    Coconut Seafood Curry
    Heather M.

    We had a nice first visit to the general store. We arrived on time for our reservation and were greeted by the hostess, who was friendly and welcoming. I ordered the fresh catch and substituted the orzo for mashed potatoes. My husband ordered the seafood curry and was delighted to find shrimp, ahi tuna, and another white fish as part of the dish. It was a mild curry.

    We had a fantastic dining experience at HGS. We made a same day reservation online to have lunch before our tour at Maui Pineapple Tour just down the street. The space has a great airy ambiance and staff was extremely friendly and attentive. We enjoyed every item we ordered, and the Teriyaki burger was a favorite among our group - perfectly sweet and juicy. The Pineapple Upside Down Cake was my favorite dessert during my trip to Maui.

    Korean BBQ Short Rib

    They were having a 20% off kamaaina day so we decided to take advantage of the offer. The restaurant used to be a plantation store so the decor inside is a reminder of that. The items displayed on the shelves are for sale. The service here is stellar! We started with Passion Berry Iced Tea and Crab Pizza. The Crab Pizza has a creamy crab topping on a homemade crust. It reminds me of crab dip with pita bread- so yummy! The iced tea is fruity, really refreshing, and includes refills. For dinner we ordered the Prime Rib special and Korean BBQ Braised Short Rib. Both were served with garlic mashed potatoes and veggies. The Prime Rib was 14oz and cooked perfectly. The Short Rib was fork tender and well seasoned. I hope they offer Kamaaina deals more often!

    Great place to dine for special occasion. They serve lunch and dinner. Our server Iaan was very friendly and helpful. Ambiance is nice. There are two places for seating. They have a front and back area. There is also bar seating available. I usually like getting their fish dishes for dinner. The Caesar salad was delicious too and my mom enjoyed her onion soup. The margarita was one of the best we had. I definitely recommend it!

    This place offers some freshly made food with good quality ingredients. We ordered the market fresh fish (daily catch), and free other seafood entrees. Everything was good but the portion size was small for the price. The service was good and overall we had a good experience.

    Visiting Maui for the first time and stopped by Hali'imaile General Store for lunch on a Tuesday around noon. I ordered the Soup of the Day (tomato basil) and grilled mahi-mahi. The soup was lukewarm and forgettable. The mahi-mahi was fine with rice, but nothing memorable. The major issue: a chicken sandwich at our table was served with clearly burnt buns -- blackened edges on both halves. It was obvious before it even hit the table. This could've been a 3-star visit, but serving visibly burnt food without acknowledgment or replacement shows poor quality control. Disappointing experience. Cannot recommend.

    After my fav fine dining restaurant Lahaina grill closed after the fire and being disappointed by mama's fish house, I'm in dire need to find a nice restaurant in Maui to splurge for. This place is....alright. For the price, quality, freshness, drink selections, and attentive service, I was happy enough to return. It's no Lahaina grill, but unlike most places in Maui which are expensive tourist traps, here you DO get what you pay for. And I'm happy with that. Everything is made well. Nothing mind blowing, but solid and tasty. Portion is generous. Drinks - tried mai tai (prefer monkey pod), Maui mule (too sweet didn't love), and lava flow (had better at cheap tiki bars on the island). IMO food is somewhat fairly priced especially for lunch (dinner cost significantly more for the same menu items), but drinks are on the pricier side. It matches the vibe, obviously, but I'd rather spend it somewhere else. If you come from CA or NY, I would keep the expectations low, and you might be pleasantly surprised.

    Buratta Beet Salad
    Keola m.

    After coming down from hiking all day I just wanted a quick plate lunch. Found Hali'imaile General Store on yelp and thought I'd give it a try. (I didnt look at the reviews or pics) In my mind I was thinking "General Store" kind of food which to me are hamburgers and plate lunches. HAHA! To my surprise it was a little elevated. I felt bad walking in there dressed as I was but, it was still comfortable. The service was great from being greeted at the entrance to my server, a local guy who was super nice and friendly. I ordered the "Buratta Beet Salad" which was AMAZING! The beets, tomatoes, pesto and balsamic glaze made such a great combination. I should have ordered 2 (yes it was only me). Also ordered the Macadamia Nut Crusted Mahimahi. The fish was cooked perfectly but, to me the sweet potato mash, lilikoi sauce and pineapple salsa didn't go well with the fish. Well, not to my liking. The crispy onions seemed stale also. Parking is limited but adequate. The sign there is a little intimidating tho. Says park at your own risk (or something like that). Other than my disappointment with the main course it was a good experience.

