I will not get a spam musubi from where else. The chicken katsu musubi is my favorite that ive had in all my time living here. The chicken and sauce just go well with the seaweed. Only complaint is there not the fastest when it comes to checking out and no matter how many people r in line there always 1 person working the register read more

Minit Stop - Chicken katsu musubi - Convenience Stores Near Me - Kihei, Hawaii

The only thing you need to get from here is the chicken cutlet plate, gravy all over. Comes with the infamous minit stop chicken, chopped up for easier consumption. Two scoops of rice and a scoop of Mac salad. Gravy all over. Oh and a drink! Very convenient and quick service! Place is in a great location to stop by for a snack or gas before the beach or on the way home. read more

This happened May 24, 2024 around 11:00 something pm We landed in the airport late so we didn't have the time to eat somewhere. We went an hour before closing and wanted to order chicken but they said that everything was out already so we tried to look for food in other stores but everything was closed so we ended up coming back here to buy cup noodles (since we realized that they sell those too). When we went back, there was a chain barricade around the aisles so my friend politely asked if they are still open (note: we went back 45-30 minutes before they close). For a few seconds she looked at us with an irritated expression before nodding. When my friends and I are paying, she's obviously not in the mood and kinda slamming our drinks and cup noodles. At this point, my friends and I are just side eyeing each other because of how rude she's acting. When we finished paying, we even said thank you but the moment we exit the store, we heard a loud bang from the door. This cashier lady slammed the door on us!! We were literally in disbelief on how rude she was when we were being nice and patient the whole time. It was our first day in Maui and we didn't expect to be treated so rudely. And side note, no we're not from the mainland. My friends and I are all from Oahu so it's so surprising how they acted without aloha. We never experienced this kind of treatment in Oahu and it's so sad that some workers act like doing their job and treating the customers with kindness is such a nuisance to them even tho that's literally their job? We would understand her treatment if any of us was being rude but we were sooo kind and understanding the whole time so idk what's she's into to be acting like that. read more

My name is Fran C. and I am a fried chicken addict! Yes I said it! And you read it correctly! Do I need an intervention? Perhaps.........but why ruin a good thing? When I travel for work, I usually leave my house before the crack of dawn...........and sooner or later I can guarantee you around 10ish or so, I'm gonna get hungry! It doesn't help It when I rush out of my house & I skip breakfast..........so this is where the trusty "Minit Stop" on Maui comes into play! For today, the Minit Stop in Kihei was my "goto" joint for a quick snack......... Whenever I pop into a Minit Stop, I always head to the back of the store to look for the ordering counter where I can pick up a little "snack pack" which consist of a musubi wrapped in nori, and a single piece of fried chicken. Yum! These Minit Stop convenience stores only can be found on Maui, & the Big Island (for now)..........sorry gang, if live on Oahu, Molokai, Lanai, or Kauai.......I'm sad to say...... you're out of luck my friend. Just your typical convenience store where they sell drinks, snacks, & other nick-nacks........and of course, if you need gas.......you can get too! What I do find unique about the Minit Stop convenience stores is they actually have a kitchen in the back where they fry up some really delicious fried chicken, as well as some great potato wedges...........kinda remind me of steak fries. Also, there is seating within the store..........as there are a few tables & chairs where you can sit and eat your meal after purchasing your food items at the counter. The fried chicken is as advertised! Stop by Minit Stop for some bok, bok, bok! read more

My spouse and I were at Kamaole Beach in Kihei for sunset and decided to grab dinner from "somewhere" as we were in the mood for fried chicken. Not many places came to mind except for Zippy's, which has a tasty product. I went online to price it, and needless to say it's outrageous what they charge for chicken. Then, good ol' Minit Stop popped in my noggin. I haven't had their chicken in years, so why not? Plus, it was sold for a reasonable price. ATMOSPHERE: This store is located in Piilani Village Center where Safeway Kihei and Maui's only Outback and Ruby Tuesday restaurants are. It's by far the most spacious Minit Stop I've been to which also sports a gas station that takes HFN (Hawaii Fueling Network) gas cards in addition to public consumer sales. The inside was clean, cool and organized. There was even a small table for dine-in patrons. MENU: Fried chicken in all parts including wingettes, potato wedges, plate lunches. FOOD: 12 Piece Fried Chicken Box - $18.99. The box automatically comes with 7 thighs and 5 drumsticks, my two favorite parts of the bird. I am not a breast man lol. The chicken were perfectly seasoned, crispy, juicy and cooked all the way to the bone. Worlds better than Zippy's, KFC and Popeye's. I forgot how delicious they were and will definitely patronize them more. Highly recommended for the fried chicken fan! SERVICE: I phoned in my order and it was ready and waiting for us by the time we got there 10 minutes later. The female worker in the kitchen was very friendly and pleasant. TIP: Definitely call in your order for the fried chicken boxes as they sometimes run out or stop making them at a certain point. The kitchen and food display cases were all empty and cleaned when I got there around 7:30pm, so she must've threw some in the fryer for me. Thanks, eh! OVERALL: IMO, the tastiest fried chicken money can buy. 5 stars! read more

