    Spicy ahi poke
    Chelsea I.

    I was super excited to try here based on the raving reviews I've heard. But I was left feeling a bit disappointed... Decided to order online since we heard the wait could get long. Our group ordered a little bit of everything - all with garlic noodles as the side since it seemed to very popular based on the reviews. We went with the mochiko chicken (animal style), spicy ahi poke, and pork belly. Mochicko chicken was good, but some pieces were cold and fatty which wasn't very pleasant. The animal style sauce was really tasty, and didn't overpower the chicken, it complimented the plate well! The noodles weren't very garlicky at all, definitely felt it was lacking flavor. Poke was good, but the pieces of fish were in pretty large chunks. Lastly, the pork belly was just okay. As a local, I think this place is a good introduction for tourists to get a taste of local flavors. But definitely hit up some other local spots even Zippy's for comparison. Maybe I just went on a off day. To end off on a positive note they do offer a few vegetarian and vegan options!

    Mochiko Chicken
    Dallas S.

    Tin Roof was a solid plate lunch spot near the airport. I got the mochiko chicken with garlic noodles, which was a $4 upcharge and brought the plate to around $19. A little pricey for a plate lunch, but I've heard so many good things about this place and Chef Simeon, so I didn't mind. The mochiko chicken was the highlight. Chicken was moist and fried well and the garlic aioli + scallion ginger sauce was excellent. The garlic noodles were just "okay". Pretty much plain noodles without veggies, any garlic pieces or anything else for texture, so I wouldn't pay the extra $4 for them again. We also got a few sides of the potato mac salad which was really good. Overall the food was above average and I'd come back if I was in the area. Next time I'd probably try the spicy chicken sandwich or fish sandwich because both looked good in the pics other ppl posted

    Mochiko Chicken
    Brent Y.

    We came here after our Road to Hana trip. We ordered online, and the food was packed up and ready to go when we arrived (takeout only restaurant). We ordered the Kale Salad, Dry Mein, Mochiko Chicken, and Garlic Shrimp with Garlic Noodles. The Dry Mein (5/5) was the star of the show and to die for. The broth that it came with was really flavorful, and the noodles were nice and chewy. This is a must-try, and I'm craving it again as I write this review. The Kale Salad (5/5) was fresh, light, and refreshing. I would recommend this as well. The Mochiko Chicken (4/5) was solid, with furikake cracker bits that added a nice crunch and made it fun to eat. The Garlic Shrimp (3/5) was a bit mid, but the Garlic Noodles (5/5) were excellent, and I would order them again.

    Ginger chicken. Sounded so good but lacked flavor.

    Nice place to stop and get food after you arrive from the airport but it's a to go only place, so beware. We got the pork belly kau kau, mochiko chicken, chop steak, ginger chicken, beet box and kale salad. The line was long so we placed our online order while waiting. It said our order was ready about 25 min before it actually was. It's hard to hear the woman calling out names and it wasn't clear if you ordered online you would get a text. Realized after we had left that we never got the mochiko chicken. The garlic noodles and ginger chicken were pretty bland. The pork belly was on the tougher side. At least they had some veg options for my husband but both items had a lot of kale so he should have just gotten one. I'm bummed about missing out on the chicken!

    If there's one place you have to try when you go to Maui, let it be TIN ROOF. Everything we got was amazing! I do recommend ordering online before driving there to avoid the wait. there were no tables and chairs, everything is to go

    Garlic Shrimp plate
    Andrea Z.

