There is no seating inside. We got the habachi and the fresh ahi shoyu. Even though there weren't many options left because we came at the end of the day, the poke still tasted fresh. It was enjoyable and I liked how the rice came with the furikake seasoning. Definitely would go again.

We bought some drinks, poke and even some chilled garlic shrimp. I would say the poke had a slimy texture and we couldn't eat it after a bite but the garlic shrimp was actually not bad. Prices in Hawaii are pricy sincetheg are on an island. So I'm sure people have to shop around. The cashier was fast since there wasn't anyone in here. Plenty of parking as well they have a parking lot.

I thought that the pansit was really good though. Lauya had a bitterness flavor due to the greens they used that was not to my liking but I know that some people do, but it was done well with the meat very soft and bones with marrow still there. Best part it's across the street from my office. :) highly recommend

Luckily I had an extra set of eyes helping me look lol. I've been following this store on Facebook and what got my need to come here was the fact that they are now selling ube butter mochi!!! Yay!!! The store rep was very pleasant and was quick to offer assistance! This store has so many different Asian products! Not to mention a wide variety of longanisa sausages, fish, meats, etc.... I was able to get what I came here for (ube butter mochi) and a few more items. Sad to say I did have to share with my husband haha... My only complaint is the butter mochi wasn't cut into pieces, it was just a really big slice placed in a plastic container. Hopefully they will be able to fix that, then again maybe it's not meant for sharing!!! Lol My overall experience here was great! So, if you are looking for a one stop Asian store this is it!!! And don't forget to try that ube butter mochi!!!

I love the varitey of snacks that they offer especially the viral snacks you see on social media. Service is always quick and friendly! They do have a rewards program which you can get free items. All you need to do is sign up with your mobile number. When I visited a few days ago, I took notice that they've expanded their store which is cool! They have more room now to bring in new merchandise. Also, the lady that helped me mentioned that they may expand to another location on Maui which is awesome news! I highly recommend checking them out!

Mabuhay Mart is a welcome addition to North Kihei! Tucked beside the Tesoro gas station, this…read morelittle Filipino mart is small in size but big on variety. While it's a great go-to for Filipino staples--from snacks to pantry essentials--what really makes it stand out is its wide selection of unique treats from all over Asia. From Japanese Kit Kats, unique Lays chips flavors Korean candies, and more, it's a snack lover's paradise. What's really drawing the crowd lately are the viral fruit shaped ice creams -- the ones that blew up on the mainland and have finally made their way to Maui. They do sell out quickly, but they've been getting more shipments in regularly and have added more flavors to the selection to keep things interesting. The staff is friendly, and the store is clean and well-organized. The only reason it's not a full five stars for me is the pricing on some items--understandably higher due to import costs, but still a bit of sticker shock when you've had the same snacks in China, Japan, and the Philippines for a fraction of the cost. While it's tough to justify the splurge every time, once in a while, it's totally worth it. Sometimes I just miss certain treats I've had during past travels, and now I know Mabuhay Mart is an option when I'm feeling nostalgic for those snacks and willing to pay a premium. All in all, it's a worth a visit--especially if you're craving a taste of Asia right here on Maui.

Mama Ding's has been around for a very, very long time. Mention the name and some will exclaim…read more"They're still open?!" And while I have yet to step foot inside, I got a chance to try something from a co-worker's takeout that I'm definitely going back for! MENU: Puerto Rican Plate Lunch (pastele, gandule rice, bacalao salad, empanadillas, Portuguese sausage & dessert), or broken down into ala carte, box and pan-sized options. FOOD: Empanadillas I absolutely love meat turnovers. Empanadas, empanadillas... What's the difference between the two? Nothing really, except for the fact that in Puerto Rico, empanadas are referred to as breaded steak or chicken and empanadillas are meat turnovers. Other areas of Spanish-speaking folk call meat turnovers, empanadas. Whatever. All you need to know is that if you like either name, you're going to absolutely LOVE these. It is a well-known fact to friends that I don't care for pastele anything due to its odd and weak flavor. I've had a version from another Maui establishment as a stew and didn't care for it. So when I was offered a pastele-filled empanadilla, I grimaced at the opportunity but was all smiles and moans after devouring it! The warm dough was thick like a pie crust and insanely soft, flaky and buttery. Once you get past that delicious shell, the pastele filling bursts your tastebuds with mouth-watering, savory, tomatoey flavors that takes these bad boys over the edge! OMG. One was definitely not enough. TIP: They're a takeout only biz with odd hours and ordering procedures. Definitely call ahead. OVERALL: They're right up there with the best empanadas we had in Buenos Aires, Argentina!

Total came to $31.25 (cash only) Eating this plate was like eating a home cooked meal. Nothing outside of the norm, but just a solid, well flavored and balanced plate of deliciousness. You can tell these are tried and true recipes. Will be back when we're in the mood for authentic Puerto Rican food. Hopefully they will expand to more days of the week for pick up.

This is a short update on my visit and review from last week. It's a "good news, bad news"…read moresituation. The food news is that the stench is gone. It appears that whatever was causing it (most likely the clogged drain pipe) was quickly fixed, and everything is smelling clean, and back to normal. The checkout still had only 1 line open, but there wasn't much need for more when I came at 11:30am. The clerks smiled and were more cheerful than I had experienced in the past, so always a plus. On the negative side, one of the main reasons I came today was due to the Tuesday special ad items. They unfortunately didn't have one of the items I specifically came for, and after one of the floor clerks checked in the back for me, he said because they "share" these items with Times Market, they often don't receive any; which I think is terrible. It's not the first time, this has occurred, and it's very annoying, and I hope they remedy the situation for more fair and equitable allocation, so it doesn't feel like a "bait and switch" type of situation (I know it's not, but still, very frustrating). Can't give more than 4 stars.
