    Tried this spot after it was recommended to us by a local! We seemed to just beat the lunch rush (we came around 11:00am) because right after we sat down with our food, an onrush of tourists arrived and the line stretched into the parking lot. We tried the fish tacos, kahlua pork fried rice, and chicken katsu. We also wanted to give the acai a try but made the mistake of not ordering our first time around, and by the time we wanted it, the wait was too long. My favorite was the pork fried rice. It came with a generous protion of meat and egg, which complimented the sweet soy rice very nicely The katsu was also well done, although missed the fresh crunch I was hoping for. The mac salad was also a little al dente. The tacos were decent as well, but I'd probably pass up on these next time. Outdoor seating was spacious with hand sanitizer bottles provided at each table. There was also a small shop for tourists to purchase to-go items like banana bread and cookies

    Hey, solid tacos after a long day of hitting all the trails on the West side of Maui. Give them a stop and get the fish tacos and the carne asada tacos. Not fast, but hits the spot and nice outdoor seating.

    Hawaiian Hot Dog
    Alora M.

    I would never before have thought about eating a hot dog with pineapple, onions, and sriracha aoli, but I did... and it wasn't too bad. We had just survived driving the "deadliest highway on Maui" Kahekili Highway (IYKYK), and we needed to stop, catch our breath, and grab a little something to eat. We saw the road signs and stopped here. It's a nice little spot just outside a macadamia nut orchard (where you can take a tour btw), and we settled down with a soda and a hot dog to collect ourselves. Service was very friendly, and they answered all our questions. The dog was a bit overcooked, but the fries were fresh and the toppings were interesting. I wish I would have been a little more hungry so we might have tried something else, but the hot dogs hit the spot before continuing on our way to the airport for our flight out. Come sit for a while. Enjoy the outdoors. Enjoy the food.

    Ulu smash burger
    Randee L.

    The food was delicious and was reasonably loves compared to every other restaurant establishment. Plus, its farm to table ingredients and everything was fresh and flavorful. We got the special (teriyaki chicken tacos) and the ulu smash (2 patty burger). The burger was so good and had a Lilokoi Dijon spread that was heavenly. The tacos were also fresh and delicious and the fries were perfectly crispy!

    New menu!!! Ginger chicken salad still my favorite!!
    Sami J.

    Ginger chicken salad amazing!! Ulu smash so ono Pork loco moco super tasty!Sunday for dessert!! So full but ready to come back and try all the new items!!

    The tropical smoothie $11 was very good with strawberry, banana, papaya, pineapple, dragon fruit, blueberry. It was premade and very tasty and fresh and was filling. The mango nectar juice was $5 but it was not fresh squeezed from a mango. They have a dwarf coconut farm. Feral chickens abound who don't bug you. Outdoor seating and bathrooms.

    Macadamia nut crusted fish salad and flour something chicken.

    Very nice service and location with a nice setup right on the farm. The food was very good and healthy options fresh from the farm are lovely as is the location. Service was nice too as they described all the choices before we ordered. I'd definitely recommend if in the area. Aloha

    kahlua pork fried rice mahi tacos chicken katsu
    Nicole L.

    9/10 everything pretty solid, the employees are super sweet and nice! good vibes - loco moco 9.5/10: probably the best loco moco i've had, but i only had it once before lol. it wasn't too salty, came out nice and fresh. good flavor! - mahi tacos 7/10: there was only 1 tortilla so it ripped :( it was good, but nothing super special. - kahlua pork fried rice 9.5/10: fire. kinda greasy from the pork but that's what made it good! the rice was crispy in some areas and had great flavor. egg on it was good too. - chicken katsu 8.5/10: it was good but pretty standard... i thought the chicken lacked a bit of flavor and were smaller slices. wouldn't get again bc i liked the other things better!

    Coconut Shrimp!

    Best food on the island! Definitely a must try if you're visiting. The owner is super welcoming and hospitable too (:

    Mac nut crusted mahi mahi salad (gluten free)
    Delilah W.

    Ula Ula is a good stop after the airport! The Mac nut crusted mahi mahi salad was quite good and gluten free! The pesto on the fish is really yummy. My dad got the Ula Ula burger and said it was okay! The piece of pineapple on it was good but meat was a bit overdone. The service was quick and friendly, and it was nice to sit outside after a long plane ride!

    Pricey but worth it for fresh, delicious and nutritious goodness from the working farm. Great place to stop and grab a quick and refreshing snack before or after golf at Waiehu.

    Grilled Cajun Mahi Mahi with mango papaya slaw, greens over rice.
    Bethani E.

    Picked up lunch yesterday on a weekday. I ordered the grilled Cajun Mahi Mahi and my husband ordered the loco moco. The fish plate was cooked to perfection. Flaky and seasoned well and topped with a mango papaya salsa with micro greens and served with green salad and steamed white rice. My husband's loco moco was delicious. Hamburger cooked medium, gravy was on point and eggs were over medium as requested. Good portions and everything was fresh and tasty. Will definitely come back for another visit.

    Probably the best burger I've ever had in my life. Everyone was very friendly. The food was fantastic.

Lots of seating, good for groups. You order then sit (I believe) as thats what most people were doing.

It included rice, mac salad,1 slice spam, Mochiko Chicken, BBQ Beef, and 2 large pieces of Shrimp Katsu. Mochiko Chicken is light and crispy and the Shrimp Katsu was battered and huge. The BBQ Beef was succulent and juicy however the sauce wasn't overwhelming. Spam is spam. The rice was a tad dry however the mac salad was good. I did not eat any of the other plates however since all were empty, Im assuming it was Ono. Next to the register there is a display case with various desserts. The next day going home, we stopped by to grab some dessert. The Lava Rocks come in a pair at $5.50. Moist, soft and super chocolaty. The chocolate haupia bar was very nice and not overly sweet. The Chantilly brownie was very chocolaty with a hint of Chantilly and nuts only on top. Both bars were a Shareable size. Overall the staff is very helpful and friendly, the restaurant itself, very bright & open and the food was very Ono! Highly recommend.

    I really wanted to love this place because I loved Sheldon on Top Chef…read more 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.

On this trip we had the Lunch Special which was the Waygu loco moco that came with white rice and Mac salad and two eggs over easy. The Wagyu burgers were perfect not over seasoned and the eggs were perfectly cooked. Still runny on the inside. I had the mis fish which was an ahi today. I liked the fact that the Miso was not overwhelming they got them mix perfect and the broccoli was perfectly cooked and it came with a scoop of white rice. Everything was perfectly done and just the right amount of food. The price is still reasonable for the quality of the food you are getting and the service was great even though there was only one waitress and she was doing double duty as hostess. She was very pleasant and the service is some of the best I have had on Maui. I like how the new place has a nice local feel while having that new but welcoming aura. I will definitely be going back because I like to support local and these guys are making some great food for reasonable prices. I definitely recommend these guys and I will definitely be going back. So much more menu items to try.

What I enjoyed about this dish was the diced maui onion that offset the citrus from the ponzu. The flavors are light, and refreshing. The most disappointing was the crispy chicken. I thought it was too salty, but that's my preference and salt tolerance. The miso butterfish was also a great dish. The fish was buttery and flavored well. Not too saucy but the perfect amount of sauce. Service: Service is friendly, like most of the restaurants on Maui. The food was served in a timely manner. The ambiance is casual and felt like a bar restaurant. Overall, I'm not sure if I would return. After ordering 6-7 dishes, I wanted to be blown away by at least 4-5 of them, but that wasn't the case.
