    Located in the Honoapiilani Food Truck Park, Chunky Paniolo got me with their giant sign saying prime rib and bbq. We got one of their combos which came with prime rib and another main dish which we got ribs. Plate came with some rice, Mac salad, and au jus. I think for all of this it came out to around $30 which is great whenever you get prime rib. For coming out of a truck, the prime rib was more than decent for the price. The crust had a good flavor, and the only thing I was missing was some horseradish. The ribs were alright, not fall off the bone, and came cold which was a bummer. Both dishes actually came out room temperature, which I think is a room for improvement. I think the food is closer to a 3.5/5 but rounding up to 4 because I feel like it's a solid value considering this part of Maui is pretty pricey and the prime rib satisfied my craving.

    Stopped by the group of food trucks, and decided to give Chunky Paniolo a try. I ordered their prime rib dinner with rice and Mac salad for sides. Took the dinner back to my nearby hotel and wolfed it down. Really good prime rib for any restaurant and pressed it came from a food truck.

    Located in the food truck park. The combo #2 with drink was $33- pricey compared to other bbq plate joints. The kalua pork and cabbage was good, but the ribs were tough and Mac salad had no flavor.

    Saw the 5 stars and I was in the area and had try it…read more.. I pulled up to a lot with a lot of parking. The area was a little empty so slightly worried about my food choices... Walked up to the truck and saw a standard bbq menu. Noticed everything that you add brisket to was an additional $8 per order. Kinda pricey, but Hawai'i. Ordered a 1 choice with a side and added on a homemade sausage link. Selected the homemade Mac and cheese as a side as that's classic and waited a bit for my food... I don't remember the actual cost but it was around $30 for my plate after everything was said and done... Got my food and found a table. Opened it up and was immediately underwhelmed. The brisket looked dry and was from the day before. The sausage looked mid. The Mac and cheese looked extremely loose. All the items had the slightest smoke... Now these are all preference things and this food wasn't for me. Overall not my type of place to the price. Won't go too far into detail but give it a try if you like bbq'ish...

    The cornbread is a must! We enjoyed it so much that we didn't get to take a picture…read more Brisket was so tender and the flavor of the ribs were so delicious! There is a magic rub used for these ribs! We placed the phone order and it was ready for us to pick up in tine for lunch. Thank you for the great service and even greater food! We will be back again for cornbread and to try the chicken and pulled pork!

    On my first trip to Maui, I was excited to try as many local food spots as possible, and Da Soriano…read moreGrindz ended up being one of the highlights of the entire trip. I was immediately intrigued by the calamansi pork -- an item I had never seen it on a menu before. One bite and I was hooked. The pork was tender and flavorful, and the bright, citrusy calamansi added a unique tang that made the dish completely unforgettable. It was so good that I'm still thinking about it after coming home. We also tried the pancit noodles, pork sisig, and mochiko chicken, and every dish was excellent. The pancit was packed with flavor, the sisig was gelatinous (fir those who are into it), and the mochiko chicken was crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and impossible to stop eating. For my first visit to Maui and my first time trying Da Soriano Grindz, this food truck set the bar incredibly high. If you're visiting Maui and want amazing Filipino food that's a little different from what you'll find elsewhere, don't skip this spot. The calamansi pork alone is worth the trip.

    I've been searching for the best Halo Halo on Maui and I think I've found it here. Nice ube ice…read morecream on top and then the shaved ice was well proportioned with the milk, leche flan, coconut, cantaloupe and other goodies. One of the owners, Sharon, took our order and she made us feel welcomed. The location had ample parking, located in an easily accessible food truck pod which was clean and inviting. Ambiance was low key and fun.

This is honestly the best thing we have eaten here on the island all week!! ( and we didn't even eat it fresh ) on top of that the crew was so polite and loaded us up with all the add ons we needed for the trip! Best food and experience ever!!! keep up the great work!!! We stopped in on 9/2/26

The original chef is still working the kitchen and still takes pride in his delicious food. If you get lucky like we did, you might even see him come around to the front and say hi. He was so low-key about it that we didn't realize who we had seen until it clicked in our heads that we just saw him on Guy Fieri's Dives Diners and Drive ins! Got the: 1. deep fried spam musubi- a crowd favorite, especially for those who like deep fried foods And of course, the Must gets: 2.

    Food is 5-star. Help and food runners are 5-star…read more For first time visitors, you pay before seating so read the menu before you hit the reception. Self service on drinks, food is delivered and they check on you regularly AFTER you receive your food order. Love this place, been visiting Kihei for decades and never found Nalu's before. Try it and you'll never regret it. Those other cafes on the road can't compare to this joint for breakfast. (Will update for happy hour later, but menu looks great.)

    Wow! Such an amazing breakfast spot! Probably great for other meals, but we were there for…read morebreakfast today and I'm happy we ended out trip in Maui on a high note. Patio table was in the shade, line moved fast, excellent service, and quick delivery of our food. I got the Bodacious Bagel & Lox. Outstanding! When I ordered the cashier did tell me that the egg on the menu was a mis-print. Glad she let me know up front, but wondering why it's still described that way on the website. I also ordered a mimosa with cranberry juice. I was told to give the bartender a couple minutes to make it and then where to pick it up. Stood there for a few minutes with no bartender insight but a glass of sparkling wine on the bar. When she finally arrived she said there was no juice type listed on the receipt. The bagel and arugula salad that came with it were amazing! Hubby got scrambled eggs and their furiaki potatoes. Great seasoning, he thought they were a little heavy on the garlic. Very friendly staff and for an open-air restaurant seemed clean, even with the chickens coming and going. We also didn't like that we were expected to add a tip when ordering. Maybe a Hawaii thing, but I tip on service, so being expected to tip when placing an order automatically makes me tip lower since I don't know what to expect. But left cash after. Don't know who picked it up or if it was pooled.
