    Fried Pork Ribs
    Sydney H.

    Can't go wrong with the fried pork ribs here! These had a great crisp with a subtle lemongrass flavor. Located in a food truck park nearby the Kahului Airport - great spot to grab lunch after a long flight. :)

    The signage

    The food comes out fast. They said 15 minutes, but we got it an eight. Depending on when you come, it can be quite windy and it's a little bit hard to eat when it's that windy. They're also lots of bugs that like to join you so keep that in mind when you decide to eat on site or take it to go there are only porta potties on site although you could go to Costco and use their restroom so just plan ahead. There are lots of food trucks in this area at least eight. But be warned if it says it's open online, it might not be open but if it says it's closed it might be open. It's a little hard to tell when it's actually open and when it's not. We got the salmon and ahi special. The flavors are good. They're definitely flavorful, but I found both of them to be a little bit salty, which made it a little bit harder to eat. The portions were a little bit on the smaller side as well. Definitely glad to have checked it out. Food trucks in Maui are hard to go really wrong. I did have my eyes set on the Geste shrimp place but again it was closed, even though the Internet said it was open.

    Thai Mee Up Food Truck
    Pete S.

    Thai Mee Up food truck is always our first stop! We always grab lunch before hitting Costco for essentials. I've tried several of the different trucks in the ara but they are one of my favorites! A couple of my go to orders are: Panang Curry - Sweet with a touch of heat! Coconut curry is simmered with fresh vegetables. Get it with chicken or tofu. Served in a bowl over jasmine rice. Lemongrass Fried Chicken - Marinated in a variety of fresh herbs and spices. Dusted in flower and deep fried until golden brown, it is served with jasmine rice, cucumber salad and homemade sweet chili dipping sauce.

    Drunken noodle
    Nao I.

    After watching lots of food reviews on YouTube, Thai mee up was a must visit on my list. It's right by the airport so we stopped by with a huge appetite. We ordered the drunken noodle and it just looked.. really sad. Whatever this is was not drunken noodle, the noodles were still white and there was no depth in flavor. If you've had drunken noodle before, it has a smoky and deep flavor from the wok and soy sauce + some spice but this was just noodles with a LOT of garlic. This was probably one of the worst Thai dishes I've had. I think if it wasn't categorized as Thai food, it would be pretty good but I can't call this Thai food.

    Pad Thai
    Gabriella D.

    Good Thai cuisine with good menu variety and timely service. The Pad Thai is super flavorful. Part of a nice food truck park with plenty of cuisine options to satisfy everyone and lots of outdoor seating. Overall, would recommend.

    Cashew Chicken
    Michelle B.

    I always call in an order for myself and usually takes about 15 minutes and it was about that long once I ordered and got there in 5 minutes and paid for it. Cashew Chicken is usually my go to and it always comes in a savory sauce and a bountiful amount of yummy vegetables like onions, broccoli and stems, carrots, green onion, cabbage, zucchini and garlic over Jasmine Rice. The sauce is so yummy and is in most if not all their dishes. I'd recommend trying the Pad Thai, Fried Rice with Shrimp and their Lemongrass Chicken is popular too! Priced very reasonably. Add a refreshing Thai Iced Tea too!

    Crispy shrimp
    Dee S.

    We went straight there from the airport. The lady who took our order was very nice. Unfortunately, they did not have sodas, just juices and water. I ordered Pad Thai and hubby got the crispy shrimp. They were both good. Hubby wanted more rice. He must have been very hungry after the long flight. The area to sit down was clean and quiet. Very relaxing. Aloha!

    Seating area
    Irma K.

    One of my favorite food trucks. Food is tasty and price is reasonable. Portions are good and plenty. Service is friendly and fast. Food truck is located across Costco in Kahului. There are lots of tables to sit and enjoy of take to go. Definitely recommend to try any of their dishes on the menu.

    Pad Thai
    Samantha C.

    Our last meal before leaving Maui. We didn't get to try Mama's fish house so I heard the ex sous chef opened his own food truck, so I had to try! I got the pad thai and it was delicious! It wasn't too sweet like most are. Really good Thai food! Cheaper alternative to Mama's Fish House!

