Haiku Gem: Nuka

North Shore’s Finest Sushi

Ever since Nuka opened their doors back in March of 2013, they have been redefining what it means to grab sushi in Haiku. I find myself tempted to always take out dinner from Nuka since it’s only about ten minutes from my home in Haiku. The restaurant is located right on Kokomo road, across from the Maui famous Fukushima hot dogs. The location is in a previously occupied car parts store, the remodel enhances the ambiance: elegant, modern, posh.

Nuka is led by Moon Greene, who has established herself as passionate and successful restaurant owner on Maui. She is also the co-owner along with Yuri Soledade of the Paia Fish Market. The Fish Market is well known for their delectable fish burger, rich chowders, assortments of fresh fish, and all things seafood. Greene’s track record speaks for herself and it helps that she has Hiro Takanashi, Nuka’s master sushi chef backing her up. Hiro has been plying his trade on Maui for over thirty years now, his passion for his work is best understood  Nuka’s variety of specialty rolls and pupu plates, where they serve sushi and Japanese food izakaya style.

The restaurant is on the smaller side, which means that during peak hours there may be a bit of a wait. There about 10 tables in all, with the sushi bar accommodating 12 comfortably. The cement sushi bar is accented with polished aluminum chairs creating a modern industrial feel, while complimented by bamboo, lined with a slatted wood ceiling, and a wall of comfy cushions.

The bar offers a neat selection of Sake, Shochu, wine, and beer to sip on while you enjoy your night out. They also have a unique list of martinis that incorporate sake. The cucumber ginger mint martini with a sugar rim was fantastic–dry with plenty of zing from the ginger.

Nuka for now just serves dinner, but they do have plans to open a lunch deli, too. The restaurant already has an immense following, with tourists, date night diners and groups of dinner-goers constantly filling the dining room up. Join them for dinner seven days a week from 4:30-10pm.
