Hawaiian Restaurants near Haiku, HI

“My daughter and I found this place in 2017 while driving around. Couldn’t stop thinking about it. The location changed but she found Chewy. As far as I’m concerned it’s the best food on the island. Try the chicken…you will want more!“

“Hana has surprisingly few places open for breakfast. We were very grateful that the Restaurant at Hana Maui was open, so we didn’t have to hike the Pipiwai on an empty stomach. The food was pricey, but it was high quality and delicious. The papaya boat was easily the best we had on Maui…but again, not cheap. The tables on the lanai overlook the lush grounds and the ocean beyond - such a beautiful and relaxing way to start our day.

“Great place. The bartender Sara was on point. Definitely recommend.“

“Loved Waikomo Shave Ice. Beautiful patio. Shave ice was delicious. Even met a few locals. 🦎🩷🍧“

“My family of 6 loved the food. We had the mochicko chicken, garlic noodles, garlic shrimp and spicy chicken sandwich. Big portions. It’ll be lunch for me tomorrow. I would definitely go back again. The staff were polite and sounded like they were having a great time in the kitchen.“

“I’m so glad that we made a lunch reservation at Mama’s Fish House. The gardens and views are gorgeous, the valet was friendly and helpful, our waiter was informative, helpful and patient. Our whole family agreed this was the best meal we ate in Hawaii. I love seafood and eat it often, but this was the most delicious dish I’ve ever had. I had the Hawaiian Kanpachi with Crab & Lobster in a Macadamia Nut Crust and my husband had the Mahi Mahi and Ahi Curry. We were dinning with two children 12 & 9, the restaurant offered a few children’s options (baked Mahi, breaded Mahi and pulled pork- as they explained it there is a daily children’s menu provided and given by your server). Our picky, non-fisher eat enjoyed a lunch of virgin lava flow, vanilla ice cream and strawberry off the dessert menu and fresh baked bread. Our whole experience was fantastic and I’d highly recommend going.“

“Great plate lunch crispy salads everything I have been there. Disappointed in the burgers and eggs on the loco moco. different crew on different days.“

“Four stars based on one dish called chicken hekka and the service. Number one, she offered free sample, unsolicitedly. This got me to try it and it was yum! The dish had a sweetness to it, sort of like teriyaki but not teriyaki, glass noodles, rice, and veggies. Very good overall.“

“Huge portions for Meat & Melts BBQ. Philly cheese steak. Cooked well and fast. It was bigger than my hands. Friendly staff. I wanted a little more spice or seasoning, but it was still good. My husband liked mine better than his smaller gyro. Mine also came with crispy fries that were good. Try it!“

“This place is soooo good! We got the smoked meat bao sliders and the sweet and spicy pineapple crispy chicken and both were sooo good. This was our last stop on vacation before heading to the airport and I’m sad I can’t have more of it.“

“This L&L location also has Chinese food. If you order the Chinese, you receive your food immediately. I ordered a combo plate (Hawaiian) with fried fish, fried shrimp, and BBQ chicken. The service was extremely slow. The food was OK, although the shrimp was overdone. The mac salad was very good. It was in a "food court," which was below average.“

“Great food amazing service“

“Best tuna in Maui!! Better than all the expensive restaurants combined!! We’ve eaten here twice.“

“My wife and I were walking to Cupies to try their food for the first time. We saw some food trucks near by and thought we would take a look see. We decided to try Da-Soriano Grindz instead of Cupies. I built my own grinds plate(hope I used the proper grammatical structure?). I chose the Chinese marinated pork belly and shrimp with salad and noodles. THE BOMB YO! BROK DA MOUT! My wife and I shared it and we were both stuffed. The location is quiet, super clean, lots of shady benches(not shady as in Slim Shady-LOL) and the small customer-only restroom was spotless. There are not many food trucks here and we did not try the others, so I cannot help you there. Kudos though to all the truck owners(they refer to themselves as “tenants”) for they all pitch in to keep this space invitingly attractive.“

“This is a food truck that is located on the Target side of the Lowe's parking lot.
Aunty at the window was pleasant and friendly, food was ready quicker than expected. Truck plays Hawaiian reggae music. You're given a ticket with your order number on it and it is announced by Aunty when you're a food is ready.
Had the ribeye and garlic ahi katsu combo plate, $21. The ahi katsu is not a traditional katsu with panko breading. It's a bit hard fried crust and fish is fully cooked with a garlic mayo and a garlic reduction poured over it. I prefer the seared foodiecocket ahikatsu I've had elsewhere. No seasoning on the actual fish or in the coating, only in the sauce and the garlic reduction. The ribeye is chopped up into small pieces with I would say a good amount of fat left on that keeps the rest of the cut flavorful. Nice amount of seasoning that could have been better dispersed but that's just personal preference. The layer of rice under the ahi and the ribeye is there just to catch the juices so it doesn't all soak through the recyclable plate but still very good and yummy. Salad is just young greens mix with dressing and a scoop of rice.

Parking: Located in the large Lowe's parking lot on the Target side“

“Friendly local business with super ono treats! Go grab some manapua, pork hash or the brownies.“

“This burger is a spiritual experience. I am addicted to the bacon cheddar cheeseburger. Add the hot peppers (they aren’t too hot, more like a delicious slightly spicy pickle). The owner is really sweet and the food is both delicious and great price with a pretty wide menu. But trust me and please try the burger it’s honestly ridiculous it’s so good. A good selection of alcohol also.“

“Overindulged! The joyful experience of our 36th anniversary dinner will be one that we’ll be chasing over and over again! We were overindulged from the moment we sat down at the table with the most beautiful view, surrounded by soothing live music. The care and concern from each and every staff member was evident, making sure that the best possible bottle of wine for our meal was chosen, that our water glass was never too empty, that each plate delivered was well executed and well presented and explained, when done each time dishes were taken away quickly, the pacing of the meal was well done, just everything and everything! Perfection! And a special note to Sasha- we already noted during our meal service- the finesse and skill you brought to the level of service was just outstanding! Kudos to you and to the team that supports you in making sure that each of your tables gets the attention that they deserve! To say that our anniversary dinner was memorable is truly an understatement! It will be that feeling of being so well taken care of and that every orchestrated element enhanced our celebration will be what brings us back over and over again. We already are making plans to come back and I know we will be coming back over and over again! With our deepest appreciation! …and then the food! Truly the best farm to table experience on Maui! From the amuse buche course(s!) that wet our appetite for more goodies to come. The locally sourced ingredients shined with their freshness and the finesse in which they were presented. Two highlights were the Maui onion soup presented with the perfect amount of cheese and puffed pastry topping- just perfectly seasoned. And then the Haleakala filet mignon, once again perfectly cooked and perfectly seasoned and topped with compound butter that was melted at table side with rosemary. (It feels like we are saying perfect too much! But we do mean it!) Then to end the evening celebration with our chocolate lava cake surrounded by white and milk chocolate fondue with banana bread and fresh fruits was simply scrumptious! Chef Junior Ulep, Mahalo for our special night, with our deepest grateful hearts, we appreciate your mana and the joyfulness in which you have chosen to feed us and our fellow patrons at Kula Lodge Restaurant!“
