    Stopped in on the way back from a hike. There are a couple options as far as food goes that are quick. I assume they typically have tables and chairs in the giant open space when covid is not a thing.

    No more tables and chairs!

    I really like this spot when I'm in Kahului and looking for a casual and quick sit-down lunch... (until the pandemic at least). Nowadays there are no tables and chairs, and food is take-out only. I like that there's options, so if you're with others, each person can choose what kind of food to eat. I usually opt for the Ba-Le food since I love their offerings of grab and go spring rolls, or the crispy fried spring rolls. Other choices included Mexican, and local food which is mostly Asian inspired. It's a nice clean space with air conditioning and ample room to stay distanced from others. The bathrooms are nice too. With so many empty stores in this center, parking is a breeze, including many shady spots.

    This place is located in the Maui Marketplace. I like coming here, 4 choices to choose from Fernandos, Bale, Pearl's and L & L BBQ. come hungry because they give big portions. They keep the place nice and clean you always see them cleaning, wiping the tables. That's a plus for me. The bathrooms are always clean and well stocked toilet paper, soap and paper towels.

    Diga folks know there is a little food court in the Maui Marketplace? Yes gang, if you head towards the Sports Authority Sporting Goods Store, just to the left of it is a food court called the - "Kau Kau Market" Food Court. It's a very small food court with just (4) four fast food restaurants - 1. Fernando's (Mexican Food) 2. Bale (Vietnamese) 3. Beach Bum's BBQ Express (BBQ) 4. L&L Hawaiian BBQ (Plate Lunch) Not much to choose from, but I must say the food court was pretty busy today. They also have a public restroom inside, and a tourist brochure stand. I guess since the Maui Marketplace is so close to the airport, if tourist happen to wander into the food court, they can also pick up some useful brochures of Maui, as well a coupons for discounts or free stuff.

    Thank you fellow Oahu Yelper Fran C. for creating this page! We definitely need more Yelpers like you on Maui lol. The Kau Kau Market is the food court of the Maui Marketplace. It's a small, enclosed 4-stall food court tucked away in the west corner of the mall. Seating capacity is acceptable for the amount of traffic they see. Restrooms are conveniently located inside. When the food court first opened, they had 5 stalls total, but now its down to just 4. A defunct Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory used to open up to the food court from a neighboring space but that didn't last too long. The current list includes Bale (Vietnamese/local Hawaii), Fernando's (Mexican), and L&L Hawaiian Barbecue, all of them original tenants from day one. The fourth stall has been occupied and vacated quite a few times, once having been a 50's-style diner serving burgers and shakes, and most recently a failed attempt as a Beach Bums BBQ Express. But, a new, more popular and eatery with really good food is coming in, hopefully sometime in 2016. Pearl's Korean BBQ (same company as Yummy Korean BBQ) is opening a second location on the rock. Ooooh, they're going to steal a lot of biz away from Bale and L&L! Something I've always noticed is that the area is constantly kept clean by their outsourced staff who are constantly sweeping, wiping, and dumping trash. So, because of their incoming addition and constant cleanliness, 4 stars!

    UHMC Pa'ina Food Court is a hidden secret for delicious meals prepared by Chef instructors and up…read moreand coming culinary students! I've been a loyal customer for years and enjoyed (several times I must add) the upstairs dining experience in their Lei's Family Act Restaurant with a delicious pre fixe menu served by students on Wednesdays and Fridays! They rotate the specific cuisine from Italian to French to American. A must try if they have Open Table openings! The food court is usually open between 11-1 pm on Monday-Friday (this may change due to holidays/student schedules) and if you sign up for their emails, you'll be able to see the Specials of the week. I decided to try a Full Plate today with One Portion entree, 2 scoops of Hapa Rice, and a choice of side. The Chinese Steamed Mahi was delicious with 2 pieces cooked with slices of ginger, lup cheong pieces and some cilantro on top for garnish. The potato side salad I chose was delicious and the small container of Kimchee was perfectly seasoned. Not too spicy, just the way I like it. If I could've asked for more sauce on my Mahi and rice, that would've been my only critique. They offer 2 Half portion entrees and also a Mini Plate too. Not to mention, to go sandwiches, salads, fruits, musubi's (today was chicken, hot dog and spam musubi's for $4 each near the register) and a fridge full of drinks and fountain drinks. Grab your food then head to the register to pay. I got my lunch to go so they add $1 extra for to go container. Not bad for $15-16 considering we live in expensive Hawaii lol. The dining area is spacious and roomy if you decide to dine in.

Let's just say there wasn't a single thing on the table I regretted ordering. Everything looked amazing and tasted even better. Honestly, if calories don't count on vacation, I was doing great. Huge shout out to Joe! He kept checking on us to make sure everything was perfect. I told him to surprise me with a drink, and he came back with the Island Magic...and wow, he wasn't kidding. That drink was dangerously good. If I didn't have a flight to catch in an hour, Joe probably would've had me missing my plane! Great food, great drinks, great service, and a clean, welcoming place. What more could you ask for? Tiffany's is officially my #1 must visit spot in Maui. Do yourself a favor come hungry, order the Island Magic, and maybe don't schedule a flight right after......just in case.

I had…read morepretty high expectations for this restaurant and those expectations weren't quite met on some of the dishes. There is a parking lot available, and another lot across the street. Food: We ordered the honey walnut shrimp, miso butterfish, garlic furikake fries, hamachi sashimi, garlic noodles, and crispy chicken. My favorite was the hamachi sashimi. What I enjoyed about this dish was the diced maui onion that offset the citrus from the ponzu. The flavors are light, and refreshing. The most disappointing was the crispy chicken. I thought it was too salty, but that's my preference and salt tolerance. The miso butterfish was also a great dish. The fish was buttery and flavored well. Not too saucy but the perfect amount of sauce. Service: Service is friendly, like most of the restaurants on Maui. The food was served in a timely manner. The ambiance is casual and felt like a bar restaurant. Overall, I'm not sure if I would return. After ordering 6-7 dishes, I wanted to be blown away by at least 4-5 of them, but that wasn't the case. Do yourself a service and try it out at least once if you are curious!
