Great local style japanese food and good portion size. Outstanding service, polite, cheerful, and very hospitable

Great service and food. Had the tempura and really enjoyed it. The owner and the entire staff made us feel welcome and glad we dined there

Haven't been to Tokyo Tei in awhile. It was fantastic! My wife and I thought everything was better than it was before and then we met the new owner who happened to be serving us that night. She was amazing and we're glad she purchased Tokyo Tei to keep a local institution going. We will be back for sure. Great food and great service.

As the new owner since August 2024, I felt compelled to reassess the establishment's culinary offerings. The previous owner, who acquired the restaurant from the original proprietors, unfortunately deviated from the legacy of Tokyo Tei. During my conversation with the new owner, I expressed my utmost pride and gratitude for her vision to restore the authenticity of this esteemed Japanese restaurant. Her commitment to reviving the original recipes that once made this establishment Maui's premier Japanese dining destination is truly commendable. In our group of three, we placed an order for Teishoku. The menu also included a new Teishoku F, Kalbi, which my colleague ordered and kindly shared a piece with us. It was exceptionally delicious and the cut was of an appropriate thickness. My colleague also ordered Teishoku B, the Teriyaki steak, which was equally delightful. I opted for my previous favorite, Teishoku A, the teriyaki pork, and it maintained its original delectable taste. The batter for the Tempura needs to be less thicker. Otherwise, the taste of the batter is on point! The proprietor has chosen to focus on the menu rather than renovating the restaurant's interior, which is a wise business decision to renovate at a later time. If you enjoyed the original Tokyo Tei, I encourage you to give this establishment a try. I think the only thing that she can change right now is to play instrumental Japanese music to set the ambiance instead of playing local music. Other than that she is on the right track giving me a great feeling that she will be a very smart business woman on this island.

I'm a Teishoku B girl for life! Have to eat here every time we're on Maui. Under new ownership but tastes just like I remember. Light and crispy tempura batter! So yummy! Had leftovers between hubby and me so we took some home. They even bring a to go tsuyu sauce for you without asking. Had to wait a while for our order but good thing are worth waiting for.... How do they make the teriyaki steak so tender? Sashimi is always good too. Till next trip.... I shall wait for my B.

We haven't been to Tokyo Tei for years so we decided to give it a try since we were craving Japanese food. This place is tucked away on the ground floor of Puuone Towers in Wailuku. They are open Monday-Saturday for lunch from 10:30-1:30 and for dinner from 4:30-8:30. It hasn't changed at all! It's still a cozy, casual restaurant with the same menu. The service is good and pretty fast. We ordered the Kalbi Ribs Teishoku and the Teriyaki Steak Teishoku. Miso soup and hot tea are included with the meals. The food tasted really good, just like we remembered. The meats were tender and flavorful. The shrimp and vegetable tempura were crispy. The sashimi was good too (if you don't eat raw fish, they will cook your sashimi). The prices were reasonable too. I'm so glad we tried this place again so we have another Japanese restaurant to go to!

Been here a good amount of times and it's a nice local spot to go with friends and family - the classic to get is usually the Teishoku. You get to have a good amount of selection for a good size portion of food. It gets super busy at times but you definitely leave feeling satisfied if you're able to enjoy a meal here. - Miguel Morales Photography

Nostalgia to the max. Been coming here off and on all my life. Love their crispness of the tempura. My go to is the pork teriyaki. It's so tender and sweetness is well balanced with the saltiness. Lucky for me I can get both on their teishoku A. Which is what I got last night. Service was friendly and accommodating, though little slow for an early Friday night. The only real downside was that, in my belief, was the tempura was too oily for my stomach and gave me an intestinal disorder involving the toilet. But that was probably me, where I just can't do deep fried too much anymore. Still ono though
