The Owner Andy and his family moved to the mainland and sold the restaurant. Does anyone know about new owner's plans and restaurant reopening?

We've been open since Feb, 1. Open 7days a week from 11am-10pm and on Friday and Saturday we have karaoke 10 pm-12am(close)

Is there a happy hour?

As some people have mentioned, there are new owners so their happy hour is probably different than what it once was. Draft beers are $4-5, and sushi rolls start at $7 on Happy Hour. Cocktails, wine and sake, plus sashimi and nigiri are all discounted as well. The portions were the same size as the regular portions, so it's a great deal!

For the table top grill, is the meat unlimited or we have to order it by plate/portion?

New owners. No table top grill anymore.

Do I need reservation for lunch tomorrow

I agree, better be safe and call.

There's nothing better than the freshest fish, the greatest sushi chefs, a large variety of comfort soup options, and the best sizzling steak on the island. Try anything on the menu and you'll find an Isana twist on all your favorites or try something you never have and it will be your new favorite! The drinks at the bar are great too. And the family run, friendly vibe is like no other. Enjoy indeed.

Everything was perfectly acceptable... Prices are high.. But the food was good .. Service was ok.. They forgot a roll we ordered.. And the spicy scallop roll was raw scallop inside with a drizzle of spicy sauce.. Mixing is apparently hard..

I was skeptical of this place at first. Prices seemed high. The atmosphere was great. Chad, our waiter, was awesome. Very friendly and quick. Got the rainbow roll, broke da mouth roll, and the spicy tuna roll. Sushi was some of the best we've had on island. Also ordered the Asian braised short ribs. Great flavor and very satisfying. Will be coming back here forsure!

My wife and I were staying in Kihei and this little jewel was right down the street with beautiful views of the ocean/sunset, and more importantly, incredible sushi! Bernardo, the head sous chef and his assistant Mark, along with our server Eldon, provided us some of the freshest, most delectible sushi creations we've ever experienced. I'd like to thank John and Christine for hiring these three amazing guys. Great service and delicious food! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Cheers!!

What can we say? Absolutely not enough! Having lived on the island for quite some time now Camila we have had many opportunities to try sushi throughout the island. Isana has been our favor for many years. Now, they have remodeled and has absolutely gotten better ! The views are breathtaking with incredible sunsets and whales jumping right outside the window. The service is courteous and speedy. Absolutely recommend Isana for sushi

Incredible sushi in north Kihei. This place might not be on your radar, but it should be. Isana serves fresh caught daily local sushi, as well as flown in selections from Japan. The daily specials change based on what the owner (John Arabatzis) catches of the coast of the island of Maui. Decent beer, wine, and specialty cocktail selections are available. Happy hour daily from 3pm to 5pm, and late night Friday and Saturday nights from 10pm to midnight.The fresh caught Ono sashimi ($26) for eight large pieces was very good. Hamachi jalapeño was delicious ($23) and the ultimate roll, with shrimp tempura and spicy tuna, lived up to the bartender Nicole's recommendations ($35). Friendly staff, a modern decor, and killer ocean views make this a 'must-stop' while on the island of Maui.

Showed with no reservation. Seating was completely empty. Hostess said she would not seat us because it was a half hour till reservations started. We could sit at the bar. I was visiting and wanted to face my party of 4. We ordered from a very good selection of sushi rolls and quality fresh sashimi. Being quite high in price it would of been nice to have been seated in one of the 8 tables still as vacate when we left as when we arrived. New owners. Big learning curve. Couple drinks. One nigir, 5 rolls, $150.

We arrived at Isana only a few minutes before the end of happy hour and the wait staff hurried to take our order so we could get our amazing sushi for a great price. Everything was scrumptious. My brother is not a big sushi fan so he had the catch of the day. His meal was beautiful and very very tasty. You can’t go wrong at Isana.

Enjoyed the new menu and remodel of Isana. Their happy hour is on point... especially the sushi available. (Also, thank you for making that information available online!)Enjoyed the hamachi rolls and nigiri. Cocktails were slightly on the sweet/syrupy side but that wouldn’t keep me from coming back.

It's far from the same. Nice people great environment. But the food and the prices are both pretty bad, i gave it three times. Isana used to to traditional style Korean side dishes, these folks charge for it and you have to ask. Definitely not on the list of monthly go to's.

This is my favorite place to go on dates with my wife. Have a few drinks, some pupus, and sushi. The fish is always fresh, never frozen, and caught that day. Their jalapeno hamachi is bomb, also you gotta try their oyster shooters, so ono.

I am visiting Kihei, Maui for a milestone event. I am allergic to fish, not shellfish, but regular fish, and a few other things. My husband wanted to have Sushi one night. I, of course, feel left out. I cannot have sushi. Same old story? NO!!We went to Isana Restaurant on S. Kihei rd in Kihei. Bernardo Oao Jr., the head sous chef, was amazing!! He not only helped me to feel included by making a shrimp and scallop roll for me, something totally made up on the spot and not on the menu, but he also had some great info. Telling me what I could eat, and couldn't. Trying to get me to expand my palate. He said he can accommodate ANYONE!! Allergies, gluten, Bernardo is your guy!! He was extremely detailed and knowledgeable of the fish in the area and what they have coming in fresh each day and how to prepare it. If you are looking for a restaurant that makes you feel extremely special, this is the place you want to go to!!

Atmosphere is great, plenty of things for everyone here - broad selection. We definitely recommend if anyone is seafood fans 👍
