Chef Watanabe-san at Sushi Paradise makes the finest sushi on Maui. Sushi Paradise is a tiny restaurant with just a few tables in the dining room and few seats at the sushi bar. He is a one-man operation. On the night we dined there, a couple who didn’t have a reservation strolled in and luckily found two seats at the sushi bar. The server let them know they would be waiting at least a half hour before their sushi order arrived. They placed their order left to do some shopping at the stores in the complex and promptly returned in time for their sushi order to be placed in front of them! Now that’s what I call making good use of your time.
Edamame is always a tasty way to start the evening. Place your sushi order and nibble on these salty pods with your cold beer or sake.
California Roll.
Toro. Sublime!
Shrimp tempura roll.
Seared salmon lightly wrapped with a pat of rice and topped with finely grated toppings served with ponzu sauce.
Spicy scallop roll.
Maguro and Hamachi.
This veggie roll is the best I ever tasted. Crunchy ingredients perfectly wrapped in creamy avocado slices.
Watanabe-san at Sushi Paradise makes some of the best sushi we have ever eaten and he does not compromise by serving mediocre ingredients to his customers. Everything we ordered was fresh and delicious and of the best quality imaginable. Simple touches such as ground sesame seeds on the takuan pickles makes this place special. If you love sushi, as we do, you will find no finer than at Sushi Paradise!
