    Always a great experience when I stop at Joe's. I still drive from Kihei for my inspections.

    Fong Henry General Store - Searching for ice cream (8/28/25)

Both hit the spot. But what stood out was the humorous, super kind owner/proprietor. Note though - cash only! No restrooms onsite - closest ones are at the nearby Keokea Park.

    I love to support and visit, mom and pop stores. I always make a stop here when I'm here at Kula,…read morewith request to the hubby of course, since he is my Uber driver. Fong Henry General Store is so nostalgic opened in the 1930s, great selection of merchandise at this shop. I needed to grab drinks and also checking out the alcohol selection caught my eyes, the prices are low too! I ended up with few seltzers for the road and tried a new one which I loved! Another reason to make a stop at Fong Henry is for the hot dogs! Yep, they have hot dogs here and It is really good and so cheap too! I loved how it is cooked, hot, fresh, old fashion style. Condiments ( relish, peppers, mayo, ketchup, mustard) are provided. Owner request that you could use the relish/peppers first before the mustard, ketchup, mayo to avoid contaminations of spoons, keep it clean too when using the condiments. I like it better than the Costco hot dogs. I've never met Ken, from the reviews and thank you note on the wall but I always the see the same lady ( owner?) that helped me, she is friendly and she must wonder why I take so many pics of everything at the store. Great service! The hubby and I enjoyed our snack, hot dogs along with our seltzer! I can't wait to visit again and for more hot dogs! Support this local mom and pop shop, make a stop here when you at Kula, recommend! Oh and don't forget CASH only! Look for the telephone and scale, really old school!

    Reviews praising Brian reflect work done by a skilled technician who no longer appears to be with…read morethis shop. Current service under Paul does not reflect that same standard. Read carefully before trusting positive reviews. Every glowing review you see is about Brian. Brian left this business to Paul sometime around mid-2025. These are two fundamentally different experiences under the same business name. That distinction is not obvious and it matters enormously. Brian? Stellar. Replaced a clutch including master and slave cylinder, fast and fairly priced. Clearly knew European engineering. Paul? A different story entirely. Under Paul's ownership: 3 months of delays to replace a clutch and ball joint on a camper van being used as emergency housing by a Lahaina fire survivor. This was a fact Paul was explicitly told - SOMEONE LIVES IN THIS VEHICLE. Phone goes straight to voicemail, always. It was also made clear to provide an estimate BEFORE doing the work. After nearly begging for the vehicle back, we received a massive bill including $75 for fuel and $80 for a locking gas cap on a vehicle returned with NO gas in the tank. $75 more than fills this tank even at $5/gal. The gas station is less than one block away, they surely did not drive 200 miles to make sure the repairs were solid. During that same job Paul's team broke the speedometer cable, didn't mention it, and let the vehicle drive away with no fuel and no functional speedometer. When we returned, Paul claimed it "must have broken on its own" and quoted hours of labor at $180/hr plus $200 for a part available online for $50la. This is labor that existed solely because his team broke a part during their normal repair job. Even if it was old and fragile they could have at least warned us. After 3 months of waiting for parts... and a $3800 bill for a clutch that cost $1600 from Brian a few years earlier... only to then have to come back and have them try to gouge us further. So while he is trying to sell us on overpriced repairs for damages his team did I ask him about the loud exhaust, because now it just sounds LOUD. That brings us to: In a subsequent insurance claim Paul promised to photograph the exhaust damage and submit an estimate promptly. He waited so long the claim closed. We had to chase him down by voicemail -- naturally -- to get the estimate submitted at all. We ordered every part on his estimate with expedited shipping to HAWAII. No delays this time. Brought everything to the shop, laid the parts out, walked him through fitment, assured him not only did we order all the parts and correct part numbers received, but we ordered parts he failed to list. Paul warned us that since we supplied parts he "couldn't guarantee they'd be correct." This is about parts sourced directly from his own insurance estimate that he wrote. One week later, no call. We called. Voicemail. He called back to inform us the parts were wrong. Paul submitted that estimate to the insurance company based on stock OEM catalog data, without physically inspecting a vehicle with obviously custom dual exhaust. He did not verify that the parts he put on the estimate matched the actual components on this specific van. When confronted, he blamed us, refused to acknowledge the error was his, and suggested a few hours of welding at shop rates would solve a problem created entirely by his own incomplete assessment. Had he ordered the parts himself, at his leisure, and then discovered they were the wrong parts he would have had to leisurely order correct parts, likely increasing the costs due to his own negligence in managing insurance claims. What Paul didn't know: I have been the primary mechanic on this vehicle for years. I only hire out work I don't want to deal with. I know exactly what competent inspection looks like. I told him I would rather do the work myself than be lied to one more time and billed double on the entire job for 15 minutes of welding and a pile of wrong parts he had us order. Brian earned every positive review here. Paul has earned none of them. Buyer beware.

Convenience and quickness is paramount and this little spot has got you covered from drinks to snacks, to grab and go eats, hot meals, and more. They also have gas available. Because it's convenient, they also get really busy, especially around lunch time. The parking lot can fill up, but people are usually in and out. We love that they have a hot meals available under the heat lamps, but also have a small menu of plate lunches, chicken, and potato wedges. They are known for their fried chicken and wedges, but I usually go for the roast pork with brown gravy. The bento may look small, but it's packed and it's big enough for my son and I to share. It's also pretty tasty! Service is usually quick and friendly, but be prepared to wait as I mentioned. All in all, great spot to grab a quick bite and snacks.

I wish I had tried ALL their food honestly. The fried chicken looked unreal, but my heart called for 2 musubis every single time. Wish I had tried the spam musubi with egg. Guess I'll just have to travel back and get some more. The musubis are HOT and delicious right out of the store. I wish they had these everywhere.
