    Garlic noodles, $12
    Sue S.

    IMHO We love the food trucks at the South Maui Gardens in Kihei. There is so much variety for every taste bud. My hubby was craving garlic noodles and found them at Sokai Pacific Rim! One order was only $12. While ordering through a screen tablet, he accidentally ordered two orders of garlic noodles. This is what happens when your stomach is hungry and you just indiscriminately start pressing buttons. Anyways, we figured two orders would allow us to enjoy a late night snack with the extra! My husband loved the noodles. I, on the other hand, thought it lacked in garlicky flavor, and it was almost sweet. It was okay, but it was not Star Noodle garlic noodle quality. Would I return? Sure! I might try other items on their menu!

    Garlic noodles are a 5/5. Only thing that brought down the rating was the boba- do not recommend tried 3 different flavors all mid for hoe expensive they are. But the garlic noodles are AWESOME and I'd come back every day if I could. Service was fast and so kind. Definitely recommend.

    Garlic noodles with ribeye Prime Ribeye Steak and chicken Skewers

    Absolutely one of the best things I've eaten in a long time! The garlic noodles are to die for. So much flavor, tender, perfectly cooked and some type of a crunchy garlic flaky thing on top that just is amazing. We also had the ribeye skewers and they were melt in your mouth tender as was the chicken. A little spendy, but it's Maui and it was worth it. I would go back in a heartbeat! Friendly people too. Thank you!

    Garlic noodles with ribeye
    Kijana Q.

    While at this food oasis waiting on my açaí bowl from sweet hula I could smell the garlic heaven wafting through the air and had to come back later to give them a try. The storefront is simple, modern, clean appearance, and the lady behind the register was very sweet and was excited for us to try all of the different options, service was 5/5. We ordered the chicken yakitori with rice, garlic noodles with yakitori, ribeye, and shrimp. The flavor and cook of each meat was perfect, and seasoned to perfection. Finger licking good 5/5. The only complaint was how small the portion of meat is. I expected adding $12 dollars of shrimp & $14 of ribeye would come with more skewers, so price of $22 and $25 a plate vs quantity you receive didn't really align for me. The noodles are amazing. The bread crumbs in it really put it over the top, I only wish there had been more noodles 4.75/5. Overall I rate Sokai a 4.9/5.

    We ordered on the tablet, the food came out within 10 mins. We ordered the garlic noodles with chicken yakitori, came out to $20ish. Usually any garlic noodles are oily, but not these! I love the little bits of fried garlic bits, added a different texture. The chicken was perfectly charred, juicy, and was delicious.

    Loved their garlic noodles. Chicken was tender Would recommend to try them when in Maui or around

    This food was delicious! I am not a huge fan of ordering on the tablet just because I prefer having someone to ask questions to, but the people at the window were available if you caught them while they called ready orders. I got the garlic noodles and shrimp skewer. WOW! You can really taste the fresh garlic and seasonings and can tell it was cooked fresh on a nice hot wok. I did get garlic fatigue after a little, but it heats up well so leftovers are totally fine with me! My mom and sister didn't prefer the breadcrumbs, but I enjoyed the textural element. The gentleman working in the window was really kind as well! A great addition to south Maui gardens

    Banana macadamia boba tea

    Couldn't pass up the chance to get a refreshing boba tea. The banana macadamia and guava passion fruit were both refreshing!

    Soy-Garlic Noodles ($12) with Garlic Shrimp Skewer ($11)

    I tried the Soy-Garlic Noodles ($12) with a Garlic Shrimp Skewer ($11) from Sokai Pacific Rim, located in the beautiful oasis of South Maui Gardens, and while the dish was enjoyable overall, it didn't quite live up to its name. First off, service was great--friendly staff and my food came out fast (about 6 minutes), which is perfect when you're grabbing a quick bite. The noodles were well-cooked with a solid savory flavor and good texture. Sesame seeds and green onions added a nice touch. However, the "soy-garlic" flavor leaned heavily toward soy--the garlic was very mild and honestly hard to detect, which made the dish feel a bit misleading. The garlic shrimp were juicy and cooked properly, but again, the garlic flavor didn't really come through. Also, $11 for just four shrimp feels a bit steep, even for Maui. Portion size was decent, but overall it felt like a good dish that didn't fully deliver on its advertised flavor.

    the best food truck meal I had in Maui. Great flavors, great spice and perfect kick. The shrimp was cooked to perfection, the garlic was crispy. Chef's kiss

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.

The menu photo shows thick pieces of ono, and that's how they've always been served in the past. This time, the fish was paper thin and barely filled the bun. It definitely wasn't worth the price. I politely asked why the ono was so thin, and I was told, "They're sliders, that's why they're thin." I explained that I've ordered these many times before and they've never looked like this, but my concern was dismissed. I understand portions can vary, but this was a drastic difference from what I've received before. Loyal customers notice when quality and portions change. Unfortunately, after this experience, I won't be returning.

    Not my first time here, but stopped by for an early lunch around 10:30 on a Sunday…read more Only one other table was there before us with 2 people, otherwise the place was pretty empty. I was surprised they open at 10 am, but they do. We were promptly given ice water and our orders taken. We ordered mini ramen combo (shoyu) with gyoza and mini pork fried rice...a seperate small order of gyoza and an order of beef curry. The gyoza came out quickly and were pretty good. The gyoza sauce bottle was nearly empty. Had to grab one from another table. For being the opening shift, I would have assumed the night shift would have prepped sauces the night before so none were empty on tables. The mini ramen came next and had a generous portion of noodles, and the noodles were very good. They seem to have changed their noodles. They used to taste more like rice noodles or spaghetti but now they are legit hand made ramen and are very good. Unfortunately, the shoyu broth was pretty bland even if I added soy sauce. Also, the mini ramen only came with one small piece of char siu pork inside...disappointing portion of meat. It took a long time before the beef curry came out. I was surprised it was so long after the ramen. When it came out, the portion size was very large, but mostly rice. Similar to the ramen, we felt that the meat portions were not generous. The curry didn't contain visible onion, but did have potato and large pieces of carrot. Not sure if worth the price since so little beef. They water refills kept coming which was nice. Good service in that regard. The mini pork fried rice was the last item to come out and almost came out as like a dessert timed item. I don't know why the timing of the items coming out was so spread out. Maybe they are short staffed in the kitchen or don't have many cooks yet at 10 am? Overall, the food is decent for what it is. Wish they were more generous with the meat. Also wish the service was a little faster.
