Hawaiian Restaurants near Makawao, HI

“Great place. The bartender Sara was on point. Definitely recommend.“

“Great plate lunch crispy salads everything I have been there. Disappointed in the burgers and eggs on the loco moco. different crew on different days.“

“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.“

“Loved Waikomo Shave Ice. Beautiful patio. Shave ice was delicious. Even met a few locals. 🦎🩷🍧“

“I tried the veggie frittata—what can I say, it was a good and satisfying breakfast, especially paired with tea. The service was great, though the wait time to get seated was a bit long. Pistachio Mascarpone cake wasn't my cup of tea, but not bad“

“Great food, fantastic atmosphere, fabulous staff“

“Really good Hawaiian fare. We love the kalua pork and teriyaki chicken. If you get katsu chicken ask for extra sauce as they don't give near enough. We get take out from here every time we come to Maui. We got three plates of food for 2 adults and 2 boys (11 and 13) and we had enough leftover for lunch the next day.“

“We followed reviews here after the airport arrival and Costco trip for groceries and wanted affordable local food to start our trip. We had the Hawaiian plate and it was wonderful! The service was helpful and the environment was great because it was covered, and clean tables, and the plants outside Plantation plate were gorgeous!“

“Best shaved ice I have ever had! Loved the coconut ice cream at the bottom ❤️“

“Huge portions for Meat & Melts BBQ. Philly cheese steak. Cooked well and fast. It was bigger than my hands. Friendly staff. I wanted a little more spice or seasoning, but it was still good. My husband liked mine better than his smaller gyro. Mine also came with crispy fries that were good. Try it!“

“Best place to eat in Maui. Service, food, and atmosphere are second to none.“

“My family of 6 loved the food. We had the mochicko chicken, garlic noodles, garlic shrimp and spicy chicken sandwich. Big portions. It’ll be lunch for me tomorrow. I would definitely go back again. The staff were polite and sounded like they were having a great time in the kitchen.“

“Outstanding restaurant that many locals frequent. Owner recognized my accent as a Canadian tourist and we shot the breeze for a few minutes of his busy day. Large portions and good prices make it a hard to pass up. Already tried the location in Kahului, but this same meal better prepared and less salty. Mahalo ??“

“Great meal and friendly service. It's nice to have a local restaurant that features local food at affordable prices. Please keep your establishment one of my favorites to go to. L&L always has a consistent delivery of tasty meals and their quality is superb.“

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

“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“

“I wanted to go back and thank them for such an amazing meal. But I figured writing review was a better way to pay it forward. Get the ribeye and wasabi Katsu plate. The quality of their food and cooking methods rival that of any high-end restaurant on Maui. Probably better. Automatic ono.

In the lowes parking lot.“

“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!“

“They’re great. Fast friendly“

“We got iced coffee, tropical shaved ice, poke, nachos, and the banana bread dessert (heavenly). Dessert was to die for. Everything was delicious.“

“Loved their garlic shrimps. Side salad, taro mush potatoes, curry taste rice, and sauce were also good. It was a perfect size for me, but my husband said he wished for bigger portions. Shrimps didn't smell at all, so they must be pretty fresh. Eating area had a small covered area, so it was hot and windy.“

“I cannot say enough good things about Josh and Aloha Thai Fusion. We reached out just before the holidays to ask about catering our February wedding, and even through all the holiday busy stuff, we were able to lock down a menu for cocktail hour and reception dinner. Let me tell you, the food was AMAZING. We had already tried the food truck and decided we wanted Thai, which already made it so easy to cater to any vegan or GF guests at the wedding.

We had pad Thai, papaya salad, cashew stir fry and more for dinner, and the coconut shrimp at cocktail hour was definitely my fav. Josh and his team make the most delicious food and so many of my guests told me it was the best wedding dinner they’d ever had. Excited to drop by for dinner again soon and reminisce about how amazing our wedding food was. Mahalo Josh!!!“

“We ordered two breakfast sandwiches, one Spam, egg, and cheese, and the other Portuguese saugage(linguica), egg, and cheese. They both had great flavor, and were a decent portion, for a good price! The two sandwiches cost us less than one cost at a different breakfast spot we went to previously. The restaurant itself isn't very updated, but don't let that fool you!“

“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!“

“Overindulged! The joyful experience of our 36th anniversary dinner will be one that we’ll be chasing over and over again! We were overindulged from the moment we sat down at the table with the most beautiful view, surrounded by soothing live music. The care and concern from each and every staff member was evident, making sure that the best possible bottle of wine for our meal was chosen, that our water glass was never too empty, that each plate delivered was well executed and well presented and explained, when done each time dishes were taken away quickly, the pacing of the meal was well done, just everything and everything! Perfection! And a special note to Sasha- we already noted during our meal service- the finesse and skill you brought to the level of service was just outstanding! Kudos to you and to the team that supports you in making sure that each of your tables gets the attention that they deserve! To say that our anniversary dinner was memorable is truly an understatement! It will be that feeling of being so well taken care of and that every orchestrated element enhanced our celebration will be what brings us back over and over again. We already are making plans to come back and I know we will be coming back over and over again! With our deepest appreciation! …and then the food! Truly the best farm to table experience on Maui! From the amuse buche course(s!) that wet our appetite for more goodies to come. The locally sourced ingredients shined with their freshness and the finesse in which they were presented. Two highlights were the Maui onion soup presented with the perfect amount of cheese and puffed pastry topping- just perfectly seasoned. And then the Haleakala filet mignon, once again perfectly cooked and perfectly seasoned and topped with compound butter that was melted at table side with rosemary. (It feels like we are saying perfect too much! But we do mean it!) Then to end the evening celebration with our chocolate lava cake surrounded by white and milk chocolate fondue with banana bread and fresh fruits was simply scrumptious! Chef Junior Ulep, Mahalo for our special night, with our deepest grateful hearts, we appreciate your mana and the joyfulness in which you have chosen to feed us and our fellow patrons at Kula Lodge Restaurant!“
