The 50 best spots for nachos in Maui

We dined here on our honeymoon and we loved the experience! The ambiance of the restaurant was really fun and it was cool to see all the various cocktails and things on the menu. We got truffle fries and some type of ravioli to start… loved the fries but would not recommend the ravioli. It was a weird texture and overpoweringly cheesy. The drinks and margaritas pizza were great, too! We came for happy hour and our waiter was great! We did feel a little forgotten about at the end of our meal, but it was starting to pick up a ton by that time as it transitioned to dinner time.

A beautiful restaurant with delicious locally themed dishes and a staff that is efficient, friendly, and attentive. The restaurant is comfortably decorated in a modern tropical theme. Tables and booths are available and are spaced so that you're not on top of other visitors. A large bar offers comfortable counter service. Tables are also available on an outside patio. We have never needed to make reservations. However, during busier times of the year and for large groups it would probably be smart to make arrangements. A free parking lot is available adjacent to the restaurant.

Awesome! The food and drinks were very very good. Sydney was our bartender and she couldn't have been more friendly and helpful. The drinks were great and unique, including a house made vanilla cream on the espresso martini. Food was outstanding and the unexpected amazing corn bread. Must try if you are in this area or within striking distance.

My husband and I were in Maui last week for our honeymoon and we came to Monkeypod twice during our stay. The first night I got the famous mai tai and it was delicious. I’m not even really a fan of sour/sweet cocktails, but the foam on this one really made it special and more decadent. We tried several items, but we especially loved the sashimi tacos, beef bulgogi tacos, and the gyoza. All were exceptional! If we are ever back in Maui we will definitely come back again!

Great foodie spot in Maui for anyone wanting a solid, flavor packed meal! I had many fiends recommend trying Monkeypod on top of the local reputation this place carries. I highly encourage everyone to make a reservation as this place gets booked up very quickly, even on a weekday. For those without a reservation, I heard the hostess tell someone it would be over an hour before getting seated. (Just a heads up!) The food was very good, overall! The entrees in particular. I had the bulgogi beef tacos and my partner ordered the gnocchi. Both were exceptional! The tacos were drizzled in a chile aioli, a fresh chile, and some crunchy veg. Truly one of the best tacos I’ve had in a really long time. At first I thought the dish was small for the price, but they’re packed and I left very full. My mouth still waters thinking about this meal! My partner who orders the gnocchi feels the same way. His dish was rich, filling, and balanced by the addition of veg. He said to me “oh, so this is how gnocchi are supposed to taste!” Once you’ve had these light, fluffy pillows you can’t go back to the rubbery version most restaurants serve. My partner also remarked he enjoyed this dish so much he’d be hard pressed to order or try anything else! However, we both felt the same about the tortilla soup - it was underwhelming. It was too spicy and not balanced by anything. It wasn’t super hot when severed and I’d not order it again. Given how great the entrees were this appetizer should be reconsidered or removed from the menu. The atmosphere is laid back, feels casual, and very loud. The evening we dined inside it was packed and I could barely hear my partner talk. If this bothers you then you walk may want to ask about outdoor dining. Also, due to how busy the night was, the staff tried turning tables over very quickly which lead to small missteps in service. For example, the guys busing the tables wiped food onto the seats and left it there for the next diner to clean or possibly sit on. On a brighter note, when I used the restroom I did witness a staff member wash their hands for a full minute and avoid touching the door handle upon exit! 🎉👏 Love seeing good hygiene practices! The service was great the entire evening. Our server was very knowledgeable about the menu, described the dishes in great detail, which was very helpful in making our menu selections. Overall, I’d highly recommend making a reservation and making Monkeypod part of your Maui visit! It was easily one of my favorite meals during the whole trip and I’d absolutely go back!

Overall good review. They will tell you to come on in without a reservation but expect a 30 min wait. When you go to buy a drink at the bar while you’re waiting the bartender will abruptly direct you to a line to order a drink which felt strange. I had the fish and chips which was very good. My wife had a pizza which was very limp and wet and wasn’t great but not horrible. Our waiter was outstanding once we got to our table. Their prices are very fair for the food, the drinks are a little pricey. And the Mai Tai is as good as rumored.

Great place! Just the kind of place we were looking for on our honeymoon that wasn’t going to kill us. We went during happy hour and it was so fun. Great service, great drinks and good food! No reservation (on a Monday) and got in after about 5 minute wait.

You’re coming here for the incredible ocean and beach views whilst enjoying a decent breakfast. Seriously, it’s the atmosphere that is the selling point. But you’ll pay the price, not so much in dollars but time. People in line said it would take an hour and came previous days where it was even longer. For pancakes and eggs? Yeah. So a pro tip: order by phone and it takes 25-20 minutes. Grab a table or lounger right next to the restaurant outside by the hotel pool. Same incredible view but much faster! But they’re super nice. They have umbrellas to shade from the sun. They gave cups of ice water too. Food: Pancakes were average. Not particularly fluffy or special quality. And they gave a huge platter of cream which of course made them better. The omelette with Swiss cheese (forgot the official name) was pretty good but ya gotta like cheese. Portuguese sausages were the best item IMO. Breakfast potatoes pretty good too. But the toast wasn’t very toasty.

Really nice spot for breakfast. Great views of the ocean and relatively affordable for the quantity provided. I would highly recommend the omelettes. We also ordered a shrimp sandwich which was really fresh and tasty. There is ample parking available and don’t miss out on the fresh fruit! Highly recommended.

We got the scrambled eggs and the combo pancakes. They were delicious and amazing and the servings here are huge. Definitely recommend coming here as it opens so you don't have to wait in line. If you come later, just know you can do takeout and that will be way way faster.

Popular breakfast spot with beach views. We read other reviews that recommended arriving here earlier than the 7:30am opening time. We arrived at 7am and it was 35 minute wait after opening. The line moved slowly because there’s limited seating and people don’t rush but it’s a vacation vibe, so what do you expect. We ordered the combo pancakes and the half order of fried rice. The half order portion was huge - I still had leftovers after the meal. Cash and credit cards accepted but it’s more expensive to use credit cards. The view of the water was great and our waitress was efficient. Everyone was chilling and assuming that you’re not in a rush, it is a good place to stop by.

An outdoor seating restaurant with superior service and food. We waited 30 minutes for a table and when left there were at least that many people in line for a table. When my sandwich got soggy because I hadn't eaten it fast enough, the waitress volunteered to return it to the cook to be regrilled. Many of the sides, sauces, and condiments are made in house. A great experience.

Listen, the food here is absolutely delicious and the staff were so quick and friendly. My husband and I split the pancakes and fried rice but we still couldn’t finish it all so just know the portions are huge! If it weren’t for the outrageous wait times with no organization around waiting to be seated (putting a name down), then I would’ve ranked this a 5/5. We got there right at open and there was a long line waiting already, which we expected but thought it would move faster than it did. It took us nearly an hour of standing in line to be seated, which at some point just isn’t worth it to me. My husband didn’t seem to mind, so to each his own, but I was absolutely drained and just wanted to rest. There was only one provided bench and pool loungers from the hotel that’s next to it, but the loungers were covered in water from the rain and bird poop, so you’re more than likely going to have to stand the whole time. Once again, not the biggest deal to some people, but it was nearly a deal breaker for me. If you can get around that, it’s absolutely worth the hype!

This is a not-so-hidden “Gem” spot.. that should most definitely be on your “must eat” Maui list! Go early in your trip, as you will have leftovers for days — portions are THAT generous! Be prepared to wait in line - but soooo worth it. ENJOY🌊

The original Kahana location closed, so this newer and much larger location is their sole spot on the rock. ATMOSPHERE: They have a humongous building in the tech park. The landscaping looks so mainland-ish, I love it! There's a good-sized living room-like area at the front, outdoor lanai seating and a gargantuan main dining area with bar. BEVERAGE: True North Refreshing with nicely-balanced flavors. Highly recommended. Lei'd Lychee Unfortunately served lukewarm, it was very light on lychee flavor but heavy on the pineapple. FOOD: MBC Nachos We added spicy Mexican beef which wasn't spicy hot at all. Mainstream version. Chicken Bacon Ranch Sando I wanted to be a little healthier and got his tasty little sammy. SERVICE: Consistently good throughout the years. OVERALL: South Maui's best bar & restaurant setting.

5 stars because of the experience and the beers but the food was a little bland. Going for dinner the wait was long since we didn’t have a reservation and it’s a popular spot. We were able to sit in the tasting area and drink while waiting. Got a table outside which as the sun went down it was a good temperature and they opened the large garage doors. The food looked amazing but the hot fish sandwich wasn’t hot and didn’t have a lot of flavor. The fish tacos were the same way too. Enjoyed the dessert though and recommended getting some cheesecake cake. Would good again since it was a really nice brewery and to try other food.

We had planned to come here for happy hour but got blown off the beach by the wind so we were a bit early. Parking is easy and plentiful, and the space is massive both indoor, covered patio, and outdoor games space. It was our first time here, the bar seating is seat yourself and the rest a host needs to take you to the table. It wasn’t too busy but we were clumped together with other tables when there was plenty of space to spread out. We both got Mexican lime lagers and they were pretty good but not super cold? We also shared the pork belly bao buns and the flavours didn’t complement (needed something pickled to offset the fatty pork and hoisin instead of the overpowering chilli mayo). Service was friendly. Would be a great spot for groups or an evening hangout spot to play the outdoor games. Next time I’d come for happy hour and get a flight to try several beers and the $13 pizza, but I’m not rushing back (and you can get their beers on tap at other establishments on island for cheaper than the source).

We spent our last afternoon trying the happy hour here and it was very worth the time and money! The food specials are great, the drinks were delicious but what stood out the most was the quality of service. The food and drinks came out fast, the servers are attentive but leave you alone. The decor is beautiful and simple. If you’re looking for a good happy hour, it’s here!

It pains me to give this low of rating on typically a consistent 4 or even 5 star experience but my experience today was so terrible I feel like a review needs written. I really believe the server sets the tone of the evening for the establishment and our server came off like she could care less about her job. We had to flag her down to order dinner, drinks, ask for more water, ask for refills ask for our check. She would often just walk by our table, never check in. I really do not like to flag a server down, but at one point, I really thought she forgot about us. She also forgot to put food items in to order, so it took almost 90 minutes just for our full order to come out. And upon paying, she requested at 25% tip. The food and drinks were really delicious. I do want it noted that this is the third place I have ordered a Caesar salad, and while the prices line up with the other establishments, this portion was about half the size, so I would not order it again. I do hope to go back to allow them to redeem themselves, but this was a big step down in the experience from last year, and I would hate to stop going in general.

What a great brewery and restaurant. I wish I could have tried every beer! This was our first stop after picking up our rental car on the way to our condo. So glad our friend recommended this stop. The grounds are beautiful, whether you are sitting inside or outdoors, the entire restaurant has an open feel. The staff were all very friendly and the environment is very clean. Had we had time I would have come back for one of their brewery tours and to try more beer. I had the Pineapple Mana Wheat, delicious with a perfect balance of flavor. It paired perfectly with my jalapeño bacon burger... which was amazing. I'll definitely recommend this to friends and family and when I make it back to the island for a speaking gig or an Own Your Awkward retreat, I'll be sure this is part of the experience.

My favorite spot in Maui! Great beer, awesome atmosphere, and delicious food. Everything I had was amazing and would have again. They have an outdoor area for cornhole, relaxed seating. To get food we had to sit on the patio where table service was though. Live music.

Stopped by Hula Grill Kāʻanapali to catch the sunset and enjoy a drink and a bite. The vibe here is great — a big, lively restaurant that’s clearly very popular on the west shore of Maui. I ordered the ceviche and the fish & chips. The ceviche was fresh and tasty, but it’s a small portion, really just enough for one person. The fish & chips were okay, nothing particularly memorable. Overall, it’s a fun spot to grab a drink and some food while watching the sunset, but don’t come expecting an outstanding dining experience — the atmosphere is the main highlight here.

Service was quick and friendly. Our server was nice and we talked about our tattoos. No wait to get in. We had the kapulu joe which was a sweet pulled pork sandwhich and ahi poke bowl. Both were delicious. Prices were pretty reasonable. It is located at whaler's village so the area is pretty happening during the day. It was pretty relaxed vibe with live music playing cover songs on the ukulele. It is definately a good spot to stop and grab lunch if you are shopping in the village or coming g back from a fishing or snorkeling outing.

This is my fourth visit to Maui and each time I've made a trip to the Hula Grill for great meals either by myself or without others. This time I'm visiting while attending a women's conference close to the Hula Grill. We arrived in Maui on late Friday morning and headed over to the restaurant from the airport. I had a reservation for five, we had a wonderful lunch and lucky us, we were comped a wonderful Alaskan style dessert, delicious. This evening our group had grown to 10 and I booked the 5p time slot before realizing we would need an additional :30 - :45 minutes. So on our lunch break I drove over and spoke to the hostess re a later arrival and she said yes, we might have a short wait but ok. Around 5:15 p I received a text, then a call to confirm and I let them know we were on our way. A group of 5 in each car, our first group arrived about 5:30p and the others in our party were following. Our waiter Matty, appeared and took our order for drinks, then expressed concern about the other 5 in our group. His attitude became more edgy as the minutes went by, after :15 minutes 4 more arrived and Matty appeared relieved. Our remaining member arrived and full on service finally was underway. However the waiter attitude situation never really improved, such a disappointment. He needs to be consistent in his behavior as a server. Our final bill was over $1000 including tax and tip. The food was great, the atmosphere was excellent especially since most were first time diners @Hula Grill they were very happy. Maybe Matty was having an off-night because as we were taking photos he offered to take our group shots.

Great atmosphere! A little loud , but there is a lot going on! Service was good , order a filet mignon which was good , the mashed potatoes were just okay , shrimp was perfect ! Overall we had a great experience! Probably would have order the fish next time !

I tried everything on the table so here’s my extensive opinion 😂 Drinks: go for the mango mezcal cocktail, it’s the best. The lychee martini was very sweet so if you don’t like sweet go for something else! Very solid Caesar salad 👌 like a remarkably good Caesar salad. Seafood potstickers were better than the pork ones, both good but if you’re deciding between them go with the seafood ones. Pork was shredded just fyi! The salmon sashimi was melt in your mouth. Ahi steak was fantastic, as was the pork shank. Didn’t love the macadamia nut mahi mahi. Great atmosphere and always a good time!

As you see from one of my pictures there’s half cheeseburger, our waitress know what we was planning we picked one entree and one appetizer to share, I personally can’t eat much so I don’t like the feeling of overeating. So she asked us if we wanted the burger to be cuts in half and of course I said yes if that’s possible. I told our waitress that I don’t want cheese on the burger but it’s served with cheese but luckily I can scraped out pretty good from my burger, I’m not allergic to it I just don’t like the taste of the cheese. The Hula burger was really tasty.. we both really liked it, it was perfect! Coconut calamari was so so, not really a fan of it. Then we tried the Hula Pie, the Hula Pie was amazing! Our waitress was Amber F, at first impression she seems cold and a bit unfriendly but at the halfway through the end on our late lunch I found her she’s a sweetheart! Turns out I really happy and like her personality 🤙🏼

Overall: 2.5 Subpar, overpriced food. Solid service and atmosphere. Went twice since it was very close to where we were staying and that was plenty. Won't be back on our visit; too many other better places. Food: 2 stars. During our first visit, we had the lobster tails and broccolini, then had the hula pie. Lobster was good. Not a fan of the Hawaiian-style rice but was pretty standard. Broccolini had too much lemon flavor. Hula pie was 3.5 stars but not big on sweets, just had to try. In the 2nd visit, we tried the Thai chicken flatbread. It was very sweet and the chicken tasted like canned chicken with some fish flavor. Maybe fish was cooked along with canned chicken... not sure, but we sent back. Had cheeseburger with Caesar salad. Salad was actually very good. The crunchy stuff on top and their Caesar dressing was unique and very tasty. Burger tasted like spam and was very subpar. Drinks: 2 stars. Weak cocktails. Below average flavor. OK beer selection- lavaman was solid; one of Maui Brewing's best beers. Service: 4 stars. Waitress was on top of things. Didn't wait too long for anything. She was likeable and respectful. When we returned pizza in 2nd visit, they were very nice and understanding. Atmosphere: 4 stars. Live music was great first night: soothing classic songs, good voice and vibe; had a hula dancer. Music in 2nd visit was ok. Sunset over beach was very nice. They lit tiki torches around sunset also. Great vibe. Had bar and barefoot sand area. Didn't sit in main dining area. Not a lot of TVs to watch sports outside but not sure about in main dining area. Price: 2 stars. Overpriced even a bit for Hawaii.

We went for happy hour. Charlene our waitress was friendly and gave good service. Variety of dishes for happy hour. Chili tequila was spicy. Wings were crispy and slightly sweet. The hurricane fries were well liked. Calamari was unfortunately not cooked properly being the only downside. The view is beautiful

Beautiful beach/ ocean front table view. The fresh fruit was delicious. The house special pancake- filled with banana and pineapple was tasty but just a little too mushy if you are in the mood for pancakes. Like eating a Custard with a thin skin and with fruit added. Overall a great breakfast spot- just will order different menu item. Sorry, the birds are cute but they come onto your table ( 5 or 6 total ) and 1-2 even eat out of the plates.

The view from Sea House alone is worth the trip! Stunning Napili Bay location and view. The food puts it over the top! I have been there several times for breakfast and the food and service is consistently amazing. Wendy and Marlon are fabulous. Prices are incredibly low for the large amount of food you get. This is one of my all time favorite restaurants on Maui.

We arrived at 5:30 for reservations and from that point forward it was magical. The server was top notch (April?) I swear she read my mind for when to come and fill wine and check in. She is very skilled. The Trio Fish special was incredible and the lobster was just as delicious. The gnocchi with truffle and mushroom was by far my absolute favorite. Everything was 10/10 recommend. The mango sorbet was beyond delicious. THANKS FOR A MAGICAL EVENING SEA HOUSE.