    Visited on a Tuesday around 4:30pm, short line about 2 other groups ahead of me, waited maybe 5 minutes to order since there were a few orders being picked up and staff was also packing up finished orders. Food: Garlic Shrimp Rice Plate - came with 7 fairly large pieces of shrimp in shell coated in a delicious garlic sauce, we ordered with steamed brown rice which was a solid base and comes with a few pieces of salted cabbage adding a salty crunch Garlic noodles - regular size which was about a 6oz portion of noodles, nice toasted garlic flavor, lightly seasoned. Noodles were thin and cooked a tad al dente so they had a slight bite. Thoroughly enjoyed, would upgrade to garlic noodles with the garlic shrimp tin tin plate next time. Service was okay, ordered at the register and input a phone number so team can text you when order is ready to pick up which took about 10min. Team packed a few napkins and forks in our togo bag. Parking lot is decent size and we were able to park easily. Overall enjoyed Tin Roof, a no frills takeout only spot that's doing plate lunches well.

    So delicious and hungry, forgot to take pictures. We tried the friend blue marlin bowl. The fish was coated in panko breading. It came on rice and had some greens. The store front soooo small. You ordered and paid at the doorway. They took your name and called out when order was ready. You walk up to the same doorway to pickup food. You just sneak in between paying customers to get your food. Will definitely be back. It's close to the airport and Costco.

    Cup of Broth, Mochiko Chicken, and Spicy Ahi Poke with Garlic Noodles
    Samantha L.

    Amazing stop for food straight from the airport! Pro tip, order ahead online as the wait to order can get pretty long. There aren't any places to sit, so be ready to just grab your food and go somewhere else to eat (perfect for eating on the beach). We ordered the broth (5/5, sooo flavorful), spicy ahi poke with garlic noodles (5/5, the ahi was fresh, and the garlic noodles are soooo good), and mochiko chicken with rice (5/5, wish we had subbed the rice for garlic noodles too, but the chicken was perfectly juicy and crispy). Perfect first meal right after a long flight!

    Chicken bowl
    Tania G.

    This little whole in the way was sooo good!! I got the chicken, with the garlic noodles.... Gurllllll let me tell you, BOMB. I didn't even finish the entire thing I had left overs and ate it for dinner. The bowl was a pretty decent size, and the bed of noodles was delicious also! They were soo quick considering how many ppl were waiting for their food order. Definitely recommend this place. Also didn't think it was overly expensive.

    Mochiko Chicken and Mac Salad
    Asialynn V.

    Heard allllll the hype and it did NOT disappoint! Came here right after my flight around 11-11:30am, line wasn't too long and the wait was worth. Wanted 2 tins but they were sold out of poke by noon. Got the Mochiko Chicken with Mac salad on the side and straight fire! Mochiko chicken was just sooooo good and the arare crackers added the most amazing texture to it. It had great flavor and Mac salad complimented it so well. I absolutely would love to come back and try more, very straightforward and you order at the window. Lines could be longer and might be hard to find parking but the food is absolutely worth it, I highly recommend! On my receipt I think it said Maggie is the employee that helped us, she gave out amazing service!!

    Tin Roof is definitely a must-visit in Maui! I ordered the Mochiko Chicken with rice, which was my favorite of the two dishes. It was very tasty, and the texture of the chicken was amazing. I would definitely order this again. I also ordered the pork belly with garlic noodles. The garlic noodles were flavorful and delicious. The pork belly was more on the chewy side rather than crispy, but it paired really well with the garlic noodles. I would definitely order both dishes again! The wait was only about 10 minutes, and the line moved quickly, so the wait wasn't bad at all. Great food, quick service, and definitely worth checking out!

    Pork belly Kau Kau tin with garlic noodles
    Dominic E.

    I really wanted to love this place because I loved Sheldon on Top Chef. but...unfortunately...everything I tried was terrible. I tried teh Kau Kau Tin with pork belly and garlic noodles, the Spicy Chicken Sandwich, and a small mac salad. Generally, the Kau Kau Tin and the mac salad were utterly bland. The mac salad tasted of nothing. The garlic noodles in the Kau Kau tin also lacked flavor. The garlic noodle had the slightest of garlic taste. The pork belly was perfectly cooked and was the best part of the Kau Kau tin and I made sure to make each every piece of that. The Spicy Chicken sandwich was the most disappointing item I tried. The chicken patty was just a VERY FATTY piece of fried chicken. It was terrible. The texture shock alone from biting through crispy crust to gelatinous fat was shocking. But then, the chicken was not seasoned. It was a textural monstrosity that had no flavor. All in all, I'm glad I tried it. I will definitely try it again when back on the island in hopes that this was just a bad day.

