They have adapted the counter- service which is quite popular on Maui and when we arrived for breakfast in the line they announced that they have seats available at the bar so we took it. The bartender was friendly and accommodating. FOOD: We ordered the Light Kine and Big Kahuna Omelette for breakfast and the omelette was infused with a tasty fried rice which was very flavorful. For dinner We ordered I thought were short ribs but they were Kalbi ribs which was prepared delicious and savory We also had the crab cake and greens and poke bowl both fresh and healthy looking. Ambiance: Open setting with piped Music in the morning and live local hawaiian music in the evening. What a delightful Hawaiian experience to the "T" to start the vacation Highly recommended

Very good poke spot. Best poke in Kihei and near Wailea. The spot was very popular. Worth stopping…read moreby if you are near this area.

Wow, I am still dreaming about this food…read more We stopped by South Maui Fish Company's food truck to grab food on our way to watch the Kihei sunset. We ordered the catch of the day poke (marlin) bowl with the spicy aioli sauce, and the Ahi poke bowl with the traditional Shoyu based sauce. We also got rice and slaw. Both fish plates were fresh, flavorful, and delicious. The slaw was also very refreshing and complimented the richness of the poke really well. We will absolutely be back the next time we are in Maui!

Maui Fish'n Chips hit the spot and was definitely worth the visit…read more Maui Fish'n Chips is tucked in the corner of a small plaza in Kihei, as most places seem to be. This place has a decent amount of covered seating outside, but no seating inside. The menu is simple, and you order inside. We ordered the Cod Fish with rice, Coconut shrimp, deep fried zucchini, and a side of potato mac salad. The fish and chips were easily the best thing we ate. The fish had outstanding flavor and were battered and fried perfectly. If we only ordered the fish and chips, this place would get an easy 5 stars, no questions asked. Unfortunately, the rest of the food we ate was meh. The coconut shrimp were large and had good coconut flavor, but were overcooked and a little burnt, which altered the overall flavor. But I am guessing if it wasn't burnt, it would have great. I typically love deep fried zucchini, so I was excited to try it here. If didn't meet expectations though (sad face). The zucchini slices were cut very thin, and when deep-fried, I felt like I tasted more of the fried breading than I did the actual zucchini. My wife is a big macaroni and potato salad person, and she was not impressed. She said it had too much mayo and not enough substance.... I was pleased with the service and staff! Everyone that worked there was really nice and helpful. I also appreciate all the seating outside. I also thought it was cool they had a lot of board games for kids to use while we waited for our food. Very unique and solid addition! This place gets a solid 4 stars. If they made little tweaks to the rest of their side dishes, this place could easily be one of the better places to eat in Maui.

We had eaten already when we stumbled upon Kitoko, whose name I recognized from while reading. The…read moreowner (?) had his cooking set up outside of the food truck and was preparing the most amazing roast chicken, and curry vegetables. He explained that he made the specials of the day while the regular menu was made inside the food truck. We were too full however tempted, and decided to go watch the sunset. But afterwards we wandered back to share a dish, and settled upon the beef special since we hadn't had any all trip. We had the smoked maminha tri-tip steak, Okinawa purple sweet potato, grilled maui onion and broccolini. Beautifully plated on real plates and silverware. No comparison to the so many common $21 food truck entrees and cost just a little more. The owner also is very sociable and enjoys talking about this food in a variety of languages with passers by and customers. On the far end from main entrance to the Kihei Food Oasis, or right at the other entrance, depending on how you enter. I wish we had found it earlier or we would have eaten there more than once!

lilikoi meringue tart ($10) - perfect tart to me actually…read more - usually sour flavors like these tend to be too sweet as the baker attempts to compensate the sourness, but that highkey backfires because when the dessert is too sweet and sour i end up hating it - this one however was just right; not too sweet and it's got just enough crust to pair with the lilikoi braised beef loco moco - an elevated take on loco moco that made me realize a simple dish can actually be impressive - the immaculate presentation was one thing but the flavor and texture exceeded my expectations for how a loco moco can taste - the crispy rice was nicely charred; not too burnt; usually charred items taste overdone and burnt but this had a nice note to it; wish it was crispier though but it might be because we were waiting for ages for the rest of the dish - braised beef was extremely tender - sauce was great but i wish it was a bit thicker and less liquidy - the pickled veggies were pretty well made too; they were lacking some kick and brightening flavor but the quality is there shrimp kauai - the shrimp was so juicy and the sauce well done; so fresh it was naturally sweet - the head was golden too, filled with natural sweetness -flavor on point; i had nothing else to say about this dish other than it was near perfect - same comment on the pickled veggies here as above rating: 4.5/5 - every dish was well done; not perfect and can improve but i was already well satisfied - the flavor, texture, and portion made the meal so worth... probably the most affordable food we've had on this island given the quality and care they put into each dish - it operates as a food truck within this zen buddha looking garden - very cute at night with fairy lights, plants, and other decor - highly recommend - service was kind and friendly but it took a long while for the food to be ready; makes sense though given how elaborate their dishes looked!

