    Got an assortment of baos and safe to say that each one was better than the next!! They all were warm, fresh, and super soft. All the combos were great. Came out quick and in a great spot with lots of food trucks so these baos were the perfect appetizer

    Great name, great food!! We tried six different bao buns and tots loaded with kalua pork, pickled onions, pineapple salsa and magic! Everything was delicious! The packaging is earth conscience, and it stayed fresh on the 10 minute drive back to the condo. A definite must try and repeat! Oh!! And the service was kind and efficient :)

    I've a t-shirt with this spots name so you know I gotta try it out! And ooooo the variety! I wanted to try one of each lol. They were super friendly and was super helpful with our order! The bao buns were yummy and filling. I ate 5 of them . They did have dessert bao buns that I was tempted to buy but I was nice and didn't . Will definitely be back for their dessert menu! Almost forgot to mention the buns we got!! we tried the bao chicka bao bao (this was really good and the chicken was great!), uncle Philly (this was my fav!!!) and crispy shrimp (this had a monster size shrimp and was nicely fried) This is located in a food truck area so they have benches to sit and eat at and there will be chickens running around the area .

    Food: 4 Service: 4 Ambiance: 4 t was a perfect Maui day, and we decided to head over to the food truck area. Buns Out Suns Out was already on my list, so I was really excited to finally try it. We came a little after the lunch rush, and there was no line at all, which was a nice bonus. We ended up ordering the Little Piggy Bao, the Bao Chicka Bao Bao, and the Hurricane Tots. I absolutely loved the Little Piggy Bao, especially the ube bun. The pork belly was cooked to perfection and paired so well with the slightly sweet ube bread. The Bao Chicka Bao Bao was also very delicious, flavorful, and crunchy. The Hurricane Tots were good, but they didn't quite blow me away compared to the baos. Everything we tried was really tasty, and honestly, I wanted to eat way more baos but had to control myself. I would definitely recommend this spot for a great snack, or if you're making a meal out of it, be sure to order a few extra baos. It's a must-try when you're checking out the food trucks in Maui

    Super solid choice for food in Kihei. Located in the food truck park right by Azeka shopping center. The buns are tasty and fresh. The shrimp bun was by far our favorite. The tofu bowl was "super fire" according to the person that got it. The pork belly bowl was good, but not my personal favorite. The pork was a bit too sweet for my liking (but it wasn't my main meal, so I was ok). The guys running the trick were super nice and asked us to let them know if anything was off. They have a kiosk to order which is helpful on busier days. Actually many of the food trucks now have a kiosk ordering available. The bathrooms are clean (if you get there early enough), and the tables are communal. Just a reminder, don't feed the chickens!

    Suns out buns out has deliciously fresh Bao buns. They offer tons of different types of Bao and different varieties of flavor profiles. Such as duck, shrimp, chicken, and pork. The Bao buns themselves are warm and soft to perfection, great flavor in every bite, and very filling. I love suns out buns out for a yummy bite to eat

    Crispy shrimp Bao

    I went at 5PM on a Tuesday, it wasnt busy at all. You can order on a tablet and they will text you once your order is ready. I tried the crispy shrimp Bao. The crispness was on point. Flavor was 10/10. The pineapple added perfect amount of sweetness. Honestly I wish I got more than one.

    Got the special bun from this food truck! Purple is such a cool color in food. Tasted delicious! Would recommend coming! The staff inside were really nice too.

    Shani H.

    Came to the food truck park to grab an urgent snack. I ordered one duck and one mushroom. Both were ready very quickly. Looking forward to trying more on my next trip.

    Bao bun trio that way you can try different flavors. Little piggy - love this because of the ube bao bun. Island piggy - love the pork and salsa in this one. Duck duck goat - I don't have goat as much so why not try this. I enjoyed the flavors of this one. I really enjoyed this meal. It was filling and tasty.

    Bao Bun Trio: Bao Chicka Bao Bao and Crispy Shrimp Bao Bun which
    Kee F.

