“There truly is no better dining experience on Maui....the food is so delicious.... you will not be disappointed!! The service is excellent and you cannot beat the views.”
“We came here with our two boys, 7 and 3 years old. The atmosphere was perfect for adults and kids, our boys loved the kids menu, it had different/better options than the restaurants closer to the big resorts which we were thankful for. Our waiter was awesome and super helpful with questions and knowledge of the menu. Added bonus was after we ate we could walk around by the water and see sea turtles in the ocean and crabs on the rocks.”
“Can’t say enough good things about this place!!
The restaurant is very small. We were extremely lucky to be able to snag a table at around 715 without a reservation.
Our server was outstanding. She made great recommendations, and was extremely pleasant and attentive.
The food was outstanding. Some of the best sushi I have had anywhere, and the kitchen dishes were superb as well.
A must visit when in Maui.”

“Great Food, But Way Too Loud The food and service were both excellent — no complaints there. Unfortunately, the live band playing downstairs was so loud we couldn’t have a conversation and had to keep asking our server to repeat himself. Two nearby tables left because of the noise. If you're hoping for a peaceful early dinner, skip the 4:30 PM time during happy hour music. Great restaurant, but the volume ruined the vibe.”

“Not your average cinnamon roll and pizza joint! Best in the world cinnamon rolls (I’m a 25 yr cop-I know my pastries!!)! Fantastic fresh pizza is a must have. But the Aloha spirit washes over this place and spills out into the streets like the smell of freshly made cinnamon rolls. After the tragic Maui fires, Papi’s c rolls and pizza were given out free…yes free! To visitors and displaced local fire victims alike. For weeks! One should note: the tip jar over floweth in return…as it should be. Aloha is reciprocal and magnified here. It’s not just a great place to eat. It’s a great place to be. The spirit of aloha is not the only spirit in this place. The Holy Spirit is so present you just feel well and good for having been there and participating in the example displayed. Be goodly, be Godly, live a life of aloha with good thoughts, good prayers and good deeds. Take care of your community your community will take care of you. All that, and the best cinnamon rolls ever.”
“Excellent service and great food… one of the best fried rice on the island.”
“Best hotel in Maui. They provide unlimited spa access unlike four seasons and Ritz, and location is perfect for snorkeling and paddle boarding . Turtles and seals are often visible from the beach . Not as many restaurants at other properties but the property itself is immaculate and leaves nothing to be desired .”

“Yummy nourishing food, and an adorable peaceful vibe. We had the Soba Bowl and Naked Burrito Bowl, and both were full of color and taste. Despite being busy and a small little restaurant, the food came out right on time. We would highly recommend this wonderful little spot. 🙏🏻”

“First time in Maui and found this gem! Delicious mochi! The white chocolate dipping sauce with the poi Mochi was delicious and the lychee with the pog sauce was wonderful!”
“Great food and drinks and scenic views make this a fun place. We love sitting at the large bar.”

“So good! We had the Bloody Mary and Boa Monday specials for lunch (1 duck, 1 puffed shrimp) and then came back for dinner later too try the scallion pancakes, kurobuta pork dumplings, and Dan Dan noodles. Not quite authentic Chinese, but very delicious nonetheless!”
“Randomly saw this on google and gave it a shot last week and I was BLOWN AWAY! The absolute best food on Maui. Their fish is insanely fresh! I went 3 times during my short stay and the quality was 10/10 each time. Can’t wait to come back, thinking about that Hamachi Lover’s roll everyday since :)”
“This is my favorite restaurant in Maui, hands down. The steak is great, and I loved the Horchata Coladas. They also had a fun area for kids, so my granddaughter enjoyed the experience too.”