    Tin roof was my fav meal on Maui. We tried the mochiko chicken with garlic noodles, spicy chicken sandwich animal style (with pork belly and fried egg) and the clam special with Portuguese sausage. My fav was the chicken sandwich and it was only $13! Such a steal IMO and it was loaded up, so filling!!! We devoured all the food after a long day on the road to Hana. We ordered online in advance so the wait wasn't too bad and it was a quick and easy pick up

    Ask the Community - Tin Roof Maui

    What is Dime Bag?

    Their house made furikake/seasoning mix.

    What is hapa rice?

    Mixture of brown and white rice

    Has anyone tried taking food from here on a flight? Does it get through security without any issues?

    My husband and I took Tin Roof's Mochiko chicken dinners on board a flight from Maui to Oahu this past March 2024 on Hawaiian Airlines with no problem. No issue with security. We were the envy of the people on our flight. ;)

    What is "Animal style" on the Mochiko chicken? Does it cost extra?

    Chicken topped with garlic aioli and scallion ginger sauce, rice has sweet soy and furikake added, not sure if it costs extra

    What are Tin Roof's current business hours? Thanks.

    Ties-sat 10-8. Saturday they close at 4, you can order online to avoid the line through their website

    Any dairy and gluten free options? And do you deliver to Westin Kaanapali?

    Yes! My mom is gluten free and was able to eat with us! Just ask their options and they'll let you know.

    If we order online do we need to get in line when we pickup?

    You will have to wait for them to call your name when its ready. The short ribs are really good. The noodles too!

    Do you accommodate nut and seafood allergies? Does seafood get fried in the same oil as chicken? What kind of oil is used?

    Aloha Adrienne. Seafood is only fried in the same oil when we have a fried seafood special. We do our best to accommodate allergies, please inform the order taker of allergies or leave us notes if you’re placing an order online.

    Is this ony a carryout place?

    Yes. There are some benches outside to sit while you wait or if you want to eat there. It's pretty small so I eat it in the car.

    Hi! Please let me know which entrees to avoid? I can't have ginger. Thank you and looking forward to trying your dishes. Everything looks delicious!

    I do not recall anything on the menu containing ginger but ask the server/bartender

    Do you deliver to the Kahului Airport? We're coming in on a flight from the mainland and connecting to an Inter-island flight. Since you don't have a dining room, we thought we could just order some of your Ono Grindz and eat at the airport.

    Tin Roof is take out only. I don't think Uber Eats or anything like that delivers. If your layover is long enough you can probably catch an Uber/Lyft to the restaurant and back for relatively inexpensive. Just make sure you allow enough time because… 

    I am traveling with 2 kids, and want to try the food here. Is there a spot where we can take the food and eat at like a picnic table nearby?

    There weren't any tables or chairs available inside, outside nor near by to sit on. We ended up taking our food back to our condo.

    Is the mochiko chicken gluten free?

    It is not gluten free. Chop Steak & Garlic Shrimp can be made gluten free upon request. Our Kale Salad comes gluten free.

    Do they take reservations?

    We don't take reservations. We are a takeout restaurant, we have no dining space.

    Do they have gluten free options?

    Aloha Jessica. We can modify our Garlic Shrimp & Chop Steak to be gluten-free. Also, Kale salad already comes gluten free.

    Is the place open on Dec 26th?

    yes, they close 2 pm

    Are you open on Thanksgiving?

    We will be closed on Thanksgiving day and reopen the day after, Friday.

    Are there vegan (no meat, no fish, no dairy) options?

