One thing I'd say is that I'm not too fond of the calamari sticks. Many pieces were burnt and the overall taste was ok. The fish tacos were ok and clam chowder tasted watered down.

I sat at the small counter along the right side as its works well for solo diners. I did not wait long for my food. I had the shrimp and chips. It also comes with a side of cole slaw.

Overall a nice meal.

We had a rather large group when we tried Eating Local, so we got to try a lot of food, but the favorites was the pulled port and gravy, grilled cheese(kids and adults loved) and fried rice. We were impressed by the flavor and portion size. So much flavor. For instance, the grilled cheese was obviously buttered well and grilled to perfection, giving a crunch on the bite but soft gooey cheese inside. I'd recommend this restaurant to my friends for sure and you know you're supporting a smaller local business.

I think this place had the best food on the island so far- great quality and fresh food. We got the…read moreloco moco, kalua pork loco moco, hurricane fries, and tempura battered fish (fresh fish of the day- I think it was ono). This place was definitely a highlight in terms of food on the island. It seems pretty local, which is perfect and explains it. The hurricane fries are probably the best fries I've ever had - super crisp but not overly fried/crunchy! The sauces on top are delicious and not too salty or heavy. The loco mocos were delicious and not too salty, the meat was tender and juicy. This may be our favorite loco moco on the island as well! We wanted to try the deep fried ahi belly but they only sell fresh caught fish, so we got the tempura battered fish (ono). It was so tender and light, a really great and fresh fish.

We've visited Maui staying in the Kihei area at least a dozen times or so, but it wasn't until this…read morepast June that we finally stopped here for the first time for an early lunch. And even though we have eaten in almost every restaurant on the island at this point, this was easily one of the most delicious meals we've had!

(For comparison, we ate at Mama's Fish House the night before, so this 5 star broke da mouth review carries a gravity. LOL.)

Paia Fish Market is a casual seafood restaurant with locations across Oahu and Maui. This location…read morein Kihei opened in 2015, but the original location opened in Paia in 1989. Their main selling point is the fresh fish and the different ways they're prepared. You can choose between different fish options from ahi to mahi mahi to snapper. You can also choose the cooking preparation such as charbroiled, sautéed, cajun, or blackened. Then you can choose your sides. They give you a number and you find a table to sit. We got the ahi sautéed with cajun rice ($28), the mahi mahi blackened with french fries ($27), and the clam chowder ($7). I liked the sautéed flavors with the butter and garlic. I loved the flavor of the blackened char flavor, and we loved that the fries were thin. The clam chowder was standard. One of the surprising stars of our meal was their house magic sauce. It was one of the condiments table-side and we found that it was so good with everything. We drenched it in the fish and even dipped it in the fries. I thought the flavor of the blackened mahi mahi was better, but the magic sauce went better with the sautéed ahi.

The Maui Shrimp truck is the back half of the panel truck with Maui Burgers being the front half. The touchscreen order board is convenient, but a little insensitive to touch, having to tap multiple times in certain places. I got a double portion of the Lemon Pepper Garlic Shrimp with an extra scoop of rice to soak up the sauce and an order of onion rings from the Maui Burger side of the business. My BIL wanted the Cajun Shrimp, but only a single order. We took it to go to eat back at the condo because I was not going to share with the feral chickens patrolling the dining tables. I have to say that the Cajun Shrimp had way better flavor than the Lemon Pepper, which was pretty mild. The double portion of shrimp was pretty massive with very plump shrimp. The panko coated onion rings were incredibly crunchy, even when brought back to our condo and came with 2 dipping sauces. We can't wait to go back to Maui just to have some food truck shrimp again!

Since it is a food truck, there is not too much to say about it other than it has a touchscreen to order and is split into two concepts. Half the truck is blue for Maui Shrimp and the other half is red for Maui Burgers. For dinner on this evening I went with the sweet chili mango shrimp and added a scoop of rice while my father went with the Makawao burger. The menu described mine as fresh local mango, bell peppers, and sautéed onions caramelized in a sweet chili sauce with an option for hot or mild. My father's was described as Swiss, bacon, onions, mushrooms, and garlic aioli. Our food came out relatively quickly and when I opened the container I loved how colorful the dish looked. Since I was hungry, I dove right in. It ended up being absolutely delicious, mostly because of the sauce. It was super garlicky with a ton of flavor and the mango added the perfect amount of sweetness. There were nine shrimp and they were cooked well with a nice natural sweetness. I also appreciated the bell peppers and onions as I feel like I do not always get enough vegetables while in Hawaii. My dad also really enjoyed his burger and even said unprompted that it was one of the better burgers he has had lately. The bottom line for me is that I would head back here again in the future. Both my dad and I enjoyed our food and if they bottled that sauce, I would absolutely buy it.

It's rare to find a food truck that can cook a good steak, let alone a restaurant, but 'Ono Teppanyaki & Seafood is my favorite for steak, hands down. I get the New York strip, with all veggies and no rice. It comes with sauces too, and because of them I now love eating my steak with hot mustard and shoyu. The steak comes out with a beautiful crust, cooked just right, and the grilled veggies are the perfect side. For the price, it is absolutely worth it. One heads-up so you find the right spot: this is the food truck lot across from the Costco gas station, not the one at the Courtyard Marriott. Make the trip. If you love a good steak like I do, you won't be disappointed!

However, when you have to wipe the dust off of your dipping bow and plate, that kinda concerns me. The outdoor tables are located under a tree. Who knows where the "dust" came from. Strike 1. The ahi that was served with the salad was warm. Never had sashimi served warm (and with salt n pepper on it). Kinda scared me, but we still ate it. I truly regret this. Strike 2. The steak was delicious though. Tender and cooked perfectly. The sauce was also delicious. I believe it was a tomato-based sauce and as well as chimichurri. My husband and I shared our plates with each other. We both ended up with painful, upset stomachs that night. Strike 3.

We stumbled upon Vana because we tried to do a walk-in for Mama's Fish House, but were unable to…read more My friend had a craving for oysters, and within the area, Vana popped up on Yelp. Unfortunately, there were no oysters. It was actually a bit tough to find a place with oysters in Maui (shoutout to Fleetwood's). It was perfect because we ended up just wanting a light dinner, and this restaurant has tapas and small portions. Not a bang for your buck, by any means, though. I was a bit bummed because I wanted a specific appetizer (similar to a wagyu beef tataki), but they did not have it. Instead, I got the hamachi carpaccio, which was still good. I also ordered a spicy rainbow roll. You could tell that the fish was very fresh on top, but the roll itself was just decent. Not worth the $25 and it was also not spicy. I think my favorite food item was the karaage. It was crispy, tender and the sauce was the cherry on top. I am looking at the menu and I realize that a lot of these cocktails are new, which is another bummer because I would have loved to try all of them (guava mojito, spicy lilikoi mezcalita and vana colada -- yes please!) The restaurant itself is so cute! There is definitely a rustic vibe to it. It could look like a treehouse because there's a big tree in the middle and string lights. It is an outdoor restaurant, and there is an extended outdoor section as well that has a little more secluded feel. There's a bar area, but it is a bit small.
