The ambiance and service here are what makes this one of my favorite restaurants in Maui. The watermelon salad is my favorite thing on the menu though I've tried almost everything and haven't had a bad experience yet. read more

My family look forward to the breakfast at Ka'ana kitchen. It was a buffet style with lots of options. They had fried rice, stir fry noodles, miso soup, and then assorted breakfast pastries like pancakes, waffles that changed every day. My favorite is the drink selection. They have over five or six different pressed juices. My go to was the pineapple turmeric. They also have made to order omelettes, all the standard proteins bacon and sausage. They had cereal, yogurt, chia pudding and a whole lot of fruits and cold appetizers. The hot sauce selection is also a huge plus in my book. Make sure you ask for them. read more

Ka'ana Kitchen - Breakfast with a view - Asian Fusion Near Me - Wailea, Hawaii

Ate here for brunch for 2 mornings while staying at the andaz. Both days were really good! The food, staff and ambiance were excellent. It costs $49/adult and my 3 year old son was free. Some of my favorites from the buffet were the pastries, potatoes, made to order omelet and all the juices. It was nice that you could order your omelet with the server instead of having to wait in a line to order like normal buffets. My son has a severe nut allergy but this buffet had tons of options for him too so we also enjoyed it a lot. read more

John is the best server EVER. He's incredibly attentive, kind, and makes great recommendations! He makes dining for dinner here a truly enjoyable experience. I had the wagyu hangar steak which was AMAZING. Buttery, bursting with flavor, and not the slightest bit tough. The ahi tuna Caesar is also delicious and a unique take on a salad! Really good stuff :) I've come here several times and it doesn't disappoint. Thanks John!! read more

Everyone was great, fast service kind and they didn't bug you. Always came to your table when you needed it. The food was excellent. It was our first time there. We don't realize they would have comped our parking. They did shuttle us back to our hotel just right down the road. read more

The food at Ka'ana Kitchen was basically unimpeachable. The kale, beets, goat cheese, citrus and cinnamon in my salad were a spectacular mixture of flavors and textures. My partner's ahi was similarly creative and cohesive with lilikoi jelly and burrata. We'd return often if we lived here. The positioning along the hotel terrace at sunset was also amazing though the service staff said that they usually have people requesting different seats than the ones they are given because of the blinding light. We too had this issue so it seems like something they should address, not simply discuss. Lastly, our waiter was friendly but did that annoying thing of complimenting his own restaurant via faux humility, asking if the food tastes as good as it looks. No need to build oneself up and put words in our math. We can be the arbiters of both looks and taste. Also, he mentioned the note in my reservation that it was our anniversary and said we should come back for a dessert on the house. This comment didn't make much sense to me. Ultimately a fantastic meal but with one star docked for a few service snags. read more

Breakfast buffet is super fun! I wish there were slightly more vegan options, but everything is clearly labeled with food allergens. There is a rotating selection of breakfast options, with egg dishes made to order. Don't forget to ask for a side of avocado! read more

Aesthetically nice and great views but food and service were lacking. Undercooked vegetables and overly salted fries for kids. The entrees were subpar and overpriced for the taste/quantity. Drinks were pretty but not great, either too sour or too sweet. Service was slow and had to track down the waitstaff multiple times. Definitely not worth the price at all. read more

We came here to cap off our Maui trip and to celebrate our 15th wedding anniversary. This fine dining restaurant is located in the Andaz Maui resort. Valet parking is included. The hotel and restaurant are modern and elegant We arrived at sunset and were treated to an amazing view. The watermelon salad appetizer was specially prepared and tasted very unique and fresh. Our entrees were perfectly seasoned, cooked and appropriately portioned. The desserts were decadent. Our waiter was very knowledgeable and thoughtful. We had a wonderful evening and look forward to coming back again. read more

Great food but the ambiance is less zen/romantic than morimoto. Our table looked upon two big TVs at the bar with sports playing. Our waitress is lovely, fun, and friendly - really liked the service. MUST GET: Coconut ice cream sundae : best dish that we had at the restaurant. Definitely tried this at the end. Not super sweet but creamy. SOLID: Grilled octopus salad: the first steamed octopus to make it tender then grow it at high heat. Makes this dish a winner. Scallop: balanced flavor with scallop from the east coast. Fried chicken: best enjoyed with the schramsberg Blanc de Blanc SO SO: Watermelon salad ---- We also had all you can eat brunch here on Sunday. Good spread. I really liked the miso soup, papaya, custom made omelette, Portuguese sausage, mochi waffle etc. Fruits are of high quality. read more

