Restaurants in Kahului

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

“My Thai’s atmosphere was different than any restaurant I’ve seen before and seems to be very personality-driven. Matthew was great and greeted us, giving us complimentary water while we waited and mango sticky rice (delicious!) when he learned that we were honeymooners. We also got the orange chicken bao.”

“Delicious Steaks & Seafood!

We absolutely loved our meals at Ono Teppanyaki and Seafood! The Ribeye, New York steaks, and Lobster & Shrimp plates were all incredibly good. Every dish came with delicious rice and perfectly grilled onions, zucchini, and mushrooms. The sitting area is clean with plenty of tables and trash bins. Highly recommend for a tasty meal!”

“This is an enchanting little hideaway with an interior filled with a thousand treasures hanging overhead. The chef did such a phenomenal job on the food. I enjoyed every single bite. The red cabbage was very flavorful but I do wish the portion had been larger on that. The salad dressing was zesty and the gravy had a brandy or cognac flavor to it. I definitely recommend ordering the gravy on the schnitzel. It made the dish! The apple strudel is made in house and topped the foodie fest off beautifully. Thanks to our great waiter who really personalized the experience.”

“Fantastic food!! Great service!”

“Wow! The food at Balai Pata is spectacular! We also felt like it was a really cool designed restaurant with great vibes. Loved the garlicky malungay noodles. Lumpia was delicious. The bao buns were so soft and flavorful, the pork belly was incredibly tender. Someone in our party had the ramen and said it was very good. We also had a couple of specials — if the whole fried fish is available, definitely get it! We were blown away with the food here.

Parking: Easy parking right outside.

Kid-friendliness: Casual atmosphere is good for kids.

Wheelchair accessibility: Totally accessible.”

“The Noodle Bowls are Great.”

“Everything I could ask for. Basically a local version of Whole Foods, but better! Everything is organic, and they have an amazing variety of products to choose from. I tried food from the hot bar and got the Mango Sticky Rice smoothie, and both were amazing. Consider this a go-to spot if staying in Maui!”

“Good food, great service.”

“The food is flavorful and fresh! Great portions and they were able to make my order vegan. Very warm and friendly staff! I will definitely be back!

Vegetarian options: The tofu pad Thai and black bean tofu were great

Dietary restrictions: Everything was made vegan with a smile, so kind!”

“Ate here once a few years ago and have been meaning to go back sooner. Went this past week like 3 times! We like their bahn mi sandwiches, Tan Tan Ramen, 6 minute egg and Mac Crack Fish Bowl. Their cook does a good job and all of the local wahines working the cafe’ are really nice!”

“Arguable the best restaurant on Maui ....perhaps Hawaii.”

“We all enjoyed the Asian theme food. The main thing we like is the complexity of the food. The scallops were in a nice sauce and sliced to perfection. the Kanpachi was a tad overcooked but tasted nice in a nice sauce. The ice cream cake was very good as well. Our server was very nice and thoughtful. We really enjoyed the overall experience.”

“This place is delicious! The mandu (dumplings) are amazing! We ate here when we first got to Maui for vacation and my daughter kept asking to return. Everything was delicious!”

“The all of the da kine shrimp was phenomenal!! And the rib eye was amazing too!! 🤤🤤”

“Great place great service friendly staff very nice food live music”

“Good food. Good people. Every easy to talk too. Good prices.”

“Consistent great tasting pizza. And I the event they make a mistake they are happy to fix it.”

“8/2023We were staying across the street at Maui Seaside Hotel to support Maui relief efforts. This was a very convenient and pleasant option. Food and selection were great, quick, and supported with friendly service. It was bust but didn't take too long to get to our table of nine. Not going into details about the plethora of items we ordered but suffice to say everything was onolicious! Again, the friendly service ( may have been the manager) helped top off the evening. I would definitely want to go back! ??✌️”

“Grab a bigger wave And enjoy the rest of everything there!”

“Visit this place often, when the ladies are shopping at Macy's and etc. Usually one nice beer, then the Trophy Wives show up and we'll have a round with them. Friendly service. Never had food here, but those around us who order seem happy.”

“I stayed at the hotel on a business trip, dined at Rainbow Terrace restaurant for breakfast and dinner. Buffet breakfast and dinner were the buffet price excellent. The restaurant atmosphere is quiet and laid back. The restaurant staff were friendly and made sure all my drinks were kept full. If you are here on a budget, turn down your gourmet food appetite expectations. Where can you eat all you want for $17 for breakfast and dine prime rib and Chinese cuisine under $40? Nowhere. Highly recommended for business and budget travelers.”

