    IMHO Discovered Kalei's franchise on our last visit and was very impressed. This trip, we dined at Kalei's three times because their food, service, portion and price were consistently good. On our first visit this trip, we ordered the Crispy Pork Belly Plate, $19, and the Cheap Eats special of Mochiko Chicken, hot dog, rice and corn, $7. Did I mention their all-day Happy Hour special on Miller Lite, Coors Light, and Heineken is $3.50?!! On our second visit, I decided on the 'Hangover" which consisted of a cheeseburger & fries plus a bowl of saimin, for only $16. Hubby ordered the "Four meat special", mochiko chicken, beef, hot dog and Pork (?) with rice and corn for $12 (?), I think. Our last visit, we enjoyed a Breaded Ono burger, $11, a Cheeseburger, $13, and a side of crinkle fries, $5, and a dessert order of Chantilly croissants (which they are known for), $7.50. If you're trying to save money on your Maui meals, get thee to Kalei's for great local food, great portions, great service, and great prices! You will return again, and again!!!

    Kids cheese burger

    Our first time trying Kaleis. You have to order first and seat yourself anywhere. The food was really tasty, fulfilling and satisfying. My bf ordered big kahuna he said it was delicious. I ordered da bento it was a really big portion very crunchy for the mochi chickens, shrimp. Overall was yummy with different kinds of meats. My son ordered cheese burger with fries off the kids meal, just have to add your preference of condiments from the table. The diner was nice and clean. Staff was friendly. Service of the food wait during dinner was 10mins, pretty fast! Overall we will be coming back again when we're in Lahaina

    Breakfast!

    When you're on the West side be sure to check out Kalei's Restaurant. So simple.. Upon arriving check out the menu, order your food and pay at the cashier, they will bring your food to you. Many local food to choose from, we had the breakfast before heading out to Kula! Came back at the end of the day for take out to grind at the hotel. Beautiful relaxing restaurant, also don't forget to pick up some merch bags & stationary gifts sold near the front. Mahalo Kalei's!

    I am 99.8% sure this is chicken katsu but there is a very slight margin of error in my memory.

    We usually eat at Kalei's Lunchbox in Wailuku as our first stop in Maui. We love the food, the staff and the people, in that order. We were excited to learn they were opening a location in Lahaina, in the Cannery (next to Safeway), and decided to try it for dinner last month (March 2026). It's very spacious and clean, and everything is new and shiny (they opened this location fairly recently). You order at the front desk, they give you a number and then they'll bring your food out when it's ready. The menu is on one of those electronic boards above the desk. They may have had hard copy menus, but one wasn't offered to me. I'm embarrassed to say I can't remember what I got, but I *think* it was the chicken katsu. They let me sub a green salad for the mac salad which made my gut very happy since green isn't a prominent color in our vacation fare. My husband got the mochiko chicken. His mochiko chicken portion was very generous, enough for him to have leftovers the next day. They were a bit more stingy with the katsu. Both dishes were prepared well. The restaurant itself was freezing. If I had to guess, I'd say the A/C was set at 67 or lower. The practically subzero temps made it hard to enjoy my meal; I was hell bent on getting out as quickly as possible in hopes of thawing out though the weather during our visit was less than ideal. I'm happy there is another restaurant in Lahaina and happier that it is affordable and serves good food. I just happen to like the location in the Maui Lani shopping center better than this one.

    Waiting for kale chicken chopped salad and ahi burger with fries
    Jill S.

    Stopped in for quick lunch.Fast and pleasant service with fair pricing too. No beers though,husband was bummed. I ordered the kale chopped salad and added chicken,husband got the ahi sandwich and we shared fries. Realized they gave me the Chinese chicken salad but in a rush to change it out so ate it anyway.It had a strange tasting dressing but to be fair I don't care for Chinese salads. My husband thought his sandwich was alright.The fries were good

    Kona pie with coffee ice cream
    Sheri P.

    My only question is...... Why didn't we find this delicious Hawaiian comfort food earlier!! It was soooo close to our resort! Party of 8 dined on the LAST day of our week Long trip!! So pretty inside, clean, with an attentive friendly staff. Order at the counter and find a table!! Everything so ONO from the Garlic Shrimp, Kalbi ribs, Big Kahuna plate to the Kona pie with Coffee ice cream!! (A MUST!)

    Teriyaki beef breaded, mochiko chicken, fries
    Sandra K.

    We've been to the Wailuku location a couple of times and decided to try this location since it was convenient. This restaurant was pretty spacious with a lot of seating. Though this restaurant seems new, the style was a bit dated. Kind of like a 80's Denny's style booth and chairs. You order at the counter, seat yourself and they bring you the food. We ordered: Teriyaki beef (breaded): the portion was huge! The flavor was the same but a little more chewy than the other location (which we went 2 days previous). Mochiko chicken: this was okay but not anything very exciting. Generous portions.

    brussel sprouts
    Kathryn W.

