Ok I've been twice and it's been great both times. That crispy chicken really is juicy and hot and oh so yummy! Things I like: Prompt service; buzzer to tell you when your order is ready; they won't take tips; minimal plastic packaging; the great food or course! With a little luck maybe we can get them to add cheese curds onto the fries with gravy and get Jollibee Poutine! Wouldn't that be something wonderful for Maui!? Haha read more

Maui finally has it's first Jollibee's and we are all going mad especially us Filipinos! lol! After getting a sneak peek on the day of their grand opening, I could not wait to go back and I've eaten at Jollibee's before but still! haha LOCATION: Located in the old Bank of Hawaii building across from Jamba juice and Starbucks in Maui Marketplace. You can't miss it or have a hard time finding it because it has been very busy since it opened this past Friday. ATMOSPHERE: The dining room is not very big but it is very clean with cute booths and various seating options. They also have outdoor seating which is awesome. SERVICE: Service was fantastic. Everything is well marked. When you arrive, there are gates with a sign that says "enter here," then a friendly employee asks "have you been here before?" If you haven't, they give you a brief overview of Jollibees. If you have, they say "great!" and they hand you a number and a menu and direct you to enter the line to wait. While you wait, a couple of employees take your order beforehand. I love their system especially since they are still brand new here on Maui. After driving by yesterday after work and seeing the line super long like it has been, I decided to take an early lunch today and chance 'um lol. I got there shortly after 10:00 am and the wait was not very long at all YAY! Thank you Jesus & praise the Lord lol. I waited about 10-15 minutes and then I got the go ahead to enter. Yay again! FOOD: Today I ordered 2 buckets of their 6 piece chicken, a Jolly spaghetti combo with a pepsi, a pineapple quencher, adobo rice and mashed potatoes. They are very well know for their chicken called chickenjoy. Their chicken truly brings you joy hence the name :) My boss who has never tried their chicken until today said she loves it more than KFC's chicken. That statement did not surprise me. Their chicken has a different flavor and is perfectly seasoned. The skin is so crispy and the meat is so moist. You must try their chicken if you come to Jollibee's. It is my favorite. Their jolly spaghetti is delicious. I'm a bad part Filipino who doesn't care for sweet spaghetti lol but Jollibee's isn't as sweet as I've had before at family/friend's parties and at Jollibee's on Oahu. Maui's Jolly spaghetti does not taste super sweet. It is just right. So 'ono. Try it. The sides that I ordered included mashed potatoes and adobo rice. Both were delicious. Both were perfectly seasoned and still hot when I brought them back to the office. Yum! Their pineapple quencher is very refreshing and delicious as well. I highly recommend trying it. My only NEGATIVE for today's experience was that THEY DID NOT HAVE PEACH MANGO PIE. I almost cried haha. My coworkers were so sad when they heard the horrible news. Their peach mango pie is so crispy, flaky and sweet and is packaged like McDonald's pies that I love to indulge in on occasion. They apologized for not having it this morning and said they would have it in the afternoon. I guess I have another reason to come back this week or maybe we will send someone just for pies :) OVERALL: Affordable, great food and great customer service. Their system for ordering is so great. I waited maybe 5 minutes for my order and I was out of there. Other than them not having their peach mango pie this morning, everything is great. Like other people have stated, they don't have everything that is usually standard on their menu but we were told that eventually they will. They also don't have a working drive thru yet. We were told perhaps in a month or so they will have it. We are looking forward to it. TIPS: -Be ready to wait because they are still brand new here to Maui. -Be aware of their guidelines. Pictures are posted. Enjoy and have Jolly Day as they say :) read more

Almost a month after their grand opening this new restaurant is still packing them in. Consequently, the drive thru is still used for overflow waiting during busy hours. There is ample parking because Maui Marketplace has yet to find a replacement tenant for Lowe's. Chickenjoy and the spicy chicken sandwich are my favorites. My wife and daughter really like the spaghetti and palabok. Unfortunately, they don't have the full menu as some other locations, which serve halo halo and other items. However, I think the chickenjoy is the best fried chicken I've tasted. The gravy dipping sauce makes it tasty, but I prefer the chicken by itself. read more