“Our server started off short with is and tried to recover as time went on. I would’ve given them 5 stars but her attitude and the plain onion rings kept me from being able to. My cheeseburger tasted great though. Just expect airport pricing.”

“The service was great and the food was amazing! We ordered a breakfast burrito and it was perfect. We also ordered some French toast and it was delicious. Both were decent portions. The waitress was nice and helpful. I highly recommend this place if you have some extra time at the airport. The food was made quick so even if you don't have a lot of time it's a good place to get some food.”

“Cute robots that are painfully slow yet functional. Shows you can’t replace human service completely. 🙂

It’s an experience for sure. Great food. Friendly staff. Although the restaurant doesn’t feel “clean”. Service is pretty quick and sushi is generally fresh.”

“Excellent chicken and probably the best Moco Loco I’ve ever eaten!!
Justin is so kind and took the time to explain the menu and chat with us at the end of the meal. He makes a kick ass coconut cake (shoutout to his sister for making a delicious recipe!) it’s like a tres leches cake but with coconut and honestly I didn’t take any pictures because we are everything so quickly <3 will be back !”

“You will not be disappointed. Hands down the BEST comfort Local Food. Reasonable Prices. Great portion sizes. Locally Owned and Operated. 10 STARZ 🌟”

“Aloha
Amazing food . Highly recommend this vegan place in Maui ! All the vegetarian out there should definitely checkout this place. We tried the protein focaccia sandwich, supreme burger and matcha with maple syrup. Everything was amazing.”

“best burger on the islands! great quality service, and the fries perfect 10/10”

“I ordered the combo plate of garlic shrimp and garlic ahi katsu.

It was utterly divine!!!! I wish I could take this plate home on the flight. I wouldn’t miss out on this meal.

My husband got the combo plate with the fukake fried poke and the ribeye and it was mouth watering. ALL the flavor and juiciness you could imagine. I 1000000000000% would recommend.”

“Great loaded cheese curds. The smoked pork was delicious”

“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.”

“The BEST Thai I have ever had!🙏”

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

“Plantation Plate is my go-to when I’m craving comfort food! My day starts to get lifted the moment I place my order, and I always feel like I won the food lottery when my name is called. Shout out to the PP folks who have always been welcoming and professional 🤙🏽

My fave are the Laulau, Loco Moco and the beef stew. And there’s live music on Thursday 🎉”

“onolicious acai bowl, friendly staff, fast service and reasonable prices 👍”

“Recommended by a friend and it was fantastic. Huge portions too.”

“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.”

“An iconic ice cream shop.
Their strawberry flavor is my favorite and I never miss a quick getting in for it .
A great place to purchase one of Hawaii best ice cream.”

“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!!!”

“The most delicious media lunas! Everything delicious from the breakfast sandwich to the coconut rolls. The dulce de leche is incredibly good.”

“Best iced coffee I’ve ever had, I’ll be back our next Maui trip, every day!🫶🏻 Please get a location near Portland Oregon!😂🙏”

“Very friendly service. The recommendations were most helpful. And the food was great.”

“First food on the island. The Wicked Ahi Katsu was good. I would recommend the Poke Plates though. Atmosphere was great with shade and chickens roaming. Ono Tacos was good as well. The steak tacos were alright but the chicken was much better. All around, good experience and would recommend for those looking for something close to the airport area.”

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

“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 🤙🏽”

“This is a MUST! Check it out!”

“We loved the local coffee”

“Auténtica comida Mexicana! Totalmente recomendable! Authentic Mexican food! Totally recommended!”

“We’re so glad to see Cupies made it through the covid times. Great food, variety of prices. Good service. One of our favorite places on Maui.”

“Staff great of ono Foods!”

“This place is amazing! Service was quick and good and the girl that served me was really kind, and helpful since it was my first time I wasn't sure how to order, but she made sure I understood and went with my preferences. I believe her name was Kristine, she was very sweet. Food tasted great and would definitely recommend”

“Really good Filipino food. Extra large servings! Freshly cooked so it was a bit of a wait but very much worth the time. Our group of 10 people really enjoyed all the dishes especially the grilled pork, pompano and bangus. Forgot to take photos of the food as we dug right in! Worth the trip! Jayboy himself cooked the dishes then came out to have a nice chat with our group. Friendly guy.”

