“8/10
- mochiko chicken over garlic noodles 7.5/10: chicken was a bit dry... flavor was good though. garlic noodles tasted kinda old and dry as well. still yummy though!
- ramen meh 6/10: too fishy for my liking
- poke 9/10: great quality tuna, slimey and no mush. the sauce was also fire and there were little mochi crackers sprinkled inside. my favorite dish from here by far!
- fish sando 7.5/10 thin cut of fish but tasty. not too flavorful. more bread than fish but still good. bread was buttery.“

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

“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 🎉“

“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.“

“These are good people!!!! We were traveling through and our water bottles were empty ... there were no public water dispensers and a nice employee from here offered to fill our bottles for us ? what a sweet generous and kind employees you have! Thank you!!!“

“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! 🌺“

“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 !“

“Great meal and friendly service. It's nice to have a local restaurant that features local food at affordable prices. Please keep your establishment one of my favorites to go to. L&L always has a consistent delivery of tasty meals and their quality is superb.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Great food amazing service“

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

“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.“

“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.“
