Nuka in Haiku offers a cozy, stylish setting with a menu that leans into Japanese classics. While the sushi and rolls were just okay — fresh but not particularly memorable — the meat skewers really stood out. Perfectly grilled and full of flavor, they were a great surprise and easily one of the best parts of the meal. The real highlight, though, was the miso cod - buttery, tender, and deeply satisfying. It alone is worth coming for. Service was solid and the space has a nice ambiance, making it a good choice if you’re in the area and looking for a relaxed dinner with some standout bites.

Delicious sushi spot upcountry. My first time dining at Nuka was outstanding. The highly quality of the fish was noticeable. Everything was fresh and absolutely delicious. We sat at the sushi bar and the sushi chefs were very warm and friendly. The service from our waitress was okay- she wasn’t the friendliest. Our food came out quickly after placing our order which was awesome because we were hungry! We didn’t have a reservation upon arrival and waited about 15 minutes for a party of two. Its indoor dining only and the space is on the smaller side. There is sushi bar seating as well (about 10 spots). We enjoyed the ceviche and mocktails from their evening specials menu, along with the dragonfly roll, maguro nigiri and ahi salad from their regular menu. We’ll definitely be back.

Dined here many many times. The food was always amazing, some of my favorite cocktails, and there has almost always been high quality fish. The waitlist operation is inconvenient, but if you’re willing to get through that then bear in mind you will be treated unkindly by the servers. On multiple occasions I have had horrible service. It’s hard to say how many times i’ve actually enjoyed any service i’ve received here aside from the people that ran the food. Servers are miserable, rude, stuck up, and they do not have any sense of recovery after being rude. It’s unfortunate that I don’t have it in me to leave a bad tip so i’ll always leave 20%, but after my last negative interaction, I will never be returning. It’s unfortunate as the food and drinks are great, sushi chefs are talented, the food runners are nice and friendly, but your server staff is consistently rude and ruins the entire experience. Don’t come here if you want decent service.

Before Nuka, this place used to be a Napa store and before that a mini market store. ATMOSPHERE: They're located in a free-standing building on Haiku Road just across the street from the Haiku Cannery mall with lots of free parking. The Asian decor fits the restaurant perfect. It's a small open-air room that fits maybe 50 people max, with regular tables and sushi bar seating. RESERVATIONS: They don't take reservations so be prepared to wait during peak dinner hours especially on the weekend. FAVE FOODS: Karaage Chicken Very small portion but very really good. The chicken was very tender and the light karaage batter was delish. Chicken Katsu Donburi I am a fan of this place after eating this dish! The rice is laced with a sweet/salty soy flavor, topped with a over-hard fried egg cooked in the same sauce, topped with deep fried & super tender chicken katsu strips and finished off with thinly sliced nori. DEELISH! Tempura Shrimp Udon I simply love noodles, so this was an easy decision for my second time here. The broth is a bit sweet but very good (I am NOT a fan of sweet broths but this was an exception). Accompanied by a generous amount of shrimp, green bean, onion and mushroom tempura. Ahi Katsu Donburi Delicious rice dish flavored with a sweet-soy seasoning which is topped with an over-hard fried egg, and chunks of breaded and seared ahi. I personally would've liked to have the ahi cooked all the way through which would make the dish more visually pleasing, though it's still very good overall. Portion size is perfect. SERVICE: Everyone has been great all these years. OVERALL: Maui's best Japanese restaurant.

Food is always delicious, definitely my favorite restaurant on Maui… Our service last night went above and beyond, had a great time and enjoyed every bit of it.

I've been to Nuka twice. Once a few years ago (it was excellent), and this past weekend (it was not). Service: We showed up a few minutes after they opened and scored one of the few open tables. We sat for 10-15 minutes waiting to place a drink order. What we later learned was our server was busy with a table seated after us. I had to ask a different employee for our server. She eventually arrived and didn't apologize for the delay. The service from this point was ok...clumsy, not horrible, but def. not gracious. Cocktails were delivered with no napkin to absorb the sweat off the glass. I've worked the front of the house in fine dining and It felt like the staff receive minimal training, and are delivering food as they would bowls of cereal to their children. Lots of staff only carrying 1-2 items at a time - ie a lack of efficiency. Food: This was better. We tried the miso butterfish, a tempura appetizer on the specials menu, and a variety of sashimi and sushi. These were well prepared, and made up for feeling like they didn't care if we were there or not. Salmon sashimi was not fresh, and remained on the platter after it was sampled. The remainder was fresh and tasty. Summary: Due to it's location and status as the only sushi restaurant for miles, I think management has decided they are busy and customer service doesn't need to be prioritized. That's true until it isn't, and competition appears. Our bill for two came to nearly $250. Did we feel like we got our money's worth and look forward to returning? No.