Beautiful view, though it can be a bit distracting if you are sitting outside right behind the lounge one floor below. We were just off the corner of the lower lounge area and I kept seeing the giant TV screen playing sports, which kinda dampens the mood. You also hear any live music from the lounge, which can be good or bad (in our case, we didn't mind it). Food was very well prepared and presented. I liked the appetizers much more than the entrees, but the entrees were still good. We had the following: - Watermelon Salad: Simple but very refreshing and tasty. I would order again. - Kula Beet Salad: Also very delicious, but needs more Kale flakes. Kale is fried and displayed as a topping to the beet salad (as 3-4 medium sized leaves). I would order this again too. - Ahi Tataki: Very unique dish and my wife really loved it. I liked it too, but I don't eat much cheese. I would recommend this dish to others. - Maui Caught Fish: Well prepared, tasty, and with a good portion of vegetables (which isn't often the case with some entrees). I enjoyed it, but appetizers were still my favorites. Service was good, but nothing special. Overall a good experience. I really love the 3 infinity pools you walk by on the way up to the restaurant. And the inside of the restaurant also looks very nice. If you are near the resort and looking for a nice dining option with good views, you should definitely give this a try. read more

We enjoyed breakfast for seven consecutive days at Ka'ana Kitchen, and each experience was astounding! What a varied selection of scrumptious food, all of which was equaled by the top-flight service of Nic, Matt, and (oh how I wish I could remember her name) the lady with the longer curled hair and glasses; all were so attentive and outgoing. I felt as if we made numerous friends just be interacting daily with them. Highly recommended! read more

Ka'ana Kitchen came highly recommended to us! Not my favorite entree that I ordered in Maui but they have a unique menu and the service was very quick. The indoor area of the restaurant is a little underwhelming, so I was glad we were seated outdoors, which overlooks the beautiful Andaz pool and bar area. They had live music when we were there which was nice! The best thing we ordered was the Grilled Octopus appetizer. It came with a nice portion of perfectly cooked octopus, chèvre cheese, and a light dressing. We also ordered the ahi tataki appetizer which was a really interesting dish. I never would've thought that ahi tuna and burrata would taste so good together! I had high hopes for the ahi bigeye entree but it fell a little short. The serving of tuna could've been a little bigger and there were only a few mushrooms on the plate. However, the different sauces it was plated with were really flavorful and made the other vegetables a little more exciting! My husband ordered the Maui Caught Fish entree, which was Monchong when we went there. He said it reminded him of a Chilean sea bass and that the overall dish was delicious. I snuck a few bites and liked his entree better than what I ordered for sure :) We finished off our meal with a bowl of the coconut ice cream, the perfect palette cleanser! read more

Located in the Andaz, valet parking only but they validate for visitors. Made a reservation and they require a credit card to hold the reservation. Mix of indoor and outdoor seating we got there in time to get an outdoor table and views of the resort and sunset are amazing!!!! Great cocktail and wine list. Menu is super interesting and it was hard to decide what to get. Tons of options for gluten free and vegetarian diners. Tuna tataki was a take on the caprese salad. I was skeptical but the flavor profile was amazing. For my main I had sweet potato cakes with mushrooms and green beans and it was tied together with a really amazing sauce. My husband had the mushroom risotto which was also quite tasty. We finished off the meal with a chocolate banana rum cake and WOW! Fantastic service, fantastic food. Great place to check out for a date night or dinner out on vacay! read more

This is a restaurant in Maui that has a kitchen. The food they serve can be shared. Not bad

