Stopped in for lunch on a Sunday after doing the road to Hana early morning. We were looking for a…read morelunch spot and not just a brunch place, plus a lot of regular places weren't open on Sunday. There were only two other parties in the restaurant with us, so we sat at the bar and ordered from the bartender. They were out of a few things, but we saw that trend with other restaurants on the island so it wasn't that big of a deal. We each got a beer. I got the taco platter and he got a Peruvian chicken and rice dish. Everything was absolutely delicious, the bartender was very sweet and eventually made me an incredibly good Pisco sour. I love the decor and the layout of the place and I'm sure it's super fun at night. Overall, a great experience!

I have been wanting to try this place out for a while. Pretty much since they opened. This is the…read morefirst opportunity that I have had to actually try them. We were not sure if they were open because we tried calling several times but the phone was busy. So we looked up the hours online and it said they were open so we decided to give it a shot. When we arrived we were the only ones there so we had the pick of tables. We were greeted by a gentleman that told us to take our pick. The bartender was our waitress. She brought us menus but we kinda knew what we wanted to try. So we browsed the menu very quickly and decided. We started with the ceviche classic which was very good it had a citrus juice, roasted corn like corn nuts but better I believe it was fresh mahi mahi, Molokai sweet potato. I definitely would have liked another piece of the sweet potato with it but this dish was still delicious. We then ordered the taco board with the carne asada, guacamole, green salsa and chips. This was also prepare really well and had some good flavors. We also ordered the lomo saltado. This was good it was just a touch salty but still very good. The interior is done well. I have seen more than a few businesses in this location over the years as I have been to this location since I was a kid. I do like what they have done with it. The only complaint was when we asked for a takeout container the waitress brought us a container that was dirty which was a little unappealing after having dinner there. Other wise we had a nice time.

It now has a little sports bar-type area, near the fireplace and a lounge area with sofas in the back room. It is all hard surfaces, wood walls and concrete floors, so it does get noisy (so that's the reason for the one deduction). Too bad we waited so long. Absolutely terrific dinner.

I am the biggest fan of fried chicken sandwiches!!!! This was one of the best fried chicken…read moresandwiches I have ever had. Just look at the photos this chicken and the bun was huge. It was the size of a small infant head! Let's just start off by saying this was the last day on our trip in Maui and I just wanted something quick and easy and on the cheaper side cause everything has been so expensive. So I looked up the food court and saw that this place had numerous different types of dishes and restaurants within the shopping mall. There's nothing really fancy about this food hall, it pretty much looks like a cafeteria. We come from San Francisco so we're used to food halls being fancy five star blah blah blah. This is definitely a bang for your buck kind of place. I could see that a lot of locals come to this place for lunch as well. Walking up to the chicken restaurant I walked up to a kiosk and ordered my food through there. It was about 15 minutes. I wanted to say until I got my food and when I saw it, my eyes grew so big! The chicken was so moist, and there was so much flavor that it was like bing bang in my mouth. I got mine very spicy so definitely if you're looking for spice to order it spicy. All I can say if you want a quick lunch that is delicious and appropriately priced come check this place out and have yourself a chicken sandwich!

It must be my lucky day, because normally when I scroll through Google looking for something to…read moreeat. It's usually hard for me to pick something out of a line up of restaurants I've already tried before. So this time was easy. A name I didn't recognize appeared on my screen. Plus since I always want to try something new. Let's see what Hangry Joe's Hot Chicken has to offer this not so hangry yet, girl. So far so good, their stock photos look appetizing. I already picked out a list of items I'd like to try like the: Chicken Sando, Chicken Fingers, Chicken Wrap, Loaded Fries, Salad w/ Chicken Breast as well as the Loaded Mac & Cheese. As for my first visit I chose to try the Loaded Fries with Medium heat & my fiancé chose the Chicken Bites in Mild. Just to be on the safe side when trying out new restaurants as to what they consider to be spicy. I'll usually start in the middle & work my way up on spice. Mild or medium didn't have that kick I was looking for so I'll try hot on my next visit. Just not sure which item will win my pick just yet. However I am a fan of their logo & overall atmosphere. It's a fun restaurant to order at. They have 3 self serve kiosks to order from. The two on the outside are for ordering Hangry Joe's Hot Chicken & the one in the middle is for ordering off of the dessert menu. Which being that I'm usually not one to order soda. I was extremely excited to have an option to order a Thai Tea Boba from here too. So there's still plenty from their treat menu that I'm eager to try as well. My only suggestion I can think of is maybe having different size options to choose from. Cause my loaded fries came in a massive box. It was enough to feed me for 3 meals, breakfast, lunch & dinner.