“Waited in line about 20 minutes ona Friday at 1120. Was eating by 1150. Pancakes were huge. Almost as big as the plate and you get 2! I had chocolate chip ones and they were fabulous. Wait for a table with a view, it’s worth it. Kind of expensive, but not too bad for Maui. $18 for my 2 huge pancakes”
“I have been going to the fish market next door for years and Miss Arepas is also great. This is my first time trying Okazuya and I will be back. I asked about the sausage sandwich and she said “nobody orders that to be honest.” So of course I tried it. So good! The bread is so soft and the marinara sauce tastes fresh and homemade. Very tasty and the fries were delicious, crispy and perfectly seasoned. It is an off-the-wall order for a place that is stated as Asian on Google but they have a ton of variety on their menu.”

“This place is very a very unique and interesting place!! We had breakfast and we’re served by a new server from Cali “ Mati” like us!! And she was not only a sweetheart but fast and one of the only servers doing circles in the whole restaurant and still making sure we we’re doing okay the whole time. The food was great. And definitely will be back??”
“This cantina is a gem! From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere wraps you in warmth and hospitality. Every wall offers something visually captivating—the design is a masterclass in eye-catching details. And the food? Unbelievable. Each dish bursts with flavor, perfectly balancing freshness and a farm-to-table vibe that feels intentional and nourishing. Even their non-alcoholic beverages impressed—refreshing, thoughtfully crafted, and just as memorable as the meal. If you’re in Honokowai, this place is a must-stop❣️”
“We just so happened to stumble upon Slappy Cakes while driving by in Maui! We decided to check it out before heading back home from vacation and Slappy Cakes did NOT disappoint!! The food was incredible, the atmosphere was great, and everyone was very friendly. Coy was our server and we will never forget how awesome he was!! Not only was he an excellent and very prompt server but he stayed after closing time to finish a conversation with us about the island that left a lasting impact on our hearts. Most would have pushed us out, but not a single staff at Slappy Cakes rushed us out at close so we could enjoy our meal and our experience while also making powerful connections! The world needs more people like Coy!! ❤️ 🥞”
“Love, love, love! Must do in Waikiki.”
“Ulamni offers an elevated breakfast buffet that truly stands out. I loved the mix of classic breakfast favorites—like the omelet bar and waffles—paired with thoughtful local touches such as Portuguese sausage and tropical-inspired pastries. The addition of healthy, Asian-influenced options like stir-fried vegetables, fish, and dumplings makes the spread feel unique and well-balanced. There is genuinely something for everyone.
The dining room is beautifully designed, comfortable, and surprisingly quiet for a buffet. No matter where you sit, you get a stunning view of the ocean, which makes the whole experience feel even more special.
Highly recommend starting your morning here.”
“We stayed for 4 nights in the resort for my aloha birthday dream getaway and it was truly amazing stay. The staffs are so friendly and accommodating mostly are Filipinos like me. Our room was upgraded to a partial ocean view which makes us feel so special though breakfast buffet is just fair not much of food selections. Overall the resort is amazing with pool views and the beach!”

Cheap Eats
“It is the only full starbucks on the kaanapali walkway. However this starbucks does not have digital ordering system yet, so I haven't figured out how to track my starbuck purchase challenges. Phone purchases still work though along with basic point per dollar tracking.”
“Look at the color all around this beautiful Panda Express Maui in Lahaina. I love creamy color and white. So i give it a four star, the place has a two electricity outlet outside where anyone can charge up their cellphones or gadgets. It has a variety of food to choose from. Check it out! Bring your friends and your family.”
“For Starbucks this is a comfortable, dependable, above standard offering. With a long line it only took nine minutes and forty two seconds from lining up to having a coffee in my hand - and I ordered a specialty coffee.
My cortado tasted great - creamy and hit the spot.
The rest of the store was well put together.
If you're looking for Starbucks on a resort - no complaints here!”
“Had the Lime Coconut drink at happy hour. Delicious!!! Enjoyed the cliff diving ceremony but what really struck me was the guitar playing and the hula dancer. She was so graceful and beautiful. Wish I could see it every day.”
“Location is obviously phenomenal. Staff make it special. Like each one, it’s silly how nice they are. Latte was always tasty. Pastries yummy. Started my mornings here while staying at the hotel and it was always excellent.”

