This was right off the road and super local vibes. The service was great and honestly for how much we ordered we got our food pretty fast. We did get there maybe 30-45 min before close so we didn't get to try the chicken. However, what we got was super good. We got the grilled kalbi ribs and the hamburger steak plate. The kalbi ribs were super tender and the sauce was perfect. Not too sweet and not too overpowering to where I could still taste the beef. The hamburger steak wasn't anything super special but still good. No complaints on it. The Mac salad was great but I wish they had another side instead of just corn. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The view where we sat was nice but the only complaint I had was the amount of flies where we sat.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I didn't bring down the rating because I didn't think it was part of the place but if you don't mind that, it's a nice spot to eat. If you do then prepare to eat in the car or somewhere else haha This place was super good and although it wasn't anything crazy special it deserves 5 stars for me. read more

We found this spot through a local recommendation at our Airbnb, so we decided to give it a try. We ordered a BBQ combo plate with chicken and kalbi beef, along with a lau lau pork plate. Maybe we were just extra hungry, but we felt like the combo could've used one more piece of kalbi, though everything was still really delicious. The lau lau pork was juicy and tender, and paired perfectly with the lomi lomi and mac salad. [[HIGHLIGHT]]There are picnic tables in the parking lot where you can enjoy your meal, and you might even be greeted by a cute kitty hoping to share your food.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Waikapu On 30 - Hawaiian plate - Hawaiian Near Me - Wailuku, Hawaii

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Was looking for a local spot while in Maui and we saw online that this was a good one. Definitely got the local vibes from this; its pretty much a house on the side of the highway, you order and get your food from a window, and sit outside on some benches and enjoy the view.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I got recommended the pork lau lau lunch plate and my gf got the saimin. Ton of food and we were stuffed afterwards. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The view is nice but be prepared for sitting outside under trees if you plan to eat here.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

We loved this spot on our trip to Maui! Located off 30 in an unassuming location, this spot serves some of the best authentic Hawaiian rice plates and bbq. [[HIGHLIGHT]]There's plenty of parking in their lot with outdoor benches.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We came here twice on our trip, including Friday when they have Hawaiian bbq. First time we came here we got plate of shoyu chicken and loco Moco. The best shoyu chicken with meat falling off the bone! This came with a side of rice and Mac salad. The second time we came here we tried mixed bbq plate with chicken and beef ribs - amazing marinade! I also loved their kimchi side. We also tried the pork lau Lau which is honestly the best we've ever had. Tender and flavorful pork! I also recommend their haupia potato pie. Not too sweet! Our meal was sooo amazing, we are going to recommend this to all our friends and family visiting the area. This is a local family owned spot too. read more

The food is amazing! We have only tried their burgers and macaroni salad but the burgers were so good, we had to get a couple for dinner to go. Next time I will try the loco moco or chicken.

On our way back from Kihei, we chose to drive the more beautiful way through Waikapu and Wailuku, to Upcountry. Wanting an early lunch, we decided to stop at this roadside restaurant I had read good reviews about. It was before 11 in the morning, so we were the only customers. That changed soon enough right after we sat down to eat on one of the picnic tables on the farside of the big parking lot. We both decided on the chow fun because we love that dish and because we wanted to taste their take on it. We were not disappointed. No bean sprouts, yay, and not too greasy. It was the perfect local lunch, of which they offer many. Service was friendly, and we plan to go back and try something else next time we're down that way, despite the fact that they're Packers fans read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Small little hole in the wall kind establishment just off the side of the road.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Order at the window and eat on the benches right outside or picnic tables near the parking lot.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Service was super quick and we got our food in a matter of just a few minutes. Ordered a loco moco (two scoop rice, one patty, and egg). Homemade gravy was winnahs. Hamburger patty was homemade too but it was a little dry -- good flavor though. Next time I'm on Maui, I'd stop by again and try something else. read more

Another local gem! I love getting the saimin and kalbi plate on weekends! Love how you can just pull up and order.

My husband was in search of authentic lau lau and finally found this location. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It has a good sized parking lot and several picnic tables under a tree with views of the valley and ocean.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The Hubbs had pork lau lau with traditional mac salad and rice. I had the mini shoyu chicken. Everything was delicious. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The only reason they did not get 5 stars is there is no public restroom.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] And it's a long drive for us tourists. But still worth it. read more

I cannot stressed that enough!) - Combo BBQ Plate (straight from their grill, too!) - A side of FRESH poi Honestly, hands down, the meatiest laulau I had during my Maui trip.

