    Teriyaki chicken and potato Mac salad. So yummy!

    Yum!! Very generous portions and the food is so fresh and tasty. I got the teriyaki chicken with white rice and a side of the potato Mac salad. Huge portions!! They use chicken breast for the teriyaki chicken which is so nice if you like a leaner option! Delicious!

    Chicken teriyaki plate, volcano fries, potato/Mac salad.

    Absolutely the best teriyaki we have ever had. I'm from California. We are here on vacation and wanted something to eat. We looked up this place and it looked good! The service was 10/10. The owner kept asking if we needed anything. He was very friendly and attentive. We got the volcano fries with their homemade aioli sauce 10/10. We also got their potato/Mac salad 10/10! Their chicken teriyaki bowls 10/10. Overall this place is great and would visit again!

    Cod and Chips
    Lon H.

    My family and I enjoyed another delicious lunch at Maui Teriyaki recently. We enjoy both their Teriyaki and Fish & Chips. On this most recent trip, we all opted for Fish & Chips. We placed our order and snagged a table outside to enjoy our lunch. I ordered the Cod & Jus Fries, my wife had the Calamari and Garlic Fries, our oldest son had the Seared Ahi and our youngest son ordered the Cod with Volcano Fries. Portion size is plentiful and they brought the food to us outside. All the dishes were cooked just right and delicious. The staff were friendly and honest. It was nice to sit on the bench outside and in the shade, since it was a fairly warm day.

    I visited Maui Teriyaki for dinner, eager for an authentic Hawaiian "plate lunch," and ordered the chicken teriyaki. It was served in a classic rectangular paper tray lined with checkered paper, adding a nostalgic touch. The chicken was high-quality, tender, and flavorful, but the teriyaki sauce was three times sweeter than I prefer, overpowering the dish. I also got the large coleslaw, which was delightfully fresh and crunchy--a perfect non-fried side, especially after indulging in fried foods during my vacation. I recommend this spot but suggest requesting the teriyaki sauce on the side to control the sweetness. Oh, and here's the updated menu board.

    This is a cool place to go for a tasty casual meal. The poke bowl was excellent. It was flavored expertly. It was even better than the chicken teriayki. It was good. I thought the sauce was a tad too sweet. The service was excellent. I wish there was a 4.5 stars. The prices are fair and the portions are generous. I want to try the fish and chips!

    The inside was very hot, was looking forward to having a glass of wine or champagne with my Lunch but no alcohol was Sold Here. But we decided to eat here anyway, They Bring the food To the outside patio seating. The portions were small but the food was delicious, good portions for a snack or small appetites. An bit on the expensive side $40.00 with tip and 2 waters. The great thing that is close to my heart Is that they are eco friendly The utensils are wooden not plastic!!! Way to go !! Worth the price to safe the ocean !!

    I don't know how this place has such good reviews. I got the chicken teriyaki and it is maybe a thigh's worth of meat on rice with no salad in a tiny dish and very little sauce and very unflavorful. I ordered it to go and tipped very well but wasn't offered a fork or napkins so I ended up in my hotel with neither. Napkins aren't really required since there's so little sauce.

    Maui Teriyaki and Maui Fish N Chips are out of the same location/restaurant. I usually get the fish n' chips & my other half usually goes with the teriyaki. You can find this little restaurant at the Dolphin Plaza food court area right across of Koiso. It's hard to miss really. It's a small place, but they have picnic tables set-up outside for outdoor seating and more tables and chairs inside as well. You walk in and will find their menu posted on a mounted surf board right above their order counter which goes with the semi-beachy theme. We normally get the teriyaki chicken (thigh) plate and the chicken has always been moist, tender, and very flavorful, but not overpowering. Kind of hard to dry out chicken thighs, right? & let's be real, it's one of the best parts. Haha. Their fries are also a welcomed addition to the meal and would highly recommend the furikake fries. Probably some of the best fries on the island in my opinion & we've even done a whole flight of fries when going to small get togethers. The teriyaki menu itself is pretty small; chicken thigh, chicken breast, & mochiko chicken. It's a little pricey considering the servings are also on the smaller end, but it always hits the spot when we've needed something quick and delicious. Check them out!

    Chicken breast teriyaki
    Bryson G.

    Came here after searching around yelp for something to eat tonight. From the reviews this place seemed great. Took me a minute to find the spot, it's on the backside part of the dolphin shopping center...all the way in the back. Once I found it I looked over the menu and decided to order the chicken breast teriyaki. I took a seat outside (have to enjoy outdoors seating as much as possible!) and my food came in about 5 minutes. The presentation of the food looks great, the chicken stacked up on the rice with a beautiful glaze on it. Once I dug in I was pretty happy with the flavor of it as well. Honestly it's pretty much the same as any teriyaki you'd get anywhere else. Maybe I was expecting some kind of island flavor to it, but I wasn't blown away....not saying it wasn't good, it was. Next time I will try something else and see if I can get my socks blown off.

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 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.

They sell only locally-caught fish which changes daily. For poke there are only two options: traditional and spicy. We got one of each ($22 each) and I preferred the traditional as it was saltier and had more flavor. I'm used to seeing more than just two flavors but it's fine. What I didn't like was that the rice in my bowl was hard like it had been out for a while. The other bowl was fine so I'm not sure what happened there. $46 total for two bowls seems like a higher price than normal for sushi, and the spicy one was just okay. Note that there is a 3% charge for using card.

This place has a decent amount of covered seating outside, but no seating inside. The menu is simple, and you order inside. We ordered the Cod Fish with rice, Coconut shrimp, deep fried zucchini, and a side of potato mac salad. The fish and chips were easily the best thing we ate. The fish had outstanding flavor and were battered and fried perfectly. If we only ordered the fish and chips, this place would get an easy 5 stars, no questions asked. Unfortunately, the rest of the food we ate was meh. The coconut shrimp were large and had good coconut flavor, but were overcooked and a little burnt, which altered the overall flavor. But I am guessing if it wasn't burnt, it would have great. I typically love deep fried zucchini, so I was excited to try it here. If didn't meet expectations though (sad face). The zucchini slices were cut very thin, and when deep-fried, I felt like I tasted more of the fried breading than I did the actual zucchini. My wife is a big macaroni and potato salad person, and she was not impressed. She said it had too much mayo and not enough substance.... I was pleased with the service and staff! Everyone that worked there was really nice and helpful. I also appreciate all the seating outside. I also thought it was cool they had a lot of board games for kids to use while we waited for our food. Very unique and solid addition! This place gets a solid 4 stars. If they made little tweaks to the rest of their side dishes, this place could easily be one of the better places to eat in Maui.
