Chairs, tables, tents for eating
Jo Y.

Late Sunday afternoon and evening make Kahului, Maui a sleeper town, as businesses shut down for the weekend. The Maui Sunday Market in Kahului takes its place, with some 40 food trucks parked in one area from 4p to 8p in providing food and entertainment for those seeking a meal when everything else in the town is closed. Sponsored by the Maui Food Technology Center, this non-profit organization educates and creates opportunities for entrepreneurs seeking to earn a living via value-added products and/or cultural practices and environmental sustainability. As such, the Sunday Market was started in July 2018 to help stimulate and revitalize the Kahului community by allowing local residents and tourists to gather each week to share stories and experiences. Being that this was its 4th anniversary, we looked forward to eating from the food trucks, listening to local music entertainment of Leo Kani and Inside Out, and playing bingo. We decided to go early at 4p to find close parking and avoid the crowds, which I'm glad we did; however, the hot afternoon sun made it uncomfortable to stick around, despite having picnic tables under shaded tents. As we walked around the perimeter of the food trucks to decide what we would get, we decided on the following and took them home to eat: * Grilled chicken on garlic noodles (Al's BBQ Pit). Great garlicky noodles with tasty grilled chicken. * Hot dog with mango and spicy onion sauce (Sumo Dogs Maui). A good-sized 10-inch hot dog in a soft, sweet brioche bun pushed in from the top. The sauce was a little too sweet for the hot dog, as we would have preferred the normal mustard, ketchup, onions, and relish. * Poke (Mau Mau'z Kau Kau). Spicy poke over salad greens with sliced cucumbers, avocado, green onions, round onions, fried onions, and sesame seeds, drizzled with a spicy sauce. There was no way we could have tried all the food trucks, as it would require numerous visits to try each one. There was a good variety of food trucks and booths selling various items that included: * Shaka Tacos * Bring Um Out Grindz (pineapple boats, hula plates, shrimp, fries, desserts) * Pastele House * Sweet Cravings * Yellow Belly (hot dogs, nachos, lemonade) * Gianna's Baked Goods (granola, energy bars, cookies, mochi, party mix) * Cactus vendor * Maui Mui Grindz (local plates lunches) * Jewelry vendor * Flippin Out Maui (Filipino foods) * Take It Icy (ice cream, shave ice) * Li hing snack vendor * Holo Holo Garlic Noodles * Hawaiian souvenirs * Saszdcreations (handbags) * Taste of Aloha * Yumtastic (iced treats, stuffed strawberries, beverages, cotton candy, apples, funnel cakes, truffles) * HI Freeze Treats (freeze dried candies) * Dish scrubbies and head bands vendor Note that not all vendors are permanent, as some come and go, with new vendors also starting their businesses. We found the owners and staff of these food trucks and vendors to be very friendly, attentive, and eager to please. Now located on Hana Hwy (starting from 7/10/22) in a large private parking lot that formerly housed 24 Hour Fitness in Kahului, there is free admission and free parking. What a great way to spend a Sunday afternoon in seeing what these food trucks and vendors have to offer. This is a good way to support local businesses, as well as to get some needed grub and shopping items on a Sunday evening when most other businesses are closed. We look forward in returning to try the different vendors at this Maui Sunday Market the next time we're back in Maui!

Wow, a year makes a huge difference... Quality/Quantity - This place was hopping last year, so we went out of our way to come back this year. We really came here for the mochi by Honey and Me, but they were not here. :( Probably less than half the vendors from last year. Food trucks. Local vendors. My daughter bought a bunch of gifts from "ShopDaAbilays"; not sure if he raised the prices after we left because his items are ridiculously affordable! Support the locals. Atmosphere - Plenty of free parking, last year it was really hard to get a parking space; so I guess it depends on how thriving this place is when you come. DJ was blasting his music, am I getting old? It was way too loud for me. Service - 6 stars, everyone is so friendly, and probably sadly hurting for customers. Price - Affordable. Owner Comment - Congrats on your success and bringing the community together. I suggest re-sparking this venue.

Hawai`i is all about community and you can feel it at the Maui Sunday Market this evening as it truly is the place "Where Our Community Gathers Each Sunday". Locals supporting other local businesses and welcoming of all. We made sure to do our part making a dinner and more starting with Garlic Noodles with Chicken at Holoholo Garlic Noodles , Pastele Panadeja Combo at Pastele House, poi mochi dessert from Dee's Poi Mochi and Molokai Hot Bread for tomorrow's breakfast at Molokai Hot Bread where Kalani Pe`a also stopped by that day. Only in Hawai`i would you be buying bread with a two time Grammy Winner. Make sure the next time you are on island, get away from the resorts and beaches and get to know the people, as that is what truly makes Maui special. Above all else, treat them with respect and you will feel that aloha in return tenfold.

The Maui Sunday Market, where the food is delicious, the crafts are irresistible, and the entertainment is as local as your neighbor's ukulele practice. With free parking and only minutes from home, it's almost too easy to have a great time. Come for the goodies, stay for the grooves, and leave with a car full of treasures and a heart full of aloha!

