I was recommended this burger joint by a family member. Since we were in the area finishing up at a…read morebeach resort, we decided to swing by and order to go. Perhaps it's because we decided to show up 8 mins before closing, but the food and service were unforgettable in a concerning way. I had asked for my burger with no tomato (twice) and I still managed to receive the *wrong* burger and WITH tomato. We told the cashier our name twice and he still wrote it incorrectly completely. Also worth noting, halfway into my incorrect burger, I noticed a majority of it was pink. I got grossed out and stopped eating it immediately. The burger was not that warm to begin with. The umami fries were good but pretty messy, given the fact we had no napkins for a Togo order. Two burgers and umami fries came out to $50. Absolutely not worth it and not quality ingredients or service. At all. Additionally, the staff member handed our order to somebody else before handing it over to us. The bathroom lock was not operating correctly so you need a buddy system. The bathroom appeared clean, but reeked of urine. I do not recommend this establishment and definitely will not be returning.

Great food and beer. Our young server was very attentive…read more They have a good variety of food and beer. A small mix-up, we ordered bacon in our loaded fries and they didn't make it on them, we missed that they were still on our bill until later. All the staff were pleasant.

We also decided to order an appetizer, giant pretzel. The pretzel was our quickly and tasted like it just came out of the oven. The cheese dip also had good flavor. The was a great start to the meal. Too bad this would be the highlight! I ordered the fish of the day. The waiter said it was bluefin? Never heard of a bluefin except for a tuna and this was not tuna!! The fish had a chewy meaty consistency and not much flavor. I didn't finish it. I had onion rings as my side. Rings not bad. My wife ordered a chicken sandwich with FF. She said it was good. The atmosphere was nice but nothing special and no view of the ocean. I would think twice about going here

Often times when eating a burger, you very rarely get that feeling of "Oh, THIS is a burger" with…read morehow many fast food versions of it exist, bur Swagyy Hawaii is DEFINITELY one of those that gave me that feeling. Their classic burger, the cheese katsu, the western - all of them did not disappoint, and the staff were super friendly and the restaurant allowed for a great atmosphere and space to enjoy my food. Seriously recommend anyone looking to try some of the best quality burgers on Maui to visit Swagyu at least once and have their burgers change your life (you can even add and combine things together, like have the cheese katsu added with any of their burgers) - Miguel Morales Photography

A5 Wagyu Smash Burgers? Sign me up everyday of the week!…read more We were staying in the West Side of the island, and saw this place pop up on Yelp and knew I had to give it a try. I went all in and went with the 3x3 which in hindsight was way more than I needed. The meat is rich which means a single or 2x2 is all you need. The crisp on the smash was perfection and the bun was pillowy soft. The sauce complimented everything well. My only regret was not asking if they had Serrano peppers before I ordered bc that would've added a whole other level to an already amazing burger. $30 well spent. If you just look at the menu, you might have sticker shock, but they are using A5 meat for the burgers which is why its higher priced. Compare it to most food in the area, everything is overpriced bc it's touristy, at least at Swagyu you get a quality tasting meal. Worth every dime in my opinion. They have locations in San Diego as well, and all I could think of is how much money I'd spend if they had a spot up in the Bay. Smash burgers done right is so hard to find, if they had one in the Bay I'd be a regular here for sure.

Unfortunately, it has a decent amount of birds as well, and I did have to go inside to wash my arm off - thankfully this was before our food arrived and the drinks were safe. (Found out later that my dad also got poo'd on. Blech.) The drinks were tasty though, and the food was pretty good. They're known for having the best fish tacos in the area, and those were enjoyed by a couple in our group. I enjoyed the venting box, though it was a lot of food. Had to share a bit. I do recommend, just be warned about the birds.