What's vibe and it's right on the water. Just so beautiful and calming space. I ordered way too much the proportions are big! I loved the tofo teriyaki. The gnocchi itself melted in your mouth but the sauce was too garlicky.

There aren't enough words to describe just how great this little seaside restaurant truly is. The food is beyond amazing. Everything was cooked and seasoned perfectly. We requested a window table to view the sunset and they were even able to get us seated a little early, securing the last window table availability that evening. Our server Patrick was very friendly and had perfect timing. He was attentive but didn't hover and allowed time for my partner and I to enjoy our meal, the sunset and each other. As a San Diego native I can confidently say that the fresh ceviche is probably the best ive ever had. The filet DID NOT disappoint and was super flavorful. Make reservations here if you are looking for an intimate elevated beach side dining experience. As self proclaimed foodies, we highly recommend you give this place a try

Started with calamari. Outstanding. Moved on to monchong and kanpachi, 2fish we’d never heard of but they were awesome! Dessert cheesecake was a surprise gift for our anniversary and it was good. Did I mention the martinis? Fantastic. A great dining experience.

We went for Happy Hour and as always the food was spectacular! Happy Hour is our favorite time to go because we get to try a larger variety of things, and still respect our budget. Our service was really not great, the waiter kept taking everyone's plates with food still on it without asking if anyone was finished. I had to get my son's meal replaced because he took half his lunch. We didn't have a long wait but it was also because we had reservations for our group.

Had a wonderful experience with Ethan, as my waiter. He was attentive but didn't hover. The Spaghetti squash entree with shrimp, was fresh, delicious and so unique from most menus. And then I spotted my favorite dessert when I visit Maui, but hadn't located so far this visit. The pineapple creme brulee was beautiful to look at and absolutely delicious. So thankful for my spontaneous lunch at Tommy Bahamas. Thanks Ethan for the friendly, personal service that made my lunch even nicer.

Our first time at a Tommy Bahama during our stay in Wailea. Located within the Shops at Wailea, in walking distance from major resorts. Plenty of parking in the free parking lot. Fully handicap accessible via ramps and/or elevator. Friendly and attentive front desk staff and ushers. We were seated immediately, had a reservation but the restaurant wasn't very busy at dinner time. Observation: unable to book through Open Table, but no issue to get a reservation when calling in. The lady looked up my profile from my cell#. Strange business practice... Nice table indoors, next to open tall doors to the terrace/patio. Good music in the background, noise level was rather low, easy to talk. The waitress gave us time to choose our orders. Excellent cocktails, shared a good starter followed by steaks. Almost perfectly cooked, slight too much for my taste (my filet was more medium than medium rare). Good quality and flavors. Great maybe not excellent though. Service speed seemed rushed and not well timed between starter and mains. Steaks were consequently warm but not hot anymore. I certainly get the american approach of a typical fast dinner, nevertheless this is a major vacation destination and the place wasn't too busy. Minus two stars for the service overall. Recommended with limits, open to sample another Tommy Bahama location.

Adam our server was absolutely a delight to get to know and help us with recommendations. We loved every bite of food. We got to know each other a little bit and mentioned it was our last day on the island, we were here for an anniversary. As kind and generous and welcoming as possible, our server Adam treated us with a yummy dessert to celebrate us! What wonderful hospitality and Experience! We couldn’t be more happy with our dinner at Tommy’s.

The food was delicious! The prices, even during happy hour, were a little ridiculous. The location wasn’t great. Not much of a view and squished in the corner of a high end shopping mall with terrible parking. Saying the service was Sub Par doesn’t quite cover it. My kids waited over an hour to get their food. Tons of other food was brought to the table and we had to ask specifically for the them to bring out our kids food because they were starving. Then while other food was being brought out, half of both of my kids meals was bussed from the table without asking if we wanted to take the very expensive food home with us. My kids weren’t even done eating. We complained about the food being taken, and it happened again to other appetizers that people were still eating, but again didn’t realize we’re being taken until they were gone. The drinks were ok, but again way too expensive, even during happy hour. Our waiter was not very friendly and would not have gotten a tip if it were not included due to the size of our group.

This was a nice little place. A tad difficult to find. Service was excellent. Food was okay. I had the crab cakes which were a little too fishy for my taste. I had the pineapple brûlée and it was delicious!

Wonderfully curated menu and great cocktails. The atmosphere was high end casual as per normal Tommy Bahama style. Deserts were great. My only issue was that they seemed understaffed on wait staff and overstaffed on buss people.

Mala Ocean Tavern completely exceeded our expectations! The food and service were absolutely top-notch. I had the filet mignon, which was cooked to perfection—tender, flavorful, and beautifully presented. My fiancé ordered the scallops, and they were perfectly seared and bursting with flavor. To top it all off, we finished with the affogato, which was the perfect sweet ending to an unforgettable meal. The atmosphere and ocean views made the experience even more special. Highly recommend for anyone looking for an incredible dining experience in Maui!

My partner and I have been to most restaurants in and around Lahaina, and we were so happy to have found Mala! We’re both gluten-free and total foodies, and it’s rare to find a place that delivers on both flavor and service — but Mala absolutely did. Our server Thomas was the BEST — friendly, knowledgeable, and incredibly attentive. He knew all the specials, kept our glasses full, and made sure our table was always clean without hovering. The food was outstanding, and Thomas went above and beyond by helping us secure Mother’s Day / birthday reservations seven months in advance! He even introduced us to Sergio, the manager, who took amazing care of us as well. Everything about our experience was perfect — the food, the service, the vibe. If you’re anywhere near Lahaina, do yourself a favor and pull up to Mala for a fantastic meal and some of the best service you’ll find anywhere.

Came here on a Saturday night , day after Halloween, place was half full. I’ve heard a lot about Mala from family & friends , knew i was in for a treat. My wife, 25 weeks pregnant , eats plant based and there were several options for her. Our server, Carlos, was soft spoken but confident & gave us great pointers - he’s someone you just know you can trust. I got the ceviche w the sweet potato Chips , my wife got the Brussel sprouts to start, both were just fantastic! The brussel sprouts were cooked to perfection & the ceviche i got was in this rich coconut broth that i ended up drinking. Really refined and confident flavors. For our main dish, my wife got the vegan curry & i was stuck between the pork shank (Carlos said it falls off the bone) and the pan seared mahi mahi (which i ended up getting). While the portion size of the mahi mahi was on the smaller side, the actual dish was huge — Yukon potatoes and a great ginger sauce with mushrooms and carrots - just really full flavor. Id like to note that i got their version of a Mai tai as well as a gin drink that were some of the best cocktails I had during our trip. Pricing was fair and the food quality was just superb - couple that with Carlos service and the incredible waterfront views — you got yourself a fantastic meal . Would RUN back. Also, their sambal was SPICY!

Enjoyed our ocean front breakfast. The pork belly eggs Benedict was delicious but it had a little too much fat. The classic eggs Benedict was good. Big portion so come hungry. French toast was good with a twist of purple yam gellato. Aloha!

Would not come back here. We had dinner here last night for my husband’s birthday, and unfortunately, it was a disappointing experience. Our server was wonderful—warm, attentive, and accommodating—and our table by the ocean was beautiful. However, the food quality and flavor fell far short of expectations, especially for a restaurant so highly rated. It honestly ruined what was meant to be a special evening; we didn’t even feel like ordering dessert to celebrate. For starters, we ordered the Ube bread and the Poisson Cru. The bread arrived cold in the middle, suggesting it had been reheated rather than freshly prepared. The Poisson Cru lacked the salt, lime, and chili flavor described on the menu—it tasted mostly like fish in plain coconut milk. We then ordered the Caesar salad and the Surf & Turf. The salad was decent, though overly dressed. The Surf & Turf, however, was the most disappointing dish of the night. The filet mignon had no seasoning or flavor, the octopus was bland, and the potatoes on the side resembled unseasoned breakfast potatoes rather than a dinner accompaniment. Given the restaurant’s reputation and glowing reviews, we expected a refined, flavorful dining experience. Unfortunately, the dishes lacked balance and care in execution. The service and setting were excellent, but the food was simply not up to par—especially for a special occasion.

🌊 Pure Magic at Mala Ocean Tavern, Maui 🌴 I’m still in awe of the experience we had at Mala Ocean Tavern — it was absolute perfection from start to finish. I went for the surf and turf (and couldn’t resist adding scallops 😋), while my wife had the green curry with seafood, and every bite was pure heaven. What made it even more unforgettable was the ocean view, just steps away — the sound of the waves, the warm breeze, and that Maui sunset painting the sky. 🌅 The staff went above and beyond — so kind, attentive, and full of great recommendations that made the meal even more special. It’s one of those rare moments where everything just clicks — incredible food, an amazing team, and the beauty of nature all around you. Feeling so grateful to have experienced it. 💙

Like the name suggests, this place is immediately next to the ocean. The sprays up on the windows often. It's great to watch during dinner. The food was excellent and the menu was diverse and creative. The service was stellar. The views of the sailboats and the ocean waves made for a memorable dinner experience.

We had such a phenomenal experience at Plantation House for our honeymoon. The food, atmosphere and service were top tier. Lauren was such an attentive and pleasant server. She had great recommendations and made sure our night was special. The chef that curated this menu has a gift. Thank you for such an amazing night, one of the best meals we have had. Highly recommend the Lavender Whale (i substituted vodka for the gin it was amazing), scallops with added the lobster tail, my husband had the two fish special, then we both had dessert, creme brulee and cheesecake. Everything was spectacular! Not to mention the beautiful views! If you got to only one restaurant during your stay, go here.

We had a wonderful first experience tonight at The Plantation House. We were seated promptly at our reserved time. The decor is so clean and airy and comfortable. There really isn't a bad seat in the restaurant. Our server was very warm and helpful, and she checked on us often. Everyone enjoyed their dishes. The seafood was all fresh, and the lamb chops were decadently tender and juicy. Parking was valet only.

All of the food that we had was great! All of the servers were very nice and respectful. We had our reservations around 4:30pm and not many people were there when we first arrived but it got very busy as the night went on. This restaurant os a perfect place to watch the sunset and have a dinner. The price of the food is on the higher side but all of the food was fantastic. We would recommend going if you are in the area!

Plantation House has one of the greatest sunset views! It is so hard to beat and the food is phenomenal! Get a view looking out towards the sunset, and pro tip: you can walk downstairs and get an unobstructed view on the golf course. All the food was top notch. Don’t forget to the dessert.

Such a wonderful restaurant to eat and watch the sunset. We had salads, calamari, and several fish dishes. All of them were delicious. The service was great and the views were stunning. It’s a great place to sit and enjoy an evening.

Whilst staying locally the wife and I drove up to watch the sunset with cocktail in hand. We didn't have dinner reservations, but there is a bar area with a restricted view. The actual golf course was closed (water problems), but the restaurant was quite full and the food looked good. The front of house was friendly and helpful, but the barman was a little surly. We would probably dine there if we went back to Maui, but I think the restaurant closes at 8pm so book early and hit the circa 6pm sunset!

What a great place for a very nice dinner. Escargot was rich and yummy. Poke with the avocado wasabi was delicious. I had the duo fish plate with butter fish and a sea bass. That was a nice combo. Fiance had the filet mignon, pretty good cut of beef. Creme Brulee was excellent. Great golf course and ocean views. Hope to play next time.

Kehei Cafe: A Must-Try for Breakfast on Maui Kehei Cafe is definitely doing something right! I visited this morning with my daughter and was thrilled that we were able to get a table pretty quickly—a great start to the day. The staff was fun and helpful, making for a really pleasant atmosphere. For our meal, we decided to indulge, and every dish was a winner. We started with a classic cinnamon roll, but the real stars of the show were the savory and sweet mains. The breakfast burrito was awesome! It was big and tasty and got an extra layer of deliciousness from the addition of fried rice inside—a truly inspired combination. The French toast was equally impressive. It was wonderfully thick and perfectly prepared. The topping was what set it apart: they used bananas that were kinda fried and absolutely incredible, all topped with a unique and delicious coconut syrup. Between the quick seating, the great service, and the truly delicious and hearty food, Kehei Cafe is a must-try for anyone looking for an excellent breakfast spot. Highly recommend the breakfast burrito and the French toast!

The food choices are awesome. The service is friendly and efficient. The food is delicious 😋. The servings are plentiful. You order at the counter and they give you a number and you seat yourself inside or in the outside patio area. The servers bring your food out to you. There is a self serve station where you can get cold water and condiments. It is located inside the Lahaina Gateway Shopping Center across from Ross. There is plenty of parking.

We were debating between this and Bacon & Blossom we went for Kihei Caffe bc it’s more of a landmark but it’s definitely like an overpriced Dennys breakfast. You have to wait in line first to order, only one cashier so line can get long, then you get your drinks and look for a table. If you’re lucky you won’t be surrounded by chickens who want to eat your food. They even came up to our table it was a bit scary. There is no restroom so you have to go across the street to the beach restroom or at the outdoor market next door. If you want to go for the experience, cool it’s nice in front of the beach but food definitely didn’t wow me.

I’ve come here over 10 times just for their coffee alone. It’s the best best Macnut coffee I’ve had on the island so far and nothing comes close. The food options are very solid as well and quite large. The only food I didn’t like was the omelet. Everything else from Loco moco, ube panacakes, and french toast was 10/10.

The food was okay. I mean large portions with a Denny’s type of flavor. It was good but no wow factor and then the chickens roaming around outside are becoming rogue. You cant blame them but ya know they stole the show instead of allowing me to enjoy conversation and breakfast.

Probably the best catfish I've ever had. The guy that took my order was very upbeat and helpful. He actually suggested the catfish and boy was he right. I have to plan another trip to Maui just to eat here again!

The food is excellent. The staff is warm and friendly. Excellent patio seating might be a bit noisy for some. Some might also find the caffe a bit pricey. If you're planning to enjoy your meal on the patio tables, ORDER FIRST then find a table. Don't save tables before ordering. This is very helpful for guests who have already ordered find a table. The staff will bring your order to you. Also, while waiting in line, look over the handheld menu so that you have an idea what you'd like when it's your turn to order. Over the years (decades), this local style caffe has become very popular with regular visitors to Maui...for good reason. The food is excellent and the portions are large. As such, we strongly suggest visiting as early as possible. Each of the plates includes a local flair. There are a large selection of dishes, each is delicious. Various coffees and juices are available. The later guests arrive, the more challenging parking can be. Limited parking is available in the street. A large parking lot is available adjacent to the caffe. Restrooms are a short walk away.

This place was fantastic. The service was personal and world class. All of the workers there clearly had personal interest in making sure our experience was fantastic and that we loved the food. They even took extra special care to ask what we were doing next what we have already done our vacation and gave us a list of things that we should check out that were local before we left the island. We will absolutely go out of our way to come back to this place again.

We stopped at Kula Bistro for breakfast after watching the sunrise at Haleakalā while on our honeymoon, and it was the best decision! We ordered the corned beef hash eggs benedict and the steak and eggs—hands down the best breakfast we had on the island. Everything was cooked perfectly and so flavorful. The service was wonderful too, super friendly and attentive. Highly recommend this spot if you’re in Maui!

This a hard review, the place is cute and the food is fresh and really good with huge portions. I did however find a thin metal wire in my mouth from my spaghetti, I first thought it was a rosemary stem or somethingbut when I took it out it was definitely metal ....they said it was from the brush they clean the grill with...they offered half off my plate as a sorry. I didn't care to make a stink or anything but the more I thought about it ..thats pretty dangerous and their reaction was pretty non chalant lol ..... Otherwise the food was really good and portions are huge

A bit away from the tourists. Is a awesome tip for a amazing foodtour!! Great service, super cool menu, delicious food! The size is hammerd👌💪! Kaipo, congratulations!! Super good job from your stuff!

We stopped in after visiting the botanical gardens and had an amazing meal here. Great vegetarian options and unique flavor combos. It felt like a high end restaurant off the beaten path. Our servers were so helpful and attentive. We had the cheese curds, caprese salad and coconut shrimp. The highlight was the garlic butter served with the warm bread basket. Don’t miss their unique frozen desserts and pastries. We took some back for later

I was visiting friends in Maui from Chicago and this is one of their favorite restaurants. It is now my favorite too! The location is beautiful, food menu and options are amazing. Portion sizes are very generous. Service is fast. Bakery is absolutely yummy. Staff is attentive, warm, and welcoming. Our server Janice clearly enjoyed her job and people. She made us feel like family.

The food is some of the best I have had in this trip, price is reasonable for the quality. If you went to Haleakalā national park, stop by here for lunch. It’s a little bit of the drive from the park, but trust me it’s worth it. The food here is on par to New York City restaurants.

Last night we enjoyed another outstanding dinner at Matteo’s in Wailea! This place never disappoints. The service from Suki was excellent. He was warm and attentive. I began with my favorite blood orange Italian soda and Suki recommended to add fresh mint, which was a delightful touch. We always start with our favorite meatball appetizer, it’s the perfect way to begin the meal. The Cesar salad was fresh and full of flavor. Chicken parm is our go-to entrée, and we love that you can swap out the pasta to suit your taste (a small detail that makes a big difference!). We also ordered our other favorite dish, the baked lasagna. Warning, this dish comes out piping hot and packed with rich, comforting flavors, it’s definitely a dish to enjoy at a mindful pace. Consistently delicious food, great service, and a welcoming atmosphere make Matteo’s a favorite we return to again and again!

