50 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Haiku

“When of the families, favorite restaurants always good food and great service“

“Absolutely. This is the one MUST STOP destination in the #roadtohana. Not for just the great coconuts, fruit or food but the chance to interact with Gale the owner and his crew. Truly enjoyed talking to him and learning a lot about Maui. 😍😍😍😍👏🏽“

“We loved the doughnuts and Pork tacos! So good and worth the stop!“

“Perfect and just right for a sunny afternoon by the pool!!! Love the fresh fruit on top! 💯“

“Delicious! I got Da Boss! And it more than delivered! Sooooo delicious!😋“

“First time in Maui and found this gem! Delicious mochi! The white chocolate dipping sauce with the poi Mochi was delicious and the lychee with the pog sauce was wonderful!“

“Hands down the best Mediterranean food I’ve ever eaten“

“Wow. This was a highlight, but we almost didn’t stop because it was a little confusing. Tastings offered on the hour (we didn’t have reservations) but we were able to get in. A little weird; wait in the merch line to buy tasting tickets, then meet in a grassy field on the side of the building. BUT, then the magic happened. Alan was knowledgeable & funny… and I absolutely fell in love with the company’s story (and their spirits!). After the tasting, we hung out for dinner on the lawn with live music and great cocktails! A must-stop. Wonderful.“

“This is one of the spots your tastebuds are never gonna forget and will beg you to return any time you can! The food here is so so tasty and handmade with love and organic fresh ingredients and flavors! The people that work here put so much love to the food and it shows! Everything is 100% plantbased and anything even the lemonades that are made there taste amazing! Definitely CANNOT miss out on the chipa waffle!!!!! It is so so good and packed with a rainbow of flavors and the owners are amazing and put so much love to everything as well. The matcha is to DIE for as well! I went today after my 100th chipa of the year and of course it was amazing. Go check it out, you wont regret it 💚🌀😊🍄“

“This delightful unique coffee truck is so Special , Andrea joyfully takes your order , and you can feel her passion , attentiveness and warmth in serving you !! :)
I love the cozy charm and the sweet details all around this coffee trolly! The bulletproof coffee is one of my faves ..smooth with just a hint of sweet to fuel your brain ! Mushroom mocha is a great alternative without coffee plus you get all the adaptagens!! Her Yummy Pastries/food pair perfectly !!

“This is the infamous sherbet dessert of Maui. How can you not love this refreshing alternative to ice cream and yogurt?! There are just two flavors, strawberry and pineapple, but they do come out with a limited, special flavor every now and then, usually posted on their IG page.

Its not overly sweet nor filling. Choose from 1 to 5 scoops or a pint. They also pack them for inter-island flights. They no longer have azuke beans for a topping.

Closed on Sundays, cash only.“

“Loved that nothing was too sweet the Tiramisu is special and the coffee tasted really good can’t wait to try more things.“

“Our last day on Maui brought us to Freshies! Delicious and highly recommend! Pinto beans, and the garlic chicken soup, wow! And the local beef used for the burger, so good! Mahalo!“

“The boba was sooooo ono delicious!! We tried a couple flavors and both were so yummy and we can't wait to go back here again! The man who served us was so kind and patient answering our many questions. Go get a boba drink today, you won't be disappointed and will support a local Lahaina buisness that has reopened in Kahului!“

“One of the food trucks in the Maika’i market in the Maui Mall Village and possibly my favourite meal in Maui. Food is made to order so the pork was crispy, juicy and so tender. The fresh onion, tomato, and vinegar dipping sauce balanced the pork’s richness and fattiness beautifully. The people running it are friendly and clearly care that they are serving great food. Huge portion too - it served as both lunch and dinner! Would love to go back and try more things.“

“Literally the best vegan ice cream Eye’ve ever had and really ice cream in general from when Eye wasn’t vegan. There are only about four vegan options but Eye swear they’re soooo delicious. My favorites are the mint chip and the brown sugar. Updated from previous review on 2026-03-28“

“Food was delicious and the hospitality was over the top! If we are ever in Maui again🙏 we will definitely be stopping by again 🥰“