“Came all the way from West Palm Beach Florida on a cruise when we saw them on YouTube video. Was definitely worth the trip. The pastrami grilled cheese was the best I ha e ever had. 10 out of 10”

“The BEST Thai I have ever had!🙏”

“Delicious crispy chicken, and awesome tornado potato. Will definitely be repeat customers 🐓”

“One of the best katsu curry rice I've ever had in my life. It was so crispy, the curry was spicy (I asked for spicy), food was quick. It's not a fancy place, but it's super delicious”

“Amazing management and staff. Eleu was telling me about how people come in from all around the country. Comments like this is the Cleanest CFA, kindest…Well I’ve never been to one with rude customer service. Anyhow he suggested I try the Banana pudding milkshake, amazing. Now I need to marry this milkshake ‘cause I love it so much. So ‘ono!”

“Awesome set up and great variety of food. This is a very well organized food truck court near the airport with lots of covered tables and several food trucks to choose from. We went on a Thursday night when they have live music (Three to Five - great local band!) and enjoyed a few different dishes from Thai Mee Up and Havens. All was delicious, fairly priced and ready in a reasonable time. We thoroughly enjoyed it and will be back for sure - lots more to try!”

“Biggest Burger I've ever had and it was so delicious!”

“Easily the most authentic Japanese food. Their chicken katsu curry is a must have item. The fresh tempura is always wonderful. We are truly lucky to have such a delicious food truck. Order by phone in advanced is always a good idea.”

“We found Massimo through google, he is a warm, friendly, and generous soul who make delicious crepes in just the way you like them! He also offered us some complimentary fresh focaccia which was so yummy too. Highly recommend if you are looking for a sweet treat, or ladies if you want to eat your feelings!!”

“I’ve been coming to Maui for 40 years- and hands-down, this is the best seared ahi plate. Incredible. Kihei location. Ahi tacos are fantastic too! I woke up this morning thinking about last night’s meal, so we came back today. Had to go back a second day in a row!”

“What a beautiful market! It is a gourmet supermarket with lots of high quality fruits & sandwiches, & bakery good! My favorite is this delicious Okinawa. Potatoes pie with coconut! It is layer of buttery crust, sweet potatoes and top it off coconut… it is so delicious! Brought this home for the family!!!”

“Amazing, genuinely have not had an experience with a restaurant this good since I was a kid. Everyone should eat here constantly this is lowkey the best restaurant on Maui.”

“I cried good tears this morning. I've never in my life cried because of how divine the food was. I ordered the crab cakes benedict, usually when I order crab cakes it's a hash brown with little bits of crab meat but this one is purely crab and it was so fresh like it was caught in the early hours before restaurant opened. Eggs were cooked to perfection and the hollandaise sauce was heavenly. It was love on a plate, my compliments to the chef! Service was absolutely wonderful, lovely and welcoming ladies. They were very attentive and efficient. Mahalo nui loa! 🌺”

“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.”

“Best pho I’ve had in a while. I had it take out and the portion was big!
Can’t wait to try other items from them.
Really really good. I got the beef meatball / brisket / rare beef and it was great.”

“best service ever. just like home!!!”

“Authentic Mexican food. Soooo good. Green salsa on point.”

“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.”

“Home away from home. Very friendly staff.”

“Great variety of poke, good value, and best poke I had on Maui! We ate here 3 times in 4 days. We tried the Ahi, blue fin, salmon, and marinated cucumber. I recommend them all! The service is quick and friendly. It is located inside a Foodland, and there is no seating.”

“Simply the best for any fundraiser and for your tummy too”

“Try it and you will love it”

“The chicken tacos were so good. Spicy chili and very reasonably priced. Friendly service.”

“I haven't visited their actual location yet but had one of their pies at Duke's Beach House in Kaanapali and found the chocolate Pono Pie at the Farmers Market in Kaanapali. So fricking good. I ate the chocolate one for breakfast this morning, went really well with my coffee? If you see these in any local shops or have the chance to visit this location, do it. You won't be disappointed!!!

Dietary restrictions: Everything is gluten, dairy and cane sugar free. Sweetened with honey, it's perfect. They do use macadamia nut milk and macadamia nuts so if you avoid tree nuts don't eat these”

“Prices are good because it's costco. Pizza has more crust than California costco pizzas. Hot dogs are the same. Staff is not overly friendly but they get the job done. They need more tables for people to sit and eat.”

“5 stars to the guy who said croissant with an accent this Morning while taking our drive thru order! Never got his name, but it was the highlight of our morning, coffee was great and so was the croissant!”

“Chicken Katzu,rice and macaroni salad was really nice for me,tasted great,wasn’t greasy as it is on other places and wasn’t too much of mayo on the macaroni,I liked it.
For a quick lunch it was awesome.”

