We ordered the chicken katsu, hamburger steak, mochiko chicken and egg rolls. The portions of food was very healthy, definitely enough for 2 meals! The prices here are wonderful.. definitely worth the money! We will be putting this in our rotation of places to eat!

I have to say that this kings location has improved the food since opening. I have been eating here…read moresince it was Lynn's kitchen and even before that. So I remember when kings first opened up the food was ok but it did need improvement. Fast forward to now 2025 and the food quality has gotten better from the cheeseburger combo which is one of the best deals and its tasty to other dishes like the honey walnut shrimp and BBQ chicken combo that I ordered the other day. The honey walnut shrimp was just as good if not better than some of the pricier restaurants downtown, and the BBQ chicken was also delicious. You have a lot of options when you go to kings. One thing I find hilarious is that they are Chinese BBQ but one of the best items on the menu is the cheeseburger combo which comes with fries and a drink.for about$12. That's one of the best deals on Maui especially now that the quality has improved.the service is always fast. They have tried to fix up the interior by adding several screens that have the menu on them but I feel like it was just more confusing for some people because the menu is is all over the room so if your not used to it then it's kinda confusing? I feel like the one menu screen would be enough and use the other screens for entertainment or sports. It's also nice that I don't half to drive all the way upcountry? Since I live fairly close to Haiku Center.

We thoroughly enjoyed our dinner and time spent here. The whole space is very inviting and also has…read morea lot of interesting items for sale, including very unique and original art. We made dinner reservations through Open Table and were seated immediately when we arrived. Everyone was very friendly and happy to be there. That positive attitude goes far and really makes the dining experience a more pleasant one. I ordered the lamb chops and split them. I'm glad we did because it was such a generous portion. For $8 more they will give you the same amount of sides per split plate. It was a good idea and then we had room for the pineapple upside down cake, which was a nice way to end our meal. Our guest had the noodles and they had a wonderful flavor and were cooked perfectly. The menu had several great options and specials for each night. The dinner at HGS was the perfect place to enjoy a nice meal out. We were visiting with family and we felt as though we were at our own kitchen table. We were well cared for and not rushed at all. I hope you enjoy your time here!

I was really looking forward to the spot because it was recommended to me by my Airbnb host and a…read morecouple other friends. However I don't really understand why this spot is so popular and is so historical. I thought the food was very mediocre and we tried many things on the menu. We also thought that the drinks were too sweet. We tried a bunch of things on the menu too. I think you can get better tasting food at other spots like Monkey Pod and Mama's Fish House at a similar price point. that said the service was good and it was a nice ambiance sort of like a rustic Hawaiian vibe.

So nice we had to visit twice... well, two separate locations that is. While in Maui on our…read morebabymoon, my husband and I decided to come try Paia Fish Market in Paia, after having it at their southside location closer to our resort. For this visit, we came for lunch and I appreciated how quickly the line moved. The food came out fresh and piping hot. To start, we split an order of calamari as an appetizer. It was breaded perfectly and wonderfully tender. I decided to try a salmon burger while my husband ordered a mahi-mahi burger. The salmon was cooked to perfection and seasoned well. It had great flavor and came with a mound of fresh hot french fries. My husband enjoyed his burger as well. So whether you visit this location or their other location, and whether you try them for lunch or dinner, you really cannot go wrong with Paia Fish Market.

Stopped by this place after visiting the Haleakalā volcano crater. Super cute ambiance, I overheard…read morea waiter telling another customer that it was converted from an old train station. Service is also okay, the wait staff is nice but a bit scattered. The food here is a bit disappointing and expensive for what's being served. The banana bread french toast sounded amazing but was a very small portion for $20, and to add bananas + macadamia nuts to pancakes cost an extra $3 each. Coffee was also watery and not good :( I ordered the chocolate smoothie bowl, which was good but the smoothie to topping ratio was a bit unbalanced. The disclaimer for an extra 20% added to the bills of international travelers was also a bit odd to me, saying this as someone that's from the states.

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 live on the other side of the island and while we have an excellent Japanese restaurant (Takumi…read more- try the omakase) we decided to drive over to experience Nuka as it has so many fantastic reviews, and we really appreciate and enjoy Japanese cuisine. Nuka was exceptional. Authentically Japanese, the restaurant is beautifully yet serenely decorated, the staff are welcoming and well versed in the menu and flavors, and pricing is competitive for island restaurants. In fact when you know the healthy ingredients are the best available, locally grown/caught/raised and cooked to perfection it takes it up a notch. We arrived just as they opened for lunch at 11.30am and luckily managed to be seated straight away. I've read that dinner is much harder to get a table and there is a long wait so arrive accordingly ;) Parking is available in the car park next door beside the gym, free and self parking. So, what did we order?......... Grapefruit lychee spritzer - we chose the mocktail version but you can make it a cocktail too. Sooo citrusy and thirst quenching. Not sweet, zingy. Very refreshing on a hot Maui day Miso - earthy, salty, brothy, umami, steaming hot in a bowl to start off your extravaganza of a meal Shio koji cabbage - finely shredded with sesame and house milled bran and seasoning, like an elegant Japanese coleslaw, I loved it! Nasu Miso eggplant - slightly sweet because of the miso, I liked the taste but it wasn't a texture I'm used to eating, which I found a lot in Japan, eg mochi. But I can't fault the dish because of that, the miso umami was richly broiled and it was a popular dish House Nuka pickles - crunchy, fresh and sprinkled with sesame (daikon radish, carrot and cucumber), a good palate cleanser and a nice texture to complement the eggplant above. Not vinegary, just fresh Saba Nigiri - two pieces of moreish mackerel sushi, melt in the mouth with so much flavor, decent sized nigiri too Shiso Country sushi roll - on the specials list, and it was amazingly special! Ahi, habanero masago, orange masago, shaved shiso leaf, ponzu, so many flavours and textures combined into a party in the mouth, with a slight heat build as you ate it. A favourite Miso Butterfish - OMG it looked so amazing and was another popular dish, for a good reason, it is delicious. Melt in the mouth, flaky, savory cod, a nice sized serving, and the miso sauce is sooo good with the buttery fish Lilikoi ice cream - hubby only had room for one generous creamy scoop served with chocolate wafers and decorated with fresh mint. Perfect end to a delightful meal We both felt that this is definitely one of the best restaurants on island, culturally and gastronomically, pricewise and food presentation, authenticity and awareness of local produce....it all adds up to an outstanding dining experience. We will most definitely be returning even though we have to drive an hour and half to get there! "Gochisousama deshita"
