Hands down the best food I had on the island…read more The owner greeted us, and was super kind! He helped us pick what to order -- which was phenomenal, and lets us make some substitutions since we didn't eat one part of the special offered. We got the fried cod special which came with slaw, potato/Mac salad, a drink and then we ordered a side of volcano fries. First, the cook on the cod was great. Super flaky and flavorful! The slaw and Mac salad were what I was expecting from Hawaii, truly delicious and we honestly could eat just bowls of those! The volcano fries were also good with the sauce they came with. The patio outside was great for family seating, and even better, they had an array of kids toys in side to keep my toddler busy. Wish we had more time to go back tbh. All other local food that we tried didn't compare.

Maui Fish'n Chips hit the spot and was definitely worth the visit…read more Maui Fish'n Chips is tucked in the corner of a small plaza in Kihei, as most places seem to be. This place has a decent amount of covered seating outside, but no seating inside. The menu is simple, and you order inside. We ordered the Cod Fish with rice, Coconut shrimp, deep fried zucchini, and a side of potato mac salad. The fish and chips were easily the best thing we ate. The fish had outstanding flavor and were battered and fried perfectly. If we only ordered the fish and chips, this place would get an easy 5 stars, no questions asked. Unfortunately, the rest of the food we ate was meh. The coconut shrimp were large and had good coconut flavor, but were overcooked and a little burnt, which altered the overall flavor. But I am guessing if it wasn't burnt, it would have great. I typically love deep fried zucchini, so I was excited to try it here. If didn't meet expectations though (sad face). The zucchini slices were cut very thin, and when deep-fried, I felt like I tasted more of the fried breading than I did the actual zucchini. My wife is a big macaroni and potato salad person, and she was not impressed. She said it had too much mayo and not enough substance.... I was pleased with the service and staff! Everyone that worked there was really nice and helpful. I also appreciate all the seating outside. I also thought it was cool they had a lot of board games for kids to use while we waited for our food. Very unique and solid addition! This place gets a solid 4 stars. If they made little tweaks to the rest of their side dishes, this place could easily be one of the better places to eat in Maui.

Overall a nice meal.

Unfortunately, the sides were underwhelming, just mac and cheese and some shredded cabbage, which didn't add much to the dish. The service was... interesting. After ordering from the kiosk, I went to pick up my food and asked for a fork. The staff told me they didn't have any. That was a bit surprising....was I supposed to eat it with my hands? Overall, great flavor on the shrimp, but the sides and service could use some improvement.

I would happily eat here again in the future. That being said, the food wasn't fast, but it was totally worth the wait. I had one of the best quesadillas I've ever had in my life (with kalua pork and goat cheese). The rest of my family tried the fish tacos, fried fish sandwich, and Maui venison burger. No one was left disappointed. This was truly one of my favorite meals on the Big Island and I think what made it so good was just how unassuming it was. There's a reason it gets such rave reviews. It's well worth a stop.

There's parking out in front, right next door is a little shops for souvenirs/gifts/jewelry and further down are some BBQ spots. Theres plenty of covered outdoor seating to take a break and stretch your legs. The island chef let us know everything is fresh and the fish for the fish n chips was marlin. Also recommended ordering the coconut shrimp which is butterflies then pounds out so you got some bigggg coconut shrimp. And finally mentioned we order the shrimp with tiger sauce instead of the garlic shrimp because the tiger sauce was his own creation of butter/garlic/sweet/heat. The fish had a light fry and the marlin was meaty. That tiger sauce OMG was finger licking good. Not too sweet and perfect for those juicy shrimp and plate of rice. Delicious! He even brought out some kalua pork for us to try. Tender and not overly saucy. Worth the stop! Cash only btw

Quite possibly some of the best food we had in Maui. It's busy, but it's absolutely worth the wait…read moreif you come here. If you're looking for delicious sea food plates, then look no further. My husband was craving Hawaiian/seafood style food, and this place popped up in our search so we decided to give it a go. We ordered and got our food within 10 minutes, which was really good! There aren't too many places to sit inside, but there are plenty of spaces outside to eat your food. The crabcake was amazing, and it tasted so fresh. The fish tacos were also really good, and had generous amounts of meat. It was exactly the type of meal we were looking for. I definitely would recommend at least trying it if you haven't been! We ended up going a few more times because it was so good.

Everything tasted SO fresh, juicy, flavorful, and just out of this world. The staff was also amazing, and the whole vibe is so chill and relaxing. We seriously can't wait to come back.

Ok, on to the food, OMG, can you say, hit the spot? My first time to Maui and we had nothing planned, except the swamp meet and twin falls. Twin falls was closed, so decided so just keep driving. On the drive, met Uncle, who mentioned to go to the Hukipa'a Fish Shack. Hukipa'a Fish Shack is a family-owned ocean-to-plate food truck located along the Hana Highway (around mile marker 18) in Ke'anae / Haiku, Maui. Met Uncle's grandson who took our order. then I met his son, who was cooking up a storm. Lines moved pretty fast. Got our food and dayum. Best fish and chips by far on the island. Glad we stopped. Met the amazing owners. And chatted it up a little. Thank you so much for the Aloha. Best belive , it's worth the drive and I!ll be back.

Just as we thought that we saw this shack. The fish and chips were great. Tastes great, and texture perfect.