Came to make a visit to Matteo Osterio after seeing a clip of Guy Fieri eating here. Ordered Fettuccine frutti di mare squid ink pasta with crab, clams, shrimp, with tomato, garlic, white wine, lobster veloute sauce. Ordered Bolognese which is made with tagliatelle pasta with maui co beef and Italian sausage with tomato and Parmigiano-Reggiano. The fettucine frutti di mare and the bolognese were probably some of the best I have ever had. I know they are known for the Bolognese and lasagna but I highly recommend trying the fettucine frutti di mare if you make a visit here. Also ordered the tiramisu for dessert. The mascarpone cream was a little too sweet for my liking but overall it was a great and to a phenomenal dinner. Reservations are highly recommended. Parking is free and adequate spots located in plaza parking lot.

Brought the whole family out for disappointing, bland pasta. We tried the squid ink pasta, bolognese, and the chicken parm, but the best tasting entree was butter noodles… This was overpriced and a major misstep during our Maui vacation. The chicken was overcooked. The seafood was under-seasoned. The appetizers were fine, but not exceptional. The wait staff and venue are lovely. We just didn’t enjoy any of the food.

This place is a gem! The food was wonderful and if you’re gluten free they offer pasta options. We went on a girls trip and were all impressed! The eggplant appetizer was to die for but everything was soooo good. I am a foodie and I highly recommend!

We had the chance to visit Matteo’s while visiting Maui and it was by far our favorite restaurant of our trip! They have authentic Italian cuisine with a great variety of dishes ranging from pastas to seafood to chicken entrees. They are very celiac aware and offer great gluten free options including gluten free bread and most of their dishes can be made gluten free. Service was great and food came out very fast and was delicious. They have a wonderful wine selection as well! Beautiful atmosphere with both indoor and outdoor dining areas. Definitely recommended this place!

Wonderful Italian...my favorite restaurant on Maui. Expresso Short Ribs melt in your mouth! Service top notch. Worth the cost. Butternut Sage Butter Ravioli my sister's favorite.

Oh, how the years keep piling on. My gang took me out for my birthday dinner here. It was the first time for all of us and definitely won't be our last. LOCATION: They're within the Wailea Town Center, a small strip mall located behind the new Residence Inn Marriott. Parking at night was plentiful due to the other businesses being closed. ATMOSPHERE: They've done a great job with transforming the space into a very warm, inviting and chic eatery. Seating is a mix of in and out, with a small bar, all-glass wine "cellar" and open-view kitchen. MENU: Italian fare including apps, salads, pastas, pizzas, fish, steak, kids menu, happy hour. BEVERAGE: Sicilian Rose This Ketel One martini included prosecco which gave it a nice fizz and sweetened with a white peach nectar. Absolutely delish. So much so, I had four of them!? Or was it five? I wasn't driving so I didn't care, lol! FOOD: House Bread My dislike for focaccia is slowly fading as I loved this. Instead of butter, it came with a healthier hummus spread. Caesar Salad The chunky-cut Romaine leaves were fresh and well-coated in a creamy-tangy caesar dressing and sprinkled with shaved parmesan. Very good version. Bruschetta Al Tonno Because we were a party of four, we added an additional bruschetta so we could each have one. The raw ahi was utmost fresh and teamed with a mix of fresh tomatoes, salty capers, garlic and basil. Crunchy, savory, sweet; the best of three worlds. Bruschetta slices were a bit small but the wonderful flavors made up for their petiteness. Filetto I was torn between the bolognese pasta and this dish but after seeing pics of this, I was sold due to its mouth-watering dark brown sauce. The tenderloin was amazingly tender. I asked for medium rare but it came out more medium; no biggie. Flavor and moisture were strengths of this dish as it was doused in a savory, dark brown demi mushroom sauce. Total heaven. Stewed cherry tomatoes added a nice acidic balance. I failed to comprehend that the lumpy (a positive to me) mashed potatoes were infused with chunks of gorgonzola cheese, a variety I'm not fond of due to its boldness, and was the only downfall. DESSERT: I was treated to a decadent tiramisu in a cup, topped with a sole birthday candle. So sweet of them! One of my friends opted for the affogato which looked divine and must've been as it was devoured in a snap! SERVICE: Absolutely professional, friendly and took great care of us the entire night. Thank you! OVERALL: I'm being more austere with my five star ratings but Matteo's truly deserves it.

The ube pancakes are a must. We got them two days in a row. Ube pancake with ube syrup made them really tasty. Prices are significantly lower than sit down restaurants and the food quality is the same. We also tried the Deluxe Island Breakfast with Portuguese sausage and potatoes. Excellent food, reasonable prices, beer, drinks, souvenirs, and nicotine products.

I highly recommend stopping by the grocery store if you’re looking for simple souvenirs or basic items. One absolute treat for just five dollars is the pineapple soft-serve Dole Whip—a perfect evening dessert to share while listening to the roosters and enjoying the peaceful scenery.

This place is a daily stop for the guests at the near by hotel. They have food, drinks, snacks, souvenirs all for sale. The banana bread is very tasty. I did not try any of their hot food selection but they offer plenty.

Great grocery store with a drinks counter that has boba and hot food. Came here after hiking the Kapalua Coastal Trail and we availed of the cold drinks they had. We ordered honey green tea and a mango green tea with boba. They have groceries and souvenirs as well; we grabbed some aloe vera for our sunburns. There’s outdoor seating and a parking lot so everything was very convenient.

This is a fantastic all-in-one stop, featuring a grocery store, gift shop, and even a deli for quick bites. The store is well-stocked with essentials, gifts, and fresh deli options, making it perfect for both locals and visitors. It’s clean, organized, and the friendly staff create a welcoming atmosphere, ensuring a pleasant shopping experience.

Ritz Carlton is awesome and food was decent/good but lunch at the poolside cost an arm and a leg! So glad this spot is literally 5 min walk away and the food was delicious and prices comparatively was Heaven on Earth. Life saver! So many choices!

We stopped here to pickup some beach grinds. ATMOSPHERE: If you haven't been here in a while, you definitely need to go back and check them out. They've done yet another re-transformation into ultra modernness. Entry is now from the side along Office Rd. The perimeter still boasts covered outdoor seating with nice views of the green Kapalua Resort. The inside has totally shifted into a very visually-inviting experience and draws you back towards the takeout counter & coffee bar which is reminiscent of a modern city eatery complete with big & bright electronic menu screens. THE STORE: It's a mix of coffee bar, deli, sundries, groceries, produce, clothing, and wine/beer/alcohol. F&B: Coffee bar, breakfast foods, hot dogs, burgers, chicken wings, sandwiches & salads. FOOD: Honolua Swiss Mushroom Burger If this is offered on any menu, I HAVE to try it! This one did not disappoint. I'd consider it a medium-sized burger which was just right for me. The homemade patty was juicy, the bun soft, and the overall flavor delicious. Off to the side were lettuce, tomatoes and a big quartered dill pickle. Fries came with it (a very generous amount no less,) and I opted for seasoned curly fries which shot this sucker to 5 shiny stars. All this for just over $9? Thank you for that. Saimin Not bad at all, and a good portion size to boot. The dark broth had that traditional saimin-flavor of pork and veggies and came loaded with way too much luncheon meat, sliced scrambled eggs and green onions. The noodles were thick and cooked nicely. My only complaint is that it was difficult to spoon the broth from the tall container. In addition to the usual snack items, I also was introduced to Chic Naturals, a local company selling chick peas in a variety of flavors. Maui Onion? Yes please! Tasty and healthy. SERVICE: For deli service, you order and pickup at the counter then pay at the front of the store. The male employee taking orders was friendly and repeated back orders to assure accuracy. The female cashier was friendly and quick. OVERALL: A one-stop-shop for odds and ends complete with a mouth-watering eatery.

I've had the small Taco's, which are actually really good. Surely everyone's taste is different. But this appears to be real good Mexican street Taco's. Ask what they recommend and you'll be delighted. The Taco's are kinda small, but tasteful. It gives you the opportunity to try different ones, rather than having just one. The location directly at the street is okay, but not ideal for small kids. Otherwise, no complaints.

In 2020 this 3 bite street taco was 3 bucks. Today it is 5.50. Shame I don't go every week anymore. Used to be a very busy truck not so much anymore.

So good! I had the shrimp tacos everyone had recommended. Very tasty and such a deal. My daughter's fries were crispy and delicious. And my son's al pastor taco was good. They're very friendly and like to chat with their customers. We also liked the covered eating area as well, a great place to relax in the shade. A great spot for an affordable and tasty meal. Stopped by today for a quick bite. The Cabo shrimp taco was amazing. Lightly battered and topped with coleslaw! Yum! *6/21/24 update* We're back again on Maui, and I had to stop by to get some tacos. They are so good! I got the Baja shrimp tacos, which are lightly battered and topped with little bits of pineapple. My daughter got carne asada tacos. And we also got chips and guacamole. Always love stopping by this place!

Finally tried this place, we were craving taco Tuesday tacos so we decided to give this place a try. I've driven by it so many times I feel bad I hadn't tried it sooner. So good! This place is a true street taco place. Run down tables in a parking lot. No bathrooms but I'm okay with that, if people co.plain about the cleanliness then I dont think they frequent street vendors very often. We ordered up one of each type of taco. Place wasnt super packed but did take 10 minutes to get our first order. I'm alright with waiting but if you go there starving your mouth will water. They had a sauce I dont k how what it is but it's in a big squeeze bottle and it was tasty. Out of all the tacos I liked the chicken and El Pastor the best. The chicken meat was high quality and of all the tacos it was the most packed, definitely a steal for 2 for $5. I plan on going back and giving their quesadillas a try, and slowly go down the board until I've tried everything. It's worth a stop and eat, so glad I finally went here as I ride by it so much. Quick cheap meal! A steal for the price especially here on Maui. I would recommend this for anyone craving tacos.

If you’re currently scanning every taco shop in Maui looking for a reasonable price (for Hawaii), authentic tacos, and good options for dietary restrictions (you have to ask though), just go here.

Tacos were really good. The prices were great too considering the location and proximity to the beach and shopping area. $2 for $5 plus a $2 lemonade, not bad for a lunch. Service was fast and friendly. If you're around go grab some.

Amazing Mexican food. We had pastor tacos and pastor supreme burrito. Both were super delicious. We paid $20 for 2 people and ate nicely. The pastor was juicy and perfectly cooked. Atmosphere is also pretty good with nice Mexican music playing in the background. A cheap, delicious and clean food truck.

The food was good but not great. Deep fried spam musubi had a thin sliver of spam and the rest was rice. $31 for garlic noodles with 1 piece of chicken (picture below), way overpriced for the amount of chicken you get. We waited an hour to order and get our food.

I came here based on the reviews. While you do get a lot of food for your money, I’m not sure I’m convinced that it was as great as some of these reviews. We ordered the mixed plate and the loco moco. Both were ok. The mixed plate came with katsu chicken and mahi as well as a piece of chicken thigh and a piece of sliced beef plus rice and mac salad. The loco moco came with a burger patty, egg, topped with sautéed onions, rice and mac and cheese. It’s a very heavy meal. The dishes didn’t have a lot of flavor. Our server was nice and friendly.

Loco Moco was good but not great. Standouts were the fried spam musubi and the guava cheesecake (a must-order. Not overly sweet). Prices for portion size were good. My husband and I split the Loco Moco and had leftovers.

Epic Hawaiian Plate Lunch at Da Kitchen — massive portions, bold flavors, zero regrets! Summary of Experience: My partner and I dropped in at Da Kitchen in Kihei for lunch, craving something local and hearty. We each went for combo/mixed-plate style – I ordered the Chicken Katsu + Kalua Pork combo; my partner got the Mixed Plate (teriyaki chicken, teriyaki beef, chicken katsu, breaded mahi mahi). The restaurant was clean, service friendly, atmosphere relaxed. The food: generous (seriously), full of flavor, a great sampler of Hawaiian classics all in one meal. Overall Opinion & Recommendation: If you’re anywhere near Kihei and want to dive into Hawaiian comfort food, Da Kitchen is absolutely worth your lunch hour (or dinner, for that matter). The food hits the sweet spot between comforting and exciting. The katsu was crispy in all the right ways, the kalua pork tender, smoky, perfect balance of salt without being overwhelming. The mixed plate — you get a little something from each favorite: mahi-mahi brought crisp fish flavor, the teriyaki meats offered sweet/umami uplift, and the chicken katsu brought that crunchy texture. Add rice, macaroni salad etc., and you’ve got a feast. Portions are huge — you might end up taking home leftovers. The vibe: casual Hawaiian plate lunch, no pretenses, just solid local eats. Clean space, good service makes it even better. Recommendation: Highly recommend. Go if you want to try multiple Hawaiian classics in one go, especially if you’re hungry. It’s ideal for sharing, sampling, or just if you want something filling and tasty without fancy fuss. If I come back, I’ll continue trying more combos/mixed plates—this is the kind of spot you visit not just once, but multiple times.

Island salad is my run away favorite here. It’s been a while since I was in Hawaii and had plate lunch. So long ago that prices have ga-gillioned? $35 for the Hawaiian? Sheesh. Used to be plate lunch was the affordable way to eat. Food was good though. Lau lau was good. Kilua pork was salty but delicious. Rice was rice. And a very little itty bitty salmon teaser. Won’t be back but happy we went. Can’t recommend at these prices.

Very tasty und very good welcome to Maui. This was the first restaurant we visited on our stay. The Employee were so nice helped us and recommended the dishes. It sas very tasty and we liked it. So nothing bad to say here.

Garlic Noodles were good. Chicken katsu lacked flavor, Kalbi ribs, korean chicken were mediocre and and the fried musubi was strangely sweet? Mac salad always good. Very busy establishment and the servers worked well.

Lovely atmosphere, delicious fresh food, warm service. You can taste the freshness of vegetables in salad. Some dishes are a little on the salty side, even the fresh bread, but generally very tasty and delicious. Definitely try to sit in the plantation side instead of in the theater. A little pricey for $$ ($115 for lunch for 4), but worth it.

Absolutely fantastic. We only got the small bites and chef's plates to share, but we got a lot! The surroundings and decor are also lovely. We'd hiked the sliding sands trail earlier that day and it was good to sit and enjoy the greenery with the food. It was refreshing to find a place that did such good fresh vegetarian food. Neither my husband nor I are veggie. Our server was Daniel and he was very amiable and provided a lot of insight and tips. Would definitely go back if we'd had more time to try the larger dishes.

Such a beautiful place to dine and enjoy the company of my sweetheart ❤ The setting is as amazingly beautiful on a different level, as Mamas Fish House. We ordered one dish each from Bite, Small Plate, Pasta and Entree, all were fabulously delicious, we savored every morsel! Portions are small, so take your time to taste each flavorful bite. We didn't have time to tour the plantation but will definitely return. The grounds are impeccable and quirky fun, there's plentiful parking and immaculately clean restrooms! We made lunch reservations, but it wasn't necessary, they weren't busy at all, but, I would highly recommend reservations for dinner! This is another must do while on Maui.

Had dinner here for my sister in laws wedding reception. The scenery is very pleasant and made for some nice pictures! The food I had was very good and my wife liked her food a lot as well. We all felt that the server was a bit pushy with us on ordering more food or drinks and was a bit of a turn off. I had said I was good with just ice water and got asked a couple times if I wanted a drink, seemed to be frustrated with people when they didn't want to look at a desert menu because we were all so stuffed. I'm not sure if this is restaurant policy or what but just seemed like it could be cut back a bit.

Outstanding location and exquisite food. Look for outdoor seating by the lagoon for the best experience. The menu changes daily, and everything is cooked to perfection. I found the sauces to be a little heavy for the fish items - since the fish themselves are so fresh and tasty that they don’t need a sauce really. Also, you must try any vegetable dish, as they are mostly from the estate’s gardens, and so so tasty. The restaurant offers kama’aina discount. Updated: so we were back two years later and the food is still exquisite. Service was a little slow this time, maybe due to a busy Friday evening, but overall a great experience.

Lovely views of the valley and mountains. Large patio with shade. The indoor seating is spacious with large doors that open to the patio. The staff are very friendly and make good recommendations. The ahi nachos, prime rib dip, and hamachi Kama are delicious. The cocktails are also fantastic—interesting flavor profiles and very well balanced. Highly recommend.

The restaurant had a fascinating decor with historical features added into the layout of the dining area. The ambiance was enhanced with the open air setting. The entrees and appetizers were equally beautiful in preparation, however the favor profiles did not match the presentation. The entrees tasted good, but did not have the wow quality that was present in every other aspect of the restaurant.

Dont waste your money. There’s a reason this truck isn’t parked near the other food truck areas. The high reviews for this place are all “local guides”. It’s very basic. No offense. But the “nachos” were just Tostito chips with shredded cheese, warmed up in a microwave. The “smoothies” were those Costco fruit bags dumped in a blender with apple juice. This food truck only had crock-pots and microwaves in the back, no real cooking appliances. That should tell you everything you need to know. I don’t mind spending my money, but this is way over priced for what you get. This isn’t an authentic food truck. It’s a truck that sells food.

The food was absolutely delicious! The portions were very generous, and the service was excellent — everyone was so kind and welcoming. I’ll definitely be coming back!

Did not expect to find some of the best steak tacos I’ve ever had from a random roadside truck in Hawaii.The steak was so flavorful and tender, like actually juicy, not dry at all. Everything tasted super fresh, and the portions were solid. Honestly, I was just looking for a quick bite and ended up lowkey obsessed. If you see this truck, stop. Seriously. They said their fish tacos were more popular.So I’m def trying next time.As soon as I got my food,the wind blew it from my hand.It’s really nice of them to remake the food for me.The service was 10/10 as well.💕

Stopped here on way back from the point, the fish taco was OK based on where we were and the amenities available to the cook. He gets 5 stars for trying hard and being friendly, but i cant say I'll be rushing back for the food anytime soon

I had the pleasure and the privilege of having one of the best fish taco I’ve ever had. The product wash fresh, mahi mahi, the environment very clean and tidy. There were 2 very cool guys from Argentina. They cooked for us and suggested me some very nice places for snorkeling. One of them was Santiago and the other Vicente. I really recommend the food from there if you really want to taste the local product.

