Service was good, ambiance is a typical food truck in a grass lot. - Mixed plate (4.5/5): Chicken katsu, kalua pork. The chicken was perfectly crispy and juicy. The pork was moist and so tasty. - Loco moco (4.5/5): The gravy was perfect. There was so much of it which we love. Great flavor. - Ahi tuna (5/5): This was so fresh, and the tuna was perfect. The sauce was the perfect combo, so savory and a bit sweet.

We had eaten already when we stumbled upon Kitoko, whose name I recognized from while reading. The…read moreowner (?) had his cooking set up outside of the food truck and was preparing the most amazing roast chicken, and curry vegetables. He explained that he made the specials of the day while the regular menu was made inside the food truck. We were too full however tempted, and decided to go watch the sunset. But afterwards we wandered back to share a dish, and settled upon the beef special since we hadn't had any all trip. We had the smoked maminha tri-tip steak, Okinawa purple sweet potato, grilled maui onion and broccolini. Beautifully plated on real plates and silverware. No comparison to the so many common $21 food truck entrees and cost just a little more. The owner also is very sociable and enjoys talking about this food in a variety of languages with passers by and customers. On the far end from main entrance to the Kihei Food Oasis, or right at the other entrance, depending on how you enter. I wish we had found it earlier or we would have eaten there more than once!

lilikoi meringue tart ($10) - perfect tart to me actually…read more - usually sour flavors like these tend to be too sweet as the baker attempts to compensate the sourness, but that highkey backfires because when the dessert is too sweet and sour i end up hating it - this one however was just right; not too sweet and it's got just enough crust to pair with the lilikoi braised beef loco moco - an elevated take on loco moco that made me realize a simple dish can actually be impressive - the immaculate presentation was one thing but the flavor and texture exceeded my expectations for how a loco moco can taste - the crispy rice was nicely charred; not too burnt; usually charred items taste overdone and burnt but this had a nice note to it; wish it was crispier though but it might be because we were waiting for ages for the rest of the dish - braised beef was extremely tender - sauce was great but i wish it was a bit thicker and less liquidy - the pickled veggies were pretty well made too; they were lacking some kick and brightening flavor but the quality is there shrimp kauai - the shrimp was so juicy and the sauce well done; so fresh it was naturally sweet - the head was golden too, filled with natural sweetness -flavor on point; i had nothing else to say about this dish other than it was near perfect - same comment on the pickled veggies here as above rating: 4.5/5 - every dish was well done; not perfect and can improve but i was already well satisfied - the flavor, texture, and portion made the meal so worth... probably the most affordable food we've had on this island given the quality and care they put into each dish - it operates as a food truck within this zen buddha looking garden - very cute at night with fairy lights, plants, and other decor - highly recommend - service was kind and friendly but it took a long while for the food to be ready; makes sense though given how elaborate their dishes looked!

Fifth or sixth time's the charm. The first time I saw them was at the Ilima Shell gas station when…read moreI was picking up Maui Beef Crisp way back when, but I had already eaten. The next time a couple years later I was lining up for lunch in Wailuku I think, only to have them run out of the two items I had my heart set on right when I got to the window. Last two or three years, they had catering jobs during my two weeks on island as I kept checking their IG. Finally, last year it was open for pickup at the Trampoline area, so we hightailed it over from W Maui just so I can finally try Chef Kyle's food before rushing back to meet our friends at the Nuff Sedd concert at Branches at Royal Lahaina. Was it worth it? Yes!! With a rotating menu of different cuisines out of Big Red at a trampoline parking lot on Fridays only. It was Puerto Rican that week so we got pastele stew and mofongo which I had to gild the lily with 1/2 order of camarones al ajillo on top. So good, we inhaled it right at the parking lot and wanted more. This year, fingers crossed he will be cooking end of September as I need to bring insulated bags so I can bring extra orders back to W Maui.

Delicious morsels of ahi and the perfect mix of flavor and creaminess with the added texture of little crispy tempura crumbles. The two other options served -- a crispy pork belly bao bun and a crispy chicken dish -- looked and smelled delicious as well. I will definitely be making the trek from upcountry to try more of his fare!

$6.25 for a breaded teriyaki and fried rice bento?! Of course, I'm a fan! Follow them on Instagram…read moreand first time customers get a free drink with a meal purchase. Talk about scoring! Real simple menu with daily specials and bento of the day. A good place to stop by for lunch especially for those who work around the area. No sit down area so you just gotta grab and hele to the beach or the nearby Keopuolani park to eat but weather is usually always gorge on Maui that you better have planned to anyway. I went during their first hour of opening for the day so the visit was short and sweet. They're not hard to miss as they sit in front of another food establishment or bar and google maps was on point guiding me straight to them. There is a parking lot and street parking but street parking is more hard to come by since it's probably occupied by the workers in the industrial area. Bento was pretty onolish. Breaded teriyaki would have been better if it was freshly made to order but overall it satisfied my craving since I can't find breaded teriyaki anywhere on Oahu for the life of me! Fried rice was nicely seasoned with a balanced texture with each bite. No crispy rice or graininess! Reasonably priced, central location and good plate lunch options. No can go wrong with Cupie's Express! Chee!

Easy menu! Nice owners. Heart of Wailuku…read more As a part Korean I can say this place is solid for the options offered. I have been looking for a quick kimbap place on island and this delivers. I got the bulgogi veggie kimbap and asked to make it fire spicy and the owner understood the assignment. She added her own special pepper sauce and with the veggies and daikon and meat -- chefs kiss. It was real fresh flavors. I live on the Westside but would go here just to get this regularly. Just try it! Super friendly and so deserving to go viral!!

Quite possibly one of the most underrated food trucks. Don't sleep on this one folks!…read more AbiKi's is one of the few Caribbean food options on the island and I think the only option in Kihei. They've got that hot and spicy Caribbean flavor infused into dishes like empanadas, nachos, curry and oxtail stew (available on Fridays and Saturdays only), and more. My husband spontaneously ordered the chimichurri burger one day and while I didn't know what to expect at first, man that burger was mighty delicious! The beef patty is topped with chimichurri sauce and paired with lettuce, tomato, grilled onion, cheddar cheese, chimichurri aoili on a brioche bun. It's burger heaven! Flavorful and moist, it was devoured in no time. It also comes with sweet potato fries and a side of sauce. I don't know if the sauce is for the fries or the burger, but it pairs extremely well with both. Just give your burger a little dip -- SO good. All in all, this burger ranks pretty highly in my list of tasty burgers. We'll definitely be back again to try their other Carribean dishes!

Da Tambayan Corner in Kahului has become one of my go-to spots when I'm not sure what I'm…read morecraving--because they've got a little bit of everything. The food truck lot has grown a lot recently, expanding into the adjacent lot with more space for trucks and more better parking (huge win). They have a cute little setup with a covered area for eating, plenty of tables, and even events happening from time to time. I think you can rent the space out too if you're planning your own event. Some of my favorite trucks here are Da Soriano Grindz for their calamansi pork belly plate (seriously hits every time), Aloha Pho Maui when I'm in the mood for Vietnamese, and Street Market Boba--because no visit is complete without a dessert and a good boba fix. I love that you can come with friends or family, and everyone can find something totally different to enjoy. From Filipino to Vietnamese to Mexican and more, the variety makes it an easy pick. Whether you're just grabbing lunch or hanging out for a bit, Da Tambayan is definitely worth checking out.

I had a little time for a quick snack so grabbed a taco from Linda's taco truck and it was very satisfying. The place was decked out for Halloween.

There's a good variety of food trucks to please every appetite.
