Tried Sumo Dog recently, while the service was good and the staff were friendly and efficient, the food itself didn't quite meet expectations. The hot dog looked promising, but the flavor just wasn't there. It lacked the bold, standout taste I was hoping for. Great concept and solid service, but the flavor needs a bit more punch. (Specifically since I got the spicy one , no spicy at all) read more

Sumo Dogs has been a mainstaple in the Maui Community for some time, and when I say that their hot dogs changed my life the moment I bit into the Liliko'i one, I mean it. The owner is super kind, and I find it great how they always create an amazing and loving ambiance and atmosphere no mattee where they go. To call these gourmet/artisan hot dogs is the perfect title - it's a perfect blend of savory and sweet, and brings together flavors that pair so well together. If you find them at your local Maui event, like the Maui Sunday Market, you HAVE to try their hot dogs (and also their Liliko'i Lemonade as well) - Miguel Morales Photography read more

You can find Sumo Dogs at the Maui Sunday Market. They have 4 different sauces or you can have them plain. Tried the Hinano and Titarella. Both were great! What surprised me was soft sweet bread but that surrounded the hot dog and sauce. It was a great combination. This is the perfect dinner/snack on the go especially when walking through the Maui Sunday Market. Will definitely come back again to try the other flavors. read more

Got the last dog of the night! Very tasty and fresh! Fast service with a smile !!! Will be back again.... read more

Flavors were great but I prefer hot dogs with more toppings like some grilled onions, jalapeños, peppers or something. Having the toppings would have made it a total win for me, especially at $8 a pop. Super friendly guy working the truck and we went on Sunday Market. read more

We went to the Kihei block party and saw this food truck called Sumo Dogs. We have heard about this truck before and really wanted to try them out. Now we can!! What a great surprise the service was friendly and fast considering how busy they were. We have never tasted such a delicious dog like this one in a very long time. We ordered Maui Mango Sumo dog Hawaiian style. These Sumo dogs are HUGE!!! Came with a Maui onion sweet bun, mayo, and other toppings I can't seem to remember. Then we ordered the special topping of Maui Mango. Now, there are other options you can order. For your Sumo Dog. Was so addicting we gobbled the sumo dogs down and realized it was gone before we knew it. This truck was the choice we made at the block party. We recommend this truck to try you won't be disappointed, I know we weren't. Unless you don't like all beef Dogs. read more

I. AM. ADDICTED. Their hot dogs are basically the main reason I go to the Swap Meet on Saturdays. $8 for a hot dog, you say? TAKE ALL MY MONEY NOW. It's worth every single penny. These island style gourmet hot dogs wrapped in sweet bread each come with Maui onion mustard & sumo garlic mayo. There are 4 flavors to choose from -- Upcountry Guava, Spicy Maui Onion, Maui Mango, & Lilikoi Tropix. The Upcountry Guava is delicious, but my absolute favorite is the Lilikoi Tropix. So, so good. Also, I've never tried it, but they offer shave ice at $5 a pop and have an array of different flavors. If you forget to/don't carry cash like me, no problem! They accept credit cards :) You can find their food truck parked on the right side of the Swap Meet; just take the first right turn as you enter and follow it all the way down. They also just started operating at a new location at the intersection of Kuihelani Hwy & Honoapiilani Hwy and frequent events on the island like 4th Friday in Kihei. Check their Facebook page for hours & locations. *Tip* Be sure to squeeze the hot dog around a bit to spread the mustard & mayo out evenly & if you can't finish it all in one go, ask for it to be wrapped to-go. read more

I first tried these bad boys at Maui Brewer Festival and they are amazing. At it's core, they are savory delicious hot dogs flavored with sauces, and baked into rolls. But they are amazing. Each flavor unique and perfectly balanced to showcase the sauce while remaining a delicious hot dog at it's core. My favorite is the Spicy Onion and the Upcountry Guava flavors. They are portable, clean to eat, and pair well with a nice coconut porter. The only hard part is getting to them when they are open and before they sell out. Everyone loves these so follow them on social media so you know where to find them, and get there early before they are gone. read more

We decided to grab a quick lunch on our way to Maui Ocean Institute. This truck just like all the Maui. Food trucks are crazy hard to find. Luckily on the day we were headed to the Ocean Institute they were at stationed at the large intersection where the 2 highways intersect. The setup is similar to Puka Dog in Waikiki BUT much better. The Spicy Maui onion sauce and the guava sauce that topped the dogs were solid! I am nothing usually a fan of sweet toppings on my wiener (no homo) but this guava sauce was the exception. The spicy Maui onion sauce had a nice sweet heat to it but did not over power the sweet bread or sausage taste. Both of these dogs flavors were very well put together. Good quick eats! read more

Ate this from block party in Kihei. If you find this truck, worth a try. My son finished the whole thing. I think he got the guava spread. Why can't they have this in the mainland? read more

We found Sumo Dogs at the Maui Swap Meet just a few hours before making our way back home to CA. My hubby brought me here despite his lack of interest in tropically-flavored hot dogs. Quite frankly, he's a ketchup and mustard guy so we searched this place out just for me. They've got some interesting combinations which include guava, coconut, pineapple, lilikoi -- Hawaii basics. Just like a similar hotdog spot on Oahu, the bread is soft and pillowy, while the dog itself was huge, and a had a great savory bite. I got myself the guava one, and hubby, in true fashion, got a plain ketchup and mustard. Though the combo was unique, it was heavy on the sweet side, like the other elements such as the mustard or garlic sauce didn't come through as well. It was a great hawaiian style hot dog either way, and we were glad to fill our bellies before heading back home. read more

