The food here is so so tasty and handmade with love and organic fresh ingredients and flavors! The people that work here put so much love to the food and it shows! Everything is 100% plantbased and anything even the lemonades that are made there taste amazing! Definitely CANNOT miss out on the chipa waffle!!!!! It is so so good and packed with a rainbow of flavors and the owners are amazing and put so much love to everything as well. The matcha is to DIE for as well! I went today after my 100th chipa of the year and of course it was amazing. Go check it out, you wont regret it 💚🌀😊🍄“

“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.“

“No artificial colors or flavors = delicious! We are here on vacation and had never had Ululani's before. She recommended that I try the Sunset Beach with Coconut Ice Cream as the base and sweetened condensed milk as a topping; it was fabulous!! Thank you! We'll be back!“

“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!“

“Overall good meal, very sweet and friendly staff. I wanted to try a couple things so got the combo plate, the ahi was on the extra cooked side but still had good flavor, the shrimp on the other hand was 🔥.
If I went back again and didn’t try another option I would go for just the shrimp plate, they were delicious.“

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

“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!“

“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.“

“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!“

“This is how you start your Maui trip. The mochiko chicken was amazing, but what really stole the show was the eggplant omelet. I never would’ve thought of that combination, but it was beautifully done—perfectly seasoned and truly a match made in heaven. It paired surprisingly well with the mac salad too. Highly recommend stopping here early in your trip!“

“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“

“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.“

“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!!!“

“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!“
