    Slow Roasted Pork
    Chieko K.

    Let's start with the fact that the owner is actually Hawaiian and a lot of his relatives are from Maui super sweet manager and ordering was easy. The only thing that made it hard was that there were SO many things I wanted to try on the menu. I ended up getting the slow roasted pork plate, you know I had to try it. This was more like slow roasted pork belly--not what I was expecting but it was DELICIOUS and so tender and soft. It came with rice and two sides. Mac salad left a little creaminess to be desired but not bad. The picked veggies were A1. I need to come back to try more things on their menu! Parking: paid street or garage Seating: indoor tables Wifi: no Payment: cashless preferred, takes tap to pay Vibe: casual food hall Dress code: casual

    Fried Shrimp
    Wendy H.

    I love stopping by Finn Hall during my lunch hour to grab a bite to eat. This time around I tried Maui Bento and I was definitely pleased. Finn Hall around lunch time is super busy, so i fits possible I would recommend placing an order ahead of time. The space is lively and always full so sometimes it's hard to find a place to sit and eat. Now for the food, I ordered Fried Shrimp with white rice, macaroni salad, and picked cucumbers. The shrimp was perfection! The sweet chili sauce was tangy with a little kick. The macaroni salad was great and the cucumbers were a refreshing addition. I think I found my new favorite spot in Finn Hall!

    The food was alright. Nothing to write home and brag about. The flavor was there however it was super bland. I ordered loco moco plate and it only came within one patty. Very disappointing compared to other Hawaiian restaurants I've visited that gives two patties. The rice lacked any salt. I also ordered sweet chili wings and it was just sweet no chili or salt or anything. Just sweet baby chicken wings. The food came out quick. Service was quick.

    Tuna poke

    Maui bento is located inside Finn Hall off of Main Street in downtown Houston. I've ordered a few things here over the last couple months. Here are my thoughts in case anyone cares: Hawaiian beef teriyaki: This one is pretty good and probably my favorite here. I know it's a bit of a basic order but it's good and I feel like most people would like it. Try it if you don't know where to start. Tuna poke: To be totally honest I was not very impressed with this one. The tuna was very "fishy" and yes I understand that tuna is a fish and this is a poke dish; However, it had a very distinct fishiness to it that you don't get at other poke places. For my next trip I'm eyeing the lomi lomi salmon. Stay tuned for the update! As for staff and service, the line is generally pretty short and staff are really pleasant. Our food has always come out so quickly.

    Baked tuna sushi was delicious, but very expensive. Service was quick and helpful in the fast paced Finn Hall.

    Came at around 2pm on a Sunday and it wasn't very busy at all, but it should've been. The food here…read moreis fantastic!! It took about 15 mins to come out. Everything we had was flavorful, delicious, and all the meat was moist! I can't wait to come back and I'm sad it took me so long to find this place! Highly recommend!! Service was helpful and friendly. The restaurant felt very clean, spacious, and modern with a lot of natural light. They brought our food out to our table and gave us napkins and utensils, so we didn't have to get up and get them ourselves. Absolutely a great dining experience! The portions are also big! My bf and I each got a Hawaiian Favorite combo and couldn't finish them. The entrees are easily two servings for me, so it's a great value! The containers the food comes in are microwavable too, so extra bonus points for easy reheating! If you do manage to finish an entree in one sitting though, you will be stuffed! It wasn't mentioned on the menu, but there's steamed/sautéed cabbage under the meat. It looked a little deceiving because I thought it was just a huge pile of meat, only to find cabbage under. Thankfully, I love cabbage and appreciated that there were veggies to balance the heaviness of all the meat. That being said, there was still a lot of meat, just not as much as it looked like at first. They also give you little containers of sauce depending on which entree you get, which really enhanced the meal. If you get bbq beef or chicken, you get a delicious, sweet, Hawaiian bbq sauce. If you get the chicken katsu, you get a sauce that resembles sweet and sour. If you get a combo that has both bbq meat and chicken katsu, you get both sauces. I poured the sauce over the rice to season the plain white rice, then poured the rest on the meat even though it didn't really need it. BBQ CHICKEN: Moist, flavorful, and delicious!! Comes in small to large chunks. BBQ BEEF: Moist, flavorful, and delicious!! Comes in thin slices. CHICKEN KATSU: Moist! Fresh, crunchy breading! Tastes better with the sweet and sour-like sauce provided than on its own. KALBI SHORT RIBS: Delicious! Moist! Has fatty bits, unlike the bbq beef, which I really liked! Very similar, if not the same, flavor as the bbq beef. MACARONI SALAD: Delicious and flavorful! Tastes just like potato salad.

