Surprisingly good food for a "food court" joint. Came here for lunch. The mahi sandwich, chicken quesadillas and the Mac-n-cheese were all delicious. Great prices as well, especially after paying $30 a plate at the resort restaurants. read more

4 meezly pieces of shrimp for almost $20. It didn't even taste very good. And did not look like previous Yelp pics. Never again!!

It's a place for good local food without breaking the bank. The place in inside a small food court at the Whalers. The Maui Wowie Poke was fresh and delicious, as well as the Asian Chicken Salad. read more

Food here is not very good. Pancakes are meh. Too sweet. Fresh mahi mahi is okay. Short rib hash is super oily and has a lot of fat in it.

Enjoyed their food so much, went back again. I had the salmon and shrimp. Excellent. The next time I had some chicken something. (Not teriyaki, but close.) it, too, was good but the salmon rocked. I've eaten out a lot in Maui and I would definitely make this one of my regular spots. read more

I liked the food. The spam musubi was really good. It literally was just spam and rice with no sauce. Amazing. I got a basic dry spam, no taste egg and rice plate. The spam was perfect but how can someone mess that up ya know. Nothing tooooo special. But I wouldn't eat here again tbh. Jheeeeez read more

Great prices; food is great. Good go to when you're in a jam and need breakfast or lunch. The coconut braised short rib is really good. Loco moco was awesome. Just all around a good joint in a great location. read more

Horrible service! We walked up to the counter to order and the girl just ignored us with her back turned to us. Really unfriendly when she began to take our order. Kept turning the other way and talking to someone in the kitchen. I ordered poke and it was so salty I could barely eat it! Way too much soy sauce! That's all I could taste. Really surprised about why this place has such good reviews. Wouldn't eat here again read more

Good, not great... fell a bit short of our expectations, especially next to other reviews. Had the grilled chicken, but basically tasted like a version of teryaki, but the description seemed more like a BBQ/grilled flavour. Joey's also provided a meal on one of the snorkel cruises we went on, and food was very average too. read more

A delicious gem in the food court at Whaler's village! Delicious and well priced for the area. Quick and easy.

Doesn't look like much from the outside, but this place is DELICIOUS! Best island food I've ever tried! Mostly locals eating there, so you know it's good. The garlic chicken was the best thing my table tried, but everything was good. The ahi katsu, ahi poke and kalbi beef were all yummy! A+ for great flavors! read more

Local food in the heart of Ka'anapali Beach! As a local Filipino girl I love being able to go out to a restaurant and eat comfort food. It's great to be able to go somewhere and order up pork fat. Or have fried akule and a clean kitchen at home. What could be better? I can't say I'm a regular customer, but when I am in the mood I'll order ahead, slide into beach parking and grab a few dishes to take home for the next few days. I like the Kaanapali location better than the Napili location since it's closer to me. I haven't had anything bad on the menu, still working on trying everything on it. They do a great job of adding nice little twists to familiar dishes. As I'm writing this, I'm trying to figure out why I don't go there more often? And before this is done I'm going to add a reminder to my calendar to stop by more often...because I just realized, it is on my favorites list! The Adobo Fried Rice is a unanimous family favorite. read more

For a quick, cheap spot the food was good. Sometimes you don't want to sit down at one of the expensive time consuming restaurants around all the hotels. good spot. read more

Wasn't expecting such good food! Had the pork noodle bowl and combo plate of short ribs and breaded pork cutlet. The cutlet was all right but the short rib and pork noodle bowl was fabulous. Good portions and reasonable price along with fast service made this a great experience. Wish they would have let us know about validating are parking ticket,wasn't happy about the 9 dollar fee. I would definetly go here again lots of items to choose from! read more

Ordered the Hawaiian plate. Food came out fast and hot. It was OK. However, I tasted it repeatedly for the next 4 hours. Also, fairly pricy. But everything in Whaler's Village is. read more

Heard this is the ex exec chef for Roys. Lets just say it is a shame the next time I come to Maui this place will be wall to wall and the word will get out. Beyond Ono. Had the coconut shrimp. That is my barometer for a Hawaiian restaurant. Killed it. Once again. A shame it is going to be a knockout. Good for them. read more

Fantastic Fresh Fish and Yummy Chips... The Grill Mahi Sandwich was Great... Kids were super happy and food came Fast. . . Don't get Fooled by your Food Court Phobia's ... This place was Solid...!!! Can't wait to come back and try something else... read more

