28 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Kahului

“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.“

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

“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.“

“If you're looking for shave ice in Maui, then hit this spot. Refreshing flavors and tons of options to choose from. I've tried the POG, Grape and Litchi flavors. Litchi was my top favorite. If you like mochi, don't forget to top yours with mochi on top. But the place is quite popular and there's always a wait but the line moves quickly though because their service is pretty quick!“

“We visited Cat Cafe Maui before our flight home. Playing with the kitties was so relaxing and so calming. It put me in the exact right mindset before the long flight over the Pacific. The staff is gracious and welcoming, and the kitty cats were amazing! Five stars!“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“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 🤙🏽“

“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!“

“Absolutely Unforgettable Thai Experience in Maui!

My Thai near the Maui airport completely blew us away. We tried the Thai tea, spring rolls, Thai fried rice, basil fried rice, and plain noodles for my son—and every single dish was exceptional. The flavors were so rich, balanced, and authentic that I can confidently say I’ve never tasted Thai food like this in my last 15 years.

What truly sets this place apart is not just the food, but the hospitality. The owner personally shared that some of the dishes are their own non-recipe creations, and you can genuinely taste the passion and originality in every bite.

And the coconut tapioca pudding—wow. It deserves a special mention because it was simply out of this world. One of the best desserts I’ve ever had, Thai or otherwise.

If you’re anywhere near the airport or visiting Maui, this place is an absolute must-visit. Incredible food, warm service, and a dining experience we’ll remember long after our trip. We’ll definitely be back on our next visit to Maui! 🙏🇹🇭🍽️“

“The BEST Thai I have ever had!🙏“

“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.“

“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!!!“

“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.“

“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“

“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!“

“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

Parking: park along kahului beach for free“

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

“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!“

“Excellent fish & shrimp tacos and friendly owners. Salsa verde and avocado crema were delicious. Don’t miss this taco - delicious! Formerly in Lahaina, now located in Kahului (53 Puunene Ave) Worth the effort to find them…thank you!!“

“One of the best hidden gems on maui. If looking for amazing korean meal, Pearls is unmatched. Don't let the term fast food turn you away- there is no better fast food on Earth. The food is actually real food, quick, and authentic Korean. Every dish is amazing. AND YOU GET 4 SIDES! One $20 plate is at least 2 meals, even for a big hungry moke.“

“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.“

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

“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! 🌺“

“Family friendly place. All soup base was pork and we don't eat pork. They were able to do water base. On the seaweed and egg soup. Did the fried chicken but I think they use same oil for pork for the chicken because it had a taste that was not right.
They were very nice and helpful so we had the soup , veggies and drinks. Paid for the chicken didn't want to be any more trouble.“

“We stumbled across this place after a shore excursion dropped us off at the mall. We have Thai once a month or so in the Midwest so we weren't sure what to expect for Thai in Hawaii. I don't know how to describe it other than to say it tasted fresher and more flavor-ful. We saw staff from the ship here, so we knew this had to be a great spot. So glad we stopped in!“
