    Shoyu Chicken Plate
    Jen S.

    Great service. Quick and tasty. Just hit the spot after landing. Definitely will come again and again.

    Side salad
    Samantha T.

    I think other menu items were probably good, but I went for poke nachos and i didn't think the fish was great. Seemed like it was just previously frozen that you could get anywhere on the mainland. That being said, my side salad was really fresh and yummy

    Fried fish tacos
    Hannah S.

    Such a cute place in the whalers village. I love how it's kind of like a permanent food truck. I got the fried fish tacos and this was the best decision I ever made in my whole life. Some how they were better than the $25 fish tacos I got at some other place. The fish was so crispy. The sauce was delicious. I loved the wrap as well - it's not a traditional flour tortilla, but it really suits the taco. Super fast service as well. Please try this place.!!

    Seared Ahi tuna with the wasabi mayo is solid. The Jasmine rice is an interesting choice, but no need with the bed of cabbage.

    My family and I stopped at this food truck on two occassions, once for lunch and another day for dinner. I had the pork sliders which come with a side of curly seasoned fries. The entire meal was delicious!! Other members of my family had a salad with chicken on top and fish tacos. There were no complaints. When we went for dinner I ordered the shoyu chicken wrap. Unfortunately, I wasn't the biggest fan of the wrap. There was mostly mixed greens in it and a very few small pieces of chicken. The wrap almost seemed soggy because it was mostly greens in it. It came with rice and macaroni salad. Nothing super flavorful but not bad. I ordered a side of onion rings which were yummy. The service is quick and friendly and I highly recommend giving them a try. They are conveniently located in front of the ABC Store in Whalers Village.

    My poor little thin dry strips of mahi mahi... very dry. Catch of the Day lunch plate

    We got the lunch plates that come with a side of white rice and Mac salad. Catch of the day which was mahi mahi and pulled pork. My husband said he would give it 2/5 stars but I give it 3/5 stars because they didn't mess up the rice! Some places you can mess it up. The food is also filling... which is a plus for me. He wished his pulled pork was more salty... which I agreed. My mahi mahi was dried up and it was 4 small pieces. The Mac salad was just ok... Overall, the prices are good and the portion is generous enough. Give it a try if you are tired of the other locations that charge $88 for a pre fixed breakfast *hint hint: Waicoco*

    Pulled Pork Tacos
    Jessi Lynne B.

    Cute food truck which is a total bonus at Whaler's Village. Glad I finally got to try. Regular food was on point! Keiki menu to me isn't worth it though. They're better off trying out food from the regular menu because the food is way tastier! Plus if they don't finish and you have to assist, you'll be happier with the choices. Seared ahi tacos, pulled pork tacos, and fish tacos were ALL yummy! Even though it's only 3 tacos with no sides on a plate for $15.95, they were oddly filling but super tasty! - I did however order sliders, but when I opened my plate after we left, it was NOT sliders. But all good, my tacos were delicious. We did go during a late lunch (2/230pm), second "group" to order and it was about a 20 minute wait. Not too bad of a wait, I think it was worth it. But it's hot and people are getting hangry! Nowhere to really enjoy your food, some mall seating, otherwise you can enjoy on the beach or in your car.

    The menu.
    Julia C.

    We ordered the Shoyu Chicken and the Catch of the Day. Both came with a large portion of meat on a bed of lightly seasoned cabbage slaw, alongside a scoop of plain white rice and a scoop of (super yummy!) macaroni salad. No hours posted yet, but there were signs up for "Help Wanted" and "Find Out Your Pirate Name". Lol! Ordering was quick, and a slight wait for food. Glad to have stumbled upon this place tonight since all the other restaurants in the area were no longer taking walk-in's. Not sure if they offer Validation for the parking lot. If not, it'll cost you $6 to park (at least it did for us on a Sunday night).

    Chicken sliders. Coleslaw. Curly fries. Pepsi.  Aloha vibes
    John L.

    This place is nestled inside the Whaler's Village and has such a nice atmosphere! We got here kinda late about 20 minutes before closed and could only order from the fryer but we were not disappointed! The chicken sliders tasted amazing and their special sauce was such a good touch with the curly fries! So glad we were able to squeeze in a meal at Da Nani Pirates on our last night in Ka'anapali!

    Looking for some good Hawaiian food
    Wendell R.