    Let me just say, Suns Out, Buns Out was consistently good on both days (back-to-back) that we were able to get it. Here's what we tried, how we rated it, and what we thought: Day 1: Bao Chicka Bao Bao with Truffle Tater Tots--5/5. As someone who usually doesn't eat or care for slaw, I have to admit the slaw paired perfectly with the buffalo chicken. The spice and juices from the buffalo sauce complemented the fluffy and light bao bun without overpowering it. The truffle tater tots were an excellent side edition for an additional $4, but they were perfectly crisp with no soggy tots in sight, which we truly appreciated! Day 2: Bao Buns Trio with Truffle Tater Tots--5/5. We ordered two Bao Chicka Bao buns and one Crispy Shrimp Bao Bun which was really the star of the show! The tropical salsa and sweet chili mayo was AMAZING! The salsa was fresh and the mayo gave us a sweet and spicy kick which was perfectly balanced!

    Seth M.

    This food truck is amazing! We came back after a year and a half and the buns are just as good and we remember! The duck bun and the cheesesteak bun are both amazing and very delicious! We will for sure be coming back every time we come back to maui!

    Sasha K.

    Yummmmmmmmmyyyyyy...the most amazing bao buns I've ever had and to make it all the better they are stunning when you grab the vivid purple Ube ones. My favourite was the pork filling with crunchy and acidic pickled veggies. They have quick service and are made of exceptional quality. Who doesn't love some soft bread with amazing fillings and the Hawaiian sun shining on them?

    Tots, Ube, Pork and Duck ... strange but delicious!

I called and asked them for directions and they actually guided us. They were also really patient in explaining the menu to us and explaining the different types of fish and what not. Really glad we were patient and actually came here! Such a lovely aesthetic to the whole area and the food. Oh my goodness!!! The burst of flavor in everything was phenomenal! Such unique combinations and everything was so fresh and cooked so well and just mind blowing! Husband and I kept saying how we should have just gone there multiple times for food! Mahi Mahi Bento bowl with Ono instead. (It has Crispy Sushi Rice / Black Garlic / Market Vegetables) I really have no words to see how good this combination was! I was actually a little full going into dinner but ended up actually wiping this whole plate clean! The food was that good! Husband got the Roasted Organic Chicken With Coconut with Coconut Carrot Curry and Roasted Vegetables. Very different vibe from my item but also really delicious. Heat thoroughly enjoyed this one! The chicken was perfectly cooked and the carrot coconut curry combination with the vegetables and the chicken was lovely. He kept some leftovers for the next day because the chicken portion size was quite huge and we enjoyed it even the next day! Seaweed salad was also delicious! Super fresh and tasty!

I'm not sure I've had, or will have, a better meal on Maui. It was named one of the top local spots last year, and that recognition feels completely deserved. Set at the far end of South Maui Gardens, the outdoor seating gives it a relaxed but special ambiance. For our 30th anniversary, my wife and I shared the smoked tomahawk steak family-style, along with black garlic roasted rice, pickled carrots and onions, and a roasted vegetable medley with a beautiful spice mix. Every bite was outstanding -- perfectly cooked, deeply flavorful, and clearly crafted with intention. We finished with the lilikoi meringue pie, which was just as impressive and a perfect way to end the meal. Maui has some incredible dining experiences, and Kitoko stands comfortably among the very best -- food truck or not. If you're looking for a truly memorable dinner on the island, don't miss this one.

So yes, great variety !

There are several (maybe 6?) covered areas with numerous tables and chairs, so ample seating is available. I saw a lot of complaints of dirty tables from bird poop. We had no problem with the tables. They were all clean. However there ARE a ton of birds and chickens, so except them to join you for lunch and and run around your feet and below the tables, waiting for you to drop food. One annoyance was only a few places have a kids menu, and was limited to hot dogs, grilled cheese, and cheese burgers (depending on what trucks are there). I do suggest you look up each individual food truck on yelp to see their menus and food pictures. This page doesn't give the greatest insight on that. A solid 4 star spot for lunch! Highly recommend if you want variety
