Enjoyed a World Class Sushi dinner at Maru Sushi Hawaii. Michelin Star Chef Takeshi Kawasaki really knows how to prepare Sushi and engage guests in what could be one of the most expensive restaurants in Hawaii. At $250 per person minimum plus the cost of drinks, this place is not somewhere we would go often. Celebrating my Daughters birthday so decided to go for it. The small 9 seat counter has two seatings nightly. One at 5PM and one at 7:30PM. What sets this place apart for me is the service and engaging attitude of the staff. They take time to explain each dish and Chef Kawasaki loves to talk about golf. Refreshing to have such a relaxed and casual atmosphere with a Chef that does not have an attitude. Most of the fish here is flown in from Japan and it is delicious. Every dish was so good and they space out the meal with different textures, soup and seafood so you don't get too Sushied out. We all liked the fact that a lot of the dishes do not include rice and the ones that do have just enough for flavor and texture. Perfect balance that does not fill you up so fast. Also great to reduce the carbs for me. This was an incredible dinner and experience and I would love to go back over and over again because Chef Takeshi is one cool cat.