Today is my actual second visit to Jollibee this time I was not their guest but their customer. As soon as I entered the restaurant Nostalgia sets in. Although I look as white bread as most other Americans, Im come from a cultural minority. That had it has its own dietary laws and dinning customs sitting in dining area waiting for my order at Joliebee today reminded me of some kosher chicken restaurants that opened up in New York City when I was a boy. You can see the pride in the faces of both the customers and the staff they have something that's their own now. Although it's really just fried chicken joint and some sweet spaghetti and one classic Filipino noodle dish thrown in it's made and operated with a Filipino sensibility. it's not McDonald's it's not Kentucky fried chicken. It,s theirs and there's a certain sense of pride in that. You see Young moms is waiting for their children's lunch orders and aunties and grandma's bringing their grandchildren to eat. You see contractors stop in there for lunch and a few Caucasian guys like me checking it out. At the end of the day this is fast food -good fast food-but fast food nevertheless. The french fries are not remarkable, the Chicken sandwich is much better than average. The pineapple drink reminds me of pineapple juice that used to have with my lunches as a boy. The service was friendly the place was packed and they were smart enough to change their plastic bags to paper bags. I'll be coming back here from time to time and I'm sure our large Filipino community will be here regularly proud that they have something they can call their own. Hopefully they won't forget the few mom and pop Filipino kitchens we have on maui. read more

Got there around 6:00, grabbed our number & joined the not too long of a line. I wanna say we waited around 20 minutes before being let in. They are very well organized as your order is taken while in line, so once you get to the counter you just hand them your paper. It seems as though most people were taking it to go, so there were seats available. Myself & 3 other family members got the Bucket Treat B, 6 piece bucket, adobo fried rice & the pineapple quenchers. We didn't wait too long. The chicken was a favorite, cooked perfectly, tasty skin nice & crisp. Gravy with it was not bad, but I'm not a huge gravy fan. Spaghetti was okay, better then I thought, but think I'll stick to the regular Italian style. The sausage inside was interesting, it really had no flavor. Quencher was refreshing, wish it was a little more tart. Fried rice wasn't too bad. Tiny bit of spice, but I've had better. Pie was yummy, outer shell was crisp & the mango wasn't overpowering the peach which was nice. That was a lot of food that probably could've fed 2 more people. My one thing though is that if you decide to eat there with the family style items, there's really no plate to eat on. We ate off of the chicken covers & napkins which we saw other people do as well. Be prepared to wait & be aware of the guidelines. If coming with a big party you guys may want to get 2 sets of numbers as there are limits on items person & maximum $ spent. read more

They say that nobody outsells that clown who hangs with a burglar, a purple nugget, a guy with cheese for brains, a bird who can't fly so she takes a plane instead. Except for Jollibee!!!! This happy bee is the busiest fast food mascot in the world. You know why? Chicken Joy. Pair fried chicken with gravy through the drive through: how can you go wrong?!?!?! Also on the menu: Filipino spaghetti Pancit French Fries with gravy (a nod to the Canadian Filipinos I think) Fried pie - not with apples - with mango. Love this bee yatch. read more

Marriage, children and age can influence activity and mental health. Exercise and monitoring specific food intake can manage cholesterol and weight. 60 is the new 40, and the term "fast food" is mysteriously removed from your vocabulary once children move on. Popeyes, Minute Stop, and KFC, are names I occasionally whisper in fitness classes, overnight day trips, or speakeasys...like confessing a secret lover. Yet, here we are, on Maui, home to young retired bazillionares, media stars and old bald Moguls with 30-something pregnant partners. We cannot justify decent cheap Chinese Dim Sum joint, but Jollibee-insanity justifiably reigns supreme on Filipino-centered Kahului. Even one week after a festive 5,000 guest opening day, there are lines out the door...in the pouring rain...at 4pm. Opening staff of 120 uniformed employees in orange and grey, manage and train others, prepare the food, sweep floors, and take orders at the door. All hands on deck feverishly pump-out orders like bailing water from an upturned outrigger, or building an Amish barn. Curiously, burgers and a few other items are not on the overhead menu. The seating/waiting areas are streamlined and clean. Bright, large picture windows and good lighting as you chew chicken bones and lick your fingers, after tasting that delicious fried chicken. Burgers decent, pasta and noodles different. Gravy savory. Decadent Peach pie is similar to MCD's Apple Pie but somehow buttery. As Maui's newest franchise, maybe it's worth the weight. read more

