VHS playing during dinner
Andee S.

Our dinner at My Thai Maui might be my favorite restaurant meal ever. The atmosphere the owners created is fantastic and retro. We were surrounded by vhs tapes, some Star Trek playing, and trinkets from the 80s we could try out. We spent the first part of dinner asking each other trivia questions from 80s trivial pursuit! We got the Panaang curry, pad thai, and mango sticky rice- all of which were delicious. This is unfortunately our last night on Maui, or else we would be back. Pay special attention to online menu items as the descriptions are as entertaining as the restaurant. My personal recommendation is to rent the magic eye book. It kept my boyfriend and I entertained for a while. Mahalo new friends! Thank you for the best dinner!

A verylong overdue review as it was one of the last stops I visited on my short trip. This place felt like I was in a fever dream, honestly! My group was in absolute chaos figuring out how to order here. First, you enter in what seems to be an outdoor patio space, like out of a warehouse/ garage. After some stares from the patrons dining and NO help, we found out ourselves you're supposed to order at the tables with a QR code. The owner, from what I remember, had a great sense of humor and seemed to try to get to know his guests that dined at least. Orders were called out on a speaker, and everything is all self serve (water, cups, utensils). We ordered a Pad See Ew, Pad Thai, Tom Yum Soup, and to drink, Thai Tea. The dishes were all mild in flavor, with nothing in particular standing out, besides the overall atmosphere of this bizarre restaurant. Some may adore the space, others may bash on it, and some people will have mixed reviews like me! I got quite scared using the restroom alone and a door in the back was open too, just fyi! It was a quite eerie experience, but you won't ever find a restaurant like this anywhere else!

Reunited with the most authentic and "broke da mouth" Thai food...ever!!! We always make it a point to come straight here as soon as we jump in the rental car from OGG! Our faves, Papaya Salad (mild/medium), Pork Larb (mild/medium), and Mango Sticky Rice, which we inhaled!) I'm an 80s kid, so I appreciated seeing all the nostalgic movies and posters throughout. Thank you My Thai Maui for the wonderful hospitality always. CHEERS and happy eating till next time...

Crab fried rice wS perfection
Marion L.

This sweet and sour chicken had a unique batter similar to hawaiian mochiko but airy and light. The noodles were cooked to perfection with a hint of sweetness. The vegan gave a nice crunch. The crab fried rice was cooked to perfection. I had a thai tea and I enjoyed that as well. Overall very good. Our hostess gave us a complimentary mango and sticky rice.

Pad Thai with soft shell crab

Even if you're just here for takeout, enjoy the quirkiness that is My Thai Maui, especially if you're an 80s baby looking for a good throwback moment. The owner seems to be a wacky guy but that just made the experience more entertaining. We were just here for takeout - the dining room is the garage next to the main "desk" where you can check in, or get your food from mobile takeout. Go to their website to order. He claimed it would be out faster than a Taco Bell takeout, and it was close, in 7 minutes we got our pad thai and fried rice like magic while my kids entertained themselves with the old computer alien games and yoda robot in the window. Want to see a boom box and type on a first gen keyboard, kids? Right there too. The dining room had more of this quirky 80s paraphernalia, so definitely a history museum alongside yummy food. Also, it's right next to the airport so a great place to get food before your flight. Food: Pad Thai with soft shell crab - SO GOOD. The pad thai is authentic with tamarind sauce, not the ketchupy mess that most places serve. The soft shell crab was perfectly fried up with roe that mixed in with the noodles. Overall, super tasty and huge portion. Lobster fried rice - also very good and again, huge portion.

The food was amazing! Everything we ordered was delicious and came in big portions. We were given complimentary water after we sat down which was a nice surprise. We ordered Summer Rolls and the Orange Chicken Bao. They were filling and tasty. The Summer Rolls were huge! We could only finish one of them. We also had the Mixed vegetables and added chicken. That was a big portion as well and we ate half of it. We ordered rice and we barely ate that. There weren't too many people dining in so the owner talked to us and shared the history of their business. He was really nice and gave us more ice tea as well as complimentary mango and sticky rice dessert. The mango was from their tree. It was SO Yummy! We enjoyed the whole experience! It's not a typical restaurant. You order and pay for your food through the QR code and he will announce on the microphone when your order is ready with some added humor. Loved that. Your food comes out in a paper bag and to go containers. If you decide to stay and eat there are paper products for you to use. We enjoyed the music playing, breeze coming in from outside and the overall ambiance. Our first time but not last. We came home with a bag full of leftovers. Our bellies were happy. Definitely recommend this restaurant not just for the food but for the service. Go and support this family business when in Kahului! Must must try. Definitely 5+ stars!