I literally flew a few thousand miles to eat here again! Bradley.. great to see you again and you always blow it out of the water! Food & service at the sushi bar were outstanding.. if you have ever been here before you know that this is an experience in itself.

The hardware store is great, really helpful staff. Baked on Maui has great food and prices are not outrageous.

If there's a better spot in all of Haiku, I don't know. The store's great (a whole shelf of Argentinian delights! On an island! In the jungle! IN THE MIDDLE OF THE PACIFIC), and you can get lost walking around the hallways and visiting the artisan workshops. I love hanging out here.

Baked on Maui is delicious. Hardware store is funky and useful. Gramps is the best place around to get your board repaired! Has a small grocery store too and other kine stuffs.

I've been going to the cannery for over 30 years ( there used to be a video store back in da day) they provide a service by renting out spaces to businesses, artists, they also used to have da best dumpster diving until they locked their dumpsters. I hate people that make and leave a mess when diving, or all those prior people who have sued companies for their own clumsiness, they are the reason so many businesses lock their dumpsters. Used to be you could furnish your house out of what people threw away...Just saying..

Good product good people that's it 😀

Its an old cannery full of surf shops and woodshop. Not very exciting. There is a new store and a decent food spot.

There all the time,baked on Maui, cabinet makers local store, surfboard shop lot of stores ran by the Deep state.

Good parking and nice to sit and watch the surfers. It’s beautiful to look at because of the turtles and the ocean! But it is not a swimming beach. And it is good for surfing only if you are a well-seasoned surfer. Lots of rocks at the shore!

Beautiful beach to see the sea turtles, watch surfers in action and just enjoy what the ocean has to offer. A little too rough for snorkeling or a relaxing dip, but fun for buggie boarding and offers a pretty view for the sunset.

Great beach. The ability to stay up top or go down on the beach is really nice. There are showers here. There are lots of surfers and people who know where they are going and what they're doing. Still great to visit and just chill.

Very strong winds!! Amazing views of powerful waves. Lots of surfers and other water activities. Popular area! And the best part of it all... Numerous sea turtles enjoying the warm sun in the late afternoon into the evening on the beach! A must visit if in Maui!

Good parking, easy to walk down. We went just to see the turtles resting on the beach which was easy because there are a ton just laying there plain to see. Photos are good to take and the beach looked clean although we didn’t go on it. Not much else to say, but it is cool to see all the turtles just hanging out if you’re in the area.

Nice long park along the ocean with some beach but the environment lends itself to attract the surfing crowd. Lot of boards and windsurfing taking place with a pretty consistent surf coming off the windward side of Maui. There are bathrooms and shelters available from the sun. The park is right outside Paia at the start of the Road to Hana. Plenty of parking if the beach area is not overly crowded. Enjoy the experience!

Went here at noon time. Only checked the lookout. The view is pretty. Saw many turtles on the beach. Many surfers on the sea. Parking lot is full when we arrived but not hard to wait for someone to leave.

This was an amazing experience! Cannot recommend it enough. Super fun to get to see such an authentic lifestyle and meet animals who are so grateful to be rescued! You get to see so many things you cannot find anywhere else!

This was a cool experience off the beaten path. These animals are all rescues that are cared for by volunteers and the owner of the property. For $50 each they take you on a tour of the property and teach you about the animals and where they were rescued from. Then they allow you to stay and meet the animals and spend time with them. Ample parking, portable bathroom in the parking lot. There were guinea pigs, tortoises, turkeys, cats, goats, chickens and more.

The cutest and family friendly animal sanctuary ever. Brought my two kids with me and we absolutely loved our tour host, she was the sweetest and the animals And the entire place is amazing

I cannot imagine a more serene and beautiful place than this animal sanctuary. So many friendly animals and a wonderful tour lead by Danielle, who described each animal's story of how they ended up at the sanctuary and taught us about many of the native plants growing there.

We took a farm tour with Danielle and she was so friendly and knowledgeable! We loved meeting so many animals and exploring the beautiful grounds of the sanctuary.