    Cute spot with very nice lighting and a generous amount of seating. Our waiter was super friendly and had some great recommendations. I enjoyed my ribs with fries as well as some local beer. My father got the fish and was very happy with his lunch. Definitely for special occasions, but it was nice to try something new!

    It was our first time here and we will most certainly be back. Not only was each entree beautifully plated, but the taste was 10/10. Service was exceptional and our food arrived quickly.

    Market fish with mac nut pesto, creamy orzo w/chorizo, and purées of cauliflower and butternut squash with microgreens.
    Priscilla B.

    Friendly staff, delicious food, and a lovely ambiance. We ordered the pork belly bao buns, Caesar salad, market fish, teriyaki waygu burger, and for dessert banana cheesecake and pineapple upside down cake to go. It's a great spot and well worth the trip and cost.

    Pan seared ʻŌpakapaka with orzo, butternut squash and parsnip

    WOW What a lovely meal!! Matt was an amazing server and took great care of my daughter and I. I'm not sure how I have missed this amazing restaurant for so many years? Do yourself a big favor and get your butt to Hali'imaile General Store Chef Rheyden Lagazo makes amazing things happen from the bounty of the island and ocean. Mahalo Nui Loa for a great dining experience!! I am looking forward to Easter brunch with you all.

    We just finished the sunrise at Haleakala and wanted food before heading back. So glad we heard…read moreabout and found this place. Staff was very friendly and everything was great. I am glad they opened at 9am and served local Hawaiian food. Absolutely recommend this place if you are in Maui.

    I stopped by here earlier today with my father for dinner. We had been in Hawaii for about a week…read moreand had not yet eaten much local food, so I fired up Yelp and found Kalei's. This restaurant is located in a shopping center in Pukalani. The inside has a place to order along with a cooler and a display case full of baked goods. There is seating throughout the rest of the space with five four tops and bar seating for about seven more. For dinner on this evening I decided to go with the loco moco while my dad went with the Big Kahuna. The menu described mine as three hamburger patties smothered with house made brown gravy and topped with two eggs, and my dad's as a combo plate of mochiko chicken, hamburger steak, and Asian crusted ono. After placing our order they quoted us 15 to 20 minutes, so we sat at an empty table and waited. It only took about 10 minutes before our food was ready and we sat down to eat. As soon as my dad opened his meal I have to admit that I was jealous as it looked great. Thankfully my meal was absolutely amazing. The brown gravy was legit with a ton of flavor and I could not stop eating it. The burger patties were hot and seasoned well. The mac salad was also really good. My only complaint would be that the rice was a little sticky and made it hard to get everything out of the container. I was also able to try some of my dad's mochiko chicken and the breading had great flavor while the chicken inside was moist and juicy. My dad enjoyed everything on his plate as well, especially the ono. The bottom line for me is that I would head back here again in the future. As a matter of fact, the next time my wife is on Maui with me this will be one of our first stops because that gravy was fantastic.

We were heading back from a sunrise at Haleakalā when I decided to check Yelp for good nearby coffee places and this popped up, so we headed on over. This coffee shop is on Baldwin Ave in Makawao and the inside is pretty large with lots of seating. They also have a display case with baked goods over by where you order. After looking over the menu I ultimately decided on one of their specials, a cherry vanilla latte, which I don't think I have seen before in a coffee. After only a couple of minute wait, I had my latte and was out the door. My coffee here ended up tasting really good, almost like a cherry vanilla ice cream. The cherry flavor came first and that was followed by the sweet vanilla. While I know the coffee was there, it got lost a bit with the cherry vanilla flavoring. Still, I enjoyed it. The bottom line for me is that I would head back here again in the future. A cherry vanilla latte is a new combo for me, but I enjoyed it and only wish the espresso was a bit more pronounced.
