    Just a simple Thai food truck just before heading up Haleakala. Came here for Take out, you can also dine there they have one picnic table. Had their curry chicken which apparently is their best seller, and their beef pad Thai. Both were good but I preferred the pad Thai, their noodles were cooked perfectly.

    We stopped by Nuis garden kitchen after a long walk at the nearby kula botanical gardens. The front of house/chef was extremely friendly and helpful answer any questions that we had! I had the tofu pad Thai and my husband had the smoked noodles. I really wanted to like the dishes as I LOVE Thai food, however the flavors did not meet the mark for me. There was just something off about the flavor combos and I only ate a few bites. My husband said the same about his dish. I would go again and see if our experience was a one off as the other reviews are top notch!! There is a small parking area in front as well as a bench for seating.

    Best Thai food we had on the island! We ordered pork heaven and chicken Pad Thai. Both dishes are so so tasty! Chef is super friendly and nice to chat with. Charmingly rustic outdoor dining area with good vibes. Such a nice way to support local small town business on the island.

    Had the opportunity to stop by on our way from Haleakala to Haiku. Food was fresh, flavorful and light. Super tasty and well-seasoned without excessive use of sauces. Vegetables tasted very fresh. Salad dressing on the side salad was a treat. Thai iced tea wasn't overly sweet or heavy. I don't usually like fried rice but I loved this fried rice. So did my toddler! Would definitely return!

    Such a delicious hidden Thai spot! I've been wanting to try this place for awhile - it's a little tucked away and it was absolutely delicious! My husband and I both got their Pad Thai - he got the beef and I got vegan - and it was super flavorful. The vegan one has a variety of nuts, veggies, and mushrooms and it came with such a nice side salad (the dressing is amaaaazing!). (My pic doesn't do it justice, plus it got tossled a bit in the car.) It's a food truck but there are some benches (some closer to the farmer's market area behind the food truck as well). When we went it was decently busy but it only took like 15 min to order and get our food. So worth it if you are a Thai food fan!!!

    Delicious Pad Thai! Definitely recommend if you are a vegetarian/vegan and looking for some food options in the area!

    If you are looking for the best Thai food upcountry, head to Maui Nui Farms good truck! I used to go to Thai Mee Up in Pukalani. I did not like how the food is always sweet, especially the peanuts. Maui Nui Farms food truck is on the side of the road next to Maui Nui Farms. I LOVE their Beef salad, Pad Thai, and stir-fry. The portioning is a lot! The side dish when ordering a plate, has fruits from orange, pitataya, and side salad. They have the best peanut dressing!!! You get the nost bang for your buck! I highly reccomend them!

    Gluten free Chicken and Shrimp Pad Thai, knocked out of the park…read more Just food that is spot on!

    Kula, HI. This is a food truck parked in a cluster with…read moreseveral others. The setting has a carnival kind of vibe, both exciting and ominous. Well no bad guys ever showed up, and the hucksterism was pretty low key. The excitement was not to be had either but it was obvious that these trucks are feeding a lot of people. If they were only able to lower their prices even a little they could be feeding even more but I guess their overhead is probably pretty high even for a parked truck. Anyway I was expecting a bit lower price scale, but it is what it is. So .. For fifteen bucks plus tax and tips I got the seared salmon. The fish was nicely cooked, I enjoyed it. The vegetables were pretty meh but did help bring more of the sauce to the palate. Yes, the sauce was good, right on the verge of too much soy, but they did a good job keeping it balanced. The salmon portion size was small, but not insultingly tiny. Could have been a bit larger for the $15, the value is not there only if you compare to what you make at home, otherwise it's probably disappointedly normal. When you get your six inch diameter bowl you will see what I mean. The heap of rice made for good entertainment feeding the chickens. You're discouraged from feeding them so I just sat the bowl down behind the coffee guys trailer and watched them pig out. It is not exactly "Fast" food here, they are actually cooking the meal while you wait. I had my order in 12 minutes though, exactly how long she said it would take.
