I recently visited Ma' Lei Stand, and I am still thinking about the meal I had. If you are looking for authentic, flavor-packed Hawaiian food in San Antonio, look no further—this is hands down the best spot in the city. I ordered the pineapple meatballs and the chicken curry with coconut corn, and everything was absolutely delicious. The pineapple meatballs had the perfect balance of sweet and savory, and the chicken curry was rich, comforting, and packed with flavor. The coconut corn was the perfect side to tie it all together—creamy and fresh. The vibe, the food, and the service were all top-notch. I can't recommend this place enough. If you haven't been yet, you are missing out!

Well I'll be honest If not very much authentic Hawaiian here about the most authentic Hawaiian dish they have is the chicken and it's only Hawaiian because it's flipped over and over again in the same way it's cooked in Hawaii it seems more like a Hawaiian Japanese Korean fusion restaurant and if that's your thing teriyaki is definitely a flavor they love here. 🙏🙏🙏

Born & raised in Hawaii, moved to Texas years ago, when I see a local Hawaiian restaurant I checked them out, this place was disappointing! My hubby had the kalua pig w/ cabbage and it tasted so bland even with added soy sauce. I had chicken katsu & mushy rice, I swear the chicken katsu looks like chicken tenders. This is first & last time I'll come and eat here, not worth spending $38 for 2 people. Overpriced for tasteless food.

Such an enjoyable experience!! My friend and I came by on a whim and decided to try it out. Everything we tasted was absolutely delicious, hot, and fresh! The rice was warm and sticky, while the flavor was plain, it was perfect for the salty and savory chicken. The coconut creamed corn didn’t quite have a coconut taste, which I was hoping for, but it was tasty nonetheless. My friend tried the kimchi and coconut shrimp and was absolutely pleased. The kind lady with pink hair (I forgot her name) was very kind and told us all about the events they have coming up! I highly recommend visiting and I can’t wait to come back for more!

I went last week Saturday with my daughter and we are not impressed with macsalad nor the chicken katsu. The drinks too much ice didn't taste good.
Such nice people. Great food. Very large portion and tasted fresh.

Amazing food, friendly staff. I got the pineapple meatball plate and my wife got the Huli Huli chicken. The coconut creamed corn is awesome. Can't wait to come back till I've had everything on the menu at least once.
