“We've seen this restaurant come into Kihei and we're so glad we decided to experience the wonderful Moroccan cuisine! The food was absolutely delicious, and the belly dancers were beautiful and fun to watch! The owner and everyone were so pleasant! The whole experience was fabulous! Thank you! We will be back again!”
“Unbelievable experience. If you come to Maui and don’t dine here you will Be missing the meal of a lifetime and an incredible French bakery beside. You must go to Maui Gardens and experience his cooking.”

“When our friend suggested that we have lunch here, we were excited since we saw a few tiktoks talking about how great this place was. Everyone here were super friendly and it was a great. The food was fantastic. Our 2 year old nephew LOVED the Cajun rice and wated more. The French fries were crispy and delicious. But the fish..? I will go back to Hawaii just to have more.”
“This was an incredible experience and really enjoyed watching the kitchen work and getting to talk with chef Chance and other kitchen staff. We sat in front of the fish station and enjoyed watching and talking to Ian. I would highly recommend this experience.”
“A wonderful culinary experience. The entire menu is based on a fusion of Hawaiian culture. The pork belly bao buns, lavender honey crispy shrimp are out of this world. They do not fall short on great tasting entrees either. The seafood lau lau is absolutely delicious. Dinner wouldn’t be complete without exceptional drinks and dessert, which you can count on Kō serving.

“Really good Hawaiian fare. We love the kalua pork and teriyaki chicken. If you get katsu chicken ask for extra sauce as they don't give near enough. We get take out from here every time we come to Maui. We got three plates of food for 2 adults and 2 boys (11 and 13) and we had enough leftover for lunch the next day.”
“I know what you might be thinking when you see this place. Should I really bother trying to get genuine BBQ in Maui? Will this really stack up to a Carolina, Memphis, KC or Texas joint? Surprisingly, yes.
These folks know what they're doing, are super friendly, and their BBQ is legit. They're using local wood in their offsets too, so it is a unique experience compared to other places.
Can't go wrong with their ribs and I loved every side I tried, with the Mac n Cheese being a standout.”

“Last meal in Maui last night.i had the best slow roasted beef short ribs and I smoke meats at home in Connecticut. So delicious. My common law wife had a Eggplant dish that she also loved. Service was quick and friendly. No reservation needed. Walked in at 7pm on a Friday.”
“The food is great! Had the chicken shawarma wrap, tiramisu and mint Lemonade. Not only is the food great, the dude literally gave us chicken tenders and fries for our toddler who woke up at the end of our meal, on the house! Awesome place, clean, great service! If we weren’t from Michigan we’d be back frequently!”
“Spent an evening in Kihei from Lahaina, and stopped here for a bite to eat before a concert. The happy hour for locals lasts all day and night, they have great specials for food and drinks. Especially enjoyed our server Walter, he was awesome! Thank you for a great time”
“Wanted a nice meal at their restaurant & they put us in a tight table. I asked the hostess to please move us as there was a huge plant crowding Jon & almost getting into his face. The hostess retorted sarcastically, "we can move the plant.". How's that for keeping a patron happy 🤣 Tommy Bahama”
“I love Moose's for: the beautiful sunsets, delicious food, awesome atmosphere,welcoming staff (shout out to hard working wait staff, Amy and Laura!), & fun Trivia Night winning Moose Bucks! I highly recommend this watering hole and the wide variety of Happy Hour options! Check out Moose's! 🫎”
“We went to a local place for lunch that had great reviews and were very disappointed. Came across this amazing food truck and randomly ordered a few things……ended up coming back not even an hour later to order more. Great portions, food was so good! Made to order and so yummy! The wasabi cream sauce is 🤤🤤🤤 Give this truck a try! Best meal on Maui after a week of trying different local spots!”
“Super friendly waiters, fast on delivering food. High quality taste and even higher quality atmosphere. Highly recommend”

“This was maybe the best Açai bowl I have had. I got the large, which was perfect for two people. There was a good variety of options, and I liked the level of frozenness (if that's a word) the açai was so it didn't melt immediately. I got the one with cacao nibs and was pleased with the quality and the flavor.”

“I do not normally post reviews. (I believe this is my second one since my wife typically does the posting). But, this food is amazing. I went back a second time during my stay on the island because of the flavors, amount of food, cost, and extremely nice staff. So positive, friendly, and all around good vibes. I purchased the chicken burrito and corn in a cup twice. Excellent both times. This time around we added on the chicken taquitos. Also delicious. We recommend and would definitely go back.”
“Not kidding when I say this is top-tier Thai food in the US (and I've had lots of Thai food in NYC, Chicago, San Francisco, Seattle, etc., as well as in Bangkok). I went here for dinner for two days straight and tried the pad thai, pad see eiw, lobster rice, and pad khee mao. ALL of these dishes are great. Hands down the best food I had during my week in Maui.”
“Amazing! Great drinks bartender on point….Sushi chef on point…fantastic locally caught fresh fish! Best meal yet! Awesome staff! Thank you!”