“Austina's has been our go-to place to eat at the Maui Swap Meet. Garlic fried rice and eggplant omelet are so good with a cup of fresh coffee. Lumpia is very good as well. They serve different kakanin (Filipino snacks) also. I don't know if they still served the famous Maui Swap Meet garlic noodles, that's also a must try.”

“I really love there customer service. No matter how many times I've ask for a sample (i'm a very picky eater) they never failed to give a great customer service. I've been here many times before and there ice cream are over the top. Please do not hesitate to visit; their price is reasonable, especially the amount of ice cream in one scoop. Every worker I've seen are very polite, especially there new worker, whom I think is named Jhasmine. Nevertheless 5/5.”

“I like this place. I always order ahead and they got my order wrong only once. I always order my Frappuccino without whip cream. They're always friendly and nice. They always greet and thank me when I pick up my order.”

“It’s unique, creative and soooo ono! Support local small businesses.”

“First time customers tonight and absolutely loved this place! Avery was very knowledgeable about the menu and made great suggestions His partner Jeremy rounded out our five star experience and we will be back before leaving for the mainland! Delicious 😋 😋”

“For a fast food place his place has really good chicken and waffles. I went to Maui in mid March 2025 and stopped here first before anything else fresh off the plane.”

“Food is great! Went thru the location in Maui, wish they had more sauces besides their own! like honey mustard, ranch. And to give out napkins at drive thru window!”

“This Texas Girl, living currently on Oahu--vacationing on Maui, has struggled to find good Mexican food.
But my family of 4 absolutely loved everything we had here! Highly recommend!!!!
The customer service was also very friendly.
Mahalo y'all. We enjoyed every bite.
Be blessed.”

“I went in yesterday on5/13 @ 3:00 in da afternoon Service was ok But the lady that served me needs to smile more”

“Clean, bright, and good vibes all around. A great spot to chill and enjoy some spicy food. Laid-back atmosphere with good music and a welcoming feel. The chicken was perfectly crispy and juicy—easily some of the best Nashville-style hot chicken I’ve had!”

“Got the unagi donburi and it was super delicious. Excellent balance in the portions and top notch eel. The salad had a tasty orange dressing that cut through the eel’s fattiness nicely. I’m gunna keep seeking out this place when I’m back at the food truck oasis!”

“In the realm of fast food options, I consistently rely on Pandas due to its unwavering consistency. This reliability is of utmost importance to me, as it ensures a predictable and satisfactory dining experience.”

“I really enjoyed their teriyaki chicken and the noodles,it wasn't greasy and oily like in the other branches,also I was surprised that it wasn't too expensive as everything in Maui is.”

“Great food! Excellent staff! Accommodated very hard food limitations, including vegan + no sugar. AND sent us our forgotten credit card. GREAT RESTAURANT ALL AROUND! ✨🙏🏼✨”

“Went to dinner here as a family of 5, kids are 7-11yrs old so we decided to share given the size of the portions around us. Had the shrimp fried rice, veggie spring rolls, side of chicken katsu and the combo with ramen & karaage. Didn't get to take a picture due to everyone scarfing it all down lol. Kids kept saying they wanted to come back again to try new things. Great place, authentic Japanese atmosphere , food was great and came fast to the table.”

“Tempura Tacos are the bomb 💣”

“I've boeen to a lot of Taco Bells and this is definitely the best one. A lot of reviews seem to be giving lower stars just because it's a Taco Bell, but keeping in mind that it is a Taco Bell, among Taco Bells this is definitely a top tier one”

“Great food amazing service”

“This is Kahului's original location. It was completely rebuilt a few years ago. Not having them around for several months was torture! Nothing really beneficial was accomplished aside from looking prettier. The drive thru is still narrow and the dining room the same size.

I have favorites, like everyone else does. First and foremost, I'm ecstatic they brought back the Mexican Pizza.

If you're missing the MexiMelt, order the Cheesy Rollup and add ground beef & pico. It tastes 99% the same.

Crunchy tacos never disappoint.

TIP:
Order via the app to earn points, save time and once in a while be treated to app-exclusive items.”

“I normally order the Italian sub, but this time I went with the chicken salad sub. I wouldn't recommend this at all. Not much flavor, just pretty blan. Kinda disappointed considering how good the Italian was.”

“Like Chipotle but with fresher, more unique ingredients. We liked the papaya salad, goddess salad, and ahi melt. Lots of GF options, including GF wraps. Sign up for the rewards program and get a free cookie!”

“Excellent food and service”
