Joey's Kitchen in Napili Market is absolutely fantastic. The garlic chicken was a family favorite. The place is really small but the food fills your mouth with delicious flavor. It is a mixture of Filipino and Hawaiian and Thai dishes, hence an Asian fusion, (Filipino's are actually Pacific Islanders, not Asians). Would highly recommend to grab a bite here after a morning snorkeling tour. read more

Love it here! We're on our honeymoon and came across this gem at a food court in whaler's village. We didn't wanna pay an arm and a leg for yet another dinner at ridiculous resort prices AGAIN. And we definitely didn't at this spot - the food is awesome, large portions, and tasty too. read more

Joey's Kitchen - Chicken katsu, lumpia, braised short ribs both dishes with adobo fried rice - Asian Fusion Near Me - Lahaina, Hawaii

Small joint within a little food court in the shopping center. Good loco moco. Only take credit cards for orders over $10. Small seating area for all restaurants within that area. read more

Just ate there for dinner with a couple of friends, I ordered the Ahi steak and coconut shrimp, for the price of $19.95 I was expecting better!! The ahi itself was cooked too salty and the wasabi sauce on top of it made it worse, the shrimp itself was good but could use a little more dipping sauce, but it was my mistake of not asking for more. It was a little disappointing, and that's just the meal I had, so 2 stars is good enough, it wasn't really bad but yet wasn't very good. Wouldn't recommend damaging $20 on the meal I had, looks good on paper but disappointing results. With all that said and done, it's just the meal I had, but other than that I would want to go back and try something else. read more

This was horrible food and no flavor. Service was poor... It was honestly disappointing! When we got there the young gal working the register was sleeping at the counter and had her head down. After maybe 5 minutes she finally put her head up and sat up and realized she had customers. I will never recommend this place or come back. read more

I get the whole island pricing thing but I'd like to bring to Management's attention, the fact that the price of their appetizer shrimp is obnoxious. $13 for 5 shrimp on a paper plate in a food court made me straight up angry. I'm over it now, stepped away and approached this review from a calmer state. Which is why the result is 2 stars. So if you want the coconut shrimp, might as well order the whole plate for $16. read more

I accidentally came here, intending to visit the location in Napili (not sure if they're connected). I was craving good Filipino food, so I ordered lumpia and pancit; the lumpia was okay, and the pancit was terrible. Don't waste your time. I was very disappointed. read more

Delicious but what a rip off! I paid $$13 for 3 shrimp and when I confronted the cashier, all I got was attitude. The shrimp are local but she tried to explain that they r not locally sourced. The total opposite of what the poster behind the counter says. AVOID! read more

I am sure other dishes are good, but I Ordered LocoMoco bowl. No taste no gravy poured soy sauce to bring out the taste. Hamburger a frozen on bought at Costco. It is embarrassing to the Hawaiian culture. Never will I go there again read more

Kahlua pork plate was pretty bland. I've had better back home. Must be better options around.

This is a very difficult place to review because there are some great things to say and some not so great things to say. Overall, though, I think it just needs better management. If they don't make some changes right away, they won't last another year, which would be a shame because I actually really like the food. First of all, the menu is so scattered it makes ordering confusing, especially if you're not filipino. Second, the service needs serious work. If the owner is reading this, you need to fire everyone who works behind the register. I went there about 4 times during my stay a couple weeks ago and everytime while I was waiting, I see many non-filipinos look at the menu and then simply walk away. I think this is mainly because the girls behind the counter don't acknowledge them or say hi. To me, this is a direct violation of the Aloha spirit. Say hi to your customers! Ask them if they have any questions. They won't know what the heck longsilog is. To the owner, do yourself a favor. Go to your nearest Ululani's Shave Ice and observe how they treat and greet their customers. That's how your team should be. You also have your own eating area there. Encourage your staff to go to your customers and ask them how they're doing. Food is arguably expensive but this didn't bother me so much because they are conveniently located next door. We were staying at the Westin's Beach tower which is lterally just steps away. I didn't mind paying a little extra to get a quick plate lunch. As fas as the actual food, I really enjoyed it. The pork adobo fried rice is excellent along with the garlic chicken. Kalbi ribs are also very good. Loco Moco is good too but they need to make sure the eggs aren't overcooked. Breakfast was also a nice treat with the longsilog. Overall, I would definitely come back and I do recommend it. I just have doubts they will manage to stay open with their current operations. read more

Amidst the boutique shops and pricey restaurants at Whaler's Village, this spot is a hidden gem. Be sure to go into the food court on the lowest level to find Joey's Kitchen. My husband and I ordered two dishes - ahi tuna & fresh marlin with coconut shrimp - and were completely satisfied. We are already considering ordering takeout later today. Local flavors, fresh fish, and lovely Filipino staff can be found here! Thank you, Joey, for sharing your talents with us. read more

The food was good but they can stock up on sriracha and the cash register was rude. The employee refuse to give sriracha and told me to use the empty bottle read more

Definitely shouldn't judge a book by its cover - Literally in the food court of a shopping center but AMAZING food. I got the coconut shrimp and the bf had short ribs. Both were absolutely phenomenal. read more

Located in the "food court" of Whaler's Village, this place was a surprising find. We got the Huli Huli Chicken Plate and the Short Rib plate. Both super good grinds and fulfilling. If your in the area, and just looking for food that isnt going to cost you a lot you gotta try this place out. If you want ambiance, get it to go and take it to the beach or your hotel pool! read more

Really good food at really fair prices. It's nice to be able to feed the family for $20 in kaanapali and support this friendly establishment. There are also quality live shows 4-5 nights per week on the outdoor stage starting at 7 so it's perfect to grab some dinner, watch a show, and let the kids roam around the outdoor square. We actually went here for three meals over 10 days and it was good each time. read more

We tried fish and chips and some fish tacos. Both were good, and the fish was very fresh. Was a good, cheaper alternative so many of the touristy beach restaurants. read more

Great food!! Melt in your mouth spare ribs! Get the garlic fried rice.. So delicious. It's a nice surprise in Whalers Village. If you want a home cooked local meal this is the spot! read more

Best food we had while in Maui- skip the big name restaurants and supports businesses like this!

