the food was so good i would high recommend getting the garlic chicken, employee's were so nice and careing

Nice place in a strip mall, so there are no views but it's nice inside. We did takeout however, so we could eat on the patio of our place. Garlic chicken was great and adobo pork fried rice were great. I am not sure if their online order prices were the same as in restaurant but we did online. We tried to go to breakfast the next day but they opened a little later than we needed so we were unable to visit again on this trip. Definitely would go again! read more

Came here because of all the hype I saw online and on TikTok and wanted to support my fellow Filipinos. I went around 6:30 PM and the place was already quite packed. They should certainly expand since it's so popular! I really wanted to try the adobo but most items with pork were already sold out :( I ended up getting the chowfun which was such a small portion for a high price. The noodles felt a bit hard and lacked flavor. If you're looking for authentic Filipino food, I'm not confident that this is the place for it since it's "Asian Fusion." Putting this as 3 stars since I'm only judging based off my dish and my boyfriend's dish (crispy pork belly) which was also pretty mid. I would come back again for takeout to try another dish. read more

Spot was recommended by Zip line tour guides. Grabbed takeout for dinner Garlic Chicken: good tangy flavor with rice and Mac salad highly recommend. 4.5 stars. Kalua Pork: sold out so we opted for.... Krispy pork belly with rice and Mac salad. The pork was crispy however the porked lacked flavor. It did come with liquid like hot dipping sauce but dish was just 2.5 stars. read more

We came a few times and got: garlic chicken, fish tacos, lumpia, loco moco, garlic shrimp and fried rice. Would probably skip the lumpia and loco moco (great quality but not my favorite flavor) in the future but would come back for the rest. You can feel the quality of all of the dishes but the garlic chicken flavor and texture is the winner. The restaurant feels fast casual ordering up front and then finding your own seat. As a group of 2, we never had trouble finding a seat but might have to wait a bit for a larger group. The restroom is shared restroom of the shopping center outside the restaurant (ask for the code). read more

Tucked away in the corner of a small shopping center sits Joey's Kitchen! After seeing its popularity on TikTok, we decided to check it out. Unfortunately, a lot of the items I was interested in trying were on the breakfast menu, which was kind of a bummer. We ended up settling on the Garlic Chicken & Fried Crispy Pork (Lechon) plate. The garlic chicken was fried to perfection & extremely juicy underneath which was a nice surprise -- however, I felt like the chicken itself didn't really taste like anything without the mayo / unagi sauce topping which I feel like is a bit of a cop out, not really sure if it's premade or if they make it in house, but I think I was hoping that it would be pan fried / baked with a glaze on top or even similar to barbecued chicken. It was still very tasty, but at $22 for a plate, I was unimpressed by it. My partner ordered the Lechon plate -- he personally thought that it was juicy and fatty, dipped in the spicy vinegar and side of tomato was nice to cut the fat. He did however feel that at the price point (also around $22-23), it wouldn't hurt to provide an extra scoop of rice or mac salad. Overall, the meal wasn't bad, but it's not a must go out of your way to try type of place, definitely check it out if you're in Lahaina! read more

Some of the best lunch we had while visiting Maui. We were in the mood for something asian/islandy and this Filipino spot was perfect. The food was fresh and flavorful, and the place felt homey with welcoming servers. We tried the lemongrass tofu and chicken pancit. We ordered at the counter and the food was brought to our table. My wife and I enjoyed it so much we could have had a 2nd helping of both dishes right after. Great if you're looking for something lighter that doesn't make you feel like taking a nap after. Enjoy! read more

IMHO My husband was craving Crispy Pata, and we knew just where to order from! From our resort villa, we online ordered a large Crispy Pata, $46, and was told it would be ready in 20 minutes! Our Crispy Pata and a box of rice and dipping sauces were ready and waiting for us! It was delicious; fatty, crunchy, and full of flavor! This Crispy Pata lasted us quite a few meals, which we added to saimin, or rice. If you want great local Filipino/Asian fare, come to Joey's Kitchen in Napili. I am sorry that we missed the opening of their new restaurant, Dang Dang Noodles, by a few days. Next visit! read more

