After a cold sunset experience at Haleakalā, my boyfriend and I wanted hot noodle soup! Noodles and Rice served us a delicious bowl of pho, and it did the trick! Noodles and Rice is located in Kihei. There is plenty of parking (free). There is a single-room bathroom for customers. Super clean! The restaurant is impeccably tidy. There was not a speck of dust or a single water stain in sight. Well done! Plenty of seating inside. Very inviting, cozy space. Perfect for late night noodles (and rice)! The staff were extraordinary friendly and kind. The pho was delicious! The Thai chili oil is quite spicy, but tasty too. I wish we were hungrier because their appetizers look good. We will return if we're ever back on-island! read more

Noodles And Rice - Beef Pho - Noodles Near Me - Kihei, Hawaii

Noodles and Rice, two of my vices and the name of sistering restaurant, Nutcharee's, newest eatery. ATMOSPHERE: Located in Azeka's on the ocean side, it's a simple space with counter and low top seating. RESERVATIONS: Not needed. PARKING: Free & plentiful. MENU: Vietnamese apps, noodle & rice selections, desserts. FOOD: Crispy Tiger Shrimp (4 pcs.) Sizable, peeled shrimp that needed to be cooked more as they visually and texturally tasted a tad rare. The coating was light and crispy but needed more seasoning as they relied on the included dipping sauce for flavor. Lettuce Wrap Romaine innards provided for the perfect vessel for the ground chicken, though the poultry needed a serious flavor oomph. Special Pho The pictures, especially the dark-hued broth, looked so good, I had to try it. This was my first ever beef pho and it was very disappointing. First off, the broth was not hot, a serious flaw for me. Secondly, the flavor was very subtle. I did enjoy the tender slices of meat, especially the meatballs. I wished my carb overload didn't go to waste, but it did. SERVICE: Greeting was immediate and welcoming. Food delivery was quick. Wait staff were friendly but there was no follow up. TIP: There's an automatic gratuity for kitchen staff and a surcharge for using credit cards. OVERALL: Meh. read more

Delicious! Everything here is super fresh. We have only made it through a few menu items. Standouts are the Vietnamese crepes and the truly amazing coconut ice cream with banana lumpia dessert. The latter I have regular cravings for. Beau likes the Oxtail Pho and we have our eyes on the Hamachi collar next. It took us a year to go to this restaurant as rice and noodles happens in so many meals without ever trying. The place is super clean and bright and the same server we have each time is friendly and helpful. Noodles and Rice is a winner and is now in our regular restaurant rotation! read more

