“We felt like VIPs. The entire staff from chefs, soms to waitstaff took such thoughtful and considerate time with us. They made us feel like friends, very comfortable and so welcome. The food was outstanding, bite after bite, taste after taste, each dish blew our minds. We love experiencing creative, cultural food and this tasting menu was absolutely that. We found the entire experience quite perfect. ‘Ohana Personally, I never write reviews. This time, I made an exception, it's fantastic.”
“We've seen this restaurant come into Kihei and we're so glad we decided to experience the wonderful Moroccan cuisine! The food was absolutely delicious, and the belly dancers were beautiful and fun to watch! The owner and everyone were so pleasant! The whole experience was fabulous! Thank you! We will be back again!”
“Unbelievable experience. If you come to Maui and don’t dine here you will Be missing the meal of a lifetime and an incredible French bakery beside. You must go to Maui Gardens and experience his cooking.”
Restaurants by Cuisine
“I was very impressed with this spot. Group had fish and chips, shrimp cocktail, grilled snapper and drinks. Everything was cooked exceptionally well, and such a good price point. Seasoning on the fried items was on point, with the perfect crispness without being dry.
Would highly recommend to those looking for this type of food, as it's a great price point and excellent quality. Note that it's a self seating so it's that kind of place, but we found seats easily (but like everywhere, look out for birds/chickens)”
Restaurants with Delivery
“We rolled up at 8am to a small line but it went super quick and we ordered the fav five plus two. Holy smokes were they good!! The donuts look small but they are dense and super fresh tasting! The proprietor was super friendly and had a top-notch stache! 10/10 would go again!”
“The pizza is absolutely fantastic! We've eaten at other locations of theirs on other islands and have never been disappointed. We were happy to see a location close to our Airbnb. They have a super cute patio you can sit out on with tiki torches to add to the “Hawaiian feel”. The only downfall is they don’t currently have their liquor license so you can’t order alcohol of any kind (including beer) but, the BYOB feature is a great option and a way to save money as well!”

“I know what you might be thinking when you see this place. Should I really bother trying to get genuine BBQ in Maui? Will this really stack up to a Carolina, Memphis, KC or Texas joint? Surprisingly, yes.
These folks know what they're doing, are super friendly, and their BBQ is legit. They're using local wood in their offsets too, so it is a unique experience compared to other places.
Can't go wrong with their ribs and I loved every side I tried, with the Mac n Cheese being a standout.”
“Super fresh and delicious food, lightning-fast service, and the friendliest staff around. Prices are shockingly affordable for the quality — easily one of the best sushi places I’ve been to. Absolute Gem!”
“Really good Hawaiian fare. We love the kalua pork and teriyaki chicken. If you get katsu chicken ask for extra sauce as they don't give near enough. We get take out from here every time we come to Maui. We got three plates of food for 2 adults and 2 boys (11 and 13) and we had enough leftover for lunch the next day.”

“Last meal in Maui last night.i had the best slow roasted beef short ribs and I smoke meats at home in Connecticut. So delicious. My common law wife had a Eggplant dish that she also loved. Service was quick and friendly. No reservation needed. Walked in at 7pm on a Friday.”
“The food is great! Had the chicken shawarma wrap, tiramisu and mint Lemonade. Not only is the food great, the dude literally gave us chicken tenders and fries for our toddler who woke up at the end of our meal, on the house! Awesome place, clean, great service! If we weren’t from Michigan we’d be back frequently!”
“I love Moose's for: the beautiful sunsets, delicious food, awesome atmosphere,welcoming staff (shout out to hard working wait staff, Amy and Laura!), & fun Trivia Night winning Moose Bucks! I highly recommend this watering hole and the wide variety of Happy Hour options! Check out Moose's! 🫎”
“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!”
“Amazing! Great drinks bartender on point….Sushi chef on point…fantastic locally caught fresh fish! Best meal yet! Awesome staff! Thank you!”

“Food truck in Kihei, easy parking and nice pic nic tables all around. This food truck had great burger options, I ordered the 1/4 lb burger and it was huge. The pickles were really good. I did not order a side the burger was enough it was so big. The bun was soft and fresh. I really wanted to try the onion rings but opted for a lemonade instead. They do have ice tea as well. The burger was juicy but not greasy. Beware of the chickens, that being said the food truck park was exceptionally clean. Note that bathrooms are near by (portajohns).”

“Ooooohhhhh my gosh.... Maui Sweet Shoppe is open and now serving weekend brunch!!!!! I had Mushroom Avocado Toast that was as good as Four Seasons food!!! SOOOOO GOOD!!! Since it’s Blake’s bday weekend they got ice cream for breakfast! He got birthday cake with cookies and cream and Hailey got birthday cake with bubble gum 🤪🎂🎉. We couldn’t get enough so I ordered a Chick Pea “tuna” Salad Wrap and Kyle got two giant ice cream cookie sandwiches to go! I think we found our new Sunday morning spot!!”

