    Went for happy hour and had 2 sushi rolls, pork belly, garlic noodles and coconut shrimp. The food was all exceptional, some of the best we had on the island. The kids cheeseburgers (smash burgers) were also really, really good. The service was top notch, though for some reason it wasn’t as busy as it usually is (5pm Sunday). We hadn’t been to threes for awhile and now will be getting it back in the rotation. Great food, great service, great vibes. Highly recommend .

    Sean was fantastic and food was great. We have visited in Napa before and did not have a good experience but believe it was just an off night. Glad we came for a second chance in Maui.

    Great food and ambience! Food comparable to Nobu however not as much variety. Would like to see a bit more menu options.