Absolutely not worth it. Nothing against the owner, he was a nice enough guy. The taco salad is not a taco salad, it was chips with black beans that were not cooked and poured straight from the can. The fish tacos were freezing cold as was the burrito. Very poor food quality, Taco Bell is better :/

Love this place, the people that serve the food always give you smile and good energy, there is nothing else around and if you get hungry on your beach day definitely this is the place to go, I personally like the mahi mahi burritos, and the treasure is the desert, wich I didn’t expected at all, brownies with ice cream😎 check on this place!

We wanted a burger tonight and this one looked like the one. So we went. Great little place, off the beaten track but worth the trip. Friendly service and reasonably quick. Excellent value for the money. Now, the burger... Amazing. So glad we came tonight. Burger was a bit messy to eat, the way it should be. Tots and frozen are quite big and easily shared between two people. Would love to come again. Hope we do!

We heard about this place from The Hawaii Vacation Guide blog. Holy smokes! It did not disappoint!! And the prices are some of the lowest we’ve seen on Maui our entire trip! Good portion sizes, too. I ordered easily online (they have pics of most of the menu items) and our order was ready in 20 minutes. The North Shore Shrimp Plate was so good I never wanted it to end. Kids loved the smash burgers! Wish I had taken more pics but if you need affordable delicious takeout food in Kihei, this is your spot!!! The noodles looked amazing—wish I could stay longer and try them!!!

The unchanging food scene in central Maui motivated me to drive to the south side for something new. Havens is Maui's newest eatery, opened by chef Zach Sato, formerly of Merriman's and The Restaurant at Hotel Wailea (the latter being a favorite of mine). ATMOSPHERE: They've taken over the former Suda Store space, sharing the building with the Shell gas station's convenience store. I knew I was in the right place as a five-alarm cloud of burger-grilling smoke punched me in the face as I entered the takeout-only eatery. The place was buzzing, especially due to their short operating hours of 10am - 3pm. MENU: Noodles (saimin, ramen, chow fun), oxtail soup, smash burgers in seven different selections, salad, sushi. FOOD: Deluxe Smash Burger - $9.00 Smash burgers are patties that are literally smashed on the grill to lock in the flavors and moisture, even resulting in an appealing texture. Don't think you're getting a skinny patty as this burger had some major weight to it as I picked it up which was a total surprise to me. The juices from the meat combined with the flavors from the dill pickles, melted American cheese and OG sauce (thousand island-based if I'm not mistaken) was so Haven-ly! Highly recommended! Crinkle Fries - $3.00 Your mainstream, frozen variety. The portion size was big enough for two to share. Tan Tan Ramen - $15.00 Not many places serve this complex broth and Havens hit it outta the park! Thick, creamy, spicy and filling, their version of sesame seed-based broth is very close to the benchmark recipe at Goma Tei Ramen on Oahu. Toppings included pork belly, Chinese broccoli, bamboo, garlic cloves and a "jammy" egg which was more hard-boiled than gooey and the only downfall of the dish. I can't comment on the true texture of the noodles as I had to warm everything up at home. A bit pricey but it's cheaper than flying to Oahu! SERVICE: I was immediately greeted and placed a walk-in order. A short 10-minutes later I had food-in-hand. OVERALL: The drive was totally worth it. Trying the Umami Smash Burger next.

I recently tried the Teppanyaki Style Steak Plate at Havens, featuring a 10 oz Angus New York steak. I asked for the steak to be cooked chef's style, and it was incredibly tender and delicious. The photo I took shows the steak halfway through eating . The vegetables served with it were also great. I first noticed Havens when at the Shell station for a car wash and saw many people ordering food. My decision to come back and try it out was definitely worth it. The meal was enjoyable and felt worth the price. Highly recommend for a satisfying steak meal. Even though it is located at the gas station there is still stool and counter top seating with the ocean visible from a portion. The staff was extremely friendly. Also free refills on soda :-)

Excellent food and service!!! We had the crinkle cut fries, crazy tots, hurricane shrimp, and paniolo smash burgers. Topped off with key lime pie!! We will be back!!

This is a perfectly good burger place, but don’t go with high expectations. I got the breakfast burger. It was well cooked and the bun was soft. It was pretty greasy. I also got the kolohe fries. I’d get them again if I remembered to order them crispy. They were very soft and it quickly turned into a potato salad. Overall, a great burger considering its located in a convenience store.

There's an increasing trend of restaurants finding their homes in gas stations (for whatever reasons I don't know). Yet despite these oddities, the food at these places tends to be outstanding. Havens is no different. We got the Paniolo smash burger and the dry noodle. The smash burger was good - it was quite large and the balance of flavours was well constructed. The dry noodle though is mind-blowing. It's hard to put into words exactly why it's so good. Likely it's a culmination of intense wok-hei (that smoky, wok-seared flavour), a garlic chili oil for the stir fry, an abundance of aromatics and impeccable preparation of each ingredient in the stir fry. The egg strips had an ethereal, bouncy texture akin to that of something between an omelette and a flan. It was so good that we got another plate for the road. And the leftovers were almost as amazing 3 hours in. Just keep in mind that they don't have the noodle dishes in their new Kahului location. If you've read this far, do yourself a favour by paying them a visit. I can assure you that you won't regret it. The dry noodle is stellar and this is up there among the best stir fry noodles from any Asian restaurant I've visited in the past.

The poke nachos were absolutely delicious—fresh, flavorful, and perfectly balanced! What made the experience even better was the super friendly lady who took care of us. She was warm, welcoming, and made us feel right at home. Great food and even better service—definitely coming back!

Portions are HUGE and can be shared by two, but the poke tasted great. It is a food truck in a nice food truck park with a lot of tables. No service. If you are coming from the mainland do not expect a million toppings with the poke and served in a bowl form. It is what you see in the picture and the rice is a bit dry.

The food was fresh, delicious, and hearty. Enough for a couple of people. #leftovers 💗 The staff were super kind. Food is made to order. And did I mention how kind they are? 🫂 Great find. Will be back.

The best poke on the whole island, no doubt ❤️ You can choose your seasoning and the portion is really big. The truck changed its location but (luckily) we managed 🙂 Highly recommended!

That poke was something else. The freshness of the fish and the flavours were incredible. I’ll be dreaming of this poke until I return. The person who served me was so lovely. Mahalo!

Ordered Poke nachos (wonton crackers yum!), Hawaiian style poke bowl, hurricane fried poke, and crispy taco side (left to right in pictures). ‘Mini’ portion entrees subbed with salad and minimal rice since we wouldn’t be able to finish the regular large portions. Everything was delicious and kids also enjoyed it! Wish I could have ordered more to try. Only regret was not finding this place sooner—came on our last day of our trip. Parking available and porta-potty in the back—plan accordingly if you have small kids. Definitely would come back in the future.

My first poke while visiting Maui and it did not disappoint! Got the Hawaiian and was thrilled to find watercress in the mix. Covered table seating and several other food trucks around it to choose dessert, drinks and more from. Very tasty, worth it!

Really good burgers. Home made and hard to find here on Maui. Seems expensive but once you compare the view and laid back ambiance it proves to be a moderately priced affair. The restaurant is attached to the golf course clubhouse.

Not good anymore. I was excited to come back here as I really enjoyed my last experience 4 years ago when I got the lobster ravioli. We even did our office Christmas party here one year. Service and food were great, awesome views, great atmosphere. Now it's a bar with burger and sandwich menu with excessively loud live band. Wasn't my scene or what I was expecting. Bar was busy and was outdoor dancing area. Most people around 50+. Service was the worst I've experienced ever. We called to make reservations for a dinner meeting. Took 10 minutes for anyone to show up to seat us then told us to grab a table. Inside was super warm but all outdoor tables were full. We grabbed a table inside by patio door but band started and it was so loud we couldn't hear each other. So we moved ourselves. We were all sweating and I kept apologizing to our company. Finally I opened the sliding door to get some relief from the intense heat. No one came to serve us for 15 minutes. Gave us a menu then took it away and said it was only happy hour. Then gave menu back but never returned to take our order. Eventually after waiting 20 minutes I went to the bar to put in our dinner order as it was obvious she wasn't coming to get our order. When food came no napkins or silverware and order was wrong. The most inept and slow service I've ever experienced. Food is subpar burgers and sandwiches. This used to be a great restaurant with an awesome menu.

Kono's on the Green was recommended to us by a friend who is a local chef and it did not disappoint. Our waiter was great, and we even got to meet with Chef Kono himself. The food and presentation were excellent. We would definitely go again. I am so glad that we took the recommendation. It was definitely worth it.

After slipping on water on the floor thew waitress were very rude. Our drinks were warm and watered down. The waitress we had ignored us and after waiting 2 and a half hours for 2 burgers and some fish tacos they came out cold and my breaded fish tacos were uncooked and cold. I was very let down because this was our farewell dinner and it was ruined. The music was great 👌

We arrived minutes after a large party (Christmas Party) and the waitress quickly took our order before the big group. Excellent service. One of the best burgers I’ve ever had and I look forward to the next one.

I hate leaving negative reviews but they left me no choice. We had a reservation for our group of 18 people to celebrate a wedding and we weren't the only large group so they should have staffed appropriately. We were there for almost 4 hours! There was even a party of 6-8 that got seated after us who was served and out the door before us. We also had a large group of kids aged 3-12 so we asked to get their orders first but it still took about 1.5 hours before their food arrived. They didn't even get all the kids orders out at the same time and at least one of the kids orders was wrong. It took forever for the bread to come out and when it did, we devoured it because we were so hungry. The waitress hardly came around to check on us so we were constantly left with empty drinks and bread bowls. The only good thing were the drinks which were strong and well made. I tipped the bartender generously! We even asked the manager at least two times while we waited for the adult meals and she brushed us off saying that the food is coming. 30 minutes later, we bugged her again only to get the same answer. When the food did finally come, it was either cold or undercooked or underseasoned. Definitely not worth the wait and the waitstaff seemed offended every time we asked for something. I did ask the manager to come to our table at the end of our meal and she started off telling us that we would get 25% off our meals for the slow service. I told her that it was more than the slow service as the food quality was very poor but we ate it because we were too hungry to care. I would have left if it wasn't for us trying to celebrate a special occasion and everyone would still be hungry. She apologized and offered us free dessert and coffee which some of our party took advantage of. The people that ordered dessert were happy with that part of their meal. At least the kids got free ice cream but that still took about 45 minutes for them to scoop it out of the freezer. If I had known it would take that long to get a scoop of ice cream, I would have asked them to bring it out so we could dish it out ourselves. Of course, since we were a big party there was an automatic 18% gratuity added on so that 25% discount wasn't that much of a discount after all. We all left pretty disgusted by the whole experience. That is saying a lot since most of our group has a very high tolerance for poor service.

My wife and I went to dinner here a few weeks ago, and we had an excellent dining experience. The decor and service were both great. But, the food and the sunset were amazing. I would highly recommend Kono's, and I can't wait to go back.

I really enjoyed the atmosphere of Fleetwood’s! Our server was fantastic and really helped us pick out the best items on the menu based on our preferences. If you catch some of the live music, it’s really great too. The food was decent, I enjoyed the seafood linguine but I do think it is an expensive place to dine. This is a great spot for a fun and memorable night in Maui, and I would recommend it if you want to treat yourself or your loved ones.

Went for happy hour. Multiple sequential host stand checkin steps, but was seated without in due delay. Happy hour drink pricing was excellent. We sat outside but under shade. Food came out quickly. We would go back. Be sure to make reservation in advance.

Killer spot. Excellent venue, incredible food. We didn’t have a reservation and waited 1 hour. Lots of bars within walking distance so no big deal. I ordered the roast chicken which was so moist! My partner ordered some fish dish which he enjoyed.

We had a phenomenal date night here. We came on Valentine’s Day, and had a reservation on the rooftop. Because of poor weather, there was no live music outside. Our waitress, Monica, was so amazing and found us a table inside so we could have our dessert with the music inside. I would absolutely come back!

Oh my gosh! Some of the best food I've ever tasted came from this restaurant. We made a reservation for happy hour and sat on the rooftop bar. Such a beautiful view and limited happy hour selection was perfect! The Fleetwood Mac n Cheese is to die for. The shrimp and oysters were delicious!! So glad we were able to get reservations!

Where to start? Had a wonderful experience celebrating our wedding anniversary dinner! Alissa our server was so nice, sweet and very efficient. Made an online reservation 1 month in advance for rooftop dining through opentable. Got in around 5:45 pm for the nighttime ceremony. They gave us complimentary glasses of champagne and a Happy Anniversary card. We had the chefs special for the night, which is shared by 2 people. It was a surf and turf special beef wellington wrapped in prosciutto, lobster, scallop, prawns with mashed potato and brussels sprouts. We also had a crab cake appetizers and drinks. Everything was on point from the ambiance, food and great customer service. I definitely recommend this place. They make you feel special.

Just had the most amazing dinner. Our server Travis and manager Brandy were great when they found out the original server had not come to our table for 15 minutes after being seated. Their customer service was outstanding! The food was very well prepared. Travis recommended the monchong and it was so tasty. My wife had the prawns and she adored them. One surprise-there is a bagpiper that plays for 20 minutes starting around 6pm. Very entertaining and he was the icing on top. Great experience and will cherish the memory of our meal!

Very nice experience. The food was incredibly flavorful, the ambiance was classy. We enjoyed the excellent wagyu ravioli with the warm fresh bread. The French onion soup and seafood chowder were great. We split the daily special Opakapaka with amazing risotto. They notified us of the extra charge to split and we were happy with did it when we saw how beautifully it was plated. Every dish was super rich and delicious. A very nice touch when they brought my husband a birthday card, dessert and took our photo. I read reviews of how incredible service was, so I think I was expecting a lot. While our server was friendly, we didn’t find it very attentive. It was busy, so I understand he had his hands full. It was a lovely fine dining experience!

An absolute must-visit fine dining restaurant. If you are in Maui, you must dine here. The atmosphere is inviting and intimate. The staff is knowledgeable of the entire menu and very polite. Their wine list is second to none. They have their own sommelier who procures vino from around the world, so you have a tremendous amount of bottled options ranging from $60 per bottle to over $10K. They have many gluten-free options or can make some options gluten-free with a chefs tweak here or there. The bowl of fish chowder was to die for and is a must-try. Lastly, the owner will stop by and introduce himself and chat with you. He provides the highest level of concierge service, which, besides the amazing food and atmosphere, is why this place consistently ranks among the very, very best in the world and deserves the reputation it has most assuredly earned.

Honestly, best service we have had in a very long time. Thank you Lisa and Eric for being so attentive. The little special touches go a long way in our book. The food matched the service and was spectacular. We were celebrating our anniversary and they took a picture of us, gave us a card, and a desert. My husband is Gluten Free and they paid very special attention to his dietary restrictions. They made sure he could still try the seafood special of the day and dessert. Even the doggy bag hanger was a nice touch.

Excellent dinner. The food was amazing. Everything sounded great so it was hard to decide what to get. The drinks we got were delicious too. The staff was very friendly and helpful. We definitely will be coming back next time we’re in Maui. This was the best meal we had on the island. Everything we got was phenomenal. The owner of the restaurant even came around and thanked us for dining there. Great experience all around.

Had a wonderful experience. Food was excellent. Service was exceptional! Only thing I didn’t really care for was the fish chowder. We really enjoyed the bufala tomato salad. Although it’s a bit pricey for what you get but it’s worth a try. The Osso Buco tasted amazing and they leave the bone marrow intact. Seared Ahi Tuna was cooked perfectly. The flavor is well balanced.

Absolutely phenomenal food and was one of the highlights of our trip. I went with my fiance for an anniversary dinner and had incredible service and complimentary dessert. Highly recommend the rack of lamb and the steak. The soups were fantastic as well. Make sure to reserve in advance because it's all worth it!

We went there to celebrate both of my parents’ 60th birthday. It was a phenomenal place! From the tequila shrimp to the slow braised boneless short ribs to the mushroom ravioli to the salmon filet, all of it was incredibly delicious and flavorful! They even surprised us with birthday cards and a beautiful dessert. Our server Mike was very friendly and knowledgeable about the menu! Overall, we all had a great experience!

Cafe O’Lei in Kihei is such a gem! We stopped in for lunch and left completely satisfied. I ordered the steak tip sandwich, and let me tell you — the fries were absolute perfection. Crispy, golden, and somehow stayed crunchy until the very last bite (seriously, how do they do that?). The sandwich itself was solid — juicy steak tips, melty cheese, and a horseradish aioli that added just the right amount of zing. I only wish it had a little more heat, but that’s just the spice-lover in me talking. The bread had a slightly bitter aftertaste, but it was still hearty enough to hold everything together without falling apart — points for that. My partner went for the fish of the day, which was fresh, perfectly cooked, and had that just-caught Hawaiian flavor you can’t fake. The sides were just as thoughtfully prepared, and everything on the plate felt fresh and well-balanced. On top of that, the service was genuinely amazing — warm, friendly, and attentive without hovering. The place is spotless, too, which always makes me feel like the kitchen is running just as smoothly as the dining room. If you’re in Kihei and looking for a spot with great food, super clean vibes, and service that makes you feel taken care of, this is a must-try. Pro tip: get the steak tip sandwich and a side of fries, and don’t be afraid to ask for extra aioli — you’ll thank me later.

Make a reservation! This is a highly popular restaurant any night of the week and it’s worth it to plan ahead. Everyone comes here for the Maui Onion Soup En Croute and they are right to do so. Cooked in a wood fire oven and delivered fresh and hot to your table. Delicious drinks made expertly, friendly and professional staff, chill and beautiful atmosphere. We ended up staying for a full meal instead of our original plan for soup and a cocktail. Everything was delectable. Make sure to make time to catch the sunset on Kihei beach before dinner.

