    This is Kihei's local Kava bar. It is my hangout. We love it. There's live music. They also have karaoke and there's Maui Fish Company fish truck right outside as well. walk up to the bar and order your drinks open seating.

    Kava Santa

    Friends invited us to enjoy kava with them during their Sunday football time. Just in case you aren't quite sure where it is from the main road, Haleakava is tucked away in the middle of the Aloaa Open Market shops with parking in the back. I was first struck by the absolutely stunning decor. From the carved etching in the bowls to the stunning kava-sharing mural to the hand-dyed and designed Kapa tapestry on the wall, there was so much beauty to take in. Junior was serving and warmly welcomed us while we waited for our friends to join us. When they arrived, we enjoyed a half shell of the Tonga kava to start our gathering. Afterward, each of us tried a different beverage. I got the raspberry lemonade with green maeng da, a perfect drink to sip while we talked story. Later in the afternoon, we had another round of kava. I decided I would try the arnold kalmer. This was my favorite! It was so delicious, and I even got a jar to go. They do have some snacks available. My husband tried the "hulapeño" chips and really liked them. Junior really made our first experience to Haleakava a great one. We will definitely be back!

    I'm a caseworker that works with fire survivors and drink the traditional kava to relax my body and mind allowing me to slow down and heal. The kava is high quality and always freshly extracted same-day. Hold it under your tongue for a minute or two for a quicker and more potent effect. When I do this, I can feel my body pain melting away. The owner has been making kava his entire life and takes his practice very seriously which I respect. If the environment is too overstimulating, ask for your drink/bowl to-go. They are very kind and understanding about this

    Always the best spot to cruise in Maui. Been going there since the early days and always great drinks, staff and live music.

    Traditional kava

    Cool spot to relax and chill for a spell. Service was helpful with the enormous amount of questions we had, and gave a little history lessons behind the origins of Kava. We each had the traditional, along with a few kratom teas. A few of us also had the dirty versions. I'd say we definitely felt a bit more relaxed after the fact. We had seen people grabbing large jars to go. I feel like this would've been great as a bring along for a good beach day. We'll probably pop in again to grab a jar to bring with us next time we're in the area.

    Mango Strawberry
    Simone O.

    Our first time trying kava, Krystal was SUPER helpful. She recommended that we do tonga, since it was our first time. We got the mango strawberry, strawberry passion, and calamansi, as well as three full shells (that don't have flavor and are being split between two people). If it's your first time, I personally would recommend not getting the fruit juice. We did not feel the kava at all (or if we did, it was not distinct enough of a feeling for us to feel) but the taste was nice and sweet. The regular shells of tonga had a very herbal, bitter taste and was a bit harder to get down, but taking it with some orange juice or other drink on the side made it better. The people who got the regular shells had a much more distinct feeling of getting the body high.

    Lilikoi kava
    Manasa A.

    Found this little gem while waiting for our order from a food truck next door. Didnt know what kava is and the lady at the bar gave us some info . We got curious and wanted to try ,so we got the lilikoi kava. The drink was absolutely refreshing.We had a long mid day nap(Not sure if it because of the kava or the hot and tiring whale watching trip) The place has a nice zen vibe. Worth trying.

    Kava fix on my way to the airport!

We ordered three large pizzas: regular cheese, margherita, and sweet kalua ($75). While we waited, we sat outside on the patio, where there was a live musician who was really good and entertaining. The staff was friendly and checked on us to see if we needed anything while we waited. It also seemed like a chill bar where people could grab drinks and hang out on the patio. We took the pizzas home, and they were delicious. Our favorite was the sweet kalua. It was not overly barbecuey or sweet, but actually pretty savory. The margherita pizza was good too. In general, their pizza stands out because there is not too much crust. It was not crispy, but instead airy and on the doughy side. The reason I am giving 3 stars instead of 5 is because one of our group members found a blonde hair baked into his pizza slice, not just sitting on top. That was disappointing, especially since the pizza itself was actually very good.

