“Get here before the lunch rush and you’ll get a seat, no problem. A local recommended this spot & it did not disappoint. Extensive menu and we ordered the Chicken Katsu & Chicken Katsu Curry. Both were delicious & portion size was perfect for us. Excited to come back & try other menu items!“

“A little hole in the wall Maui gem of a restaurant!
No frills menu, on point on taste, generous portion, very consistent gratifying taste on all their dishes, affordable price and excellent service!
Been to many places within and outside US… Ramen Ya’s fried rice is something to brag about.“

“This ramen place is amazing. We had gyoza, perfectly cooked and obviously made from scratch in house. Also had the pork udon and veggie ramen, both sauces and noodles were excellent.
Service was quick, friendly, and efficient. Also a great $ deal!“

“Staff great of ono Foods!“

“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!“

“The “mini bullet train” delivery is absolutely the fun part, and it made this a memorable lunch stop. We tried jalapeño ahi nigiri, garlic tamago nigiri, Spam nigiri, plus a dragon roll and a spicy tuna option, and we walked away feeling like the novelty is stronger than the value. We wouldn’t call it bad, but for us it’s probably a “once in a while” spot rather than a must-do.
We featured it in our YouTube video, search for “Replicate the Magic” on YouTube to find it.“

“The cream puffs are action! So good!!“

“My husband and I went here right after we landed because it was on the way to our hotel.

It’s a hole-in-the-wall place and we both got the chicken katsu. He got the kimchi as a side and I got the salted cabbage. Both were delicious!

Would go back again to try more dishes.“

“Just arrived on Maui, visiting from NY, selective about food. Was looking for dinner late in the evening and found Lono Blue on google. Ordered Dragon roll and gyoza by phone for pickup. I was a little taken aback because it was a food truck…. But wow! The roll was fabulous & fresh with the rice cooked perfectly, gyoza was authentic, they were very pleasant with wonderful service. Will be coming back to try more, and “eat in” at the outdoor tables. Thank you!“

“best casual meal on maui this year’s maui trip (i visit family every year). we got the keyakiya chicken — great texture (not dry), umami, sweet, and very lightly breaded (i don’t like thicc breading). i can’t wait until next year’s maui trip ?check their IG. sometimes they don’t come if the weather is bad. @keyakiyamaui

“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.“

“What a lovely little restaurant with amazing vegan ramen soup and delicious mochi dessert. We loved it! Beautiful and friendly folks! So enjoyable! Mahalo!“

“The food is good, the portions large. The menu has 127 items, while not all are available, it is still impressive. And difficult to choose. The butterfish it's exactly that, butter soft and delicious. Sushi portions are too big for a single bite.“

“Hard to find good decent place to eat in upcountry but Tun’s Kohima restaurant has good food, nice and cozy setting, menu is big, lots of options and friendly staffs!!“

“Teishokus are the Go To! The tempura is other-worldly delicious!“

“I've been eating sushi for many years and is the best I've ever found. It is so fresh and beyond excellent. The service is great and the chef will make whatever special requests you want. The Hamachi sashimi is amazing and the soft shell hand roll is perfect. My family and I come here again and again. Don't miss it!“

“Food: 8/10
Service: 8/10
Atmo: 9/10

Tried their dry mein and it was OK.
The beef skewer was the best, by far.
The manju was really different and interesting.

Service felt a bit stretched thin but we received our food relatively quickly, considering how packed they were. We had ab a 20min wait to get in on a Wed morning just before Noon,“

“Great Time! Come early. Make Reservations“
