Joey's Kitchen is located in the Whaler's Village food court. 3.5 stars. Great to get some local and somewhat inexpensive grub here. The fancy, popular restaurants that line hotel row at Kaanapali can get too pricey. Sometimes you just want some "home cookin!" Things to try here: Garlic shrimp over rice - got this twice! I liked it better the first time I tried it. Is flavorful, but the 2nd time around, I think the chef was heavy handed in the sweet/sour sauce. If you like that, then you'll like this dish. I liked it better the first time when it seemed buttery and garlicky. Pancit - they use egg noodles not bihon (rice noodles). I prefer pancit bihon because that's how my Ma made it. But still give this a try. Adobo fried rice - this is also okay/good. I saw other pics of this dish. For some reason, ours wasn't as "dressed up." I would come here for breakfast - they have tosilog (I forgot to take a pic of that). I would recommend trying this place if you just want local food and tired of making reservations at the pricier restaurants. Depending on what you order, you might still shell out $16-20 a plate, but the portions are pretty good. read more

It's a food window in the Whaler's Village. There is seating but not what I would expect for the resort area. Very casual. It was early and we walked up to look at the menu. The lady at the counter seemed a bit hurried for us to place an order. I walked away and left it to my husband to order his breakfast. We rejoined at a community table outside. He had the usual American breakfast of eggs, bacon, potatoes, and toast on a plastic tray. I felt bad for him. We were looking for a proper sit-down breakfast restaurant and Joey's just didn't fit the bill but it put food in his stomach and we continued on down the road. The food was fine. Cooked properly and not too pricey for what it was. It would be good for family with picky little children that need fast good breakfast in a space that they can run around, being that this is community seating in the courtyard of Whaler's Village. read more

Just do yourself a favor and go eat here. We've been three times! Once for breakfast and twice for dinner. Everything was so good!: we got the breakfast burritos, pancakes, and pork moco. Prices were just right! We went for dinner and tried the adobo rice, lumpia, chicken, pork adobo, and shrimp and I couldn't stop eating it! read more

Joey's Kitchen - Asian Fusion Near Me - Lahaina, Hawaii

Ignore the bad reviews. After a long day with multiple tours around the island, we were wandering around Whaler's Village on empty stomachs, looking for the next spot to eat at. We became so lazy that we just decided to look to Yelp to choose for us; the first place to pop up with good reviews would be our dinner choice. I'm glad we found Joey's Kitchen because I had a great experience with very delicious food, fast service, and great prices! This place is considered Asian Fusion so they have a ton of different choices for just about everyone, except the crazy people who don't like Asian food. I ordered the Hawaiian Plate and it came with pork in this leaf thing, (I forgot what it was called) macaroni salad, and rice. Everything was cooked perfectly and the pork was sooooo flavorful. I also got brussel sprouts that had some kind of cheese on it. WOW. I've never loved eating brussel sprouts so much. I don't understand any of the bad reviews! The food was terrific to me and I'll definitely be back for more. read more

I was craving a kalbi plate and was excited to try Joey's kitchen since they're always busy at the Napili location. It was we probably the worse food I've had in Hawaii so far. The kalbi was drowning in sauce and way too salty--this is coming from someone who loves salt and adds salt to everything. The Mac was also drowning in Mayo. Everything other than the rice was inedible. read more

The menu looked great for a quick dinner on our last night on the island, so I placed an order and asked how long it would be. She said "5-10 minutes." At 15 minutes, I checked whether my order had been lost. At 20 minutes, I checked again. At 25 minutes I realized there were still about ten orders ahead of mine in the queue, and just walked away and got a slice of pizza instead. I wonder if my order ever came. I'm not merciless about unexpected delays, but the kitchen didn't appear to be on fire. They just don't seem to have the capacity to run a fast casual counter in a food court, and apparently aren't honest about that. read more

This is inside Whalers Village in the food court. I enjoyed the garlic chicken and fried rice. The fried rice uses sticky rice so it's very good and different from your normal Asian fried rice where either short grain or long grain is used. The pork adobo is nasty. It's tough and a bit sour. read more

Hawaiian food was ok. Had the garlic fried chicken & teriyaki chicken with 2 scoops macaroni salad. Good potions. Joey is in the food court. Food in the area is expensive since lots a tourists. So if on a budget, Joey will suffice. read more

Best garlic fried chicken. The adult meal is twice as much than the kids version for 3 more pieces of chicken though... but taste wise it was so so good and the service was pretty quick read more