    I was in the area, saw a Hawaiian spot, red the reviews and decided to give it a try. I ordered the…read moreKatsu and mixed bbq plate. I was pleased with the Katsu plate and the katsu sauce was good. The bbq mixed plate was a miss. I haven't seen a short rib so thin in my life. The Teri sauce definitely helped. As for the macaroni salad, it did nothing for me...at least the food is priced decently. The service also a big F . I felt NO Aloha.

The food here is WAY overpriced. A BBQ mix from L&L in California, a more expensive state, is only $16. Here, it's $20. For basically half the portion size and quality. Food was ... not great. My katsu was cold and tasted like it wasn't fresh. Was given a small handful of BBQ chicken that looked like leftovers. And I couldn't even get a full scoop of rice! Place didn't have sriracha, which is basically a staple for Hawaiian BBQ. They only had Tabasco, which I can't imagine tasting good on this type of food at all. Definitely disappointed and will not be back.

My BMP calamansi margarita was distinct in its tanginess. Tried the veggie lumpias and brussel sprouts. The lumpias had tangy dipping sauce that might have been dominated by calamansi. More tang than savory. The brussel sprouts were standard but had a good portion. I tried to detect whether they used fish sauce but I couldn't tell. Ordered the daing na bangus (milkfish) as my entree. They gave me the whole fish and it threw me off that it was mostly deboned since I kept looking for the bones with my tongue and teeth. Fish was nice and crispy and the dipping sauce was more savory than what came with the lumpias. The garlic rice that came with the dish was smoky from that wok hay. Probably could have used a little more soy sauce for flavouring. My favourite dish was the turon dessert (fried bananas) along with the ube ice cream. The coconut sauce they used seemed more like caramel. I haven't eaten much Filipino food so I wasn't sure how authentic the dishes were. I was expecting a little more intensity in the flavours, and I don't know if it was toned down for their customers. There were around ten customers that night. The inside was beautiful and they have a two level patio that is perfect for nights like these. The service was very nice and the kitchen was faster than I expected.

I'm a Tiki Geek so any chance I have to hit a new (for me) tiki bar and down a delicious tropical cocktail, I jump on it.

Signage outside isn't obvious but once you step inside, you're transported to a little slice of paradise. Service was fantastic...the bartender (Jonathan) was very helpful guiding me towards what to try and gave me some Lei Low swag, too.

Everything was really good and the price seemed a bit high but totally justified! I enjoyed how they put in the effort to do a bit of a refined twist on normal dishes. The inside looks like a slightly tiki-themed restaurant and I was a little let down by the lack of the typical tiki themed booths, decorations and bamboo/wood trim. The outside however had great ambiance, and the server was very accommodating with us moving to the sandy beach chairs. The service was great, the food came out fast and overall it was a great experience!

The brisket on the other hand was a little dry and I wish it had more flavor, but the sauce made up for it. We also got the Mac n cheese with brisket on top. They really did not skimp out on the brisket. It was very delicious and the Mac n cheese was perfectly creamy and decadent. They also pickles, pickled jalapeño, and onions on the side which really cut the fat from the meat. The coleslaw that we got was okay though. Overall, it was a great experience.
