“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!”

Restaurants by Cuisine
“One of the best meals during a 4 day stay on Maui. Interesting and unique flavors. Better food than “fancy” places like Morimoto or Humumaui at Grand Wailea.”
“This was an unresearched, last minute stop before our flight and what a happy accident! The Mongolian beef and basil chicken were both amazing. Fast and friendly service. So delicious!”
Restaurants with Delivery

“We got Mochiko Chicken with Hapa rice which had a delicious sauce, my husband LOVED it, I also liked it a lot. We also got pork belly with garlic noodles which had a nice mix of vegetables, it was ok for me. Mac salad was also nice to have on the side for $2. Wait after ordering can take up to 10 minutes and the outdoor eating area can get crowded. A good stop though, recommended by a local, which is how I found it.
Parking: Parking lot can get tight, but usually there’s always a few spots. The outdoor sitting area is a fenced portion of the lot.”
“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.”

“Amazing coffee and great service. I got the NOLA, and it is perfectly sweetened with the perfect amount of espresso flavor. I wish I had one of these where I live. When I come back to Maui, this will be one of my first stops.”
“This one is the best shave ice we have tasted so far. The shave ice is really smooth. There are only two choices, pineapple and strawberry and both flavors are really very good. The tajin powder is an added bonus to improve the taste.”
“Food came out right on time and is SO DELICIOUS!!!! I still dream about the garlic shrimp and highly highly recommend it. Pics aren't the best because we already inhaled half our food before I realized I NEED to take pics and give a positive review”
“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!!!”
“Great variety of food. Vegan to fish and chicken. Delicious!”
“Fabulous lunch - we go every year and this year's theme was Asian. All courses were creative and delicious. Loved the Kona Kanpachi and sauce as well as the Galbi Jjim. Wonderful dessert and staff of students were knowledgeable and friendly. Our server Emma was nice and Peyton gave us so much information on the dishes - and had a great smile! Great to catch up with Mark again too and Head Chef Peter Pak came by to be sure all was o.k. for us - how could it not be??!! Wish we could be there next week for the Italian theme but we'll be back next year. Sorry entree photos I took wouldn't upload to Open Table.”
“It was my younger daughter birthday and it was her first time in there we really enjoyed the whole dinner delicious nothing left eat every bit of it thats how great it was thank you so much for the service tips 22 dollars it was worth it for the Lady she help us Mahalo nui yall we will be back”

“This was the best tasting McDonald’s food I’ve had in literally decades. Service at 10pm was fast and friendly. Other McDonald’s locations could learn a thing or two from this one!”
“The food was great for a fast food restaurant. The atmosphere was reasonably okay, and the place was relatively clean. Access to the bathroom required a key from the front desk, which is unusual for me as a visitor here in Hawaii. Typically, fast food restaurant in my home city in Wisconsin do not have their bathrooms locked during business hours.”
“Finally, Dairy Rd does an awesome job tonight and restored my faith in coming back (2 Christmas’s ago, I ordered a large quantity of filet o fish and ALL of them got shoved into 1 bag & you can see a perfect indent of someone’s fist on one of the boxes… yes, that got posted as well). But like any popular trademark fast food chain, it’s difficult to stop going to buy everyone’s favorite fast meal. Back to the main reason… 9:25PM, before leaving to pick up my son from work, we all chose to order basically the same thing… three 20 piece chicken nuggets, two large fries, two large sodas, and a large slushie. Over there at the Puunene one, I never have to add extra ice because they put a good amount. On Dairy Rd, I add it so it can have a decent amount too. So, almost $56 later, and getting my son… right as I’m about to turn in, my other son tells me that the ‘I’m here’ button is gone and the whole order disappeared. 10:05PM, parked at the #1 curbside at Puunene McDonalds, I see an email stating that here was a detailed receipt of my cancelled items, that it just might take 5 to 15 days to get my $56 back depending on my bank. After the receipt, it reads, “We hope you enjoyed your experience, and look forward to serving you again, soon!” Seriously?!? I have two almost adult teenagers hungry in the car, plus myself, it was now getting closer to 10:30PM, and MAYBE it might take up to TWO WEEKS and a day for me to see my $56 back in my hands… I did NOT enjoy my experience tonight. I’m just happy that since using Venmo instead of my bank card, I got my money back right away to be able to order our meal from the Dairy Rd. location. I know that not all McDonald’s on Maui aren’t connected, but they still represent (and are the face of) the franchise. They’re the ones that are here to provide the McDonald’s service I’m sure was founded from the very beginning. And I’m pretty sure that no one who’s with their offsprings at an almost late hour and hungry, would be okay with NOT getting a reason why the order was cancelled… heck! Parked at stall 1 we watched the long *ss line in drive thru being helped and served… so my sons said to me while heading to Dairy Rd., that the Puunene location JUST DIDNT WANT TO MAKE THE CHICKEN NUGGETS. No explanation, we come up with our own explanation. Dairy Rd, I sometimes purposely skip you (even if it’ll be convenient and faster for me) and go to the other. But tonight I am the happiest I’ve ever been since last year in September. I’ll order from you guys again, and I’m sorry for going to the other one. ‘Kay, I’m done venting and eating. Now it’s 11:12PM and it’s time to leave McDonald’s. AND FYI, I DON’T CARE IF I SOUND SILLY. TRY BEING LET DOWN EVERY SINGLE TIME FOR DECADES.”
“I recently visited Huong Nam and had an amazing experience! The broth was rich and flavorful, with just the right amount of spice. The beef was tender and perfectly cooked, and the fresh herbs and vegetables added a wonderful freshness to the dish. The service was friendly and attentive, making the overall dining experience even better. Definitely recommend this spot for authentic and delicious Vietnamese cuisine❤️”
“Delicious Korean food at the food court mall! I got the special combo with meat jun 고기전 and bbq chicken 치킨갈비. Also comes with kimchi and various vegetables.
Portions are massive and the taste is great.”
“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!”

