Don't get the fish and chips. The batter was thick and just awful. The fish was dry.

The poke was fresh but lacked ingredients. It was a little too simple so some of the flavor was limited.

This was a disappointing experience. We ordered calamari, fish tacos and the thai dragon shrimp dish. Upon ordering we were told they were out of rice (who runs out of rice?) so we'd instead get a side salad with the thai dragon shrimp. What we did get was shrimp with tails/shell on, drizzled with the dressing which was on your hands by the time you peeled the shrimp, leaving the bed of lettuce beneath the shrimp dry and tasteless. The calamari was very sub-par as were the plentiful but disappointing fries that came with. The tacos were unimaginative with dry fish and bland flavor. Choose another truck.

Have been a return customer to Hooked & always love their fish & chips. Very disappointed this time…we were 1st to order after opening for dinner. It was obvious the fish was pre-cooked/prepared & held…barely warm & not “fresh” at all. Always loved how fresh it was & worth the wait to cook…not this time :(

The unit in which I stayed had large and small brown cockroaches, the unit also had old furniture and you had to pay extra if you wanted your room to be cleaned. There was mold in the shower tub. The room size is smaller from other places I've stayed

This is a treasure trove! It has been renovated… decor, furniture & kitchen. It has a washer & dryer with detergent for your use… in your room! There is a dishwasher along with detergent. It is across the street from Nepali Bay where the sea turtles swim close to shore. So be sure to bring your snorkeling gear or you can rent some from Snorkel Bob’s which is on the walk to the bay. There is a pool, hot tub & grill. Be sure to signup for the lei making class! They provide “real” orchids & teach you how to make your own. Also, they may have your room ready earlier than check-in. If so, they will allow you to check in early! Thank you to Lisa who is in the office & helps you get settled in. Mahalo! We can’t wait to see you again!
Everyone considers themselves the experts on “food”…I am not by no means. The traditional Poke Bowl is definitely fresh on the ahi side of things, which is complimented by a generous mix of garlic and sesame, including lengthy onion strips mixed into the Ahi. The white rice was of course very consistent and not hard at all; easily mix to enjoy! The flavors were not over the top empowering as had hoped, but the fresh quality cannot be stated enough.Fish & Chips was a long miss from quality as the fish was spongy and the batter was undercooked….one of the more unpleasant eats I am afraid, even if you have never had such a dish before.Service was average, but the food time was enjoyable and we were eating before other people that ordered at other food trucks.DISCLAIMER: Again, be ready to pay Maui prices and don’t be shocked when you see them. You will spend hours trying to find a “cheaper option” to no avail….pick places by their reviews, not the pricing in my opinion.

This was a great place to stay. Away from the hustle of other resorts and 5 min walk to the beach. Would definitely stay here again. Make sure you have a car. You will need it to get around to the tourist areas. Loved my stay and would definitely recommend.

Enjoyable and comfortable place to stay in Maui. The location could not be better, across the street from one of the most beautiful beaches on Maui. We were on the second floor and had views from f the pool and a golf course. The kitchen had everything thing we needed. Comfortable bed and two full bathrooms. It is truly a home away from home. I would love to stay here again.

Good but too overpriced.