We came here twice on our Maui trip, mostly out of convenience and the food was good. It's pricey. Yes it is. But, a solid showing. You order at the front and they bring the food to you and you can order drinks separately at the bar. The fish tacos were great. Like really good. 3 meaty tacos with a wonderful slaw. My son got the smashburger which was equally delicious, athough you did have to order $7 fries separately. The fried rice looked good and a huge portion, but sadly when we went for dinner at about 730pm, they were sold out. The poke was solid. The noodle was ok. A little bland imho, but very fresh. The ube cocktail was fun and delicious! Pricey for not the biggest drink, but again, unique and tasty. Overall, a great spot for this area and overall a solid food experience! I come from a land of great Asian eats, so I'm a tough critic. read more

We have been by this and the Lahaina location do many times but never had the time to try it. My wife really wanted to try their crispy patta so I agreed to go try it. While I adore and often cook a lot of Asian food I'm not such a fan of Filipino food yet around it more than any other food with family. Bad choice. After driving there from Lahaina for lunch, this dish was unavailable?? Even yelpers rave about it! So we ordered the pork belly and wanted chow fun but they only have the chicken variety? So there is a reason why the Asian restaurants we usually dine at make beef chow fun. The chicken version was bland and wanting for something else to complete it! But surely edible and nicely cooked noodles. The pork belly was ok but not slap your momma I'll go back for that good. The Mac salad was awful compared to much more affordable plate lunch places. It was flavorless, overcooked pasta, and a gritty texture! Weirdly the chairs there at the tables are low and you feel like you are at the children's table at Thanksgiving. So much so that us and two other groups including the ones that moved after ordering to our vacated table moved from the regular tables to the ones at the window with a bench on one side. We had fun joking with our replacements about that! So for the most part here it appears to be tourist clientele and not many Filipinos but my wife. I think that these exceptionally high prices for basic dishes and burgers (she asked why would people go to a Filipino restaurant and order a burger) are why not many locals eat here. And frankly most aunties make better Filipino food better at home. Glad we tried but not again. Checked off of our try try list. They didn't even have a signature dish available that we went particularly to get. read more

I stopped by here 2 days ago by myself for lunch. My father and I had been seeing the sights of West Maui when lunchtime snuck up on us. So I fired up Yelp and found Joey's Kitchen Napili. It's located in the Napili Plaza strip mall right off the Honoapiilani Highway. Originally I was going to order in person but the line was moving pretty slow. So while I was standing there I placed an online order for the garlic chicken, which quoted me 30 minutes. The inside of Joey's Kitchen is on the smaller side with most of the space taken up by tables along with a bar. After ordering I walked around for about 20 minutes before heading back. My food ended up being ready around the 25 minute mark, which beat the original estimate. The menu described my garlic chicken as rice flour and egg coated chicken breast pieces deep fried with sriracha aioli and sweet soy glaze, served with white rice and macaroni salad. Once I got back to the car I dug in. The chicken here felt more like thighs and was cooked really well. It had a nice crispy exterior while the inside stayed juicy. The sweet soy glaze brought a salty flavor while the sriracha aioli added creaminess along with a little kick and some nice umami. Unfortunately about halfway through I started to feel like the chicken was too salty for my taste. I still ate about three quarters of it but couldn't quite finish. The rice was fine but nothing special while the mac salad was actually pretty good and one of the better ones I had on this trip. The bottom line for me is that I would stop by here again in the future. While the salt level got to be a bit much, I did enjoy the meal overall and would be interested in trying more of their menu. read more

PORK ADOBO was my favorite and completely worth it!! So buttery and flavorful probably the best I have had. GARLIC CHICKEN was good but seemed over hyped to me and not very garlic forward. They don't skip on PORTIONS or QUALITY here which was so refreshing. The other dishes looked so good! Seems like a great local FAMILY OWNED VIBE. The cocktail drinks looked very fun! Would go back on the next trip to try something new. read more