“Finally got to try Ahonui. Had the protein focaccia sandwich. The focaccia was the best I’ve ever had. Excellent textures and flavors. Great environment as well”
“5star bases on Kauai Pork and hamburger steak. We had some amazing food in maui, including some viral places on the internet, but this one is definitely a sleeper. Why does it have only 39 review? No idea.”
“great service, yummy food, convenient and over all great prices with plàtes loaded with yumminess. definitely recommend for a refresher the watermelon otai. on point”
“Kevin at Kula CBD is extremely helpful and is a great guy to visit. Very knoledgable and is originally from BC so you Vancouverites need to stop here for the good food ?”
“Had the pork belly with tomatoes and onions, food was amazing. Literally left Fleetwood’s because their lunch menu was boring. Jayboy’s photos alone had me sold. If you’re on the island, stop by your local food truck because that’s where the flavor is.”
“Auténtica comida Mexicana! Totalmente recomendable! Authentic Mexican food! Totally recommended!”
“Very friendly service. The recommendations were most helpful. And the food was great.”
“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 most delicious media lunas! Everything delicious from the breakfast sandwich to the coconut rolls. The dulce de leche is incredibly good.”
“Great friendly service. Food is delicious and the strawberry shakes are yummy too. Real chicken not blended chicken paste.”
“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.”
“When I turn on my computer to get work done, I get all the privacy I need; plus the convenience of buying food or drink when I need it. People are usually sparse enough to get a seat next A/C plug, and the WiFi has been consistent—not having to fight for shared broadband. Also, I find most patrons to be respectful and courteous. The place is always clean, and the air-conditioning much-welcomed for the increasing heat that comes with the onset of the Summer months here in Hawai‘i…”
“Great experience: good food and variety with good prices and large portions. It is located inside the mall
Parking: Wide parking outside the mall”
“Friendly fast coffees served up with spacious interior to drink your beverage. Don’t forget to purchase some Starbucks gift cards with Hawaiian designs to take back with you for souvenirs of Hawaii that last! In past years they had a hula girl image. This year it’s the state of Hawaii with a bird and a rainbow !”
“Recently visited Taco Bell and had a really enjoyable experience. The food was delicious, exceeding my expectations for fast food. I tried lots of food, and it was flavorful and well-prepared. The service was quick and friendly, which added to the overall positive experience. The restaurant was clean and well-maintained, creating a comfortable dining atmosphere. Overall, I'm impressed with the quality and service at this Taco Bell location and would definitely recommend it to anyone craving tasty and affordable fast food.. fyi.. no bathrooms there”
“Love the fact Jollibee has been available on Maui! The staff is awesome as well as the food. Sometimes there is a wait time but that's because there's a line or they're making a fresh batch.
Parking: Most customers do not park they go through the drive-thru. The parking lot is shared between other nearby businesses but there is always a lot of parking.”
“I like to order on the app because I don't have to remember what everyone else wants to order & to constantly have to ask them what they want. But that doesn't mean the staff will get the order correctly. Lately, my online order has been done incorrectly even though on the receipt, it states my order correctly.”
“The Maui Snack Bar is situated inside of the Maui international/ domestic airport. If there's one place I recommend go stop by, it is here. From drinks to a vast variety of food, the Maui Snack Bar have it all. The staff was friendly and the bar manager was amazingly friendly ans talkative.”
“Good food. Good people. Every easy to talk too. Good prices.”
“Margaritas were Delicious ! Food was quick, hot, great selection. Service was friendly and very attentive. Great break in the day. Reasonable price and Happy Hour options. ”