What do you do after running a half marathon? Go to lunch of course. I Decide to do Vietnamese in Kihei. After my friend pick me up from the half marathon finish line at The Shops At Ma'alea Harbor parking lot, we decided to talk about what to have for lunch. I was craving pho at the time, and so we decide to take a short drive down south from my Airbnb condo in Kihei. This restaurant was nestled in the shopping center where locals and visitors in Kihei normally go to or their daily essential items and other services in the area. We arrived here around 1:30 PM on a Saturday afternoon. We got lucky to find parking right in front of the restaurant, so that was pretty cool. Maybe it was luck or something, or we probably be the lunch rush or something lol. In either case, we got a good deal and found ourselves in a mostly empty restaurant. Only a couple of tables were being occupied, but everything else was virtually empty on a Saturday afternoon in March 2025. My time here is fairly brief with my friend, spending all about an hour from ordering, heating, and paying the check. The restaurant was nice, small, clean, and decorated beautifully and had a nice simplistic ambiance. I do enjoy a nice and quiet meal and not have a tv or stereo system in the restaurant dictate the ambiance for me. For my experience here, it was a nice experience that made me realize that you can find Vietnamese fare anywhere and Yelp has a wonderful way to find such local businesses. The service here was very nice and friendly. The overall experience here at Noodles and Rice here in Kihei, Maui was definitely a nice treat to have while spending a weekend on Maui. It was present, quiet, definitely simple. It was a nice way to have lunch with the friend who lives on the island. I love the ambience because it was after the lunch rush and definitely a place to have my Vietnamese fix for the day. I had the beef noodle soup with an appetizer, which was the shrimp summer rolls. I always get these because it is refreshing and compliments the beef noodle soup. I also tried to ask for extra vegetables since I love the crunch. It makes while mixing with the soup broth. For the most part, though, it was nice to be here after running 13.1 miles in Kihei earlier that morning. It was nice to be able to see and experience, new places, especially when you've been to multiple times over the course of your lifetime. I will definitely recommend coming here because it is a great place to get wholesome food at reasonable prices. I've never tried their rice place but when you're in a Vietnamese restaurant, you always get the beef noodle soup for sure. The location is great and in the heart of Kihei Maui. And it's close to the beach so once you're done with lunch or dinner, you can hop on over and get your tan on. Noodles and Rice Vietnamese restaurant is located in the heart of Kihei Maui. Its physical address is 1280 S Kihei Road in the Azeka shopping center. The menu is extensive but compacted for your own benefit. They accept major credit cards as well as cash. As far as parking goes, there is plenty of parking because of the fact that they are located inside a large shopping mall. Plenty of parking for anybody and everybody who wants to dine here. we got lucky because we found spots literally in front of the restaurant. Best bet is to go after or before the lunch or dinner crowd hits, so you can get the best spot possible without walking too much from the car to the restaurant location. But if you need to, there's always Uber and Lyft at your Disposal. If you're like me, the Maui bus can take you here as well. I think you would need to take only one bus from the queen Kaahumanu center. However, I could be mistaken. Please check the most current Maui bus schedule for the up-to-date information. And so, if you feel that you need some beef noodle soup in your life and you're on Molly for vacation or whatever, consider coming here and having your best time of your life. Soothe your Vietnamese, fix by having some beef noodle soup. It would be possibly the most fun you would have in your mouth your taste buds will thank you for it. I'm sure. 4.5 stars for the overall experience. 5.0 stars for the location, ambiance, and food. 3.5 stars for the prices. Support local! B+ read more

This place has been on my radar to try ever since it opened. It's located in the Azeka Marketplace near Nalu's and it's sister restaurant Nutcharee's Authentic Thai. There is plenty of parking. The restaurant has an open kitchen design with 8 seats at the bar, seven 4-person tables and one 8-person table. We ordered the char siu & crispy pork belly plate and special pho. The flavor of the pho was really good! The noodles and meat made the pho better than Bale. The crispy pork was really crispy, just the way I like it. The char siu was good too, not too much fat. The portions are big so come hungry! read more

If you haven't been to Noodles and Rice, you're seriously missing out. This place is everything I want in a restaurant -- cozy, welcoming atmosphere, insanely good food, and the kind of chef-driven quality that keeps you thinking about your meal days later. Right when you walk in, you can feel the warmth -- not just from the kitchen, but from the staff and the vibe. It's casual, friendly, and feels like you've been invited into someone's home. Let's talk food: this is Thai/Vietnamese fusion done right. The chef clearly knows what she's doing -- every dish feels crafted with care and experience. The broth? Deep, flavorful, absolutely soul-soothing. The saté and roast BBQ pork are hands-down some of the best I've had -- tender, rich, and perfectly seasoned. It's that rare mix of savory, spicy, and comforting that just hits all the right notes. Out of seven meals I've had out this week, this was the only one I actually finished -- and I mean cleaned the bowl. The portion size is perfect: generous but not overwhelming, and the prices are more than fair for the quality you're getting. Bottom line: Noodles and Rice is the kind of place you want to keep to yourself but can't stop raving about. I'll be back -- probably tomorrow. I totally forgot to take a pic of the duck leg soup with all that good umami in there at first taste. Sorrrrryyyy. P.S. we both got the egg noodles. Worked perfectly for both dishes. read more

