50 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Paia

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

“The best ice cream I’ve had on the island and maybe ever. My wife would agree as well! Small batch, made in-house and very unique flavors that will appeal to everyone. Mia was so sweet to us and our daughter. Her service made me feel like she truly cared about our experience and for that, we will be back before we leave the island!“

“Excellent hoagies and the gelato was phenomenal. Great stop before the road to Hāna“

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

“If you come to Maui this is definitely a place to enjoy a home cooked breakfast or lunch. I’m here from Utah for 7 days and my son took me there. Excellent atmosphere. And the food was delicious at a reasonable price.“

“When visiting Maui don’t miss Paia, and when visiting Paia don’t miss Choice Health Bar. If light and delicious is your thing than you will be thrilled when you discover this place. Amazing owners and staff makes this a restaurant you don’t want to miss.“

“My wife is a soba connoisseur. This is mainly because she is very picky about her food. She loved the soba noodles, and I did too - though I am not a connoisseur. It's obvious from the bite of the noodles that it's made with 100% buckwheat. I especially enjoyed the black cod, and the crunch of the toasted buckwheat on the spicy tuna rolls. The lighting, decor, ambience, and crockery were all clearly thoughtfully selected. Service was also very warm. Soba, good people, and great ambience. What's not to like!“

“I love ahonui when I am in the mood for take-out that’s also healthy and made of whole-foods. I am not a vegetarian, but I really like the food here. I always get the protein focaccia sandwich and warrior cold-pressed juice. I also love their salted chocolate chip cookie when I am in the mood for a sweet treat. It’s large and on the chewier side!“

“We are shave ice nerds and try shave ice whenever we are in Hawaii. This is in our top 3 across the islands. The mango syrup was incredible. Our coconut one needed a bit more and the gal mentioned even before we took it that we should come back for more syrup if it was dry. They were great. I like ice cream but it wasn't even needed because the ice was so smooth and the syrups so flavorful.“

“Always fresh and delicious“

“Our last day on Maui brought us to Freshies! Delicious and highly recommend! Pinto beans, and the garlic chicken soup, wow! And the local beef used for the burger, so good! Mahalo!“

“Hands down the best in Maui! Brian puts his souls into everything he does.“

“The best shave ice in Hawaii and Hollywood!“

“All hand made daily, fresh, authentic, Hawaiian. It’s the next best thing to a luau. Definitely something on the bucket list one should put a check in the box.“

“Prices are now $1/scoop so $2 for 2 scoops, $4 for 4 scoops. Scoops are small but pricing is reasonable. I preferred the pineapple to the strawberry which tasted more artificial to me (bubblegum flavor). Short line on a Tues afternoon and friendly staff“

“What a great bakery, the coffee is excellent. And the malasadas are so yummy.“

“Delicious! I got Da Boss! And it more than delivered! Sooooo delicious!😋“

“Hands down the best Mediterranean food I’ve ever eaten“

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

“Charming, delicious, and a darling proprietor Lee. That's all you need to know. Now go enjoy!“

“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 have been regulars here for about three years. Love the friendly, laid-back atmosphere, the fantastic lattes and of course the avocado toast - but most of all the music. This place is musician-friendly and audience-friendly and everyone has a great time. Highly recommended.“

“Food was delicious and the hospitality was over the top! If we are ever in Maui again🙏 we will definitely be stopping by again 🥰“

“My wife and I were walking to Cupies to try their food for the first time. We saw some food trucks near by and thought we would take a look see. We decided to try Da-Soriano Grindz instead of Cupies. I built my own grinds plate(hope I used the proper grammatical structure?). I chose the Chinese marinated pork belly and shrimp with salad and noodles. THE BOMB YO! BROK DA MOUT! My wife and I shared it and we were both stuffed. The location is quiet, super clean, lots of shady benches(not shady as in Slim Shady-LOL) and the small customer-only restroom was spotless. There are not many food trucks here and we did not try the others, so I cannot help you there. Kudos though to all the truck owners(they refer to themselves as “tenants”) for they all pitch in to keep this space invitingly attractive.“

“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.“

“What a great bakery, the coffee is excellent. And the malasadas are so yummy.“

“Great coffee selection & friendly staff. Even if you’re visiting Maui, get the punch card! You’ll be addicted and why not get a free coffee after your 10th cup? The pretzel filled with cream cheese was a hit with my teen. Definitely check them out!!!“