Fun for all ages, especially for anyone who has not had much experience with farm animals. Our guide Danielle was exceptionally patient with the guests and radiated genuine love and care for each of the animals. We stayed long past the tour to cuddle cats and take photos on the stunningly beautiful property.

Our best adventure while we were on the Island. Cannot stop talking about Snuggles and Sweetie Pie. Any animal lover needs to visit and see what these wonderful people are doing for so many animals.

This was one of the coolest places we visited while exploring the island on our trip to Maui! It was cool to learn about the lava, flow of chocolatey water that used to exist until the collapse that took place at one end, which stopped the flow of water. The ticket prices were quite reasonable, I believe $15.00 for adults. the staff was friendly, helpful and informative. the park area was well maintained and clean. It was really cool to read the signs along the way and learn about the history of the Hana Lava Tube and how it originated. (Be cautious while exploring, some of the pathway/steps can get a little steep. We had no issues, but small children or people with any balnce issues might find it challenging to navigate.) Again, We loved checking it out, Definitely worth a visit.

We loved this lava tube! It was so cool inside! It’s a self-guided tour inside, but they give you flashlights to use inside. There are so many colors inside - it’s beautiful! I’ve been in a lot of caves before, so they’re not “new and exciting” for me, but this one was truly enjoyable.

I had no idea this place existed, and I was born and raised on the rock! We found it by accident while searching for some gardens located way down the dirt road that ended up being closed. I for one was excited to see this. Seeing and walking through an actual lava tube which once flowed with hot magma is fascinating to me! No reservations are required. You pay your $12.50 (2014 price), you're given a brief explanation of the tube, an LED flashlight, and you're on your self-guided way. THE TUBE: The entrance was super exciting. The pitch dark black hole adorned by ferns drops about 20 feet into the ground. You're immediately greeted with a temperature perfect 70% humidity atmosphere and is about 5-7 degrees cooler than the air outside. There's no smell inside. You will be dripped on by rain water seeping through the ground above. The ground is very uneven but there are handrails throughout to guide and help you. Anyone with difficulty walking should not do this. There are signs throughout that explain the different floors, walls and ceilings of the tube. Near the end of the tube is an intimidating low-hanging ceiling that requires you to duck down and walk under. Here is where you can see the stalactites up close. They're nothing like you'd see in other caves as they're small and look like melted Hershey Kisses. Soon after this is a vent that opens up to the land above, letting in sunshine as if you're going to heaven or something lol. The attraction ends a few feet later - it goes on for longer but this is where these folks' property line ends, so you have to go back. TI LEAF MAZE: I was hesitant to go through it but my friends wanted to. I had fun. It was longer than it looks. I have no idea how you begin to design something like that. Do it! What else are you going to do in Hana lol?! TIP: There are no creatures in the tube, except for worms that dangle from the ceiling, but we didn't see any. The worker also stated that she's never seen any during the 5 years she's been there. I'm a bit claustrophobic and had no problem in here. OVERALL: Very cool attraction to see.

Unique experience. About $15 a person in 2025. Worth it. Takes about 30 mins or so to see the whole cave. Really beautiful and fascinating if you read the plaques. I've never seen such beautiful starry night looking bacteria on cave ceilings before! Such a great experience. Easy walking/hiking. All ages should be able. You need to be able to take steps and walk with a flash light.

What a great little adventure! Close the the state park and great for most ages.. I love the history and the go at your own pace. The staff was friendly and super accommodating

Super cool experience! It’s very interesting to see what the earth can do naturally and the signs explain everything to you really easily. I definitely learned something new! However, $15 seemed a bit high just to walk through a cool cave, and it’s privately owned so it’s not like the money is going to support Maui, which is why I took off one point. There are restrooms (ports potties) and be prepared to have a slight trouble parking. Had honestly an amazing time though and was amazed!

Took about 30 mins round trip. They supply flashlights and it was $31 for two people. Amazing experience. Be cautious if you are taller(6’3 +) as they were some low hanging spots that I banged my head on.

A very enjoyable quick pit stop on your way to Hana. There are bathroom facilities that were fully stocked with toilet paper. The view is right a the parking lot, so no need to walk unless you’d like a bit higher up of a view, as there is a path along the cliff for another viewpoint. It is a truly spectacular view. Free parking is very handy. Overall this is a great place for a photo op as well as a bathroom break.

Clear signage and pull off. Short walk to Cliff side view of the bay. Bathrooms are provided. Breathtaking views.

A very scenic viewpoint you shouldn't miss when driving on the scenic Road to Hana. There is plenty of free parking.

