“Food is AWESOME and they give you a lot! Friendly staff!“

“The best chicken! All the bbq was delicious.“

“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.“

“Simplicity of ordering. Attentive cashier, even with a slight language barrier, awesomeness of that he really display his attentiveness to learn and understand customers. Clean dinning area. Huge menu options. Food cooked immediately after ordering. Mini plates, and regular to go plate size. GENEROUS PORTIONS, thank you! Food flavor did not disappoint. Spacey dinning area. About a merchant shop door away, outside is an outdoor seating area. Adequate parking. This visit .. well I went two days in a row, I had the mini portion Meat Jun twice. They also serve up Banana Lumpia! Get some. I'll be back! Thank you for everything Kings BBq in Haiku. -Rowena“

“The former Pearl's Korean BBQ is now Won's.

MENU:
Mix of Korean & local Hawaiian entrees.

FOOD:
Chicken Katsu
While this is far from being a Korean dish, it's what I was craving. The two slabs of chicken were breaded and deep-fried to a golden brown, and laid out on 2 scoops of steamed white rice. You can choose 4 banchan sides, in which I got mac salad x2, bean sprouts, and potato mayo. Their katsu sauce is too sweet, which is why I always do takeout so I can use my Kagome-brand sauce from home lol.

Man Doo Kook Soo
This is a Korean version of ramen but was anything but. The rice noodles were a bit overcooked and didn't have any chewiness to it. I like them as a somen dish but not as a noodle soup. The broth was clear, very subtle in flavor, and tasted similar to egg drop soup. The bowl was topped with 4 good-sized pieces of soft mandoo with a tasty pork filling, egg washed shredded pork, and cooked white & green onions. Temperature was hot but not searing. Better than pho but it'd never dethrone a ramen in my world, lol.

SERVICE:
The workers were welcoming and friendly. I got my order in about 10 minutes.

OVERALL:
Bang for your buck! They'll do well here.“

“Almost missed the location but we were happy we made the uturn. Got an order of chicken and an order of ribs. Chicken was great, first time trying huli huli chicken and was impressed with the flavour. Cooking over charcoal hits different and makes the flavour. Ribs were good, not overly seasoned but I like tasting pork.“

“Catered for a family lunch at Maui Heritage Hall. We ordered enough food to feed Kauai, according to some relatives who attended. We had a wonderful variety of dishes and everyone enjoyed all of them - esp. the leftovers to take home! Try the Roast Pork - it is really good!“

“Fantastic Chinese food. The prices are incredible. Locals constantly came to pick up food. The mango smoothie was amazing and the Kung pao chicken was delicious. The walnut shrimp was some of the best shrimp I’ve ever had (and I eat a lot of shrimp). Huge portions and the best price. You can’t find more affordable food on this strip. As a tourist, I came here several times during my trip. They had non Chinese food too, they had breakfast items, burgers, chicken nuggets, and more. I parked at the Kalama Beach Parking lot (free) and just crossed the street over to Kings. I had a stroller with me and there’s a way to enter the restaurant with a stroller and/or wheelchair on the side of the restaurant, near the smoothie board.“

“One of our must-haves when we go. It's been awhile since we've been, but they're in a little building now instead of just the tents over the trailer rotisserie so that's cool..food was delicious as always. Our party of 6 did a combo of chicken plates, rib plates, and combo plates and everyone was happy. Service is fast and there is plenty of parking in the lot next to the building.“

“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.“

“This place is legit. Just discovered it and tried it when the taco place next door was closed for the day. I've now been back twice in a week and it has instantly become a "go to" place for me.“

“Staff is great, never had a bad experience. Food is really good, mahalo to the cooks, it's a what you pay for situation and it's a lot better than what would be considered acceptable and the price is right. There's indoor and outdoor seating and it's in beautiful kihei so no complaints. Keep in mind, not all L & L's are created equal and we have the best food of all the ones on the island here in kihei.“