“This is an unassuming restaurant located in a strip mall just off of the beautiful beaches of Kihei, Maui that offers delicious fish tacos, fresh ahi & shrimp salads and yummy poke. (I understand they have another location, not too far away that probably serves similar dishes.) The advantage of this location in particular, is the bakery downstairs that fills the air with the smell of the tastiest cinnamon rolls. The portions here are generous and the quality of the seafood is superb. No frills when it comes to service; place your order at the counter, find a seat & wait for it to be delivered to your table. We had a large party of 12 and were able to all sit together, a nice perk for us. But they did forget one person's order, which was kind of a bummer because he had to wait so long for his food, most of us were finished eating ours by the time his arrived. So we shared some of our food with him while he waited. Not a problem since the portions were so large. Overall, I recommend Coconuts Fish Cafe with two thumbs up.”
“Pizza Madness is the best pizza on Maui! Excellent crust, fresh toppings and delicious sauces, both the red and white Alfredo, a good choice with garlic chicken. They also serve up some fine buffalo wings and have a buy ten get one large free pizza deal along with other items for points. We mostly do takeout and the food is always hot and ready to go promptly. We highly recommend Pizza Madness, been going there for years and love it every time. Phil, Cris and Kyle, Kihei Maui.”

Fine Dining
“My husband and I eloped in Maui and wanted a small wedding cake for our special day. After exploring a few bakeries, we chose Maui Wedding Cakes because they seemed the most fresh, authentic, and unique. Casey was incredibly helpful in guiding us through flavor options. We selected vanilla cake with vanilla Italian buttercream frosting and whipped cream custard with lilikoi (Hawaiian passionfruit) filling. The cake was delivered to the restaurant where we had dinner after our ceremony, and it was stunning. When we took the first bite, we were amazed—it was hands down the best cake I’ve ever tasted. Casey is a true baking artist, and I'll be dreaming about that cake for years. If you're planning an event in Maui, I highly recommend Maui Wedding Cakes. You won't regret it.”
“The luau at gilligans was absolutely amazing!! The staff is an amazing group of people, very friendly and inviting, the luau was interactive and at the end we felt like old friends! The food was plentiful and amazing and the drinks were even more so!! Would recommend if you’re looking for a smaller more intimate luau.”
“Superb service, delicious food, cocktails and desserts! Wonderful ambience.”

“I have had several opportunities to eat these unique and delicious cookies. I was attending a wedding and they were part of the dessert table. Then I received a batch as a gift. I plan to buy several gift cards to pass on to family and friends so they can also try this delicious treat”
“Several dishes on the menu can be made vegan, with 10 spice levels to choose from! The portions are generous, providing excellent value, and the food was incredibly delicious. You can also easily customize your vegan order on their website (except papaya salad).”
“This is a true local dive bar — not fancy or upscale, but exactly what you want if you're looking for a friendly atmosphere and great drink prices. I had a lot of fun chatting with the locals, and all the bartenders were awesome. Special shoutout to Dylan, the manager, who made the experience even better. Definitely worth checking out if you're in the area.”
“We had a fantastic experience today at Beach Street Maui Shave Ice! From the moment we arrived, the staff was amazing—so friendly and welcoming. We started our day with their delicious açaí bowls and bagels for breakfast, and everything was fresh and flavorful. Later in the afternoon, we came back to try their famous shave ice, and it did not disappoint!
The shave ice was incredible we tried HAWAIIAN RAINBOW, COCONUT MUD PIE, FIRECRACKER, and KIHEI SUNSET with vibrant flavors and fun toppings, definitely worth taking the time to try.
Beach Street Maui Shave Ice is a must-visit when in Kihei—whether you’re grabbing breakfast or treating yourself to some shave ice, the quality and service make it an unforgettable stop!”
“Lots of flavor options for ice cream and candy. The dole whip comes in 3 flavors, I wanted pineapple, there was a miscommunication in the flavor and the server gave me strawberry, but she was ok with fixing it and giving me the classic. Thank you so much. 😊 🍍”
“This is a great place to bring a group of people with multiple dietary preferences. The menu is extensive and the food is delicious. The owners have a great sense of style and humor- quirky and fun!”

“Amazing service, food, drinks and sunset views. Kai Bar is a hidden gem in Wailea located at the AC hotel. We came back on a second night because we had such an amazing experience and sunset views. I highly recommend the Chicken Katsu sandwich and the Kai sliders. The servers did such a wonderful job both nights.”
