On my first trip to Maui, I was excited to try as many local food spots as possible, and Da Soriano Grindz ended up being one of the highlights of the entire trip. I was immediately intrigued by the calamansi pork -- an item I had never seen it on a menu before. One bite and I was hooked. The pork was tender and flavorful, and the bright, citrusy calamansi added a unique tang that made the dish completely unforgettable. It was so good that I'm still thinking about it after coming home. We also tried the pancit noodles, pork sisig, and mochiko chicken, and every dish was excellent. The pancit was packed with flavor, the sisig was gelatinous (fir those who are into it), and the mochiko chicken was crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and impossible to stop eating. For my first visit to Maui and my first time trying Da Soriano Grindz, this food truck set the bar incredibly high. If you're visiting Maui and want amazing Filipino food that's a little different from what you'll find elsewhere, don't skip this spot. The calamansi pork alone is worth the trip. read more

I've been searching for the best Halo Halo on Maui and I think I've found it here. Nice ube ice cream on top and then the shaved ice was well proportioned with the milk, leche flan, coconut, cantaloupe and other goodies. One of the owners, Sharon, took our order and she made us feel welcomed. The location had ample parking, located in an easily accessible food truck pod which was clean and inviting. Ambiance was low key and fun. read more

After getting off the plane from Oahu, it was time for lunch and Da Soriano Grindz popped up as the top recommendation on Yelp search. It was a short 5 min hop over from the airport to Da Tambayan Corner and parking in the adjacent lot was easy. All the food trucks are ringed around the central tables and look for the aquamarine Da Soriano truck over by the road. Their food style is Filipino with a Hawaiian twist if you hadn't discerned it from their name. They have a build-your-own-combo grindz menu that you can pick a couple of proteins with rice options or check out the picture menu if you really don't know what to get. My wife went for the combo of Pork Adobo & Garlic Butter Shrimp with Mac & Green Salad, both very flavorful choices. Her friend went double pork action with Chinese Roast Pork Belly & Calamansi Grilled Pork Belly and Pancit Bihon Noodles as her side. The Chinese roast pork belly was as crispy good as any I've seen in any Chinatown. My Seafood Trio had a Miso Glazed Salmon Fillet, 3 Baked Mussels, 2 Shrimp Tempura and topped with Kaboyaki sauce & Thai Chili Aioli. The Shrimp were not the typical panko coated but battered and tasted good drizzled with the 2 sauces. The mussels are topped with a heavy cheesy mayo sauce and baked. Of course, it wouldn't be a Hawaiian plate lunch without a scoop of white rice and a scoop of mac salad. All this wasn't enough and our friend went back to chat with the chef and came back with a double serving of banana lumpia in crunchy spring roll wrap and drenched in heavy syrup. This was an excellent dessert and wrap up to a great lunch. We were so stuffed, we had to skip dinner! read more

For sure one of our favorite spots visiting Maui. We had just finished road to Hana and was looking to some garlic shrimp. Da Soriano did not disaapojt. Good quality food you want from a food truck. We got garlic shrimp with the hoohui chicken. We also got halo halo for dessert. Good priced quality meals that hit the spot. read more

Da Soriano Grindz is the kind of food truck that instantly feels like a local favorite - unpretentious, welcoming, and full of personality. Parked just off the road near the airport, it may look humble from the outside, but it's in a lively and bustling area surrounded by other pan-Asian food trucks, replete with hungry travelers, locals grabbing lunch, and Maui workers on their break. There's nothing fancy about the ordering process - you order right at the window, watch the cooks working with fresh ingredients, and then either grab a nearby bench or take your food to enjoy elsewhere. The vibe is Filipino comfort food with a Hawaiian twist: friendly, no-frills, and all about satisfying, flavorful meals that hit the spot after a flight or early morning adventure. Their menu spans across multiple poster boards and features large combo plates that you can easily customize, smaller starters/appetizers, and daily specials like Miki or Oxtail Soup. At around 6:30pm on a Friday night, there was a short line to order, and then I waited about 10 minutes for my food. We ordered their Shrimp and Char Siu Chow Fun ($17) and a Build Your Own Grindz Plate ($18+), which comes with two starches and two entrees. The chow fun was solid if not stellar: it was a generous portion of stir-fried noodles that were surprisingly not too oily (as opposed to Chinese-style chow fun, which is definitely a bit greasier) with tender shrimp and char siu. My Build Your Own Grindz plate consisted of a refreshing green salad with fresh vegetables and a tangy Asian-style dressing, and I opted for Chinese Roast Pork Belly and Chicharon (crispy pork belly) with Tomato & Onion as my two entrees. The Chinese Roast Pork Belly was succulent and fatty, with a lovely crispy top of crackly skin. The Chicharon maintained its crispiness despite sitting in an acidic tomato and onion sauce, and was sliced a bit thinner than the roast pork belly. Both entrees were absolutely delicious, and the Asian salad paired well with the fatty meats. The two of us were completely stuffed after our meals! In terms of price point, Da Soriano Grindz sits in a surprisingly affordable range: think $15-20 for a large entree - exactly where you'd expect for a beloved Maui food truck. You get generous portions and lots of local flair without the premium resort pricing, making it a great stop for breakfast, lunch, or a casual meal on the go. The focus here is simple: hearty, tasty food with aloha energy every time. read more

