Some of the best honey walnut shrimp I've ever had. No exaggeration. Service was friendly and fast, but that honey walnut shrimp was lowkey CRAZY. Crispy, sweet, creamy, and dangerously easy to keep eating. I'm on vacation in Maui and have basically made eating my full-time job, and somehow this is still the best thing I've had so far. That's saying a lot because I've eaten A LOT of stuff already. Definitely coming back one more time before I leave. I need that shrimp again. read more

Had to try Chinese style food in Kihei. It's pretty good , just a tad bit oily on the char siu plate and the beef chow funn. Also the egg roll was probably not homemade. The lady was nice . They spoke Mandarin as well. Had nice music in the background. Very casual outdoor seating. I think we will try the other food items next time. It had a lot of vacationers coming to place orders and also some locals as well. The good thing is that this place the hours are from 1030am-10pm where the other restaurants around the area closes earlier like 8pm. read more

A friend asked what I wanted from King's BBQ. It was my first time trying it. I was happy with the quality and quantity of the food. I liked it enough that we have gone back. It was take out both times and I enjoyed it. It was still hot and very yummy!! read more

They're nice people. Foods good but their Mac salad ahh not that great but I still go there and patronize.

Really good food at decent prices.. Love the way the new manager has cleaned up the restaurant, looks and feels much cleaner and food quality and consistancy has really been great... Definitely will be eating here more often! read more

Authentic Asian-Hawaiian fusion. The portions are massive and two people can easily share one meal.

Food was good! Highlight was the loco moco for us. Big portions for a good price; we split two dishes with the three of us. Mixed plate which has chicken katsu, loco moco with egg, pork and mac salad. And a roast duck plate. The roast duck was a little on the drier side but still enjoyed the flavor. Service was great and quick ; it's a family run business and where the locals likely eat so there was no line compared to next door at Paia fish market. It's also next to a pretty good ice cream spot and lots of shopping and the beach read more

First off the flys in the outside seating tables were so annoying! Little buggers wouldn't leave me alone. Put up a fly trap strip already. Simple order of Teriyaki steak came out extremely slow. Place was not busy at the time. Staff seemed to be wandering around. Beef was good rices was good. Mac salad was bitter. read more

Immediately 1 minute after sitting down we were greeted, and our order was taken within 3 minutes of us getting there. Our food came out in just 10 minutes, and the portions are amazing for the price. 5/5 stars I'd def come again. Food is so good and plates are so heavy you need two hands for hold it. Only like $14-$15 for a big plate too, cannot find that at many places nowadays. read more

Such a great spot! The teriyaki chicken is so good--perfectly cooked, flavorful, and not overly sweet. The honey walnut shrimp was a standout too: crispy, creamy, and just the right balance of sweet and savory. The new owners are incredibly friendly and welcoming, which makes the experience even better. You can tell they really care about the food and the customers. Everything was fresh, portions were generous, and service was quick. We'll definitely be back--highly recommend if you're craving solid Chinese food with great vibes. read more

The mochiko chicken is wet soggy don't think it was ever fried at least not today. The BBQ pork never touched a bbq. Terrible could not enjoy anything except for the store bought fried appetizers. Disgusting! read more

Great food! Open later than most restaurants in the area. Enjoyed it so much, went back the next night and tried a different plate!

What a great find. Unassuming restaurant but huge tasty menu, large portions, good prices, awesome service. We were a party of 22 and they still got our orders out correctly. Small covered tables to eat there but it was a popular choice for take out. Highly recommended for food local food. read more

Soooo good, I ordered the bbq mixed plate that came with steak, chicken, and bbq short ribs and all were incredible. Great service as well. Portion size was huge and differently could split with two people. read more