Beautiful viewpoint. The park is open 07:00-19:00. There are public washrooms in the place and picnic area. Free parking spots in the place. Highly recommended.

A great stop to see ocean & waterfalls. The bathroom was clean, but they ran out of paper towels and toilet paper. Lesson learned: bring your town toilet paper when going to rural areas b/c many public bathrooms will be out of paper products.

Rest stop on the road to Hana with a beautiful view. There's a restroom and ample parking. My wife and I stopped there on our way to Hana and again on the way back. It's worth the stop.

What an added attraction to view such a beautiful ocean scenery and Hana town from this lookout spot. Tables to sit and rest before continuing journey to Hana. Restrooms are a plus. Make sure you bring sanitizer/hand soap as none provided.

Nice falls. Parking can be tough. Best photos can be taken from the bridge but it's on the road! Watch for traffic if you choose to do this!

This was not a great spot to stop at to see the "Waterfall". We ended up finding a spot to pull over and we had to go over the barrier on the side of the cliff to view this very small spout of water. Do not recommend stopping for this one.

This was a stop on the road to Hana. It was not a suggestion of a stopping point but totally worth it. Easy to access the waterfall just be careful it's a long drop but totally safe to get pretty close to the edge.

Makapipi Falls is one of the nice waterfalls you will get to see while driving the road to Hana. There isn't much parking in the area so you will have to walk down the tiny road if you want to get a photo. I parked a ways up on the road and was able to capture a photo via drone.

Easy stop off just on one side of the bridge that runs over the top of the falls. Not the easiest to get good pictures of, but a great looking and pretty impressive waterfall!

If you're heading to hana, you need to go past the bridge and park in the small parking area on the immediate right. Cross the street there and walk to where you get a view of under the bridge. It's beautiful. Not obviously easy to hike to, but since it's toward the end of the road to hana, you might be happy to just look at it from afar and not have to hike to enjoy it.

Very beautiful falls, has a pull over across the road to park. Falls can be seen from above or along a side road. Easy walk to falls from parking area. Sometimes they have coconuts for sale there.

Watch for Nahiku road on your left when driving towards Hana. It’s around 8 minutes drive then leave your car in the lot and walk another 5 minutes for some great views and a small freshwater pond/waterfall.

Nahiku road is beautiful to drive, but locals no longer tolerate tourists. Although the wayside and viewpoint are on public land there is no longer parking, this includes spots that were formerly accessible in front of the church and a few spots under the banyan tree. There are no parking signs that the locals put up surrounding all sides at the end of the road with multiples spray painted messages that essentially said, "no tourists, locals only, respect our neighborhood." We were disappointed, but respectfully turned around and headed back to Hana. If you hike east of wai'anapanapa state park you will get just as many breathtaking views of the coastline, minus the waterfall you would have seen/swam in at nahiku.

Coral church, not open to public.

(Translated by Google) The church itself sounds great and looks beautiful from the outside. However, we couldn't get directly inside. A tour wasn't possible either, so the stop wasn't really worth it. It might be different at other times. We were here on a Tuesday afternoon. (Original) Die Kirche an sich klingt toll und sieht auch schön aus von außen. Allerdings konnten wir nicht direkt zur Kirche hinkommen. Auch eine Besichtigung war nicht möglich, deshalb hat sich der Stop nicht wirklich gelohnt. Das könnte zu anderen Zeiten anders sein. Wir waren an einem Dienstag Nachmittag hier.

This is the perfect spot to fuel your adventures off of the road to Hana. It provides good eats for breakfast (served until 11:30 AM) and lunch. I've had both. You can't go wrong with a breakfast sandwich or a hamburger. The portions are generous so it's a good way to energize either before or after hitting the trails or just exhausted after the winding road. Seating is limited and everything is made to order so you'll want to be patient. Enjoy an iced coffee and company while you wait.

Nice place with good burgers, especially the fries were amazing! Veggie options available too. Friendly service

Tucked in 'downtown' Haiku (Country vibe), this restaurant is a locals' favourite but visitors are certainly welcome because the entire staff is friendly, cheerful and welcoming. The food is solid, it has everything one can ask for. Bar area is comfy and lively. If you happen to cruise by the town of Haiku, make sure to stop by for a meal (breakfast, dinner) or great Happy Hour.

