Gem of a find, an oasis half a block from the beach comprising the HANDS DOWN best Food Truck Pod in Maui! Such a lovely garden setting with clean well maintained picnic tables set into a lush garden setting, a lawn with fairy lights for games in the evening, live music and tables with hand crafted tems for sale. Just beautiful! Best of all, the upscale food trucks did not disapoint with fresh quality food, large portions and a wide variety of choices from bakery, acai, and shave ice options, gluten free, Thai, pizza, BBQ, Indian, burgers, salads and locally sourced fare. Da BOMB!

I stopped by here yesterday for lunch. Sun's Out Buns Out is located in a food truck pod, so I did…read morenot realize exactly where I was going until I saw all of the trucks. The truck itself is fun, painted with bright tropical colors and scenes, and they seem to be known for their loaded tots and bao buns. I placed my order on the touchscreen outside and then sat down to wait for my food. For lunch on this day I went with the buffalo chicken tots and the Island Piggy bao. The menu described the bao as kalua pork, BBQ sauce, tropical salsa, and pickled red onions. The buffalo chicken tots were described as buttermilk fried chicken, buffalo sauce, jack cheddar cheese, house made pickles, and ranch dressing. It took less than 10 minutes for my food to be ready and I sat down at one of the shaded picnic tables. When I opened everything up it all looked good, but I did notice that the tots were missing the house made pickles. I started with the bao and thought it was pretty good. The kalua pork was super juicy and the bao bun was light and fluffy while still holding together well. The pickled onions added a nice acidity and the tropical salsa brought good flavor. The only thing I did not notice much was the BBQ sauce. After that I dug into the tots. The tots themselves were cooked nicely with a crispy outside and soft inside. The chicken was good as well with a nice batter and the buffalo sauce added flavor while the cheese was gooey. The only thing worth noting is that the chicken was softer than expected and not very crispy. It worked since I did have the texture from the crispy tots, but it stood out. The bottom line for me is that I would head back here again in the future. I would probably not order both a bao and tots again as it was a lot of food, but I would definitely come back for one or the other.

One of the better food trucks in the Maui Food Truck court…read more Bao Bun Sandwiches is definitely my jam so I was happy to try this place out. We came here twice and I got the 3 bao slider combo each time. - The BAO*CHICKA*BAO*BAO was one of my favorite sandwiches. - My second favorite was the ISLAND PIGGY. I got this both times. - the LITTLE PIGGY was good, but a little overhyped in my opinion. But good to try. - the DUCK DUCK GOAT was wildly disappointing. As you can see in the picture, all meat and almost nothing else. Maybe a few silvers of cabbage. But where's the goat cheese and the fig jam?!? We also got the ALOHA TOTS. Huge portion so that was nice. But the kalua pork was pretty watery and made the crispy tots go soggy pretty fast. Overall a solid spot. Definitely worth trying at least once.

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!

We visited around noon during a weekday so not as many trucks were present. We did hear that more trucks are available towards the evening but it gets super busy. I think this is a nice location if you're going with a group as there are plenty of options. If you're looking for something more intimate, it would be better to go before the evening rush.

The Maui Food Trucks was a hit throughout our week stay. We came here at least 3 times for lunch…read more I think there around 10-11 food trucks with a great variety of food to choose from, including but not limited to local dishes, fish tacos, bao bun sandwiches, sliders, BBQ, sushi, burgers, shrimp plates, Thai, Mexican, breakfast, coffee, shaved ice, acai bowls. So yes, great variety ! The trucks that were there were when we visited were: Sol Brothers BBQ Suns Out Buns out (bao bun sandwiches) Vidad's (local plates, acai bowls) Maui Shrimp Maui Burgers Da Nani Pirates (fish tacos, local, sliders) Kracken Coffee Aloha Tai Fuson Z4 Grill (Teppanyaki, local food) Mexican Food truck K'Alale (breakfast, Mexican, pasta) Yummy Maui (sushi) Shaved Ice Most trucks you order on the electronic kiosk and they'll call your name when it's done. There are several (maybe 6?) covered areas with numerous tables and chairs, so ample seating is available. I saw a lot of complaints of dirty tables from bird poop. We had no problem with the tables. They were all clean. However there ARE a ton of birds and chickens, so except them to join you for lunch and and run around your feet and below the tables, waiting for you to drop food. One annoyance was only a few places have a kids menu, and was limited to hot dogs, grilled cheese, and cheese burgers (depending on what trucks are there). I do suggest you look up each individual food truck on yelp to see their menus and food pictures. This page doesn't give the greatest insight on that. A solid 4 star spot for lunch! Highly recommend if you want variety

There are tables available, but it does get busy, so come with a little patience. Definitely worth checking out if you're in the area.

I've been a repeat customer because I always enjoyed the grilled ono sliders, but this visit was a…read morehuge disappointment. The menu photo shows thick pieces of ono, and that's how they've always been served in the past. This time, the fish was paper thin and barely filled the bun. It definitely wasn't worth the price. I politely asked why the ono was so thin, and I was told, "They're sliders, that's why they're thin." I explained that I've ordered these many times before and they've never looked like this, but my concern was dismissed. I understand portions can vary, but this was a drastic difference from what I've received before. Loyal customers notice when quality and portions change. Unfortunately, after this experience, I won't be returning.

No frills, just fresh fish lightly seasoned and served with some salsas in a corn tortilla. The ahi tasted great, really nowhere to hide given the way that a hunk of meat took on the majority of each taco. The salsas were also a nice touch, some acid and just a hint of spice to add flavor to the dish. The tortillas were lightly toasted, which was an interesting choice. I would have preferred soft, but the little bit of crisp added some structure that made it easier/less messy. All in all a good stop within this bigger food truck courtyard.