Casual dining in the Napilli plaza. Order/Pay first, then find your own seat. Infamous dine & drive garlic kauai shrimp plate is good, a bit lacking in flavor imo, nothing to write home about. The pork adobe fried rice had a lot of pork in it. The fried rice was good, but heavy handed on the seasoning. I love a seasoned dish, but even for me this was too salty. read more

Came here for the garlic shrimp. It tasted really good overall, but overpriced for 5 pieces. Like someone said in a previous review, I also enjoyed it at the food trucks. Costed less, also tasted good, and higher quantity. We came during dinner so it was really packed and overwhelming. You have to order at the counter, and then you can go find a table. My husband and I sat at the bar. Bartender must've been really tired or something because he didn't really talk to us or even smiled at us. Maybe it was because I didn't order drinks? I ended up trying to finish my dish fast so that we can hurry up and dip out of there. read more

Food: Garlic Chicken (10/10), Loco Moco (5/10), Calamansi juice (2/10 - super sour) Service: The female cashier had no personality. I'm assuming she was not in the mood to talk to anyone. However, the waiter was SUPER nice! Ambiance: It felt very cramped and the seats were very uncomfortable. Last but not least, portion size: sadly not enough for even 1 person. Or they were being stingy that afternoon. Will we try again? Very unlikely. read more

The food and service is actually a 5 star. The garlic shrimp was actually good. And the lady who took our order was very nice and efficient. However, the price was kinda high. I think the garlic shrimp was $27 plus tax and service charge. There were only 5 shrimps. So it was like $6 a shrimp. It's obviously much better than regular plate lunches but I feel like Oahus north shore shrimp trucks like Romys and Giovani is just as good at a lower price. In fact, they have more sauce than you can mix with the rice to make it more ono. read more

One of our go-to stops in Maui, we ordered here multiple times throughout our week stay. I definitely recommend calling ahead though. Everything is made fresh to order, so it can take up to 30 minutes, but you can taste the quality of care in the food. We ordered the Garlic Chicken with rice and mac salad. The chicken was crispy, seasoned and salted well, and paired perfectly with their house-made sauce that had a nice kick. The mac salad was creamy and comforting. The only miss was the rice, which was a bit mushy and slightly overcooked both times. We also got the Crispy Pork Belly, super crispy on the outside, though the pieces were on the fattier side (great if that's your preference). It came with an acidic sauce that helped cut through the richness, plus a fresh tomato salad that balanced everything out nicely. Overall, solid flavors and generous portions that fill you up. Freshly made food takes a little patience, but it's completely worth stopping by Joey's. read more

We came here on a Friday night and it actually wasn't too crowded. You place your order at the cashier on the right then find seating (half the tables are communal). We got the kale salad, fish tacos and the pork adobo. All of it was good--kale salad was really big, slightly too much dressing for us but still good. The tacos had a lot of fish which we really liked, but were a little bit wet at the bottom so the tortillas fell apart midway thru and got a bit messy. The pork adobo was very good and tender too. Definitely recommend giving this place a try! read more

It was very busy when we got there around 6:30 pm on Friday. It's a small restaurant with lots of noise and a few tables inside. It was pretty hot and humid inside, and the smell reminded me of the small homes in rural South Korea. By the time we got to the host to order, she said it would take 45 minutes to get our food, which makes sense since it was so busy -- with a line out the door. We said it was fine, grabbed our number, the stopped by the market near the restaurant to grab some snacks for the weekend. When we got back, we were able to grab a seat near the door. It had a funny booth where you needed to scoot the table to get seated. We ordered the garlic chicken and pork adobo fried rice with a Sprite: The garlic chicken came out first. I give it a 2/5. It's a breaded chicken with spicy mayo and some sort of soy-based sauce on top. It was not very good and not saucy enough (like a typical orange or sesame chicken). If you like Korean fried chicken or typically well-coated Asian fried chickens, skip this one. The host came to us around 7:30 pm and delivered the Pork Adobo fried rice. There was a little miscommunication about whether or not they had any remaining servings left for the night. Despite the miscommunication, the fried rice was the standout item of the night for us. It had a nice, well-rounded smoky taste and tasty pork bites in every scoop! I would definitely recommend this one for anyone. We had a little mix up with one of our dishes, so it wasn't the smoothest of experiences. They also tend to run out of dishes if you get there too late. Seating was manageable as most tables were turned over within the two hours we were there. Nonetheless, if you get here in time and order right, it's a decent Maui eating experience. read more