“Easy to find food truck in the Lowe’s parking lot. We ordered two ahi plates, and one shrimp plate. They kindly accommodated a request for all salad on one plate. All plates were flavorful, although the ahi was very overcooked. Visited around 3pm on a weekday, only one person in line and still had a long wait for the food. They were kind and apologized for the wait though. Mahalo!“

“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.“

“I apologize because I confused you with another coffee company :( You all were so amazing during COVID with us HUNGRY HOMELESS HERO delivery volunteers. Thank you 🙏 so much for your hospitality 🙌 Aloha 🤙🏽“

“Best Food truck we’ve been to in Maui Hawaii 🙂!! Trust me we tried a lot. So healthy and delicious flavor love the chicken stir fry! Salad dressing is amazing. In my opinion they have the best Smoothies! Don’t hesitate to stop and try“

“Coming from 305 miami and having tasted a lot of Cuban coffee I can say that albas Cuban colada is by far the best and only real coffee in Maui. Juan Manuel Colome Santiago de Cuba, Oriente 110% Cubiche“

“I am so delighted to give these cookies a 5 star review. I was trying to think of ways to support local businesses after the fires and I will be ordering more soon. Thank you for making such a delicious shortbread cookie.“

“Really good service and food. Recommend getting the banana bread French toast ♥️“

“By far the BEST food we had on our trip, and probably some of the best Thai food I’ve had period. Lots of vegetarian options, I got the orange tofu bao buns and vegan spring rolls, which were basically perfect. The dining area is small but uniquely decorated in a fun retro-80s theme, and ordering is done by QR code. Service is fast and friendly. Highly recommend making the stop if you’re visiting Maui, or even just a local who hasn’t been yet. It’s great!“

“Delicious! We ate here twice, and made it our last meal in Maui before heading home.“

“We got iced coffee, tropical shaved ice, poke, nachos, and the banana bread dessert (heavenly). Dessert was to die for. Everything was delicious.“

“I was told to try this place by a friend from the area and I’m glad I did! I got the “Lahaina” (pineapple, coconut, and banana) with vanilla ice cream on the bottom and the “snow cap” (sweetened condensed milk mixture) on top. It was amazing! The line was pretty long so there was definitely a wait, but it was worth it!“

“When visiting Hana I always stop here because the Food is Amazing and the Owner and Staff are Great People!! Always A GREAT CHOICE!!“

“When visiting Maui don’t miss Paia, and when visiting Paia don’t miss Choice Health Bar. If light and delicious is your thing than you will be thrilled when you discover this place. Amazing owners and staff makes this a restaurant you don’t want to miss.“

“Absolutely amazing food, friendly owner and fabulous outdoor seating area with a great vibe. We love this place. We ordered a chicken burrito and a chicken taco combo plate and everything was delicious. We will be back again next time we are visiting.“

“Restaurant Matsu is a true hidden gem and now officially one of my favorite spots on Maui! It came highly recommended by locals and now I see why.

As a big fan of udon soup, I had to try theirs with the tempura vegetables, and it did not disappoint. The broth was flavorful and comforting, and the tempura was perfectly crispy. I also grabbed a spamasubi (because, of course!), and it hit all the right notes; simple, satisfying, and packed with local flavor.

The menu is full of tempting options, so it’s definitely a place I’ll be revisiting to try more. The service was friendly and efficient, which made the whole experience even better.

If you’re in Maui and looking for something casual, delicious, and local-approved, Restaurant Matsu is the place to go. Highly recommend!“

“Absolutely amazing food, friendly owner and fabulous outdoor seating area with a great vibe. We love this place. We ordered a chicken burrito and a chicken taco combo plate and everything was delicious. We will be back again next time we are visiting.“

“Excellent hoagies and the gelato was phenomenal. Great stop before the road to Hāna“

“Nachos are the bomb.com 💣.. can you guys just post a time when you're open me working at FedEx there's a lot of places that are open at the time we take our early morning lunch so we would just like to know - thank you for your service“

“This is how you start your Maui trip. The mochiko chicken was amazing, but what really stole the show was the eggplant omelet. I never would’ve thought of that combination, but it was beautifully done—perfectly seasoned and truly a match made in heaven. It paired surprisingly well with the mac salad too. Highly recommend stopping here early in your trip!“

“Massive shout-out to the Surf Club and Paia Inn in Maui for being the absolute best wedding venue we could have ever imagined! The setting was like something out of a dream—lush greenery, stunning ocean views, and the perfect blend of tropical vibes and intimate charm. The photos speak for themselves!

