    Tempura Shrimp Tacos
    Gary H.

    Very friendly staff, and a clean-looking truck. We got tempura shrimp tacos, and loved them!

    I love shrimp, so had to try some here when we came to check out the Maui Food Trucks of Kihei. I got the Spicy Thai Basil and my bf got the Lemon Pepper. Both were yummy, and I especially liked the flavor of the Spicy Thai Basil one.

    We were craving seafood and googled a location near our hotel, Maui Coast. It was only minutes away. We ordered the Ginger Teriyaki Shrimp, Cajun Shrimp and of course Popcorn Shrimp. All DELICIOUS!!!

    The taste was actually pretty good but my stomach hurt afterwards so not sure what happened. Overall, decent option for a late night craving. Wouldn't go there just for these tacos!

    Needed a snack before heading to the beach and decided on some shrimp from maui shrimp express. It seems that they have both the shrimp and also burgers from the same truck. The cashier was friendly and ordering was easy. We got the thai basil shrimp and it was delicious. I love my shrimp saucy and it was just the right amount of sauce. It had some heat to it, but not too much that it wasn't enjoyable. The shrimp was juicy and not over cooked and the flavor overall was great. Our order came out pretty fast and there's lots of seating by the food truck.

    Thai basil shrimp

    Absolutely delicious spicy Thai basil shrimp plate. The flavors were all very much there and balanced. Definitely a spicier shrimp but the taste is something I'm still dreaming about 4 days after having it. Location is super convenient; right across from Costco and a 7 min drive from the airport. Service was fast as it's a self select kiosk, with shaded picnic tables around for eating. Overall somewhere I would happily go again to try their other options!

    The truck

    Excellent! Food hit the spot! I would eat here all the time if I lived here! I would recommend this place to all my friends!

    The shrimp at Maui Shrimp Express was delicious! Buttery and garlicy and not feeling saturated with oil after eating. The shrimp was cooked excellently. Definitely one of the better things I ate in Maui.

    Despite being tucked away in the corner of a hotel, Tante's gives real local Maui vibes. The food…read morehas homecooked warmth and friendly Auntie service. We've been coming here for years and I've always enjoyed my experiences here, but last night I had a dish that compelled me to write a review. The oxtail soup which is listed as a favorite is a dish I've been eyeing for a while, but it's usually been too warm for me to crave it. But last night was the night. I'm getting over a cold and it's been raining off and on for weeks. The bowl arrived at the table with a plate underneath - smart move because it takes some work to eat oxtail soup. Armed with my fork and spoon, I went at it. The first taste floored me. It was perfectly seasoned and I could taste the fresh ginger, the broth was a beautiful brown color, there was plenty of napa cabbage and it came with a dish of a scoop of glossy steamed rice and steamed carrots, zucchini and broccoli. Our waitress offered to bring over condiments so I went for the soy sauce - sprinkled on the rice and veggies, I noticed that the veggies might have had a little sesame oil flavor on them so that made me happy. A spoonful of rice dunked into the broth with some of the tender fall of the bone oxtail meat, and a little crunch of the napa cabbage and I was in absolute heaven. I tasted my husband's pork adobo and that was equally as delicious as always. But that soup - that's what really did it for me last night and stays with me today. I walked out of Tante's with a swollen and happy belly and a fresh, tiny piece of ginger stuck between my teeth...a treat for later.

    We didn't expect to find this gem in our hotel. I had earned a $30 credit for my stay with Expedia…read moreso we decided to stop here for dinner and we were happily surprised. The food was great and so was the service. The prices were good and the portions were generous. I had shoyu chicken and my husband had ribs. Neither one of us were able to finish ours and we wanted to because it was delicious. The meat just fell off the bone. I did order a piece of cake to go. After getting back to our room I realized it was an ice cream cake so even as full as I was I tried to eat some cake before it all melted. The had the place decorated all up for Christmas. The lady that waited on us was super nice and kept our drinks filled. I love that attention.

We ordered the blackened ahi plate and the lobster and shrimp. The food took a while (about 10-15 minutes), but it was totally worth the wait. Everything was super tender and tasted really fresh. The ahi had a nice kick -- a bit spicy but in a good way. Ordering was easy, and they called my name loud and clear when it was ready. It was a nice touch that they ask if you want chopsticks or a fork. I had such a great experience that I came back in the evening and ordered a ribeye, and man, was that the best ribeye I've had in a while - the meat was super tender and filled with flavor. Their $26 ribeye tasted better than some $60+ steaks I've had at fancier restaurants and I didn't even have to dress up for it!

I counted 10 food trucks surrounding a common seating area of blue picnic tables, there are even more food trucks close by. I randomly picked Ono Teppanyaki. It looked fine and I could see they accept credit cards, not all places do. My choice was their NY Steak and it was cooked to perfection. It sat on some shredded cabbage and the container included a zucchini and onion mix and a scoop of white rice. Two tiny containers of sauce were included which was not enough, you can buy more (I didn't). We were all very pleased with our food truck fare.

We hit up Paia right before our flight back to LAX. It's not very far from the airport and I was bummed we hadn't been told to explore this area in addition to lounging out in Lahaina. There was a line formed even before the restaurant opened but things flowed pretty quickly. While waiting to order I'd pretty much convinced myself that I was going to be disappointed because the menu felt a bit basic. But boy was I wrong. The fish burgers are just absolutely exceptional. I got the snapper and my wife got the ahi. Both pieces of fish were cooked to perfection and were well sized. The bun was top notch and the coleslaw - a dish of which I am generally not a fan - was simply exceptional. At first I thought was a bit weird that they included cheese on the sandwich but that actually worked too! Go here for a no frills, reasonably priced, delicious AF meal if your travels take you into the area. Can't wait to go back on our next trip to Maui!
