Alice Z.

Came back a few years later and just as good as we remembered. Ordered at the counter and food brought out in 10 min. Love the garlic chicken and pork lumpia

Breakfast Menu
Amber V.

We came here because it was close to our hotel in Kaanapali. Food was basic/ a little bit on the oily side but not bad. Service was order up at front the guy was very nice. Ambiance is the food court at Whalers Village. I probably wouldn't come here again as there was hair in my food. The nice guy that was working was very apologetic and refunded our whole breakfast.

Came here a tad before closing and decided to try out the loco mocos. The food was good, packed with overloaded amount of rice and not enough gravy. I doubt it was worth the $20 price tag but I overall enjoyed the meals.

Love the food here, fast service and very flavorful. We had the Mahi tacos today. Very good flavor, but they are a little spicy so bring some water to the feast.

Located at Whaler's Village's food court

Just wanted a light breakfast and decided to try this place out since it was near our resort. Surprisingly the best Loco Moco I've ever eaten. The flavor of the sauce was yummy and the eggs were cooked perfectly. My only complaint is the overcooked potatoes for my son's breakfast. The friendly service was lacking but whatever since I'm ordering takeout. Not much seating is available inside and there are a few outdoor tables.

My receipt for the two dishes

Whole family came to this high end plaza for fast food, and we ended at this place. It locates at the mini food court, which has five different counters -- Maui poke, Italian food, American food, joey's kitchen and one more ( forgot the name) . We ended up with one four cheese pizza for the boy from the pizza station . And we got Pork Adobo plate and Loco-moco. For the loco moco lacks of the taste, no highlight in the plate-- good carb and portion for hungry stomach. For the Pork adobo plate, it is way too much salt for me, each bite pork need two or three spoons rice to neutralize the salty flavor. Portion wise is great. And the location is great for kids, next to a mini kid playground.

Fish tacos ($20)

Located inside the dining hall downstairs! They opened a little earlier than 4pm. The guy there is working both the cashier and making the food in the back (I'm pretty sure, bc he is hustling from the front and back). He quickly took our order and answered any questions we had and rushed to the back to pump out the other orders. I'd say the food came out in a timely manner. We got the fish tacos ($20), the fish was beautifully seared/grilled & very fresh. The slaw was tossed in this delicious sauce! Perfect combo with the fish. We asked for the spicy sauce on the side. A bit too pricey for 3 fish tacos I'd say; but the food was very delicious. The indoor dining hall isn't too fancy. Looks a little run down, there's a few other shops in there, didn't look too packed either. However, it was a Monday early afternoon.

Chicken chow fun

We ordered the adobo fried rice and loco moco. Portions are good for sharing, but we felt that the food overall was a bit too salty for our taste. Prices are a bit more budget-friendly than the other dine-in options at Whaler's Village.

Garlic shrimp

Honestly Joey's Kitchen was one of my favorite highlights during my recent trip to Maui. It's a great, no-frills Hawaiian and Filipino spot in the food court area at Whaler's Village that is a warm-welcomed escape from the sit-down and touristy price-inflated restaurants. Plus it's indoors with air-conditioning but also has outdoor seats too. The garlic shrimp I had was incredible--so flavorful with just the right amount of garlic, lemon, and cilantro that I came back the next day and got the same thing. My friend also loved his dishes at the Joey's Kitchen too. The food here is homely and delicious. Again, given this is a no-frills spot, it's not a fair comparison like some of the other reviews are doing in my opinion to subconciously compare it to the more famous restaurants in the area. If you're already staying in this area and looking for a simple, quick, and flavorful bite--which is a rare find in this tourist resort area of the island--look no further than Joey's Kitchen!

Garlic chicken
Kristen N.

We got food from here 3 days in a row while staying next door. The food was just so yummy. I had garlic chicken for dinner which I'm not sure what I expected but it was PHENOMENAL. Crispy chicken, covered in sauces and sides of rice and mac salad were a nice touch. Then we went back for breakfast and had their breakfast burrito. This thing is so fat the first day it took me over an hour to finish it and the next day I had half and then the other half for lunch.

Everything we tried was absolutely delicious! This Filipino fusion cuisine absolutely hits the spot and satisfies all your cravings. During our time in Maui, we couldn't resist buying their food every single day--it was that good! I enjoyed every dish we sampled, and honestly, I can't choose a favorite. Each one brought a unique twist that was both comforting and exciting. If you're ever in the area, I highly recommend trying it out--you won't be disappointed!

Good pork burger and fries! Really appreciate the frys cooked in clean oil (some places you can tell use same oil for days). Wait time was less than 10 min after ordering. Lots of seating in the plaza.

Smashburger, fish tacos
Vivi T.

Food was delish! Service was pretty fast. Inside the whalers food court so good amount of seats no or if you wanna eat on the beach. They are closing soon!

