“The pizza was really good, I added vegan cheese which was amazing, and was able to replace the eggplant with mushrooms (for free). The staff was so kind and helpful! Loved it”

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

“The entire team at the chef‘s table was wonderful. From the selections of the wine to the discussions with all of the chefs, made it a very fun time. The food was great, and the interactions was over the top great. Would highly recommend this to anyone visiting Maui. A wonderful experience.”

“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!”

“Wonderful service, delicious food, some of the best food service and ambience on the island. The Wagyu lettuce wraps were so so good! And our waiter was the most nice and friendly person I wish I remembered her name. What a great team and such amazing food. Also, just wanted to give a shout out to TARA FRASQUILLO for going above and beyond.”

“We are staying in Kaanapali but we're looking for something extra special for my daughter's birthday. We did a deep dive on Reddit and found this gem! This was by far the best Sushi I've had (and my husband agreed it was better than Nobu). Great ambiance hidden in a strip mall. The chef told us they have a much bigger location nearby as well. This location was quaint and well-appointed and the service was top notch. Totally worth the drive for high end Sushi in an unassuming location away from mediocre resort food. Highly recommend.We are staying in Kaanapali but we're looking for something extra special for my daughter's birthday. We did a deep dive on Reddit and found this gem!

“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!”

“Enjoyed our Mexican Maitai on Taco Tuesday. We got there early for happy hour and ordered the food at 4. Thanks to Diego who had a great smile. Fun and good food.”

“We had an amazing meal and terrific drinks for our birthday celebration. The service was outstanding and very friendly. We will be back again next year. We recommend you go as you will not be disappointed with Ferraro's.”

“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!”

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

“This is what the Nobu up the street should’ve been like. Yes it’s expensive but it’s a high end sushi place in the four seasons, that’s a given.

You go here because you want something fresh and incredible on your palate. This will satisfy that! Wish I could’ve stayed for dessert but didn’t have the time. Every roll or nigiri was out of this world.

The attention to detail in everything from the palate cleanser, to the food, to the soy sauce was incredible and noted. I will be back!”

“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.”

“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!”

“DUO is the place to go for high quality steaks. I ordered the NY strip and a lobster tail with chimichurri, and my wife ordered the truffle mac and cheese. The NY strip was so tender, and the lobster tail was so fresh. The Mac and cheese was simply fantastic.
They even gave us some free little cupcakes for our honeymoon. The bill was $200, it was worth the money.”

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

“The mole and Tacos are delicious”

“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 🤙🏽”

“10/10 highly recommend!! James has great options of both flavors or if you prefer shaved fruit which happens to be our FAVORITE! The service and quality are second to none. This has become a nightly tradition when we’re visiting! Go check them out!”

“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!!!”

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

“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”

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

“The staff is super nice! I think the spam musubi is over-rated/over-hyped. The rice to meat ratio is completely off, i.e. you're eating a mouthful of rice and a tiny bit of spam. Also, it's $4, whereas at 7-11 it's only $1.99! The kalbi ribs are super tasty, but for a $50 entree, it's on the high side.”

“Drove 45mins to try out their cinnamon roll. Worth the drive! Very good!”

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

“Couldn't wait to get back to Maui and back to our all time favorite food truck. Once again it did not disappoint. Will come here every time. Great food, amazing mix of flavors, tender fish. Yummy mango salsa.”

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

“The seasoning on the fish n chips was delicious! Service is fast and staff is great! I had cod fish n chips and my husband had Ono grilled fish tacos with sliced cabbage and sauce was amazing”

“Mahalo! Nice to meet you. It was amazing!”

“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!”

“What separates good acai bowls from great ones is the base imo. The toppings are more or less the same. The base here is really delicious in an interesting way. It's not just sweet but has floral notes to it which we really enjoyed. 10/10!”

“Edit: came back the next day and everything was even better this time. Try the sweet onion and mushroom gravy. Dellicious food made with great care. So happy to have finally found this spot, will definitely be my new Kihei go-to. We've tries the shrimp dynamite, hurricane chicken, chicken donburi and unagi maki roll. All excellent, this is becoming our favorite lunch spot on the entire island”

“Excellent breakfast sandwich & pizza. highly recommend.”

“Food was excellant, staff very helpful and prompt, the atmosphere is outdoor food truck area with many venders so could potentially order from different trucks. Lively and fun people watching.”