“The best part about this place is the SERVICE. I wish I had their names, but each person working was incredibly friendly, helpful, and accommodating. The food and drinks were fantastic too - we were last here 3.5 years ago when there was a limited menu. It was great to see all the great offerings. Lots of great options!”

“Very few food spots on Maui have the array of food, reasonable price, quality, and taste as Nikki’s Pizza – and the staff are nice persons. We’ve been visiting there for 20 years, Additionally, how many other places have the owner working there to ensure the qualities mentioned? 6 of 5 stars!”

“Every visit to Maui my wife and I wound up at kohola brewery on many nights! Why? Great atmosphere, delicious beer (Waterman our favorite), and - most of all - a warm & welcoming people!! Also, music which ranged in quality from fantastic to …not good, all of which made kohola our favorite pub on Maui!!!”
“The service is about to get allot better. They are bringing in a ringer. This dude can handle a floor by himself. He's like a duck in water. Mind you if the whole place is full you must be patient. I guarantee there won't be any sloppy moves. Remember there were only a few servers. It starts at the hostess/ host stand on giving the guests an accurate wait time. Just because you get sat doesn't mean the server is ready for you. But there is no excuse for some of the comments I read. This is about to be fixed. This guy is going to train the rest of the staff that need help. I can't wait to see the improvement. It's about having fun and being on top of your game. Every move must be 3 steps in advance. You should never be looking around for a coffee refill of wanting a check. If there is an issue with your food the 3 minute check back is when you get to voice your opinion. If a server asks "how is everything? " be honest. We want you to enjoy it. Don't feel bad letting us know how we can improve your meal. That's what we get paid to do. We wanna know! If you haven't figured it out yet... I'm the ringer. Come see me and the rest of the new improved crew. We look forward to making your day start out right. Then get on out and enjoy Maui!”

“We went for dinner and put our name on this list and went to bar. Ignored and then when others came and sit beside us they were greeted and were assisted asap. Im not one throw race card but it seemed very prevalent...politely left and went next door to Lelani and was treated great and like a valued customer! please do better Hula grill!”
“Roy’s has alway been a longtime favorite restaurant. Whenever we happen to come upon a Roy’s in our travels to Hawaii, we make a point to enjoy a meal there. Longtime favorites include Szechuan grilled pork ribs and misoyaki butterfish. \n\nOn this particular visit, we arrived and had easy (and free) parking. The restaurant itself has been updated since our last visit, but it feel like it needs a serious update (feels like a huge open room), not just in atmosphere but the menu is still very similar to the one we’ve seen for decades. Is it resting on its laurels? \n\nOur server was fine, if we had to wait a smidge too long (long enough that we were asking ourselves where he went) for him to check on us while dining. We again ordered our favorites. Ribs were good, and the butterfish, while still delicious, wasn’t the dish we have raved about. The salmon was also very good. The chocolate toffee mousse cake was very good, but one should really give the Ube cheesecake a try. \n\nI sincerely hope Roy’s is still around on our next visit. It felt like an old standard that is at the end of its relevancy span.”

“Visited twice. Once for happy hour and then for dinner.
The drinks here are outstanding and definitely worth giving a try. The fried items we tried - Calamari, Niu Shrimp were a bit oily although very tasty. The lemon garlic aioli with the calamari was great.
We also tried their nachos with poke which was decent too.
The portion sizes are big.”

“The food is delicious, fresh, tasty and delightful. You can tell they are proud of their food. They put effort in their product. The variety of options from the pizza toppings, delicious wagyu burger, salad options, gyros, desserts and ice cream which is actually gelato consistency with so many options in flavors. And for those who love fries these are great so crunchy and fresh!
The service and cleanliness is worth mentioning and effort by the great staff from the cooks Alberto and Arturo, the friendly and helpful cashier Angela and awesome manger Nicholas. Not to forget the pineapple robot that serves at tables.
The prices, ambience, and location is top notch considering that it was so easy to get to and open late. It's at walking distance from our hotel and other resorts.
I'm looking forward to coming back soon and bringing some friends along with me the next time around!!!!”