We placed an order online for pickup for two buckets of chicken. I reach there and the doors are all locked. Online ordering said "pickup". Exactly what I thought, go there enter the building and pickup my order, correct? NO! It's not like that. I reach there and the signs are posted all over "if you are picking up a order please use our drive thru". Wow! Okay so I had to now enter the drive thru and get in line with everyone who was placing their order and wait till their order gets ready while my order was ALREADY ready!! Terrible. I will never use their online ordering ever again. Love thier chicken and nothing else. read more

Jollibee - Two buckets of chicken - Chicken Shop Near Me - Kahului, Hawaii

Where to go for a late Sunday dinner on Maui? That's a tough question since most restaurants close by 7 or 8 pm nowadays. Jolliebee is open until 10pm Sundays so that's where we headed. It's located in the Maui Marketplace shopping center. There wasn't a line at the drive through so we got our order quickly. We tried the 3 piece Cjoy with mashed potatoes, gravy and pineapple quencher. We also got the 2 piece burgersteak with mashed potatoes and pineapple quencher. The chicken is crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. It comes with an extra container of gravy for dipping. The burgersteak was kind of small. If you're hungry I would get the 3 piece and 2 mashed potatoes. The pineapple quencher drink is refreshing and not too sweet. The peach mango pies would have taken an extra 10 minutes so we didn't order them this time. But we've had them before and they are really good! Thank you Jollibee for staying open late on a Sunday night! read more

I tried Jollibee for the first time so I can't compare to other ones. I was excited to try it because I always hear my Filipino friends rave about it (the Honolulu one) but to be honest- this fried chicken just tasted like normal fried chicken, nothing special. I did like that you could get rice for a side instead of just typical mashed potato or Mac n cheese. Other than that, nothing to write home about. read more

We love Jollibee and really enjoy all the foods that they have in the menu. It's really sad that they discontinue the jolly hotdogs, one of my son's favorite. I do hope they bring it back. When is the halo halo coming? This place is always clean, they are fast, and friendly. And always accommodating when I have requests on toys. read more

Jollibee - Chicken 10pieces, with ube pie, spaghetti, yummy cheeseburger - Chicken Shop Near Me - Kahului, Hawaii

This rating is due to the speed of service. Never order a meal from inside this restaurant. I ordered a 10 piece meal and only had two customers ahead of inside the store. It took over twenty minutes (from the time of the receipt print out) until our number was buzzed with the order ready. The staff prioritized cars in the drive thru so they got their meals much quicker even if they were given a number and the meal had to be delivered outside. I saw around a dozen cars come and go until they got to my order of 10 regular pieces of chicken and three sides (fries, mash potatoes, and rice). There were plenty of original chicken on the racks. After fifteen minutes, it would have just been faster cancel the order and then to go through the drive thru. Lesson learned. read more

What has happened to Jollibee on maui First off I'm not sure why but all of the branded food containers are gone. My chicken breading was not cooked all the way through.