Noodles And Rice - Dry noodle. - Noodles Near Me - Kihei, Hawaii

We decided to try this new restaurant by Nalu's and because they serve Roast Duck. I love most duck dishes and the picture looked good. First of all I liked the Roast Duck but the skin was soft. I wish the skin was crispy or at least not as soft as it was. Also there were only 3 slices of cucumber on the dish. I was hoping for more since there were no other vegetables other than the pickled ginger which was delicious. The picture on the add showed more slices. My husband ordered the Boat Noodles with rice noodles. He said it had good flavor. It was served with five condiments along with basil and bean sprouts to customize it for your preference. The serve staff was friendly and gave great service. We will definitely come back to try other dishes. read more

The traditional tom yum noodles is the way to go. It's been weeks and I'm still dreaming of how delicious the bowl of tom yum noodles was. I've had a lot of tom yum before and this was honestly at the top of my list. The restaurant is located in a big plaza in Kihei with plenty of parking. It has an unassuming name and storefront but when you step inside, it's newly renovated, clean, and modern. The service was very quick and friendly. The restaurant is great for a casual or slightly elevated lunch/dinner for small and/or large groups. read more

Went here for the first time today for lunch on a Sunday. We got in around 12:30 and they weren't super busy yet. Lots of tables and clean and inviting space near their sister restaurant Nutcharee's Authentic Thai. We noted you can see the kitchen as they're cooking your food and there are also wall outlets if you need to charge a device. Hostess/server was very friendly and the owner greeted us also and told us the specials for the day. We tried the edamame, crab Rangoon, oxtail soup with egg noodle, Vietnamese special pho, and the coconut ice cream. The edamame has a very delicious sauce on the outside that give it more flavor than just the normal sea salt I'm used to. Very good! The crab Rangoon order is a little small with only four pieces but the Rangoons are very delicious and have high quality seafood filling inside that is far more flavorful than your typical Rangoon. Not so heavy on the cream cheese. The egg noodles in the oxtail soup are almost more like standard ramen noodles, FYI. Came with several large bone in pieces of oxtail. I had the Vietnamese special pho. Very solid pho and has three kinds of meat (meat ball, sliced steak with a fatty edge, and then a thin steak more like shabu shabu meat). All soups come with sprouts, basil, lime, dish of housemade sriracha/hoisin. Also served with chili paste (very spicy). Very flavorful broth and exactly what most pho lovers will enjoy. The coconut ice cream with lumpia was very delicious. Had some honey and I believe peanut pieces on top. Lumpia are small almost straw size but a nice crispy compliment. Ice cream super flavorful and rich. We spent around $110 with three bowls of soup, two appetizers and a desert that we shared. None of us left feeling hungry (we were all stuffed!) and we didn't have enough leftovers to warrant taking in a box. Just the right amount of food. Friendly service. Would highly recommend trying it out if you like noodle soups and enjoy the food at Nutcharee's Thai. It is on par with that in terms of quality and will not disappoint. Aloha! read more

These are hard-working people using classic Vietnamese and Thai recipes to provide you food in a casual sit down restaurant. Portion sizes are fair service was good and I thought the green curry spaghetti I had was tasty. We had the Vietnamese lettuce wraps, and they only gave us three pieces of lettuce which I thought was kind of silly. They have gave us . The Singapore noodles were good The temperature of the noodles could've been a little hotter they seem to have cooled a bit by the time they got to the table, but very satisfactory overall. They both used, unique mushrooms, which I thought made it a little special they had real fermented chili paste for hot sauce, which is a good thing. My server was very present and informative. I would go there again. There's a very popular restaurant down the block and if the line is kind of over there, I'd give this place a try. read more

Noodles And Rice - Singapore noodles had shrimp and mushrooms. Use the fair amount of chop Chinese spy five spice for an authentic flavor - Noodles Near Me - Kihei, Hawaii