Oh Hawaii how I miss you!!! We stayed here since our friends had a Wailea Hawaii wedding I love this place especially when the food surprises you! The staff here is so lovely, friendly, FUN, wants you to enjoy the meal, exciting, and oh so kind! Thank you Ambiance in this place is open, airy, and the view is so beautiful. Definitely sit by the balcony area so you can catch the sunset at dinner or sunrise in the morning. We went here for their delicious buffet. I really loved the juices, oatmeal, and bacon. Sure sure so simple but the way they make it makes a quality difference. Ok onto the dinner food!!! The dishes are well presented, quality, and the flavors are subtle yet powerful. Gotta taste it for yourself :) We ordered the... -sesame noodles: sooooo yummy!! -fried chicken like wow definitely different from the norm -scallops over risotto omg those scallops perfectly seared over a bed of light yet creamy risotto -butterfish or some sort of delicious fish lol -annnnnd all of their desserts are amazing! I remember a chocolate molten cake with vanilla ice cream and macadamia nuts...so good! We definitely want to go back again!!! Cheers chef and Andaz Maui! read more

Buffet brunch at Ka'ana Kitchen at the Andaz Wailea was pure perfection! From the intimate decor, buffet stations, juice bar, pastries, impeccable wait staff service, and lanai views overlooking beautiful Wailea Beach. Guests in line can start with the coffee and juice bar. All in all a wonderful brunch that lived up to its hype. Highly recommend Ka'ana Kitchen when you are a guest at the Andaz, or in the area looking for buffet brunch spots. read more

The Xmas dinner buffet was NOT worth 200$ per person. While the ambiance and service were decent, the food simply didn't meet expectations for a luxury establishment like the Andaz. I wouldn't recommend it unless they significantly improve the quality of the menu. Definitely not worth the price. read more

Did the buffet breakfast and dinner. The ambience is superb, facing beautiful hotel grounds, pools and a little away, the ocean over makapu beach. Service is good but mixed for a place of the stature. Some of staff were exceptional on some days, but others were average. Buffet breakfast: Good selection of island fruit, the usual spread of protein including sausages and smoked salmon, cereals pastries etc. made to order eggs you order through waiter. The highlight was the island fruit at peak ripeness including pineapples and papayas. Dinner: great experience. Food was excellent from the fish preparations through dessert. read more

Ka'ana Kitchen - Fruit salad! - Asian Fusion Near Me - Wailea, Hawaii

We went for the breakfast buffet every day since it was included in our Costco package. The food was great, fruit fresh and a number of dishes varied every day. Service could be a bit better. Had it not been included, $363 including tip every day, for breakfast for 6, would be a bit much. read more

Had heard so many good things about this place for dinner. Definitely place a reservation far in advance because it books up. Ambiance was nice, familiar because we had come here earlier for brunch, but there was live music outside. Around sunset is a nice time to come given they have all the windows open to see the beautiful views. Honestly, the squid salad and scallops were my absolute favorite. The salad is simple yet just so delectable and the squid was not too chewy- was cooked to perfection. The scallops were juicy and fairly medium in size, and equally delicious! Everyone had recommended the fried chicken so I split this with my husband. Don't get me wrong, it was delicious but definitely more heavy than our other dishes. Would recommend it if you're super hungry and in a fried chicken mood but otherwise squid salad and scallops!! read more

Entire place smells like egg, the dishes were dirty, the utensils as well. The coconut syrup was either expired or left out too long. The mochi pancakes were not entirely mochi - they had a sour after taste. Not impressed at all. Very hard to enjoy anything when the place is dirty and smells like egg. Service was great but the food and cleanliness is very bad. read more

Absolutely loved our server, truly one of the best I've had in terms of being genuine and kind. Helped find a better drink when mine didn't come out right initially. In terms of food and atmosphere, I really enjoyed it all. Food was unique and I'd highly recommend getting anything that is sushi-grade fish that is toasted on the outside. Truly a unique bite. Would recommend the fish appetizers-- amazing. read more

We had dinner at Ka'ana Kitchen and sat at a nice outdoor table with a view of the ocean. We asked the server about recommendations and portion size (to minimize waste), but he replied with non-answers that weren't helpful, so we took a shot and ordered the fried chicken and pork chop. Both were okay, but kind of dry and not anything we'd order again. A couple of days later, after hearing raves about their breakfast buffet, we decided to give the restaurant another try, and I'm so glad we did. The buffet included omelets, all kinds of meats, salmon, potatoes, fruits and just about any breakfast or breakfast-adjacent item you could think of, and everything we ate was excellent. read more

