Definitely a shack on the side of the road with a small parking lot, and some covered outdoor seating. Watch out for the chickens/roosters walking around the lot. We grabbed some apple bananas (teeny bananas) and on the menu for today was $30 smoked pork plates- pork/white rice/salad-local greens,tomatoes,onions with a light dressing. The plate and chopsticks are all biodegradable. So no waste here. The plate was loaded with a good amount of pork. It was tender and not a lot of seasoning but still had a lot of flavor just from the pork itself, the white rice and the lightly dressed salad were great accompaniments. Did think $30 a plate was a little much but after eating it all- worth it. Total island vibes. Not sure of the hours but when we stopped by at 11am they wear open , after 2pm when we passed by they were closed. Btw, CASH ONLY.

Cool to see them cook and prepare everything right here on the side of the hill. From the chop stick to the plates to the food and drink they prep it all right here in front of you. Daughter loved sitting in the "train" to eat and everyone really enjoyed the food. Was really great to have a proper quiet spot to hang out and talk to the people running their business. I would certainly come here again.

Laulima Farm in Maui is the kind of place that makes you wonder why you don't live on a farm and…read moreeat tropical fruit for every meal. The avocado toast was perfection, the red bananas tasted like bananas that finally reached their full potential, and the farm-fresh fruit samples could convert anyone into a produce snob. The drive, however... Let's just say if twisty, narrow one-lane roads were a theme park ride, this one would come with a height requirement and a waiver. It's also a solid trek from the airport -- long enough to question your life choices, but short enough that you'll still arrive excited. Once you get there? Totally worth every curve. Highly recommended. -- Jordan

Food That Feeds Your Soul, Not Just Your Belly…read more I gotta say, I drove all the way from Kīhei 'cause Nalei was straight calling my soul. You ever get that feeling where you just know you need some comfort food and a little peace for your mind? That was me. Life been kinda heavy lately, and I knew the only thing that could help was some real local grinds cooked with love. The drive to Hāna not easy -- twisty roads, narrow turns -- but man, the reward waiting for me on 'Ula'ino Road was worth every mile. Hidden in this quiet little corner, surrounded by lush green and the mountains standing tall, Nalei felt like one oasis away from the noise of the world. The breeze was cool, the air smelled clean, and I could literally feel my stress just melt away. Then came the food -- ho, unreal. Their Aloha Sunrise special hit all the right spots. Fluffy eggs, smoky crispy bacon, and that Ono Portuguese sausage... everything cooked with so much aloha, you can taste it. Made me smile and think of my Tūtū Mā and Papa -- that kind of food that brings you right back to your roots. And the saimin? Bro... that was the real deal. The broth warm your soul, the noodles cooked perfect, and all the toppings -- spam, eggs, char siu, kamaboko, green onions -- everything came together so Ono. The portions big too! I was full but still didn't wanna stop eating. Best part -- the prices are affordable, not gonna leave your pocket puka or your stomach hungry. For real, you get more than your money's worth -- you get fed with love. When I left, I wasn't just full -- I was content. My heart felt light again. That's what Nalei does. It's not just food -- it's home, it's comfort, it's aloha served on a plate.

The tour took us to 8-10 establishments in the town of Paia. We tried various food items from various restaurants...with historical commentary along the way. We received a 10% off card to use at any of the participating establishments we visited. The tour lasted 2 hours and was a good overview of the town. Will book a tour with the company again in a future visit! Before our arrival to the island, I have been in constant contact via email with the owner, Cindi. She was prompt in answering questions prior to the tour. Highly recommended!

The food offerings are more sweet than savory, so keep that in mind if you are thinking of participating.

Plus, I personally think the price is really reasonable.

TAKE MY MONEY!…read more Without a doubt this is the absolute best Thai food my wife and I have ever gotten. The prices are extremely fair and the woman who owns this truck quite literally doesn't allow you to tip. She takes your card and skips the tip section on the service iPad. My wife and I went here three separate times on our honeymoon in Hawaii and we wished we had gone more. We actually showed up after hours one day and the owner stayed open an extra 40 minutes to make us our food. She is genuinely so kind and so skilled. We tried the pineapple fried rice, the mahi curry, the massaman curry, papaya salad, green mango salad, pad thai and the mahi ginger stir fry. Each item is fresh and delicious. 10/10, no notes. The seating is outside and secluded. Very relaxed and calm. The seating is all shaded by large trees and some canopy style canvas. On our expansive list of foods we got on the island, this is at the very top. Please stop by and get yourself some yummy Thai food.

It doesn't have the over abundance of veggies and meat. Finally we had the green curry, another delicious dish. It has subtle spice, but a good depth of flavor. Personally. It's too spicy for me, but my Canadian stomach is weak on spice Just fyi, you can access it through the road. Google map has us go through a grassy patch from the side of it.