Minit Stop - Drumsticks & Thighs bucket - VN - Convenience Stores Near Me - Kihei, Hawaii

Maui's best fried chicken!!! This minit stop location is the best!!! I come here almost everyday before heading to work to get my usual breakfast and coffee. The cashier Ana is the most genuine lady there! I love how she interacts with the customers and her kindness is so wonderful... One of the reasons I look forward to coming here! They have a selection of plate lunches, also a variety of finger foods too! I did notice that they now offer flying saucers!!! YAY!!! Don't need to wait for the county fair anymore hahaha... There were a couple choices for the flying saucers, tuna melt, & pepperoni pizza. On the packaging will have all the different kinds they offer, but, I'm guessing you need to get there really early to get the one that you want. So, go stop by get your flying saucers and fried chicken and say hello to Ana!!! read more

Minit Stop - Breakfast! Tuna melt flying saucer & iced coffee! - Convenience Stores Near Me - Kihei, Hawaii

Service for ordering food was terrible. Wanted to order a chicken cutlet bowl with gravy on the side. The person who was helping me and there was no line steered me ready made warm foods telling me it's there available. Looking through all bowls none was present. Again I asked for the bowl then she showed me the chicken and rice on the tray. So it's not what you want, it's what they can give you that's already made?! I walked out.... Never again I will return. read more

Minit Stop - spam musubi - Convenience Stores Near Me - Kihei, Hawaii

I have been in this store on multiple occasions because it's really the only place to get something I might have forgot at the store. Every single time I come into this store, they are very rude, ignore me until I ask for help at the chicken counter, I have to repeat myself four times to them so they can understand what I am asking them nicely for. It's very embarrassing. Tonight 5/2/20, I went in with a made mask and JOY was SO rude to me because it didn't "cover my face to her standard." Check the camera, I was covered. She had a glass between us and she was wearing a mask. So she yells "what do you Want?" Like she was irritated that I had a mask the way mine was. I couldn't believe how she said it. Shocked I said,"excuse me?" "What is it that you want ma'am! I can not help you cause your mask is not covering!" I never went as far as the second place in line. I was So embarrassed. Then, On top of being told to leave was treated with the worst disrespect like I was NOTHING. I can not understand why every time I come here I leave feeling bad other than the fact that there is NO customer service here. I'm writing this so management knows. No one else should feel bad like this when they leave a Minit stop in Maui. Aloha is much needed. read more

I was-looking at menu before getting any help the food lady walked to the side removed her mask blew here nose put mask back on never washed her hands she had gloves on poor hygiene around food then she said what would I like was no way in HELL I WAS GETTING CHICKEN HERE read more

When people hear gas station a lot of people think gas and go maybe a drink, but other than that they are trying to figure out where to eat! At Mo it stop their fried chicken is nice and crispy and honey if you want wedges it's almost like eating a whole potato!! They are not shy with their wedges. We ordered #hurricanekatsu it's a chicken katsu with an amazing spicy mayo sauce, teriyaki sauce and Furikake!! Yummy read more

I love this mini stop food culture. I wished we had it here in California. I purchased the chicken skin chips and 2 spam misubi. I did not get a chance to taste the misubi as my brother ended up eating both of them back to back instead of sharing so I am guessing it was super delicious, enough to betrayed me. read more

Good value .. nice portion and fair pricing for tourists. We went back the second day too! They even made our chef salad and egg salad sandwich for us while we waited! Local tasting tuna futomaki sushi too. read more

Love this place! Super friendly staff! Always plenty of ICE! It is only a quick stop, but really great!!

You want some delicious, crispy fried chicken and some big potato wedges? This is your place.

