Our table had the most incredible view of the sunset, our waiter, John, went above and beyond to make our dinner and amazing experience!! Food was delicious, drinks and wine outstanding! Thank you staff for making our dinner experience a very special occasion!! We'll be back!!“

“great service nice atmosphere“

“Definitely five stars! Humu at Grand Wailea, Waldorf Astoria, on Maui was a wonderful dining experience. The seafood was absolutely delicious, and the oysters were the highlight: fresh, delicate, and full of incredible ocean flavor. I would happily return just for them! I also highly recommend the sliced fish platter. It is a fantastic choice for anyone who enjoys seafood and wants to savor the fish itself. These are the kinds of dishes that make a Hawaiian dinner memorable. The oysters and fish platter are definitely must-orders. We would gladly come back and recommend this restaurant to friends visiting Maui.“

“Amazing beers and delicious food! M.A.C.K. Daddy ftw!! and Ahi nachos...yum“

“I've been eating sushi for many years and is the best I've ever found. It is so fresh and beyond excellent. The service is great and the chef will make whatever special requests you want. The Hamachi sashimi is amazing and the soft shell hand roll is perfect. My family and I come here again and again. Don't miss it!“

“We did a tour with Emily! She was amazing! We here there are Fy other guys who tour, but there is not a chance they are as good as her! Very knowledgeable, this was definitely a highlight of our Maui trip. We have a new brand that will be a staple in our house. Please let me know when you decide to sell Brum in Kansas City 😉!“

“Delicious bimbimbap. Very fresh!“

“I was on my way to the sunset views when some locals recommended this place and said it was really good. Since it was so close, I decided to give it a try—and I’m so glad I did!

It was excellent! Honestly, coming from the Ritz-Carlton, I’d say it was just as good. The portions are huge, and they are so generous! My husband and I are absolutely stuffed. 😂

God is good…Grateful for a delicious meal and a great local find! 🤍“

“I am an established “FOODIE” and have traveled the world eating at some of the best restaurants in the world. This dinner, while expensive, was genuinely one of the best meals and experiences I’ve ever had! I sat near the kitchen for about 3 hours and wish I could go back. Everyone was friendly, talkative, and informative. This was an amazing night, amazing atmosphere, and EXCELLENT food and drink! I will be coming back any and every time I am in Maui. I could not recommend this place and experience more! 100/10“

“Loved that nothing was too sweet the Tiramisu is special and the coffee tasted really good can’t wait to try more things.“

“Stopped at this food truck for lunch after a beach morning in Maluaka. Not much to look at and no benches or washrooms at this food truck spot (as it is just by the side of the rode) but the food was delicious and reasonably priced! Loved the fish and al pastor tacos 🌮“

“Nutcharee’s has been my favorite meal while vacationing in Maui. We come every year and go to Nutcharee’s 2-3 times. So dang good….everything!!“

“the folks are super nice and friendly! the crepe I tried-pineapple was delicious! fresh and flavorful!“

“We had reservations because it’s highly recommended as it’s a gem of a place and were greeted kindly - hostess asked us if we have even been to Maui Wine and showed us where the restrooms were- we didn’t even ask so I thought that was so kind of her. Every single staff member came to our table asking how everything was and if we needed anything, cleared empty dishes ect. - Explained the types of wine and our food selections for us and we left with some wine and jelly 🥰 It was an amazing experience! The ride there is beautiful as well. Thank you all at Maui Wine 💕“

“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!“

“I would go back to Maui just to eat here. Apparently it was on Food Network's Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives with Guy Fieri and the food is excellent! This is a small place with limited seating indoors and outdoors, we just happened to show up when there was an open table (lucky for us!) and the service was fantastic! My mistake was booking too short a vacation so there was no way to try everything on the menu this time, so now I have a reason to return.“

“I had the most amazing Mahi salad today!!! So good!!! ❤🤙“

“Excellent breakfast sandwich & pizza. highly recommend.“

“We got the bun bo hue and pho dac biet and both were tasty and seasoned well. Owner was nice and got us everything real quick as we sat in ate. Atmosphere was a little quiet and there were a couple of flies flying around but it didn’t bug us. The food was 10/10!“

“Great place. My boys were starving after a long day on the road to Nana and this place delivered. I loved their twist to a garlic parm wing by adding a little buffalo sauce kick. Definitely worth a visit. Not to mention the entire set up of all the food trucks. Works perfect for a large group all looking for something different. Service was tremendous
As well. Ordered 3 minutes before closing and they took our order with a smile!“

“We had our Montana State U FCS Div. 1 National championship party at Diamonds and they knocked it out of the ballpark for us! Holly and the crew at diamonds made great food and drinks in spectacular and accommodating environment. We had over 40 people and they made it work with multiple TV’s and sound. It was a great time! Highly recommend diamonds whether it’s a large group or just a small group needing to watch a specific game.“

“We dined at Kō on the first night of our trip and then again on the last night. Both experiences were fantastic. Try to ignore the sticker shock of how expensive the meal will be & just settle in for the ride.

Every person in our party loved every dish we ordered. We had the Ahi Katsu, Korean Kalbi Wagyu Sirloin Ssam, Grilled Hawaiian Catch (Opakapaka), Herb Crusted Fresh Catch, and Wagyu dumplings.

The Kalbi Wagyu Sirloin was so much fun to eat - I loved making lettuce wraps with the perfectly cooked steak, the wagyu fried rice was epic, the flavor on the steak alone was worth just eating it straight from the plate.