    VERY disappointed in Castle Karaoke. We originally had the room RESERVED for 6-9pm. The guy didn't…read moreshow up to open up until around 6:10pm. I was the one that had to make contact first to find out what was happening because he didn't. We ended up starting our session @ 6:35pm - in which HE let us know that this will be our new start time (because he was late) & we will end @ 9:35pm. Keep in mind that it was super hot BECAUSE HE WAS LATE TO SET EVRYTHING UP!!!! He also had the nerve to ask my husband "is this for a birthday?" in which my husband said "yeah it is." Then the guy asked "do you guys have confetti?" My husband laughed it off and said "no we do not." & the guy responds, "okay good." Our group extended another hour before our time was up. He tells us "your end time is 10:30pm" cutting us 5 minutes. We didnt think anything of it. Whats 5 minutes... thats nothing major. We then did another 1 hour extension, which you'd think 1 hour from 10:30 is 11:30... he then told my sister (who extended) that our end time is 11:15!! He told her "it's because I gave your group 15 minutes to set up before you started." She didn't say anything about it, but came back in the room & told me that. I went outside to ask for clarification because it did NOT make sense that we are PAYING for the time we are using their system & they allowed us the 15 minute set up time prior to our session starting! When I asked about it, he told me "it's because I gave you 15 minutes before to set up." I then asked "okay, so just to clarify... with us setting up, 15 minutes before the karaoke session, that cut us 15 minutes of karaoke? Is set up time included in the karaoke session & what we are paying for?" He tells me "no it's not included you can set up before you start. But since let you guys set up 15 minutes before thats why your thats your end time." So i reiterate -- "So because we set up 15 minutes before, we are cut 15 minutes from our Karaoke session? But you just told me that the set up time is not included. And you also told us before that our end time is 9:35, then changed to 10:30 & now it's 11:15?! That does not make sense when we are paying." He responds with, "thats okay. You guys can just have the 15 minutes." So of course I respond with "we will because it's what we PAID for." We then decided to extend 1 more hour. At this point, you can already tell that the guy is even MORE irritated. I asked what our end time was, he says "12:30pm." So i told him "okay thank you! This is our last hour." 12:15 hits and we are still singing, but also starting to wrap things up by gathering & putting away whatever we had out. 12:24am hits -- the door opens. It's the guy with a trash can & the broom. We are still singing because we have till 12:30am to end our session. He leaves the door open & tells us "your session is up." One of my sisters said "it's not 12:30 yet." he walks away. He comes back at 12:26am & says it again, "your session is up." My sister continues to sing. I told her to stop & let's get out of here because of the shitty service they've been providing. As soon as we all walk out, he locks the door, shuts everything off & turns off the "open" sign. We were the last ones there. Their hours of operation literally state 5pm-2am. & you are allowed to extend as long as there's no reservations after you! WHICH THERE WERE NONE! You'd think they'd be happy to get money & service on a Thursday night when they are slow. But this guy was a total dick who tried to cut time off of our session that we are paying for, because he wanted to close up & leave!!

We ordered the poke sampler and the chicken dish that came with mashed potatoes and uncooked vegetables. The poke did not taste fresh and it had such an off texture. This was so disappointing since we were excited to try poke in Hawaii. We had poke at other places after this and they were very fresh, soft, and had delicious marinade. This one seemed that it had been stored for a while. The Huli Huli chicken was supposed to have pan-roasted vegetables but they were completely uncooked. This had green peppers and other uncooked veggies. What a bummer. The chicken was okay--it was marinaded for 72-hours. It didn't taste that strong--just mild flavoring. Overall, the service was really nice but we were underwhelmed by the food.

I did a search on Instagram and came across this business Ohana Karaoke Cafe & Grill, for Korean foods. This is all for my other half since he is a meat Jun Snob, he loves his meat jun so I decided to check out this business for our 2nd lunch. Nice idea, Karaoke and Korean foods, great combination! There are tables for dining and about 3 Karaoke rooms ( small, medium, & large) Connie (owner) greeted us and took our order. She was super friendly, usually at the restaurants here on Koreamouku, I have to be extra nice so they can be more friendlier. *note, no complimentary water here at all, you can bring your own or purchase the water here. Our orders were the meat jun and fish jun combo ($19.) and it has been a long time since I last had my Korean noods, got the ramen noodles with dumplings ( $10.) Big portions, everything was enough for 2 even came home with leftover jun. So the verdict and I ask the other half, so Mr. Meat Jun Snob what is the ratings, he said "7/10 and the fish jun makes up for it". hehe. Even though I can fancy up my Korean ramen better with the fixings, the noods was a great fix, There were 5 ban chan, zuchini and broccoli was too salty but enjoyed kim chee and sprouts. It was nice enjoying Korean foods on Maui! The other half thanked me and I am glad he was happy with his meat jun fixed. If we are back on Maui for longer than 3 hours, we would def. be back again! The prices for portion size and quality is reasonable! Support this wonderful local business!
