Food: 11/10 Service: 20/10 (unbelievable) Atmo: 10/10 I can't express how much I loved this place. I haven't experienced this level of omotenashi outside of Japan. I felt so valued by Tomoe, the server, who extended such gracious hospitality for my birthday. All the little things they did to make our meal special were so amazing and personal. Every dish was delicious. I even got to try a couple of new dishes I haven't seen before (takowasabi & mozuku) which made it even more special. The uni was fabulous. The sushi rice was on point. Unagi was delicious with a slight char, which made it even more delicious. Service was the very definition of omotenashi: so welcoming, warm, and kind. I couldn't recommend this place more. It's a must-try spot if you're on Maui.

This restaurant is truly underrated. The quality and freshness of the fish, along with the craftsmanship of the sushi, stand out and surpass many other options on the island. As a small operation, service can occasionally be slower during busy periods, but the food is well worth the wait. While the setting is simple and doesn’t offer a scenic view, a slightly dimmer ambiance could further enhance the dining experience. Overall, an excellent destination for high-quality sushi. You get what you pay for $$$$$.

1054TOGOSHI’s owner, Satoe, is refreshingly open with telling her story, in which it is clear that she is passionate about mixing the Aloha spirit with Omotenashi, or Japanese spirit. Through her sweet and cheerful hospitality, and her husband Chef Manabu’s impeccable sushi craft, we truly felt the mixing of these spirits at dinner tonight in their restaurant. In a world today that can feel artificial and impersonal, this wife-and-husband run restaurant that feels like home made us feel truly connected to the local Maui spirit. Not to mention, every piece of sushi that Chef prepared was incredible too. For a delicious, fresh sushi dinner with heart, please check them out when you visit Maui.
