    Garlic Noodles
    Alvin L.

    5 mins away from the airport. Ordered online and was ready once I arrived. Picked up to enjoy at the airport before I departure flight and it hit the spot. Comfort food / better than anything we could get at the airport. The mochiko chicken with brown rice / cabbage was great and the kids enjoyed the garlic noodles. Will ask for chilli oil next time if they have it to add a kick of flavors. Will do this again upon arrival for a quick bite and upon departure on travel day. Highly recommend for takeout

    Garlic Shrimp

    We had high hopes after seeing videos, reading reviews, and being a huge fan of Sheldon from Top Chef. Unfortunately we didn't get anything close to what we expected You will be greeted with a line. It does move fairly quickly. There isn't any shade so keep that in mind The person working the window was friendly and was doing their best to keep it moving. I ordered the garlic shrimp with garlic noodles and Mac salad. We also ordered a spicy chicken sandwich. After a brief wait we got our food. The moment was here! We were instantly like whhhhhhaaaaat is going on. My shrimp were mealy and way overcooked. The Mac salad was bland and flavorless. The spicy chicken sandwich was so fatty that I took one bite and was done. It was slimy in texture The one thing I did love was the salted cabbage. Had I known I would have ordered a full plate of it. After all of the hype and expectations I would not be in any hurry to come back after our initial experience. Maybe we caught them on an off day?!?!?!?!

    Mochiko Chicken

    Tin Roof has been a staple of the island for years and Chef Sheldon has done a great job representing island culture with his comforting meals and great service from the team. I got the mochiko chicken on the salad and it was such a hearty serving I couldn't finish it (definitely shareable). Mac salad is great too. It's a pickup place so no place to sit down so definitely be ready to take your food to go and enjoy it in a park or a nearby beach! There are a few places somewhat close by if you have a car. Lines can get long but order online and pickup is the right way to be able to get your food quickly.... I was able to get my order right away!

    Tin Roof has been hyper popular lately for tourist and locals alike. I had many friends recommend this place to me so we had to try it. We ordered: Mochoco Chicken, Dry Mein and Saimen. The service was normal, there was no pave to eat inside you so order at a fake out window. It was hot and no place to sit down and eat. You had to buy and eat inside your car or take it somewhere else. Chicken Mochoco was super flavorful and crispy. I loved the ingredients they had and they fried their chicken. The sauce was a little saucy and I would have gotten rice instead of garlic noodles which were underwhelming. Overall 4/5 for chicken mochoko. The dry mein and Saimen were mid. Not great. Not terrible but I would order something else. It was also expensive for those two dishes and so I would appropriately price those and the food was generic with those two ordered. Would I return, if I was hungry and in the area the Mochoco Chicken was good. But I didn't have any time to try anybting else. The Saimen and Dry Mein were Gm very very generic. So that's why I gave it a 5 stars. I know to go orders is popular in Maui and it's more expensive to open a store so I would recommend investing in one where people can really enjoy your food. Probably can charge more!

    Mochiko Chicken

    I think the ratings already speak for themselves- however I feel a need to share how truly delicious this food was! We stopped by Tin Roof on our way to the airport. We got there right when it opened so the line was short. The food only took about 10 minutes before it was ready. I had the Poke- Spicy Ahi with Rice and my partner had the Mochiko Chicken. The Poke was absolutely divine. Buttery, fresh, melt in your mouth Ahi with a flavorful creamy spicy sauce. The Chicken was also delicious. Both came with very generous portions. Highly recommend this for a quick, high-quality meal!