I come here every so often. We try to visit different vendors and support a lot of food trucks. It's on Sundays we usually are there by 4 and everyone is set and ready to go. This place can get packed fast and certain vendors run out of certain things if you don't get there fast. Everyone is usually friendly. Please don't forget your mask and practice social distancing. Take your food home and eat there. As to where they don't have the Picnic tables. You can find all kinds of food trucks selling varieties of different food. Support local. Come here and try cream b mochi they have the best stuffed mochi ever. I'm so hooked on that. I usually buy 3 packs and that goes fast.

The Maui Sunday market is located very close to the Maui Mall just across the street from the HoAloha Park. There is ample parking and porta potties with hand wash station located at the far end. They feature many food trucks and local arts and crafts. It's a great place to wander around and check out the different food options. There's also covered dining area to sit and enjoy your food and listen to Live entertainment. Maui is trying to be eco-friendly and switch from styrofoam containers to compostable paper containers. Unlike Oahu where 100% of trash is burned for energy, it is my understanding that Maui still uses landfill for their trash. Good job Maui! On this particular trip, I tried the garlic shrimp platter from Al's BBQ Pit. It was $10 and it was a decent portion of shrimp and I asked for extra garlic on the rice. Delicious! Definitely recommended to check out the Maui Sunday market for lunch.

We were in town so decided to check out the Sunday market. Lots of parking on east & west sides of Market. There was a big crowd but everyone was masked & being courteous about social distancing. There were about 10-12 food booths/food trucks. And quite a few booths selling lots of interesting items. Was a fun way to spend part of a Sunday evening. Had a dj playing music also. No tables or area to sit and eat so is a takeout and find a beach to eat at experience.

Picture it. Kahului, pre-2018. Sunday night. You're hungry. The majority of restaurants are closed. Your choices? Fast food or Zippy's. Sad. Now picture it. Kahului, July 2018. The lovely folks of the Maui Food Technology Center, a non-profit organization that brings together local farmers, students and entrepreneurs with the food industry, has started the Maui Sunday Market. Like its name implies, it happens every Sunday from 4pm - 8pm at the Kahului Shopping Center's parking lot fronting Kaahumanu Avenue. Entry is free and parking is plentiful. ATMOSPHERE: There were four rows of food trucks, food stands and vendors of all sorts. A small, covered seating area is available though seating was at a premium. Entertainment changes weekly, I believe. Unfortunately (for me and my gang) there is no beer garden. I arrived around 6:15pm and it wasn't too crowded, though I had a good 30-minute wait at the food truck I tried. FOOD TRUCKS & STANDS: I'm not sure if the vendors rotate but I read in the paper that there's a wait list for food trucks that want in on the action. Here's a list of the options when I went on October 21, 2018: - Al's BBQ Pit - Pele's Pizza - Dope BBQ - Ohana Tropical Ice - Grandpa Joe's (cotton candy) - Just Put In (poutine) - Cream B? (rolled ice cream) - Z-Man's Kitchen (Mediterranean) - Da Nani Pirates (fish & chips, burgers) - Pastele House - Shorebreak Grindz (garlic noodles) - Crepes d'Amour - Big Beach BBQ - Humbowl Wagon (açaí) - DeRay's (poi mochi) - Maui Freeze - Frenchy's (sandwiches) - Only Ono (Chinese bbq) - Like Pokē - Hawaiian Mamaki Tea OVERALL: What a terrific idea to give residents (and tourists) more dining and entertainment options since the two malls in the area refuse to do so.

Every Sunday evening I run into the dilemma of figuring out what I want to eat for dinner. The mall closes early, most food trucks are closed, and many restaurants are closed as well. Maui Sunday Market to the rescue! An effort of the Maui Food Technology Center & their many volunteers, the market brings together a collective of food trucks, crafters, artisans, food purveyors, & entertainers breathing new life to Kahului Shopping Center's parking lot fronting Ka'ahumanu Avenue. This weekly event is free and open to the public on Sundays from 4 pm - 8 pm; a prime opportunity to support local businesses for not only Maui folks, but for visitors coming from the cruise ships that dock in the nearby harbor. They initially launched on July 22nd, but I had previous engagements at the time and was bummed I didn't make it. Unfortunately for me, comedian Jo Koy apparently made an appearance there! Since then, they've grown the amount of vendors and offerings. I finally went last week and was surprised to see SO many food trucks/tents. They have it set-up with tents in the middle where you'll find different vendors and the food trucks surround the tents. In the middle of it all are tables where you can sit, eat, & watch the entertainment. I can think of at least 12 food trucks off the top of my head that was there. I went to 5 of them that night 'cause that's how I roll... Dope BBQ, Pastele House, Only Ono BBQ, Cream B, & Shorebreak Grindz. Everything I had was exceptional and I will definitely be coming back for more. I love how I have so many choices in one spot in a centralized location just minutes from where I live. I'm sure there will be more variety in the future as different food trucks get into the rotation. There were also other vendors with crafts, drinks, food, doing massages, etc. One vendor (I can't remember the name) had different flavored chocolate spreads that were incredibly delicious. Surprisingly, it was vegan, super healthy, etc. etc. Normal stuff that isn't really my jam, but man this stuff was legit. I can't wait to check out more small businesses next time around! What a great opportunity to support local! All in all, we spent about 1 1/2 hours there. Initially it wasn't too busy when we got there, but as the sun went down the crowd grew. Near "closing time" the lines were still going strong. Some food trucks sold out of things, so get there early if you have a particular truck or dish in mind!

I bought the pink quarts one.... A lot of great novelty items from Hawaii had A-blast.
