First time here

Having seen the reviews for the malasadas we needed to come and try these. It was a couple of hours to closing so I hoped they hadn't run out. When asked by the grumpy owner how many I wanted, I said two and she said, they don't sell two and pointed at a sign. I glanced quickly and said, I needed to buy a dozen? No is all she said. Okay, it's minimum of three. Told it would take 10 minutes which was fine since they are made to order. The place is a throwback to better days based on the design of the menu board. When our order came out, I saw auntie throw a spoonful of sugar in the bag. Nice! The order is double bagged to soak up the oil. Gotta rate these as a 3. A bit chewy and not much sugar clingy for some reason. Hubby compared to the ones from Komoda that he prefers. The search goes on for the best malasada!

Visiting Home Maid Cafe was a request by The Homie during our second visit to Maui (9/1/25). This is located in the Azeka Shopping Center in Kihei, across the parking lot from the post office. Service was very efficient. The interior gave a quasi cafe vibe, but we lucked out with table by the entrance to dine al fresco. Bonus: there was even a photogenic local chicken wandering nearby. The Homie had local fare, chili rice. I opted with basic french toast. We shared the bag of malasadas. I'd give it a realistic 3 to 3.5, however, bumping it to a 4 since this couple was working pretty hard on Labor Day.

Anytime I go to Maui this is a must! The breakfast sandwiches are simple and delicious, the loco moco is so good with the egg cooked perfectly every time and of course the malasadas are not to be missed! Whether you decide to get them plain or cream filled they are always delicious!

Loco Moco

We arrived in Maui early and were starving and my friend found this place. I don't understand why anyone would want to eat here. The service is nothing special and the place was not very clean and since the door was left wide open, flies were everywhere. We ordered the french toast which was so dry and there was no flavor. The butter and syrup did not help so we didn't bother finishing it. The Loco Moco was bland and even with salt it was just okay. We kept having to swat the flies from getting in our food. The coffee was decent which is why I am giving it 2 stars.

We come all the way from Seattle for their malasadas! Make sure and get the cream! Their breakfasts are great too. I love their Portuguese sausage. When I order my eggs I like them scrambled soft and they're one of the few restaurants who cooked them correctly.

The family at Home Maid Cafe is just great! The breakfast sandwich and BLT never disappoint. Their sugar malasadas are hot and delicious! Thank you for being my favorite comfort breakfast;) I take mine to go so I can enjoy it in my garden

Coconuts Fish Cafe in Kihei absolutely blew me away. Hands down, they serve some of the best fish…read moretacos and coconut shrimp I've ever had! This was my favorite meal during my trip. Famous Fish Tacos -- These tacos deserve the hype! The fish was incredibly tender and flaky, wrapped in a light, crispy batter that added texture without overwhelming the seafood. What really makes them special is the combination of toppings: creamy coconut milk slaw, juicy mango salsa, fresh tomatoes, and cheese. You get a delicious mix of sweet, tangy, creamy, and savory flavors in every bite, with the mango adding a refreshing tropical touch. The toppings complement the fish instead of masking it, and the portions are satisfying. It's the kind of fish taco that makes you immediately understand why people keep coming back. Coconut Shrimp -- Another standout! The shrimp were tender and juicy inside, with a beautifully crispy coating full of toasted coconut flavor. I loved the contrast between the crunchy exterior and succulent shrimp. Paired with the sweet, tangy Thai chili-pineapple dipping sauce, the coconut flavor really shines without becoming too heavy or overly sweet. It's a fantastic combination of textures and flavors, and I would absolutely order these again. What impressed me most about both dishes was the execution. Fried seafood can easily become greasy, dry, or weighed down by thick batter, but here the coating was light and crispy while the seafood stayed tender. That balance makes all the difference. Coconuts is casual, unfussy, and exactly the kind of place you want after a day exploring Maui. If you're visiting Kihei, put the fish tacos and coconut shrimp on your must-eat list. This was easily one of my favorite meals of the trip, and I'd happily return on every visit to Maui!

The fish is a fried blend of Mahi Mahi and Ono, cooked perfectly--crispy, flavorful, and delicious with the pineapple pico. The tortillas are packed with fish; you can easily make two tacos out of one. Absolutely a must‑try. Poke Nachos The Poke Nachos were great. We ordered the spicy poke with a mayo base. The chips were solid, though the dish could use some jalapeño or serrano to kick up the heat. Tiger Sauce Their homemade tiger sauce is sweet, spicy, and slightly vinegary--really tasty. Drinks They serve Kona Brewing Co. on tap. The Lemongrass Luau is excellent.