We really enjoyed our dinner here but do expect high pricing. Everything tasted great especially…read morethe fresh sushi which we ordered way too many but stuffed our faces anyways. The 5 pc omakase arrived with generous sliced pieces of fish. I also ordered an extra pair of hamachi nigiri. The cooked eel roll was good but I think I would've skipped it and stuck with the omakase and a couple pairs of nigiri instead. We shared a salad that came with small cubes of mango and about 4 shrimp, the dressing was tasty. Hubby tried the Thai shaking beef noodle dish. It was tasty with ho fun rice noodles and tender slices of beef but he said it reminded him of chow fun. It was a larger portion than we expected. They were nice to give hubby a small slice of pineapple cake for his birthday as we were too full to order dessert. Kudos to Carrie, our waitress. She was very easygoing and nice to talk to and volunteered to take our picture. It's like having your auntie take care of you. The sunset view is really lovely for a romantic dinner.

You go here for the views (and convenience if staying here). The food is good but not out of this world.

Oh my gosh! Derek B our server was amazing. He talked about his personal relationship with Sheldon…read moreand how that came to be and how the Restaurant had been there for years and years and years and then Sheldon came in and revamped a a little bit but kept a lot of the original tradition. It was just really cool. You really can't go wrong on anything on the menu. We had the kimchi fried rice, which was very slightly spicy but nice --had an egg on it. Also had Mac salad, which is great --comes with some potatoes added and potato chips on top ---kind of fun. We had the chicken Teri dish which was fantastic with the sauce and then the broccolini with the type of Caesar sauce on the bottom and cheese on top was super also. We will definitely be back if we had another time we were gonna be in Kahului Wailuku area. Happy hour in the afternoon and also in the evening after eight. We had the House margarita which was half-price and it was really good.

(Hard not to overeat here.) Wait staff was very friendly and helpful. This place is a Must Try in the area!

Recently reopened with dine in and takeout, it is a good solid restaurant. They are still…read moreorganizing their set up so there was a lot of table shuffling going on around us during our meal, and the patio area wasn't open yet, but it is still early days after opening. Only drawback is that the space is very noisy, it echoes and amplifies sound, so they need some sound proofing going forward, and maybe some decorations on the walls. However, the service was excellent and friendly, the menu had plenty of choice, and the drinks were competitively priced. I ordered a rose wine, I hadn't expected it to be sparkling but for $7.95 it was decent and I enjoyed it. Beer and coke came quickly and both were cold and refreshing on a hot day. We ordered: Vegetable rolls - 6 crunchy veggie filled rolls served on cabbage with a chilli dipping sauce, nice crunch and a small size so you didn't fill up before your main Seafood Chow Fun - Wide noodles, veg and tail on juicy shrimp. Nice texture and flavour, slightly oily, but we all liked it Sweet and Sour Chicken - sweetened with pineapple chunks, deep fried chicken chunks, good sauce. White rice - individual bowls are delivered Stiry fry veggie rice - large serving to share and it had plenty of veggies and was a good family serving Hand torn cabbage - my favourite of the dishes, braised cabbage in a spicy sauce with peppercorns and chillies. It wasn't too hot, not as hot as I like, but the flavour was good. Suitable for vegetarians and vegans. This was a nice solid meal, not upmarket surroundings, but free parking out back and good customer service, with tasty food and cheap drinks, which make it a restaurant that will prove to be very popular and definitely returnable. Great addition to the thankfully growing number of restaurants in Lahaina. They would be even better if they offered a Kamaaina discount to locals.

I took the advice of Maui's CM Maria and made sure I visit this November trip. I asked the hubby to take me, although he said it was a little farther out since we had a few more stops to go before we leave my favorite island, but he happily took me here. Patsy's started from out as a food truck, now to cute little shop. I met and spoke to Marisa, she is super friendly and got to learn more about Patsy's Food. The cute photo is Grandma Patsy's her food, sauces legacy ,continues on here at Patsy's Food. The menu is very simple, ( about 5-6 items) & the special of the day. This way the cook which is Marisa's husband can focus on those dishes! I wanted to know what's popular and Marisa mentioned in this order: chicken tempura, chicken katsu & the donburi. I'm sure all of them are all popular! Since I already have some other foods that I picked up along the way and wanted to try the signature chicken tempura bites, I got a plate of that with all rice, no sides and got a bottle of the spicy sauce. I can't wait to use that! We ate the food at the airport and I loved it, the tempura batter is so soft, not as crispy since we didn't eat it right away and taste so unique. I never had tempura with chicken, ever. I loved dipping the chicken tempura in that sauce, so yummy! ( dip, eat with rice, repeat. repeat..) I can't wait to go back for more next visit and I need to try the donburi and rest of the menu items . Did you know you can get an entire bucket of tempura chicken, $40.?! Please support this local business, my very first time visiting and I am a fan!