Overall my first experience was a good one & I'll work on getting my spicy lovers to sample Angry Hot. Until next time. XOXO, ChelsieFletcher

We live on the other side of the island and while we have an excellent Japanese restaurant (Takumi…read more- try the omakase) we decided to drive over to experience Nuka as it has so many fantastic reviews, and we really appreciate and enjoy Japanese cuisine. Nuka was exceptional. Authentically Japanese, the restaurant is beautifully yet serenely decorated, the staff are welcoming and well versed in the menu and flavors, and pricing is competitive for island restaurants. In fact when you know the healthy ingredients are the best available, locally grown/caught/raised and cooked to perfection it takes it up a notch. We arrived just as they opened for lunch at 11.30am and luckily managed to be seated straight away. I've read that dinner is much harder to get a table and there is a long wait so arrive accordingly ;) Parking is available in the car park next door beside the gym, free and self parking. So, what did we order?......... Grapefruit lychee spritzer - we chose the mocktail version but you can make it a cocktail too. Sooo citrusy and thirst quenching. Not sweet, zingy. Very refreshing on a hot Maui day Miso - earthy, salty, brothy, umami, steaming hot in a bowl to start off your extravaganza of a meal Shio koji cabbage - finely shredded with sesame and house milled bran and seasoning, like an elegant Japanese coleslaw, I loved it! Nasu Miso eggplant - slightly sweet because of the miso, I liked the taste but it wasn't a texture I'm used to eating, which I found a lot in Japan, eg mochi. But I can't fault the dish because of that, the miso umami was richly broiled and it was a popular dish House Nuka pickles - crunchy, fresh and sprinkled with sesame (daikon radish, carrot and cucumber), a good palate cleanser and a nice texture to complement the eggplant above. Not vinegary, just fresh Saba Nigiri - two pieces of moreish mackerel sushi, melt in the mouth with so much flavor, decent sized nigiri too Shiso Country sushi roll - on the specials list, and it was amazingly special! Ahi, habanero masago, orange masago, shaved shiso leaf, ponzu, so many flavours and textures combined into a party in the mouth, with a slight heat build as you ate it. A favourite Miso Butterfish - OMG it looked so amazing and was another popular dish, for a good reason, it is delicious. Melt in the mouth, flaky, savory cod, a nice sized serving, and the miso sauce is sooo good with the buttery fish Lilikoi ice cream - hubby only had room for one generous creamy scoop served with chocolate wafers and decorated with fresh mint. Perfect end to a delightful meal We both felt that this is definitely one of the best restaurants on island, culturally and gastronomically, pricewise and food presentation, authenticity and awareness of local produce....it all adds up to an outstanding dining experience. We will most definitely be returning even though we have to drive an hour and half to get there! "Gochisousama deshita"

But we were there to eat and not necessarily have Pau Hana time, I will say though some of those draft on tap sound excellent! Ended up ordering: -Ale Battered Onion Rings ($15.75) -Turkey Club ($22.50) -Beef & Pork Burger ($22.99) -Wedge Salad ($16.75) Those Ale Battered Onion Rings hit the app spot! Beer-battered in house and come with chipotle mayo dipping sauce, fried & light, not overly greasy, good with them using sweet Maui onions! Brother wasn't too hungry, so he ended up getting a Wedge Salad (LOL) but with extra bacon. Looked good too! Mom & wifey shared the Turkey Club - that was a BIG @$$ sandwich! Roast turkey breast with Applewood smoked bacon, mayo, lettuce and tomato between 3 slices of thick rye bread! Buggah was stacked! They both liked it, lean turkey with the fatty bacon, and the texture contrast of the fresh veggies made it tasty! My Beef & Pork Burger was a test to my cholesterol levels LOL! Near 1/2 pound burger made with ground chuck, cooked medium rare and topped with a pile of house roasted Kalua pork, lettuce, tomato, onion, crispy fried onions and BBQ sauce...was indeed a tower of a burger! Was pretty damn ono too! Burger got good char from the grill, and the kalua pork was flavorful and not dry at all. This burger didn't need a slice of cheese at all! Delicious! Maybe on our next time to Ale House we'll actually get some beers! Their daily Happy Hour specials sure are tempting!

Aloha Pho Maui is an unassuming little food truck tucked away at Da Tambayan Corner in Kahului--and…read morehonestly, it's one of those hidden gems you'll be glad you found. The menu is surprisingly generous, with a solid lineup of noodles, rice plates, soups, and appetizers. I've stopped by a handful of times now, and everything I've tried--from the Vietnamese crepe to the shrimp rolls--have been pretty tasty for the most part. The banh mi is perfectly balanced with crispy bread, flavorful meat, and just the right blend of fresh herbs. The banh xeo (Vietnamese crepe) is a standout -- crispy, savory, packed with flavor, and comes in a pretty generous serving. Their fried rolls are fresh and satisfying, but my favorite of the two would have to be the shrimp rolls. These golden little bites are crispy and just absolutely addictive! The flat noodles with shrimp were also pretty tasty with a generous serving size. You can taste the care and authenticity in every bite. It's clear the folks behind Aloha Pho Maui care about sharing the flavors of Vietnam with our island. If you're in the area or hankering for some Vietnamese food, definitely swing by. It's worth the stop! Ample covered seating is also available and is shared with other food trucks in the lot.