We stopped in to see the area and found this place. Very quaint and friendly. We ordered a tuna melt and the upcountry beef burger. Both were perfectly prepared and fresh. We shared an order of fries as the portion was very generous. Love the crispy battered fries. We picked up a couple of pastries for the road as they looked great and tasted just as great for breakfast the next day. Highly recommended.

Simply great. The service was super funny and the burgers were amazing. I’ve never had fries this good. We’ll definitely be back :)

Easy seating, cas atmosphere. We were stuffed before our main course. Gotta get the mushrooms, OMG! The regular and sweet potato fries are perfect! Large portion to $ ratio, too!!!

Solid breakfast choices - friendly service - and great vibe all around. This is a "locals" spot - unpretentious and chill - Colleen's is always our first choice for breakfast.

Nuka in Haiku offers a cozy, stylish setting with a menu that leans into Japanese classics. While the sushi and rolls were just okay — fresh but not particularly memorable — the meat skewers really stood out.

I literally flew a few thousand miles to eat here again! Bradley.. great to see you again and you always blow it out of the water! Food & service at the sushi bar were outstanding.. if you have ever been here before you know that this is an experience in itself.

Awesome place. Delicious Acai bowls ($18 or so). Kombucha ok.

Wanted to like this place since it’s near my house. Unfortunately, they have political misinformation and propaganda all over the restaurant so I definitely will not be spending my money to support them pushing false information that’s dangerous to our community. Additionally, the employees are rude and do not speak to you when you walk in.

Not bad at all for the vegan variety they have! The parking is just around the corner from the place and this place was not hard to find. The place is kinda hippy and almost feels like a hippy pub but people were friendly when we went in! I did want to get a kombucha but it was a little too strong for me. They do give out samples before you buy a cup! The food was good and very filling. The only downside of the oat bagel was it got very dry abd crumbly. It could have used something to keep it little more moist. Overall the food was not bad :)

Every time I fly from the Bay Area to visit family and friends in Maui, I try to start the day with a BoochBuzz from Maui Booch. We have flights and accommodations reserved for a mid-June visit, and our rental house is just a short walk up Kokomo. Maui Booch, we're coming back and bring more family to become vacation regulars.

What can I say about this place: they are just the nicest folks ever. The service was solid. And the booch was creative. (If you cant decide, have a flight!) We drove quite a ways to stop and see them. Next time I hope we have time to stay a bit and enjoy the food. There seems be a wide variety of things to nibble, drink, and eat. The nuts were great too!

Definitely this is the best kombucha on tap at Maui island. The vegan food and delicious vegan cakes and the chocolate bars are a must have! The most friendly and helpful stuff ever. this location is clean has a good location in Haiku town.

The kombucha is delicious! I got the guava lime, she got the mango jasmine. We shared an Immortality Bowl. When we came most of their food menu was not available, but the bowl was delicious so that's ok. They also will fill any container you have with kombucha, so come prepared so you can get a couple of gallons. I'm very glad we went out of our way to explore this little place.

got off 2 connecting flights one from dallas to seattle and seattle to maui, and this was the first place we sat down to eat after 12 hours of being on a flight. the two guys working there were so so kind and friendly with the questions we had and when we asked for recommendations. service was also super quick and the food was incredible!! the korma tasted so authentic to maui combining hawaii and india together. so so flavorful and the enchilada, middle eastern plate, and the etsalada salad were super good!! thank you for such great service and food!! :)

This is One of the best Vegetarian and Vegan options joint to definitely visit while in Maui. The price, quality and quantity all are worth the visit. While in Maui, do give it a visit and you will not regret it. This place is full of Vegetarian food. They have Italian, Mexican, and Mediterranean cuisines and one Indian dish on the menu. You won’t regret this place.

The food is a fusion on good Asian vegetarian dishes with local authentic flavors of Hawaiian style cuisine.The chefs in the kitchen are well trained to make the platters to bring the authentic flavors.Recommend the place .We had Cheese Enchiladas,Middle eastern plate,garlic bread,Etsalada salad, Mac Nut Veggie Korma.

This is the place to go for an excellent -relatively quick- meal that your body wont regret later. Sporting a completely vegetarian menu Veg Out brings a variety of dishes to table from Mediterranean to Mexican options. The staff seems to be small, as I am often greeted by a friendly familiar face each time I visit. I love coming here! Veg Out always provide consistent and delicious meals- the burrito being one of my favorite and the burger taking a close second. This humble little spot is sure to leave you feeling full, and satisfied.

