Best meal on the island for me! We got two chicken and rib combos. Ribs were perfection. Chicken was so moist! Wish I could BBQ chicken as well. Huge portion of chicken and two meaty ribs. Beautiful setting on a red sand beach. There are huts with picnic tables inside to eat for shade or if it is raining. Look carefully for the signs on the main highway. The green salad and Mac salad were so tasty also. 10/10 on food and friendliness. read more

What an incredible little food stand! I wouldn't even call it a "hidden gem" because I'm pretty sure everybody knows about it, especially if you drive the road to Hana, but it doesn't make it any less amazing. Located at what feels like the end of the world, Huli Huli Chicken was probably one of the best meals we enjoyed while in Maui. This makeshift tent on the beach serves up absolutely delicious chicken plates with a stunning view of the ocean. My husband and I each ordered a Huli Huli chicken deluxe plate which came with tons of tender, moist chicken, white rice, Mac salad and greens. We also decided to try one of their Kahlúa pork sliders, which was more the size of a regular sandwich than a slider. All in all we had way too much food, and we could have easily shared one of the deluxe plates, but it just meant we had plenty of leftovers to take back to our hotel with us. The service was fast and extremely friendly - they definitely make you feel like family and treat you with the aloha spirit. read more

No vegetarian options other than the sides. However, our carnivore friends heard so much about it so we stopped by for them. We did end up ordering the macaroni salad which is pretty darn good. The Huli Huli chicken is really good according to our friends. The restaurant is almost road side stand by the beach with some picnic tables. Plenty of parking so come on by and give it a try. read more

Great hidden gem that is a great local spot that is friendly to tourist. Don't let the simple and unassuming set up scare you away because the food is so worth it. The service is welcome and fast, the menu is simple with only 3 options but you won't be disappointed, the chicken is so juicy and flavorful you will love it. The ribs are so tender and tasty you wish they would have given you more. I am so glad our tour guide too us here. We loved it and oh yah the view is breathtaking!! read more

Well, this was the place that we were told we needed to check out and we were glad that we did. It was part of our tour of the road to Hana. The chicken was delicious and I was surprised with the cold macaroni, but I was told that is traditional. I would definitely want to try a Huli Huli chicken recipe when I get back. I think the view was the most impressive part. Sitting and watching the waves crash against the rocks was a scene from out of a movie. read more

We had to try this chicken spot on the road to Hāna. We got there a little early and they were still setting up, so we explored the red sand beach. Crazy waves there, I would not want to get in the ocean too far from the beach. The place is like a stand but they had several different types of seating. Outdoor, indoor, and a tent with seating. We got in line and ordered from the cashier. They only take cash since service isn't good. We ordered a pork and kale plate and a combo plate. Everything was delicious! The chicken was very tender and flavorful. The pork and kale was a little bland but once I added some soy sauce, it was really tasty. Would recommend to anyone who is traveling the road to Hāna! read more

My first thought....INTERESTING! Huli Huli chicken is located near the end of the road to Hana and is worth the stop. The food is outstanding. If you have never eaten Huli Chicken you are missing out on a wonderfully moist marinated bird that is then smoked and bbq'd. It was delicious!!! The side of Asian salad was mild with just enough sweetness and sourness to make it delicious. The side of macaroni salad was as good as the chicken woman ingredient I won't mention because you've got to try it. We guessed and were correct but it was so mild. I'd like to experiment this at home and try to duplicate its protein ingredient. Ribs were equally outstanding and fall off the bone. Fantastic staff who are friendly. Be forewarned, this is a cash only business so be prepared. A definite recommendation to go-to when in Hana, HI. read more

Huli huli chicken was a great experience! The food was delish and the staff were really friendly! We ordered the combo plate with huli huli chicken and kalua pork/cabbage. It also came with white rice and mac salad. The whole plate was amazing and even though I saw every person in front of me pour a bunch of soy sauce on their chicken it really did t need it at all. It was so flavorful and tender and juicy! We also tried their lemongrass tea and it was really refreshing! read more

When you've got a sign that says Gordon Ramsay was here, you know it's going to be good. We got the combo plate and cornbread. The huli chicken and ribs were both so tender and not dry at all. Really really good. The cornbread was good as well, so it's worth trying. However, the price of a combo plate was literally an arm and a leg. Pretty expensive. read more

I was part of a tour group of eight people, and I was about the third person to order a rib plate to go. I even tipped 18% before receiving any food. When my order was ready, the employee told me to pack my own food, even though no one else in our group was asked to do that. When I asked why, he said, "You're a big boy, you can pack your own," and then said that he is basically using me to speed up the rest of the orders. Being the only Black person in the group, I left feeling singled out and questioning whether race played a role. To top it off, the ribs were extremely dry. Between the service and the food, I wouldn't recommend this place. read more