I would give it a higher rating bc the food is good, but it's inconsistent. We get the original chicken sandwich and it can be over peppered with black pepper. My daughter won't eat it so we threw out a couple sandwiches in the last week. I asked the counter person if maybe they gave us a spicy but it was just over peppered so they didn't do anything about it. Had to go and pay for other food for my daughter : / read more

First time trying. We aren't HUGE drive thru fast food people but wanted to share something quick & didn't want the typical franchise junk food. Drive thru was relatively quick. Food was really good. Wish the adobo rice was warmer.... it was basically luke warm, but the chicken was perfect temp. The spicy was just right. The rice was a large portion... we shared the meal. We will definitely return. read more

"Now I know what everyone's talking about!" said almost everyone I know who has tried the chicken joy. The description of chicken joy is so true! Crisp yet juicy and flavorful. It's nice and clean inside. Despite a short line on this day, Jollibee's service is nice and efficient. The peach mango pie was sold out this time (must be a popular item), but we're looking forward to trying it on our next visit. Our favorites: chicken joy, yum burger (seems simple yet delicious), and jolly spaghetti. read more

Jollibee has always been a favorite for our family, so we're glad when it came to Maui several months ago. Luckily, the Jollibee that you're get at this Maui location is pretty much consistent with the Jollibee you can get elsewhere! For me, it's all about the Palabok with Fried Chicken--definitely a step a from many of the other fast food chicken joints you could go to. On the downside, we wished they offered larger drink sizes other than their standard 22oz side. We also think that, even though they are pretty amazing, the Peach Mango Pies are a little pricey considering you can get similar pies (but different flavors) from McD for about twice as much. read more

Didn't quite understand the hype because I tried this place in Oahu and wasn't impressed. Supposedly known for their fried chicken, Chicken Joy, as they call it. And their Cheeseburger. I recall having the spaghetti to cure my craving and enjoyed the convenience of getting spaghetti at a drive-thru! It was just ok. So, seeing my Jollibee was opening on Maui, I wasn't hyped like everyone else seemed to be and waited, just so they could take the bugs out and the crowd cooled down. Went there on a Sunday and believe it or not, the wait was only about 10 minutes, from waiting in line to getting my food. And damn! Chicken Joy, hellooo! Yum yum! Crispy outside, moist inside and not too greasy unlike the KFC down the road! And the taste was pretty darn good as well! And the Cheeseburger! I think it was $3.29 for the burger only, pricey, but good! Same size as McDonalds cheeseburger but way better. Oh, and the mango peach pie! Yummers! Been there 3 times since they opened and plan to go again soon! Very nice inside with several eating booths, window counters and outside seating also. The crew there is quick and professional and the food comes out hot and fresh! Drive-thru on Maui hasn't opened yet, but I parked my car there so I'd be first in line when they do! Much better than my experience at the Jollibee on Oahu (Dillingham), and so far, worth the hype! read more

We decided to brave the crowd and got up EXTRA early on a Sunday to get in line an hour and a half before the store opened. Glad we did. The time went fast everyone was so excited there even was a DJ and best of all first 100 costumers got a Jollibee Mascot Doll. Since I'm a 8 year old trapped in this body I was THRILLED!!! There is not a lot seating inside but its very nice. The staff was wonderful and everyone was really excited! We decided to order a 6 piece Chickenjoy Bucket, Chicken Sandwich, Jolly Spaghetti, Peach Mango Pie and Pineapple Quencher. The Chicken was crispy and moist. The Chicken Sandwich was OK nothing too special. I liked the Spaghetti it was good but it is a little sweet. I really am a fan of sweet so I really liked it. The Peach Mango Pie is GREAT !!!!! I just loved it. Very close to a McDonald's pie but MUCH more flavor!!!!! The Pineapple Quencher is GREAT!!!! I would order that again and again. Cant wait for the drive thru to open.....yup we will be back. read more

Jolliebee , wow what can I say, I truly believe it is the best fried chicken on the island. If you don't mind waiting in a long line literally out the door. My motto is " If there is a line, there is a line for a reason" The chicken is juicy and skin is fried perfectly. Golden yellow the sizes are very well proportioned and way bigger than KFC. The gravy is good. gravy my wife tells me that Filipinos dip there chicken into the gravy. Well heck I have always done that very thing anyway, yummy. The mashed potatoes taste like they are made from real potatoes..what!?!? Yes real potatoes I also had the sweet spaghetti, now I don't mean like the expression as in sweet, spaghetti, I mean the taste is sweet. I liked it, my boys did not, whatever more for me. The price point is average for Maui. Truth be told my son waited in line all night for the grand opening and won a free 6 piece chicken for a year. So I dont know what it costs I take my free chicken and smile and thank God for this awesome chicken. Enjoy read more