We had lunch at Veg Out today and were pleasantly surprised by how good it was. The falafel wrap was very good, nice balance of the falafel and veggies, and a light but tasty sauce for it. My wife enjoyed her"steak" sandwich and commented how good the bread was. We look forward to going back and trying the muffaletta.

Hidden gem in Maui for Vegetarian/Vegan people, especially its multi cuisine and food is very flavourful, and its owner operated, thanks a lot for keeping the flag of authenticity so high

Food was very good! Small place but nice person who managed. Taste and price is very good! Recommended for non meats.

Stumbled upon this place on the road to Hana. It smelled awesome so we had to stop. The mixed BBQ plate was awesome. It had pork, chicken, rice and a fern salad. It was all so delicious. The guy working the grill was super friendly and cool. The seating is in old tram cars. The "plates" are big chunks of bamboo. The utensils are hand cut bamboo chopsticks. I can't say enough about how incredible this place was. It is a must stop on your road to Hana.

$30 for a platter that will feed two people. There is not a single inorganic item used the plate is banana the chopsticks or bamboo. And I watched them pick the salad up the hill from The shack shack. Everything tasted great!

Very unique and definitely worth the stop for a bite to eat. The chicken, pork, rice and veggies were full of flavor, and served on a piece of bamboo, with bamboo chopsticks.

A smoke shack indeed… the single cook uses everything from Mother Nature to make and prepare the meal. Only option we were able to order was the combo (pork + chicken). We then we’re told to sit at the tables, which is what looked like abandoned trolley cart. He think brought our food out to us in tree husks with two cut up bamboo sticks to use as chopsticks. Very innovative I must say. And for a smoke house in the middle of the jungle on the side of a narrow road (Road to Hana) this place indeed hit the spot for the meat eaters. Unfortunately, this place is definitely not vegetarian friendly—obviously. The meat was on a bed of spring mix, rice, and a few veggies. After we were finished the cook brought out a “leaf” plate of pineapple chunks, which was very refreshing on a hot day following a hot meal. Definitely an experience to try (for all you meat lovers)! I believe we paid $50 for two meals

Best bbq chicken and pork! Pineapple was delicious too! Dont forget to bring cash 💵!!! They dont accept venmo or apple pay.

If you plan to go to Arboretum Eden Garden, you have to stop here an live a foodies experience in Ka Haku Smoke Shack.

Our best meal in Maui! The huli chicken was amazing! The fern salad was a great addition. Loved the food serving in plates from banana steams with chopsticks made from a bamboo shoot.

I got a masala Dosa and regular Dosa with chutney. Did not have the usual spice level I am used to but I know they have to cater to many palettes being in a tourist area. It still had the classic dosa and coconut chuntney taste I have come to love. One masala Dosa would likely not be enough for an average person but the two was perfect. Came in around $16 which I think is totally reasonable for the area and what you'll be paying at most restaurants.

For Indians: it’s not your usual spice level but definitely has the right amount of flavor to do the job, dosa sambar and chutney were full of flavor and were piping hot, lemon rice could be little more flavorful For Non Indians, enjoy the awesome food, it’s amazing! There are rest rooms just opposite to the food truck.

One of the best and authentic south Indian food we had in USA. We ordered the South Indian combo and veg korma combo plate. Both plates were really good. Especially loved the coconut chutney, it was fresh and masala dosa was awesome!

Good food. Slow service. Food truck was run by a single person. It was in a food truck park with a bunch of other options nearby. We had lunch here. Masala dosa was great. Chutney was just raw coconut. The vegetable korma was great too. Small portions for the price.

Fresh and tasty food! Clean place. Sweet people. Sambar and coconut chutney tasted yum! awesome lassi. a must visit in haiku if you’re a foodie too :)

I strongly recommend to taste the Indian Food from Nirvana. Jason (the owner) was very friendly and keen to help us in our decision about the meal, he explained us about the different ingredientes and flavours of the food and then took our order. Wait time was ok (about 10 minutes) but anyway it is located in a nice place to spend a while with family or friends. Because of that I would say the service and environmental was very very good. About the food, my recommenadation is to get the Dakine Plate (Salad, raita, chicken curry and vegetables) with Naan as a side. This was absolutely delicious and I recommend this to every person who goes to this place.

We were fortunate to find this place on our recent trip to Maui. The food was very authentic and flavorful. I grabbed a few things for lunch for the kids while I was out running errands. The kids loved the dosa so much they wanted more for dinner. My mother in law also tried some of the kids food and asked for some for herself. We were very pleased with the food. The service was excellent as well. We will certainly return here on our future trips to Maui.