Da Soriano Grindz - Build Your Own Grindz Plate ($18) with Salad, Chinese Roast Pork Belly, and Chicharon with Tomato and Onion - Filipino Near Me - Kahului, Hawaii

Noodles are important in many cuisines around the world, for good reason: they're comforting, satisfying, easy to prepare (whether simple or fancy), and delicious. A favorite local noodle dish, chow fun, is one of my "barometer" items to order the first time I go to a place, because how well they make it can be a good indicator of their food quality overall. So when I was near Da Soriano Grindz at lunchtime the other day, I had to try their shrimp chow fun. It did not disappoint: noodles cooked perfectly, tender and flavorful shrimp and veggies, and a mouth watering sauce to complete the dish. It was one of those dishes you almost can't stop eating, but you kinda hate to finish it because then you won't have any more....till next time, that is! Their menu features a wide range of Filipino specialties as well as local faves. Service is prompt and friendly. There's a shaded seating area with plenty of space if you want to eat there, or you can take your treats to go. This small food truck pod can be easy to miss but you should definitely check it out. read more

BEST MEAL we've had on the island! Our group randomly stopped by and ordered the crunchy moco and that was truly the best decision we made the entire trip. The crunchy moco is made with a really delicious garlic rice and extra crispy pork belly. Definitely a creative twist on loco moco that makes it so much better! We also tried their spicy garlic shrimp, which is fried in a light batter and a delightful dish. read more

Originally based in Lahaina, Da Soriano Grindz relocated to Wailuku after the fires, then moved to Kahului at the Da Tambayan Corner food truck lot, which they proudly own and operate. They are one of my go-to spots at the food truck lot which has a variety of other options. Specializing in Filipino and local-style comfort food, their menu has plenty to choose from--and so far, everything I've tried has been pretty solid. If you have decision fatigue and can't decide, you can build your own grindz and pick two starches and two entrees of your choice. My personal favorite plate lunch? The marinated calamansi pork belly plate which comes with diced onions and tomatoes (a must!). It's perfectly seasoned, tender, and packed with that zesty-salty-sweet flavor combo that keeps me coming back for more. I've also tried their garlic shrimp plate, which my son enjoyed (always a good sign), and the salmon dynamite, which truly hit the spot. It's a great option when you're in the mood for fish. Generous portions, flavorful sauces, and mac salad round out each plate. The food is consistently tasty, and the staff is friendly, which makes for a good experience during my visits. Whether you're already a fan of Filipino flavors or just looking to try something new, I'd definitely recommend giving Da Soriano Grindz a try. read more

We wanted to see if there was any Filipino food in Maui and this popped up in our search. We got the Adobo fried rice, pancit, and kare kare. Nothing out of the ordinary. No complaints! Food was good. Fairly priced. This is a food truck btw, and is parked with other food trucks that make this food hall area. very spacious for groups and families. read more

My husband and I came here for the Halo Halo dessert and it was incredible. The dessert had so many different flavors and textures inside, including tapioca, taro, ube paste, shaved ice, evaporated milk, ube ice cream, and leche flan. The most fun part was trying to determine what flavors/items were in each layer of the dessert cup. The halo halo wasn't overly sweetened and was just the perfect blend of creamy and refreshing. read more