    We found this cool Hawaiian food truck in an outdoor mall in Ka'anapali so we decided to give it a try. Food came out pretty fast so the wait time was minimum. The pulled pork I ordered was delusions, not dry and seasoned well. I also had some Hawaiian macaroni was yummy they just didn't give me enough like two Tablespoon scoops. I guess if you considered it a lunch plate it was ok. I was starving so for me it was a dinner plate. Anyway...it was our first taste of Hawaiian food. Not a bad start to the vacation.

    Ahi sandwich
    Caroline C.

    My husband is still talking about the Ahi tacos!! Super cute inside second level of whalers! Outside of the ABC. Don't just settle on the beach front spots! Grab Togo go sit on the beach or eat at the tables there grab a libation from ABC and air on your balcony and take it all in! Super chill vibe definitely don't miss the food trucks in Maui!

Beans were well cooked and flavored. So was the rice. The bananas/ plantains added good sweet flavor to the whole meal. The coconut cheese was interesting. Never had that before but it did taste like cheese and added flavor. The jackfruit arepa sandwich that we had, could have had the jackfruit, cheese, plantains mixed together better. The jackfruit bowl was better as it was easier to mix everything and get all the flavors together. Pretty much same as the sandwich but a little more and easier to mix (so would recommend the bowl over the sandwich). The sandwich seemed to be made of rice. We also had a mango and a coconut slushie drink. The mango tasted like the mango concentrate from Costco (sugary) and the coconut was a little more original/ different. We liked both though. Limited indoor seating. Outdoor seating available. Steady flow of patrons. The only thing I didn't like was that the price was a bit high though in my opinion but I guess everything in Maui is that high priced. Update: went back and got a coconut slushie drink again :) and tried the plant based mushroom and cheese (coconut cheese) and fish empanada. They were delicious with the mushroom being our favorite. The chipotle sauces and cilantro onion sauces were delicious as well! The empanadas are not made to order (they are premade so you cannot seperate out the cheese from the mushroom but it does not have a strong flavor). I also liked the coconut slushie by itself vs mixed with mango. Note: The empanadas come in 2: when you eat in house, a red Chipotle sauce and white cilantro onion sauce are given with it (as well as with the arepas); there is another sauce for vegans (think it's a cilantro/ oil/ spice sauce). We liked the white sauce better than the vegan sauce. The empanadas are not made to order (they are premade). If you order to go, you are only given once sauce. If you want more than one, you need to just add it on before you leave with the big dispensers. Otherwise, you only get one sauce (not sure why you can't just add white and red sauce in the same to go container but we weren't given the option). And, to make things worse, the lady said curtly she would charge me next time for 2 sauces "due to the plastic". well, thank you for not charging me but the statement was unnecessary IMHO. Note for improvement (and for this, I was tempted to drop the star rating): we came here multiple times and gave your business a lot of our dollars (about 135.00), yet the above statement, I don't think was necessary if you are trying to provide good customer service. You should gladly offer extra of the sauce or even, as I suggested above, allow customers to add the sauce themselves if they want more than 1 sauce and you don't want us to "use up your plastic containers". Kind of left a bad taste in our mouths.

We left disappointed by the unfriendly service, very small portions, and a bill that felt wildly out of proportion to what we received. Our experience The setting is attractive and the renovation is a real improvement. However, the service lacked the warm, welcoming aloha spirit we hoped for, especially at a restaurant that markets itself as a Maui favorite. The pricing was the biggest issue: - $17.50 for an appetizer of only five wings. - $35.50 for a kalbi plate that amounted to roughly 2 1/2 ribs, chopped into seven or eight small pieces. - $19 for a small serving of mochiko chicken bites. - The kids' sliders were just two tiny burgers on Hawaiian sweet rolls. For two entrées, one appetizer, and two non-alcoholic drinks, our total came to more than $110. That is difficult to justify when both the portion sizes and overall service fell short. Bottom line We understand that Maui is expensive and that restaurants face high operating costs. Still, charging premium prices should come with generous portions, consistently good food, and genuinely hospitable service. Aloha Mixed Plate may have a beautiful new space, but at these prices, it feels overhyped and not like a good value. We hope they reconsider the portion sizes and customer experience, because the lack of aloha and the high prices could easily turn visitors away rather than make them want to return.