Mixed Steak and Chicken Plate is the best food around. Try the ginger lemonade. Must have.

Steak mixed plate was fantastic. The best steak I've ever had in a mixed plate - great sauce, meat just falling apart tender. Good rice and Mac salad and green salad. Family had shoyu chicken and it was also excellent, meat falling off the bone and very flavorful. Only downside is that the prices are fairly high for a food truck, but it was well worth it!

Gorgeous vista of the north shore and yes portion of the beach is sectioned off for turtles and we saw a few coming and going (turtle speed). The beach is very nice but busy of course. There is parking and turnover is high. There is also a cattle ranch right next door. You have to wonder if the cows care for such killer view that comes with high winds...probably not!

Delicious! I had the grass fed beef chopped salad, and my husband had the tofu. Both were very tasty. The salad was made with very fresh greens, and the mac salad was very good (not too much mayo). Highly recommend.

Simple but tasty plate lunches. Chopped steak was amazing! Shoyu Chicken was juicy and flavorful. Definitely a great and economical place to stop for lunch before Hana.

All the bois cruise there often asfffff. They’re food is so amazing every time and there prices are super minor. Customer service is amazing, the wait can feel like a bit sometimes but mainly because they’re always busy but it’s always worth it. In my opinion the best thing to get on the menu is the teriyaki tofu plate. Along with a berry hibscus tea.

You know, this place used to be good, but that’s until “Bailey” or whatever her actual name is stared to just have no pono for the community of haiku (in which I’m born and raised), and started to look more into the profit. What started as a good food truck with lokal kine grindz turned into a tourist hotspot with little food and insane prices. And that’s not even the worst part, either. You’re lucky to buy anything from them these days, as they seem to be more closed than open. So, please people, just go to the veg out or even the grocery store, because that’s actually supporting our community, not haoles trying to profit off Hawaiians. Shootz 🤙🤙🤙

Came to get a Bobs dog 2 days in a row and he’s not at the favorite spot anymore. Gonna miss you Bob. I’m here every year from Montreal Canada. I wish I knew where you’re situated now. Best darn hot dog you can get.

Had a Bob's Dog and it truly is the best on the island. Bob uses all beef franks he imports from Chicago and his bread is always fresh. Met Bob and his wife and they are wonderful people, very kind and colorful.

Great dog. The mustard really IS good. Great taste and balances. #2 is the bomb. Worth every dollar. Get it before going down to see the turtles.

The best money i have ever spend on a hot dog!

Phenomenal hotdog!! Say hi to Bob for me!!

Best hotdog on Maui! It’s guarantied! I had the classic Chicago dog it was Awesome.

Delicious!! One of the best hot dogs I’ve had. Very kind owner as well!

Just to be clear about what about to say, I’m Texan. I’ve eaten at the top BBQ joints in the state including Franklins. I’ve been making my own bbq for as long as I can remember. Now.. This place has some of the best darn bbq I have ever tasted. The brisket was amazing, the sides were amazing.. that huli huli chicken? OMG. The pork belly is just non stop mouth watering delicious. I don’t care if you’re driving the Road to Hana for the tourist sites or whatever.. make the trip too try this food. You won’t regret it. Seriously. I’ve been back in Texas for two weeks, and have bbq a few times, and I still can’t stop thinking about that chicken and pork belly.

Fantastic food. We had brisket and it was really soft and tasty. There are several other food trucks including coffee and smoothies. Good stop on the way to Hana or coming back.

Just got here for work and People keep telling me about the BBQ here. Saw this on the side of the road so I slid all up in there! The folks there were so kind and welcoming. Im glad I stopped cause it's one of the best bbq I've had in a long time. This is Huli huli chicken and the kalua pork. On the side is a local fern called pohole they use in a salad. gotta try it! They also sell maui smoked salt. 👌

Huli huli chicken was excellent. The wings and drumsticks and wasabi potato salad were my highlights. The pork belly was excellent. Relaxed atmosphere and you can tell the guys really take pride in their food. 5 stars and I’d eat here again.

