I ordered the Hoisin BBQ Chicken plate. Their menu has a lot of different options to choose from. The chicken is so moist & it comes with a decent portion amount- definitely shareable. They are friendly & it's a short wait for the food to be ready. They are located in the South Maui Gardens. Parking- street parking or small lot nearby

I tried Aloha Prime Eatery when I was at the South Maui Gardens and was very satisfied with my meal. I ordered and my ahi poke was ready even before I put my wallet away and picked out my drink from the cooler! The cuts of fish were thick and creamy and delicious. I enjoy raw onions in my salads and sandwiches but I found these onions quite strong. I didn't mind it but something to look out for if you are sensitive to onion tastes. The rice was fluffy and I enjoyed the ogu/limu mixed with the fish. Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed my poke plate here and would come back next time I visit the South Maui Gardens!

This place is absolutely delicious . Don't let any lines deter you - everything moves pretty fast . I had the shoyu poke which is so tasty and the fish melts in your mouth. My dad got the potato crusted mahi and it is out of this world ! The Food Oasis is a vibe alone and is truly a great spot to come check out a bunch of delicious food trucks .

Love this food truck. Had enjoyed it last year and when back for more vacation time in Maui, decided to hit it up again. This time I tried the potato crusted Mahi mahi--perfectly crisp exterior on top of creamy mashed potatoes. It was very rich and decadent and delicious. I'd maybe consider putting the red wine sauce on the side so that none of the crispy bits get soggy, but otherwise perfectly cooked dish! Order at the truck and they give you a buzzer. Luckily no line on a Saturday night at 5:15 or so, and food was ready within about 20mins. I'll definitely be back!!

I saw this place on one of my bloggers . Prime rib at a food truck. I knew I had to try it since I love prime rib. It's my favorite. The place is located in a old truck park in Kehie There are over 15 or more trucks there so it is great location for everyone. So I got the 6oz prime rib, medium rare. It was 30 bucks. It came with mashed potatoes and asparagus. The dish looked great. However the prime rib was just ok. It was very hard to cut with a plastic knife. It was really chewy and didn't seem to be of good quality. I ended up picking it up and eating it like a caveman. The mashed potatoes and asparagus were perfect. I was really disappointed since I saw all the other reviews. My wife said it's a food truck, what did you expect. I want better for 30 bucks. Oh well . Oh a thing I didn't like was their credit machine. It was a tablet like thing. It was right in the sun and you couldn't even read the screen. Of course it has the tip set high and you can't continue unless you tap ok but you would of given the top tip. Took a bit but I saw a no tip but not custom tip. To end up paying for my meal. They seemed to have a pretty big menu. They were sold out of the French dip and the prime Philly which would of been a cheaper way of trying their meat. Disappointing.

We've come to aloha prime eatery in the south Maui gardens several times and it has quickly become one of our favorite places to get some delicious food with great service ! Chef Allen creates the best upscale island style dishes along side his wife Shelby who always greets us with aloha ! Ahi Bruschetta was so perfectly light and fresh with amazing flavors and the Ahi is always the freshest sashimi grade . the prime rib is one of the best we've ever had ! Can't go wrong with anything on the menu though ! We also tried the Seared ahi mango salad 10/10 Rosen bbq chicken 10/10 Panko ahi roll 10/10 French dip 10/10

The best food and service! By far the best poke we had on the island. We tried almost everything on the menu and it was incredible. Highly recommend!

Last time I was here with my husband was way back in January of this year. Now, we're back on Maui for the weekend, and my husband couldn't stop talking about Aloha Prime Eatery. After being disappointed with the pricey but low-quality food at our hotel, we were so glad to return here. Aloha Prime Eatery literally saved our day and they did not disappoint. Here's what we got: 1. Hoisin BBQ Chicken Two scoops of jasmine rice, delicious potato mac salad, and hoisin BBQ chicken that's sweet, savory, perfectly cooked and tender. Generous portion too! 2. Pan Seared Ono A special of the day and this plate blew us away!!! The blackened fish with mango salsa and mango shallot beurre blanc was a flavor explosion. The fish was cooked and seasoned perfectly. The mango salsa and mango shallot beurre blanc is unforgettable. Even the mashed potatoes were so ono. After a very good lunch that's truly broke da mouth, my husband immediately planned our afternoon raid because we initially went here for the prime rib but it wasn't ready yet when we got there at opening time. So we went back in the afternoon because he was really determined to grab that prime rib and bring it back to Oahu. And I'm so glad we did! When we got home, we just couldn't wait to dig in. 3. Prime Rib The prime rib was a generous portion, cooked medium-rare, perfectly seasoned, and paired wonderfully with horseradish cream and au jus. Who would've thought you could get such high-quality prime rib from a food truck? It was even better than what we had in Las Vegas. Chef Al definitely knows what he's doing. He's very creative and his flavors are on point! I am simply blown away by this food truck with 5-star quality and I am so glad my husband discovered this place. The service is superb and friendly, and the price is totally worth it for the quality of food you get. We can't wait to come back and eat here again! 100% highly recommend this hidden culinary gem at South Maui Gardens! Thank you so much Chef Al and Shelby for your phenomenal food and outstanding service!

