I absolutely enjoyed Tasty Crust, enjoyed the friendly staff and enjoyed the locals! Definitely a hidden gem in Maui for tourists. Thank you ALL for the hospitality and great service; will definitely be back ❤️😊“

“The Noodle Bowls are Great.“

“❤️❤️🤙🤙so ono the burgers!! And the staff are friendly!! I’ve been coming to colleens for at least 10 years and the food is always ono.“

“Some of the best chicken tacos I have ever had in my life! And the staff are super friendly and awesome! Highly recommend!“

“Chicken potstickers and coconut shrimp both very good. Fish tacos good - can’t say excellent as slightly overcooked and accompanying sauce was not the best I’ve had - a little under-flavored. That said, service was kind, courteous and *unobtrusive* and the view of the sunset cannot be beat. Beautiful setting! We will be back to sample more menu options - like the deep fried pickle chips.“

“This place has the best hotdogs, 10/10!!!! Oh and Kelsey…. I got back to Canada yesterday and saw this photo at work today, figured I had to say something. I bought the hotel in Colombia. Thanks for the advice haha was nice chatting with you in the airport before my flight 💫 hope you enjoyed Portugal with your partner!“

“Delicious fresh farm to table food. The tomato soup was divine and the steak, the steak was cooked perfectly. I was in heaven. There was a loud party of ppl which was a little disturbing only bc I was in quiet mode. The hostess graciously moved me, which i really appreciated.“

“Great local food. I highly recommend them if you’re a local or on vacation.“

“First time customers tonight and absolutely loved this place! Avery was very knowledgeable about the menu and made great suggestions His partner Jeremy rounded out our five star experience and we will be back before leaving for the mainland! Delicious 😋 😋“

“Great food, easy parking in a partially shaded parking lot. The atmosphere was very nice and quiet. By far the best part of Vanta Coffee Hub is the couple the runs the place. They are incredibly nice and attentive. We will be going back just to chat with them. Portuguese sausage and rice was great.“

“This is an enchanting little hideaway with an interior filled with a thousand treasures hanging overhead. The chef did such a phenomenal job on the food. I enjoyed every single bite. The red cabbage was very flavorful but I do wish the portion had been larger on that. The salad dressing was zesty and the gravy had a brandy or cognac flavor to it. I definitely recommend ordering the gravy on the schnitzel. It made the dish! The apple strudel is made in house and topped the foodie fest off beautifully. Thanks to our great waiter who really personalized the experience.“

“Fantastic food!! Great service!“

“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!“

“This has always been one of our most favorite restaurants. All dishes they offer are simply outstanding. This time we had Ahi Poke Nachos, Steak Poke and the Ramen dish. So incredibly tasty for a very good price. And what a view!
Update: We visited today again - Had the best Poke bowl ever. This is a must - highly recommended!🤙🤙
Update 2: We visited yet again yesterday. The food keeps on getting better. The crispy pork belly appetizer was beyond excellent. One of the best dish we ever had. Ahi & Steak Pokd were outstanding as always. I would give more than five stars if it would be possible.😀“

“Arguable the best restaurant on Maui ....perhaps Hawaii.“

“One of my favorite upcountry restaurants. I am always pleasantly surprised by how good the food is here. 🌺“

“I cried good tears this morning. I've never in my life cried because of how divine the food was. I ordered the crab cakes benedict, usually when I order crab cakes it's a hash brown with little bits of crab meat but this one is purely crab and it was so fresh like it was caught in the early hours before restaurant opened. Eggs were cooked to perfection and the hollandaise sauce was heavenly. It was love on a plate, my compliments to the chef! Service was absolutely wonderful, lovely and welcoming ladies. They were very attentive and efficient. Mahalo nui loa! 🌺“

“great service! awesome atmosphere! It's convenient, central, ample parking & 'ono food!“

“Great place great service friendly staff very nice food live music“

“It's a bummer that they don't have musubi anymore (bring it back?), but my favorite thing to get when I'm flying out of OGG is a hot dog from this place. I used to get a musubi AND a hot dog. Reliable and friendly, nothing fancy, it's exactly what a hot dog truck in an airport ahould be.“

“Rays is the place to be if you just want to relax and have a few drinks and amazing pupus or even dinner after a long day at work or maybe a night out with your friends . I went in on a Sunday night with a few of my girls... We had an amazing time . the owner Sandy ... Was the sweetest & her food is the BOMB.COM ... Hoku was our bartender and I have to say , her drinks were ON POINT !!! She made us feel so at home and if we needed anything we knew she had our backs . We also found out later in the night when the karaoke system came on that Hoku also has a lovely singing voice . But all together rays is hands down definitely a go to on any occasion.“

“I’ve been going to Shiek’s since the early 70’s and it hasn’t changed, literally, I think it might be the same bench seats from the 70’s! Adds to the local vibe I get whenever I go back and visit. The food is good, the service is friendly and fast!“

“Our server started off short with is and tried to recover as time went on. I would’ve given them 5 stars but her attitude and the plain onion rings kept me from being able to. My cheeseburger tasted great though. Just expect airport pricing.“

“Today me and wife had breakfast haven’t been here for awhile food was awesome and we had the bestest server Jocel she has plenty of Aloha! And she was on her A game Bestest server we ever had!“

“The service was great and the food was amazing! We ordered a breakfast burrito and it was perfect. We also ordered some French toast and it was delicious. Both were decent portions. The waitress was nice and helpful. I highly recommend this place if you have some extra time at the airport. The food was made quick so even if you don't have a lot of time it's a good place to get some food.“