Ordered takeout as we wanted a small late-night snack. I had the keiki grilled cheese, which was a…read morebit subpar since the bread wasn't really toasted and the cheese didn't seem fully melted. I ended up putting it in the air fryer, but it wasn't a big deal. The grilled cheese was also a little overly cheesy, but it still satisfied the craving. On another note, it seems the keiki meal is supposed to come with a drink, which I did not receive. Can't say much about the service or restaurant as we ordered ahead. A standout, though, were the fries. They were really delicious and came in a generous portion. Nice and crispy, they were definitely the highlight of the order.

The owner went above and beyond by making us burgers to go and personally delivering them. Even better, he's from Anchorage and we're from Alaska too, so it felt like a little piece of home in Maui. That kind of connection, paired with true aloha spirit, made the experience unforgettable. And the burger? Hands down one of the best charbroiled burgers I've had in a long time. Genuine hospitality mixed with fun. Highly recommend!

Well, I guess this is my fourth review. I need to keep reviewing this place because, quite frankly,…read moremore research is needed! I volunteer! This place is incredible. OMG. It's amazing. They can be very busy, but they have the ability to really get food out quickly, and the quality is always outstanding. Further, they have a few little happy hour specials, which we had never noticed in the past. We checked that out as well. We went three times on our recent visit to Kihei. If you don't know what to order, it's easy. Order the fish tacos. You get two. You will be full. I promise you that. If you're not that hungry, split an order with someone. But you might still want a second one because they are that delicious. Everything is fresh and it is absolutely done to perfection. I don't know what to say that I haven't already said in the past Service is fantastic. It's clean. There's lots of seating and lots of parking. What more do you need? Highest recommendation!

First Time at Maui Lobster King!…read more George and I stopped by Maui Lobster King in Kihei for the first time, and it was a fantastic lunch experience! We arrived right around 2:00 PM--perfect timing to catch that sweet spot between the lunch and dinner rush. The restaurant was incredibly clean on the inside, it wasn't busy at all, and we were seated immediately. (Bonus: If you're in a rush, they have a convenient dedicated counter right by the front for takeout orders!) The Details & Sides I have to give a shout-out to the presentation. George didn't think the branded logo accessories were necessary, but personally, I love logos! The more the better--especially when you're taking food photos, because everyone immediately knows where you are. We also tried the fries, which came out hot, crunchy, and served in an adorable mini fry basket. They were served plain, which is probably a smart move to keep salt from falling through the holes in the basket and making a mess on the way from the kitchen, but I definitely would have preferred them salted! George's Seafood Combo George ordered the seafood combo loaded with shrimp, snow crab, and king crab, which he thought was an excellent price for the amount of food you get. For his seasoning, he went with all the flavors combined and kicked it up to spicy. The Flavor: The spice level was pretty mild and manageable, leaning a bit more on the sweeter side, which was really tasty. The Seafood: He was seriously impressed with how perfectly everything was cooked--neither the snow crab nor the king crab were overcooked at all. The shrimp was absolutely delicious. The Sides & Sauce: The sweet corn and red potatoes soaked up the sauce beautifully. The sausage was good, though we both thought it would be next-level if they pan-fried it for a second before throwing it into the boil to give it a little extra color and texture! Overall, a super clean spot, great service, and perfectly cooked seafood. We'll definitely be back! XOXO, ChelsieFletcher

This place brings a lot of flavor! I was excited to try this place after seeing some videos on…read moreYouTube. It was definitely worth it! I went with the garlic shrimp. It comes with two scoops of rice and a small Mac salad. I will tell you that the garlic shrimp was some of the best I have ever had! I wish the shrimp were already peeled though because a lot of the garlic flavor and sauce was on the shell. I would order it again and again though. If you like shrimp get this! The Mac salad was one of the better Mac salads we had on our trip but it was still kind of average in my opinion. There were some little crunchy bits under the shrimp that was so flavorful when mixed with the rice. The chicken musubi was a big miss for me. Too much rice and not enough sauce. The service was fast and efficient. I would recommend coming here and would gladly come back. This place is reasonably priced for what you get.

Great food truck!…read more Photos of the shrimp plate caught my attention so I had to stop by for that. The woman working was friendly and chatted for a bit. It's on the side of the road near some apartments so there isn't really a place to sit and eat, but it's right by the beach so you can take it to go there. The shrimp was bomb but when I got back to eat, the sauce wasn't in there, which would've made it so much better. Definitely worth stopping by.

I love their salad too! My husband goes for the Seared Ahi. The Chicken Katsu is another favorite as well as the Coconut Shrimps. They have good friendly service. Grab and go. No seating available but you have the beach across the street. Perfect for a picnic before the sunset. There are a few benches there. Or take home after watching the sunset.