    Roast Pork and a side of garlic shrimp

    Tin Roof came highly recommended by several locals, so it quickly made its way onto our Maui food list. Whenever residents consistently point visitors toward a restaurant, expectations naturally get pretty high, and we were excited to see what all the buzz was about. We ordered two of their most popular dishes: the mochiko chicken and the crispy pork. Both were prepared well, tasted fresh, and featured quality ingredients. The mochiko chicken was tender with a nice balance of sweet and savory flavors, while the crispy pork was satisfying and well-executed. That said, while everything was good, neither dish really stood out as exceptional. Given the enthusiastic recommendations and the restaurant's reputation, I was expecting something a little more memorable. The food was enjoyable and certainly worth trying, but it wasn't a meal that left us talking about it for the rest of the trip. Overall, Tin Roof serves fresh, flavorful food and I can understand why it's a local favorite for a quick meal. While it didn't quite live up to the hype for me personally, I'm still glad we stopped by and gave it a try.

    Located conveniently by the airport. So if you are just arriving here, definitely make a stop. Highly recommend ordering online to pick up. There will be a line. No dining area. Thats why we are in the car. LOL Our favorite thing to eat is the mochiko chicken. We ordered it with the garlic noodles. Soooo good. That was definitely my favorite of what we ordered. I definitely enjoyed the pork belly. But you gotta eat it fast because it's not as tender when it gets cold. The fat chow funn was a little rubbery. I could have done without the Mac salad; it was bland. All in all, definitely a good place to try.

    First stop after landing at the airport. Also nearby the airport. To-go only. Missed the lunch rush so we walked right up. We got the fish sandwich which is like an elevated fish-o-fillet. The fish was crispy yet moist inside. We got the mochiko chicken and subbed the rice with garlic noodles and made it animal style. Really tasty! Took it to eat nearby at Kanaha beach park which is 5 min away and you get ocean views and they have a picnic table too. You can also order ahead. Staff was friendly.

    mochiko chicken ($14) - we added garlic noodles for $4 extra and it was a great decision - i like how the noodles werent clumped together and were perfectly garlicky - the chicken was absolutely DELECTABLE; while the exterior was extremely crunchy and well fried, the interior was still succulent - not too oily and not overdone - a standout dish immediately after one bite pork belly ($14) - this is unfortunately a pork belly that went wrong in every aspect - the meat was just so so dry, probably the driest pork belly ive ever had in my life, so dry i had a hard time biting and chewing through - not only was it overcooked but it also wasn't crispy enough; it was crunchy from the fact that it was overcooked and it lacked any sort of flavor - the vegetables on the side felt like extra and unnecessary side characters that didn't add or enhance the dish in any way rating: 3.8/5 - high 3 mainly driven by the impeccable chicken and below 4 because they butchered the pork belly even though it isn't a hard dish to begin with given that it has a lot of fat and flavor - the price is crazily affordable though, probably the cheapest meal we've had on maui - no ambiance; it's a take out place located within a plaza - welcoming service and quick IG: @nom.noms.only

    Went to the local favorite Tim roof around noon on a Thursday. There was a line out the door but they take orders fast and are very friendly! People seemed excited for their food and willing to wait. It was a nice vibe. As a vegetarian, I was able to request the Garlic noodles vegetarian. The kale salad comes vegan. The wait for the food was maybe 15-20 minutes. We took the takeout to a nearby beach to picnic. The kale salad was pretty good, I would have wanted more dressing. The garlic noodles were tasty! This is takeout only. There are no tables to sit and eat. Its in a plaza with parking. Check out the cute family owned gallery next door for artsy gifts/souvenirs while you wait.

    Visiting from San Diego and looked up on yelp for food. I would say if you don't mind eating on the curb or your car it's good. If you get the shrimp it's not peeled so not car friendly. We are too refined to eat here again. If you're a local and can take it home it's a great place. I feel with as good a rating they should get a restaurant or at least empty the trash outside their pick up line.

    Side of Mac Salad (good)
    Kelly D.