This restaurant is located in the center Kihei and is an excellent restaurant for local dishes and flavors. It has a casual atmosphere with comfortable tables. The staff is friendly and very efficient. The food is excellent, on par with popular fine dining restaurants. It's known for its mahi mahi. Anything you order will be delicious. Large windows surround the Hawaiian themed dining room. A full bar and counter anchor the center of the dining room.

It is a truly extraordinary experience where you get to know your food: especially as a newbie on Maui! Funny and knowledgeable waiter - a true slam poet! Mahi Mahi fish blackened or as fish and chips are tasty with perfect batter and crunchy French fries. But when it is on the menu, you have to have the Ono fish with Cocos curry on rice. And try Hale Kapena and Maui wowie! And when you still have place in your happy belly try the deserts! We will be back!! Slam poetry of the day: „the ocean is our cooler, the mountains are our ice house“.

It was our last day in Maui and we decided to have dinner in here. After couple of the bad experiences with the food and mostly customer service we didn’t expect anything miraculous, but everything starting with the wonderful hostess, bartender and ending with the marvellous food and cocktails - was gorgeous!!!Thank you for a wonderful last day on Maui. We really enjoyed each bite and sip!

Fantastic!!! We wandered off the resorts to try something local and this place was in the top favorites! The outside first appears to be less than top quality but once you make it upstairs and into the restaurant ans try the food and drinks, you'll want to go back. Our sever was on top of his game and we can't find one thing to complain about. We'll make this a must go to spot everytime we visit maui.

We made reservations for a party of four and naively requested a table with an ocean view. There’s a thin sliver of an ocean view behind the high rise resorts located across the street. The service was rushed. If they had not tried to rush us…. we would have been able to enjoy ourselves. Overall we had less than an hour for dinner. The cocktails were alright. Our appetizers were delicious. If the food had been hot (not room temperature) it would have been good. Overall we were disappointed.

This is a great place for a bite to eat or some good drinks. I had the garlic friend lo mein and added some grilled chicken to it. That meal was amazing and just the right amount. My wife had the hurricane fries which were also very good and spicy. Our server was super attentive. It was a little pricey but everything is on Maui. But the food was worth every penny. None of us had any complaints. Highly recommend this place.

We had seen this place on an episode of Diners, Drive Ins & Dives and when we were looking for a lunch spot today we thought we would drive to Kihei and try it! It absolutely did NOT disappoint!! It was very easy for us to get a lovely shaded table on the patio. Our waiter Daniel was fantastic! We decided to go with three of the shared plates…Bacon fried Brussel Sprouts, garlic fried noodles, and crispy pork belly. The pork belly was so good and gone so fast that we ordered another one so that we could take a picture of it! It was definitely the first place winner…the chili gastrique and the papaya salad completely balanced off the richness of the pork belly! The garlic noodles were epic…these are the kind of noodles that you could just eat every day and never get tired of! The brussel sprouts were scrumptious! Even if you don’t like Brussel Sprouts, you will love these!! Great dishes and a total flavour bomb of yumminess!! Definitely going back again before we leave for Canada again!

Overall food was ok, however food trucks next door offer way better quantity and taste. Fish tacos were extremely spicy with no flavor. Hawaiian fish dish had awesome sauce, but fish was overcooked .

We had a great experience at Three’s Bar & Grill in Kihei! The food was delicious, and the mimosas were absolutely refreshing. It’s a very kid-friendly spot, which made our family brunch so easy and enjoyable. We loved the volcano photos on the walls—they add such a fun local vibe to the place. We actually found out about it through the PacWhale Foundation, which offers a 20% discount—so glad we decided to stop by! A special shoutout to the staff, who were so kind and generous. I accidentally left my bag behind, and when I returned later, they had kept it safely for me. Truly thoughtful people who made our visit even better. Highly recommend for families or anyone looking for great food, friendly service, and a relaxed Maui atmosphere. 🌺🍹

My wife and I recently had the pleasure of dining at Three’s Bar & Grill, and the experience was nothing short of wonderful. From the moment we walked in, the warm, inviting ambiance set the tone for a special evening. We decided to splurge a little and try the lobster — and let me tell you, it exceeded all expectations. The lobster was cooked to perfection: tender, juicy, and bursting with flavor. The presentation was elegant, and it was clear that real care was taken in its preparation. But a great dish is only half the story — the service made the night truly memorable. Maria was our server, and she was absolutely outstanding. She was attentive without being overbearing, knowledgeable about the menu, and genuinely seemed to enjoy ensuring our experience was top-notch. Her friendly demeanor and professional touch elevated the evening. The menu at Three’s is impressively diverse, with something to appeal to many tastes. From fresh seafood to hearty mains, and a wide selection of beverages (including cocktails, wines, and artisanal drinks), you’re spoiled for choice. We spent quite a while just browsing the menu — which is always a good sign. The atmosphere is cozy and comfortable, striking a nice balance between casual and relaxed. Soft lighting, tasteful decor, and a pleasant level of background music all contributed to an environment where you can enjoy both conversation and your meal without distractions. All told, we left feeling delighted and looking forward to returning. Three’s Bar & Grill offers outstanding food, top-tier service (thanks again, Maria!), and a warm, inviting vibe. Highly recommended for a romantic dinner, special occasion, or just a night out to treat yourself.

Our last night of a two-week trip was spent here. The kids were left at the condo so we could have a date night. Our only regret was that we couldn't go back. Honestly, we would have gone every other night for apps. I was a professional chef for 10 years, we ate all over Maui, and this place was by far the best. And the prices were very reasonable. We will definitely be back next time on the first day of our trip!

From the reviews ,we decided to try this restaurant . We ordered some of the food on the menu that were mentionned ( *Guy Fieri from the Food network show DDD) : crispy pork belly ( tasty) , Ginger crusted hawaïan Fish ( it was blue marlin that night and was delicious) and Chimichurri grilled salmon ( husband said it was ok ) .Over all , service was good and I guess it depend on what you choose on the menu . We had a coupon for 20% from Snorkle Store 👍🏻

Chris and Eric (bartenders) were incredible! They truly made our night with their stories, jokes, and recommendations. We really felt at home. Could not have asked for a better duo at the bar that night. Thanks guys!

This restaurant delivers an unforgettable dining experience, with truly unique dishes that showcase exceptional creativity. Every pairing on the menu, like the brulee with port wine, is thoughtfully curated and absolutely delightful. Trust the chef—there’s no need for modifications, as each dish is crafted to perfection. If you're looking for a place that knows exactly how to balance flavor, artistry, and innovation, this is it.

Nick's Fish Restaurant provided the perfect backdrop for our anniversary celebration. We were so happy with our experience! The atmosphere was lovely, and we were seated at a fantastic table. The service was outstanding; our server was attentive, knowledgeable, and made us feel truly special throughout the evening. And the food! Everything we ordered was fresh, expertly prepared, and delicious. The 'Diver Scallop & Shrimp Scampi' and 'Moroccan Spiced Salmon' were a highlight. Not to forget the Crème Brûlée! Overall, we had an awesome anniversary night thanks to the wonderful staff, great food, and beautiful setting. A five-star dining experience we wholeheartedly recommend for any special occasion.

Excellent seafood and even the Filet Mignon was great. The steak had great flavor and was very tender. Staff had no issues substituting side dishes. The atmosphere is great and most seats have a view of the pool area and ocean.

I would say I’m a little disappointed in this place based on how much the bill was. The lamb chops were absolutely phenomenal, however, the filet was a little disappointing. The filet was a bit dry and simply nothing special. Also, the service was a bit too slow for my tastes. It was around 15 mins after we were seated that our server came over to greet us and there was a noticeable wait for food and drinks to arrive at the table. It’s not our servers fault as it seemed that he was running around all night with all of his different tables. But my last impression of this place was their macadamia nut brownie sunday and let me tell you that it made it all worth it!

By far my favorite restaurant I have eaten at in Maui. The views were impeccable, the food delicious and the service on point. Drinks were great as well. Highly recommend!!

My husband and I came to Nick's twice on our Trip to Maui. Everything we ordered was great - Mahi Mahi, waygu beef, crab cakes, potstickers. The first night, our server forgot us a few times, but the second time we went, our server was amazing. She took the time to chat with us and recommended some great spots on the Island (I think her name was Kiara). Would recommend!

Seriously not worth the hype & wait!! This restaurant came well recommended in many social media platforms and reviews and SO….we went & were very excited but was very disappointed. Restaurant is mostly open air & most shaded areas were full that day. Despite telling my host that we would like a more shaded seating area away from the sun, he left us at a seat sun tanning under the sun when there were still some sheltered seats inside the building. We had to move ourselves to find a better shaded seat. We tried the Lobster & Crab Stuffed Grilled Cheese that everybody was raving about & I don’t understand why it has such good reviews. The bread was good, creamy sauce was okay but where is the lobster & crab? I can barely see or taste it! Fish & Chips was fresh but the batter was so poorly made, they were thick and soft. Chips were okay but we were not there for the chips. Lastly, we had the Crispy Coconut Shrimp which was nothing to shout about. Shrimp was fresh but small & it doesn't have the fragrant coconut crispy batter that I have tasted in other places & it was over-powered by the sweet Thai chili & mango salsa. Overall, Down the Hatch didn’t deliver & I will gladly bring my money elsewhere with better service & food anytime. Don't waste your time!

Our group had lunch at Down the Hatch - Maui one afternoon after doing a submarine tour in the area. We saw an order of the Lobster & Crab Stuffed Grilled Cheese going to anther table and knew we had to try it.. and we're so glad we did! It was so very tasty! We also ordered the shrimp tacos, calamari, loaded fries and bacon brussel sprouts.. everything was delicious! Even though it was a hot afternoon, we found a table in the shade overlooking the koi fish pond.. and had the best time!

Times Visited: 1 I came for the fish tacos and they did not disappoint! Crispy, with some really excellent 'melt in your mouth' fish, topped with a bunch of awesome ingredients made for really delightful fish tacos. Probably the best I've ever had! Though there is a part of me that thinks the ingredient ratio is a bit off... Tacos kept leaking ingredients when I would take a bite. But overall, excellent. I am mildly disappointed with the chips and salsa... Chips aren't much to write home about, they're quite hard and while they might be made fresh, they definitely weren't hot when they came to me so that magic is kind of lost. The salsa is also not much to write home about, and desperately needs a change to make the flavor a bit more BOLD. It's such a weak flavor it's hard to notice what it's even made of. But I'm glad it's included with the meal, and would rather have free weak chips and salsa rather than no free side. The Coconut Crystal Shrimp appetizer though? Heavenly PERFECTION. They could not have made a more perfect dish. Sweet, sour, fresh, fruity, tangy, crunchy... Excellent. No notes on that! The staff were helpful, and I liked how hands off the experience was, just ordering from the front (and thank goodness, you can get your own unlimited soda refills), and while the atmosphere was maybe a notch or two too loud, I like how it was a local musician and I'm overall happy with the experience.

I went there fully expecting a tourist trap. NOT! Phenomenal food, very friendly servers, helpful order taker, great vibes, pleasant live music, prompt service. Prices were right and did I say the food was awesome! A “must do” in Maui. Lava lava shrimp with rice and veggies is fantastic! Tacos were fresh and delicious and so was the sampler. I would encourage them to umph-up their drinks though. Cocktails were weak and left a lot to be desired. Stick to beer and standard stuff and your experience will be perfect!

The line of people waiting says it all 😋 The food was great great. We asked direction to the guy at the information booth and gave us a free lava lava shrimp cocktail ticket 🎟 and that lava shrimp was onolicious. The foods are all so delicious. Price is just right. Service is great as they put us in a lower table because we have a small kid with us. Our server was 👌 awesome.

Arrived at 10:20am. Before the lunch menu switch and I didn’t want to wait so we ordered breakfast. You have to order at the counter and then find a table. We all found suitable items. The women ordered a mimosa flight and enjoyed it to the end. The food came out quick and hot. Everyone finished their plate no problem. Happy hour here starts from 2-5 with entertainment. Definitely work the visit.

A great place for a meal! The food was great. We had the pork and grilled cheese and crab sandwiches. Definitely try the grilled cheese! Plenty of shops to explore after your meal. Update: came back a second time for breakfast. Food is still super delicious! Definitely go for breakfast as well!

First time at Nalu’s .I have been reading about it for years and today we checked it out! We Went for Happy Hour and it was great! The Mai Tai’s for $8 is a great price and you can taste the rum! Really good and a fabulous price! We had the happy hour ahi which was really good and worth $7.00. The calamari was good but probably wouldn’t get it again. The ribs were outstanding but for 3 small pieces for happy hour I would skip the happy hour ribs and go for the full order of ribs with rice, Mac salad and kimchi! We ended up ordering a full rib meal to share after the happy hour order because they are that good! Had two Mai Tai’s each because they are that good and such a great price! Not watered down or weak! Really good! Staff is friendly and attentive! No dishes left on the table and everyone is so friendly!

It was one of the only non-hotel affiliated breakfast places we could find on this side of the island and I'm glad we did. Many great breakfast options. We had the pancakes, french toast, Portuguese sausage side, and vegetarian Benedict between the 3 of us. Everything was very tasty. We liked the open air setup. Would definitely return for another meal.

Nice bar/restaurant located in a shopping center. Line up and preorder your food and a server brings it to your tip. Ate indoors (no air conditioning). There’s outdoor seating. The menu was fairly priced and didn’t seem marked up. We had the crab cakes, chicken and waffles, vegetarian bowl and poke bowl. Everything was decent but nothing to rave about. Looks like a nice spot for happy hour.

Nalu’s is such a unique spot where everything comes together: delicious food, generous portions, fast service, happy hours, and live music. The atmosphere feels both casual and vibrant, making it one of the must-visit places on Maui. A quick tip: check the menu in advance! Here you order and pay first, then grab a table. Don’t be scared off by the long line at the entrance — it moves really fast thanks to this system. Overall: tasty food, great vibes, and a true island experience. Highly recommended!

Nalu’s is one of my go-to spots in Kihei! The staff is always friendly, upbeat, and makes you feel right at home. The location is perfect — easy to get to, with a relaxed open-air vibe that really captures the Maui lifestyle. I stopped in for happy hour and everything was on point. I had the seared ahi, Hawaiian short ribs, and ahi tacos — all absolutely delicious and made with fresh, high-quality ingredients. The portions are generous for the price, and you can really taste the care that goes into their food. Their happy hour is one of the best around — great prices, generous portions, and awesome drinks. The cocktails are fresh, creative, and the perfect pairing to the food and island atmosphere. If you’re looking for a spot that’s got amazing food, great people, and good vibes all around, Nalu’s is it.

Had a great breakfast here. Danny the manager of the day checked in to see if we needed anything. He brought over a small glass so we could try their house made hot sauce. Attentive and friendly service was much appreciated for breakfast. Food was excellent and tasty. We had the French Toast and Three Egg Omelette. Casual family atmosphere at breakfast time. Interesting array of flavored water.

Wow, you know i loved this place as I just spent 45 minutes writing a review and it didnt post. Ugh. Bit You need this one. From the staff to the food Nalu's South Shore Grill is amazing. First off. Here is how it works. You walk up to the hostess and order there. then you will be given and number and you can find your seat. They will bring g you your food order. They have 3 varieties of flavored water. Im not sure if they change but I went with strawberry filled water with fresh berries and mint. Yummy. We went with the grilled cheese and fries with a bowl of fresh fruit for the kid. The apple brie burger with kettle cooked chips perfect blend of savory and seret with a little crisp from the apple, the mahi mahi special with the lilikoi, ginger, caper sauce.... let me tell you this one steals the show. I will attach pics. Beautiful fresh colorful entree with a flavor profile I've seen in high end fine dining restaurants. But at real people prices and fantastic portion size. The sauce was a blend of flavors that take you in a real trip. You will want to go back every chance you can. The rice had some pink ginger on top and the greens had a vinaigretteband it wasnt drowned in it oerfectly done. This dish is a must try. Fish cooked to perfection no "fishy" taste just a perfectly blended medley of deliciousness. We added a beet and goat cheese salad and the surprising addition of pine nuts and some secrets leads me to say that while I've had this salad at many different restaurants this was by far the best I've had to date. EVER. There is a bar with seating and it looked social and fun. It is a safe environment and ladies that is important. Nalu's wins my heart as a musician because they ahve live artists performing nightly and wonderful happy hour specials. This would be a great place on a date or single. Casual seating for the restaurant and kid friendly. The hostess to the servers will make you feel like family. Everything was explained to us newbies and I was impressed with how cheerful and fun everyone was that was on staff. They clearly treat their people well and it shows. I can not wait to go again. We grabbed a couple t shirts on the way out. Plenty of free parking. Casual seating (we had a chicken run through) so cute. No problem hearing each other as we sat and talked avout the insane flavors of the food. The kettle chips... Best ever and clearly made fresh there. Every time my sister turned her head i stole her chips lol. My niece loved her grilled cheese and the child is picky. The fruit bowl was beautiful and fresh fresh fresh. As was every dish. Do yourself a favor and go to Nalu's NOW. Tell them Meek sent you and you need to try the lilikoi fresh fish pronto. Perfect for a date and or family outing.

This was an unforgettable dinner experience, from service to food- everything was of superior quality. Our special occasion, honeymoon, was acknowledged by all staff members which I thought was so sweet. While very expensive, dinner here is a lovely experience. Our server, I believe his name was Shane, was top notch. The food was so good, our steaks were cooked perfectly, and the drinks were absolutely phenomenal. We will always remember our dinner here! Thank you!