October 21, 2019 10/14/2019 On the Road to Hana, stopped at Aloha Aina BBQ to get some Coconut Water and Banana Bread, in Haiku, Hawaii

Can’t explain in words The best slowly cooked smoked beef brisket ever I had 🥳 They have beautiful seating area with lovely meat selection. Try them must try them Loco moco brisket was my favorite. 😍

This is a must stop either on the way to Hana, watching the sea turtles or Jaws. We had the brisket and the Hooley chicken both were outstanding and juicy. I love my potato salad, and the wasabi macaroni potato salad was awesome!! I’m not much of a salad eater, but we bought the fern salad and it was incredibly refreshing with a soy ginger sauce. $25 fed us both . The atmosphere is delightful and we played connect four while waiting for the food. Will absolutely be back. This is yet another wonderful food truck with an outdoor hangout area that is delightful.

Been going to Kings in Haiku, a few times a month, for a couple of years now. Always fast and delicious and a good deal for the cost. Wasn't as excited about the quality of the American style food offerings (burgers & fries) but if you're looking for good Chinese, they do it well. I highly recommend the eggplant chicken 👍🏼

King's is a conveniently located Chinese/Hawaiian restaurant in a humble storefront. Prices are a relief from resort gougers, and the food is good and fast. Generous portions. I had Chicken Katsu the first time, and it was delectable. Second time, Chicken Chow Mein. Check their menu. Lots of variety, not just chicken. After ordering at the counter, I heard the ingredients for my Chow mein hitting a hot wok in the kitchen. Fresh, hot and delicious. My son can't stop eating their orange chicken. Yeah, Kings should be on your lunch/dinner list.

I give this restaurant a 5 star for quality of food and affordability. Great portion sizes for the price. The BBQ mixed platter was delicious as well as the musubi. Great find!

I tried to share this but just posted the photo earlier. The food was fantastic, portions were generous, and the service was good. This picture is of the black pepper chicken; definitely recommended!

Black pepper chicken extra Mac salad .. one of my favorite plates of food I dream about everytime I’m away lol

Really great burger 🍔 for the price!

Ordered a char siu fried rice from their catering menu for a potluck. Everyone loved it and kept asking me where I got the food from. Very reasonable prices and great tasting food in a humble little shop.

I’m giving 4 stars because it’s still in Hawaii and has that Hawaiian vibe. Plus it has all the stuff you want and can expect in a relatively small airport. Decent food and shops. Bright and airy. And two Priority Pass lounges. Now, both lunges are sub-par compared to other airports, but at least they got ‘em! The tram to car rental system is good, quick, and well organized. The airport is easy to get in and out of. And they have all the major airlines you’d likely use. Aloha!

As expected, this is a small island airport, but it still has all the stores and services you need to make it a great starting point for your Maui adventures. Like many others have mentioned, it features an excellent tram service that takes you directly to the rental car facilities. We left our rental car in the public parking lot for one day while we visited the Big Island and ended up paying a steep $36 the next day. Another helpful tip is that there’s a Walmart just a 5-minute drive from the airport, perfect for stocking up on water, juices, fruits, snacks, and sweets to make your road trips around the island even more enjoyable, such as the Road to Hana. What really set this airport apart compared to others was the outstanding service we received from Monica at United Airlines, along with a very friendly senior security officer on the day of our departure. Thank you so much, Monica, for making our check-in so smooth, hats off to you!

A lot of the walkways and passages are outdoor and full of birds. Be ready to sweat! 😂 Also the stores seem to close around 5-6pm so if you're traveling during the evening then you're going to be hungry. Or you can pay ~$20 for some Burger King. Beyond that it's a decent airport.

Simple airport to navigate with a great tram system that takes you to the rental car area. The terminal, and bathrooms along the way, were clean and we walked to a central hub that had a Starbucks and other shops. Heading down the baggage claim was easy to find and our bags were already coming out by the time we arrived. We rented a car from Hertz so we jumped across the street to catch the tram that took us to the rental car area. It was maybe a 5 minute ride, at most.

This airport is small, but still great place. I took SFO to Maui and maui to SFO it was really chill United Airlines. I took them. It was really nice. Very small airport though that’s the only thing. got out of that airport quick.

I travel a lot, but this airport is one of the most relaxed in the world! Old but clean with a nice charming character.

Great little airport, with actually quite friendly and helpful staff. It's strange flying 5hrs over the ocean and it still being an "internal" flight. We had hired a car when we arrived and given the compact size of the airport it was worth dropping the luggage off with my wife curbside and me doing a quick loop to return the car. It's a 3 minute walk to the departures terminal or you could ride the green tram which might be quicker, but that depends on the timing. We used the tram to transport us and our luggage to collect the hire car, but the arrivals terminal is further away.