“Best iced coffee I’ve ever had, I’ll be back our next Maui trip, every day!🫶🏻 Please get a location near Portland Oregon!😂🙏“

“Amazing crowd!! Great drinks and great company. Can not wait to revisit 🥰 🍻“

“Great sushi really nice stuff and I love how they even have hotdogs and really good snacks“

“Friendly service and good food.“

“Greg was an amazing guy. Talked to us the day before and let us know exactly where he would be. Found him today and loved the food! We are from Texas, so know good BBQ, and this was incredible. Highly recommend! Great guy, great food made for a great experience. 5 stars!“

“I am so delighted to give these cookies a 5 star review. I was trying to think of ways to support local businesses after the fires and I will be ordering more soon. Thank you for making such a delicious shortbread cookie.“

“Was visiting Maui for my birthday trip and on our last day, we decided to try some authentic local foods and I’m glad we did! 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 ❤️😊“

“Absolutely blown away, this is hands down the best Mexican food truck in all of Maui! The food is full of flavor, and you can tell everything is fresh and homemade. The owner, Laura, is an absolute 5 stars, she cooks fast, everything tastes amazing, and she’s happy to explain anything on the menu if you’re not familiar with it.

The quesabirrias are a must try, they’re the reason I keep coming back so often!

Thanks Laura!“

“Great food and service! Atmosphere is clean and fresh“

“Really good Filipino food. Extra large servings! Freshly cooked so it was a bit of a wait but very much worth the time. Our group of 10 people really enjoyed all the dishes especially the grilled pork, pompano and bangus. Forgot to take photos of the food as we dug right in! Worth the trip! Jayboy himself cooked the dishes then came out to have a nice chat with our group. Friendly guy.“

“I apologize because I confused you with another coffee company :( You all were so amazing during COVID with us HUNGRY HOMELESS HERO delivery volunteers. Thank you 🙏 so much for your hospitality 🙌 Aloha 🤙🏽“

“Ichiban Okazuya Hawaii is a must-visit for classic Japanese-style takeout in Maui. The chicken katsu is crispy and flavorful, the nabeyaki udon is rich and satisfying, and portions are generous. It’s a no-frills, takeout-only spot with limited parking, but service is quick and efficient. The menu features a great mix of local and Japanese comfort foods, making it a favorite among locals. Be sure to go early, as they sometimes sell out of popular items. If you're looking for authentic flavors at reasonable prices, this is the place to go.“

“Best Food truck we’ve been to in Maui Hawaii 🙂!! Trust me we tried a lot. So healthy and delicious flavor love the chicken stir fry! Salad dressing is amazing. In my opinion they have the best Smoothies! Don’t hesitate to stop and try“

“Absolutely. This is the one MUST STOP destination in the #roadtohana. Not for just the great coconuts, fruit or food but the chance to interact with Gale the owner and his crew. Truly enjoyed talking to him and learning a lot about Maui. 😍😍😍😍👏🏽“

“best casual meal on maui this year’s maui trip (i visit family every year). we got the keyakiya chicken — great texture (not dry), umami, sweet, and very lightly breaded (i don’t like thicc breading). i can’t wait until next year’s maui trip ?check their IG. sometimes they don’t come if the weather is bad. @keyakiyamaui

Parking: park along kahului beach for free“

“Coming from 305 miami and having tasted a lot of Cuban coffee I can say that albas Cuban colada is by far the best and only real coffee in Maui. Juan Manuel Colome Santiago de Cuba, Oriente 110% Cubiche“

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

“Such a good vibe at their juice box in Kahului! Great smoothies, fresh ingredients, wonderful service ♡“

“very good ambient, live music“

“Best pizza on island. Order online and pick up at window. Simple perfection!“

“The wife and I and a couple of our good friends went to see the sunrise at Haleakalā on the way down we stopped at the little bakery and just walked by and found this place went in to check the menu and the food smelled amazing. I got the roasted pork loco and soo good! Definitely recommend this place if you are in the area!“

“Absolutely delicious Thai food with excellent flavors. They accommodate vegan options really well. The ambience was great—cozy and inviting. We loved their unique ordering style, and the owner was incredibly friendly. He even gave us free Dole cups, which was such a sweet gesture. Highly recommend!“