Chicken pad Thai

All ordering is handled online, but the seating area is pleasant and clean! We enjoyed our pad Thai and bao buns. There was a gluten free option for pad Thai which was appreciated. We were brought a dessert sample which was lovely. Thank you!

Dining area of eatery

Should you decide to venture here and try the Thai food, I will say that it's tasty and the potions are generous. Apart from the unconventional style of a sit down restaurant, the entrance to this eatery has windows with signs of instructions for it's patrons as a greeting. A large door marked restroom, let's guest know, that you need to look further to locate the tables and chairs adjacent. There, you can scan the menu on the QR code and order the food from your phone. We noticed that additional items are available for a fee, such as ...soy sauce, prik nam pla, limes, etc. Although a bit peculiar and cumbersome to those who are unfamiliar with the lack of ordering from a wait staff, this can be a fun challenge for you, as there is nobody there to help with your order. Once you have selected the item of choice and wait for the sound over the loudspeaker system to announce your name and food choice, you will head to the last window in the back of the eatery and collect your food. Given the choices available for dining options in the area, this Thai eatery is a good bet. Located across the car dealership in a stripmall and near the main road. It's an easy find by car. VCR video tapes, and movie posters adorn the walls along with the Thai and Honolulu posters. Giving it a whimsical motif. The garage door entrance, allows the natural light and elements to be enjoyed while dining. The portion of the food is generous and tasty . Which encourages you to return again. A big thank you to the family and staff of this eatery. I certainly discovered what it's like to be here and found it memorable.

Tofu pad Thai
Molly L.

We came here on a weekday and you have to check in outside in the front before grabbing a table. We checked in with who seems like the owner and he was gracious with his customers. My partner and I ordered separately on our phones using the QR code separately and when we received our orders they were both in the same bag. My partner ordered the garlic noodles with the orange chicken. The garlic noodles had a lot of sesame oil and the chicken was on the tougher side - not crunchy and not much flavor either. The pad Thai with tofu was pretty good, but the sauce was overpowering yet not as nuanced as I'm used to for pad Thai. There was a lot of lime and sugar, but not much other stuff. After tip, the garlic noodles was $29 and the tofu was $25, which is on the pricey side for Thai food that is self-serve in to-go containers. I think the business can work on more eco friendly ways of serving their food. Everyone seemed to be eating there so they definitely didn't need a brown bag that the food was packed in to everyone. So I would not serve the food in a bag and just have folks come up and ask if they need a bag. Also, they don't have paper cups for water, but we are given small water bottles per guest upon entering (not nearly enough for those who like water).. And the utensils are also plastic too, so as of now there is a lot of waste and plastic in their operations and not really eco friendly as some of the descriptions online state. I had checked the box for taking a survey to receive a free dessert but the link wasn't working for us. It's also a bit weird to get compensated with food for taking a survey, so I probably shouldn't have checked that box, and don't really agree that should be a thing. Overall, the food is good and it's great that they are a mom and pop shop running this operation in a garage-like structure. But the prices are on the higher side and they can work on at least the couple of dishes that we had as well as on being actually eco friendly. Not sure I would return.

I absolutely love this place and have been coming here for years. My family and I have a place here in Maui and every time we visit we always make sure to save a spot in our trips to come here. We've also been to Thailand and it's safe to say the food is exactly the same if not better. The family owning this restaurant is also so sweet and the owner Nong was so nice. She was willing to make small talk with us while we ate and was on top of everything, so special shoutout to her :) The interior was also so beautifully put together. It's a mix of Thai culture while also acting as an homage to the 80s while still flowing together seamlessly and cleanly. I also recommend the Khao Soi it's absolutely delicious. Anyways if you're on the island definitely give this place a try you won't regret it.