Huge portion, low price, and alright taste. We stayed around S Kihei so hung out in the area quite a lot and King's was one of the few restaurants that actually opened later. Their foods were mostly below $15 with a variety of options. It was not the best tasting, but at the same time, not bad. The portion was shockingly large lol. Chao Fun was a lot, a little more on a blander side. A solid option is Tonkatsu (can't go wrong with that) which comes with rice and macaroni salad. The couple selling was very efficient and nice. They are a few outdoor settings. All in all, I would not say add King's to your list, but maybe a choice if you have nothing to eat late at night read more

Kings Chinese Barbecue - Seafoodcombo - Chinese Near Me - Kihei, Hawaii

Food is great for the most part Chicken great, rice great, Mac salad great, pork great & duck super dry Don't expect the service to have a smile! It's kinda hard to support a local business when the young lady working makes you feel like it's a burden to serve you. As long as the food you buy doesn't need extra sauce it's fine. As soon as you ask for anything extra she look furious that she has to work and serve you although the food was good I wouldn't come back being treated that way what a shame read more

Has the mom & pop restaurant type of vibes. I did like the variety on their menu though. Plus the food portions were large & the food wasn't bad. Exactly what you'd expect from your typical plate lunch. I put a four star just cause it didn't have that wow factor to make it stand out from the rest. Xoxo, ChelsieFletcher read more

Stopped in for a quick dinner, looked through their extensive menu and decided on the veggie chow mein. It was a huge portion for just $15, with the right balance of veggies and noodles, perfectly seasoned, and I ate it all! The seating area is a bit tired, but who cares? Everybody knows about the Paia Fish Market just 50 yards away, but give Kings a try, you won't regret it! read more

The Kung Pao Chicken is AMAZING! Portions are generous. Nice family owned atmosphere. We had NO issues with flies or chickens as some others have noted. We will definitely be back for more! read more

We came here because Paia Fish Market had an enormous line and ONLY white people eating inside. Kings seemed to cater to more local types. The plate we ordered though was not that great. We got the shrimp and kalbi combo and the shrimp was dry and kalbi was hella thin and on the tougher side. The fried garlic sitting next to the shrimp was delish though, as was the rice and mac salad. If you're thinking of getting bbq from a dive I would recommend doing more research. read more

Good food but beware of the chickens, they will assault you. They will follow you home and you'll dream of the chickens that bothered you during your meal. Don't dine there if you're afraid of feral birds. Do take out instead. read more

Food was awesome. Great plate lunch place. The garlic shrimp was ono. Definitely going to be returning.

Don't even bother with place. Order the crispy wontons only find that they gave me gau gee. Took one bite and spit it out. The meat was all mushy and tasted like crap. Woke up sick the next morning and had to go urgent care cause had a severe rash all over my back stomach and legs. Dr said it was food poisoning and they probably use MSG. Do yourself a favor and don't go here. Update: called the place and the lady was a flat out rude bit*h. Called to let them know what happened and that the urgent care cost $300. Her response was I don't care. My workers eat and they no get sick. So sorry but get lost. Told her I'm contacting the health department. Her response was sorry don't care FU. In addition while my son and I were waiting on our order we watched one work cleaning up the outside trash cans and recycling then walk back into the kitchen and proceed to cook without washing their hands and one worker sitting in the back peeling what looked like onions over a trash can with no gloves and watched reach in there cause he would drop them and pull them out. If you want a terrible meal and possibly get sick then this dump is for you. read more

Great prices for some simple but good food and it is super fast. The cheeseburgers are a good price and are pretty good. I also love their loco moco for a heavier dinner. It's a nice place to go and stop by to get some consistent good dinner. read more

Mistakenly came here thinking this was a western BBQ joint (which is just around the corner) This location is conveniently located across the street from the park and is an easy walk up. There are several other restaurants close by as well. We ordered some typical dishes and the fare was as expected. The Korean short ribs were shorter than usual. They are usually served having three bones. But this establishment was serving them shorter with only two bone lengths. Meaning the expectation fell short versus the cost. The taste was a Kalbi flavored rib. However, I felt there wasn't a pear flavor presence as much as there should be with Kalbi. I may be spoiled in that I marinade my Kalbi at home for at least 24 hours. So flavor really pops. Also I live in the Bay Area, CA where high taste foods are very accessible and expected. The Chicken tasted good and we felt a good quality and quantity. The teriyaki flavor was good and it was well cooked. I think the skin was still on it which added to the yummi-ness. The Beef tasted good. The quantity could have been slightly more but it was fine. I think it was oven cooked versus over a fire which is my preference. It is more cost effective to use the oven tho. The combo dishes are served with two scoops of rice (brown or white) and 1 scoop of macaroni. Thanks for the meal. read more