Quick lunch break on the road to Hana and I finally got my hands on huli huli chicken! We got there maybe about 20 minutes after they opened but it looks like they were still getting some things set up. Between the four of us we ordered two plates of chicken and 1 plate rib combo. I honestly wasn't sure what to expect, but the chicken was so tasty and literally cooked to perfection. The white meat wasn't dry at all. BBQ is a bit of a hit or miss since the sauce can sometimes be too sweet, but that definitely wasn't the case. The portions are very generous. The ribs were also quite good, but I think I prefer the chicken over the ribs! They have plenty of seating and you're right next to a small beach. Portable bathrooms were pretty clean as well. Cash only! read more

We stopped by here on the road to Hana, come early if you can because they're so busy-- they usually sell out before 3pm! We were the last customers they served and they were so kind to give a combo plate with an extra scoop of Mac salad. This place is CASH only, so come prepared! There are plenty of benches along the beach to sit and eat, before taking a stroll. They have port-a-potty's, however no handwashing sink. Food was delicious, and service was delightful! :) read more

Second visit and still as good :) Get the combo cos you don't want to miss the ribs either. Orders are simple - a specially made chicken and ribs with some salad and rice. They have some drink options too - all canned. Best part is you get to sit beside / on the red sand beach and enjoy the food. Lots of seating space and parking available. Not so great part - it's pretty far away but comes before the oho e gulch stop :) Must stop :) read more

Huli Huli Chicken - "Huli huli" chicken aka no flavored chicken - Barbeque Near Me - Hana, Hawaii

Huli Huli Chicken really hit the spot after a morning hike in the sun. We got there 15 minutes after opening and there was plenty of parking and a short line. I got the Huli Huli Chicken Plate and my husband got the Combo Plate (with both chicken and BBQ pork ribs). Flavors were good, fairly simple and nothing too mindblowing, and the meat was cooked well. We also got fresh fruit (banana, coconut, abiu) and a banana bread bite. The fruit tasted good -- especially the abiu, as it reminded me of fruit I would eat in the Philippines -- but the banana bread bite was just okay. I was hoping to taste more of the sweet banana flavor. The red sand beach is beautiful with picturesque views of the waves! read more

Came here around 12-1pm on a Monday and there was a line. About 1pm - no line. But they ran out of pork ribs and combo plate. In my mind, there are at least 2 types of huli huli - ketchup based and shoyu/sake based. Personally I'm more akin to shoyu/sake based. That shit is da bomb. Right by the beach. No joke get here earlier rather than later even tho that can be hard and expect a line bc Gordan Ramsey was here with Chef Sheldon. So its gotta be good. read more

Tried on recent trip to Maui. At Koki Beach. If you're into sitting picnic style at a table in a shelter on a red sand beach with Alau island offshore, eating the best grilled chicken you'll ever have, this is for you. If you're looking to be catered to, like the Four Seasons, keep driving. True island style, girl taking orders was making leis at the same time. You get it when it's done, take it easy. Look around, smell the smoke. Aloha. read more

We were shocked this place is spoken so highly of. SHOCKED. I suppose if you like camping, then you might be okay with the tent, mud, bugs, dirty tables, portable dirty restroom, lack of any sanitary items whatsoever, unless you include a jug of water that is labeled "for washing hands" or whatever it said. I might hvae enjoyed the chicken if I had a knife to cut it with. there were plastic forks and chop sticks. Someone actually told me the Road To Hana was worth it for this place alone... there isn't even a PLACE. it's a makeshift tent. I wonder if they even have a license to serve food. i was convinced we were at the wrong place and this vendor set up an unauthorized make-shift thing to siphon off business from the real place. And maybe that's true and the person recomendeding them was also fooled when sending me this address. read more

Best chicken ever! Will come back next time in Hawaii, the juiciest most flavorful thing I ate all trip, best part of the road to Hāna

This spot was featured on Gordon Ramsey for a reason! Their Huli Huli Chicken is BOMB!!!! Honestly the best chicken I've ever had- the flavor, tenderness, portion, it was all amazing. We also got to try the kalua pork with cabbage and omg that was to die for. Everything was so delicious and probably one of the best meals I've in Maui (period)!!! If you do road to Hana, this is a MUST stop! Please support this family! They are amazing and deserve all the credit to this amazing food! FYI- Cash only!! read more

Great food with terrific beachfront views eating outside. Chicken was juicy and tasty. Ribs also very good. Sticky rice and macaroni salad were terrific. Friendly service. I'd definitely recommend but don't wait too late in the day because they run out and close when food is gone. read more

I'm just a chicken enthusiast. I ordered the Huli Huli Chicken plate, it comes with papaya salad and white rice. The chicken was absolutely amazing and so easy to eat since they slice it a bit. It would've been nice if it came with a sauce for the rice but it was overall a filling meal! I was hungry and devoured the whole plate. I enjoyed my meal with a stunning view of the ocean and red sand beach. They have a lot of seating all around the beach. Only issue with the seating near the ocean was one red bench. It had screws sticking out all over the place. There's even a couple little swings on a tree in front of the water. There's lots of parking and even some porta potties. read more