My wife and I stayed at the Four Seasons on our honeymoon and were fortunate enough to have a few fantastic restaurants on property, including Duo. We came in later in the night without any reservations and they were very accommodating seating us very quickly. Our server Beau was awesome he was giving us the low down on the menu, what’s popular for food and drink selections. My wife and I got the King Crab legs, Curry, crab cake, oysters, filet with the peppercorn cause (must try), and the catch of the day. He coursed it out perfectly for us to enjoy an unforgettable dining experience. Sitting outside under the patio with the fountains from the pool and the tiki torches setting an unforgettable atmosphere. To top everything off the gave us a chocolate desert to celebrate our special occasion. Thank you Beau and the rest of the staff at Duo, truly at 5 star experience I’d highly recommend stopping in, we will be back next time we’re in Maui!

DUO Steakhouse at the Four Seasons hands down the best restaurant I visited during my trip to Maui. From the food to the views and service, everything was a 10/10 so good I had to come back a second time. To start, I highly recommend the DUO wedge salad great flavor and a perfect appetizer. The crispy Brussels sprouts and roasted mushrooms were also solid sides to share. On my first visit, I had the dry-aged bone-in ribeye (rare). Personally not my type of cut , it was mostly fat and pretty chewy, so not my favorite cut. The wagyu truffle burger was ok. But on my second visit… I had the Australian Wagyu and the Snake River Farms American Wagyu Flat Iron, and both were incredible tender, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. Definitely recommend those if you’re going for steak. Also the Roasted Shallot Jus is a must sauce for the steak. For sides, the garlic truffle fries provably my favorite thing crispy, rich, and great with the steaks. As for dessert, the soufflé cheesecake was my favorite light, fluffy, and just sweet enough. I also tried the Chocolate Macadamia Torte, which was good too, though a bit too chocolatey (if you’re not into rich chocolate, maybe go for something lighter). Overall, DUO is a must-visit if you’re staying in Wailea or nearby. Great food and amazing Four Seasons service. I’ll definitely be back on my next trip.

We ordered the tomahawk which was delicious and cooked to perfection/ seasoned well. The only dissappointment is frozen lobster being used.service is fine dining. Servers attentive. King crab leg was a teaser but yummy and fresh. Spent over 200$ but everything was flavorful woth no issues with meal we ordered.

Duo for our anniversary was an incredible place to dine. The experience starts from the entrance to your exit. Everyone will genuinely greet you. Our waitress was amazing and took excellent care of us without interrupting my wife and my conversations. We had looked at the menu before arriving and had a general idea of what we wanted, but their whisky list was chocked full of unicorns. This gave me a chance to try the Parker series limited release. The bartender and our waitress kindly allowed me to photo the bottle for my tasting list. The food was seasoned well and exquisitely prepared. Beet Carpaccio was flavorful with burrata cheese and candied walnuts. The King crab legs were huge and we could have them warm or cold (we chose cold, but with warm butter), the ribeye and tuna were well seasoned giving them some amazing depth of flavor worthy of any high end restaurant (our compliments to the chef), and desert was special. With most restaurants being of equal billing in the resorts of Wailea, Duo stands out for the highest quality, greatest of service, and worth the expense! We will definitely be back on our next visit

I took breakfast everyday here, DELICIOUS Caramelized Banana French Toast, with eggs and bacon on the side. And you had dinner one night, the food was super good.

I cant say anything bad about this place. I came here to celebrate my honeymoon and the food was amazing and the service was on point, i cant remember my servers name but he was really nice he really made my honeymoon feel very special and if your reading this thanks alot man! My steak was delicious, the dessert everything. Great experience great food and loved the vibe!

Great customer service, enjoyed the stuffed mushroom and calamari for happy hour. ribeye steak cooked to perfection. Gumbo was interesting, definitely not authentic but edible and seasoned like soup.

A high end steakhouse, slightly more casual than other Ruth's Chris on the mainland. Intimate atmosphere. The professional and friendly staff are excellent. The steaks are delicious. Various cuts are prepared to order on extremely hot plates. Aged appropriately and meticulously prepared, they're the best. Side dishes are a large carte. Each are the perfect accompaniment to the entrees. If you're not sure what you'd like, ask your server for suggestions. A full bar area is available. There is plenty of free parking adjacent to the restaurant.

A birthday dinner brought me and my gang to Maui's second Ruth's Chris, located in the Shops at Wailea. BRIEF HISTORY: The original Chris Steak House was founded in 1927 in New Orleans by entrepreneur Chris Matulich. The business was sold to single mother Ruth Fertel in 1965, who had no experience in the steakhouse biz. She was self-taught on the fundamentals of butchery and utilized her brother's restaurant space and family recipes to start up her new venture. After a fire destroyed the original building in 1976, she moved to another location but the sales agreement prevented her from utilizing the same name at a different address, so hence the new name of Ruth's Chris was born. ATMOSPHERE: I'm pretty sure the restaurant had a nice ocean view years ago before an empty parcel that backs up to the restaurant developed a hotel/condo that rudely took away their entire view. The inside is simple yet elegantly decorated. Seating is a mix of low tops and huge booths. The vibe was a bit dreary as the place wasn't that crowded, but we did dine at 8:30pm which could be the reason why. Americans eat so early compared to the rest of the world. MENU: Seafood-based apps, salads, soups, steak, fish, lamb, chicken, shrimp, desserts. FOOD: Escargot Five pieces came to a dish. Not many places on Maui serve this, so when available, I have to order it! Ruth's version was surprisingly good. The shelled snails were moist, buttery, cheesy and served hot. Louisiana Seafood Gumbo Thank you to those who posted pics of this as you're the reason why I ordered it! I absolutely love gumbo and had many-a-bowl in the motherland just last year. If I didn't know better, I'd have thought I was back in Naw'lins. Seriously that good. Savory, flavorful and I didn't share one spoonful! Highly recommended. Petite Filet & Lobster Tail (special) The steak was very good, the lobster tail not so much. It was moist but mushy for the most part. Was it under or over cooked? Old? Should've stuck with shrimp. Baked Potato I'm glad our server informed us that the sides are big enough for two to share. The menu description listed this spud as a whole pound, so my friend and I thankfully split it as it was huge! The potato was done nice and firm, moist and topped generously with cheese, sour cream and bacon (I nixed the chives). Roasted Brussels Sprouts This was a great veggie dish to split between the four of us. The flavors and texture were spot-on. Cremini Mushrooms I'm a mushroom freak and probably could've eaten the whole thing by myself. Whole mushrooms were done in a savory, buttery sauce and went well with everything! SERVICE: Host greeting was immediate and friendly. Jared (2019) took exceptional care of us. He has a great personality and sense of humor that made our evening that much more enjoyable. Thanks! OVERALL: Very good food, sans for my lobster tail. The prices are high but well worth it.

My experience is good because they have a really good service!!! My server was Brian and he is a really good server, no complaints!!!! Fish was good but the steak wasn’t cooked right! Good experience just maybe bad luck with the steak!!!!

This place is expensive, but definitely worth it! It's the best place I've gone to for steak here on Maui. Until my dad and I ate here tonight, I thought I knew a good steak. Thank you for making me realize I've been eating steak wrong for 40+ years. 😂😂😂 The service is excellent, the atmosphere is calm and quiet. It's a dining experience definitely worth the cost! Oh, and a word of advice; when they tell you a side dish/dessert is big, take their word for it. I barely finished my apple pie a la mode! Anyway, go check them out at the Shops At Wailea!

Came here to celebrate my honeymoon and im going to be completely honest. The service was in point, my server was very nice and professional,however the food wasn’t.. i didnt like my steak at all, it literally tasted like the steak from Chilis. I was gonna go to Spago’s at the Four seasons but i didn’t feel like catching an uber out there so ended up here.. they really need to make their food better because they claim to be prime meat but i dont think so. The day before i went to DUO and their steak was excellent. I asked for my steak to be medium rare but they didn’t really know how to cook it. I spent $250 dls and left feeling disappointed because I didn’t think the food was going to be that bad.

At first, this restaurant seemed like a top-tier steakhouse, but it didn’t live up to expectations. Our server, Blaine, was friendly and did his best, but he was clearly overworked, resulting in long wait times and inconsistent service. The appetizers and sides, especially the lamb chops, were excellent. However, the main courses were disappointing. We ordered three medium-well New York strip steaks—all arrived undercooked. Even after sending them back, two were still not right. We ended up cooking them ourselves on the 500-degree plates, but by then, we were already full. To top it off, it took a long time to receive the check. This was our first time leaving a premium steakhouse feeling frustrated and like we overpaid.

Coffee and food were good, service could be better. Our server came to greet us and just said “so guys what’s the plan”, we were a bit confused. The two girls working there were nice, the guy looked a bit out of it, maybe he had a bad day but looked like he did not want to be there. Lemon berry pancakes were good, there is some anise or other spice to it but we have no idea what, he never explained.

We ended up here because the restaurant we wanted to eat at was closed for the day due to a water main break. ATMOSPHERE: It's a nonchalant open air older restaurant. The only view is of Baldwin Avenue and people walking by. MENU: Salads, burgers, American entrees, and fajitas. BEVERAGE: Strawberry Daiquiri Very refreshing, nice thickness and not overly sweet. FOOD: Nachos We added kalua pork to the mix. The chips were mainstream but good, and came topped with black beans, jalapeños, tomatoes, sour cream, guacamole, salsa, and cheese. The kalua pork had a BBQ flavor and was too sweet, which is a total turn off to me. The black beans could've been eliminated as they had a weird, ocean/salty taste that reminded me of opihi (limpets) lol. Pass on this. SERVICE: Our female server was very friendly and professional. OVERALL: Good prices. Some of the other dishes on the menu sound tasty, but I won't be back to try them as nothing really stands out.

Cafe Mambo truly excels. If you're looking for a reliable and enjoyable meal in Paia, Cafe Mambo is an excellent choice. It's a place that clearly prides itself on quality, from cleanliness to cuisine, and it shows. Highly recommended!

My wife and I, came in for dinner and were so pleased we had to leave a review. We ordered the burrata, warm winter salad, half chicken, and kampachi. Everything was delicious and fresh. You can tell the establishment really cares about sourcing good ingredients. Even the cocktails were on point, not too sweet and perfectly strong. Our server was polite and attentive. All in all a great experience, we’ll be back.

Breakfast burrito is the best one I’ve ever had. Recommend adding sausage. We came here twice on our trip to Maui even when we weren’t staying in Paia to get this burrito. The pancakes and strawberry matcha are also delicious.

We had an amazing dinner at Café Mambo! We started with the Burrata, which came with gluten-free bread (they were super accommodating) and a delicious mix of preserved lemons and peppers — so unique and flavorful. For dinner, we ordered the Half Roasted Chicken, Warm Winter Salad, Broccolini, and Potatoes, and had everything served together as one big spread. The chicken was tender with a tasty harissa seasoning, the salad was perfectly balanced with squash, beets, and feta, and both sides were incredible — the broccolini had a nice chili crisp kick, and the potatoes were melt-in-your-mouth soft with a light herb aioli. They also have great mocktails, which is so nice for anyone who doesn’t drink — all super refreshing and thoughtfully made. Service was friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere is classy, modern, and welcoming. Definitely a place we’ll be coming back to!

Café Mambo is a GEM! We stopped in for a quick bite and left completely wowed. The vanilla oat milk latte was the best I’ve ever had—smooth, perfectly balanced, and just the right touch of sweetness. As for the food, we both had the fish sandwich which we thoroughly enjoyed, the fries were crispy, and side salad also delicious. Very friendly servers. Highly recommend! 🌟

We heard so much about this place, but it wasn’t our favorite. We got the poke plate (forgot to get an image) and it was delicious! That being said, we had good poke everywhere! We were recommended to get the fish tacos. There is SO MUCH meat! However, they lacked a lot of flavor unfortunately. Definitely give it a try for the poke, and may the fish was just a bad day :)

The best fish tacos I’ve ever had. They’ve mastered the simplicity of the ingredients and combining them to create a symphony of flavors. The fish was impeccably fresh and it was paired with a slaw, unagi dressing and an aioli. We came back twice! I’d suggest getting here a few hours after open just so there’s time for them to get a groove with the grill. Thank you for this wonderful experience, we look forward to coming back.

South Maui Fish Company is an absolute must-visit! The fish here is incredibly fresh — you can taste the difference in every bite. Everything is cooked to order, hot, flavorful, and bursting with that just-caught quality. The poke is a standout — easily some of the best on the island and a must-try. Friendly service, casual island vibe, and unbeatable freshness make this spot a true Maui gem!

Solid rec from a local and so lucky we did. Nestled inside of a shopping square you’ll find, and I say confidently, the best poke of your like. Went for the traditional poke bowl and wow, was too much food to handle but it was a dish where you could not leave any of it behind. Long lines started to form after our arrival but they’re quick with service and very friendly. As we socialized with other customers they were also recommended by locals of this fantastic spot. Some customers had genius ideas and pairing their bowls with drinks and cocktails from one of the restaurants inside. No matter where you are on the island, it’s a drive you should make.

The best poke bowl from our life! You can see that the fish is so fresh and the combination has a delicious taste. We love it and we recommend this place☀️❤️

Fresh fish with traditional japanese style. Not authentic, but it is classic comfort poke food. Very happy with freshness and size of fish in fish taco. Poke fish was very fresh and yummy also. If you are expecting an authentic poke. This is not the place. But if you are looking for classic yummy poke, this is it!

South Maui Fish Company and Paul delivered one of our favorite Maui experiences we've had. Our idea was to quickly pick up some dinner and make it to Kalama park to watch the sunset. We enjoyed Paul's excitement as he made suggestions for us to eat, convincing us to get the Ahi tacos (Unagi sauce on side), Poke Bowl (both flavors), and a large Smoked Ahi Mac with Unagi sauce (added by suggestion)! Paul had the smart thinking of serving us up the Poke Bowl while we waited for the Tacos to go. The Rice and Coconut Slaw were amazingly supportive sides with what we learned was bigeye Ahi caught nearby. We melted over the taste of each item as we soaked in the best Maui sunset of the week. We came back to the little market after to tell Paul how great it all was and pick up some merch. I'd highly suggest making this a must try when you're in the South Shore.

View and setting was amazing. Service was spotty. Asked for water a few times before getting it. Food was good. Tempura snapper was incredible. I would not get the baked Hawaiian next time. Unlike baked Alaska, the different components of the dessert don't really go well together.

Honestly, we were very surprised by how reasonable this restaurant was for breakfast. We tried to get into another local business but couldn't find parking. Cane and Canoe was right down the road and had plenty of room, complimentary valet parking, and a gorgeous view. It is tricky to find because it's inside the Montage Kapalua Bay resort on their lower level. You'll see signs for "reservations required" but that only applies to dinner service. We were seated right away without delay when we visited for breakfast and only a few tables were occupied when we arrived. It did slowly fill up though as we enjoyed our stay. The food was delicious. You won't be disappointed. Our server was nice enough but at one point all of the staff disappeared for quite a while and it was noticeable. It felt strange for a few moment but when they returned everything was back to normal. Overall a wonderful experience.

Great upscale restaurant in the Montage. Amazing dinner seat views of the ocean and back of the resort. Worth visiting for dinner if you are not staying on site. Great coastline walk from the Kapalua resorts

Gorgeous resteraunt that has indoor and outdoor at the same time. Fantastic service. The scallop on marscapone corn puree was pure bliss. The sweet corn lobster agnoletti was delectable. The filet mignon might have been the best I've had. The crust was amazing and cooked perfect. 48 hour wagyu short rib was packed with flavor and tender. Cocktails on point and the nice birthday dessert was rich and decadent. Worth the trip. Going back for sure.

Had an amazing breakfast here. We have eaten all over the world and this was hands down the best egg free waffle I’ve ever eaten. It was flaky crispy and tasty, not the dense dry waffle normally get when vegan. Literally the best ever. Chef Men is amazing. Our avacado toast was equally amazing, modified for our special diet. Thanks Chef and staff for a great breakfast. Btw, the fruit plate is amazing.

This restaurant turned out to be the culinary highlight of our anniversary trip to Maui. The service, food, and atmosphere were all at the highest level of fine-dining excellence. We were greeted warmly at the reception and, once seated, received outstanding service. The welcome taro bread bites with olive oil, butter, and honey set a perfect tone. Our starters — Ahi poke and octopus — were cooked to perfection, tender and bursting with flavor. For the mains, we had the chicken and the catch of the day — snapper. Both dishes impressed us with their complex textures and beautifully layered flavors, exceeding our expectations. Dessert was a delightful finish: coconut and pineapple creations that were simply amazing. It was pricey, but absolutely worth every dollar.

Simply wow! 1. Our waiter was amazing and genuinely engaged in conversation. His recommendations were spot on. 2. The Cesar Salad was in the top 3 best my wife & I have ever had. 3. Our main course meals were devine; fresh fish of the day and wagu short ribs.

You’re never a stranger once! Stumbled upon this awesome place on accident after a disappointing visit to another reservation and we were hooked the first night! Dominic is awesome! As fellow bartenders who have quite a bit of experience in this industry, we were very impressed! He really made the experience for us (enough to go back every night for the remainder of his shifts) and also made some delicious drinks! We also loved the sesame crusted tuna, all of their food was delicious. Mahalo for the amazing hospitality!!