I had the braised ribs. It was AMAZING! The flavor was just indescribable. It was so good that I got out of my seat, dropped a $5 in the tip jar and told the cashier to relay my compliments to the chef. Coincidentally he was just walking out from the back so I got to tell him personally. He was talked to me for a bit and was very pleased to hear that I was satisfied. read more

Can't say enough about the food here!! Please stop eating whatever you're having at your fancy hotel resort and eat here. We visited this restaurant on our last day in Maui which was a huge disappointment to find a gem like this on the last day. We ate the short rib hash and eggs for breakfast and then returned the same day for the fish tacos and, chicken, and pork for lunch. The Mac salad is a treat. You will not be disappointed. read more

What a great find!! This is a casual takeout counter at the food court in the whaler village shopping mall. We usually eat at one of the restaurants but had seen the reviews so decided to try it. We had read that the chef had worked at Roy's for many years. Oh my gosh, the coconut shrimp was one of the best I have ever had! They were lightly coated and cooked just right. The five shrimps came with a scoop of delicately flavored Mac salad and a scoop of rice. My daughter had the short ribs dinner which was extremely flavorful and very tender. The portion of meat was generous with a nice gravy. Definitely the quality of both dishes could easily be served in the higher end restaurants. Take advantage of the convenience and enjoy some excellent food!! It is unusual to have such high quality food at a food court. We plan to return on our next trip back to Maui. The coconut shrimp was delicious!! read more

Just had dinner tonight at Joey's and I can't see why anyone would not enjoy the food. We really liked our coconut shrimp and Ono fish special. The shrimp were plump and perfectly fried, as were the small, freshly cut French fries. Not greasy in the least. Shrimp came with a delicious sweet-spicy dipping sauce. The slaw was done with a vinegar-based dressing, not the usual mayonnaise-overload style slaw, but I'm not a big slaw fan so it's hard to judge that. My Ono fish special was panned and topped with an Asian-style (tahini-based?) sauce, and crushed macadamia nuts. Different but very tasty, and a big 5-6oz chunk of Ono that was flaky and still very moist. Served with a large scoop of white rice and a macaroni salad lightly seasoned with a cheese sauce. You order at the front counter and they call you when it's ready. With a large diet coke and tax our bill was $33 (my Ono special was $20). It's very simple diner-style decor, but everything is clean and tidy, clearly well-cared for. There was a line of people waiting to order the whole time we were there. So I guess the word is out, but our wait in line was only 5 minutes and we had our food 6-8 minutes after ordering. For an affordable, quality meal I'd recommend Joey's. They have a really good looking bowl of ramen, maybe I'll have that for lunch. ;-) read more

A very nice hole in the wall. Well prepared food with good flavours.

Hidden gem inside the food court at Whalers Village. Easy to miss, but you shouldn't- great food. Hard working people, I had breakfast/lunch/dinner there in a few days - same staff. Quality eats on a beach that is filled with tourist traps. Expert mode - bring a great bottle of wine from the nearby ABC store in a water bottle. read more

Came here because of the reviews, only to be let down. Didn't understand what all the hype was about. I had the Loco Moco and didn't like the meatloaf they put in it. It tasted too sweet for the dish and the gravy was thick and saltier, which I didn't think paired very well. It was hard to find too, tucked in the back of the food court. Also had banana macadamia pancakes - they were good but not worth all the effort to find the location. read more

We came here to get our 16 month old son a snack while we were shopping. We got the mac and cheese. It was by far the best mac and cheese I've ever had my entire life. I don't know what they make it with, but it was to die for. I so wish I could go back and get more, but we live on the mainland. The serving was huge and the price wasn't horrible considering where it was located. Send some to San Diego? read more

Amazingly authentic and delicious food plus great prices near the resorts. I highly recommend it.

Food was eh, Ramen had frozen chunks in it, adobo fried rice was bland, and burger was hard.

