Hawaiian Restaurants near Kula, HI

“The location is prime. Seating outdoors is unique with a beautiful scenic view. The staff is friendly; however, the new online ordering system lends some confusion since you need to include items that were ordered through the wait staff. Had to ask 3 times for a juice that was ordered. Despite the hiccups, it was an enjoyable meal.“

“The recommendations the waiter provided were so delicious. Not a true fish eater, but omg everything we had was amazing. Best meal I've ever had.Brought our kids. Their kids meal was a 10/10 from our kids.We wish we had dessert but we were stuffed!Highly recommend this place.“

“A bit noisy because of the wooden floors and active bar making blended drinks. But the service and locally sourced food is superb. There are other table locations within the restaurant that are probably quieter than the one we chose right up front at the windows.“

“Sparkys is a delightful food place that exceeded all my expectations! The service provided by Kama was exceptional, making the dining experience truly memorable. The food was delicious, the ambiance was inviting, and Kama's attentiveness added a special touch to the meal. I can't wait to return to Sparkys for another wonderful dining experience!“

“What a gem of a place! All natural ingredients grabbed our attention to experience a healthier shaved ice for our Hawaii vacation. The chill vibe kept us there. Thomas was awesome, super down to earth, and great to chat with. Make sure to splurge for the ice cream with macadamia nuts on the bottom of your shaved ice — it was mind blowing!“

“1st time here and we both had breakfast . I had pancakes and wife had Heavy Kine and both were yummy . Best pancakes I’ve ever had and wife’ Portugueses sausage in her breakfast was off the charts yummy ♥️Wish we had found this place sooner !“

“A small little spot, but the food is good. I hate Mac salad, but I usually give it a small try to say I at least tried it. Tried the Mac salad here and it was yummy! The workers are friendly and patient as we were still deciding if we would dine in and if we wanted drinks or not. Me being a server, I know how it feels to be on the other side of the coin when customers are still making decisions during an order. I got the Kalua and fries. I love that the portion is generous. My chop steak was seasoned well and like I said, the Mac salad was ono. Next time I’m in search of food, I’ll be sure to stop by again.“

“We enjoyed this restaurant very much. With a party of 17 it can be a challenge to serve so many efficiently. The staff excelled at their jobs serving delicious plates quickly with Aloha. The sushi chef is superb and the whole atmosphere here was joyful and welcoming. A must try... the Ube Creme Brulee. I will definitely be back again and highly recommend others to give it a try too!“

“Loved our meals from here. The Calamari was huge and the fish dishes were incredible. Also, offer vegan tofu options. It is outside a large food truck garden, but we took our food into the garden to eat, because it was beautiful in there too.“

“Always 5 star food and service! Ryan is one of 3 servers we sit with regularly and he is always attentive and prompt. By far the best app's on Island - we always get the honey lavender shrimp, sushi, coconut curry with coconut rice on the side. This time we also enjoyed the Octopus which was also delicious. Ribeye is always stellar and we add on the Sweet potato Mash because it's silky and ono. Our only request is to bring back the coconut rice - it's soo good! Brent is a stellar Manager and he always makes you feel right at home!“

“Came here twice in a day. Absolutely fabulous food with reasonable price on the island. If you are on Maui, no matter where you are, you need to come here and try. No seats, no problem! Create your own dinning area either by the store, on the car dash or hood. Service super fast. Chefs are singing in the kitchen to the radio, and they are not showing it to the customer. I can only imagine how positive this team is.PS: if you tried Giovani garlic shrimp on Oahu, forget about that and order garlic shrimp here. I’ve already told Giovani their food is mediocre and overpriced, and one time business to tourists.“

“Consistently amazing food. One of the few trucks on the island that you feel like you've had a healthy and super tasty meal. The side salad is so delicious and the cook/server is super kind and helpful. This truck is the only one that I know of that asks to be paid after your food is served.“

