    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!

    Great pho spot! Place is clean and service is polite and fast. I got the boat noodle soup and it did not disappoint! Loaded with meat and flavorful broth! Keep in mind though. They are closed on Tuesdays and the chili sauce is really hot!

    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.

    Roast Duck
    Maria K.

    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.

    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.

    Coconut ice cream with lumpia
    Matthew G.

    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!

    Singapore noodles had shrimp and mushrooms. Use the fair amount of chop Chinese spy five spice for an authentic flavor
    Brian S.

    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.

    Thai boat noodles
    Rina C.

    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.

    The food and the ingredients are incredibly fresh, the chefs are happy & putting good vibes into the food.
    Britta-Bootzie S.

    This is by far one of our absolute favorite restaurants! The food and the ingredients are incredibly fresh, the chefs are happy & putting good vibes into the food! We are slightly addicted at this point and probably going far too often, it's that good!

    Hainanese chicken with rice
    Carmen S.

    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.

    Pho ga. Hot and savory. All the great topping of basil and sprouts and jalapeño
    DiAnn A.

    Clean spacious and friendly and accommodating! Service was prompt and we had a special request that was easily accomplished- one take out short rib curry from Nutcharee sister restaurant and one for in house dining. No problem! Dry noodles and Singapore noodles were the other dishes and they were perfectly seasoned and made to order. They have beer and wine and soft drinks. Great menu variety- something for everyone including vegan options. Must try in kihei!

    Rock-hard and barely warm "Crispy Hainanese Chicken" -  stay away!
    Clip L.

    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.

    Special Seafood Tom Yum

    Our server was Lena and she was wonderful. The restaurant is very clean, we love that you can see the chef preparing the noodles. Our food came out relatively fast. We ordered the crepe, special pho, and special seafood tom yum. The crepe was crispy, refreshing and filling. The Tom yum had so much seafood, the noodles were delicious. The pho was very good, we added the spice. Will be back, we will definitely get the crepes again.

    We've owned a home in Kihei since 2015, and yet, had never been to Thai Bistro. So, today, we…read morefinally realized maybe we should give it a try? The lunchtime meal was *amazing*! I had Thai-Railway Fried Rice, which has diced, cooked NY steak chunks, in a bed of brown rice, as well as peas, carrots, scallions, Maui onions (yum!), with an egg over easy on top, with toasted onions. I dialed the spicyness at "medium". It was *perfect*! My wife had Pad Thai with chicken, and she left it at the default spicyness (medium), which ended up being too hot for her, but she soldiered on nevertheless enjoying the wonderful flavor. Perhaps because of the noodles and curry, the spiciness of the Pad Thai seemed much stronger than the Thai-Railway fried rice dish. Of course, we had leftovers and I'll probably end up eating hers, and she'll eat mine. The service was prompt, and the girl waiting on the tables was courteous, with a beautiful smile. The restaurant is deceptively roomy, seeming to be smaller from the outside, but once inside, it was quiet, clean, with comfortable chairs, clean tables, and large windows to enjoy some of Kihei's views (like today's gentle rain). As with most things these day on Maui, where everything comes in a shipping container, food costs are very noticable. Our meal, including thai ice tea and a soda, with a coconut ice-cream to finish it was about $44/person. Not cheap, but also not as bad as, say, Tommy Bahamas.

    We ordered 3 dishes and had leftovers to enjoy again. We ordered Macadamia nut panang Curry (I love…read morecurry anytime..), Drunken noodles (Pad Ki Mao) and Thai-railway fried rice (recommended by server). All dishes were delicious, full of flavour in every bite. Our whole family enjoyed every dish. The portions are good size and the prices were ok! The servers kept to themselves. Once you get your food, they only show up with your bill and ask you how the meal was. When you view your bill, you are automatically charged 18% tip for the meal, which was a little bit of a turn off considering the service you were getting is very little.

Happy Belly blew us away and honestly saved our trip after a disappointing dinner the night before at a nearby grill. This was exactly what we needed. We ordered the Garlic Noodle with Pork Belly, Chicken Katsu Panang Curry, and the Pulled Pork Sliders -- and every single one delivered. The garlic noodles were rich, savory, and packed with flavor, topped with crispy pork belly that had that perfect golden edge but was still tender and melt-in-your-mouth in the center. Absolutely addictive. The Chicken Katsu Panang Curry was a combo I never would have thought to put together, but somehow it just works. The crispy katsu with that creamy curry sauce was such a good pairing -- and the spice level was mild enough that even I could enjoy every bite without reaching for water.

Walked in before 5:00pm with no reservation for a party of four. Well, that was a mistake.

When they finally sat our party the restaurant was still 2/3 empty. There was really no reason to keep us waiting that i could see. When you see someone in the party is disabled and using assistive devices you should be more accommodating. It kind of felt like we were being punished for not having a reservation. Also, expect a 3% service charge for the back of the house. Really, for the prices they charge for mahi fragments you could pay those people without a surcharge. Portions here are tiny. My mahi fragments were dry, over spiced and served with two unseasoned baby bok choi leaves and a slice of grilled tomato. For the price of almost $40.00. The beer was good and so was our server so they got one star for that. Otherwise, this place is touristy, overpriced and the maitre d' is slow on the uptake. Overall, there are plenty of great restaurants on Maui, recommend you try one of those.
