Wow! What a great surprise. Our group ordered 4 different dishes. All were delicious, hot. perfectly spiced and authentic Thai cooking. Will definitely be back as our travels bring us back to Hana. read more

5-stars From us! Our Hostess at at Hāna Garden Room recommendation did not disappoint. Amazing taste/quality. We had Penang Curry with Shrimp & Pad Thai with Chicken plus home made chocolate ice cream. And the price! Just $38. Wow! read more

Along the Road To Hana this is an amazing side of the road staple. It would be the only food for miles and would be edible no matter what but luckily it's also some of the most delicious food I've had in my life. The experience of traveling a road with no service and just knowing that this place will exist by previous travelers blogs and maps. It's like finding a hidden treasure. It feels like a quintessential Hawaiian experience to sit there and eat on a grassy knoll outside of a quaintly crafted food truck! This food tasted like love! read more

With the majority of Hana visitors day trippers, most eateries and food trucks are closed by 5. Lucky for us, Garden Gourmet was still open after we drove from the airport and checked into our inn. Offering a nice variety of food from flatbread pizzas, tacos, to Thai food, there is bound to be something for everyone. Since it is hot and humid in the middle of this beautiful rainforest, I wanted something light and refreshing so the summer rolls and green papaya salad hit the spot. In fact those summer rolls were so good, I ended up coming back the next day for another order for a mid-day snack. With a fruit stand just down the road from here, buying a butter avocado to go with the summer rolls was perfection. The drunken noodles and sugar cane juice was just okay for me as the cane juice tasted too muddled in comparison to the ones at Twin Falls and Farmacy so I assume this one was pre-pressed vs. pressed to order. But overall, still a great spot in Hana to enjoy the food right on site or back at your accommodations especially if you have an oceanview. read more

One of the only places open till 6 nearby Hana! We tried to go back on a Wednesday for lunch but they were closed so not sure about Wednesday hours. The papaya salad is a must try- so amazing and fresh. We tried the veggie drunken noodles and the margarita flatbread pizza too. The veggies were fresh and the service was great. We also got coffee ice cream and chocolate chip cookies. All of it was so good- a must stop if they're open. By far the best prices and quality in Hana. read more

We ate two nights in a row here. The first night we had Thai. The Pad Thai was particularly good. The next night we chose to go again for pizza. The vegetable ingredients were all delightfully tender. Fresh from their garden. Highly recommend the food here! read more

Delicious! Not many places along Hana Highway were open today (Monday in early March) so we were happy to find Garden Gourmet Cafe open and serving made-to-order food this afternoon. We had the papaya salad, drunken noodles and chicken fried rice. All were tasty and made fresh. We also got a soursop, guava and avocado from the fruit stand here - perfectly ripe and reasonably priced! read more

This was our go to place for dinner in Hana. We had the Thai food both nights. We were happy with the selection of veggies in both vegetarian and meat dishes. This is unusual! Also the spices used (lots of ginger in our dish!) were great. There aren't that many choices for dinner in Hana btw. However, we repeated dinner at this place just because it was that good and not just because it was there :) read more

Good bang for the buck! We ate at Garden Gourmet 3 times in 3 days. It's mostly take-out. The prices were lower and the quality higher than most of the other places in Hana. The menu includes primarily pizza, Thai food, and freshly made juices and desserts. The veggie stir fry was fresh and delicious. Spring rolls were a treat. There was also a fruit stand out front with a good selection. The lilikoi ice cream was the best we had in Maui. It was so good, we were naughty and ate our ice cream first! read more

Some of the best smoothie's I've ever had for $5 each. Also had Thai food and one of those honor system fruit stands. Gotta stop at this place on the road to Hana! read more

We found this place while coming back from Hana. Hands down one of the best Thai good I have ever had. So flavorful, delicious, local made. I tried their sugar cane juice as well and it was out of the world. read more

This is a small family run business that uses a lot of fresh ingredients that they grow themselves. They seem to have Thai food and pizza. We had Thai, and it was delicious. A lot of locals stopped by while we were there. Oh and don't miss the ice cream that they make there. read more

I came across this food-truck on my way to Hana. It is inside the Garden of Eden Arboretum's main entrance but you do not have to pay the entrance fee to eat at the food truck. I was starved when I arrived here and was not hoping to find vegetarian options. However, I was pleasantly surprised to see vegetarian tacos on the menu. I ordered a vegetarian taco, Hawaiian chips and jack fruit. They were all very delicious. Jack fruit was very sweet and refreshing. The overall ambience outside the food truck was also very nice. They had a seating area with umbrellas to protect from rain. Also, there was a peacock roaming around the garden area who was not afraid to come near me in search of food. :) read more

This was the best stop we could've made on the road to Hana. We ordered the pork and chicken tacos, taro chips, and tamales. Everything tasted amazing! Super flavorful and a bunch of different tasty hot sauces to choose from. There were peacocks hanging out with us as we ate which was pretty dope, but the dopest part was when Tim (the owner) came to chat with us and as we noticed his banana plant was ripe, he chopped it down for us and gave us a bunch of fresh bananas which also were super tasty. Check this place out, Tim and his tacos are amazing. read more

This is by far the best Thai food I have had in Maui and in Hawaii. We got the mahi mahi stir fry and pad Thai. Both were so delicious and really big portions.. read more

