Hawaiian Restaurants in Kihei, HI

“Great food, fantastic atmosphere, fabulous staff“

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

“Great food, you get big portions! Pricey for a strip mail little restaurant for the BBQ ribs but they were delicious! Family enjoyed everything we got and finished it up quick. Would recommend the short ribs as you get like 8 large pieces!!“

“Dinner at Ko last night was exceptional! We were delighted to be served by our favorite server, and every detail was impeccable...from the beautifully prepared food to the attentive service and refined atmosphere. A consistently outstanding dining experience! Thanks Ko, our Hostess, Therese and our amazing server, Leanne❤️“

“Our server, Isaiah, was most helpful with the menu choices. We had the roasted beet salad and the Steak and Frites. We asked for the steak to be cooked medium plus, but it came out less than medium and had to be sent back to be cooked further. Other than that, it was a delicious meal in a great location.“

“Staff is great, never had a bad experience. Food is really good, mahalo to the cooks, it's a what you pay for situation and it's a lot better than what would be considered acceptable and the price is right. There's indoor and outdoor seating and it's in beautiful kihei so no complaints. Keep in mind, not all L & L's are created equal and we have the best food of all the ones on the island here in kihei.“

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

“Absolutely incredible dinner. Best mai tai we had and the tempura pink snapper WOW- life changing! Please make it a regular on the menu!!!“

“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“

“Food so delicious everyone friendly ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️👍👍👍👍👍👍“

“We’re from NY and have done almost all Michelin star restaurants there and several others worldwide. This tasting menu is fantastic and probably worthy of a star.

Local ingredients, perfect pacing, and reasonable portions.

The only thing we could ding is an unflattering pairing, but they have a decent enough selection of half bottles and btg that you could make your own (which is what we did).

Shout out to Edmond for making our night super memorable and teaching us all about scallops!“

“Wanted to give a special Thanks to Humble Humble Market Kitchin by Roy Yamaguchi entire staff expecially Pilli for making this dinner and night special. You all are the best only matched by the taste of the food. That Halo Halo was off the chain!!“

“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“

“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!“

“This has become our favorite place to eat in Maui. We eat here every trip but this time we came back 3 times!! Two favorites, coconut shrimp with sweet potato fries AND the mahi mahi (I now prefer this over Paia Fish Market’s) it was so tender and the sauce served with it is out of this world!! I actually got and extra sauce when we left to eat with our steak the next day. It was that good!! The owner is the sweetest and her gift of creating delicious food is next level. Cannot wait to come back!“

“Everything we've eaten here has been delicious! Such creative food combinations - beautifully presented. Everything on the menu sounds tempting. We were delighted with the salad cones and crepes and look forward to coming back to try more of the menu. Try it - you won't be disappointed.“

“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.“

“This place is legit. Just discovered it and tried it when the taco place next door was closed for the day. I've now been back twice in a week and it has instantly become a "go to" place for me.“

“We ordered two breakfast sandwiches, one Spam, egg, and cheese, and the other Portuguese saugage(linguica), egg, and cheese. They both had great flavor, and were a decent portion, for a good price! The two sandwiches cost us less than one cost at a different breakfast spot we went to previously. The restaurant itself isn't very updated, but don't let that fool you!“

“We stopped by recently while visiting the island and I am forever obsessed! The Hawaiian muffin and bread was amazing! I also love the bacon, egg and cheese stuffed roll! I definitely should have bought more goodies to bring back to Texas!“

“We visited Coconut’s Fish Cafe at the Azeka Shopping Center on December 4th, 2025 around 6:00 PM, and honestly, we had a really nice time. The place was clean the moment we walked in — tables, floors, everything looked well taken care of. It has a simple, relaxed island vibe that makes you feel comfortable right away.

The service was quick, and the staff kept things moving smoothly even with a steady flow of people coming in. Our food came out faster than we expected, which was great.

We tried the Coconut Shrimp, the Kalua Pork Plate, and the Macadamia Nut Crusted Mahi Mahi Plate, along with Aloha Maid juice, guava nectar, and a soft drink. Everything tasted fresh, the portions were good, and the flavors were light and easy to enjoy.

Overall, we walked out happy. It’s a clean spot with fast service, decent flavors, and a laid-back feel a solid choice for a casual dinner in Kihei.“

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

“Tried Aloha Thai Fusion, and their Pad See Ew was hands down the best I had on the island even better than Thai Me Up. Great flavor, texture, and perfectly cooked noodles.

As for the Drunken Noodles, I’d still give the edge to Thai Me Up they do those a bit better in my opinion. But if Pad See Ew is your go-to, this is the spot.

Definitely coming back here on my next trip to try more of their menu. This is a must try if you're in Maui“

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