30 Best Vegetarian Restaurants in Wailuku

“absolutely everything is delicious 😋😋🤤🤤“

“great atmosphere great people n ono grinds“

“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.“

“Great food, generous portions“

“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!

Thank you ALL for the hospitality and great service; will definitely be back ❤️😊“

“Da best Chinese Chicken Salad in town!!! And the service from Mike and crew was over and beyond!“

“Friendly service and good food.“

“My husband and I went here right after we landed because it was on the way to our hotel.

It’s a hole-in-the-wall place and we both got the chicken katsu. He got the kimchi as a side and I got the salted cabbage. Both were delicious!

Would go back again to try more dishes.“

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

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

“Our waitress, sugar, made the entire experience. Seriously the sweetest person we may have ever met. We left feeling like she was part of our family!
The $5 mai tais were a steal and you can’t beat the views after spending a family day at the aquarium. 🩷🌺“

“I can't say enough of their tempura chicken bites, So ONO!!! Today my family had their chicken katsu donburi, super delicious. Highly recommend 👌👍👏 Hats off to the chef!!“

“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.“

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

“Excellent food great service“

“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.“

“The best hole in the wall spot for locally made food!“

“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.“

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

“Teishokus are the Go To! The tempura is other-worldly delicious!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Delicious Vietnamese and one of the few solid options for dinner in Wailuku. Most people were picking up takeout, but we stayed to eat in the cute covered outdoor patio. Ginger Chicken sandwich and Shrimp Summer rolls were awesome and so reasonably priced. We’ll be back.“

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

“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!“

“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.“