ATMOSPHERE: P&C is located in the Shops At Wailea in a former sushi restaurant. The look is city eatery; a long dining room with high ceilings, big bar, regular tables & high tops, a second level loft with additional seating or for private parties, and a few outdoor seats in the back of the restaurant but with no view. PARKING: Free. MENU: Craft cocktails, Maui Brewing Company beer, salads, American apps, burgers, sliders, sandwiches, chicken/pork/meat/seafood entrees. FOOD: Garlic Parmesan Fries The hand-cut fries were thin like potato sticks, piled high and dusted with finely shaved parmesan, lots of minced garlic and parsley. It was big enough for the four of us to share. Great flavor. Deviled Eggs The presentation looked a little messy on the plate but tasted really good as they did a twist to the traditional recipe with the addition of a bearnaise sauce poured over the four halves. A little parmesan cheese and bacon bits finished the dish with fresh spinach to the side. Fried Chicken Wings I'll never understand why chicken wings are so pricey. Here, you get 7 wingettes and drummettes for a whopping $22. Was it worth the price? Yes, only because of the amazing flavor! Despite the description stating vinegar, my part Filipino friends insisted they could taste patis (fish sauce). Turns out they were right as we chatted with the chef towards the end of the night. It was a bit spicy, about a 3 on a 5 heat scale, but so delish. Highly recommended for the wing fan. SERVICE: It's a seat yourself kind of place, so I don't think reservations are taken. We were greeted by several staff members as we walked in, and scored a high top table at 7pm on a Friday night. We were given menus within 5 minutes, with our server appearing soon after. She was pretty much on top of everything, knowledgeable, and did a good job checking on us. OVERALL: Small but nice menu, great flavors, nice ambiance. A definite return.

Near the end of our little getaway I was feeling an itch for a pint of Guinness. Didn’t think a brilliant pint was going to be found in Maui but I did a little search anyway and found The Pint & Cork on a Guinness forum. So happy I came in for a visit. The pint was truly wonderful, really well poured for American standard. Really smooth, not overly cold, near 0 bitter factor. Yum yum. Aside from the pints the people here really make this place shine. Our bartender was Dominic, he was absolutely lovely to talk to, wish I had more time, would’ve been awesome to have an even longer chat. He introduced us to Preston whom grew up near where we currently live and that was a true mind blowing moment. This world is much smaller than we anticipate hahaha. My wife has never liked the idea of sitting at the bar but Dominic helped changer her perspective on that with such great service and chat. We shared a burger as well, very tasty but was an after thought compared to the service and pints. Planning to make a few more visits during our next visit. Cheers!

Great dinner spot and worth a visit after an evening of shopping in the mall or a beach day in Wailea. Had the tuna-curry and fish and chips and they don't disappoint! Lots of flavors. Good atmosphere. Would prefer inside. Special thanks to Aaron for the customer service.

Came in for a late afternoon dessert and drinks. Desserts were delicious. Drinks as well. Did have deviled eggs and those were interesting, in a very good way. Caught a photo of the last one ;-)

Having tried all the Mai Tais in the neighbourhood, this place has the best (who would expect that of an Irish theme pub?). If you like Mai Tais made in the Trader Vic style, you'll like their take on it. The people complaining here about the Mai Tais are probably the people who put pineapple juice and Malibu Rum in theirs like at the nearby hotels (make it how you like it, thats fine, there are no laws on this). But these are more true to the Trader Vic style, and they are a great take on it.

This place was great! It was super simple and the food was really good! We went for happy hour and the happy hour menu was perfect! We had the cheeseburger sliders, the Mac and cheese, garlic parm fries, and deviled eggs. I would order everything again! Our waitress was so nice, the drinks hit the spot, and the atmosphere was very lowkey! Would definitely recommend to anyone in the area!

Truly great place for breakfast!! Another guest told us to get the eggs Benedict, glad we did, since they were truly the best we ever had! They prepare them with corn bread, there even is a veggie option available Muffins were great too. Very nice service! There is a calm and comfy place to sit outside with nice live music on the weekends. We loved this place!

Really cute local vibes coffee shop with counter service serving a full breakfast. They have espresso drinks and a case of house made baked goods as well. Breakfast was outstanding. A bit of a wait to get our food out but it was worth it. There is seating inside and on a covered patio. We visited in October around 9 am on a Tuesday and found parking l, stood in line to order for a few minutes and sat at a table right away-it was moderately busy. Definitely recommend this spot for the food and atmosphere!!!

After a morning visit to Haleakala, this spot is a MUST visit. Nonetheless, the drive here is gorgeous which is part of Mauis upcountry area! I think we had a little too much to eat, but I do not regret it. I had the Tropi-Mango Muffin, Ice Coffee, Berry Waffle, and two breakfast dishes that really hit the spot. Please be patient when waiting in line. There a are plenty of tourists and the options of food and delicious sweets make it difficult to decide on what to get. Though I didn't have everything on the menu, I did speak to a local and she told me she visits 1-2 times a week and has had everything on the menu. This speaks volume! Go-go-go! Enjoy and Mahalo for reading this. 🤙🏾

We stopped by after the drive from Haleakalā to get some breakfast. We ordered coffee, some bread pudding, loco moco and Reuben sandwich. It was so warm and filling, just what we needed after a cold walk from Haleakala.

If you're coming down from seeing the Haleakalā sunrise, this is the perfect breakfast stop! There's a bit of a wait, but the food was great. You absolutely must try their bread - it was so yummy!

Ordered iced mocha and a BLT sandwich. Both were very good. Loved the old charm atmosphere. Served organic Maui grown coffee.

Sweet classically dated building with a wonderful staff proud of the delicious food they prepare for their beloved guests who chose to din with them. I had the bullseye. Wow. We had planned to eat at the Kula lodge restaurant which unfortunately recently burned down. We happened on this place and were rewarded for the experience. If you find yourself close stop and enjoy this place.

We had an amazing experience at a taco food truck! The customer service was top-notch, with friendly staff eager to help. The tacos were absolutely delicious, bursting with flavor and made from fresh ingredients. The ambiance was vibrant and inviting, making it a perfect spot to enjoy a meal. Highly recommend this gem for anyone craving tasty tacos and a great atmosphere!

My husband and I were looking for good street tacos in Maui. We found this place on yelp and decided to give it a try. It was 100% worth it! We both got taco plates (me chicken and him pastor) and they were amazing. It was the perfect amount of food and the service was great as well. We highly recommend here!

Everything about this place was awesome, from the friendly people who work there to the fun atmosphere, but the tacos we next level awesome. Of all the places we ate while in Maui, this was one of our favorites. You have to stay the shredded beef tacos, but the fish and chicken tacos were amazing too. And every sauce and salsa we tried from the salsa bar was so good I could drink it. Had to leave a review bc this place was on point.

Absolutely everything you want when you’re craving Mexican food. We got steak burrito, chicken burrito, and shrimp tacos. Shrimp tacos were absolutely delicious, steak burrito was great, didn’t absolutely love the chicken in the burrito (just the texture seemed like boiled or rotisserie style chicken) but other than that everything had great flavor, texture. Love that you can add your own sauces/toppings with the little side bar they had. Very nice staff, great service. Would come back again.

I cannot recommend this place enough. I went to Maui with my husband for our honeymoon and were looking for cheap but good food trucks to try, and Ono Tacos came up. It’s the first restaurant we went to on our honeymoon and we couldnt possibly leave without going back on our last day! My husband even HAD to get a picture with the owner haha The staff were super kind and generous, and the food is amazing. Those burritos and quesadillas did NOT disappoint. Everything tasted so fresh and flavorful! Thank you so much for everything!

We stopped here right after we landed—it’s 5 minutes away from the airport. what a way to start off the trip! got a birria burrito, carne asada taco, shrimp taco, and fish taco. each thing was better than the next—will definitely be coming back!

Always looking for Mexican food wagons wherever I travel. I found Ono Tacos Hawaii to be true to its name! I ordered their Berria beef burrito and it was onolicious. Their bar of house-made salsa sauces was excellent. Staff were friendly and service was prompt. Made my meal experience Broke Da mouth rating! Highly recommended 👌🏾

Got the hot and spicy shrimp plate with extra Mac salad and make it sloppy (sauce all over everything) per a locals recommendation. It was awesome. Flavorful sauce, succulent shrimp, the acidic and spicy sauce complements the Mac salad well. Mopped that plate clean. Sauce so good I was fighting with my husband for the last bits of rice to eat with the sauce.

Unbelievably delicious. Saw them recommended in a tiktok and we happened to be at a nearby beach so decided to pick up some shrimp to go. We got the Hawaiian scampi which was so flavorful and juicy, and the crab pasta salad was so good as well. The lady was really nice who took my order. Next time will try the spicy pineapple for sure. All of the food trucks seemed to be Hawaiian locals and I much prefer supporting local businesses when visiting. Thanks Geste’s you made our day!! :)

Saw this place on Google and looked them up on tiktok. The spicy pineapple shrimp were delicious! Just the right amount of spice to make your mouth tingle. Rice was good. Crab Mac just wasn't for me, but that's because I am used to blue crab on the east coast of U.S. It was $20 for the plate which was a great deal! 12 shrimp! They are de-veined, but not peeled so have some wipes on hand or lots of napkins. Excellent lunch in a great food truck park that has covered tables to protect from the sun. Very clean.

Tried Geste Shrimp Truck with high expectations, and while it was good, I wasn’t exactly blown away. Maybe it’s because I’m an island boy myself and I know my seafood—but the flavor didn’t quite hit the mark for me. I went with the Hawaiian Scampi, and while the shrimp were fresh, the dish was a tad too salty, and the garlic was a little too overpowering. Don’t get me wrong, I’d eat it again if I were in the area, but I wouldn’t go out of my way or rave about it to friends. All in all, worth trying if you’re visiting Maui and want a classic shrimp truck experience—but manage your expectations if you’re used to really great seafood.

I came here because everyone was talking about how awesome the shrimps here are and they are not #1: we ordered a party plate 80$ for shrimps in butter , super salty butter. No rice no nothing. #2: the shrimps were overcooked and hard to chew. #3 we ordered a party trail for multiple people but they are not even giving a plates. If you need one you can buy it for $1 ( insane ). I would not recommend coming here.

We ordered the pineapple spicy shrimp. It was one of our favorite meals we had in Maui. The crab Mac salad was amazing and the shrimp were well cookies and the sauce was amazing.

This place it’s absolutely amazing ❤️the best shrimps I eat in Hawaii🌺and people who works there are so nice❤️Spicy🍍 it’s amazing,I never come back to eat on the same place on holiday but here I was 4 times during one week❤️wish You a lot of good customers because you really deserved it❤️Marta

Was recommended and praised for their espresso Martini from another local shop, so we decided to stop in and try. Wow! They have a very tasty Espresso Martini and we also shared an order of pulled pork loaded Nachos that were also amazing! And on top of that our server was awesome and, we had Monday night Football on!!! High recommend you to stop in.

I loved this place so much. The vibe was great super relaxed. Football was on the TV's. Very comfy chairs that will actually fit your butt. Also the best macha latte I've had on the island so far. Our waitress, Jade, 😍😍😍🖤🖤🖤! Amazing. So nice. So helpful. Just the best. The food was phenomenal. Great breakfast. Just enough to be stuffed. Great variety as well including vegan and gluten free options. It seems they have something going on every night as well! Bingo on Tuesdays, trivia on Wednesdays, and karaoke on Thursdays! So much fun. 🖤

Cool open air bar near the end of the Paia downtown area. Great spot to catch a mainland game. We had the pork nachos. The meat is very sweet and they could be more generous with the toppings. Not very crowded at lunch on a weekday. Perhaps fewer tourists walk down to eat here and stay closer to the center of town?? Large open space with some outdoor seating around the edges. The town is great. There are 2 scooped ice cream shops in town, 1 Gelato spot and 1 shaved ice place. Visited Paia 3 times during our 6 day visit.

After a day at Baldwin beach and being ripped off by an unscrupulous taxi service….my group was hesitant in deciding where to go. After being cursed at crossing the street by some dodgers fan transplant we decided to split groups and come on over here. Due to the groups hesitation..I rallied 3 to come inside this place. Man I was awestruck by the spaciousness of the interior. We had rapid service and waters poured after being parched walking about. Our server was a gentleman from New Jersey originally who treated us kindly and was attentive to our requests. The coffee here was superb along with the varied culinary options offered. I ordered a special pork sandwich with spam that was just the correct amount of heat spice! This place is rocking and the servers were so polite! Staff was welcoming and food scrumptious! I could give 10 stars honestly! Well worth it!

Came here on thursday afternoon with my family. Although they semmed very understaffed our waitress with the short hair was very sweet with my kids and even gave us sightseeing and shopping advice. Made the whole experience 5 stars for us. Food portions were generous and delicious. We will definitely try to come again before we go back home. Would recommend sitting outside on the couches if you can.

Excellent service ! Super friendly and Helpful wait staff! The Aloha was was Appreciated 🌺 Fantastic Bananna bread French toast! The peppered bacon and Loco Moco were Definitely worth a return Trip! Highly recommended 👌

I highly recommend the vegan coconut macadamia latte and vegan bagel: both get 5 stars for taste and effectiveness. The aloha vibes from the staff and environment also get 5 stars. Update: I decided to come back and eat in. Aloha vibes get 2 stars today. No eye contact, drop it off and run attitude. Update again (2025/5/25): My friend Bijou started here--great attitude, great coffee. 5 stars. ^_^

I had the chicken trio. I liked the variety. The mac salad was very good. My wife had the Korean chicken, which was the star of our meals. It was also part of the chicken trio. We also had the fried noodles, which was just fair. Service was great.

This place hands down was amazing. Food was smackin! Service was amazing; auntie made sure everyone got what they needed and checked on us often.

Looking forward to a Hawaaiain based chain we were left disappointed with Zippy’s. Parking was easy as there’s a bunch of spots inside. We opted to order from the register and get our food to sit down. We ordered the ZipPac Deluxe and spaghetti with garlic bread. The ZipPac Deluxe was okay. The fried chicken was not good, very tough. The spam was good, it’s spam so. The fish filet was probably the best part of it to be honest, flaky and tasty. The teriyaki beef was also good. The spaghetti however was not good, it lacked any real flavor. We thought it would be similar to Jollibee spaghetti but it was a far worse version. The garlic bread also was just not good. Maybe it’s this location but by the end of the meal we just felt the whole thing was just meh…

So sorry. Imma big time Zippy’s fan. For so long. But maybe I built it up too high in my head, or maybe this place just not good. But so average at best. Of source easy to find park. Right in front no problem. But the table service line too long so we go udda side to counter order. Very fast here! Pass by all the yummy baked items but didn’t buy. Zip pack deluxe cuz hungry! Fried chicken kind of dry and bland. Not expected. I think teriyaki beef or Kalbi, not sure. It’s ok but had a weird after taste. Dish cutlet good!! Spam always good!! Mac salad ok. Rice ok. Chili ok. Spaghetti plate bland again. Was’ going on?? And then it was freezing in the self seating area. I mean frozen time. Eh maybe bettuh next time. I no quit on Zippy’s!

Zippy's was a lot better than I expected! Living here for a few years I always wanted to try it out and I finally did. The food tasted good and was hot and made quickly but I got the Korean chicken and it was kind of dry so maybe it was sitting as a ready to order item. I would still eat here again because overall it was really good food

Maui is a beautiful destination with much to offer, but some experiences can be disappointing, especially when it comes to dining. For instance, there are reports of subpar food quality in certain establishments, with diners describing the taste as surprisingly unappetizing. Additionally, service can be a significant issue, with some servers appearing fatigued and uninterested in providing attentive care. It's not uncommon for customers to feel ignored, as their orders may not be taken correctly, and tables often go unchecked throughout the meal. Overall, while Maui has a lot of charm, it's important to choose dining options wisely to avoid a negative experience.

What can I say this place has never disappointed. Good food at a fair price . Today I had the sampler chillie spam beef and some fish over 3 scoops of rice . Made my day after a long flight .out of all the places in Maui different price point and flavor . If you ask me where I want to go it’s this place

ABC Store's fancy schmancy location is at The Shops of Wailea at the north end. ATMOSPHERE: The store is clean and organized. It's like a supermarket and sundry store in one, selling all the usual groceries including snacks, drinks, clothing, beer, wines, and liquors. They also sport a fresh meat & seafood department with a butcher, fresh sushi that's made in-house, a coffee bar, and a small gelato bar. Of course my favorite is the deli that sells sandwiches, burgers, donburi bowls, and even local-style bento lunches. FOOD: Swiss Mushroom Burger IMO, the best version on the rock. Everything was moist and juicy; the bun, grilled onions & mushrooms, the patty... Melt in your mouth goodness. And mayo was already spread on the bun... Yes! Are they mind readers?? I asked for curly fries but ended up with thick-cut ones, which were still good. I asked for no veggies except for a pickle but received tomatoes and lettuce. It's a good sized burger for the price. Grab lots of napkins because you're gonna need them! Holla! Bowtie Chicken Caesar Pack These delicious little bundles of joy are stocked in the refrige below the deli counter. Bowtie pasta tossed with black olives, sliced chicken breast, and parmesan cheese in a creamy caesar dressing with a tease of shredded romaine on top. The perfect app and affordable. SERVICE: Everyone was friendly, helpful, greets and thanks you. The deli girls taking orders or cooks need to listen and read tickets better. The cashier was super smiley and welcoming. OVERALL: Really good burgers at great prices, excellent service.

Great place for local foods and snacks. However, the poke is very salty. The burger was very dry and kind of thrown together. The Dubai Chocolate Strawberry cup is indulgent (and pricey) - delicious!!

My Uber driver recommended Island Gourmet Market if I was looking for some authentic poke, and to my surprise, this place has a little bit of everything. Is it a gift shop? A supermarket? A mini pharmacy? Yes, to all of the above! It’s truly an amazing one-stop shop. I picked up some souvenirs for my family and grabbed a few breakfast items to take back to my hotel. The market is incredibly clean, with plenty of staff on hand, and there’s just so much to look at and explore. It’s one of those places you could easily spend a lot of time in, enjoying all the different things they have to offer. Definitely worth a stop!

Located at the north end of The Shops of Wailea. Within walking distance of major resorts. Fully handicap accessible. Plenty of free parking in the lot. Friendly and helpful staff. Perfect place for local food, snacks, (adult) drinks, pharmacy and toiletry items, souvenirs. Great poke bowls, sushi rolls, sandwiches and local desserts. Usually the fresh food is discounted in the evenings. Large selection of alcoholic drinks, liquors and cocktails. Significant savings over the high prices resorts charge during your stay - especially for drinks and comfort food. Highly recommended!

