28 Best Vegetarian Restaurants in Wailuku

“absolutely everything is delicious 😋😋🤤🤤“

“Great foods And drinks Go with chief specials“

“Sam Sato’s is one of those spots where you walk in as visitors and walk out feeling like part of the neighborhood. My friends and I stopped by and were instantly swept up in the warm, local vibe — friendly staff, quick service, and an ambiance that feels both classic and comforting.

We tried a little bit of everything and honestly enjoyed it all. The cheeseburger deluxe hits that perfect old-school diner nostalgia. The signature dry noodles are a must, and the super dry noodles with vegetables takes it to another level. Don’t skip the yakitori — simple, smoky, and delicious.

Beyond the food, what really makes Sam Sato’s special is its heritage. From a humble general store in the sugar-cane fields back in 1933 to a beloved Maui institution today, you can taste the generations of care in every dish. It’s the kind of spot where recipes and smiles feel like they’ve been passed down through the family just for you.

Whether you’re grabbing takeout or sitting in for a quick bite, Sam Sato’s serves up flavors that linger long after you’ve left. “ʻO ka ʻai i loaʻa ke ola” — food that gives life — has never felt more true.

A must-visit on Maui for anyone who loves great food, great people, and a real local classic.“

“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 ❤️😊“

“Great food, generous portions“

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

“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.“

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

“Tastes like home! If you love authentic Italian food and NY pizza this is it. 🍕“

“Friendly service and good food.“

“Amazing donuts, breakfast sandwiches, and burritos. If you’re burning thousands of calories biking out in Stilwell, you can afford to and don’t want to miss out on stopping by to fuel up just south of 199th on Metcalf!!“

“Omg. it was amazing!!! 69 roll had to order twice after eating the first one..“

“Excellent food great service“

“We hit this place to grab a quick, inexpensive bite after a long day of travel. We got great food and great service. The atmosphere is not the most awesome, but the owner and his wife were wonderful. Quick and simple. Had the hamburger steak, and I might try the Korean BBQ next time.“

“Some of the best plate lunches on Maui. The Mahi aka Kalei is insane“

“Had fresh spring rolls and the oxtail lemongrass soup with a Vietnamese iced coffee. Wow, the oxtail soup was unlike anything I’ve ever had, and it was delicious. Normally a pho tai kinda guy and I’m glad I branched out, 10/10 would recommend.“

“Got ribs and slaw today. Fed two people. Recommend it. Gary seems good people. Looking forward to going back.“

“We had about 8 hours to kill before heading back to Texas and all my daughter wanted was some sushi. We drove from Paia to Umi Sushi and we were not disappointed. We must have gotten there right before the rush because it went from just us and two other people to a wait to get in. It was fresh and actually cheaper than the place we in Flower Mound, Texas. If you see the place it looks like a whole in the wall but don’t pass it up. Thank you again and we will be back for sure!!“

“Pros: Perfect location within the Maui Ocean Center facility. Tables on edge of property over looking the ocean. Minimum to large menu with sandwiches, salad, and fish. Reasonably priced beers.
Cons: A-al-cart dishes with add on expenses for fries or chips. Some plates are overpriced and during lunch slow service.“

“The food is great and service is fast. My cousin who lives in Kahului brought us here.“

“The food is good, the portions large. The menu has 127 items, while not all are available, it is still impressive. And difficult to choose. The butterfish it's exactly that, butter soft and delicious. Sushi portions are too big for a single bite.“

“Probably the cheapest restaurant on the island! I check in late in my airbnb and they were nice to serve me even though they were about to close in 5 mins! I got the honey walnut shrimp and it was pretty good! Not as crunchy but still how I like it.“

“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.“

“8-2-25 My grandma has some speech problems and she was trying to read her daughter's orders on her phone but kept getting confused.. anyways, I know how frustrating it can be for the cashier however Eric was our person taking grandma's order and he did amazing. Props to his patience levels today and even more props for letting us recheck the order. Thank you Eric! Thanks to whoever hired him too!“

“Love eating here the food is always spot on, yummy & worth the money. I like how I can order my food & within 5-10 minutes it's finished & cooked & ready to eat. This is in the mini mall area kind of next to the Wailuku Post Office down the road from Maui's Famous Tasty Crust.“

“Still best Korean Food on the island. Been coming here for many years upon visiting Maui. FYI, Ignore the very nice waitress skill set. She hovers over while trying to make a decision in ordering--feel rushed. Also, she hovers again when paying the bill--like she may think we are going to run off, or stiff her on a tip. Management--it seems she just needs training to become a real waitress.
She doesn't seem understand what she is indirectly projecting to customers. Otherwise, She is warm, and provides good service.“

“This is a regular stop for our family. A two item plate runs $13. The chow mein noodles are super tasty and portions are large. Mochiko chicken, black bean chicken and garlic eggplant are some of my favorites. Give it a try if you haven't before. The value can't be beat!“

“I love Domino's Pizza Wailuku! Amazing customer service, quality and amazing food! Mahalo for taking care of Kama'aina!“