    Everywhere on Yelp and Reddit, people were saying this was a MUST when coming to Maui -- whether if it's stopping by after they landed or grabbing a plate before they took off, this was the place to be. Thank goodness, they have online ordering because it saves so much time and hassle. You can even order in advance for the next day! They're pretty on the dot when it comes to the time but if you do arrive earlier than your pick-up time, let them know so that they can get it started. They supposedly send a text when your food is ready but I think it's best to wait nearby when it's about that time to hear them call your name out I wanted to try a little bit of everything: Pork Belly Plate, Spicy Ahi Poke w/ Kale Salad, Fish Sando, and a side of Mac Salad. We loved every bite but my favorite would have to be the Spicy Ahi Poke; big chunks with a bite of freshness every time. The portions were bigger than we expected and we left feeling STUFFED. I wish we could of came back because there's still more on their menu I'd like to try out next time! They are strictly take-out so it's best to go to a nearby park after grabbing your food.

    Our first meal in Maui had to be here from all the videos I've seen on social media. Garlic noodles were amazing! Paired with their mochiko chicken and it makes the perfect plate. We ordered regular portion sizes of various items to try and this all came out to about $45 which isn't too bad. They get pretty crowded so try and time it before or after peak hours, and no tables so most either take it togo or eat on their cars. It's right across the street from costco so we took our food to the food court there

    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.

    Zippy's is such a reliable local spot. Hubby got the Zip Pac Deluxe, and I got the Chicken Trio,…read morewhich is perfect for when you can't decide between Korean chicken or chicken katsu. Why choose? Get both, plus a piece of their classic fried chicken. The last few times I've gotten the chicken katsu at Zippy's, I've been pleasantly surprised. The chicken was tender and the breading was crispy. Sometimes you go to a plate lunch place and the katsu is all skin and no meat, but not here. Everything came with the usual rice and mac salad, and it hit the spot. One note: normally we eat on the restaurant side, but this time the host seemed to be in a mood and wasn't very friendly. So we opted for the takeout side instead, where the service was much warmer, and the food was just as ono. Every place has an off day, and it won't stop us from coming back.

    This review is for a dinner time visit on June 25th (probably 6pm-ish)…read more I've been to Zippy's before, but it was my first time at this location. Searched on Yelp to see if there was a Zippy's on Maui, and was surprised to see it only had 3.5 stars. I was like, "But why? Zippy's is so good!" When we got there, someone in our party greeted the hostess and told her our group size. She scoffed, "Well, I don't see a name!!" I thought to myself, "Ohhhh, that's why." Apparently you have to type in your name or else the hostess will let her pettiness out. Go get a massage or eat a Snickers or something. Jeebus. Rude hostess aside, our waitress was great. Sorry I didn't catch any names. Food was also great. Just like the Zippy's I'm used to. People saying this is Hawaii's version of Denny's or IHOP are doing Zippy's a bit of a disservice. It's a diner, yes, but the food quality is much better. Plenty of seating on a Thursday night. Parking lot had lots of spaces available too. I'm sure it's busier on the weekends.

We've been coming here for years and I've always enjoyed my experiences here, but last night I had a dish that compelled me to write a review. The oxtail soup which is listed as a favorite is a dish I've been eyeing for a while, but it's usually been too warm for me to crave it. But last night was the night. I'm getting over a cold and it's been raining off and on for weeks. The bowl arrived at the table with a plate underneath - smart move because it takes some work to eat oxtail soup. Armed with my fork and spoon, I went at it. The first taste floored me. It was perfectly seasoned and I could taste the fresh ginger, the broth was a beautiful brown color, there was plenty of napa cabbage and it came with a dish of a scoop of glossy steamed rice and steamed carrots, zucchini and broccoli. Our waitress offered to bring over condiments so I went for the soy sauce - sprinkled on the rice and veggies, I noticed that the veggies might have had a little sesame oil flavor on them so that made me happy. A spoonful of rice dunked into the broth with some of the tender fall of the bone oxtail meat, and a little crunch of the napa cabbage and I was in absolute heaven. I tasted my husband's pork adobo and that was equally as delicious as always. But that soup - that's what really did it for me last night and stays with me today. I walked out of Tante's with a swollen and happy belly and a fresh, tiny piece of ginger stuck between my teeth...a treat for later.
