    Interesting restaurant in Bakersfield. The inside is actually much larger and nicer than you might expect from the outside. The menu is an interesting mix of Vietnamese, Chinese, and local Hawaiian dishes. The service was really friendly and the food was delicious. We were a little concerned as we've found in the past when restaurants mix different cuisines they tend to do each poorly or not as good as places that focus on the individual types. While we only had a couple of dishes, we really enjoyed what we got. We will definitely be back again! Atmosphere: 3/5 Service: 4/5 Food: 4/5 Value: 3/5 Total: 3.5/5 Price: $ Rating Criteria: Based on comparisons to other establishments in the area 1/5: Terrible, would not recommend 2/5: Might be worth it depending on price and other factors. 3/5: Solid option. Average in this category for the area. 4/5: Above average and excels in this area. 5/5: Excellent, needs no improvement Pricing Criteria: Based on what we spent $: $0 - $50 per person $$: $50 - $100 per person $$$: $100 - $200 per person $$$$: $200 - $500 per person $$$$$: $500+ per person Please be mindful that reviews are based on personal experience which may differ from person to person based upon a multitude of factors (individual/specific workers, time of day, personal preferences, etc). Pricing may also differ and is reflected here based on what we paid for our meal. We typically enjoy multiple courses with our meals including appetizers, salads, entrees, desserts, and sometimes drinks or tasting menus when available. Please do your own research if concerned about potential pricing.

    My husband and I tried this place for the first time with family and we had an amazing experience! The wait was a bit long but worth the wait. We started off with the Pu Pu Platter appetizer and ordered 2 combo meals, everything was delicious! Food was brought out fast as well. We had dinner with a show! We happened to come on the a last Wednesday of the month where they do live performances, so fun!

    The food was great, the service was excellent, and it's nice inside. We really enjoyed our lunch and we had lots of leftovers. There were lots of families eating there i'm guessing they have great kids menu.. Their lunch specials are affordable and you have plenty of leftovers for later.

    Maui Pho never disappoints. Even when they're busy, the service is efficient. Everything I've ordered has been delicious, and they have filling lunch specials. The staff is friendly, but busy so you have to sometimes we have to wave them down for help. It's the kind of place you can count on for consistently great food. I highly recommend giving it a try if you're in Bakersfield!

    String bean chicken

    Love the new location. Haven't been here since the move. Way more elegant than the old place. I really didn't like the "check yourself in" process. Takes away the initial human touch first experience. The menu was extensive. So many things I could not decide. We ordered a pu pu platter so we could try a little bit of everything. Hubby was undecided over the Volcano and Maui Fried Rice. I had a long list of things I wanted to try. I settled on string beans and chicken. He decided on Maui Fried Rice and a guava lemonade (I think. Could have been Mango iced tea). Everything on the Pu Pu Plater was good. I tasted everything and would order everything again. Hubby said the fried rice gave his all time favorite place a "run for the money". He was very pleased with his dish. Now for my dish. . . the green beans were still very hard and the dish overall lacked flavor. Not sure I'd order that again. But that's not stopping me from going back. The server was super nice, friendly, and funny. Really enjoyed her. We ordered a wor won ton soup to go (for my son). He was hesitant at first because of all the vegetables but he really liked the flavor and texture of the won tons.

    I came with a party of 8 on a weekday for lunch. The interior was very colorful and welcoming. The food took a while to come out. But the portion sizes were quite large, especially for the pho. I ordered the special pho, which had a generous amount of meat. I also ordered the Vietnamese coffee which tasted slightly watered down compared to other places I've had it. Overall, we had a great experience and will return for more!

    We love Amy!

    This place is Fire! Everything I have tried here is delicious. Amy, our server is adorable and friendly. Service is impeccable. The place is clean with comfortable seating. I crave the food here all the time. If you come on Wednesdays, they have hula dancers, I have missed it each visit. Hopefully, I will be in Bakersfield on a Wednesday soon! 1/29/26

    Came here for dinner, glad we did. A quick dinner turned into a date night as we ordered some refreshing drinks. The service was great, and quick. The lighting was nice, not too bright. The food was hot, fresh, and plenty to take home for that midnight snack lol

    Vegetable Chow Mein
    Sharon E.

    Enjoyed a wonderful dinner at Maui Pho Fusion BBQ Grill. I have eaten here before but it was my husband and daughter's first time. We arrived and were seated quickly. Our server took our drink order right away, which was a nice start. My daughter and I shared the pupu platter along with an order of vegetable chow mein, and my husband ordered the Szechuan tofu. Everything tasted great, and the portion sizes were very generous, definitely enough to share. The flavors were on point and the food came out hot and fresh. My husband commented on the crisp texture of the tofu, which doesn't always happen when eating tofu. The wait staff was a little slow at times, but overall it didn't take away from the quality of the food or the experience. We left full and happy and would absolutely come back to try more items on the menu.

    The food was delicious! Authentic Chinese wok taste with Hawaiian fusion flavor. Enjoyed every dish! Beautiful presentation and wonderful flavors.

    We ordered the pu pu platter, which had a lot of variety--skewers, potstickers, rangoons, and more. It was definitely enough food for two people, and we even had leftovers. We also ordered an extra order of chicken skewers that were made differently or had a different sauce, and those were way better than the ones on the platter. My kids ordered the chili wontons, and those were amazing--hands down a favorite at the table. Overall, all the food was good. The main downside was the service timing. Everything came out at different times, which wasn't ideal, and it seemed like there wasn't one dedicated server for the entire place. Every table was full, and it felt pretty hectic. I've been here before and usually have a very good experience, so I'm hoping they're able to provide more help for the servers because the food itself is solid. There was also plenty of seating available.

    Kuma Sushi was a pleasant surprise. The ambiance is contemporary with a unique feel. The space is…read moreopen and airy, making it comfortable and inviting. One thing I noticed was the mix of different tables and chairs throughout the restaurant. It almost feels like a hodgepodge of furniture, but somehow it works and fits the contemporary vibe rather than feeling out of place. The food was excellent, the service was friendly, and the prices were very reasonable. We received our food surprisingly fast, which was a nice bonus. There was a mistake with one of our rolls, but the staff handled it well. They quickly remade the roll and brought us a replacement at no charge, which I really appreciated. One of the highlights was a custom roll with jalapeño, avocado, and asparagus. I added cream cheese and had it deep fried, and it honestly tasted like a sushi version of a jalapeño popper. It was absolutely amazing and something I would order again in a heartbeat. Overall, it was a great experience from start to finish. Good food, good service, reasonable prices, and a unique atmosphere. I would definitely recommend giving Kuma Sushi a try.

    Had ordered from the restaurant before on DoorDash and this time I decided to pop in. I was…read morepleasantly surprised at how cute the space is. The parking is a bit of a challenge right now due to the construction in downtown. However, there is a lot right next to them that you can park in and there is also parking on the street directly in front of their door. The restaurant is modern and decorated in Asian theme. The bathroom and the restaurant is very clean. And the staff was very attentive, professional, and very pleasant. I enjoyed the food I ordered via DoorDash, but this time I got it fresh right out of the kitchen and the counter, and it was amazing. We started with the jalapeño bomb, and mixed tempura in a size small. Both those appetizers were delicious and perfect for sharing. Then we ordered a California roll on soy paper, the Kuma special sushi roll, and the creamy salmon roll. Everything was fresh and very shareable. We could've easily shared our meal with two other people needless to say we had leftovers to take home. I definitely recommend this place and I look forward to going back. There are other things on the menu such as fried rice, udon, and teriyaki plates. They also had a couple of desserts, so I am definitely planning on trying one of those. Enjoy!