    Aloha Sonnia. We have one vegan item on our menu, that would be the Kale salad. Fresh local kale dressed in a housemade maui onion dressing, kimchi roasted peanuts, maui onion potato chips, and dried cranberries.

    Since it doesn't look like there's much seating inside, any suggestions where we can eat our lunch?

    We honestly took it across the street and ate at the Costco dining area. It was easy and plenty of available seating.

    Gluten free options?

    Yes. We can do Chop Steak & Garlic Shrimp gluten free upon request. Our kale salad also comes gluten free already.

Pies are also pretty reliable for taste. Their pastries are delicious and I do like their new Ube ensamada. The new Ube haupia pie is good too but the filling is very thin. I would be willing to pay more for an inch of haupia and an inch of Ube. My kids did really like it however and the filling was perfect for them. Always check the app for deals like the large spaghetti is good for kids. I always like their plate lunches like Korean chicken and fried chicken. Also like the orange bang drink, burrito, Portuguese bean soup. Service is good as the employees are helpful and friendly.

We arrived and stood in line to order, but you can order ahead of time for pickup and grab your food from one of the lockers that keep it warm. It's also a bakery with pies and other desserts. You can also dine-in. We ordered the loco moco ($14.40), the chicken trio ($19.35), and the spam musubi ($3.85). Some of the dishes had a mini and regular size, but the chicken trio did not. For the loco moco, even the mini was a huge portion. It came with two burger patties, and although they didn't look the best, they tasted fine and the gravy was good. For the chicken trio, the Korean fried chicken was good, the chicken katsu had more outside coating and a thinner chicken layer, and the fried chicken had a crispy exterior and was juicy but a tad salty. The spam slice was on the thinner side and the rice was a little mushy. The food was comforting but compared to the other food on the island it's okay. I'm glad I was able to try it and eat what the locals eat. Even though it was really busy we got our food pretty quickly.

    Looking for a kid and family friendly Restaurant with Local and Filipino Cuisine? Look no further…read moreand head to Tante's Island Cuisine in the heart of Kahului at the Maui Seaside Hotel. Our Ohana and family friends have been eating here for years. They serve Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner. If you're looking for a place to have a small gathering or celebration, they do catering and had a small party near our table (we were told to be quiet during a prayer for that party which we respectfully did). Our family of 7 ordered a variety of food. My nephew is Vegan and there was a Veggie Stir Fry he ordered with Tofu. My Brother in Law who is on the pickier side and likes it "simple" got Beef Teriyaki with Macaroni Salad. And my mom and niece love their Filipino food so mom ordered a Tamarind Soup with Shrimp and Vegetables called Sinigang and my niece ordered a Peanut Sauce dish called Kare Kare. My dad, sister and I stick to our favorites. He got his usual Baby Back Ribs (which I didn't get to picture), my sister got Sautéed Mahi Mahi with Lemon Caper Sauce and I got my usual Local Favorites Combo that had the most tender and savory Beef Teriyaki and crispy Mahi Mahi with Tartar Sauce on a bed of Cabbage. The Molokai Sweet Potato is a must when you get a side but this time, I did crave some greens so I opted for a side salad with Papaya Dressing. Your Meal isn't complete without Dessert! And Filipino Ice Dessert I might add...Halo Halo (which literally translates to "mix mix"). Being the true Fil-American that I am, I don't like to "Mix Mix" because I prefer my Ube Ice Cream in tact lol. I explained this to my Brother in Law from the Mainland who also said this is the first Purple anything he's ever eaten haha! But this is a refreshing ice dessert to end the meal since it has fresh cantaloupe, avocado, coconut, banana, and jellies, and the ice is creamy with an evaporated and condensed milk mix. If you want to "mix mix" let your inner Filipino out! Our visiting family had a great time catching up and enjoyed our yummy meal together. The Filipino aunty servers are always top notch and serve your food with Aloha. We probably only waited 15 minutes or so for the food as well which is always appreciated especially when hungry.