“My Family was highly recommended to go eat at this place, Let me tell ,We were Not Disappointed, Food was Perfect, Well displayed on our plates our table was set up nicely flowers an all,our wait staff was Curtious and Attentive to us. I as Well Highly Recommend Da Kitchen ????“

“This was my kids’ favorite part of our Maui trip. Actual quotes: “100 times better than Kona ice.” (And they love Kona ice). “Can we come back here everyday?” (We tried a different place yesterday and came back to Peace, Love, Shave Ice the today). “Ok, let’s go on our hike, and then let’s come back here.” ?Only way to improve is to add more seating and shade.“

“Staying in Kihei while we were in Maui, we would come here often to get breakfast. You can order inside and the seatings are outside. They have a variety of breakfast/brunch items on their menu. You will see traditional breakfast food and Hawaiian food on the menu.I love being able to sit outside and enjoy breakfast first thing in the morning. The tables are right near the local streets and you will get a few friendly chickens walking on the side walks. This is a popular spot in Kihei so it does get quite crowded. Staff are always friendly and the service was quick despite peak time.“

“The food was very good, atmosphere was very good, our server Shey was amazing. She knew the menu inside and out, to say she is a people person would be an understatement, Shey anticipated our needs including our 1 year olds needs. 5 star service Shey. Thank you for your genuinely kind and remarkable service that made our experience one to remember. Humbly, the Lawsons“

“Probably the best poke I had while on the island!! Multiple different varieties of poke. We got the Shoyu and Hawaiian. And we also got a large (wayyy too big, get the small) shave ice with Lilikoi, Guava and Piña Colada with Pineapple Dole Whip. Freaking delicious! Great last meal before we leave!!“

“My wife and I dropped in for a mid-afternoon lunch. We were happy with the cleanliness of the place, and it is nice and bright. The specials were posted outside and the Kalei's Bento sounded great. We got it and a chop salad with no protein to split. It came with Mochiko Chicken, Prawns, Beef, and Macaroni Salad. We wished we hadn't got it to split... Wow was it good - every bite was excellent!The staff were friendly and greeted everyone as they came in the door. The were happy to answer questions about the food for those not familiar with it. We'll be back!Parking: The shopping area parking is free and plentiful when we were there.“

“After just arriving to Maui from a 7 hour flight, the food trucks were a welcoming site! It was great to have various choices. There were some that were not open but still plenty of options. We enjoyed dinner from the shrimp truck! Lots of various shrimp dishes with very good flavors!Wheelchair accessibility: The property is located on ground level close to parking. There is a lot of loose gravel used to keep the area groomed. There are picnic tables with attached seats, no wheelchair access. Lots of little curbs or to each food truck there is typically is a step or two onto a platform.“

“We've been here three times already in less than a week, so be warned this place is addictive. The people are very kind and the food is some of the best I've ever head. The fried Mahi Mahi and chicken teriyaki are both incredible.Parking: Very close through the beach.“

“Best food we had in Maui!! We came back 5 times during our last several days here and we ordered several things to take with us on the plane. The food is incredible (we had the beef stew, chicken hekka, lau lau, and chili) and reminds you of home-cooked comfort meals. The people who own this truck are even more amazing than the food and we had such lovely conversations with them. We will be back for sure. Until next time!“

“Ono! If you're visiting Maui, and you're looking for a place to grab a bite to eat right off of the plane, I highly recommend this little gem in the Lowe's parking lot! On our most recent trip to Maui, we didn't feel like sitting down at a restaurant after our flight from California. We found this place via Google and are so glad we sought them out! First, the customer service is top notch. We were promptly and kindly greeted. Second, the food is amazing! Everything is made to order, but a 10 minute wait is totally worth it. I got the ribeye steak and garlic ahi katsu condo plate. My husband got the ribeye and shrimp, and we shared with our daughter. The ingredients tastes fresh, and the sauce on my ahi katsu was divine. My husband and I both agreed it was some of the best food we had on our visit. Mahalo, 808 Plates for the aloha and delicious local fare! We will be back next time! ?“

