    Kailua pork
    James T.

    Best mahi mahi and Kailua pork . Fish are fresh . Each time I come back I eat here . It's a food truck area across groceries store . Small parking behind or park across the strip mall and walk over . Lots of other food truck but I have tried other places this by far best

    Hulihuli chicken with Mac salad
    S L.

    You want some dry ass chicken? Then this is your spot. Got 3 incredibly thick pieces of overcooked chicken breast that's barely seasoned. The mac salad was good, the rice was fine, but what terrible chicken. They're also cash only.

    Had the Katsu and a Loco Moco. It was OK, but did not knock our socks off . I guess I just expected a little better for almost $50.

    Teriyaki steak $25 5/2025
    Sabrina S.

    This is the food truck location in Ka'anapali in front of the Hilton and other hotels. Known for their local plates, the guy behind the window suggested the teriyaki steak $25 Definitely good choice and delicious! The steak was juicy and the teriyaki sauce was perfect, not overly salty. I'm all about the sides too and their mac salad was yummy- contained small bits of veggies like red and yellow peppers. Of course a scoop of rice or you have a choice of steamed veggies instead. Cash only

    One of the simpler looking food trucks at the Honoapiilani Food Truck Park, the surfing lizard mascot shows off their Hawaiian meat plates served with Mac salad and rice. We were able to try any 3 of their meats by ordering the Big Kahuna Trio plate and were able to choose vegetables or macaroni salad to go with the rice on the side. It hit the spot for the meat lover! The mahi mahi was cooked nicely and was my favorite of the meats we tried-- meaty but not dry (I don't like my fish flaky!). MT's favorite was the chicken katsu (breaded and fried) which was sauced up with their own version of tonkatsu sauce. The kalbi ribs were very salty and tasted mostly of soy sauce (pass on this one). The furikake rice has a large amount of salt on it too, so it was overall quite a salty meal. As for the veggies, they seemed partially sautéed and partially steamed (soft but a bit buttery as well). Overall, a big and tasty meal with a good variety, but it was on the saltier side. Service was friendly, and they only take cash. Prices are a bit pricey but comparable to the other food trucks in the area. Parking is in the back gravel lot. There are plenty of picnic tables in the area, and the string lights and crowd of people make it a lively scene at night. :)

    Loco moco

    Good loco moco for a food truck! Food was out in a decent amount of time. Hangout at the food trucks was really chill!

    3 meat plate  -Mahi Mahi -Coconut Shrimp  -Huli Huli Chicken

    We absolute LOVED Lahaina Grindz!!! We got this on our first night in Maui just as a quick dinner option so we wouldn't have to worry about reservations, and we can honestly say by the end of the week, the food from Lahaina Grindz was by far our favorite in both taste and value, so much so we cancelled a reservation we had for our last night and went back to Lahaina Grindz instead. The fact we got a 3 meat plate with very generous serving sizes for only $28 each practically blew our mind. We paid WAY more for much less desirable food elsewhere, including highly-rated sit down restaurants. If you're on the hunt for a delicious bang for your buck either for lunch or dinner, this should definitely be on your radar!!!

    Kalbi rib plate & roasted pork plate. So good!
    Danielle P.

    I have been trying to find a spot that served kalbi ribs near my hotel & was lucky to find this food truck spot. My husband and I ordered the kalbi rib plate & roasted pork plate. Both very delicious, lots of flavor & good portions. Staff is very friendly, we waited no longer than 10 min. Happy to have found this spot.

    Big kahuna trio kalua puaa x2 and hulihuli chicken

    Some of the most flavorful food from a food truck I have ever had. Got the Big kahuna trio kalua puaa x2 and hulihuli chicken The grilled kalbi ribs are great also! Got extra rice this time and it the Mac salad but you can't go wrong here.

The appetizers were fresh and so good as well! We've eaten at multiple fancy restaurants while being here on vacation, and none of the food came close to this! We got to enjoy the beautiful sunset and listen to the waves while eating. Our server was so fun and came out multiple times to check on us and fill our drinks. We have already recommended this place to our in laws who are visiting in November and can't wait to return to try some amazing food!

The service was friendly and welcoming as well. Unfortunately, the food didn't quite match the setting for us. Several dishes were overly salty, and the value for the portion sizes was disappointing. For example, five small prawns were $45, and the whole fried fish was $99. The calamari starter was also disappointing. It wasn't fresh calamari, but rather fried calamari strips that seemed like the type that come frozen in a bag. The bruschetta wasn't really bruschetta either. It was more like an open-faced sandwich. At these prices, I expected better quality, preparation, and portion sizes. It's definitely a place where you're paying a premium for the oceanfront view and atmosphere. Beautiful location and friendly service, but the food and overall value fell short for us.

    I have been craving the hurricane Ahi bowl since I came here in 2024. Where else can you get sushi…read moregrade seared tuna, katsu'ed to be crispy, with a delicious sauce? And the best rice with furikake, and then some pretty good macaroni salad? Only here as far as I know? Definitely not where I live in San Diego. The tuna was just as amazing as I remembered. It's easy to walk into the beach bar. And I liked the strawberry salad again, although the strawberries themselves were not that great. The salad is full of fat (nuts, goat cheese, and dressing), but the local lettuce is really good and overall it's a very tasty salad. And you can avoid the fat by getting the dressing on the side and eating around the goat cheese and not eating all the nuts. I was a little disappointed with my 1944 cocktail. It was definitely strong in alcohol content, but the flavor was super muted compared to last time. Decided to order the hula pie because we had a discount card giving us a free one with two entrees, which we had bought anyway. It's a hulking dessert that might be crowd pleasing with a table of kids. It's much too much for one or two people, and not that interesting. I liked the chocolate sauce and the nuts, and that's all I ate. They have this at all of their restaurants, but I wouldn't pay to order it. Anyway, it was a little disappointing after it was one of my top two meals on the last trip. And the hurricane ahi is a must order. but once was enough for this trip!

I ordered their ice cream sandwich-thinking it would be a small cool desert for the island evening. However, I was pleasantly surprised-it was extra large! Feel free to refer to my picture in the review but it was delicious, one of the best I have ever had! My wife enjoyed the burger as well. Service was fantastic!
