“My husband, daughter and I visited Sweet Hula in mid-June 2025 and had the best açaí bowls in Hawaii! We were in Maui for three days during the last leg of our trip and ate here every morning. During our vacation we visited three islands (Oahu, Island of Hawaii and Maui) and had Açaí bowls almost every morning. Sweet Hula ended up being our absolute favorite of the five different places we tried. The folks who helped us each day were the BEST. They always greeted us with a smile and were so sweet and kind. They accommodated any topping change requests that we needed and the bowls always came out quickly. The large size bowls were perfect for keeping us fueled up for a day full of hiking and swimming. The açaí base was perfectly frozen and the toppings were super fresh and generously portioned. We also had some of their delicious, fresh banana bread that was perfect to snack on throughout the day. We’ve been back home in NC for two weeks now and we still talk about the Sweet Hula bowls and how much we miss them. Please go visit the folks at Sweet Hula and let us live vicariously through you!! Mahalo!“

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

“Fresh Fruit in the shaved ice was incredible!“

“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.“

“Quite possibly the best fish tacos I have ever had. And the portions are more than generous. Unbelievably fresh and delicious. It’s not a question of IF we will be back, only a question of how many times.“

“What a great bakery, the coffee is excellent. And the malasadas are so yummy.“

“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“

“Best shaved ice I have ever had! Loved the coconut ice cream at the bottom ❤️“

“i was at big beach when i started to get hungry so i checked this taco truck out and they did not disappoint!! i got one fish taco and one al pastor taco and wow they were both amazing !! 12/10 recommend going to this taco truck and checking them out !! you won’t be disappointed“

“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.“

“Fantastic food and very clean. They serve daily affordable sandwich, salads and soup specials that you can make 2 meals out of. Everybody I know eats there at least once a week.“

“Super friendly waiters, fast on delivering food. High quality taste and even higher quality atmosphere. Highly recommend“

“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!“

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

“Daniel at Mexirican Mix is crushing it. The food is always fresh, flavorful, and seriously the best Mexican I’ve had on the island. You can tell he puts heart into everything he makes. This is a weekly must for us! If you haven’t tried it yet, you’re missing out!“

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

“They’re great. Fast friendly“

“Kihei Fish House by Maui Grill: Fresh Flavors, Worth the Wait!

Kihei Fish House by Maui Grill is a highly recommended spot! Their coconut shrimp are delicious, and the grilled mahi-mahi with special sauce is so yummy. Every plate comes with tasty rice, sweet potato salad, and green salad. All the meals are consistently good! While the waiting time can be a bit long, the shaded outdoor seating with 6 long tables makes it comfortable. Definitely check this place out for fantastic seafood.“

“I absolutely loved the service and the food here! As a vegetarian, it can be hard to find some varied options at a lot of restaurants. Here, they were so accommodating with tons of vegetarian or vegan options. The service was exceptional- we got recommendations on what to try and they truly cared about making things exactly how we liked - especially with our coffee drinks! I wish I had something like this where I lived!“

“Super friendly waiters, fast on delivering food. High quality taste and even higher quality atmosphere. Highly recommend“

“Very vegan friendly, we were able to get vegan coconut condensed milk and dual whip instead of the dairy options. The flavors are so intense. We got the vegan lava flow and also the sunset but with the vegan condensed milk and dole whip. A bit pricey, $15 each for the shareable size.“

“Great food Great drink Sara is a true gem We found our Maui bar !!!“

“The best I’ve EVER had.! Way better than Granny’s pie! Total Five Star! I highly recommend the Lilikoi cream.“

“Excellent breakfast sandwich & pizza. highly recommend.“

“Great coffee!! Was able to stop in our their first week opening. Great people great place!! Can’t wait to go on our next visit to the island.“

“The 50’s diner feel was real! Staff was super accommodating. The Betty Boop art takes you back. Loved the jukebox. Milkshakes were delish! Our burgers did not disappoint! The house sauce gives it that Maui feel!“

“Amazing shop! Breakfast sandwiches to the pizza to the coffee were on point. Great alternative when you can’t or don’t want to go to the restaurants or food trucks.

Just one tip..lower the AC! Lol it’s the fricken frozen tundra in there 😂“

“Amazing! One of my absolute fav sushi places on island!“

“No photos needed, the one that shows up in the Google search is everything you need to know. The ice cream is amazing with several cone choices.

Fruity Pebbles, in a waffle cone or a chocolate fruity pebbles cones was superb. It was Saturday morning cartoon milk wrapped up in a cone.“

“Gutes Frühstück und nettes Personal“

“First time customers tonight and absolutely loved this place! Avery was very knowledgeable about the menu and made great suggestions His partner Jeremy rounded out our five star experience and we will be back before leaving for the mainland! Delicious 😋 😋“

“This is such a nice restaurant , the walls are covered with money mostly one dollar bills. Food was good prices are more affordable here then at the tourist places. I had the Spam witch sandwich. The service was very nice. and the atmosphere was very nice.“

“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!“

“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!“

“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.“

“AWESOME Fish Tacos - Get there early or they may run out of fish. This is the place to go!“

“Love this small little cafe in Maui! The staff was pleasant and the food a juices Devine! Especially enjoyed the extraordinary customer service that Rylee delivered! She not only made my family feel like family, she helped her co-workers foster a team environment! I would so recommend this place and will return! A++++“

“Decided to splurge a little and treat myself and family to a nice breakfast in wailea. As locals we have our usual spots but decided to give this place a try since there was a kamaaina special. We weren’t disappointed. I had my fill of smoked salmon, ahi poke, bacon, and eggs benny (all buffet so that was a plus). Kiddos had everything and the wife really enjoyed the atmosphere. Not stuffy, great staff (Venus was our server) and the kamaaina was a plus. Coming back again.“

“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“

“Well worth the wait. Very friendly and patient staff.“

“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!“

“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!“

“I’ve been coming to Maui for 40 years- and hands-down, this is the best seared ahi plate. Incredible. Kihei location. Ahi tacos are fantastic too! I woke up this morning thinking about last night’s meal, so we came back today. Had to go back a second day in a row!“

“Had the vegetable korma. The food was very good and the service was fast and friendly.“

“Fuego! Ordered the 6pc pineapple teriyaki wings, animal style tots, strawberry punch (lemonade). Got 7 wings instead of 6, can’t recommend pineapple teriyaki enough. Drink was about 8oz and full of ice for about $7. Each sooo was a dollar, but was tasty! Service was great, super welcoming and went the extra mile to ask us if we needed extra utensils a bag, napkins, etc. Seems like basic service but you’d be surprised at how many places you have to verbally ask for those things in HI if it’s your first trip. 4.8/5- only ding was the small drink- would recommend.“