HOW is there Thai Coffee or Thai tea?

The Thai Tea was great!

How do I contact someone about our recent order?

Not possible...we had the same issue...have to go there in person. Incredibly frustrating. Check your order before you leave if doing take out. No way to reach anyone by phone!

Is the restaurant open or is it still no contact and in the garage setting?

Open indoors and garage

Can I bring my own bottle of wine (BYOB)?

Yes you can! You may be asked to show valid ID if you are drinking. Beer & Wine only. No hard alcohol.

Was the discount meant to be 1%, or is that a typo?

Aloha Naomi, Thanks for messaging us! We do not have outdoor seating though we do have an open air…

We've been coming here for years and I've always enjoyed my experiences here, but last night I had a dish that compelled me to write a review. The oxtail soup which is listed as a favorite is a dish I've been eyeing for a while, but it's usually been too warm for me to crave it. But last night was the night. I'm getting over a cold and it's been raining off and on for weeks. The bowl arrived at the table with a plate underneath - smart move because it takes some work to eat oxtail soup. Armed with my fork and spoon, I went at it. The first taste floored me. It was perfectly seasoned and I could taste the fresh ginger, the broth was a beautiful brown color, there was plenty of napa cabbage and it came with a dish of a scoop of glossy steamed rice and steamed carrots, zucchini and broccoli. Our waitress offered to bring over condiments so I went for the soy sauce - sprinkled on the rice and veggies, I noticed that the veggies might have had a little sesame oil flavor on them so that made me happy. A spoonful of rice dunked into the broth with some of the tender fall of the bone oxtail meat, and a little crunch of the napa cabbage and I was in absolute heaven. I tasted my husband's pork adobo and that was equally as delicious as always. But that soup - that's what really did it for me last night and stays with me today. I walked out of Tante's with a swollen and happy belly and a fresh, tiny piece of ginger stuck between my teeth...a treat for later.

I feel like Like Poke was one of the original food trucks on Maui -- long before food trucks…read morestarted popping up everywhere. They've been part of the island's food scene for over 12 years now, and I still remember their off-the-beaten-path spot on Hobron Avenue in Kahului. You would have never guessed there was delicious food being served up there, but those who knew, knew. These days, you can find them in Kahului parked at Da Tambayan Corner on Lono Avenue, or sometimes popping up out at Ho'okipa. Now, full disclosure -- I don't eat raw fish, so I can't personally vouch for their poke bowls, but that's what they're known for and I've had a number of friends and family enjoy it. What I can vouch for, though, is their fried poke -- perfectly seasoned ahi cubes, floured and fried, served over rice and lettuce, and drizzled with a creamy mayo aioli. Get it hurricane style for extra sauce and furikake seasoning -- it's delicious and gives it an extra boost as once in a while it's on the drier side. Another favorite is the poke bake, which is just as satisfying and generously portioned. Started getting this recently and it hits the spot. Highly recommend either dish, especially if you're like me and prefer your fish cooked. And whatever you do, don't skip the furikake fries -- curly fries topped with aioli and furikake. SO good. Beyond the great food, my team has worked with Like Poke for company events, and they're always a hit. Friendly service and consistent quality eats that keep people coming back -- they're a favorite among locals for a reason.

Food: We ordered the honey walnut shrimp, miso butterfish, garlic furikake fries, hamachi sashimi, garlic noodles, and crispy chicken. My favorite was the hamachi sashimi. What I enjoyed about this dish was the diced maui onion that offset the citrus from the ponzu. The flavors are light, and refreshing. The most disappointing was the crispy chicken. I thought it was too salty, but that's my preference and salt tolerance. The miso butterfish was also a great dish. The fish was buttery and flavored well. Not too saucy but the perfect amount of sauce. Service: Service is friendly, like most of the restaurants on Maui. The food was served in a timely manner. The ambiance is casual and felt like a bar restaurant. Overall, I'm not sure if I would return. After ordering 6-7 dishes, I wanted to be blown away by at least 4-5 of them, but that wasn't the case. Do yourself a service and try it out at least once if you are curious!
