Kai Wailea, Maui’s Newest Restaurant Serves Sushi & Japanese Tapas

The Shops of Wailea is home to Maui’s newest restaurant: Kai Wailea.

It features Izakaya style cuisine which you can think of as tapas: small plates that are meant to be shared by others in your party.  Of course there is sushi, but there is also a wide selection of grilled meats, seafood and vegetables prepared Robata-yaki.  That means the meats are grilled over bincha charcoals which are imported directly from Japan.

Kai Wailea offers a selection of sakes, including a number of unpasturized and unfiltered ones. If that doesn’t sound tempting enough, for dessert,  they serve our favorite gelato: Ono Gelato.

For reservations, call (808) 875-1955.  Take a look at the menu at Kai Wailea.