Noodles and Rice is an absolute gem on Maui! We started with the Bahn Xeo, a perfectly crispy and flavorful appetizer that set the tone for an amazing meal. I had the Thai Boat Noodle soup, and I couldn't be happier! It's so hard to find good noodles on Maui let alone Thai boat noodles, and now I don't have to fly to Oahu for my fix--this bowl was rich, bold, and packed with flavor. My fiancé ordered the pho, which was equally delicious, with a broth so savory. And don't get me started on dessert--the banana lumpia with haupia ice cream was incredible! I'm not usually a dessert person, but this is a must-try. If you're looking for authentic flavors and a memorable dining experience, great service (the chef came to check on us) and a nice relaxing atmosphere come try this place out. read more

I tried this new place in Kihei & so I looked at the pictures & menu. I saw a Hainanese chicken with rice. I called to place an order but before I ordered I asked the lady who answered the phone if it's chicken breast because that's the only kind of chicken I eat. She said it was. I picked it up and went home to eat it for lunch. I opened it and the chicken was fried & the chicken was a thigh not breast. Very disappointed!!! I wasted $20 on lunch I did not eat. Only thing positive is if you're local, they give you a 10% discount. Below on the right is their Hainanese chicken on their Yelp photo and the one on the left & fried is what they gave me. read more

Great menu variety- something for everyone including vegan options. Must try in kihei! read more

Noodles And Rice - Pho ga. Hot and savory. All the great topping of basil and sprouts and jalapeño - Noodles Near Me - Kihei, Hawaii

An utter disappointment - with so many 5-star reviews, I was expecting this new restaurant to be awesome. My friend and I live only two minutes away so we decided to do take-out on a Saturday for lunch. The Singapore Noodles was mediocre in terms of flavor with hardly any meat. The Tiger Shrimp (four shrimps) was a total rip-off for $22 especially when the shrimps were overcooked (hard) and had no flavor. I grew up eating the "Hainan Chicken" dish and thought their "deep fried" Crispy Hainanese Chicken might be an interesting twist - well, not when the checken was *rock-hard* and barely warm!!!! The Charsiu manapua tasted decent with lots of fillings. I could tell they were hand-made because one of the two buns was half the size of the other one... With the prices this restaurant is charging, I would have expected something better than tasteless and overcooked food. The serving sizes were pretty tiny as well. The cashier was friendly but the staff cooking at the back (you can see them as you walk into the restaurant) looked grouchy. The restaurant looked pretty clean. Their website was also a major disaster. It didn't work on Safari and they forced you to create an account in order to just look at their menu. To top it off, they tried to charge 14% of "taxes and fees" for online order without even telling you what "fees" you were being charged for. I simply do not appreciate this kind of shady business practice. With so many new and awesome restaurants/food trucks around, I will never go back to N & R by Nutcharee again. read more

Noodles And Rice - Rock-hard and barely warm "Crispy Hainanese Chicken" - stay away! - Noodles Near Me - Kihei, Hawaii

I'm a big fan of Nutcharee so I was excited to hear about their sister restaurant opening up. We stopped in without any reservations and were seated right away. I really liked the esthetics and open kitchen. It feels homey and inviting. The food was flavorful and delicious. It all came out pretty quickly too. We ordered the Crab Ragoons and Pohole Fern Salad to start. The ragoons were nice and cruchy and I appreciated that they were not scalding hot. The salad was excellent! It ranks as number two in my book as far as Pohole salad goes (Star Noodle #1). For dinner I got the roasted duck. 10/10. It came with a dipping sauce, large portion of rice, fresh cucumbers, 1/2 boiled egg and sliced ginger. The duck itself was sliced bite size and was the perfect amount for me. My other half got the pork belly/ char siu combo and it was also tasty. That dish came with the same sides as the duck. They also brought out some ginger/pho type broth that we did not order, but appreciated and enjoyed. No alcohol. Drink options are tea, sodas, matcha, etc. No dessert options for now, but we were full and happy by the time we left. We'll be back. read more

just found this place and have really enjoyed sampling their menu. Their chicken katsu is out standing. Freshly made and ther chicken is very tendar. My wife loves their boat noodles with beef.