This is a review just for the deli section of the store. This is an evolved ABC store, and I wish all ABC stores had the hot food sections like this. The poke was priced decent and we got a poke bowl with an extra container of poke as well. There was a good amount of plate lunches to choose from, and we needed up going with the loco moco which was drenched with gravy. I was told by many others that the breakfast was the best but we didn’t have opportunity to try it out since it stops at 11am and we always came in the afternoon. Be careful when you come during lunch because it’s a crazy mess of a crowd and very overwhelming to someone who is there for the first time. Follow the crowds and the signs so you know where and how to order

So many choices to make for lunches and dinners. The sandwiches are meaty and fresh. There's something here for anyone, and prices are reasonable.

The staff was fairly friendly for a grocery store/market! Love the combination of a food market and gift shop. Super excited about the hello kitty Hawaiian merchandise. The pineapple is amazing and is definitely a must purchase. Was a bit disappointed with my poke only because it was fairly small for the price. The fish was fresh and tasted amazing. If you are getting spicy poke just be prepared the sauce is extremely spicy, more so than I was expecting but that could just be my low spice tolerance! Overall delicious, especially for a grocery store.

The food is good, large portions, a little pricey for a strip center. Nice that they serve breakfast all day. I was very, very full when I left.

Fantastic Mexican food served in a Tex-Mex / SF Mission style. We had a wet Carne Asada Kitchen Sync burrito and a Shredded Beef Kitchen Sync burrito with a side of chips and the roasted salsa. Greeted when we came in, and had a lovely chat with the proprietor. Burritos came out quickly and were delicious. Portion sizes were definitely generous. Maybe a little too much lettuce, and we would have liked the salsa a little chunkier, but this was a great spot to relax and enjoy some quality Mexican fare. Would definitely recommend if you’re looking for something uncomplicated and delicious.

Stopped in here for lunch and was glad I did. The food coming out of the kitchen all looked good and fresh. All items are made to order so you will have a short weight before your food arrives. The service was exceptional. I don't know if it was the owner or not but the woman who helped take my order went above and beyond to answer all my questions and explain some of the menu items so I would get exactly what I was hungry for. I left with more than one meal because everything looked so good that I wanted something to go. The nachos were enough for two, and the chimichanga was crisp and loaded. I was also very impressed with the amount of extras you could add for free. For sure it would be an extra charge at most other places. The atmosphere is decorated in the style you would expect. Overall a Mexican feel but I would say a few touch ups and attention to details could help to bring the place together but definitely nothing that you would care about once your food arrives and get your first taste.

This food was delicious! The pollo asada regular burrito had great flavor and was tender. I would eat here again. We got to the restaurant just before 11 and we're the only people there so we were initially a bit worried that it might not be that good. Shortly after we ordered though the place became packed. We ordered at just the right time as every table was full before we finished eating.

Combo plates are good. Could use more spice and seasoning but they are okay. The burritos are huge but mostly rice & beans, I could only find a few very small piece of steak in it. I almost thought they forgot the steak altogether bc the meat portion was so tiny. I would just stick to a combo plate in the future if I go back.

Really really bad. Not only have they put zero effort into their environment and service but the food itself is horrible. They use microwaves for almost everything and do not listen when you request to not have an allergy item removed. Also, they don’t have any limes. Which is weird for a Mexican place. In my opinion, eating garbage straight out of the can would taste better and probably be healthier for you than this place.

Incredibly underseasoned. Went there with two other people we all got something different took our first bite and just looked at each other in disbelief. No taste. Couldn't find a salt shaker anywhere. Asked for hot sauce. The owner says he doesn't have hot sauces???? No Cholula. No Tabasco. No Tapatio. No hot sauces available at a Mexican restaurant!???. No wonder no one else was there except one other table At peak lunchtime. Not impressed. Only salsa available for purchase???? 🤣😆😏What a joke! We will not be going back!!!'

This is a great little stop coming back from the Twin Falls hike, especially if it’s later in the evening! (The other shave ice place in town closes at 5 pm) We stopped for shave ice but ended up getting some food also. The shave ice with the natural flavors (and dole whip!) was pretty good! Not the best on the island but still a yummy, refreshing treat. My son got one of the regular flavors (grape) and it definitely tasted like a fake syrup. I also got the hurricane poke nachos and they were so good! Definitely could be split between 2 people and there was a good amount of poke for the price. There is free parking around back!

After wrapping up our hike at Twin Falls Trail, we were definitely ready for a good meal—and Tobi’s Poke & Shaved Ice turned out to be the perfect post-hike spot. We were craving something fresh and filling, and this place absolutely hit the spot. I ordered the Tobi’s Poke Plate Tsunami, and wow—every bite was bursting with flavor. The fish was incredibly fresh, the seasoning was spot on, and the portions were generous. You could really tell that quality ingredients and care go into their food. I finished every last bite and was seriously tempted to go back up and order more. The vibe of the place is super chill and casual, which made it a great place to unwind after being out on the trail. Service was quick and friendly too—even though they were fairly busy when we arrived, we got our food in no time. Also, a helpful tip: there’s free customer parking behind the building, which we didn’t realize at first. It’s super convenient and saves you from hunting for street parking. All in all, this was a fantastic find and definitely worth a visit if you’re in the area—especially after a hike or beach day. Fresh, delicious, and satisfying—what more could you ask for

Ended up at Tobi’s three times during my week in Paia. Poke is a must! So so good and very filling- tuna was amazing. I got the Samoa iced coffee a different day per an employee’s recommendation and it was fantastic. My last full day in Paia I got the Kalua pork plate, as well as the High Surf (?) shave ice. The pork was so tender and delicious (also a very filling portion) and the shave ice was the best I’ve ever had. The ice is so smooth and creamy- not like a Kona ice on the mainland. Definitely a must try place! Friendly service, clean.

Sitting outside this establishment as i write this honest review, after seeing tons of reviews and photos of other poke I’m confused with what i was given? Every photo I’ve seen reviews of the rice is far more seasoned and ALOT more poke than what i received, which was about 14 small pieces of poke total which is crazy when i saw how much everyone else got and mainly tons of greens the flavor itself of the poke was good the rice had very little to no seasoning wasn’t great, but definitely not worth $21 i feel like we just got scammed.

One of the best Poke plates in Maui. We got the ahi with Hawaiian sauce. Shaved ice was amazing too.

Super cute place. Great vibe. Super sweet staff. Best shaved ice and dole whip in Paia. They also have poke plates big enough to share. Usually busy because they are so good. Added bonus: woman owned and she named it after her cat. 😻🖤 A must visit in Paia.

Great poke - we ordered the Hawaiian plate, added crispy garlic. Fish was tender, flavors were delicious and balanced. The dressed greens were an awesome part of the plate. Brown rice was dang good too! Three people shared the plate... The workers were busy but polite. Great experience. Ate it too fast to get a photo...

Food is decent but my roll tasted premade and like it was in a cooler which is a no no lol, they brought out my entree before my drinks and appetizers even came out like what? The service was okay expected more for Valentine’s Day but I’m still in Maui so there’s that just stick to the mom and pop stores in the vicinity much better service and fresh food. Great if you just want some drinks just no on the food.

I fell in love with this place. It was an unplanned visit. We had other plans that fell through. We entered the door and KNEW we were where we were supposed to be . Amazing food, AMAZING atmosphere. The live music was just what we needed!!! #Anthony Pfluke can SING, look him up.

The evening ambiance was very enjoyable and soothing. The food was great, specially the O'toro, and I overall had a great experience. It was a tad pricey for the portions delivered, but the food itself was very high quality and savory. Would recommend.

I love the vibe and the music. But I have two complaints: 1. first sit they have was about 7 fit from the restroom and direct view Tom inside the bathroom from the dining table. I asked to move by the fire out side and there is a pathway of people that goes from the parking lot to and apartment behind the restaurant… there a cat that hanging out as well, it doesn’t bother me cause I love cats but some people has allergic reaction to cats. 2. I ordered the guava mojito drink. It was great but the second glass I ordered there was a strong taste of an ashtray, almost if someone through a cigarette bud to the drink. The restaurant is a little pricey .

This place is special. It is so rare to eat somewhere and enjoy every dish. This restaurant did that for me. The flavors were very fresh and unique. A wonderful mix of citrus’s, salts, sweets and hints of spice filled my pallet as i greedily devoured each course. Not once did I feel that a dish could have been done better or in a different way. Even my espresso was good. Top all that off with incredibly friendly service and a price point that’s hard to beat.

I had the crab cake Benedict and every bite was amazing! If I ever went to Maui again, this would be the one place I must go! Do not miss out on this place. Make a reservation in advance in case it's busy. It wasn't too busy the day we went for breakfast. The town of Paia is an awesome little place. Must go.

There was a very limited menu (Covid I guess), just a few hand rolls, cocktails or beer, basically a happy hour menu… The sushi rolls we had were fine and tasty, I think we ordered two pieces of Kampachi for $10, but I felt the place was overpriced and a little weird to find in a chill little town on the coast of Maui. The cocktails were good, overall kinda disappointing.

Yum! We definitely enjoyed our dinner without breaking the breaking the break as much as we could at other places and not sacrificing quality to go somewhere cheaper. Highly recommend the spicy garlic edamame, hamachi jalapeño, big eye with kizami wasabi, umi roll, crunchy tiger roll, Komi Mai roll, and if they have the special with the oysters that start with si- definitely get those. Don’t bother with the oyster shooters or handrolls because we wanted something tiny after everything else and they weren’t as impressive.

Been coming here since back in the day when Andy owned it… back when it was more local secret than local Kihei hot spot. Fast forward to now… still my go-to for sushi and Korean BBQ on Maui. Nothing else comes close. Every plate… dialed. Every bite… worth the drive, even if you’re staying on the complete other side of the island. The fish? Fresh in a way that makes you forget every “fresh” claim you’ve ever heard… The Korean BBQ? Layers of flavor that feel like they’ve been passed down for generations. And the execution… flawless. From the service to the timing to the way each dish lands on the table like it’s meant to be there. You don’t just eat here… you get reminded what great actually tastes like. Isana isn’t trying to please everyone… they’re here to set the standard. And for me, they’ve done it every single time.

We decided to try this restaurant following the reviews.Did not reserve but we were seated quickly by the window where we could see the mountains and end of the sunset . Service was good , we had big eye tuna sashimi , nigiri combo & spider , hamachi rolls . Everything was good but we tought it was pricey for what we ordered and had as good sushi& sashimi in other restaurant in Maui.

We went for my birthday and had a wonderful time. Dinner was great, we shared a soft shell crab roll, fried rice and pork ramen. We had a reservation so that’s why we didn’t have to wait.

An Unforgettable Dinner That Started with Forgotten Photos! We were so engrossed in the incredibly delicious food that we completely forgot to photograph anything... until dessert arrived! And what a dessert it was! Everything was superb, but the crème brûlée was, without exaggeration, the best I've ever tasted.

They have really great food! While staying in Maui ate here twice, their Ube Creme Brulee is excellent!! See attached pic of some of the food.

Would return for delicious fresh sashimi in casual atmosphere! Our server Ben was very friendly and helpful. We had the fresh bluefin sashimi special (not pictured) which was 10/10. Drinks were creative and tasty. Ube crème brûlée is a must! Fairly priced. Thanks!

Good vegan place in Maui.. has a decent size menu but once u have had a few dishes rest of them start tasting the same.. not a bad thing though.. we did their happy hour tacos(one of each), they were good but could do with more sauce as they felt a little dry.. we also did their famous taro burger and roasted cauliflower side for lunch another day.. loved the cauliflower, the burger was decent and filling but again could do with a little more sauce. We also had their avocado cocktail which was so refreshing! And their hot sauce is amazing! Also loved the fact they they are so eco-friendly.. for vegetarians/vegans it was a must try in Maui

Their Taro burger is one of the best burgers I have ever had. This place is a must try, even if you are not a vegan. It’s an experience. They are vegan to the truest sense. They don’t even carry take out boxes and use leaves to pack food. Also, everyone who works here is super nice. No reservations needed, they have indoor as well as outdoor seating and are located in a shopping complex so plenty of parking. They do take a $3 deposit for the mason jars, if you are planning to take out their amazing drinks

This vegan place is absolutely delicious! We had ordered the Buffalo cauliflower and comes with a macadamia nut ranch sauce, the taro root burger, and a slice of mint chocolate pie. All items ordered were also gluten free and so delicious. This place doesn't sacrifice flavor and is consistent throughout each of their dishes. The staff was also nice and there is shaded outdoor seating to enjoy your meal. They are a 0 waste company and give banana leaves to wrap your food in to take leftovers home. This place is great, eat here!

This place has amazing vegan food! The menu is vast and they have some yummy drinks as well- like lavendar lemonade and Thai iced tea. I am not a vegan and enjoyed it a lot. However I will admit, I was hungry a few hours later even though I ate a lot lol. The presentation is thoughtful and the portion sizes are BIG! It’s expensive like everything else in Maui, but one bowl could easily feed two people. Please note that they are waste free so you will not be able to get a takeaway box. If you need one, bring your own. My only complaint is that we were sitting in the outside area with three small children and the rap music they were playing was exceptionally vulgar lol.

For all the folks complaining about food lacking flavor etc, this is coming from an Indian that has spicy or flavorful food all the time. Taro root burger little chewy but fills you up until next 6 hours haha flavorful as well, everything about the burger was fresh and flavorful My husband had a cauliflower bowl and he loved it!!!! Love that they’re a zero waste restaurant and of course like any other restaurant on the island the food is expensive but unfortunately good and fresh food is expensive but keeps you full for a very long time. Coconut water is so fresh and good!!!

It is one of the best places for vegan and vegetarian options. It also offers a gluten-free option. Ordered as follows: Loco Moku - Best, in my opinion Taro Burger - 👌 Raw Pad Thai - 👌 I would strongly recommend this place.

Delicious veggie/vegan food and drink! Even if you are not vegan, the menu is diverse, healthy and very tasty! Helpful and friendly staff… as the menu at first felt abit overwhelming, but after asking what their top sellers were and explaining what food types we enjoy, they made excellent recommendations for us! Reasonable waiting time considering how popular it was when we arrived. Was rather impressed by their sustainability methods. Reusable cloths instead of napkins, use leaves for packaging and do not provide plastic straws. Everything is locally produced as well! We had the Thai tea and lavender lemonade, both refreshing and completely different taste experience. My husband had the kale salad (which was average) and I had the vegan tacos which was a generous portion and delicious! To finish, we had a vegan/gluten free chocolate macaron style looking desert which was very flavourful. Thrilled to have found this healthy hot spot and going to return a few times during our week visiting the island. Hoping the other items I try are equally as good as I have read a handful of negative reviews from other clients, but our recent experience did not reflect what I have come across online. It is abit on the pricier side, however we are personally happy to support a locally run restoraunt and local ethically sourced organic products. Since my original post, we have gone back two more times during our vacation. We had the Loco Moku and BLAT with chocolate chip taro cookie and oatmeal raisin ulu cookies. Everything was delicious yet again! The first time we visited, we didn’t realise they also had cocktails and home made kombuchas. We don’t drink alcohol, however people around us seemed to be enjoying their tropical themed drinks.

Dino made the best gyro my husband Francisco ever had- and my husband is from Queens where there’s so many Greek and Halal spots that serve gyros, so that’s saying a lot! I had Dino’s Crab Cake Sandwich and I give it 11/10 stars. Dino is awesome! Such a cool, kind person to speak with and someone who understands the value of preparing fresh ingredients for a couple extra minutes so the customer gets a healthier and more one-of-a-kind dish.

I stopped by Dino’s Gourmet Burger food truck shortly after arriving in Maui, looking for a quick bite on my way to the hotel. The owner used a bit of persuasion (similar to what I’ve seen in Greece or Turkey with street vendors), and I decided to give it a try since the truck had once been featured in NYT. I ordered the “Maui Big Blue Burger.” It took about 6–8 minutes to prepare. Unfortunately, the experience was disappointing: • The fries were not fresh. • The “fresh” bun tasted stale and had an overwhelming flavor of turmeric that took away from the burger. • The patty itself was tasty, but it was small compared to expectations. While I wanted to give this spot a fair chance, I can’t recommend it. I hope the owner focuses more on consistency and quality rather than just convincing tourists to stop by. Maui has too many great food options to settle for less.

Dino makes you feel so special when you eat here!! His energy and presence is everything. He really puts on a show when he makes the food and I loved every second of it!! Will most definetly be back. 10/10

VIA trainedDino is right! One of rhe best burgers anywhere. Perfectly cooked, served on a custom bun, with a tsaziki buke cheese dressing that has to be home made. Served with fresh cut fries, cant be beat.

Had an amazing experience here right before our flight. The chef/owner was absolutely wonderful and super friendly! The food was even better. I had the Dino Burger was soooo good. American with a Greek twist. Would be a regular if we lived here.

Food is AMAZING and Dino is so friendly. My husband loved the burger (he normally isn't a fan of blue cheese but Dino's is homemade and totally changed his mind. Fish and chips were fresh and outstanding. We will definitely be back!

My wife and I made this our first stop when we arrived in Hawaii for our anniversary. We are glad we did because the food was incredible. She got the fresh fish sandwich with fries. I got the Dino’s deluxe big blue burger. The burger was fantastic. It was thick and juicy. The blue cheese was the best blue cheese I have had on a burger and garlic sauce over the fries and burger made everything taste lighter. I also got the best frappe which was more like a nitro cold brew consistency but was one of the best coffee drinks I have had in a while. My wife was not a big fan of the coffee but she is more of a caramel macchiato person where I prefer straight espresso or cold brew. So the coffee may or may not be your thing based on your tastes.
