“We live in Kihei and order pick-up from 808 Deli at least once a week, usually more often. Healthy, fresh, creative, delicious food.”

“If there were only one restaurant to eat at on Maui, for us it would be this beautiful restaurant set in a gorgeous setting of old Maui (at the Valley end of the foothills of the West Maui mountains), which serves the most incredibly presented and quite exceptionally delicious meals we’ve had, served by some of the best cooks, wait staff and owners we’ve seen anywhere…and we’ve been everywhere🤙🏼 LuckyweliveHawaii🌹indeed!”

“Couldn’t say enough good things about this place. Loved it so much. Great coffee and the nicest people working there.”

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

“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!”

“I am an established “FOODIE” and have traveled the world eating at some of the best restaurants in the world. This dinner, while expensive, was genuinely one of the best meals and experiences I’ve ever had! I sat near the kitchen for about 3 hours and wish I could go back. Everyone was friendly, talkative, and informative. This was an amazing night, amazing atmosphere, and EXCELLENT food and drink! I will be coming back any and every time I am in Maui. I could not recommend this place and experience more! 100/10”

“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!”

“One of the most amazing dinners I have ever had. Service was amazing, and some of the yummiest food I have had on Maui. The lamb ribs are a must try. The 2lb Wagyu tomahawk is more than enough food for two people. We loved our time here and can’t wait to come back.

Also for those wondering, all of the Wagyu is halal, and so is the lamb. They will also cook everything separately if you let them know you have a pork allergy. Phenomenal service.”

“Unbelievable Omakase! Like eating in Japan, but in Maui! Truly a legit sushi experience. Almost all the fish & ingredients are either from Japan or local sourced. Truly a ‘must go’ on Maui. Can’t wait to go again!”

“Service was fantastic. Very quick and attentive service. Highly recommended”

“Absolutely loved lunch here so much that we went back twice! The views and food are incredible. Highly recommend the seafood Cobb salad and the frutti di mare pasta. The calamari and eggplant appetizers were incredible, too. Definitely worth a visit!”

“Great food, great drinks... extremely accommodating bartender 💚💚. Had the best time on our last night in Maui 🤙”

“The mole and Tacos are delicious”

“We used the swim-up bar to enjoy some cocktails. I wanted to give a shout-out to the lady and man bartenders working on Friday, Dec 12 evening who was really nice, warm and friendly. Sorry I didn't get their names. They kept the snack mix refilled and created a funny, warm atmosphere.”

“Beautiful indoor/outdoor restaurant at The Four Seasons overlooking the ocean. Great views. Wonderful, polished servers. Very, very good food. My wife and I shared our standard order at a steakhouse: wedge salad, filet, mashed potatoes, dessert. The filet was cooked perfectly medium, and it was very tender. The mashed potatoes were delicious, especially once we topped them with the roasted shallot steak sauce. The chocolate macadamia nut torte was a great ending to an amazing meal. I loved everything about it.”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Excelllent atmosphere, food & service.”

“This was our first time dining here. The food was delicius, service top notch, and the ambiance in the restaurant was incredible. Gorgeous ocean views!”

“The Omakase was excellent and is highly recommended if you have the budget. However, when booking the reservation on OpenTable, I assume you have to select the ‘Sushi Bar' option, and only on Friday, Saturday or Sunday. We booked ‘standard' for a Friday and discovered that only gets you a table where you order sushi al a carte. The Omakase experience requires seating at the bar. Frankly after booking on OpenTable, I'd suggest contacting the restaurant afterwards to make sure you get the Omakase seating.”

“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 🤙🏽”

“Delicious bimbimbap. Very fresh!”

“Great ice cream and e has Dole Whip also. Definitely will visit again before going home. Highly recommend this place.”

“Excellent service, food and atmosphere. A little slow, but it was busy. Parking can be an issue, but we got right in. Recommend the spicy red sauce! Not too spicy, but it does have a little extra flavor than most pizzas. BRP will be on our list the next time we come to Maui.”

“Loved that nothing was too sweet the Tiramisu is special and the coffee tasted really good can’t wait to try more things.”

“SHARK ATTACK!! You should get the Jaws bowl it’s delicious but don’t forget to get some Brazilian cheese bread on your way out. They do it best! 🦈🤪”

“Absolutely the best brisket that I have had anywhere ever! And the beans and mack&cheese are awesome too. In the 10 days that I was in Kihei, I ate 2 orders of the brisket for 3 meals each. A great value foe a wonderful meal!”

“Sooooo good!!! We came to Kihei to help my dad who had a medical emergency & my sister-in-law & I ate here several times. Everything was perfection. My most favorite thing is the roasted brussel sprouts & I could eat them every single day!!!”