Joey's became one of our preferred "cheaper" places to dine at during our stay at the Hyatt in Maui. During our stay we went here about three times. Twice for breakfast and once for dinner. Braised Beef Shortribs with Coconut Shrimp ($21)- This huge and deliciously flavored shortrib came out with some rice and macaroni salad. The shortrib was amazing and definitely worth getting. The coconut shrimp was also impressive. It was served with a sweet and sour aioli sauce. Fresh Fish & Coconut Shrimp ($21)- This was similar to the braised beef shortrib dish except it had fish. The fish they served was a dense white fish. I'm not too sure exactly which fish. It was very filling and vaguely lacked in flavor. The sweet and sour sauce and hot sauce helped. Breakfast Burrito ($8)- This was off their breakfast menu. It was filled with garlic fried rice, bacon, sausages, egg, and cheese. It wasn't super impressive or special but not bad. Breakfast Platter ($9)- It contained scrambled eggs, spam, sausages, and rice. Also not impressive but not bad. This place is located in the mall on the first floor in the food court. The food normally takes awhile but its one of the better options for food there I thought. They have a large variety for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Its worth checking out if you want something faster and a quick bite. read more

We have been eating here the past 3 days and have yet to snap a pic of our breakfast. So hungry we forgot to take pictures Love the Kalua pork hash (ordered it everyday so far) it comes with their garlic fried rice, eggs (any style) and gravy. Soo good! We highly recommend their adobo fried rice! They serve lunch items too; however we've only had their breakfast! Highly recommend! Quick and friendly service! read more

Easy, convenient, take-out gourmet plate lunch place. We ordered: Joey's Famous Garlic Chicken - chicken was on the dry side but the sauce was good. Blackened Seared Ahi - cooked perfectly, but slightly over seasoned for me. I really liked the salad dressing that they use for their salad. Don't forget to get your parking validated! read more

Thoroughly unimpressed. I seriously feel like I just got scammed. Did I just pay $20 for a 5 piece "garlic" shrimp with one scoop of rice and "a side of veggies"? Soo many cons and I don't know where to start. 1. It's only 5 pieces. 5! What are you, a surf and turf 5 star restaurant?? The order is a dish of garlic shrimp! But five pieces?! 2. Hawaii has a great garlic shrimp dish filled with sautéed buttery garlic. But this was so unbelievably NOT garlic. I would say it was a sprinkle of garlic. 3. The side of veggies consisted of two broccoli and two cauliflower. Did I already say sad?? 4. It was $20 for this dish coming from a food court restaurant in a mall! Come on! The other dish I tried was adobo fried rice. It was just rice. And pork adobo. Mixed together. I thought they would add more stuff..you know, like how fried rice has other ingredients. But nope. Just the rice and adobo. I actually give this place two stars because the food was just mediocre in taste. It wasn't bad tasting, it just was average. But not at all garlicky, not at all worth the price and not even a full sit down serving restaurant so why so expensive?! Because we're tourists? I have no idea why this place has 4 stars but many did mention how expensive they were. I'm just so disappointed in what you actually get. read more

We had takeout which was super yum. Garlic chicken, lumpia and seared ahi was really delicious. Now my 7yo wants all lumpia to taste like these.... Darn near impossible as we live in MN read more

I'd give it 3.5 stars so rounding up to 4. We ordered the local breakfast, pork and hash, Hawaiian French toast and the breakfast burrito. My son said the French toast was okay and the breakfast burrito had lots of meat. The local plate was exactly as described- nothing special. The standout was the pork hash- flavorful and lots of meat. It's another good food option for Whaler's village. read more

We got the garlic chicken. It was very good and a lot of food for the price. So much chicken. Just wished there was some sort of greens

The food was fantastic and we really enjoyed it but for whatever reason the service we received was pretty disappointing. It seemed like a mother and a daughter were working the counter and they were extremely nice to everyone else in line but we were treated with mean glares and barely any word was spoken to us. Maybe they could tell we weren't from there lol? It was bizarre to say the least. Not sure if they thought we had said something about them or what but it really took away from the experience. Other than that the food is great and the prices are fair. read more

Joeys was on the lower level next to ohana's tacos, which has the best white rice i might add. I tried the mahi and coconut shrimp. The whole meal was succulent from first bite untill the last. The service was fast, but the atmosphere is definitely market style. Dont let the platic wate and paper plates steer you away from great food. read more

Came here for a Loco Moco and absolutely loved it! Not a loco moco newbie here- so I know what I like and don't like. This to me tasted like the most homemade loco! So homey, flavorful, and HUGE that 2 people could split. For $18, it's a steal. Perfect little (BIG) meal before hitting the golf course. Definitely visit this unassuming little food court spot! read more

I wish I wasn't writing to say that I had a live cockroach in my Mahi Tacos but I've never been more disgusted in my life. I don't even know how something like that happens but obviously I'll never eat at this restaurant again. Friendly staff but the quality of food is ridiculous, as well as the cleanliness of the kitchen. read more

Overpriced for what it is. There aren't many cheap options around Kaanapali. MAHI & COCONUT SHRIMP (3) plate $23- good but pricey. Liked the coconut shrimp more than the fish, & i liked the mahi from Paia Fish Market better. Shrimp pancit $13- not good. Tasted like Chinese lo mein & only 3 big shrimps. Large portion but mostly salty, soggy noodles. read more

We got the pork adobo and it was one of the best adobo's I've had. Would definitely recommend and get again!

