    ~Food Truck Review~ I Rolled up Friday night just as they were starting to close. The bright twinkling lights had caught my attention in the closed gas station parking. The braddah at the counter looked wiped but still greeted me with aloha and offered to make me food anyway....major points for that kind of kindness. I ordered the Hamachi with jalapeño sushi and wow... beautiful presentation, super fresh fish, and the veggies had that perfect crunch. Service was grab-and-go, but no complaints, it was almost midnight and still tasted like something you'd get at a full-service spot. Fresh, flavorful, and full of aloha. I'll definitely be back earlier next time! Mahaloz

    We came back to try more items on the menu. The bento includes your choice of protein, California roll, yaki soba, and Caesar salad. The tried the teriyaki ahi bento. The ahi was on the dry side but was tasty. We also tried the Okinawa rafute pork. It was really good! It came with rice, yaki soba, and mac salad. My favorite was the Calamansi lemonade. It reminded me of the shikwasa drink in Okinawa.

    上手!めちゃくちゃ美味しいね!ありがとうございます! The Yakisoba and gyoza was delicious. Thank you for the quick service and always being open.

    Bro. Best food truck around! The food is freshly made each and every time! We got poke bowl and beef bowl. Both a little pricy but so worth it. The service takes a bit longer but we get to enjoy the Hawaiian sun so it was cool. It's in an old gas station with other food trucks so it can get busy.

    Chirashi bowl and small Arizona
    Lawrence S.

    The food was good. It was a good chirashi bowl. It had 1 piece of yellow fin , ahi , shrimp, bbq eel, tomago, seaweed salad and flying fish roe over sushi rice and it comes with a bowl of miso soup. There was only one piece of each fish. The fish was fresh. I just feel like there was more filler than fish. With the small can of Arizona it came to around $30 so that is why I didn't give five stars. The miso soup was very good tasted homemade. The service was good. I will definitely be going back to try some other menu items. The ambiance well it's a food truck in an old gas station. So that's why I didn't go 5 stars I feel like the pricing was a little high for a lot of rice and seafood salad and about 5 pieces of fish and a small Arizona.

    Tonkatsu ramen.

    It's a cool breezy spot to get a pretty authentic Japanese meal. Went and ate there twice in one day! Tonkatsu was a creamy buttery goodness with flavored egg and tender pork. Sushi was freshly made with lots of yumminess...very filling too!

    Avocado and cream cheese deep fried rolls and rainbow roll.

    AMAZING SUSHI!! We wanted some deep fried rolls and couldn't find anywhere in the island that did it. We called ahead and they were so nice to do our request for us, even though it was not on the menu, the workers were so so kind and nice. Absolutely loved the rolls, some of the best sushi we have had. If you like sushi, YOU NEED TO COME CHECK THIS PLACE OUT!

    Cute little food truck

    We tried the chirashidon and braised pork. Both were really good, very flavorful. The fish in the chirashidon was very tender and really fresh, and the unagi was the best I've ever tried so far. The service was friendly and quick. The area is where the food trucks are by the old gas station at the corner of Dairy road and Alamaha. So the ambiance is very casual.

    Delicious food, convenient location on Dairy Road, and nice hours! Black garlic ramen is delicious and my favorite is the takoyaki. The sushi is great. There is close parking and sit down eating is available. They have a pretty good variety of food items and drinks. Customer service is great every time. I usually call the order ahead if it might be busy around lunch time. Food is consistently good and I'm so thankful for their late hours, especially for Maui. Late night sushi and ramen? Right on!

    My fiancée and I were here on Maui for the weekend I have to say quality and taste was a 5 star. We ordered the spicy ahi roll, shrimp tempura roll and hamachi roll. Definitely our go to for sushi!

    Lono Blue is a hole in the wall run by the staff of a catering company. I was curious to try it because of their extensive menu. I tried the gyudon beef bowl, Sunday bento with mahi mahi, Okinawa pork belly, Japanese chilled ramen, housemade pork hash, futomaki, housemade kimichi, and tamago nigiri. Overall, I thought the quality of the food was subpar. I didn't enjoy any of the dishes except the housemade kimichi to be honest.

    Takoyaki
    Chelsea R.

