The upscale Hawaiian island of Maui is finally about to receive a gift next year in the form of their first-ever Nobu eatery, a concept courtesy of chef Nobu Matsuhisa, Robert De Niro, and Meier Teper. The restaurant will be found at the Grand Wailea, a Waldorf Astoria Resort, in summer 2025.

Designed by the renowned architecture and design firm Rockwell Group, the debut of Nobu at Grand Wailea is a pivotal element in the resort’s extensive $350 million rejuvenation effort by owner, Blackstone Real Estate, and marks the first iteration of the famed restaurant on the Hawaiian island of Maui.

“We are deeply excited to bring the Nobu signature dishes and dining experience that guests have come to cherish to Wailea Bay,” says chef Nobu Matsuhisa. “The opportunity to share the classic dinner, alongside a curation of menu items exclusive to Grand Wailea, is a source of pride for us and allows us to expand the brand’s footprint within Hawaii with an aligned hotel partner.”

Nobu at Grand Wailea will offer over 13,000 sq.ft of indoor and alfresco dining spaces, with a dedicated sushi bar, complemented by striking murals and panoramic Pacific ocean views. The restaurant will spotlight Nobu-signature dishes such as the iconic Black Cod with Miso and Yellowtail Jalapeño, alongside the acclaimed sushi synonymous with the brand.