The Ahi Katsu was cooked perfectly and the katsu presentation was great.

Both fresh fish entrees had unique sides that enhanced each dish.

Our servers were both fantastic - we had Morgan on night one and Victoria (who was moonlighting from the breakfast buffet). They expertly described the menu and dishes and were fun to chat with.

Our toddler loved running around the grassy area near the patio, which made our lives a lot easier!“

“Excellent tasting fresh wraps that are so yummy I can’t recommend them enough. Great coffee as well. Really love the atmosphere and Gina and the staff are absolutely outstanding just super accommodating just lovely. If you’re in the area definitely recommend Thats a Wrap. Absolutely love the local art on display it’s gorgeous. We will be back love Tina and Steve from New Zealand.“

“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“

“My 98 year old Dad and I wanted something new to try...Dad had a crispy ceasar with fresh mahi and I had the BEST hot dog ever. Juicy, cheesy, cooked to perfection. The homemade potato salad was delectable. Service was excellent and friendly. Lovely view, easy access, and 30,000 dollar bills on the walls and ceiling...our new favorite place for a casual, delicious meal and terrific aloha vibe. Not to be missed!“

“This place is CLEAN, easily one of the cleanest I’ve ever seen in the USA. I rarely eat out because most places are honestly filthy. But this place is spotless, and the food is good, really good. And people who work there are amazing. Please don’t change.“

“If there were only one restaurant to eat at on Maui, for us it would be this beautiful restaurant set in a gorgeous setting of old Maui (at the Valley end of the foothills of the West Maui mountains), which serves the most incredibly presented and quite exceptionally delicious meals we’ve had, served by some of the best cooks, wait staff and owners we’ve seen anywhere…and we’ve been everywhere🤙🏼 LuckyweliveHawaii🌹indeed!“

“We had so much fun at this tiki lounge! I was on a mission to try as many Mai Tai’s as I could to find the best one! Pretty sure this was it! And then the bartender brought us out a mini size each of their delicious piña colada’s! It was really a fun place to be. The food was good and the drinks were excellent! The service was amazing as well. A fun place to go!“

“Great Time! Come early. Make Reservations“

“AWESOME Fish Tacos - Get there early or they may run out of fish. This is the place to go!“

“Good Food excellent services“

“Decided to splurge a little and treat myself and family to a nice breakfast in wailea. As locals we have our usual spots but decided to give this place a try since there was a kamaaina special. We weren’t disappointed. I had my fill of smoked salmon, ahi poke, bacon, and eggs benny (all buffet so that was a plus). Kiddos had everything and the wife really enjoyed the atmosphere. Not stuffy, great staff (Venus was our server) and the kamaaina was a plus. Coming back again.“

“My husband and I are staying at the beautiful Fairmont Kea Lani and the staff, service, and quality of food and drinks at the market have blown us away. We are here with our baby and Julie, Vince, Denyse and Lisa have all looked after us so well. We recommend them for every meal of the day and truly one of the best experiences of our stay.“

“I have to admit, I was little hesitant to try this spot inside the swap meet, but boy, am I glad I did.

I had the combo plate with ribs and chicken, and it comes with a side of white rice and corn. I also paid extra to try their kimchi.

Everything was tender and flavorful.“

“Tucked away just enough to make you question your navigation skills, Tienda del Sol is the kind of spot you don’t stumble upon—you earn it. This isn’t on the main drag, it’s a little off to the side, easy to miss… but thanks to some solid Google detective work, we found it—and I’m glad we did.

Let’s taco ‘bout the food.

We kept it simple and went with the chicken street tacos, and honestly, sometimes simple just hits different. The chicken was flavorful and cooked just right, the tortillas were legit (no cracking, no falling apart mid-bite—always a silent test), but the real magic? The crema and fresh cilantro. That combo didn’t just sit on top—it elevated the whole taco like it got promoted mid-meal. Creamy, fresh, herby… every bite felt balanced and intentional.

Now, fair warning—this place isn’t cheap. But the flavors do show up to justify the price… mostly.

Here’s where I had a tiny taco tantrum: the add-ons. Lime? Extra charge. Little extras that feel like they should just come with the taco experience? Also extra. At this price point, I feel like lime should not be a luxury item—it should be a given. Don’t make me negotiate with my taco.

Also—cash only, so don’t roll up here flashing your credit card like it’s going to impress anyone. Bring cash, or bring regret.

Final verdict: Hidden gem, flavorful tacos, worth the hunt—but be ready to pay for the full experience (and then some). Dropping one star for the “lime is extra” plot twist. Still, if you’re in Kihei, this spot is definitely worth a taco detour 🌮“

“A stop here was the perfect complement to our visit to the aquarium, offering a lovely view alongside outstanding food. I had the catch of the day bowl, which arrived as a generous portion that was wonderfully fresh and expertly prepared. My wife ordered the ahi nachos, which were equally delicious and packed with flavor. Between the great atmosphere and high-quality dishes, we had a fantastic experience overall and would highly recommend stopping by!“

“Excellent and great staff!!love going every year“

“staff is amazing food and drinks are 100 percent 😋“

“Super food, excellent service Totally recommend it Again soon“

“This is a mom and pop restaurant serving breakfast, salads and plates for very affordable prices. The food and setting are not fancy, but you pay about the same or less than for food from the local grocery store. You can get a meal for about 10 to 20 dollars. Very friendly service. A very convenient place for families. We were able to pay with a credit card.“

“Amazing food! There is almost always a line but totally worth the wait.“