Glad to have a chance to visit their new spot in Kahului! Miss them on the westside but glad they're open again. This might be my favorite food truck park to date. It definitely has a vibe. Pic doesn't do it justice, it was way too sunny. But there are hanging flowers, table decorations and a selfie wall. Great spot! Parking can be tough if it's busy but definitely worth a stop in. Lots of shade in the seating area. read more

As someone who is married to a Filipino, proud of the Filipino food I can make, and have had authentic Filipino food from family and the Philippines.... I can say... I never knew adobo could be that good. That was outstanding. The pancit was also great and our toddler ate it up. I did not care for the pork belly calamansi, but I look forward to going back and enjoying more items from their menu. We got this on our way to the airport on our way out. We are going back in a year and I think we will go here first (after our Costco trip of course!) read more

I finally got my partner to try Da Soriano Grindz... and he ended up going every single day until I told him to stop! That's how good it is! The food is packed with flavor, super satisfying, and honestly hard to resist once you get a taste. We'll definitely be seeing them regularly, maybe monthly, or let's be real... probably weekly! Highly recommend if you haven't tried them yet. read more

One evening at around 5:30, went there all stoked to try their chicken inasal, but was told they were sold out & I should call ahead to place an order. Well, several days later, at around 12:30 (they open at 11), I called to order it and the gal said they didn't have it 'right now'!!!! So when will they have it??? She should have let me know when. I was already upset so I didn't even ask. No good business! Got good reviews. Tried other dishes ... was so so & the ala carte pansit, I thought, was over priced. The crispy calamansi pork belly was tasty but tough & not at all crispy! All in all, had better! read more

Compared to other food in Maui like Da Kitchen or Tin Roof, this place is way better... I'll give it a 5 star given Maui's tame food scene - half pancit and half salad is must get. it gives the plate a well-rounded balance! - Kalbi has good flavor. Tasted fresh. - Garlic shrimp is non-traditional (it's lightly battered and deep fried fyi), but it was still good. - mochiko chicken. Was decent, not freshly fried - calamansi pork. Flavor wise was decent. But just know that this is sautéed pork belly slices, - it is not roasted or crispy pork. It's soft, not crunchy. read more

Craving satisfied! I'd been wanting tortang talong but not wanting to make it myself lol. They have so many delicious options for plate entree choices. They're so nice and accommodating too! With my rice allergy, I'm always looking for places that have side dish options. I was able to get my plate with mac salad and a great green salad that came with so much jazz on top! I opted for the tortang talong and garlic shrimp and they were both so delicious! Perfectly cooked & seasoned nicely. They even offer a Kama'aina special on Tuesdays (please don't inquire about this special unless you are in fact local). They serve up food quickly and this food truck pod has a great covered seating area for you to enjoy your food! Don't forget to grab a halo halo for dessert! read more

Overall I'd give this place 3.75 Stars. Out of the two Filipino fusion places we tried in the area this was definitely better. Is it the best Filipino I've ever tried, no but it'll do the job. Randomly strolled past a collection of food truck and decided on this place. The communal eating area was super cute and very clean. FOOD: We ordered-Oxtail soup, Sisig, Lechon, Chinese pork belly, and pancit. The Filipino food were the stand outs in our opinion. Recommendation- Sisig and Oxtail soup. Ordering line was fast. We did notice a lot of take out orders. Food was prepared relatively quickly. read more

If you're looking for ono Filipino food with a Hawaiian twist, this food truck is the place to be. Without a doubt, this was the best meal I had on Maui; and for an island offering hundreds of delicious options, that's saying something! I love how creative and varied the menu is. They have some set plate lunches, but you can build your own plate and really customize your order. Highly recommend everything we tried: chicharon kare kare (set menu item), ahi katsu (special menu item), and a side of the garlic butter shrimp. Both plate lunches came with rice and a delicious mac salad. We wanted to order the chicharon bulaklak, but they were out of stock the week I visited which was a bit disappointing. Overall the food was a bit pricy, but the delicious taste and quality made it absolutely worth the money. Located in Da Tambay Corner (Filipino for "the hangout corner"), the cutest food truck park with a lot of other delicious looking options I wish we had space in our bellies to try. Despite the Filipino name, the park is not exclusively for Filipino food- the other trucks offer cuisines from other cultures. It's smaller than other local food truck parks but very aesthetically pleasing. Really enjoyed my time here; it feels really nice to see Filipino representation when I'm not used to seeing much where I live on the mainland. - Ambiance: 5/5 - Food: 5/5 - Service: 5/5 read more