The pho was very good, we added the spice. Will be back, we will definitely get the crepes again. read more

Noodles And Rice - Tom yum noodle soup - Noodles Near Me - Kihei, Hawaii

Noodles and Rice by @nutchareesthaifood! Vietnamese crepe. Fresh, light and full of flavor. Nuoc Cham sauce was on point. It was served with butter lettuce, cucumber, mint, cilantro, and 2 1/2 rice paper wraps cut in half, so it was a little like a DIY summer rolls. An overall GREAT appetizer! I would say it could feed 2-3 people as an appetizer. Roasted Duck. Rice was fluffy. Love when restaurants pay attention to their rice! Duck was good, nice flavor, not too oily as some places have there's. Wasn't too sure what the dark sauce was on the side, but the dish worked well without it for my preference. Was served with what I assume was the Haianese chicken broth. Yum! Special Tomyum with seafood. The menu has a chili pepper sign next to it, and the color was red so I thought it was going to be spicy. I love spicy but it wasn't spicy. The tomyum flavor was there. I got it with regular rice noodles, other noodle options were vermicelli or egg noodles. There were strips of calamari, 2 varieties of fish cakes, ground pork, shrimp, mussels, fish ball. The menu didn't state this, but I also had what seamed like 2 pieces of pork and a beef ball. It was delicious! It also came with 2 pieces of fried wonton chips which I enjoyed having a crunch factor in the soup. Was good, but I would have enjoyed a bit more heat. It was an open set up so you can see the chefs preparing your food which I thought was very nice and a bit more inviting and personal! Staff were attentive, came by to take dishes once we were done and very welcoming. Can't wait to try their other dishes! read more

The service was really good. Our server was very sweet and very accommodating. The ambience is pretty bare but I like that the kitchen is open so I can see them prepare my soup. I initially ordered the boat noodle soup and when it arrived at the table, it had blood in it and I had no idea that it was a blood soup. I don't eat blood and so I was taken aback. I guess I should've researched more about what boat noodle soup is but on the menu, it didn't say that it was a blood based soup. That's the only reason I took it down to four stars. But the server was so kind and so sweet about it and she rushed my pho order. The pho was really good and really hot too. I would come again but I just really wish that the menu would be a little more thorough. read more

A great new restaurant. We had the Vietnamese crepes to start. You assemble them at the table with rice paper, an egg crepe, fresh mint and basil and they were so fresh and delicious. I ordered the boat noodles with pork and the broth was flavorful and rich. Sometimes pork can be tough in these types of dishes but this was very tender and good. Great atmosphere and staff. Definitely recommend! read more

As expected, it was FABULOUS! We smelled it and completely forgot to take photos!!! So fresh you'd SWEAR they had an herb garden out back they were picking directly from for every dish. Longtime fans of Nutcharee's, (located on ocean side of Azeka Plaza) we were not disappointed. We smelled the food coming out and it was so mesmerizing we forgot to take pictures!!! There were 4 of us and we had: - Lettuce Wraps - Edamame - Spaghetti Green Curry - Saimin with fishballs and wonton - Special Seafood Tom Yum - Singapore noodles And another major plus is they do not over salt their dishes so they actually bring a selction of chilis, sauces, salt and soy so you can make it perfection for your individual palette. Everything was so good I am now kicking myself for not getting several more dishes of the things we didn't try just to bring home for dinner and lunch tomorrow, but I will next time!! Run, don't walk... get yours before the lines start forming, and they will! It's that good!!! read more