We ordered food at 8:30 pm they close at 10:00pm one worker started throwing soapy water down on the floor and leaving it there... we were sitting and we got surrounded by soapy water. He didn't try and mop it up, he was discouraging people from sitting down. It was very dangerous. We couldn't use the bathroom, they had it all shut down with.mop water and turned over tables read more

I have to say the food has gotten much better since they opened. I have eaten here multiple times from when they opened thru today. The food has much better taste and they now have the full menu. Keep in mind this is not fine dining but for fast food it's not bad and adds a twist to your ordinary fast food places. Especially here on Maui where our choices are severely limited. So it is very nice that they have improved food quality and I wanna say service has improved but that is to be expected. These folks are doing a great job even with limited staffing. I was kinda on the fence before but now I'm definitely a believer. I will be back again. This morning I had a cheese burger with fries and a soda. I enjoyed the cheese burger it had a different type of sauce that gave it a nice flavor. The bun was nice and soft and the fries were done perfectly. It was perfect for a nice pre lunch snack. Happy to see this business is doing well and improving every day. read more

I guess it takes a pandemic for the lines to lessen. Finally had a chance to utilize the gift card that I received. Drive-through was our only option as there is no dining in allowed while we are under Stay At Hone orders. The drive-through was not very busy, thank goodness. We got through drive-through relatively quickly. The order taker was very friendly, informative and efficient. I wish that we had gone with rice versus spaghetti. I found the spaghetti to be bountiful, but flavorless. The chicken was crispy, good color, also flavorless. The mango peach pie was the highlight of my meal. It's said that symptoms of the virus is loss of taste and smell? I might be in need of a test? read more

Everyone that knows Jollibees knows it's a novelty for Filipinos anywhere when one comes to a new community. That's why as of 1/31/2020 (one week from opening day) there's still a line out their door 30-45 minutes deep. For those that don't know Jollibees... this is NOT filipino food per se (with a few exceptions), it is filipino FAST food. Sweet spaghetti, fried chicken, and yumburgers are the standouts/best sellers here. There's more for sure but start with those if you're still cutting your teeth with this culture. Here comes my actual review. There is no shade being cast here. I want this place to succeed. But there is reason for 4 stars instead of the 5. The Good: The food hits the spot. It's not healthy by any means. I'm guilty of craving a YumBurger or some super crispy fried chicken every once in a while, and my last 2 visits have both been satisfying. I also enjoyed their Fried chicken Sandwich which I was not planning to order on my first visit to this location. The Bad: Service wise they are very efficient and friendly, but on both visits they were out of or not serving something I wanted. One of my biggest issues: Just yesterday the burger I got was not hot. Not cold either but close to it. To summarize, Fried chicken and gravy: Hot. Burger: Not. Hopefully they can work out those minor kinks as I can imagine I'll be back again soon. The kids and in-laws are yet to get their visit. #itsourturn read more

This is only based on a first time visit. We had chicken sandwiches (add lettuce and tomato), fries, and their version of a Sprite. I am not sure why, but I didn't like their chicken sandwich. Too much odd flavored mayonnaise for my taste, and it just didn't sit well on my palette or in my stomach. The fries were standard, and I gobbled those up. The off brand Sprite was odd too. I will go back to try the fried chicken, and other samplings, but would not again order the chicken sandwich. This is only personal preference, my husband loved his. read more

I really enjoy the fried chicken here. The problem is they rip you off. The chicken is expensive enough (10 piece drumstick/thigh mix for $30), and they rip you off on top of that. I recently purchased a 10 piece box to find out that every piece of the thigh pieces were cut in half. Not only that, the halves that I got all had the back/pelvis bone attached to it. Essentially it looks like a bigger piece of fried chicken, but it's half bone and not meat. The piece of the thigh bone that was in the chicken was only about an inch long. I've never experienced this with any other chicken places I've been to. I can't spend my hard earned money here anymore. Better to go spend money for local plate lunch. read more