We come by to get their Bake Chicken every time we come on this island. This joint is a gem on the side of the road. Their baked chicken is well flavored, the skin is yummy. And the best part is probably the gravy on top. Good ole comfort food. We got an over easy egg on top this time. They have some picnic benches if you want to eat there, not the greatest. No frills, no thrills. read more

Off to the side of the road. Talk about local! Friendly service and great food for a good price. Got a loco moco and saimin for a quick bite before the airport. It's a take out spot with no bathrooms or seating. We got the food piping hot and ate a few bites in the car. read more

I mean it takes a lot for me to sit down and actually plan out when I'm going to visit a restaurant based on their daily specials. You better be pretty damn special to make me waste what little brain cells I have left to do that... But I did that three times for this restaurant. This was the only restaurant we even visited that many times in our month long stay in Maui. Three times! I'll just say that there's nothing that they don't make here that's not as good or better than any other restaurant we visited on the island. I love their lau lau, but I also loved everything else we had here. If you only have time to visit one restaurant on Maui (that's not a noodle shop or shave ice) this is the one you visit... read more

Been coming here for years. Still love the food. My favorite dish is still the Shoyu chicken. It's fall off the bone Shoyu chicken comes with rice, macaroni salad and corn. It's an amazing plate lunch. Some things that have changed there is that it is walk up window instead of going inside. These days I've been getting the "mini" version which only comes with one side and rice but still really filling. My new favorite item is the Kimchi Mein. It's a delicious bowl of ramen with kimchi. Hope other people will enjoy the spicy soup as much as I do. Their banana cream pie and desserts are awesome. I love bringing friends here and recently brought 5 people to check it out. They all loved it. read more

Rushed straight off the plane and right to this locally recommended spot for some delish bbq chicken and saimin. Due to plane delays from on both ends of our trip we left the rental car facility and thought we'd be out of luck since they close at 2 pm. However, we decided to call in case their posted hours were wrong. Their answered and said their hours were right but they'd still take the order and to drive safely. It was so sweet of them to do so. When we arrived our lunch was ready. It was such an awesome plate with bbq chicken piled high with a delicious saucy flavor and pull apart chicken. It also came with a bed of yummy rice, onions, macaroni salad, and corn. The view from their tables was awesome too. Definitely a special place that made our time in Maui epic from the start. read more

Update: stopped by again on a Friday to check out the BBQ specials (every Friday). Got the chicken plate, which was a lot of food for $20, definitely enough for 2 meals for me. The chicken was well seasoned and delicious, and the uncles manning the grill were sweet and friendly. Check um out! read more

In case you have some time left over, make sure to visit this place. Waikapu is one of the most favorite spots for people living in the area since it has a modest menu but good servings. Lau lau and loco moco are the items we always order here--if you are a local you have to know. At times the place can be full but the service is very quick. read more

Local mom and pop feels with yummy plate lunch. One of the few places in Maui that offer Hawaiian food. Don't blink cuz you'll miss this tiny window operation on the side of the road. Take out only but there are a few, and I mean few as in not much, picnic tables in the parking lot area. I think Friday is the day they guarantee to have Hawaiian food, and BBQ k ribs. read more

Great mom and pop joint. The hawaiian plate was my favorite. I've had some good and bad lau lau bit this was the best I have ever had. Quick joint to grab a bite to eat and be on ur way. The lomi lomi was a great refreshing bite and the mac salad was a great compliment to an overall excellent dish I look forward to going back and keep trying there whole menu. read more

The ultimate "hole in the wall" mixed plate food in Maui. We ordered the kimchee mein and bbq mixed plate (kalbi and teriyaki chicken) along with a spam musubi. Everything was hot and delicious and came out quickly. There is a very nice seating area on the other side of the parking lot where you can look out towards upcountry and the ocean.

Best Loco Moco on the Island! Food is out of this world, [[HIGHLIGHT]]great place for lunch.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] A must!!!

It's time to update my review of this place called - "Waikapu On 30" gang, as it's been 4.5 years since I last came here. I guess the main reason why I didn't come back to "Waikapu On 30" is because the last time I ate a plate lunch here, I was totally grossed out by how much oil was swimming at the bottom of my Styrofoam food container! AIYAH! Well yesterday I made a return visit, and I am so happy to report back that the Shoyu Chicken plate I ate was as SPECTACULAR as the 1st time I had it, minus all the oil! Lol! Big PROPS to this business for switching over & using an environmental friendly food container too. I loved how they do their Shoyu Chicken here..........as they use a high quality dark shoyu, and you can tell that they stewed it for a very long time as the chicken meat easily falls off the bone. The ginger that they used in the shoyu sauce only enhances the taste of the Shoyu Chicken! YUM!!! The menu here is pretty simple as they don't offer an array of items........in fact they only serve (4) standard items until it's gone. The standards are - 1. Shoyu Chicken 2. Baked Chicken 3. Hamburger Steak 4. Pork Lau Lau 5. And the 5th food item is "rotated" depending on what day you come here, as it could be - Meatloaf, Hamburger Curry, Luau Stew, Pot Roast Pork, Beef Stew, or a Catch of the Day (fish)........just check on what day you're coming here. Regardless, I am so happy that the Shoyu Chicken is on their daily menu, as I could eat this everyday! Yum! read more