About 10min walk from the Maui Mall Village, 20min walk from the cruise port. read more

What a gem of a spot in a local food truck area! My wife was craving katsu and Da Soriano Grindz did not disappoint. The katsu is super crispy and dark meat makes it really juicy. Mac salad is ok, I had to add black pepper to give it some flavor. I'd try another side next time. The pancit is super good and tastes like my wife's family made it. They even include a slice of calmansi to squeeze on it so you know it's legit. The roast pork is the star of the show, and it is slow smoked to perfection. The pork is still juicy and the skin is very crispy. The garlic shrimp was ok, and I like that it was peeled. I'd try another protein next time. This is a spot I look forward to coming back to the next time I am in Maui! read more

You folks got greedy. I had to wait forty+ minutes for my order. My order was after a couple's large order and so I stayed knowing I would have a little wait. Their order was filled and I was thinking I was next. I ordered a 2 plates and found myself waiting 30 more minutes. 3 customers that were not in line before me got their orders. I sat and watched and waited. I checked and was given a lame excuse. When the order was ready late just apologize do not try and cover your greed by addressing me as "Aunty". I was a returning customer hoping for a great way to end my week. This experience sucked. read more

I came here for the Halo Halo and some lunch. The Halo Halo was pretty good. There was Ube ice cream, flan, a hint of macapon, cantaloupe strings, pearl etc. I didn't really like it as much as I was hoping to probably because I was just in the Philippines and had it there numerous times. So to be fair I will have to try it again. For lunch I ordered mochiko chicken and roast pork with pansit (mostly just noodles) and rice. The mochiko chicken was good but the roast pork (lechon) was just okay mostly because the skin was nice and crispy. read more

Da Soriano Grindz - Mochiko chicken, roast pork with pancit and rice - Filipino Near Me - Kahului, Hawaii

I regularly come here. I'm usually ordering the Miki. You can't get Miki anywhere except at filipino parties. The soup is just excellent all around from the noodles to the toppings. It's available every Friday and Sunday. I've had so many different plates from here like the combo plates, chicken katsu curry, korean fried chicken, baked salmon dynamite, crispy Moco, Chinese roast pork belly, and banana lumpia. I enjoyed all of them. One item I didn't like was the Adobo fried rice. The fried rice had a weird taste and it seemed like it was lacking something. Service is good. Wait can be long at times but they're always busy so that's understandable. They're together at the Tambayan Corner with other food trucks. Frankly, this is the best location of food trucks to go to for locals. So many locations with multiple food trucks seem like they're only catered towards tourists but here is where it's at. If you don't mind random chickens running around the area, ambiance is good. Typically breezy and sunny with ample space and seating availability. It's always clean here. Overall, I enjoy coming here and will continue to do so. I highly recommend it. There's always something different and worth trying here. read more

Really good food at reasonable prices for a food truck. If it was possible to give it 4.5 I would. Food truck prices are always elevated (although I don't know why). But here it's reasonable.especially for what you get. Love the variety at this Asian food truck that has everything from Chinese Roast Pork to Kalbi Beef to Yakitori to Filipino Pancit. And all of it done well. Be warned no seating. Truly a take out place. FOOD: Great variety! Rice and Mac salad were really good. Loved the roast pork which was juicy and tasty. Salmon dynamite was tasty and not overcooked as so often happens at other places. Wish there was a bit more sauce but loved the flavor. Kalbi ribs were good (but not outstanding). Definitely worth it. SERVICE: Great again! Very friendly and well packaged. Serving sizes were good but not overwhelming. For 5-stars I'd want more bang for the buck but hard to complain. Presentation was very good. COST: A bit high overall but again for a food truck very reasonable. It's just that all food trucks tend to run high. read more

The food at this truck is amazing. Everything we've tried so far has been delicious. My favorites have been the baked salmon dynamite with Asian green salad and rice and the shrimp tempura bowl. Can't go wrong with the steak poke bowl, Chinese roast pork, or any of the combos. We've tried the garlic shrimp and pork adobo combo and garlic shrimp and chicharron combos with pancit and rice. It's a nice mix of Filipino, Japanese, and local food. Everything is fresh, tasty, and bursting with flavor. For dessert, don't miss out on their halo halo. This one had a nice touch of cantelope slivers and topped with a piece of Leche flan. read more