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

“Best of the food trucks on entire island. Excellent service and helpful! Many options and fantastic food! Is a must hands down. Can't wait to come back and visit again!”

“Not usually a review person, but after returning for our second meal, I must. Highly recommend the birria taquitos, crunchy, hot, savory, fragrant, delicious. Arguably best food truck at south maui gardens. Satisfied every craving, steak burrito was delicious as well! Seriously the best food stop we made this whole trip. The owner is also super kind, and you know it’s a good sign when staff from other food trucks are coming to him standing in line for lunch!”

“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.”

“Absolutely outstanding. The Wagyu burger had an incredible crust and was cooked perfectly. The onion jam was a total surprise. I usually hate onions, but this was sweet, balanced, and a complete game changer. Great bun that held everything together.

Shawn, one of the owners, spent time talking with me about their burgers, and you can really feel the passion behind what they do. The sidewinder fries were super crispy with tons of crunchy edges.

A must stop in Kihei.”

“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.”

“What a fantastic performance Brenton put on with Mulligan's Magic Show! I had heard about this show from another family we met while horseback riding one day on our trip to Maui and we literally altered our Road to Hana day to be back in time for this show... and we were SO GLAD we did! It was the perfect evening and a nice break away from just seeing the beauty of nature. Brenton was funny, engaging, family friendly, and full of energy but he was also SO talented with his magic! I have a 21 and 18 year old and they were so impressed, laughing most of the night. We caught a couple of his tricks on video and posted them and our Facebook friends were in awe too! This show is WELL worth your time and money, and Mulligans offered fantastic dinner options too. Go see the show if you get the chance - you won't regret it! It's truly... well, "magical". :)”

“Great food and great staff!”

“Drove 45mins to try out their cinnamon roll. Worth the drive! Very good!”

“Great Indian curry and other classic dishes”

“This was one our favorite spots in Maui. The ice cream is delicious, the staff is super friendly, and the service is quick. It's also not expensive, which helps. We were in Maui 5 nights and went 4 times, only missed 1 night because we got there after they closed. The only downside is there are only 2 flavors (vanilla and coconut), so there's not much variety. But honestly, it's so good that it didn't matter. Highly recommend checking it out.”

“This place is so cute and the drinks are 10/10. They also have really fun drinks there - I want to go back to try the Pandan coffee! But my matcha was really good. And my husband really enjoyed his black sesame latte”

“Food, atmosphere, service was above and beyond. I was a little sketched about this place initially because wailea restaurants can be a hit or miss. But this one was by far my favorite on the island!! The food was beyond incredible and so reasonable. I had hands down the best drinks I’ve had in a while.. our server was super sweet, considerate, and amazingly insightful. I will be recommending this place to people who ask now — not to mention the vibe, and ocean view is to die for. Mahalo to the restaurant and your amazing team for this experience. I am still day dreaming about the food.”

“the folks are super nice and friendly! the crepe I tried-pineapple was delicious! fresh and flavorful!”

“A must see if you are in the area. The Poké bowl was to die for. I am still dreaming about it!

I loved the Maui Gardens as well. They have games, sitting, and some great food trucks to choose from.”

“The service was very friendly and the shave ice was crisp and refreshing. I got the coconut clouds and it was amazing! I’d recommend this spot for anyone looking to cool off on a hot summer day”

“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!”

“The staff is always friendly, fun, and fantastic.
All my times for pauhana have all been great.
The boards are delicious and well put together. And the drinks and wine are well made and well chosen.”

“Fantastic experience! The service was warm, friendly, and attentive from the moment we walked in. The pho was absolutely amazing — rich, flavorful broth, fresh ingredients, and perfectly cooked noodles. You can really taste the quality and care in every bite. This is easily one of the best spots for pho, and I’ll definitely be coming back!”

“Lightning fast service with the best ramen I’ve ever had in my life. Server was quick and kind and fun to talk to. The pork katsu bun was so good too. The atmosphere was great with fun decor and details. Highly recommend.”

“When visiting Maui don’t miss Paia, and when visiting Paia don’t miss Choice Health Bar. If light and delicious is your thing than you will be thrilled when you discover this place. Amazing owners and staff makes this a restaurant you don’t want to miss.”

“We tried it on 01/20/2025 a few days after they opened. The service was excellent the staff were friendly and helpful and the food was awesome!! We enjoyed it!!”

“Great place to eat. Nice atmosphere and great live music. A must place to go.”

“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!”