But what really made our day unforgettable was the incredible staff. From start to finish, they went above and beyond, making sure every detail was perfect. They handled everything with such care and made us and our guests feel so welcomed and at ease. It was like being surrounded by family!

If you’re looking for a wedding or event venue in Maui, do yourself a favor and check out the Paia Inn. The combination of beautiful surroundings and exceptional service made our special day even more magical. Mahalo to the entire team for making it all happen!

“Walk right past the long line at Starbucks and go here for your pre flight coffee. Even if not leaving from this terminal, it’s air conditioned, shorter wait, better coffee and a seating area where you can look over the West Maui mountains, weep over needing to leave and plan your next trip back.“

“One of my favorite upcountry restaurants. I am always pleasantly surprised by how good the food is here. 🌺“

“The former Pearl's Korean BBQ is now Won's.

MENU:
Mix of Korean & local Hawaiian entrees.

FOOD:
Chicken Katsu
While this is far from being a Korean dish, it's what I was craving. The two slabs of chicken were breaded and deep-fried to a golden brown, and laid out on 2 scoops of steamed white rice. You can choose 4 banchan sides, in which I got mac salad x2, bean sprouts, and potato mayo. Their katsu sauce is too sweet, which is why I always do takeout so I can use my Kagome-brand sauce from home lol.

Man Doo Kook Soo
This is a Korean version of ramen but was anything but. The rice noodles were a bit overcooked and didn't have any chewiness to it. I like them as a somen dish but not as a noodle soup. The broth was clear, very subtle in flavor, and tasted similar to egg drop soup. The bowl was topped with 4 good-sized pieces of soft mandoo with a tasty pork filling, egg washed shredded pork, and cooked white & green onions. Temperature was hot but not searing. Better than pho but it'd never dethrone a ramen in my world, lol.

SERVICE:
The workers were welcoming and friendly. I got my order in about 10 minutes.

OVERALL:
Bang for your buck! They'll do well here.“

“Great coffee selection & friendly staff. Even if you’re visiting Maui, get the punch card! You’ll be addicted and why not get a free coffee after your 10th cup? The pretzel filled with cream cheese was a hit with my teen. Definitely check them out!!!“

“This is a super cool funky Maui TREASURE! The atmosphere is totally chill. You will meet locals and tourists in this unique and fun pub/restaurant. Bring a dollar bill or two to personalize and hang on the wall with the tens of thousands of others that have visited over the last ~40+ years. The menu is simple and very good. Sandwiches are fresh, delicious, and big enough for the hearty appetite. There is a full bar here too that can serve local beers and crafty cocktails to enhance your meal. Dina's also offers some great hotdog recipes and everything on the menu can be ordered for either dine in or take-away. Located on the shore of Sugar Beach it is a convenient stop to grab a lunch to go or dine in for some cheerful service. Open daily from 11am to 10pm which also makes it a great place to grab an evening cocktail with friends after the beach or day of adventures. Plenty of allowed parking available at Sugar Beach Resort. Highly recommended if you are looking for a low key relaxing and fun place. 👍“

“Yummy!! Hit the spot!! We will be back. Friendly I look for local dining not chains.“

“Recently dined here and had a wonderful experience. Can’t believe I slept on this place. Definitely a new favorite spot for me. Friendly staff, excellent atmosphere, and the food was wonderful. We tried hot and cold soba, the eggplant, tuna and eel nigiri, and the mackerel appetizer. All fantastic. Will be returning and recommending it to friends. Dog friendly is an extra bonus! They were so sweet to my pup.“

“Beautiful amazing place on the road to Hana … must stop and take in the ambience and great owners and staff“

“Best pizza on island. Order online and pick up at window. Simple perfection!“

“The wife and I and a couple of our good friends went to see the sunrise at Haleakalā on the way down we stopped at the little bakery and just walked by and found this place went in to check the menu and the food smelled amazing. I got the roasted pork loco and soo good! Definitely recommend this place if you are in the area!“