“We got screwed over by a bike rental company so we had to kill about 90 minutes before we could get the next rental. This place saved the day, they open at 10am, served some strong drinks at what was the best price we paid anywhere in Maui and were very welcoming. Maybe the Aloha spirit isn't dead yet. Thank you so much!”
“This is an unassuming restaurant located in a strip mall just off of the beautiful beaches of Kihei, Maui that offers delicious fish tacos, fresh ahi & shrimp salads and yummy poke. (I understand they have another location, not too far away that probably serves similar dishes.) The advantage of this location in particular, is the bakery downstairs that fills the air with the smell of the tastiest cinnamon rolls. The portions here are generous and the quality of the seafood is superb. No frills when it comes to service; place your order at the counter, find a seat & wait for it to be delivered to your table. We had a large party of 12 and were able to all sit together, a nice perk for us. But they did forget one person's order, which was kind of a bummer because he had to wait so long for his food, most of us were finished eating ours by the time his arrived. So we shared some of our food with him while he waited. Not a problem since the portions were so large. Overall, I recommend Coconuts Fish Cafe with two thumbs up.”
“Superb service, delicious food, cocktails and desserts! Wonderful ambience.”

“I have had several opportunities to eat these unique and delicious cookies. I was attending a wedding and they were part of the dessert table. Then I received a batch as a gift. I plan to buy several gift cards to pass on to family and friends so they can also try this delicious treat”
“Pizza Madness is the best pizza on Maui! Excellent crust, fresh toppings and delicious sauces, both the red and white Alfredo, a good choice with garlic chicken. They also serve up some fine buffalo wings and have a buy ten get one large free pizza deal along with other items for points. We mostly do takeout and the food is always hot and ready to go promptly. We highly recommend Pizza Madness, been going there for years and love it every time. Phil, Cris and Kyle, Kihei Maui.”
“We had a fantastic experience today at Beach Street Maui Shave Ice! From the moment we arrived, the staff was amazing—so friendly and welcoming. We started our day with their delicious açaí bowls and bagels for breakfast, and everything was fresh and flavorful. Later in the afternoon, we came back to try their famous shave ice, and it did not disappoint!
The shave ice was incredible we tried HAWAIIAN RAINBOW, COCONUT MUD PIE, FIRECRACKER, and KIHEI SUNSET with vibrant flavors and fun toppings, definitely worth taking the time to try.
Beach Street Maui Shave Ice is a must-visit when in Kihei—whether you’re grabbing breakfast or treating yourself to some shave ice, the quality and service make it an unforgettable stop!”
“We ordered two breakfast sandwiches, one Spam, egg, and cheese, and the other Portuguese saugage(linguica), egg, and cheese. They both had great flavor, and were a decent portion, for a good price! The two sandwiches cost us less than one cost at a different breakfast spot we went to previously. The restaurant itself isn't very updated, but don't let that fool you!”
“What a lovely little restaurant with amazing vegan ramen soup and delicious mochi dessert. We loved it! Beautiful and friendly folks! So enjoyable! Mahalo!”
“Super friendly waiters, fast on delivering food. High quality taste and even higher quality atmosphere. Highly recommend”
“Amazing service, food, drinks and sunset views. Kai Bar is a hidden gem in Wailea located at the AC hotel. We came back on a second night because we had such an amazing experience and sunset views. I highly recommend the Chicken Katsu sandwich and the Kai sliders. The servers did such a wonderful job both nights.”
“Awesome bar with great service. Spectacular ocean views. It’s pricey and totally worth it. They serve THE BEST Mai Thai on Maui. Sean is an amazing bartender: personable, kind, and down to earth. Highly recommend!”

“Remember this restaurant is open from 11 am to 10 pm. The food is so wonderful and delicious. If you find it busy at night, please go during the day. Seating is wide open for lunch and into the afternoon. Drinks are special and very tasty! The prices are reasonable and the ambience great. I would highly recommend this to locals and visitors alike.”

“Wanted a nice meal at their restaurant & they put us in a tight table. I asked the hostess to please move us as there was a huge plant crowding Jon & almost getting into his face. The hostess retorted sarcastically, "we can move the plant.". How's that for keeping a patron happy 🤣 Tommy Bahama”
“Spent an evening in Kihei from Lahaina, and stopped here for a bite to eat before a concert. The happy hour for locals lasts all day and night, they have great specials for food and drinks. Especially enjoyed our server Walter, he was awesome! Thank you for a great time”

“What a fantastic performance Brenton put on with Mulligan's Magic Show! I had heard about this show from another family we met while horseback riding one day on our trip to Maui and we literally altered our Road to Hana day to be back in time for this show... and we were SO GLAD we did! It was the perfect evening and a nice break away from just seeing the beauty of nature. Brenton was funny, engaging, family friendly, and full of energy but he was also SO talented with his magic! I have a 21 and 18 year old and they were so impressed, laughing most of the night. We caught a couple of his tricks on video and posted them and our Facebook friends were in awe too! This show is WELL worth your time and money, and Mulligans offered fantastic dinner options too. Go see the show if you get the chance - you won't regret it! It's truly... well, "magical". :)”
