32 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Kahului

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

“We loved this vegan truck every time we visited, as our first stop and our last before flying out, for lunch. However, we got here this year and they NO LONGER SERVE FOOD, so just note. They are a delicious little ice cream shop only now. Still good, but we definitely missed the chippa waffle and burger. Had to find somewhere else to eat vegan on the way to the west side of the island.“

“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.“

“Visiting the Cat Cafe was truly one of the highlights of our trip to Hawaii! The staff was incredibly welcoming and kind, and it’s clear they genuinely care about the cats. The kittens all looked healthy, happy, and well cared for. The space itself feels like a little paradise designed just for the cats—cozy, clean, and full of fun spots for them to explore or nap in. We loved how thoughtful the place was, even asking guests to wear clean socks upon arrival to keep the environment safe and comfortable for everyone. If you're an animal lover or just looking for a unique, heartwarming experience, this place is a must. We strongly recommend stopping by the Cat Cafe—you won’t regret it!“

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

“Easy to find food truck in the Lowe’s parking lot. We ordered two ahi plates, and one shrimp plate. They kindly accommodated a request for all salad on one plate. All plates were flavorful, although the ahi was very overcooked. Visited around 3pm on a weekday, only one person in line and still had a long wait for the food. They were kind and apologized for the wait though. Mahalo!“

“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 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!“

“First time in Maui and found this gem! Delicious mochi! The white chocolate dipping sauce with the poi Mochi was delicious and the lychee with the pog sauce was wonderful!“

“By far the BEST food we had on our trip, and probably some of the best Thai food I’ve had period. Lots of vegetarian options, I got the orange tofu bao buns and vegan spring rolls, which were basically perfect. The dining area is small but uniquely decorated in a fun retro-80s theme, and ordering is done by QR code. Service is fast and friendly. Highly recommend making the stop if you’re visiting Maui, or even just a local who hasn’t been yet. It’s great!“

“I was told to try this place by a friend from the area and I’m glad I did! I got the “Lahaina” (pineapple, coconut, and banana) with vanilla ice cream on the bottom and the “snow cap” (sweetened condensed milk mixture) on top. It was amazing! The line was pretty long so there was definitely a wait, but it was worth it!“

“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.“

“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!“

“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“

“Absolutely amazing food, friendly owner and fabulous outdoor seating area with a great vibe. We love this place. We ordered a chicken burrito and a chicken taco combo plate and everything was delicious. We will be back again next time we are visiting.“

“We had already ordered poke and a drink at two food trucks when we walked by and saw lumpia on the menu so we had to get it! I didn’t have cash, but they let me order the $5 lumpia side anyway on my credit card. No line, so it was fried fresh and ready in about five minutes. Three pieces of lumpia, they had a good amount of pork and veggie filling, this reminded me of mom’s style of lumpia. Their vinegar dipping sauce was good, but a little non traditional from what I’m used to. It had a spicy kick to it, tasted like Tabasco was added. I’d love to come back sometime to try their entrees! Mahalo“

“Delicious! We ate here twice, and made it our last meal in Maui before heading home.“

“Nachos are the bomb.com 💣.. can you guys just post a time when you're open me working at FedEx there's a lot of places that are open at the time we take our early morning lunch so we would just like to know - thank you for your service“

“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 pulled pork buns and macaroni salad (didn’t know that was included) were OUT OF THIS WORLD! Price is right and the food is fresh and delicious. I spoke to the owner and she said the sauce is homemade and the pork is their specialty. I can’t recommend highly enough.“

“Walk right past the long line at Starbucks and go here for your pre flight coffee. Even if not leaving from this terminal, it’s air conditioned, shorter wait, better coffee and a seating area where you can look over the West Maui mountains, weep over needing to leave and plan your next trip back.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Got ribs and slaw today. Fed two people. Recommend it. Gary seems good people. Looking forward to going back.“

“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!“

“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! 🌺“

“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.“

“I'd give more stars if I could. Started coming here back in 2022 on a weekly basis for a good 2 years. Left the island for awhile and when I came back this place was first in my list. I was surprised that the owner still recognized me when I walked in the door. As always the food service and atmosphere is unmatched. If youre looking for a nice family run buisness with food made with love. Ya gotta come here“