Ka'ana Kitchen - Asian Fusion Near Me - Wailea, Hawaii

Heard a bunch of good reviews about Ka'ana Kitchen and had to check it out myself. Had reservations but since we got there earlier than our scheduled time, the host was able to take us in earlier. I really liked the farm to table concept, but felt the food was so-so.. the menu is categorized by apps and mains, so our server recommended my mom and I each order 1 app and 1 main dish. We settled on the grilled octopus salad, kampachi crudo, Maui caught fish, and sweet potato ginger. I think my favorite dish was the sweet potato ginger, followed by the Maui caught fish (which reminded me of a twist on Filipino sinigang), and then the grilled octopus salad. I'm glad the grilled octopus was actually tender, but thought it didn't match well with the chèvre. Didn't care too much for the crudo either. The service and ambiance were great, but I think I'd only go back o try their breakfast! read more

We were looking for a food place to have dinner and picked Ka'ana Kitchen. Reservation was easy to make via OpenTable. We arrived and was told they only offer valet parking. I understand often valet parking is the only option in many fine dining places but I thought this should be made an exception during the pandemic since some people might want to reduce the number of contacts with others. But it was fine for us so we handed over the keys and went inside. When we arrived at the restaurant we had our temperature taken before the receptionist led us to our table. I could see all staff there were wearing a face mask and they would avoid pouring water for the customer which was nice and considerate. Our waitress was very nice and helped us pick the cocktail which we loved. I ended up order another cocktail that night. We truly enjoyed the grilled octopus with goat cheese. The catch of the day and the ahi tataki. The risotto was a little underwhelming but that is just a personal taste so don't let it deter you. The ambient was vibrant and lively with live performance in progress when we arrived. Though it was too far for us to see anything but it truly made you feel like you are in a tourist town. Some people may find it nice and enjoy Maui with fewer tourists which I like too. But that night I felt it was more lively thanks to the performance at Andaz. Overall I think this is a good place and I definitely recommend anyone visiting Maui to make a reservation and dine here for a night. read more

Terrific breakfast a must for Andaz hotel guests, sophisticated dinner well worth stopping in for. A spacious and beautifully appointed indoor/outdoor space within the Andaz, the breakfast spread delights with a substantial rotating variety for return visitors -- all of which make for a yummy and terrific start to the day. The staff are friendly, with rad folks on their staff like Jenny setting the guest experience bar super high. Dinner is really special and well executed, easily a standout full service experience in Wailea and Maui as a whole. The menu is quality over quantity, neatly categorized by vegetables, fish, and farm (meat). Presentation, ingredients, and flavors are all top notch. Wonderful. read more

We love the breakfast buffet at the Ka'ana Kitchen. We went almost every day when we stayed at the Andaz. It is a good value and there are so many delicious choices. The pancakes, pastries and noodle dishes change daily. There are multiple kinds of fresh squeezed juices. They also will make omelettes and eggs to order. The service is excellent. There are nice small gestures such as bringing my iced tea refill in a to go cup when I asked for a refill near the end of the meal. The patio has a wonderful view of the pools and ocean. We've also eaten here at dinner. We try to make our reservations during sunset in the evening. We loved the daily fish and waygu hanger steak appetizer. read more

We have been coming to Ka Ana for over 6 years and it never fails. We had our go to items (watermelon salad, wagyu hanger, and mushroom risotto) but last night we branched out! We tried the buttermilk chicken and mochi waffle, and the shrimp scallop fettuccine. Both of which were excellent. The mochi was divine, well done. I was so happy with our experience that I woke up this morning with a smile and knew I needed to provide a review. Special thanks to the wait staff who have always been spectacular even in times of staff shortages. Thank you Chris for last night and to Tia for many meals before. We shall see you soon read more