Elite. Simply bomb. no notes. seriously. Just try it. Had the tuna poke plate and the French dip. Ridiculous perfection.

When my wife told me we were going to Maui for the weekend, I literally had one thing on my mind for a week and it was this food truck. My possibly bad and quick way of describing this is fine dining in a food truck. Maybe even an elevated Hawaiian plate lunch. Whatever it is, it's good and you will want to come back. Since the first visit, when I find out friends and family are going to Maui, I tell them to go here first and last. I honestly think they are better than convenient hotel restaurants who have the same price point but worse quality. Aloha Prime Eatery is both a high price but higher quality that justifies those prices. If your goal for traveling is to eat something unique, then this food truck is for you. You will remember this place and what you ate for a long time. Al remembered us from several months ago. I was surprised he remembered us and our first 5 star review! Let me tell you, as you can see from this update, this is a second 5 star as he knocked it out the park again! The food truck is now located in the back with the rest of the food trucks and still stands out as the lone blue truck in the middle of the path. To me, there's only one food truck here and that's Al and Shelby's blue truck. We actually came by TWICE today, the first time we came at opening as we were conveniently in the area at the time and bought the bbq hoisin chicken and the pan seared ono special. We originally came for the prime rib but Al said it wasn't ready yet so we came by a second time in the afternoon before we left Maui and got our prime rib plate! I didn't take photos as it's a bad picture when it's gone cold. The hoisin chicken was perfect. We've had some here on Oahu that just aren't the same and say Al does it better every time. The pan seared ono was just a visually beautiful plate that had all the right flavor combinations. The mango and beurre blanc was addicting and you just kept wanting more of that taste. The prime rib was a 12 ounce and the best prime rib I've had. Perfectly seasoned and put any buffet prime rib in Vegas to shame. Every plate had generous portions. Al's food speaks for itself. I don't know if a restaurant is in their future because the food that's made deserves to be put on a proper plate and not in a paper box. What I do know is this food truck and family business is going places with their phenomenal flavors as there's nothing like it in terms of food trucks my wife and I have ordered food from. We will most definitely be coming back again when we're in Maui. Thanks again to Al and Shelby for your unforgettable food and your generosity!

4.5 Stars Tried the Hoisin Chicken Plate ($18) - HUGE portions and really tasty. Mac salad was just okay though. They also had poke bowls and a few other very gourmet looking dishes. It took quite a long time to prepare but we came early, so perhaps they were still firing up the grill. The food garden area is lovely. Lots of nice, clean, shaded tables to sit at and well-maintained gardens.

Kalua pork, Spicy ahi poke, rice, mac salad.

Aloha from washington During our recent trip to Maui my wife and I stopped at the Kihei food oasis and decided to try this place out... it was our favorite meal during our trip. I wish we had more time I would have stopped by again! You get a ton of food for a great price and it was the best poke I've ever had. The staff was extremely friendly and the service was fast, and we love the ambiance of the Kihei food oasis. Looking forward to coming back one day.

I highly recommend if you are in or near South Maui Gardens, go to Aloha Prime Eatery. EVERYTHING on the menu is delicious, including their incredible desserts! The line moves fast and staff is very friendly. We will be back!