Never thought I would find a good tasting Hawaiian food place at a mall, but I did. We came here about 3 times during our stay. My only complaint is the food wasn't consistent the last time we went. Maybe a different cook? But overall great food. read more

GREAT Mahi mahi tacos! Sauce was incredible and fish was delicious. Kobe beef rib plate was also amazing. Meat was cooked perfectly and great flavor. read more

My wife and I returned 3 times in 2 weeks back to this restaurant because the food was SOOOO GOOOD...The first time my wife & I had Mongchong fish over a coconut risotto & I had some Dive Scallops with a Miso dressing over mixed greens..Also, a lobster Mac & Cheese which my wife went nuts over. The killer and top appetizer they sell I learned about overhearing someone who went on a sunset cruise that had Brussel sprouts to die for.. She said while she was eating that they were better than the cruise. I did not take that recommendation lightly. So two days later we are back at Joey's & I remember the lady's comment. I am 71 years, and I never could stand Brussel sprouts because of experiences from my youth. I had them at Joey's for the first time in 63 years.. To say they were tasty is an understatement. They were the BEST OF ALL TIME. Pan-roasted cut in half, that had a Caeser's dressing and top off with some parmesan cheese. I came back 3 days later to have another side... I learned that Joey was a chef that started and worked at Roy's for many years. One of the best meals we had on Maui multiple times.. We took friends to dinner with us that never had been... You can't go wrong. read more

We ate here for a quick breakfast before parasailing. I had a croissant sandwich which was good. My wife had a breakfast plate which she said was okay. Nothing special here for breakfast but a decent meal for the price when compared to the resort breakfast prices. read more

Food is just bad and over priced... Service was relatively quick and good though!

We came here for my sister's birthday as they had no wait time as opposed to a sushi place down the street that apparently forgot my reservation. The food here is flavorful and authentic. It's also less expensive than comparable places in the area; which is a bonus. The owners and staff were friendly. It's a short distance from the beach line to this restaurant and also within walking/bicycle distance of several hotels. They also have tasty cucumber-lemon water (I like drinks with cucumber in them). I ordered fish and chips (I know, not very Hawaiian while visiting Maui, but I enjoy it at home and thought I'd compare; it didn't disappoint). The only reason I didn't give this place a full 5 stars is because it's fairly simple inside and maybe could be dressed up a little; which is of no consequence to the food; which was good. It's an easy pull off the freeway and fairly easy to find as well. read more

Joeys kitchen was good. The pancakes are delicious. I also had the egg white croissant, simple but good.

We are staying at the Wesin Kaanapali Villas and heard that the chef at the Whaler's Village Food Court spot was previously a chef at Roy's. Having a desire for great Filipino food we gave Joey's a shot and we are so happy that we did. My wife had the adobo rice and lumpier while I tried his daily special of Ahi Tataki with noodles. My cold dish was amazing and I love the seasoning and the cold temperature of the meal. There are many other items on his regular menu we will try before leaving Maui. We strongly recommend you visit Joey's when you come to Maui! Aloha! read more

i was surprised at all the great reviews. we gave it two tries and both times it disappointed. the huli huli chicken was pretty good. good sized portion of leg/thigh on the bone and had a good flavor. the ono and coconut shrimp plate was $18 (i think) and the portions were so ridiculously small. hubs said it was just okay. didn't care for the mac salad. we also had the kahlua pork ramen and it wasn't good at all. the noodles were too thick to be ramen noodles and the broth tasted of salt and completely lacked flavor. we had the kid's cheese quesadilla and we got a small styrofoam container crammed with cut up quesadillas. even though it's in a food court, i still expected more because of the price and from everything i've read about it. read more

Joey is a real Chef and the quality of his food reflects it. Fresh ingredients, unique flavors and fair prices. I've tried the Fish Tacos, Mac Salad, Mahi Sandwich and his Poke bowl and and always impressed. Nice addition to the food court!! read more

We went to Joey's three times in 5 days if that isn't telling you something. The hash with egg on top was delish!

The best Huli Huli chicken. Joey was the former executive chef at Roy's. He is an amazing chef.

Haven't been to Maui in at least 5 years. But prior to that my family and I had gone every year for 6 years. Our first night in Maui usually consists of dinner at Roys or Leilani's. This time around,we got to Kaanapali late and didn't want to wait an hour for dinner. We decided to eat a quick dinner and read about Joey's Kitchen. That was a great accident. I expected fast food taste as the price was inexpensive. To our surprise, the food was excellent. We had adobo fried rice, Kalua pork, short ribs and ramen. I know excellent Asian food, coming from San Francisco. Joey's Kitchen was superb!!! Ironically, as we sat there savoring our food, we noticed many people looking at Joey's menu, only to turn around to get Subway or tacos. People, you're in Hawaii, try something local! You won't regret Joey's Kitchen. read more
