50 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Kihei

“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!“

“Worth the hype! Unbelievably delicious and owner is super friendly! Be prepared to wait in line but went fast and worth the wait. We also bought fresh fish off the truck to cook ourselves and it melted in your mouth. Best spot on Maui for fish!“

“The BEST food on the island, hands down. I was in serious need of some food that warmed and comforted my soul, and Sol Brothers delivered. The brisket is out of this world, and very good portion size. Would 100000% come back and recommend to anyone, if you are like and was circling the food truck lot indecisive, go with Sol.“

“Great food, fantastic atmosphere, fabulous staff“

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

“A little Mexican food truck parked on the side of the road south of Wailea. By far some of the best food I’ve had on the island and quite authentic. Wife had the fish tacos with their delicious salsa and I had a giant fish torta which was amazing. In terms of bang for the buck where eating out tends to be fairly expensive…this place is a total gem.
Be aware there’s no seating available, we just ate in the comfort of our AC-laden car but could easily take a picnic to go to the beach nearby. A+!“

“Best coffee we had in Maui and probably one of the best we’ve had in life in general. My husband had the ham and cheese panini. He closed his eyes and had a moment with each bite. The employees were super sweet. We’ll be back next time we come to Maui.“

“The proprietor is the most personable vendor I’ve encountered this week. My family and I have visited the truck several times and missed him yesterday when he was sick; the local alternative was disappointing and more expensive. Godspeed Gus! Hope to see you today!❤️🙏🏽“

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

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

“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 🤙🏽“

“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“

“Excellent breakfast sandwich & pizza. 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!“

“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!“

“Hey there! I found this adorable local shave ice stand in Maui that you absolutely must check out! It’s right across from a beach park, so you can soak up some sun, watch the surfers at the cove, or just take a stroll with your shaved ice during sunset. It’s the best! 10/10!! 🤙🏽“

“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.“

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

“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!“

“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!“

“Excellent tasting fresh wraps that are so yummy I can’t recommend them enough. Great coffee as well. Really love the atmosphere and Gina and the staff are absolutely outstanding just super accommodating just lovely. If you’re in the area definitely recommend Thats a Wrap. Absolutely love the local art on display it’s gorgeous. We will be back love Tina and Steve from New Zealand.“

“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.“

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

“Stopped by in the afternoon, no line, no wait :)
Got a big shave ice to share that came with 3 toppings. Definitely a good portion to share for a fair price. The woman at the shop was friendly and helped answering any questions.
I would give it a 4.5 stars but as I also had better shave ice before, I give 4. But you can’t go wrong with Bling Bling“

“Really cute lil stop with açaí bowls , shaved ice, coffee and snow cones .. located in the rainbow mall with lots of shops …got the state fair shaved ice came with ice cream on the bottom and whip cream on top. Got the medium it was huge !“

“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.“

“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!“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ | A Flavor Explosion in Maui!

If you are looking for an incredible meal, Tajima Ramen is an absolute must-visit. From the moment you walk in, the experience is top-tier.

The Food
• Carnitas Ramen: This is a total game-changer. The carnitas are tender, juicy, and packed with a deep, savory richness that elevates the entire bowl. It is easily one of the most flavorful fusion dishes I’ve ever had.

• Traditional White Ramen: For those who love the classics, the white ramen is perfection. The broth is creamy, soul-warming, and balanced exactly as a traditional tonkotsu-style base should be.

• Teriyaki Chicken & White Rice: Even the simpler dishes shine here. The teriyaki chicken is perfectly glazed and tender, paired with fluffy, pristine white rice that acts as the perfect canvas for the savory sauce.
The Service

Beyond the kitchen, the service is amazing. The staff is attentive, welcoming, and clearly passionate about the food they serve. They make you feel right at home the second you sit down.“

“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.“

“This is a super cool funky Maui TREASURE! The atmosphere is totally chill. You will meet locals and tourists in this unique and fun pub/restaurant. Bring a dollar bill or two to personalize and hang on the wall with the tens of thousands of others that have visited over the last ~40+ years. The menu is simple and very good. Sandwiches are fresh, delicious, and big enough for the hearty appetite. There is a full bar here too that can serve local beers and crafty cocktails to enhance your meal. Dina's also offers some great hotdog recipes and everything on the menu can be ordered for either dine in or take-away. Located on the shore of Sugar Beach it is a convenient stop to grab a lunch to go or dine in for some cheerful service. Open daily from 11am to 10pm which also makes it a great place to grab an evening cocktail with friends after the beach or day of adventures. Plenty of allowed parking available at Sugar Beach Resort. Highly recommended if you are looking for a low key relaxing and fun place. 👍“

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

“Upon arriving to the Fairmont Kea Lani after a long 9 hour flight, we were able to get a quick pizza that we brought up to our room to eat. Stopped in to get ice cream one night. I got the banana bread sundae and my fiancé got the chocolate Oreo shake. Both delicious. The store also had coffee, teas, and typical gift shop items. Everything of course is super expensive but what else would you expect. Overall recommend.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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 😋 😋“

“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.“

“Gutes Frühstück und nettes Personal“

“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!“

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

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

“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 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!“

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

“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!