I was looking for a new place to try on the island. I've eaten a lot of places. So I thought I'd try this food truck. I had the mahi that was potato crusted. It was really good. The sauce was really good. However, the asparagus was absolute mush. Also, at this price point I find it challenging to eat with plastic utensils. I guess that's part of the food truck ambience but for me I really wanted a real fork. The reason I'm giving this a three star review is that it took over 30 minutes for me to get my order and the asparagus was overcooked. Otherwise, I would've given it a four star rating. To be fair, I don't think I've ever given a food truck anything more than a four star rating. There was not a long line that night either. read more

My fiancé and I stopped at this little oasis on our way back from wailea. I had seen Kehei Food Oasis all over social media and knew we needed to stop by and try it out. What I didn't know is that this would be the BEST meal I had all week while in Maui. My fiancé and I compiled a list of all the places we ate on our trip (over 16) and this place was without a doubt #1 for me. I ordered the hoisin bbq chicken. The order was HUGE. We split it between the two of us and it was more than enough. I'll be dreaming about this chicken plate until we can make it back to the island. I wish I could buy a bottle of the sauce lol! read more

In a lush oasis in Kihei, this food truck serves up prime meals, but it does come at a high cost. After I paid for a juice, I was disappointed that the drink that was advertised was not available in the cooler. I had to reach around and try to locate the drink for several minutes in the icy depths, and when it was not available, I requested a refund. Further issues arose as the employee at the register was not able to provide a refund for my drink. Finally, another employee came out of the food truck and was unable to retrieve the drink from the cooler, instead, he said I should just take another drink. I repeatedly requested a refund, and after the employee kept insisting that they are all similar drinks, and that I should take one of these alternative options they had, I finally succumbed and took a juice that was not close to what I had ordered. Although I feel the service could be improved at Aloha Prime Eatery, I enjoyed the ahi mango salad with avocado on the beach while watching the sunset. read more

Great new food truck in Maui opened by a friend of ours. Food is outstanding! Every dish ordered was perfect. I wanted to eat there again and again to try all their dishes. If you want to have the prime rib, make sure to call early in the day to reserve it because it always sells out. We ordered the fish tacos and poke salad. One of the best fish tacos and poke I've ever had in Maui and I've eaten A Lot of them on the island. You gotta go try. It does not disappoint. The south Maui gardens location has many food trucks and the seating is plenty and clean. Great location. read more

We came to see the luau at South Maui gardens and stumbled upon this gem. The service was incredible. A happy smiling crew and incredible food. The seared ahi was especially delicious. The quality of ahi was exceptional. It literally melts in your mouth. I'd definitely get 2 orders next time. I love that they have a kids menu too. A lot of food trucks just serve up really "elevated" foods and my kids won't even look at it so fries and chicken tenders were perfect for them! The beverages were also a really fair price! The garden is such a beautiful place to walk through and sit while dining. 10/10 recommend this food truck! read more

I've been to almost all the food trucks on Maui and this one is by far my favorite. Their Ahi Bruschetta is my top choice... It tasted so delicious it left me speechless and confused, in the best way possible. For a split second, I had forgotten that I was eating food from a food truck as the food was so flavorful it felt as if I ate something from a fancy restaurant with a Michelin Star. The service, staff, as well as the chef were truly outstanding. So friendly and welcoming, they even remembered my name after coming the second time. The location is perfect as it is surrounded by lush greenery with lots of seating areas great throughout the day and night. I can't recommend this place enough and will continue supporting and enjoying their hospitality and mouthwatering food. read more

This will be my need to start with dish every time we come here. My husband had the French dip, which, in His words, " This is Fiyah."

Stopped by for a plate of the Hoisin BBQ chicken on a recent trip to Maui. The chicken/sauce was incredible, the potato mac salad was a delicious twist on the classic mac and even the rice was perfect with a little dash of furikake. The owner and cashier were both very nice although the owner wouldn't divulge the secret to his sauce! (He should bottle it and sell it). I'm kicking myself for not getting one of their shirts. Also for anyone wondering, the whole Kihei Food Oasis where Aloha Prime Eatery was located was a very cool spot tucked away in Kihei and definitely a must visit in general. read more

It is tender, moist, rich and has a great crust! Sides of baby carrots and green beans were perfectly tender and the mushroom gravy was rich with big chunks of mushroom. The fried onion garnish added the perfect amount of crunch. This is such high end comfort food! Loved every bite. So far aloha prime eatery is 2/2 on the amazing meals scale.

