This might be one of the more underrated food experiences on Maui…read more The restaurant name sounds like some kind of generic salad, vegetarian experience, but don't let their lack of marketing expertise run you away. They have sandwiches that are top notch. The papaya chicken, Ahi tuna, and steak sandwiches are pretty ridiculous in flavor. Each sandwich has different layers of flavor and is a gourmet experience. The price is on par with the cheaper franchises like Subway or Jersey Mike's. While walking away, it feels like a much more healthy and pleasant experience. I've been trying every one of their sandwiches each time I go and they are all pretty great. Fast service, cheap prices (for Maui), and concoctions make this a place I visit regularly.

Patio table was in the shade, line moved fast, excellent service, and quick delivery of our food. I got the Bodacious Bagel & Lox. Outstanding! When I ordered the cashier did tell me that the egg on the menu was a mis-print. Glad she let me know up front, but wondering why it's still described that way on the website. I also ordered a mimosa with cranberry juice. I was told to give the bartender a couple minutes to make it and then where to pick it up. Stood there for a few minutes with no bartender insight but a glass of sparkling wine on the bar. When she finally arrived she said there was no juice type listed on the receipt. The bagel and arugula salad that came with it were amazing! Hubby got scrambled eggs and their furiaki potatoes. Great seasoning, he thought they were a little heavy on the garlic. Very friendly staff and for an open-air restaurant seemed clean, even with the chickens coming and going. We also didn't like that we were expected to add a tip when ordering. Maybe a Hawaii thing, but I tip on service, so being expected to tip when placing an order automatically makes me tip lower since I don't know what to expect. But left cash after. Don't know who picked it up or if it was pooled.

(We went to the food truck location in Oahu but it wasn't the same not the same exact menu). We ordered the same items. Pbj bbq pulled pork sandwich and the fish tacos. Would have given them 5 stars prior. However, maybe due to shrinkflation, the size of the sandwich seemed to shrink significant and the prices seemed to have gone up correspondingly. It Could have also been that the expectation of a 5 star raised the bar such that we were a little disappointed with the smaller portion size and the increased fees. We also thought the peanut butter was a little overpowering in the sandwich this time. Otherwise, Taste was good on both. They are both more comfort foods than healthy foods so not something I would eat everyday. Owner/ chef very friendly. Would come again. Maybe we would try something else next time.

My family came in on a Sunday afternoon and the dining area was packed, which is obviously a good sign that the food here is delicious. The workers have great energy and are sincere.

Everything was tasty and had its own unique flavor profile. Wish they would expand to Oahu, so I could eat this back home. Highly recommend!

They surprised us with complimentary champagne for our anniversary, which was such a thoughtful touch. Every part of the service was excellent -- from the host to our server to the food runners. Everyone was attentive, friendly, and very on top of making sure we had everything we needed. Plates were cleared promptly, our table was kept tidy, and we never had to ask for anything twice. The drinks were also excellent. My husband had an Old Fashioned, and I had a dirty gin martini, and both were superb. The food recommendations were great, and everything we ordered was delicious. We started with the Caesar salad and shrimp cocktail. My husband had the surf and turf, and I had the macadamia nut-crusted fish. We finished with cheesecake and crème brûlée for dessert, and both were amazing. The location is beautiful as well. It's an incredible spot to watch the sunset with a gorgeous ocean view right next to the golf course, which made our anniversary dinner feel even more special. Between the food, cocktails, service, views, and thoughtful anniversary touches, we had such a memorable evening. We will definitely be coming back the next time we're in Maui.

Food The Caesar Salad had good flavor, though the dressing was a bit heavy. The croutons were excellent. The Fish Tacos Pupu were a standout happy hour deal. The fish was fresh and fried to a crispy golden brown. The Pork Sliders on the happy hour menu were also very tasty. Overall, it's a great spot to take advantage of a solid happy hour.

There was a lot of mahi on the menu! Their liquor selection was more limited than I'd think - so I skipped a cocktail. I got the Mac crusted mahi - sadly it was flavorless and the sauce was cold.

Paia Fish Market is a casual seafood restaurant with locations across Oahu and Maui. This location…read morein Kihei opened in 2015, but the original location opened in Paia in 1989. Their main selling point is the fresh fish and the different ways they're prepared. You can choose between different fish options from ahi to mahi mahi to snapper. You can also choose the cooking preparation such as charbroiled, sautéed, cajun, or blackened. Then you can choose your sides. They give you a number and you find a table to sit. We got the ahi sautéed with cajun rice ($28), the mahi mahi blackened with french fries ($27), and the clam chowder ($7). I liked the sautéed flavors with the butter and garlic. I loved the flavor of the blackened char flavor, and we loved that the fries were thin. The clam chowder was standard. One of the surprising stars of our meal was their house magic sauce. It was one of the condiments table-side and we found that it was so good with everything. We drenched it in the fish and even dipped it in the fries. I thought the flavor of the blackened mahi mahi was better, but the magic sauce went better with the sautéed ahi.

I stopped by here yesterday for lunch. Sun's Out Buns Out is located in a food truck pod, so I did…read morenot realize exactly where I was going until I saw all of the trucks. The truck itself is fun, painted with bright tropical colors and scenes, and they seem to be known for their loaded tots and bao buns. I placed my order on the touchscreen outside and then sat down to wait for my food. For lunch on this day I went with the buffalo chicken tots and the Island Piggy bao. The menu described the bao as kalua pork, BBQ sauce, tropical salsa, and pickled red onions. The buffalo chicken tots were described as buttermilk fried chicken, buffalo sauce, jack cheddar cheese, house made pickles, and ranch dressing. It took less than 10 minutes for my food to be ready and I sat down at one of the shaded picnic tables. When I opened everything up it all looked good, but I did notice that the tots were missing the house made pickles. I started with the bao and thought it was pretty good. The kalua pork was super juicy and the bao bun was light and fluffy while still holding together well. The pickled onions added a nice acidity and the tropical salsa brought good flavor. The only thing I did not notice much was the BBQ sauce. After that I dug into the tots. The tots themselves were cooked nicely with a crispy outside and soft inside. The chicken was good as well with a nice batter and the buffalo sauce added flavor while the cheese was gooey. The only thing worth noting is that the chicken was softer than expected and not very crispy. It worked since I did have the texture from the crispy tots, but it stood out. The bottom line for me is that I would head back here again in the future. I would probably not order both a bao and tots again as it was a lot of food, but I would definitely come back for one or the other.