I'm starting by saying this review almost didn't happen - my wife and I were seriously considering walking out before even being seated. We had 5:45pm reservations and arrived shortly before the restaurant opened at 5:30. While the door was unlocked, the hostess was turning people away from checking in until 5:30. That I understand. Where it got frustrating is once 5:30 rolled around, we went up to check in yet were turned away because our reservation was not for another 15 min and there were others ahead of us. Still okay. However, when we went up at 5:40 with every other party seated and no one but us waiting and yet again were turned away ... well, that got my BP up. We were told we would had to wait until closer to our reservation time. Closer than 5 minutes? Seriously?! There was no one else in the lobby waiting and almost the entire restaurant empty. What made it worse is that there was not even an attempt to accommodate or to offer water or drink from the bar. Nothing. At this point we almost left. The only thing that held us back was our previous experience at this restaurant, which was wonderful. A second hostess finally approached and we were led to our table. A nice little four top with a view. And from this point on the story takes a turn for the better...in fact, I don't want to spoil the ending - but wow / it takes a great turn for the better. Our very friendly server recommended a nice rose on special which was just what we needed to start to decompress after the checkin fiasco. Looking over the menu (again, as we had pored over it online, and during our wait in the lobby) we really couldn't decide what to order. We stayed with our first instinct and ordered the watermelon salad and the octopus salad. Oh my! Both were fabulous. The watermelon salad was light and refreshing. The octopus was perfectly cooked and the lemon oil drizzle on the greens, balanced by a silky smooth goat cheese - outstanding. We were still a little hungry - so I decided to try their catch of the day - swordfish prepared with a fennel/pork belly chorizo sauce. And, to indulge a guilty pleasure, we ordered a side of curly fries that we noticed the kids at the next table having. I haven't had swordfish for the longest time - and this might have been the best preparation I've ever had. Firm, succulent, moist - and the flavors from the fennel and chorizo (and let's face it - mostly the chorizo) were spot on. And perhaps not surprisingly - the side of curly fries was great too - made even better when we poured the extra chorizo sauce over the top - our version of a poutine. Having had three (four?) excellent dishes - and being comfortably full - I decided to press my luck and order the coconut macadamia nut sundae because - why not? Yep - good choice! Tasty ice cream and candied macadamia nuts. A very nice end to a delicious meal. I learned my lesson here - patience is a virtue. We're glad we stayed. A five star meal only marred by the initial service. The check-in could have definitely been handled with more grace, but the food more than made up for it. read more

Amazing breakfast service the food was amazing and they had a great spread of options for the buffet.

Food was good, views were great, service was excellent. We had a very enjoyable meal. Staff was so attentive and gracious. Some of the hotel guests/ other diners make the vibe a bit pretentious, but that wasn't the restaurant's fault. I watched a full blown Karen send her meal back halfway through because she didn't like the taste after the server had explained the dish flavors in detail before she ordered it. insert eye roll. Everyone from the restaurant was very warm and friendly though, and our meals were delicious. vegan friendly too :) Definitely recommend checking it out. read more

Ka'ana Kitchen - Asian Fusion Near Me - Wailea, Hawaii

I usually reserve one fine dining dinner when I go on vacation to Maui, and this time I chose Ka'ana Kitchen. You can choose to do the Chef's Table Tasting Menu that comes with 6 courses (5 savory and 1 dessert) for $125 pp, or you can choose 3 items that you'd like for $85. I decided to go with the Chef's Table. You can also add their wine pairing with each course for an additional $125 pp, but I opted to just get 1 glass of wine since I had to drive back to my Airbnb. I made reservations several weeks in advance and was able to get the day and time that I wanted. The restaurant is beautiful, as it's located inside the Andaz Wailea. Parking is valet only, but you can get your ticket validated and they will waive the $15 fee. The attire is dressy casual. Upon arrival, I was impressed to find a personalized name plate in front of my place setting. Such a classy touch! I was immediately greeted by my server, who poured me a complimentary glass of rose. What a great first impression! The service continued to be superb throughout the evening, with various servers and managers checking on me to ensure that all was going well. It's an open air kitchen and those who select the Chef's Table get to sit around the open air kitchen where the Cooks are preparing the meals. There are approximately 5 Cooks - each one assigned to a different station - pantry, grill, saute, etc, and different dishes. You get to see (and smell) all of the dishes that they are cooking. The Cooks are personable and work very well together as a team. I got to sit in front of Brian, who made a lot of the fish and seafood dishes. In my opinion, that seat was the best one in the house! The courses came out one at a time. There is supposed to be 6 courses total, and they even gave me a complimentary course! They also mentioned that if there was anything else that I wanted to try (in addition to the 6 courses), then to just let them know. I didn't take advantage of that because clearly there was already so much food, but it was a nice offer. Here are the dishes that I tried (see my photos attached): Watermelon Salad - goat cheese feta, li hing mui, candied walnuts Ahi Tataki - zuhair tomatoes, fresh burrata, lilikoi Wagyu Hanger - nuoc cham, green papaya, peanut AND Grilled Octopus - lemon oil, olive bread, Big Island chevre Scallop Risotto - saiko miso, shiitake mushroom, shrimp XO Fried Chicken - greens, butter mochi, HI spice jalapeño-lime I cannot remember what this dish was! ‍ I was already in a major food coma. Dessert Sampler - A) Ku'ia Estate Chocolate Mousse - Haleakala goat caramel, sweet potato & taro chips, black lava salt. B) Coconut Sundae - coconut ice cream, chocolate sauce, macadamia, coconut cake C) Caramelized Chocolate Cheesecake - white chocolate specks, pickled blueberries, cracked black pepper meringue For $125, this meal was an extreme value for the amount of dishes you get to try. The portions are supposed to be tasting portions, but to me they were very generous in size. All of the dishes were delicious. I was full by the 4th dish, but I kept on going because I wanted to try them all! I would highly recommend this meal if you are celebrating a special occasion or just want to treat yourself to a wonderful evening. read more