    I literally had to stop in the middle of my meal to write this review because their food is that delicious. Lono Blue Kitchen is definitely worth the wait. I do recommend bringing patience with you though since it is evident that this is a pure small business. It appeared when we went that there was one person manning the kitchen and the front. Staff was clear about wait times though and that they check availability on certain items. For ambiance, there isn't a ton of seating available and it is open air. If you want to sit and dine, you may have to wait if another party is there already. There is street parking available so keep your eyes peeled when you're looking for a spot. Everything is seasoned so well. And the flavor profile that you're expecting with dishes like the takoyaki are delivered-which definitely makes the taste buds happy. Our katsu was crispy and didn't feel greasy.

    Amazing Japanese food. The katsu curry is great! The braised pork belly is also a winner! Oh and the lemon salmon sushi was really good!

    Hadn't eaten here since the new owners took over, but was hearing good reviews…read more Entering the restaurant, the front door is still difficult to open. I helped an elderly woman who was struggling with it. They gotta get the door springs loosened up The server brought us miso soup right after we sat down. That was a pleasant surprise. However, it was just the bowl of soup, not including the traditional cover with green onion on top. The soup was very good, not too strong and served at the proper temperature. The previous owners served it scalding hot. I could not eat it for several minutes unless I put some ice cubes in it. Also, no salted cabbage was served, unlike the past. I ordered the Teishoku A with teriyaki pork, sashimi, vegetable tempura and shrimp tempura. As my photo shows, it was well presented. The sashimi was very good quality with 3 thick slices. The teri pork was great. Not too salty, as was the case in the past. The pork was cut to a good thickness, not paper thin, and no gristle. Big scoop of rice. The veggie tempura was huge! The shrimp tempura was about the same size as in the past. The tempura batter was cooked perfectly. Crisp, light and no bad, old oil taste, as happened with the previous owner. It was very much hit or miss. You just hoped the day you went they used fresh oil. If not, yuck . The price was $25.99, I believe the least expensive of the Teishoku choices. My friend had the spare ribs. He said it was good and as the photo shows, it was a generous portion. Unfortunately, I forgot to take photos of the menu, but as I recall, most plate lunches run in the high teens to low 20's. The Teishoku trays start in the mid 20's and run up to the high 20's. I believe the ala carte entrees run from the high teens to high 20's. Overall, great service and the taste and quality of the food might be the best I've ever had there in the 40+ years I've patronized the restaurant.

Most known for their Teishoku (Set Meal) Trays that include Rice and Miso Soup. I got my favorite, Teishoku B which includes Teriyaki Steak, Shrimp & Vegetable Tempura, and a few slices of Ahi Sashimi. I wanted my steak Medium Well and it was perfectly done and the teriyaki sauce was a good balance of tangy and sweet. Pour a few drops of Shoyu on the Sashimi and dip it in the Hot Mustard sauce in the middle of the tray. The star of my tray is the Shrimp and Vegetable Tempura. They fillet the shrimp so it was a HUGE shrimp tempura piece along with strands of carrots in tempura batter, tempura asparagus and a tempura eggplant. It was so crispy and tasty. I've been to Japan and this is Japan level tempura and the best on Maui, hands down. I came around 1 pm and they close at 1:30 pm and I got my order in 5 minutes with maybe 4-5 parties seated around me. The aunties were attentive and helpful. Make sure to visit this hidden Japanese gem for lunch or dinner!

I really love katsu, so I got the Pork Katsu plate, which comes with a scoop of rice and your choice of side (I chose potato salad). I loved the crispiness of the pork katsu, it came nice and hot. The Japanese rice was carb heavy, just how I love it. The potato salad was good, although I typically crave a macaroni salad with my Hawaiian plated food. There was a huge line when I arrived, and I was afraid, very afraid. However, it was a bunch of people standing around who had already ordered (another sometimes bad sign). But, I actually ordered without any line, and those people quickly dissipated. My food probably came within 10 mins. In that 10 mins, we ate the poke first, then got our Ichiban order quickly after. The two restaurants are so close together by driving, that I would highly recommend pairing the two restaurants together, if you want to share food items, and try different Hawaiian things, without making an extra trek. Would definitely recommend it right after getting off the airplane too! I can't say it was worth driving here all the way from Kaanapali though, since there's nowhere to sit down. There's a parking lot right at the restaurant itself, and it's just to-go, but you are allowed to eat in the parking lot. So can't really say much about ambiance. The service was quick though, and credit card was allowed. Not bad.
