Our first visit to Japengo was wonderful. Our server and the supporting wait staff were excellent, attentive and not overbearing. Our food was beautifully presented, served hot (cool for the sushi) and every dish was flavorful and filling. The artistic combination of Asian flavors with standard fare (beef, pork chop, fried rice, sushi) made dinner incredibly satisfying. We did not order drinks from the bar and soft drinks were refilled when needed. The ambiance was...perfect. Open air, outdoor seating allowed for all 5 in our parry to have a view, although each was different. A bit cool with the breezes off the ocean so a sweater might be right for those who get chilled easily. We would highly recommend Japengo and will definitely return.
The restaurant was overlooking the ocean with amazing views. Bobby was our waiter and did a great job of recommending meal ideas for us. The food was so delicious!!!
Excellent dining experience. Service was amazing, and food was genuinely good. Karaage chicken was really great, and the different roles we got were all equally unique and amazing. Highly recommend this spot if you're staying at the Hyatt!
We thoroughly enjoyed our dinner experience at Japengo. We had reservations and were seated promptly on time. Our server was cheerful and attentive. Cocktails, appetizers, and entrees were delivered timely and the evening was very enjoyable. All of the food was delicious.
This is hands down one of the best sushi experiences in the world. The sushi is VERY good! The staff is friendly, the location cannot be beat.
Located in the Hyatt Regency in Maui - the sunset views and open dining experience is world-class.
Recommend getting reservations. The drinks are fantastic!!

Made reservations for our honeymoon and we had an awesome experience! Food was awesome and the vibes were beautiful with the sunset. The value isn't quite there but I know its an on-site restaurant to an awesome hotel with a beach view so I can't be too critical.
Such a wonderful place for Sushi rolls, seafood and fabulous ocean views. Be sure to get reservations as they get booked fast, although check online as they also get cancellations and spots open up. The food is amazing, the views are to die for.
In two weeks, my husband and I have tried many restaurants across the island and Japengo was our favorite. The food was sensational. The views were incredible. I got the filet of beef and the tomato and corn risotto. The filet had such delicious flavor and the crunchy onions were the perfect touch. We had an excellent experience and highly recommend the restaurant.
This place serves some of the best sushi on the island. Sushi is fresh and on average price wise with the rest of the higher end places. Rice is cooked perfect. Beer is on the expensive side. Service is pretty good.
Parking is a rip off. You have to pay to park, unless you are already staying at the hotel. But you might even have to pay them. If you are spending $75 a person for dinner, parking should be included.
Great food! We showed up without a reservation and were denied because it said reservation only and they wouldn’t let us at the bar or anything. We went to a local bar opened up the app and made a reservation online and showed up back 10 minutes later and suddenly got in. Strange, right? The food was good but the waitress was not. We had to flag her down continuously. Loved the sushi and dessert! The cab wine was flat though.
The place is beautiful so score that right off. The service is five star. The food is good but not the best Sushi I have had. For the price you expect the best. I still recommend it but not five star worthy!
Surprisingly, this was my first time at Japengo. Although this is currently my mom's favorite restaurant & this is where she wanted to spend her birthday dinner.
From first impressions, this restaurant is beautiful. Even the view of the ocean is breathtaking, especially during sunset.
While we waited for our table. We ordered drinks at the bar. A few minutes later we were brought to our table. My mom requested her usual server and he was nice. Brought out our order in a timely manner. Plus the plates were almost too pretty to eat. However, were also very delicious.
Overall, was a fun place to celebrate my moms birthday with my dad and boyfriend. I'll definitely want to come back for dinner for two for a romantic night out.
Very upscale and classy. This place has something for everyone and the views are amazing. Come early and get set up for the sunset on the patio. We started with sushi and sashimi, everything was super fresh and prepared perfectly. For the meal, I got the red curry with seafood. Simply delicious. My wife ordered the prawns and she loved her dish too. The hash was great as a side dish. We ordered the creme brûlée, this was no ordinary creme brûlée. Try it for yourself!!
Great food. Nice service.
If possible make a reservation beforehand, but waiting wasn't too long without one.
Nice seating in the front, the back isn't so nice but okay as well.
One of my favorite restaurant’s that I visited @ the Hyatt Regency Resort & Spa in Maui…went with my sister & niece. We all tried something different & tried everyone’s dish. All I can say is “OMG”… can’t tell you wish was the best. Each dish had It’s own exquisite taste. Also had the shiitake mushrooms as a side & they were amazingly delicious. Made reservations ahead of time & got an awesome table that overlooked the ocean & sunset. This restaurant is a must…Tab was worth every penny ❤️
This was truly a memorable experience for my family. Jeff was the best server we have ever had. The sushi was beyond amazing and the atmosphere and view speaks for itself. I would recommend this place to anyone that wants an incredible experience especially at sunset.
I strongly recommend having a dinner at Japengo. Here, the waiters make you feel at home with their humor. Not only this, but they bring out fabulous food for you to eat and impeccable views to compliment it. Every food here is exceptional. This restaurant gives you a large and good scope of what Asian food is like.
Great splurge-worthy meal that's super convenient and walkable if you're staying in Kaanapali!
We were told that we had to have the seafood pancakes, and they did not disappoint. The rest of our order were sushi rolls. Quality was great and each of the rolls were MASSIVE. We ordered 4, and we couldn't even finish them (which is saying a lot because we normally eat 3 each and were ravenous). Service was a 10. Staff was joking with us and made us feel right at home while still being respectful of our space.