Ka'ana Kitchen is located on the lower level of the relatively new (6-yr old) and gorgeous Andaz Hotel in Wailea. We booked their Chef's Table using OpenTable, a $125/pp 6-course tasting menu where you literally sit in the kitchen to see the magic happen up front and smell all the aromas. You also get to hear all the "chefspeak" and the sound of that ticker, described in great detail in the late Anthony Bourdain's "Kitchen Confidential." SUMMARY Absolutely 5 stars in terms of food, service, and experience. I do recommend the Chef's Table - you get smaller portions of their best signature entrees that are tailored based on any allergies or aversions, but you WILL get full by dish four or five. The restaurant itself is huge and from the main dining room you can order larger portions of what we had from menu, with each dish ranging from about $15 to $45. SERVICE Top notch - multiple staff waited on us and took time to explain each dish. It was fun to chat with the chefs too - after dessert one of them joked whether we were ready for 5 more dishes, LOL! The final dessert dish was something to behold, and was brought out by the pastry chef herself, Ashley. At the end of meal, they validate your valet parking so bye bye $15 charge. FOOD Most of our dishes were 5 stars with a handful of 4 stars. Meat and seafood-centric Asian fusion is how I describe it. My wife and I mostly got different dishes a few times, as she is not a huge fan of tuna and raw fish. Favorites (5 stars) 1. Grilled Octopus Salad: Perfectly cooked, and my wife's favorite dish. The marinated in white wine and cooked it low and slow with lemon oil for a light, mediterranean-style preparation. 2. Watermelon Salad: A simple dish but really refreshing. They added some passionfruit in and I liked the balance of sweetness with the bitter arugula and savory feta and soy sauce. 3. Black Sesame Noodles: Very intense flavors here, and I liked the hint of spiciness at the end. 4. Wagyu Hanger: Man this was unbelievably soft and tender. Also slowly cooked with some Asian-style marinade which gave it a complex flavor of sweet, salty, and spicy at the same time. 5. Ahi Bigeye: Meaty fish dish and I loved the bacon jam which brought out even more flavor. 6. Dessert: Wow - a trifecta of a lemon tart, chocolate sundae with mac nuts, and a bitter dark chocolate mousse with taro chips. Good dishes with minor flaws (4 stars) 1. Short Rib Mole: Loved the short rib as it was so soft and juicy with sweet, spicy, and savory flavors along with tartness from pickled jicama. The Forbidden rice was slightly undercooked and not soft enough. 2. Scallop Risotto: Perfectly cooked risotto but found the scallop a bit over-seasoned, especially on the seared crust. 3. Ahi Tataki: A very popular dish based on all the orders called from the kitchen. However, I already had the awesome Big Eye Ahi so it would have been nice to try something else in hindsight. Even another helping of that Octopus Salad, LOL! The Chef's Table at Ka'ana Kitchen is definitely a must-try experience in Maui! read more