While on the Road to Hana with family, we decided to make a stop at Huli Huli Chicken again. We came closer to opening time so most of the menu was available this time around for us despite being busy as ever. We got two Huli Chicken and Ribs combos for $50 which was a little steep but its a lot of food. We found a picnic table with a great view of the water a few steps away to eat. The Chicken was tender and juicy like last time. The ribs were pretty solid. The meat came off the bone and the sauce wasn't too bad either. The rice and mac salad really filled the rest of the plate and were done well. If you have cash and are looking for a meal on the Road to Hana, this is still a go to stop. read more

Had to stop by on the Road to Hana because of Gordon Ramsey. It's located in a lot on Kiko Beach, a short detour off of the road. It's cash or Venmo's, but it's hard to get cell service out in that area. We got the combo plate: pork ribs, Huli Huli chicken, and an additional side of mac salad. We were a bit disappointed in the chicken, as it was cold and soggy. I think the pork ribs were better than the chicken. read more

Well I'm going to be one a just a few that don't give a great review here It was fine. Maybe location makes it better. It was cool to eat at the side of the beach Honestly the chicken was just fine no better than the hundreds of other roadside bbq spots in America. The ribs were ok not as good as the chicken. For the price it was probably below par at $47 for a lunch I was disappointed after reading all the reviews read more

When we arrived and saw a long line, we know the food would be great. The line moved quickly and the food exceeded our expectations. There is plenty of outside seating. This place is cash only. My only complaint is the care of animals on site. There were a few dogs walking around and they were filthy and stinky. One had a huge cut on its elbow that was bleeding. When we asked about them we were told they were workers dogs and it was fine. I was very worried for them and have still been thinking about them daily. read more

Very popular chicken spot at beautiful Koki Beach! Came here to pick up a few boxes after hiking the Pipiwai Trail. Arrived a few minutes before opening at 11AM, and there was already a queue forming. A tour van arrived shortly thereafter. Recommend getting there as close to opening as possible. The nice staff member did advise us they do run out by early afternoon, and they close when they're out. I liked the sides, though the chicken (to me) was slightly underdone. I'd also ordered one combo plate with the chicken and kalua pork, but didn't discover until back at the house that they gave me two ribs instead of the pork. The ribs had good flavor but had lots of fat (and messy, which is why I typically don't get ribs). Would have still preferred to try the kalua pork. Guess it got missed between the person taking the orders and the person preparing the boxes. The chicken portion is enormous; you can either share it or have leftovers. CASH ONLY $$$ read more

This place was completely mid and didn't live up to the hype I saw online about it. First of all the chicken tasted literally exactly like a Costco rotisserie chicken. It had little seasoning and no sauce. The ribs were yummy but tbh I've had 10x better ribs made by my mom. They poured sweet baby rays bbq sauce on top which I could've bought myself at the store. Then they ran out of the macaroni salad even though we got there 1.5 hours after they opened. So they gave us literally the spring mix lettuce from Costco and topped it with Olive Garden Italian dressing. Again, I could've bought this all at the store myself. No toppings on the salad either. Just lettuce. We paid about $30 for all this and it was NOT worth it. I would not come back here, I wish I could've tried a better more authentic Hawaiian food place. 2 stars because the service was good and the people were friendly. read more

Happiness= reality -expectation. I didn't expect too much coming here. We ordered the mixed play with ribs and chicken and they started taking meat out of a cooler because it's not cooked on sight. When I started eating it, the chicken was so moist and flavorful and the ribs fell off the bone. I was absolutely shook and in for a treat. I'm not sure how it would've matched up if I looked for this place intentionally, but just randomly choosing it I absolutely loved it. read more

Get the combo plate but share it! It's large portions! I recommend trying the mamaki tea too.

Great tent space chicken and pork. Cooked to perfection Hawaiian style Sit on the rocky beach with the ocean . Just the best lunch.

Saw this on a Gordon Ramsey show and had to stop by! On the road to Hana, it's located on the side of the beach. Very windy lol, so I recommend eating quickly since your chicken will cool down fast Flavorful, moist, and huge chicken. Its skin however is quite soggy, but it is packed with flavors though. It comes with a scoop of rice (cold) and some greens (love the dressing, I believe it is seasame) The shop itself is basically a tent with a cooler to keep your chicken warm. You can grab your own soy sauce and chili sauce when paying. Nice spot to chill on the way to Hana. Beach view with a fraction of the price. But if you ask me if I would go here if it is not for the location, my answer is no. It was good, but not something crazy read more

My man and I went here yesterday when we did the road to Haena. To say the chicken was delicious would be an understatement. We got a combo with chicken and Kalua pork with cabbage. The view was to die for. We sat in the shade behind the stand. Highly recommend stopping at this place on the way. One combo with plenty large enough for the two of us. The chicken was super moist. We also got there at about 1130 when they were just setting up and the chickens were on the barbecue. Highly recommend and we will stop at Hulu Hulu Chicken again in the future. read more
