Oh no! I do t know what happened! I thought I posted my review here, but I guess I just posted it…read moreon Facebook to all my friends the day of! I'm so sorry Fainthful Grinds!! My husband and I took our retired pastors to Maui to renew our 40th anniversary and their 50th wedding anniversary. When we landed, I found this place on yelp. So we had breakfast here. Wow! So good. The food, the service. Not a large place, but at the time it wasn't busy and we got to sit down. After touring the big island the week before, then here on Maui we all decided that faithful grinds was our favorite place to dine. Everything we ordered on the menu was delicious and made with love. So on the way back home to fly out we all decided we need to go back. Again so good not busy, until later the line was out the door. So glad we got to eat before our flight. They all feel like family to me. I even posted a photo of the two gals working the front with me. It's like we could be cousins. The place is truly a small hole in the wall with the feel of the islands. I would totally come back every time I fly down. I recently noticed that people have been complaining due to seating. Why complain? So glad they are blessed and doing so well that they are so busy. Unfortunately for us once I post this review, they'll most likely get even more people lining out the door. That what happened to our favorite sushi place in Seattle. Once I posted a review, you can barely get reservations. Blessings to you all faithful grinds. Until we meet again! Aloha

But, the biz didn't answer their phone. All I got was the automated "voicemail not set up" pre-recorded message. A coworker called, same thing. Another coworker chimed in and said to order online but I was apprehensive to do so if they weren't actually open. She then called and actually got through, but got yelled at and scolded, told they're busy and to order online and even hung up on her. Really? I get it that everybody is short staffed, so why not activate your voicemail with a greeting to "order online" or just answer the phone cordially and relay the message? How can you treat customers like this, let alone locals who are your bread & butter? OVERALL: If service isn't good, I can't continue to patronize or recommend a place no matter how good the food is. I welcome this second biz, to my new collection, "Bad Service".

You can walk up and order or go online and order both for pick up. The Mochicko chicken is amazing, tender thigh meat cooked with a sweet rice batter. So delicious you want more. Came with rice and cabbage bacon, the cabbage had a light dressing that I could not figure out but was refreshing and complimented the Michicko chicken. The Chicken Mondu was similar to a fried wonton with moist marinated chicken inside, the pork was cooked perfectly moist and full of flavors in a brown gravy. Came with rice, kimchi and Mac salad. Would love to go back and try a few more of their dishes. Don't panic if you see a line, that's normal because the food is amazing reasonable and prepared with passion. While waiting for our food I checked out their website and a great story about the founding chef and his philosophy. After eating the food and reading the story it all makes sense. Well done Tin Roof, continue preparing and serving Hawaiian cuisine with local ingredients. Check this place out and you won't be disappointed. Bon Appetitto

Everyone I talked to was talking about this place so of course we had to go…read more Nice little place doing a brisket business when we went on Saturday afternoon. Lots of seating, good for groups. You order then sit (I believe) as thats what most people were doing. They bring you your food (think pancake & Waffles) when it's ready and you grab your own condiments. I ordered The Bento because I couldn't make up my mind. It included rice, mac salad,1 slice spam, Mochiko Chicken, BBQ Beef, and 2 large pieces of Shrimp Katsu. Mochiko Chicken is light and crispy and the Shrimp Katsu was battered and huge. The BBQ Beef was succulent and juicy however the sauce wasn't overwhelming. Spam is spam. The rice was a tad dry however the mac salad was good. I did not eat any of the other plates however since all were empty, Im assuming it was Ono. Next to the register there is a display case with various desserts. The next day going home, we stopped by to grab some dessert. The Lava Rocks come in a pair at $5.50. Moist, soft and super chocolaty. The chocolate haupia bar was very nice and not overly sweet. The Chantilly brownie was very chocolaty with a hint of Chantilly and nuts only on top. Both bars were a Shareable size. Overall the staff is very helpful and friendly, the restaurant itself, very bright & open and the food was very Ono! Highly recommend.

We were there on a late Sunday afternoon. Mostly locals but in a nicer strip mall with a great Safeway for groceries and other business. Good parking generally. I just got a basic Saimin and it was adequate and tasty. Not best ever but I enjoyed it. My wife got the Ono burger that was in fact Ono brah! Nice small staff and pretty quick service. It was a better and more enjoyable choice than Tin Roof as inside dining available though food quality between the two choices is subjective to the one eating. Tin Roof is closed Sunday and Monday. Kaleis has some great deals on bento combos weekdays I was sorry we missed but maybe another time when we are in town! Go Try Try!

The second you walk in, the smell is incredible. It's got a great casual vibe, and the decor features a respectful nod to Hawaiian history, which makes the atmosphere feel really special. Even with the rush, the personnel were so sweet and friendly. I went straight for the Spam Saimin, and it was fantastic. Since I was taking it to go, I was worried about the broth, but their containers have a perfect seal--no spills at all. What I love most is that it still feels like a genuine local spot rather than a tourist takeover. They've got cool merch, but the heart of the place is clearly for the community. It's also great for large groups since the tables move easily. Something for everyone here!

We've been coming here for years and I've always enjoyed my experiences here, but last night I had a dish that compelled me to write a review. The oxtail soup which is listed as a favorite is a dish I've been eyeing for a while, but it's usually been too warm for me to crave it. But last night was the night. I'm getting over a cold and it's been raining off and on for weeks. The bowl arrived at the table with a plate underneath - smart move because it takes some work to eat oxtail soup. Armed with my fork and spoon, I went at it. The first taste floored me. It was perfectly seasoned and I could taste the fresh ginger, the broth was a beautiful brown color, there was plenty of napa cabbage and it came with a dish of a scoop of glossy steamed rice and steamed carrots, zucchini and broccoli. Our waitress offered to bring over condiments so I went for the soy sauce - sprinkled on the rice and veggies, I noticed that the veggies might have had a little sesame oil flavor on them so that made me happy. A spoonful of rice dunked into the broth with some of the tender fall of the bone oxtail meat, and a little crunch of the napa cabbage and I was in absolute heaven. I tasted my husband's pork adobo and that was equally as delicious as always. But that soup - that's what really did it for me last night and stays with me today. I walked out of Tante's with a swollen and happy belly and a fresh, tiny piece of ginger stuck between my teeth...a treat for later.

After getting back to our room I realized it was an ice cream cake so even as full as I was I tried to eat some cake before it all melted. The had the place decorated all up for Christmas. The lady that waited on us was super nice and kept our drinks filled. I love that attention.

Fresh off the plane, first stop in Maui is almost always Da Kitchen. We were worried it was lost forever a few years ago, but nope, they just moved down the road.

We shared the Kalbi Ribs, and we were starving, and we couldn't eat them all especially after diving into the veggie spring rolls and deep fried musubi. My wife that doesn't usually even like musubi, enjoyed the deep fried version Da Kitchen offered. So go for it..try it if you have never had musubi, try this deep fried version!

By the time you're up to bat, ready to order, a table seems to magically open up and wait times for your food ( which they bring to your table) are very minimal. We tried their quinoa, roasted veggie bowl with grilled shrimp and it was flavorful and well-seasoned but comforting after a long travel day. We also liked their burgers so much that we tried them 2x with different toppings. They also make very tasty (crispy) fries and we both loved their roasted beet, goat cheese salad. Since our condo was pretty close by, we opted for take-out one time and, ordering ahead online and pick-up was a breeze.