I love this place. Growing up on chinese take out, a place like this is nostalgic and would be a place i'd eat at at least once a week. The best part about this place is that it's a Hawaiian/Chinese fusion restaurant. The value for your dollar here is unmatched and you'll know it as soon as you are handed your food. The portions are big and will satisfy most appetites. My favorite part is every entree has two scoops of rice and one scoop of mac salad. Yep...mac salad has entered the chat. Having been here several times over several trips to Maui, my favorites is their Kung Pao Chicken and walnut shrimp. I've tried or seen almost everything on their menu when I came here with a large group and our orders spanned most of their menu. While not exactly a quaint physical space, the nearby options to eat all have coastal views. Don't be off put by the appearance. This place is legit. read more

I don't like the service and the food is even worse. There are many other mixed plate bbq or Chinese that are better than this one. I ordered their best so called house fried rice and it was literally the worst fried rice I've had ($14.34 + tip). If a Chinese restaurant can't make an even a half decent fried rice, you better stay far away. No good. read more

Tl;dr the plate lunch here is pretty heavy The combos let you try a lot of different things, but the quality is very meh. I think the Chinese food like chow mein is pretty decent. All the locals I saw eating here were getting that. read more

Food here is authentic and tasty. While the place is a dump, they are timely in producing meals even when busy. Did I mention the picnic table out front for dining?! It's dirty and frequently occupied. We do takeout here, and like it as that alone. Eat your meals elsewhere, pickup is at the door, you don't have to go inside but can see it's also dumpy-looking in there. The takeaway containers are compostable and soak-thru in time so you won't be able to save leftovers in them. Large portions here. read more

We came here on a weekend evening and were served very quickly. I ordered the mini garlic chicken plate and my partner ordered the mini short ribs plate. Food was solid and cooked well. It was fresh and made to order. The garlic chicken had a solid garlic chicken flavor but the only thing it was missing was some veggies. The short ribs were also solid with all the right flavors but the meat was a little hard because it was cooked longer but it was still good. The mini plates were portioned well and the food came out fresh and warm. The seating is mainly picnic style tables and there are at least 5-7 tables but the place has no windows or walls so there were the typical Hawaii bugs around. We still enjoyed our food and appreciate that it seems to be run by a local family who are patient and helpful with their service. Their menu is huge and the prices are very reasonable. I would definitely support them again the next time I am in town. read more

Kings Chinese Barbecue - Kimchi fried rice. DELICIOUS!! - Chinese Near Me - Kihei, Hawaii

Surprisingly good hole in the wall. Like a lot if Chinese carry out places, they have a wide variety of items. Since this place is in Hawaii, there's a number of plate lunch options, sai min, musubi. They also have Chinese fare like wonton soup and char siu with rice. The specials were tonkotsu and miso ramen. We had the tonkotsu ramen and sai min. Both solid, in large portions and reasonably priced. Four of us had dinner with food leftover for $44. read more

Soooo good! Can you go wrong with a Chinese/bbq spot?! I think not. Our favorite was the chicken lo mein- just a solid noodle, flavorful and with a good amount of veg. We also got the walnut shrimp which was ok (I would not order again) and the seafood platter which was fried shrimp, scallops (I think only 2 scallops) and fish. It was yummy. All platters come with rice and macaroni salad. The price is very comparable with the platter portion size for Hawaii. Also the BBQ chicken my family enjoyed. A solid Chinese spot I would recommend. read more