“staff is amazing food and drinks are 100 percent 😋”

“Not only is the shaved ice absolutely amazing, but the staff (Evyn) is the BEST!!! So knowledgeable and amazingly friendly!!! MAHALO!”

“Amazing food! There is almost always a line but totally worth the wait.”

“Can’t emphasize enough how much you’re missing out if you don’t eat here while staying in or near Wailea. Their Dynamite Shrimp is one of the best things I’ve ever had in my life then add gravy with your rice and your life will be complete. It’s a BYOB and the lady serving you is the sweetest lady you’ll ever meet. 20 outta 10. Heard about it through locals and they couldn’t have been more right. Seating is limited, but we walked in and ate right away. 1000% worth the wait if it comes to that. You will not regret coming here.”

“First time there after many years. Super friendly gal out front. Reasonable prices I thought. Food was excellent. We will be back”

“The fish tacos are hands down so delicious. Mango salsa takes it to a whole different level. The flavors were so so good this coming from my mom who loves to eat fish tacos everywhere she can. She said it's in her top 2 choices of fish tacos. I had the mahi mahi grilled with lemon butter and white rice it was delicious as well but next time I'm getting the fish tacos.”

“The food was AMAZING. The staff were extremely nice. And the portions! Dinner became two meals; neither my husband nor I could finish our plates. Definitely recommend Da Kitchen.”

“A fabulous spot... actually the best kava lounge I've been to anywhere. Awesome variety, great music and chill atmosphere.”

“We went in twice while we were in Kihei. Steph was so friendly and made great drinks. The service and atmosphere were fantastic! Also, met a nice local lady and shared a drink with her. Great place!”

“We had our Montana State U FCS Div. 1 National championship party at Diamonds and they knocked it out of the ballpark for us! Holly and the crew at diamonds made great food and drinks in spectacular and accommodating environment. We had over 40 people and they made it work with multiple TV’s and sound. It was a great time! Highly recommend diamonds whether it’s a large group or just a small group needing to watch a specific game.”

“We spent 8 days in Kihei, we started the trip with dinner Kihei Fish House, they were open later (9pm) and it sounded good. We loved it so much we ended our trip with Kihei Fish House. We got the Grilled Mahi-mahi and Jumbo Shrimp tacos BOTH times, they were that good. The only place we ate at twice our entire trip. I'm going to be dreaming about the tacos forever, and probably comparing all future fish tacos to them.
The picture shows only two tacos, but an order comes with three. We couldn't wait to dig in before remembering a picture.”

“Excellent breakfast sandwich & pizza. highly recommend.”

“Love their açaí bowls!!! Awesome fresh handcrafted lemonades, delicious salads and flatbread sandwiches.”

“Best burger I've her had! Unlike anything I've ever had before. Their burger sauce is *chef's kiss* This is must stop in Maui, you won't be disappointed!”

“The owner had a warm, welcoming, happy spirit about him. My wife bought the birria tocos & they were to die for, I’m glad she didn’t die though because I love her. But this truck offered delicious food served with kind service. We’d definitely go back (affordable prices too)”

“Great Time! Come early. Make Reservations”

“Absolutely the best Animal Fries & chicken Caesar wrap I’ve ever had. The fries are better than In & Out, they are crunchy and the sauce and onion are so flavorful, I couldn’t stop eating them! The Wrap had moist chicken and a tasty Caesar and grilled tortilla! My Husband loved the Buffalo wings! The owner is so sweet! Please come support him!”

“Tiki's Shaved Ice was probably the best shaved ice we had our entire trip, and that is saying something because we tried A LOT of shaved ice.

You have to come here. The flavors are unique, the texture is perfect, and everything just works together. I especially recommend trying the snow cap, which takes the whole thing to another level.

If you are in the area and craving something cold and refreshing, do yourself a favor and stop here. This was easily one of our favorite shaved ice spots of the trip. 🍧🌺”

We got a macadamia nut croissant yesterday and an almond croissant today and they were amazing. The staff is super friendly as well.”

“This is a hidden gem for lunch at Wailea Beach. The hummus wrap and poke bowls are great, and the convenience is perfect. No need to go back to your hotel when you can have lunch right there at your beach spot. The people who work there are friendly and the prices are quite reasonable for the area.”

“On Monday night I went and was helped by Lu and one of her coworkers. I had just arrived from a flight, and since everything else was already closed, I got there late. They were already closed too, and still they decided to make me a pizza and put so much love, lots of cheese, and such good vibes into it. I really want to highlight their attitude, the service, and the help they gave me. The pizza was excellent. Thank you so much, Lu!”
