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. @keyakiyamauiParking: park along kahului beach for free

Had the Tempura Don Bowl. It was delicious! The tempura shrimp were tender & tasty. All of the tempura was lightly battered, crisp and fresh. Definitely 5 star food.

Best katsu I've ever eaten, and I've eaten many across the world. The chef used to work in kitchens in LA+New York then run the one at Nuka; he's very good. I didn't find the staff rude, they're just to the point. Worth driving a long distance, and you can just go to the local parking lot/harbor front next to it to eat. Try phoning ahead; orders take 10 minutes to prepare as it's all made to go.

Food was decent but the staff was really unfriendly (almost angry at us?) - we wouldn’t go back.

Today we ordered the keiyakiya chicken, which is their twist on the mochiko chicken, the karaage chicken plate, and the typhoon fries. The food was absolutely amazing, the karaage chicken tasted just like it would in Japan! They even have hijiki salad (black seaweed) in the plate and it brought me back to my time in Japan. The overall plate was delicious and very filling with lots of chicken as you can see in the photo. I'll definitely be back to try something new!

Excellent Japanese food: Tempura don, chicken katsu curry. I want to try their other dishes but I keep ordering the same cuz it's that great!

Delicious! I called in my order for katsu don before heading to the airport because I wanted something fresh and local made and super tasty as my last bite before taking off. Hit the spot!!!

Must try keyakiya chicken bento! Unbelievably tasty!!
Simply scrumptious. I got the braised beef donburi. One of the best donburi ever (I love Japanese food). My friend got the katsu which was excellent as well.

I've had a fair amount of katsu in my life, and Keyakiya's chicken katsu was one of the best I've ever had. The exterior was crispy but the chicken was so moist and tender, amazing job by the chef. I wish I had found them earlier on my trip. I'll be thinking of this katsu for a long time.

Hands down the best Japanese food we've had outside of Japan. The katsu curry was phenomenal. This is as traditional as it gets without any stupid new spins or trendy fusion nonsense. This is how katsu should be eaten!