I have come here to eat at this lunch wagon about three times while on the drive to Hana. I always get one of the pizzas b/c they are delicious and he makes all of it even the dough. My mom always gets the coconut macaroons which she adores along with a brownie or two for my pops. I sometimes would order a tea or rootbeer float as well. all delicious. just keep in mind that this is NOT a fast food restaurant. all food is made to order. but if you like organic delicious food then you will love it. they have a garden in back where they grow most of the fruits and veggies used in the food! so its obviously fresh! fresh fish is also available at times and he can tell you who caught the fish and where it came from and when it was caught, SUPER super fresh!! best fish taco EVER! it is grilled. read more

We had drive. The road to Hana and were hungry at 300 pm. We stopped in a few places that werent serving. We stopped at the garden gormet cafe and they were just opening. We had pizza, juice coffee and ice cream. Everything was fresh natural and very good. It doesn't look like much from the outside but the hospitality and food are worth stopping and trying read more

Fantastic find! We didn't go in to garden- we came for the food! Chicken taco was to die for! $9. Some tables to sit (not well shaded) and peacocks walking around. Truly enjoyed this place and were I to come back to Hana (I've done it 4 times now so doubtful), this would be a stop I would insist on! read more

Saw the reviews for this place, and thought we would try it out, honestly we drove by it the first time, and ended up going back. In speaking with the cook / owner / proprietor she mentioned that they use all fresh ingredients, and many of them are grown onsite in her garden at the site, it is easy to see many types of vegetables and herbs growing around the tables. Fish and chicken are sourced locally, and the flatbread pizza dough is made fresh from organic flour. We had a few things, and all of them were fantastic! She cooks everything to order, so there was a small wait, but not too long. Definitely worth the small wait. Ginger Stir Fry with Ono - Fantastic- fresh fish, vegetables, greens and herbs all cooked lightly to perfection, and combined with whatever magical spices (ginger is one for sure) that is placed in the dish. It was perfect! The fish was tender, yet still firm, and everything melted in my mouth! Chicken Summer Rolls. Fantastic! Two large rolls cut in half. These were great, and the highlight was the fresh mint (which we could see grown from our table!) Flatbread cheese pizza - so good we ordered another one, after the first was gone! The dough is freshly made with organic flour and lightly barbecued (grilled) to give it some crispness. Not oily at all, lightly cooked and perfect. Everything else just melted together, the dough was the star of this show. Chicken Tacos - FYI, these are not on the menu, only fish or vegetarian, but my daughter requested chicken and they obliged :). Plenty of chicken and fresh veggies here. The tortillas were out of this world. In fact my kids threatened me with bodily harm if I didn't give this place five stars, that's how much they liked them ;) Overall, if you like fresh food, you will love this place. Definitely worth the drive to Hana. read more

One of the best meals I had at Maui. The ingredients were fresh and delicious. The flavor were unique and balanced. If you love spicy food - make it Thai spicy! I'd recommend eating there, especially for dinner (it closes at 7:30). Having dinner in the pitch dark jungle under a full sky of stars was a lovely experience. read more

This place was amazing! Great food that we planned to takeout but the garden area was so nice we just ate it there. We had a party of 6 - we got several Thai dishes - Pad Thai and Curries. All were very tasty. Also had fresh lemonade and fruit juices as well as cookies that were wonderful too. Service was fast and friendly. Highly recommend!!! read more

This place is a hidden gem on Maui. The road to Hana is long and windy but you won't find better Thai anywhere else. They make some of the best stir fry there is. The place is basically a food truck on the side of the road. Drive too fast and you'll miss it. read more

One of the best meals I had on Maui. The food is very fresh and really has a "home cooking" taste to it. It's a little pricey at $10+ a taco, but it was worth it. I tried the chicken and also the pork tacos. Very tasty! It's a food truck with tables outside - don't feed the peacocks or they won't leave you alone! They also have free wifi, which is pretty nice because you are going to feel like you are at the edge of the world up in the mountains on your way to Hana. You can update your facebook or download some podcasts for the rest of your trip. My only criticism, is that the owners were playing some loud rock music which I am not a fan. read more

Amazing thai food. Perfect end to the hana hwy drive. Authentic flavors with kick of thai spices. Beautiful garden ambience. Quite place to enjoy an evening meal. read more

Stopped at this little food truck totally on a whim as we were driving back on the road to Hana on a Sunday after everything seemed to have closed. We didn't have service and were getting quite hangry and saw the sign on the highway so just decided to take a chance without Yelp's advice. So worth it! Some real friendly locals run this truck. I had the green mango salad and my wife had the shrimp pad thai. We thought we didn't like Thai food until we ate at this place. So full of flavor and fresh! Apparently they use all local ingredients too. Amazing! No complaints at all! I wish I could go back right now... read more

This was one of the best meals I had on Maui during my honeymoon! No joke! My husband and I (of course) spent a day and drove up the road to Hana, and explored what Hana had to offer. After we went to the lava tubes, we saw a little food truck and decided to stop and get lunch and am so glad that we did! I ordered the spicy basil chicken and it was one of the best Thai meals I've ever had, it was sooo good! I wished I lived there just so I could eat there all the time! The meal was spicy, but not too spicy to where I couldn't enjoy each bite, and while I waited for my food, I saw them picking the ingredients fresh from their garden right outside! My husband got this fish tacos (which were huge!) and said that he could tell that they used fresh fish. We also ordered a Thai Iced Coffee to go with out meal, and that was so good, we ordered another one to go. The couple who ran the truck were so nice, and could tell that they most likely use recipes that they grew up on. Wonderful food!! read more

Happened upon this place after most places were closed which ended up being lucky for us. Summer rolls were the best I have had and fish tacos were awesome. Everything was super fresh and avocados came straight from their garden. read more