Fantastic little hole in the wall eatery. Super local feel, amazing food, and take out is available so you can enjoy your food by the beach if you wish. Beef kalbi, ahi poke, and chicken stir fry were all amazing. read more

Joey Makadangdang is a local legend!!! I eat here often, almost daily as I work with the Dive shop and Surf School in the Village. Everything I've ever had has been amazing! Don't miss this spot for well priced local grinds. Aloha! read more

Great fish and chips with a really tasty slaw. Sweet lady behind the counter. Fast and fresh. Very surprising for a food court!

It's ok nothing great or bad. They charge $1 for refill which is nice they tell you when your paying in case you only have cards n you must spend $10 min for cards. Service was quick and friendly. I ordered loco moco and the patty tasted kind of funky. read more

Just ate at Joey's. The food is delicious and staff was very courteous. I had the beef dish and was fantastic. Joey informed me it takes 4 days to prep. It melted in your mouth. I will be going back several times before my vacation ends. read more

I wish I had discovered this place earlier on during my trip out to Maui. Within 3 days time, I went to this place 3 times for dinner and once for breakfast. This venue is located in the food court area of Whaler's Village, which is on the ground floor. I believe they had only been open for a month when I went in March 2015 but this place is truly one of the hidden gems in the area. The chef is a former cook from Roy's and has had over 20 years of experience with the former employer. This small venue doesn't seem like much but the food is amazing. When I get a moment, I'll post some pics from the dining experiences and post more content to describe the dishes. Wish I was in Maui eating at Joey's Kitchen now. read more

We drove 2 miles up here to try their food. I went up to the place and the girl that works there ignored us. I went up to the counter and she turned around without saying anything to us. This place is in the food court and the girl is the rudest person I have ever met. read more

Nice quick and cheapish option in whalers. Hard to say cheap for $20 meals but thats Maui. The short ribs are amazing. Super soft and juicy. Cocunut shrimp not bad either. DO NOT GET THE POKE. Poor quality fish, just gross. read more

Meeeh... Maybe good for a food court fast food joint but definitely not worth driving to the mall to have a meal there. The chicken katsu was overcooked and the fish and chips was too oily. The katsu portion was small. read more

Horrible service. Horrible pricing. Horrible portion size. Would not recommend ever. :)

I would give less stars if I could. I ordered garlic chicken. First they want to serve it with Mac salad. That should of been a tip off. They were pleasant enough to change that to salad for me. I am in my 60s and have been ordering garlic chicken for over forty years. Never before have I gotten batter coated deep fried lumps of chicken. They squirted some sauce across the top of it and put a scoop of rice on the side. Honestly the worse meal I've ever had. My husband ordered an equally bad dish with the Mac salad. He said the Mac salad had potato mixed in with it and mayonnaise. Period. Sorry but this place is horrible. Have no idea how the heck it gets 4 star reviews. read more

I ordered the Salmon entree which was at just barely par on quality. The bacon cheeseburger was good with the meat being cooked to your request of rare, medium, etc. Lumpia is decent too. I also ordered Adobe rice which in concept should be very good, but the pork they added was not good and has an unpleasant aroma. Be sure to double check your receipt after paying and order if you're doing take out. I was overcharged and they forgot my drink. Also, they were out of Poke. read more

Great little spot in the food court of Whalers. Beats paying the pricey restaurants every night. Downstairs in the mall. We got the ramen and the garlic chicken. Both excellent. $23 out the door - boom! read more

Best Hawaiian and Filipino resto in Lahaina!!I tried the braised beef. I should have tried the hulihuli chicken ang garlic chicken but they were all out. Anyway next time Im in Lahaina I would try them out. read more

I ate breakfast here two days in a row. Had an excellent plate breakfast with spam and sausage for only $8 and a breakfast burrito the next day for $8 also. Both were very good. read more

So far best plate lunch we've had on Maui. Everything we had was solid. We tried several other well reviewed places only to be disappointed. His food is leaps above your typical food court mess. Definite gem in what would be typically be your tourist trap food court. read more

Great authentic local Philipino, fresh fish and island fare. Prices are a nice relief and service could not be any friendlier or fast.

We were shopping at the mall one night and bumped into this place. We weren't really that hungry, but I decided to check this place out based on the fellow Yelpers reviews. I must say, I was definitely let down big time on this place. We ordered the Kalbi Beef Combo Plates with brown rice. The Kalbi was chewy, but the taste was good. The brown rice was so bad and bland that we didn't bother eating much of it. The Spam Musubi here is good, but hard to mess that up, especially in Hawaii. read more

Ate here a few times for breakfast. Seemed like a much better option then the $30 buffet at my resort. NOT crowded in the morning. Good coffee. Great French toast. Great value. read more

My daughter asked for the burger to be cooked well done and it was pink in the middle. My daughter ate most of it and I had a little bit. I showed it to the women at the counter and she asked if wanted another one. I said I'll pass. Hope we don't get sick. read more

This place is great. Whenever I am staying in Kaanapali I come here to get breakfast, lunch or dinner, throughout my stay. It's good and convenient when staying close to whalers village. My go to spot for the last 3 years! read more
