A beautiful, cozy little Japanese restaurant with a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The food was absolutely delicious, made with fresh, high-quality ingredients, and the service was genuinely kind and attentive. A hidden gem on Maui that I would happily visit again. Highly recommended!

First time here. We sat at the sushi bar and it was perfect because it was better seats for us to be closer face to face and enjoy each other's company. Sashimi platter was excellent, fresh and delicious. Homemade ice creams (black sesame and matcha) was better then I expected.

Spectacular food, ambiance, and service. My sister and I came at 5:30 after our trip to Hana and were sat around 6:05. Tip: get there early and put your name on the list because the couple behind us was told there was a 1.5 - 2 hour wait. As there should be honestly and it is SO worth it.
Our waiter was excellent and attentive and the food came out incredibly quickly. We have almost perfected our order at Nuka and it is always such a special occasion when we decide to dine here. Here goes:
We had the Dragonfly roll, spicy garlic edamame, furikake crusted seared ahi, tempura shrimp udon (will be ordering the miso cream pasta next time though), black sesame ice cream (ICONIC), and miso ice cream (our first time trying and it was SO GOOD WOW). I cannot say enough good things about Nuka. It is a must go whenever I come home.

Really really enjoyed our experience and meal here. The ahi bowl I ordered was taste and fresh. The sushi roll was okay but glad we ordered it to try it. Service was wonderful! Would recommend this place and would love to go back!