We needed to go next door to the Napili Market and after checking out their menu decided to stop in at Joey's for breakfast. I got the Local Breakfast, as a tourist I don't really know what locals eat but I liked this one. It came with a couple of eggs, spam, Portuguese sausage, and a scoop of white rice. That spam was salty and flavorful and it reminded me of meals my mother served so many decades ago. Nowadays spam is forbidden by my wife and doctor, that made it especially good. They have a few tables inside and out, we opted to sit at a counter facing the kitchen and got into a nice conversation with the staff. This was a nice morning stop on a beautiful Maui day. read more

Joey's Kitchen is a Hawaiian-inspired Filipino restaurant located in the Kapalua area of Maui. It's located in a plaza with ample parking and minutes from the beach. The namesake is Chef Joey Macadangdang who opened up another location in the Kahului area near the airport. We ordered a ton of food for 10 people: lumpia, kale caesar salad, garlic chicken, crispy pork belly, pork adobo, pork adobo fried rice, pata, and garlic kauai shrimp. Out of all this food, what I really liked were the pork adobo fried rice and the garlic chicken. What I thought was good were the pata, crispy pork belly, and pork adobo. What I thought was okay were the lumpia, salad, and garlic shrimp. Note that they're closed Sundays and Mondays. We walked around the adjacent Napili Market while we waited but it wasn't a long wait at all. Big shoutout to Joey's Kitchen for bringing out all our food fast even for a big order at the last minute. read more

I'd like to say straight away that the food was delicious. I ordered halo halo, beef short ribs, and the adobo fried rice. Both were really good and possibly the best adobo fried rice in all islands I've had. I would 100% eat here again despite the ok rating. With that out of the way, why this is a three is because of the wait. I came in for a takeout order. One group ordered ahead of me for dine in, another group came after me for a takeout order as well, a few minutes after I ordered. The dine in group got their food quick. The group that ordered after me got their order before me. I waited about 30 minutes total. I waited 5 to 10 minutes more for my order after the group who ordered takeout after me walked out with their order. The buzzer I had never rang and the lady who took my order thought it buzzed a long time ago. The food is definitely good here but the wait was a killer especially for fried rice and braised short ribs. I would say the kitchen dropped the ball with just my order. read more

Another great find on Yelp, we love eating at local type restaurants. This was a home run! Cute, very clean restaurant in a strip mall. There was plenty of parking . We were greeted and the server made some great suggestions. The grilled fish tacos were plentiful. They were very tasty and a large portion. Definitely would order again. The pork fried rice was a hit! My hubbie said it was the best he has ever had. We plan to go back one more time while we are in Maui. We came back for the fried rice one more time before leaving. I ordered the grilled fish ( ono) sandwich. It was excellent, great flavor and very tender . If you are on the West side of Maui, this is a must eat place, twice!! read more

My boyfriend and I went at 7:30PM. It was definitely packed. They have to order your food and they will give you a table number. Also bathrooms are outside and pretty clean. We ordered the garlic chicken, fish tacos, burger. All the food came out under 10 mins. The garlic chicken is a MUST HAVE. It was so crispy and the sauce added a nice umami and sweet flavor. The fish tacos were delicious! The only thing I wish it was doubled tortilla because when I picked it up, it does fall apart at the bottom. The burger was okay, what you can expect from a burger.

My kids LOVED the kalua pork and cabbage! So much so they ordered a second helping! The garlic chicken was not as expected (fried) however it was cooked well and the sauce was a nice touch. The poke bowl was average and lacked flavor to be honest. I wish it was a tad more salty or had a kick or some option or side for a sauce. However it was fresh ahi and no fatty pieces. The environment is chill, it's small and large tables good for sharing. The lady who took our order might have been having a bad day and was not so friendly and very stern but it happens.