My husband made a reservation here to celebrate our daughter's birthday. Big mistake!…read more Dining at Mala was the low point of our most recent Hawaiian vacation. The hostess had us seated at the high table right next to the bathrooms where there were constantly people walking by our table. She claimed there were no other tables available and was not interested in finding an alternative table for us. I have a 10-second video of our little girl blowing out her birthday candle, and we got video-bombed by a lady walking by within that short duration. The food was... okay. The kids got their own dishes, while my husband and I shared the calamari and the whole fish. The calamari was on the softer side if we're being euphemistic, and the whole fish was kind of dry. Our server was lovely, which saved this from being a one-star review. As a place to grab a quick bite, Mala is probably fine though there are better options on this island. As a place where you make a reservation weeks in advance to celebrate a milestone, please do yourself a favor and go elsewhere unless you enjoy the sound of flushing toilets and doors opening/ closing during your meal. Never again.

While we were walking the Kaanapali Beach walkway we noticed a great dining area offering an…read moreawesome vibe and said we will have to come back here. So today we walked over to check out the Ulu Kitchen located in the Westin Maui. Short walk from the Marriott Maui Ocean Club down the pathway. Sat on the deck overlooking the beach and took in the ocean breezes. Staff were very attentive and quick to get us settled in to our table. Our server Brandon happily took our drink order bringing back some amazingly cocktails. The Mai Tai had a decadent foam on top unlike your normal Mai Tai that truly made the cocktail unique. Brandon took our order and we took in the beautiful Kaanapali coast and people watched, our food came and we started with a Tako (octopus) prepared in an escargot style served with house made focaccia bread. Great way to start and the sauce full of garlic and butter. The salad was great with the option of chicken or local fish and I took the fish. The smash burger was da bomb! Great quality beef on A soft brioche bun, the French fries had a unique flavor twist prepared with a little rosemary, very good. Loved the feel of the room (if you call it that-solid roof flowing onto lattice and then palapa style umbrellas and completely open on 3 sides. Great music in the background with the ocean views ocean breezes superb cocktails and delizioso food. This was our "Linner" late lunch and early dinner. Bravissimo Ulu Kitchen not only will we be coming back and staying at the Westin we will be coming back to your cucina to dine again. Mahalo Nui Loa. Ciao

I'll be honest, I wasn't sure what to expect. The reviews vary so greatly but glad we stopped by…read more Special sounded so good that we all got it and it did not disappoint. Everything was fresh, flavorful and delicious from the salad and veggies to the fish to the ravioli. I can't believe I'm saying this but I think the ravioli was the best part of a very scrumptious plate. Reservation was at 6:15pm on Tuesday. We arrived a little early and were seated. Our table was the perfect spot, closest to the ocean. Great for catching the sunset and people watching. Parked in their lot which was quick and easy. I will definitely be back. Would love to see this special get a permanent spot on the menu. It was so good!

Didn't get the opportunity to sit inside, but would love to, esp since they have other food items (think savory) available. From what I saw, it looks bustling but cozy. Picked up a thermal bag that I can use as a lunch bag here at home. If I ever make it back to Maui, I definitely wanna make a stop here again.

We had the chocolate Mac pie and it was extremely decadent with notes of nuts, chocolate, caramel and nice crispy bottom. The ahi tuna sandwich was 4/5 didn't expect the mashed (for lack of a better word) texture. Other than that it had a delicious flavor and good sized portion. The chicken pot pie was also 4/5 I thought it could use a bit more flavor but was extremely satisfied with size, texture, and chicken /veggie filling. The chicken was not chewy or dry. The puff pastry was flaky and flavorful. Overall, I'd return again. Even if just to get pie! (Note the pot pie takes longer to prepare)

Prices and portions - 5 stars: considering the outrages prices I've seen at the supermarkets, this place has very decent prices for their food. Their portions are enough to fill you you for sure. 2. Flavor - 5 stars: tried the steak, shredded beef and shredded chicken bowls. The seasoning was perfect, not salty just perfect. The beans and rice so delicious. The chimichurri was one of the best I've had. The fried yucca was fried to perfection 3. Facility and location - 5 stars: very clean, very presentable. Even though its a whole in the wall, the place is very nice. Staff is very friendly Only one complaint. They use foil when they serve the food in the bowls. Not a big fan. Foil isn't healthy. I get they are trying to avoid the juice of the meat to filter through the container, but there has to be a better way. Hope management or owner reads this.