We stopped in for some comfort food. It's located in a food court in Whaler's Village. Hubs wanted ramen and our first choice for ramen was all booked up. So Yelp led us here. The katsu chicken was fried excellent, Mac salad was below average. It was dry and bland, I like my Mac salad more wet. The miso ramen was decent. It was good for a place that's more known for their grilled or fried plate dishes. Joey's is a nice alternative if you get tired of sit down restaurants and want something quick and comforting. read more

Honestly this used to be our favorite spot. We stay each year for 2 weeks and we probably ate there 3-4 times each year. But each year the prices have gone up, they are in a mall Food court and you're paying high end restaurant prices. Not only that the food quality had gone WAY down. So now you have higher prices and worse food. $36 for Kalbi beef, $18 for fried rice in a food court. Sadly we will not be going back read more

So disappointed with Joey's kitchen casher. The lady that was taking the order. It seems like she doesn't want to be there. We ordered pansit which is in the salty side. The lumpia doesn't taste like typical pinoy Shanghai. The fish tacos was good though. That is why they earned 2 starts. I don't recommend this place. read more

If the guy from diners drive ins and dives could PLEASE stop ruining my favorite west Maui restaurants with his overrated PR that causes a spike in prices and the resulting shortcuts that are being taken because you're THAT busy - that would be great. Thanks! I rated 4 stars because of the food kitchen they've been running since the fires. Otherwise, it would be a hard 2 at best. It's not even a diner, drive in or dive. This place is NICE - like downtown Laguna Beach or Newport Beach nice - and just as expensive. I leave this review as constructive criticism - hoping it will result in quality control. (We've stayed in Honokowai every year for the past decade - this time we are here for a month.) Joeys used to be our favorite spot since we are foodies & Filipino is my comfort food back home. The kitchen is AMAZING when Joey is there - otherwise it's just another tourist trap to avoid. read more

Ordered the garlic chicken and while it came our hot and fresh ten minutes after ordering, it was just alright. Chicken itself was a little dry, it definitely needed the sauce that they drizzle on. I wasn't particularly hungry so one order was enough to split. Just a food court essentially, with some tables outside. The girl working the counter was friendly enough. Not sure why we had to wear masks in the stuffy non-air conditioned food court when none of the kitchen staff through the window were wearing masks. Maybe I would try something else next time, but the garlic chicken was not that impressive. Seems like a lot of places in Maui have overrated Yelp ratings, I probably wouldn't go back here again. read more

We ordered 6 dishes from Joey's. We all agreed the food was meh. It wasn't gross, it was edible, but bland, and nothing special, diferrent or unusual in any way. read more

It was our last full day before heading back to the mainland and we were too tired to drive far to eat breakfast. Joey's Kitchen was close by at Whaler's Village. Very convenient. Just make sure to have them validate your parking ticket or else you will have to pay at the exit. I read other Yelp reviews and lots of folks seemed to enjoy it. Perhaps we should have tried this restaurant during lunch or dinner because their breakfast menu sounded pretty basic and their prices are high. It's like a glorified food court type of restaurant with no AC. It felt like a sauna in there. No wonder nobody was sitting inside. You place your order at the counter and find a table. When your number is called, you pick up your tray of food on paper plates. You really can't go wrong with spam, scrambled eggs, Portuguese sausage and rice. The food was prepared well but nothing exciting about it. read more

This restaurant is located in the 'food court' of Whaler's Village, on the bottom floor of the mall. The seating area has booths inside and tables outside. The menu is heavily Filipino and asian influenced combined with a local Hawaiian-style mix plate. We ordered: - Lumpia - Adobo Fried Rice - Half Short Rib / Half Katsu with rice and mac salad Everything was excellent. The short rib was falling apart. The katsu was really crispy. The mac salad was creamy. The servings are big and it was a good value. I would stop here again. Credit card for purchases over $10. Validation for purchase over $15. read more

Definitely went to the wrong location because there are two. This one is in a mall food court... for a mall food court, the food was fine but wasn't anything to rave about. I wouldn't intentionally go back. They didn't have the dishes that yelp raves about.. we ordered the salmon which was decent- didn't look wild caught... we also tried the Mac n cheese which was overwhelmed with cheese-- not a good balance between cheese and noodles... I would try the other location but wouldn't go back to this one... read more

Holy Hell that Huli Huli chicken!!! On a whim we decided to do an early dinner here. The chicken was juicy, flavorful, and didn't need the sauce it came with. We also got the lumpia which was very good. Would definitely return. Go early as the chicken is in limited supply. read more

We were looking forward to grabbing some dinner to go. We ordered Chicken & veggie chow mein & adobo fried rice. Sadly, the noodles were not cooked. They tasted like top ramen noodles that were splashed with some water. The chicken & veggies were good and we ended up not being able to eat any of the noodles. We got back to our room and were so disappointed. I'm hoping this was just a one time occurrence. read more