We'd eat here again. But their staff can use some training on customer service!

There is a small parking lot on the side and street parking by the library across the street. The main draw here is the poke but they also serve fish tacos and fish plates. They sell only locally-caught fish which changes daily. For poke there are only two options: traditional and spicy. We got one of each ($22 each) and I preferred the traditional as it was saltier and had more flavor. I'm used to seeing more than just two flavors but it's fine. What I didn't like was that the rice in my bowl was hard like it had been out for a while. The other bowl was fine so I'm not sure what happened there. $46 total for two bowls seems like a higher price than normal for sushi, and the spicy one was just okay. Note that there is a 3% charge for using card.

I ordered the fish sandwich and my husband had the mochiko chicken with garlic noodle ( garlic noodle +$4). The fish sandwich came with American cheese, tartar sauce and perfectly fried fish fillets. Mochiko chicken was crunchy - it came with crunchy rice crackers bits with a soy sauce based sauce. My son had the poke which also had the rice cracker bits. We all enjoyed the Poke as well. I also ordered the Bibingka which was their chocolate butter mochi with sprinkles. I never had chocolate butter mochi before, (only regular butter mochi from family potlucks) it seemed it didn't have that coconut flavor that you get with regular butter mochi but I am glad I tried it. The food overall hit the spot. Staff was kind and welcoming. You can order online but we opted to order in person and the wait was not long. (We got there before 5pm). This is a take out place so you need to plan. We knew we wanted to do a Costco run before checking in so we just ate in the car. Costco is super close by which made Tim Roof very convenient as well.

The mochiko chicken was nice and crispy on the outside, and I really liked the crunchy bits sprinkled on top, which added some extra texture. However, the chicken itself was extremely bland and barely had any flavor. I was expecting something spicy and well seasoned, and it really could have used a LOT more sauce to give it some flavor. The garlic shrimp was probably the better of the two dishes. The shrimp had a nice garlicky flavor, but I really didn't like that they were fried with the shells on. It made them pretty difficult and messy to eat because you have to peel off the shell while trying not to lose all the garlic, seasoning, and crispy breading stuck to it. The mac salad was decent but nothing special. It was a little bland for my taste, and I wish there had been more potato mixed in since the potato was the element with the most flavor. Another downside is that there was absolutely no seating, so you'll need to plan on taking your food elsewhere to eat. This was pretty inconvenient, especially if you're not staying nearby and want to enjoy them while they're fresh. The cashier also wasn't particularly friendly, which didn't help the overall experience. Overall, I think this place is a bit overhyped. The food wasn't terrible, but the mochiko chicken really missed the mark in terms of flavor, and between the lack of seating and service, I didn't think the experience was worth the hype.

Ube Rey -- A coconut-forward, ube-inspired take on a Mai Tai with delicious ube foam. Tropical, creamy, and so good.

The mushrooms brought a wonderful earthy flavor, while the truffle added that rich, fragrant finish without overwhelming everything else. The dough was another highlight, with a satisfying texture that brought the whole pizza together. It's flavorful and comforting, and perfect for sharing. Our little one loved the pizza. Strawberry Cream Pie -- An absolute must! The pie was incredibly light and airy, with sweet, fresh-tasting strawberries, a lovely hint of strawberry guava, and a buttery crust that tied everything together. It was the kind of dessert that feels indulgent without being heavy. I could honestly eat the whole pie myself! Family-friendly bonus: Complimentary Noodles & Cheese for children under 3 kept our little one happy while we enjoyed our cocktails. We also ordered a $3 scoop of lilikoi sorbet for him, which was generously portioned and delicious. Exceptional service: A huge shout-out to Steve R., who truly made our evening special. He offered thoughtful recommendations that helped us make the most of our meal, was attentive without hovering, and consistently made sure we had everything we needed. He was the one who took the initiative to split our entree into two plates. His warm, personable approach made us feel genuinely welcomed. Great service can elevate an already good meal, and Steve made our entire experience that much more memorable. Between the creative cocktails, fresh local flavors, delicious pizza, and outstanding hospitality, Monkeypod delivered a wonderful experience. Don't skip the Monkeypod Mai Tai or the strawberry cream pie! We'd happily return on our next trip to Maui.
