As a reviewer looking back at the menu of Oao - Sushi Bar & Grill at Wailea, I’m left with a strong impression of a kitchen that confidently blends refined Japanese technique with approachable variety. The menu opens with Small Plates that set the tone, from the delicate Pan Seared Fresh Scallops and smoky Yakitori Chicken to vegetable-forward options like Zucchini Kushiyaki, Asparagus Kushiyaki, and the rich 6pc Baked Mussels. Moving into entrées, the restaurant clearly aims high, showcasing premium dishes such as Miso Butterfish, the indulgent Japanese Grade A5 Wagyu, Poached Lobster, Braised Duck Breast, and Stuffed Shrimp, all of which feel designed to anchor the dining experience. Salads like Spinach Dry Miso and Cilantro Lime provide lighter balance, while the Vegan Items-including Cucumber Roll (Vegan), House Veggie (Vegan), Edamame (Vegan), Broccolini (Vegan), and Spinach Dry Miso Salad (Vegan)-ensure plant-based diners are thoughtfully accommodated. The Sushi section is extensive and well-rounded, highlighted by Specialty Rolls such as Bluefin Maki Roll, Chili King Salmon Roll, Crunchy Dragon Roll, Firecracker Roll, and Green Crunchy Dragon Roll, alongside classic Rolls like Avocado Roll, California Roll, Creamy Scallops, Cucumber Avocado Roll, and Cucumber Roll. For purists, Sashimi options like Onaga (Red Snapper) Sashimi, Chef Choice Sashimi Combo 15pcs, Shima Aji / Stripped Jack Sashimi, Aka Fuji Masu Sashimi, and Ama Ebi Sashimi shine, complemented by Nigiri selections including Big Eye Tuna Nigiri, Hamachi Nigiri, Kanpachi Nigiri, and Salmon Nigiri. The Spicy Poke Bowl and Ahi Shoyu Poke Bowl add casual comfort, while the Japan Express Toyosu Market offerings-such as Shima-Aji / Stripped Jack, Akafuji Masu / Mt. Fuji Trout, and BlueFin Flight (Nagasaki Japan)-underscore the restaurant’s commitment to premium sourcing. With thoughtful Sides, kid-friendly Keiki plates, a simple Brownie & Ice Cream dessert, and even branded merchandise, the menu ultimately feels comprehensive, polished, and well-suited as a memorable conclusion to the Oao dining experience.