This spot was such a gem on our trip! My friend and I came here at around 10:15 and they luckily…read morehad started selling poke then. The shop sells mostly liquor, but upon entering and making a left turn, you will encounter the poke station. I grabbed a 1/4 pound of the spicy ahi and then bought a bag of the Maui onion chips to go along with it. The poke is $26 per pound and you can get it in 1/4,1/2, pound serving sizes, which is quite nice. They also had bowls that you could get that came with rice, but I really wanted to try the poke with the onion chips. The fish is really fresh here and I was super happy to find The person working at the counter was very nice and patient as we were deciding what we wanted to get. I highly recommend stopping by here for poke. While you're at it, you can also go grab some Maui pie after eating here.

Minus 0.1 because of the mayo sauce that didnt really hit plus the knife work but everything else exceeded my expectations and changed my mind about tuna INDEFINITELY - located inside a liquor store which i thought was pretty quirky and the parking lot is quite empty too; it's giving ratchet vibes but hidden gem - quick service - i like that they mostly serve fresh tuna only and not that many previously frozen ones because foodland has many previously frozen selections IG: @nom.noms.only

Coconuts Fish Cafe

Okay, I could eat here daily…read more The line was long, but it gave us plenty of time to study their billboard-sized menu. We ordered the two fish tacos and an order of coconut shrimp. The fish tacos were massive. The fish had good flavor, although it leaned a little on the dry side for me. The coconut shrimp, however, were my favorite thing we tried. Crispy, flavorful, and absolutely delicious. We happened to arrive between their two happy hour windows, and while looking at the menu, we noticed that coconut shrimp were also available during the second happy hour along with other small plates. What I found odd was their happy hour policy. Apparently, you can only order from the happy hour menu if you've already purchased an entree and can show your receipt. I've never encountered that anywhere else, and it seemed like a strange business concept. Also, it is not posted anywhere that I saw. When my husband went back to order from the happy hour menu, the cashier asked if we had previously ordered food. He said yes, but our receipt was back at the table. For some reason, she had to go to the back to get approval before allowing him to order. It felt a bit awkward, especially since she was the same cashier who had taken our original order when we first arrived and we asked a bunch of questions, so I would def remember someone like me. lol That policy aside, the coconut shrimp were fantastic. I'd definitely come back for those alone.

I got the bread with macadamia nuts because i love nuts and they drive me nuts - nuts were fresh enough, which added the crunchy texture to my soft moist bread - could be more moist but it was already satisfactory - i like how they sell smaller pieces rather than a whole loaf but also it was more pricey - not as fresh and as good as aunty sandy's but decent! rating: 3/5 - since this place focuses on cinnamon roll, the rating is heavily weighted towards the cinnamon, which did not meet the minimum expectations of what a basic cinnamon roll should be - if this place was called the banana bread place, id give it a 4/5 - quick service nothing much to note - very small store; grab and go vibes with some seats outside IG: @nom.noms.only

It tastes exactly what it sounds like. They used to give the mustard spread, but now they charge for it. Either way, we are still coming back because of how fluffy and flakey the croissant is. You have to try it. We've tried a few other pastries and they were decent.

I did enjoy overall. The cinnamon roll was not hot from the oven, so I avoided disappointment. Next time I got the almond croissant. Pretty tasty. Basically they cut the croissant in half, filled in the cream and put the top back. Odd. Better between the two. Might be too sweet for some. Prices are higher than other places. I don't think you'll find anything subpar. Seems like good offerings.

I don't know what I'll do if I lose Nick's Maui. But I dither, Nick's Fishmarket Maui is in an incredible location inside the Fairmont Kea Lani and it's setting alone would be enough to pull me back even if the food was just okay. Thankfully the food is MUCH better than "just okay", it is generally outstanding. I rotate starters and salads because there are so many great choices. The Caesar Salad is about as good as they get, but I really, really like the Maui Greek Salad. With at least four people we start with the Seafood Tower, but find it just too big for two of us. Other than that the Kalua Pig Pot Stickers, Charred Octopus, Crab Cakes and Blackened Ahi are the starters I rotate through. For my Main, I am less eclectic. I have a hard time getting away from the Diver Scallops and Scampi. I have tried other dishes, the Abalone, Kona Lobster and Ribeye (I know, I know, who orders steak in a seafood restaurant), but I keep coming back to. For Dessert, I am also in a rut, but I love desserts they set on fire and in this case it is Bananas Foster. I do sneak bites off my DW's Creme Brulee, as does off my BF. The service is terrific, attentive without being intrusive. I used to joke about the Chicago store that if you knocked a spoon off the table someone would catch it before it hit the floor. The Maui service isn't quite that attentive and I am not sure I would want it to be.