    Seared Tuna
    Akhilesh B.

    Stopped at Thai Me Up right after landing in Maui and grabbing our rental car--thanks to a few YouTube vloggers who raved about it--and I'm so glad we did. Tucked inside the food truck park, this place absolutely lives up to the hype. The food was perfectly seasoned and packed with flavor. The papaya salad, even as a side, completely stole the show--fresh, bright, and full of just the right balance of tang and spice. The tuna with garlic roasted veggies was incredible, everything cooked and seasoned to perfection. We also tried the cashew tofu, which was simple, fresh, and satisfying without being overly complicated--just great ingredients prepared really well.

    Such great curry and delicious lemon grass chicken. Service was quick and delicious, my family and I enjoyed it all.

    I thought this place was ok for a food truck. I was hoping it was better based on reviews but was disappointed. The chicken was salty and the pad see ew wasn't as flavorful.

    As a Thai person spending a month in Maui and eating my way through several Thai restaurants and…read morefood trucks, My Thai is the best by far! The menu has all the familiar Thai favorites, but also dishes that are hard to come by in the States. We tried quite a few things, and everything was excellent. Our favorites were the Spicy Basil (pad krapow) and Mom's Sausage (sai oua). The pad krapow comes with ground meat, as it should, and has that savory, spicy, fragrant flavor I look for. Mom's Sausage is incredibly flavorful and definitely worth ordering. The Pad Mama is another standout. It's a simple Thai comfort dish made with instant noodles, but they do it perfectly. And don't skip the mango sticky rice! The sticky rice was warm, soft, and pillowy, and the mango was perfectly ripe. Everyone here is super friendly too. The interior is cute, creative, and full of little details that show how much thought went into the place. They even play Thai country music in the background. One tip for first-timers: when you arrive, grab a menu from the check-in spot outside the restaurant, to the left of the dining area. Then head into the dining area and they'll seat you. You order through the QR code at your table and pay + tip when you place your order. Food is served in paper takeout containers. I'd definitely come back the next time I'm in Maui!

They've done this twice and I can't even call them to ask them because their number doesn't work and there's no way of getting a hold of them. I wish their menu was more accurate or if that's the case, note that the fish could be substituted because what we ordered versus what we got, are definitely 2 different things. I know what tilapia costs versus pompano and if you're going to charge me $30 for fish, I would expect to get what I ordered. I messaged them through their social media since their phone doesn't work so hopefully they respond and do the right thing. We've been loyal customers and this isn't cool. Dinner takeouts are not cheap on island so when we splurge for the $30 fish, we hope to get just that.

    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.

The roast duck was really good actually. The general tsao's chicken and chicken lettuce was good, I've definitely been to other spots that were better but I don't have anything bad to say about it. What I really disliked about this place was the Seafood Bird's Nest. Initially, they thought I ordered a Seafood Delight, but my order was missing the noodles. But they basically just fried up some noodles real quick and threw it under. And that part wouldn't have been a problem for me, but it was honestly waaaay too salty (and I like really salty! so that says a lot to me) It was difficult to eat to be honest, but I of course didn't want to waste it. The seafood included 3 pieces of shrimp, about a stick of imitation crab meat, a couple small pieces of scallop, and A LOT of calamari pieces that were soooo tough to chew, we couldn't even really eat them! For the chicken lettuce, they gave us about 3 full pieces of lettuce that was cut up and then charged us $4.00 for more pieces of lettuce which is pretty pricey lol. The siu mai was mid.. but you get what you pay for. There was also a 3% additional kitchen surcharge which was weird...? Still not sure what that was for lol. And then on top of that there's another 3% charge if you use credit card, so just be aware of that. The service was fine, because there was basically no one else in the restaurant anyway. Also - my boyfriend told me they had no soap in the restroom at all which was inconvenient. Overall, the price of their food does not make sense for the level of quality. I wouldn't recommend to my peers to come here, except maybe just grab their roast duck to go.