    I ordered takeout here, and it was ready within 15 minutes! The brussel sprouts with the hurricane sauce were a standout. The combo plate was also delicious, my favorite was the slice of spam and the mac salad. I would get a side sauce for the mixed place next time since I like a lot of flavor. Really great spot!

    Modern bright spacious dinner style food with generous portions. Ordered at the entrance counter and the food was served to our table with warm Aloha smiles. The server checked in with us through our meal to see if we needed anything else. We ordered: Seared Ahi Sandwich Island Roast Pork w Rice & Mac Spam Musubi Crinkle Fries Chop Salad w Seared Ahi All the dishes were simple but were generously portioned and super fresh. The ahi was perfectly seared and the crinkle fries were addictively crispy! Prices were very reasonable. Win-win!

    Fried mandoo

    Good stop for some local style food. Better than fast food. It is a good stop driving back to our place in Kaanapali. Lots of seating, so good for larger groups.

    We stopped in here on our last day in Maui. The staff was so friendly and really took time to let us know about their favorite dishes. One thing that annoys me is when people give reviews and try to compare a restaurant to another spot that is in a different class. Set realistic expectations as you get food from a restaurant in a mall where you'll spend less than $80-$100. I can say that we went there with proper expectations and Kaleis surpassed what we expected. Why not 5 stars people? They deserve it, maybe that's why the locals don't really care for tourists, be more kind in your reviews! Look at those pictures, where else will you get food that not only looks great, but tastes great, and with terrific service? Being expensive doesn't make it good! One of my favorite things about Kaleis is that when you're done there are plenty of shops to go browse around in, and all inside of an air conditioned mall. Enjoy yourself, and be nice to the staff, they work hard to make your day a little better.

    Spam fried rice with eggs
    Marissa M.

    Decent spot that reminds me of a diner. Got the corned beef, Eggs over med, rice and potatoes. Soy sauce was good on the eggs and mixed with rice. Corned beef was good- canned. Potatoes were ok. My husband likes diners and liked what he got. The service and staff were super nice but there was a tiny 1 inch black hair on the plate that I found after eating most of the food that left me disappointed and was the lasting impression I'm left with. Besides the hair, the food is about 1.5-2 stars but the service and cleanliness make it a 3. I'm on vacation and want the places in Lahaina to do well.

    Carbonara

    We love this new restaurant! So much variety, excellent flavor and service. We all tried different things and can't wait to go back! Easy parking! Have the mochicho chicken! It's sooo good My friend loved the carbonara

    Wow!! Our server was so friendly and accommodating, and the food was wonderful. I keep saying I'll…read morestart writing down what I order, but obviously I never remember when it matters. I started off with a drink IN A CERAMIC PIG. Like, what could be better?? Hubs and I shared a fantastic nacho plate for our lunch, then asked about a dessert menu. Our server said there was only one option, but it was great. She did not exaggerate. It was a sweet Hawaiian bread, fried, with some more sweetness (glaze?) and nuts. So. Good. As we finished, we asked what it was called again, and it remains nameless. It's just there, she said. So go to Coco Deck and get dessert.

    The blonde waitress was the rudest person ive experience in a long time. Never going to this place…read moreagain. Made a reservation for 6. Hostess took us to a table that seats 4. I told her we need more chairs so she said it would be a bit longer which was fine. Ordered two mahi mahi entrees and a kids burger. Food was ok. Kids burger was dry with no sauce provided other than hot sauce. The fish was ok. I was helping feed my son and the waitress comes by and tries to take my plate away. I told her I was still working on it and she put it down and walked away. We asked to order ice cream. Waited about 20-30 mins and she never came back to bring the dessert. Finally we asked her again and she brought it out. We asked for the bill when the ice cream finally came out and again we waited probably another 10 mins before she brought the check. When we were ready to pay, she scanned our card and waited while we selected tip. We said we would pay tip in cash. This rude waitress stood by us waiting for us to hand her the cash tip. WHO DOES THAT!!! This lady was so rude and I would highly recommend finding another place to eat because there are so many better options. Whoever runs this place should really invest in customer service training for their employees...

The steak temp was cooked as we requested. The katsu chicken had a nice crunch but was not dry. The Mac salad was very good as well. We love to stop, pickup and take it to our lanai.

    It was our second trip back to Ka'anapali, Maui, and this was our second time back to this…read moreestablishment. THAT alone tells you something! I remembered that we ordered the Loco Moco on our last trip, and it was memorable enough for us to return. This time around, we ordered the blackened seared ahi plate, the panko fried mahi mahi sando and spaghetti and meatballs for the kiddo. Admittedly, I was a little disappointed with our food this time. Both of fishes entrees were only okay... somewhat on the dry side unfortunately. Even the kiddo, who can be pretty picky, but LOVES spaghetti... he was even discerning enough to say his entree was a "3 outta 5, mommy." I'm sure their other items are pretty good, and maybe they were having an off day, or we just didn't order their best stuff. Whatever the case was, it was a little disappointing. We typically love joints like this... little hole in the wall type places. Service was stellar though-super friendly staff, especially since we were "local tourists." Please keep in mind: this is a cash establishment!