Minit Stop is your best stop for everything. read more

Went to Minit stop in Kihei today 5/6/2020. Seen two workers by the register as I was making my way to buy chicken. One of the workers came around to help me . So I put in my order of chicken and the worker proceeded to get my order ready. To my amazement this worker instead of using a pair of tongs she was using her gloved hand to grab the chicken??? I know for a fact that she DID NOT!!! change her gloves from the time I came in till the time she helped me. So what else did she touch before grabbing my order with her gloved hand? Why not use a pair a thongs that was less than a foot away? To top it off she was arranging the other pieces of chicken with her TAINTED gloved hands.WITH EVERYTHING GOING ON I THINK PEOPLE SHOULD KNOW BETTER. Never going there again!!!! read more

Review for fried chicken. No, this is not a joke. After perusing through Yelp reviews, I saw that a lot of fellow Yelpers had great things to say about this place....not for convenience store items but for fried chicken. Yes, you heard right. Fried chicken! Since it was late, there wasn't a lot of options but the chicken was ready to be served. I wasn't too hungry and only picked up a thigh and leg for $3. The fried chicken was quite good! Not too salty, crunchy, and packs a surprisingly good amount of flavor! What's not to love? Can't wait to come back when I'm in the mood for fried chicken! read more

This haleku`ai is all over Mauii. They are just like 7-Eleven. All quick bites and convenient shop. We pick up chicken katsu musubi and honey dew slushy drink. Everythi~g fast wikiwiki, ya?

Minit Stop - Famous Maui fried chicken. I had to have some! - Convenience Stores Near Me - Kihei, Hawaii

If you want to make the most of your cheat day, go get some boneless thigh filets from Minit Stop. You heard right. Boneless. Thigh. Filet. It really is the best fried chicken I've ever had. Potato wedges pair perfectly with this treat, and you might as well grab a beer to wash it all down. Hey, you work hard, treat yourself! read more

Was stopping for gas when I smelled some scrumptious chicken they just put out. I couldn't resist not trying some and it was amazing. I love the chicken and musibi but the potato wedges can be cooked a little more. They were the biggest potato wedges I've ever seen. I will definitely go back if I'm in the area. read more

Minit Stop is my usual go to for gas and a quick bite, but I've noticed that this location has been lacking in the cleanliness and service departments. There is no consistency in the quality of the food but I still returned. Today was the last straw...I wanted to get a coffee and noticed that the remaining 3 cups were dirty, so I asked for a clean one. The lady I asked, turned to someone I'm guessing was the manager and asked. The second lady said no more and then they started speaking another language. Finally the first woman turns around and tells me they're out and to just use the dirty cups. Then she tries to hand one back to me. When I say no, the second lady tries to tell me that's how the cups are!! I understand that my patronage may not make a huge difference, but is this really how you run your business?!? read more

OK - you would never think to stop at a place that sounds like the Hawaiian version of a 7-11. But I give you one word - fried chicken. YES - good stuff. Crisp on the outside, moist on the inside...no spices...just good fried chicken!!! It's quick and inexpensive. You can also get plate lunches - which I did not try because I kept going back for more chicken. So if you're ever in Hawaii - look for the Minit Stops if you're craving chicken. I only gave 3 stars cuz I didn't check out the rest of the menu other than the spam musubis...which I liked, but I liked the ones at Foodland better! read more

I love Maui fried chicken. Every time I land in Maui, I stop by and get this for lunch. Breaded potato wedges!!!! Can't get them anywhere else. read more

I honestly don't yelp much, but felt compelled to write this review. Today my family and I stopped at this mini mart to get some snacks and a phone charger as we had a full day of exploring the Island while on vacation. We purchased a Charger and it didn't work. I immediately went back in, and they replaced it. The next phone charger we used worked for an hour or two then also stopped working. On our way back to our hotel, we stopped back in and I asked if I could return it or exchange it again. I wasn't upset at all, just expressed that it was our second one and asked if they would return it. The woman at the front was extremely rude and gave me a terrible time and told me I couldn't return or exchange it without a receipt. She sighed at me several times and kept sending me to other workers. Finally, she said she would replace it but was extremely rude the entire time. Let me say this- my love for this island is immeasurable. It's beauty and people are unlike anywhere I have ever been before and if I could love here, I would. In all my travels here I have never come across an individual so rude, mean, and inconsiderate. It doesn't change my love for Maui, but I will never support this business again! I understand we all have bad days, but there is no need to be mean to a woman and her children for a defective item(s) carried by your store. read more