“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.”
“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!”
“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!”
“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.”
“This Costco food court does require a review. It was an unique seating experience. The food court is out of the Costco club. There are some hens and chicken roaming free. You do need the membership ship card while you order on the counter.
Vegetarian options: Just a cheese pizza”
“I bought lots of beans to take home. Got two cups of drip with the beans. Excellent coffee!”
“Great variety of food. Vegan to fish and chicken. Delicious!”
“The chicken tacos were so good. Spicy chili and very reasonably priced. Friendly service.”
“Great food especially for the price! Food was out super quick and everyone was super nice! Family owned which is also awesome. I'd suggest the ramen! The sushi was also good!”
“It's in the mall... but really unique, good tasting corn dogs. It's hard to do anything unique, but they have, and they were good!
We tried 4 different ones.
Original, hot cheetahs, fruity pebbles and potatoes. They were all good!”
“Biggest Burger I've ever had and it was so delicious!”
“I love this place/area with their best and I mean the best/bestest/or even a better home sweet home.....
Parking: In the low-income housing, apartments, units, & etc. Even apartments that have a parking garage under a structure or no structure at all to do so.....
Kid-friendliness: Get A lot of Candies, Sweets, Chocolates, Sweet Tarts, & Sour Gummies/& Worms in a process for the progress that's made & did make no matter what has happened.....
Wheelchair accessibility: N/A.”
“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.”
“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!”
“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.”
“Sammy's Beach Bar & Grill is well decorated, has a nice atmosphere, and has very convenient chargers at the booths (the patio ones, I am not sure about inside).
The food was OK. Portions are fairly small for the price. Even when the restaurant was not very busy, the service was not the greatest (which can be stressful if you are catching a flight and have limited time - thankfully, I had lots of time !!).
All in all, I was very comfortable on their patio and was able to charge my phone while eating a fairly decent meal and wine. Which made me happy! And...I would go back. It's likely the best option in the airport, not quite 5 Star, in my opinion, but absolutely has the potential with better service and larger portions?”
“If you’re vacationing with kids in Maui, it’s a great place to eat. Good food. Good service. A TRAIN that brings out the food! The kids love it!
Kid-friendliness: Kids love the train that serves the food.
Wheelchair accessibility: Easy access!”
“The service here was amazing. They tried as hard as they could to cater to an allergy, and double checked everything to be as sure as they could that it'd be safe. The food was decent, and probably among the better options if you're stuck in the airport like we were.”
Latest Reviews
“It was a pleasant surprise to find clean rooms, pleasant helpful people, and could actually have fun, albeit, there are always "those people"! Maui without roaches? They were here first! No AC? I didn't stay in the room Ling enough! Too much to see! Why does every hotel have to conform to being quiet, not having fun, fake smiles and mean people! Maybe we have forgotten to be social and kind!? Lighten up, live and let live, means mind your own business. Especially them Christian folks! Judgy, that do not walk as Jesus did, the judge a the pharisees did! Ignorance is bliss! Human nature is ugly! Great time! Great Place! $$$! Everything here is double the price! Get over it!”

“Finally for the first time I used the drive-up and was pleasantly surprised. The convenience of ordering from my car was perfect, especially with the two hungry and tired little kids. The staff was friendly and efficient, getting our food out fast. Oredered the kids meal but they ran out of it, instead they gave extra ice cream. The kids were thrilled but I wish I was given a choice as I don't really like to give my kids a lot of sweets before bedtime. But the food was delicious and I’d definitely recommend this spot for anyone looking for quick, delicious, and convenient bites on the go!”

“Along with lemonade, the main selection of crepes you can find at Massimo's come in both savory and sweet options - me and a friend got the nutella one with bananas and strawberries, and a really tangy one that had barbecue sauce I believe - everything made for a perfect lunch and would definitely come back again!