“Simply the best fish tacos I've ever had. Every place has a slightly different version of fish tacos, I try them everywhere I go, and have my own recipe that I make from home. Until eating at Coconuts. I've never found one quite as good as the ones I make at home. The mango salsa, coconut slaw. And toasted double tortilla shell at Coconuts all combine for a fantastic and unique taco. Portion size is great, price is great for Maui. Fast service, great open environment.“

“This burger is a spiritual experience. I am addicted to the bacon cheddar cheeseburger. Add the hot peppers (they aren’t too hot, more like a delicious slightly spicy pickle). The owner is really sweet and the food is both delicious and great price with a pretty wide menu. But trust me and please try the burger it’s honestly ridiculous it’s so good. A good selection of alcohol also.“

“This place is one of our favorite parts of coming to Maui. We like to walk here on the beach in the morning to get breakfast. Excellent German specialties like homemade pretzels, tropical pastries like passion curd buns, and a nice selection of gluten free - banana bread, biscotti, and mochi are some of my faves.Convenient parking lot, friendly helpful service too.“

“So good. I had the Pad Thai (3 stars-opened the sinuses). It was flavorful and the meat and veggies were tender. My husband had the Chicken Cashew Stir-fry (8 stars-had him reaching for the tissue box) and said it was delish. We both had Thai iced teas which were a perfect accompaniment to the spicy dishes. Highly recommend!“

“My husband and I had the best experience at Kai Bar.. a new addition to wailea in 2021. stylish marriott pool lounge with the most amazing view at sunset of the ocean and islands. the infinitely pool reflected the changing light. Our Sunset cocktails were perfectly made, happy hour food was delicious with hawaiian flair and generous portions. we had excellent servers and bartenders, friendly and welcoming. after sunset, live music kept the mood along with perfect lighting and torch ambience. one of the best spots of our Maui vacation“

“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.“

“This place is a tiny little Cafe in a strip mall, but the food is sooo good. We got omelettes with hash browns, they were huge, perfectly cooked, and diner style. Perfection. And the malasadas are made when you order them so they are hot and fresh and delicious.“

“We had an absolutely magical time at the Feast of Mokapu luau! The setting was absolutely stunning and we had the most spectacular sunset and night sky. The beautiful voices, the music along with the storytelling, dancing and fire show - everything was stunning. The food and service (hi Connor!) was excellent and the complimentary family photos were a nice way to commemorate our evening! Thank you!“

“This place is such a treat to come to. They have a fantastic selection from food to drinks such as slushy's or smoothie type drinks with the normal flavors to the delicious other flavors. I got the breaded teriyaki with rice & mac salad & my bf got the chicken katsu with rice & mac salad. Hands down the BEST breaded teriyaki on the island!!! Then I got a large Mango smoothie & he got a large Honeydew smoothie. I will definitely go there again when I get the chance being that we were traveling from the West side Lahaina Town. If you get the chance to check this place out you should definitely try the wide selection of yummy foods & drinks that they offer here you will not be disappointed!!Parking: There were a # of available parking spots in their parking lot structure so don't worry about the parking.“

“Excellent service, our server Andrea was very attentive, never felt rushed. We were seated at a beautiful breezy spot which was a delight as we witnessed a spectacular sunset! Spago exceeded my expectation from the staff to the very delectable meal which we thought was a work of art! Everything was on point from the presentation to its taste!“

“This restaurant is in The Fairmont Hotel. While the hotel is very nice the restaurant is spectacular. I recommend this restaurant if you’re in the area. Nick fish market has been here for 25 years. I personally have only been here once but our guests that we were with were here 20 years ago and they thought it was great just as it was when we went. I had the 12oz lobster and It was great. Other people in our group had fish and scallops. They loved their meal so you can’t go wrong here. Service is excellent as is the food. Please make it a point to come in here.“
