“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”
“I've been eating sushi for many years and is the best I've ever found. It is so fresh and beyond excellent. The service is great and the chef will make whatever special requests you want. The Hamachi sashimi is amazing and the soft shell hand roll is perfect. My family and I come here again and again. Don't miss it!”
Restaurants by Cuisine
“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.”
“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!”

“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!”
“We dined at Kō on the first night of our trip and then again on the last night. Both experiences were fantastic. Try to ignore the sticker shock of how expensive the meal will be & just settle in for the ride.
Every person in our party loved every dish we ordered. We had the Ahi Katsu, Korean Kalbi Wagyu Sirloin Ssam, Grilled Hawaiian Catch (Opakapaka), Herb Crusted Fresh Catch, and Wagyu dumplings.
The Kalbi Wagyu Sirloin was so much fun to eat - I loved making lettuce wraps with the perfectly cooked steak, the wagyu fried rice was epic, the flavor on the steak alone was worth just eating it straight from the plate.
The Ahi Katsu was cooked perfectly and the katsu presentation was great.
Both fresh fish entrees had unique sides that enhanced each dish.
Our servers were both fantastic - we had Morgan on night one and Victoria (who was moonlighting from the breakfast buffet). They expertly described the menu and dishes and were fun to chat with.
Our toddler loved running around the grassy area near the patio, which made our lives a lot easier!”
“Amazing food, service, ambiance. We had a relaxing cocktail lunch. Their roasted eggplant with ricotta was delicious as was their tonno tonnato. We really liked their drink menu. I highly recommend the Spritz Tropicale or Italian Greyhound. Beautiful views and service (Danielle was friendly and very knowledgeable about everything on the menu). I almost felt like it was the Amalfi Coast sitting there with the food and cocktails. Just a wonderful place and experience.”
“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.”
“Spectacular hotel. One of the best I’ve stayed in. Exemplary service from the minute you arrive to the end. Rooms and grounds super clean.
Highly recommend the club level. The club is a great place to relax and enjoy the view w lots of eat and drink.
Can’t wait to come back. Aloha 🌺”
“First time there after many years. Super friendly gal out front. Reasonable prices I thought. Food was excellent. We will be back”
“Best brisket I’ve ever had hands down! It was seasoned good and so tender. The bbq sauce was great as well. I ate a couple bites of my Mac and cheese and my bbq beans both of such were really good I just didn’t have the room to finish them. Very glad I chose this place. My son had a bbq chicken plate and he tore it up which is great because he’s a picky guy”

“This was my absolute favorite food/snack in Maui. It's so good that we went here twice back to back for breakfast! My favorite order is the Honolua with the Maui honey, not as overpowering as the regular honey. Must try if you're ever in the Kihei/South Maui Gardens area!”

“Stopped at this food truck for lunch after a beach morning in Maluaka. Not much to look at and no benches or washrooms at this food truck spot (as it is just by the side of the rode) but the food was delicious and reasonably priced! Loved the fish and al pastor tacos 🌮”
“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 came here a few times during my first trip to Hawai'i. Wonderful little shaved ice shop with great, delicious choices at a good price and friendly workers. There was a wait which is understandable with 2-ish people working at a busy time of day but even then the wait was never too long.”
“We had a company dinner at Koast and I cannot say enough good things about it. From start to finish the service was imbecile. While not on the ocean the view was still beautiful with golf course and ocean views. The food was delicious. I highly recommend. PS. Ask for Jason”

Drive-Thru Restaurants
“I would go back to Maui just to eat here. Apparently it was on Food Network's Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives with Guy Fieri and the food is excellent! This is a small place with limited seating indoors and outdoors, we just happened to show up when there was an open table (lucky for us!) and the service was fantastic! My mistake was booking too short a vacation so there was no way to try everything on the menu this time, so now I have a reason to return.”
“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.”
“I drove from Paia to S Kihei just to try the fried fish. It's difficult to find fried fish in the island, so I decided to give it a shot, and it was well worth the drive!
Just a tip, most of the photos show an orange food truck, but it's actually white, and it's located on the northwest end of the property, next to the street.”
“Saw this place mentioned by many people online and decided to check it out... great decision! If you want a large, greasy burger and great fries make sure to get anything with the sidewinder fries. We had our bag rip open immediately after leaving the counter (no fault of the business) and the owner (who was there) immediately got a new bag coming, came over and helped pick up and made sure all our food was good with an offer to remake anything if needed. Will have our word of mouth vote!”
“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.”

“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!”
“AMAZING! The food was so delicious and the milkshakes (specifically the adult ones) were excellent. Highly recommend Cool Cat Cafe. We stopped for a late lunch after snorkeling; service was great & quick, and, as stated above, the food was top notch!”

“My husband and I are staying at the beautiful Fairmont Kea Lani and the staff, service, and quality of food and drinks at the market have blown us away. We are here with our baby and Julie, Vince, Denyse and Lisa have all looked after us so well. We recommend them for every meal of the day and truly one of the best experiences of our stay.”
“I have to admit, I was little hesitant to try this spot inside the swap meet, but boy, am I glad I did.
I had the combo plate with ribs and chicken, and it comes with a side of white rice and corn. I also paid extra to try their kimchi.
Everything was tender and flavorful.”
“Cozy and nice environment, the food arrived quickly and the menu is easy to choose from. The food was excellent and had aromatic flavours like a good Vietnamese cuisine should. Very pleased”

“Wines were excellent, as was the service. They were friendly and attentive.
My only complaint was that the music was too loud to have a nice conversation.”

“Remember this restaurant is open from 11 am to 10 pm. The food is so wonderful and delicious. If you find it busy at night, please go during the day. Seating is wide open for lunch and into the afternoon. Drinks are special and very tasty! The prices are reasonable and the ambience great. I would highly recommend this to locals and visitors alike.”
“Every visit to Maui my wife and I wound up at kohola brewery on many nights! Why? Great atmosphere, delicious beer (Waterman our favorite), and - most of all - a warm & welcoming people!! Also, music which ranged in quality from fantastic to …not good, all of which made kohola our favorite pub on Maui!!!”

“We had a company dinner at Koast and I cannot say enough good things about it. From start to finish the service was imbecile. While not on the ocean the view was still beautiful with golf course and ocean views. The food was delicious. I highly recommend. PS. Ask for Jason”

“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”

“Great selection of food trucks and places to eat spread throughout the park. We stopped at the Wings Food Truck and really enjoyed it. There are so many options to choose from that we'll definitely be back to try something new. A fun spot with something for everyone!”
“This coffee roaster is the best in the state, hands down! It rivals my favorite roasters from the Pacific Northwest; you can tell they're intentional about the entire process from seed to cup. I get their subscription on a monthly basis; it's a great price and perfect for those living on a neighbor island.”
“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!”
“This food truck is awesome! The food is so flavorful and everything I’ve tried is delicious. The elote and churros are soooo good! Wonderful food and wonderful owners!”