Ever since i've been to Wailuku First Friday & had my very 1st sumo dog, I was hooked. I always get the Upcountry Guava Sumo Dog, it's like a bigger version of a hot dog but replace the bread with sweetbread (yum) & sweet sauce filling. I mostly see their food truck at events but when they do first fridays they have a tent booth-first time i went, i completely missed them. I usually have a lot to say when i write my reviews but trust me, sumo dogs are onolicious & I cant wait for First Friday =) read more

Tried Sumo Dog at the 2013 Ki Ho'alu Guitar Fest. I love hot dogs, so it was a natural instinct. FOOD: Lilikoi Dog - My friend got this for me. I wanted a plain ketchup/mustard dog but they don't make that. So this 10-incher-or-so plain beef dog is wrapped in a sweet bread bun and filled with lilikoi sauce, open at the top, closed at the bottom, making for a very clean eating experience. While I don't care for sweet condiments, I stomached it. TIP: The other selections also came lined with sweet sauces like guava. OVERALL: I'd be a fan if they'd offer saltier, traditional and unique toppings instead of fruit sauces. read more

A food truck dedicated to serving up savory hot dogs in a sweet bread bun... what's not to like? My favorite hot dogs at Sumo Dogs are: the tasty Upcountry Guava Dog with sumo garlic sauce, Maui onion mustard and guava jelly, and the Lilikoi Tropix Dog with the same ingredients as the guava dog, but with lilikoi jelly instead of guava jelly. Yum! read more

The hotdogs here are delicious. You can't go wrong with any of their sauces. When I come here I usually eat at least 2!

I really don't like hotdogs but these SUMO DOGS are AMAZING! I was in Maui one week and I chased them down just to have them before we left. It is owned by a family who is local. The grandma greets the customers, daughter makes the "AMAZING DOGS" and her grandson takes the orders. The guava dog was hands down the Best! If you haven't tried them..they are at the Maui swap meet on Saturdays and at the night market on Sundays at the Maui style market parking lot. ENJOY! read more

Totally awesome food truck. Tried for the first time at Kihei first Friday. We tried the maui mango and lilikoi tropix...both onolicious. Our daughter also loved the sweet buns they use. On our way this afternoon to see their new wagon in Kihei to try the upcountry guava and spicy Maui onion for lunch. If you're in Kihei, check them out next to the maui batting cage off the Pi'ilani hwy or at food truck oasis in Kahului! They had their little kids helping out at the trucks too and they were so cute and totally good sales people lol! read more

Miss this place so much! Had the opportunity to try this on our honeymoon last year at the Sunday Market they go to in Kihei. I have yet to try a better hot dog. Yes, their hot dogs are THAT good. It was the biggest hot dog I ever had. I waited in line for a long time because everyone wanted one. Got super lucky cause they almost ran out! I pray you stay in business throughout this crazy situation. I can't wait to visit again and eat your amazing food! Stay safe! read more

4 1/2 stars, only because of the price. Although good, I could have gone to Costco and got 5 hot dogs and a drink for the same price! Here's the positives! The owner, from what I read, is a war Veteran. Major plus! I will always patronize any Veteran's business, especially food places! THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE! I mean that! The hot dog is a little bigger than Costco's, so I'm sure Costco suffers from some kind of envy, especially since their hot dogs are HUGE! But the kicker is the sweet bread bun they serve that bumbucha sausage in! Very good taste and super soft! The wait, about 5 minutes per dog, was a little long, and hoping that wasn't normal, especially with no other customers waiting, but well worth it. I think that sausage was too big for the bun! Gotta lube it with the sauce to make it slide in! Oh, and the sauces are also delicious and not the norm that you see at other hot dog places. Lilikoi, I believe, was one of the choices, as well as Maui onion. Great place to eat if you like hot dogs, and they go to the swap meet every Saturday, from what I understand. I hear they also go to the food truck park down the road from Costco on other days. Will definitely try again, but too bad can't afford to eat here daily. Definitely a great tasting dog! read more

Footlong dogs on custom made Hawaiian style rolls. All come with their garlic sauce and tropical mustard. The owner suggested the Maui Tropix which is lilikoi flavored. The taste...broke da mouth! It's one of the best things I've tried on this trip, no joke. $8 is reasonable considering the quality and experience. You've been Sumo slapped, now go get one! read more

Sumo Dogs - Maui Tropix (lilikoi) at the Kihei Fourth Friday. - Food Trucks Near Me

It was a happy coincidence that I happened to try Sumo Dogs at a First Friday about a year ago. Since then, it has become THE SPOT at First Friday! My husband is over the moon for them as well. I get the Upcountry Dog. Sweet, a little bit of spice (very mild), and delicious to the last bready-hotdoggy-bite. My husband gets the spicier dog which he very much enjoys! Always service with a smile. Try sumo dogs, you won't be disappointed! read more

Lilikoi & a hot dog?! Yes, please! It's called sumo for a reason! The combination was mouthwatering & I believe it was with sweetbread. Can't go wrong with it when you are at a location where you are walking anyways (Kihei 4th Friday). It was a little wait to get it but worth it! Try it out the next time you see this food truck around! read more

Sumo Dogs - Lilikoi tropix - Food Trucks Near Me

The hot dogs were pretty good and satisfied my craving. The toppings are limited. I got the lilikoi tropix dog. Comes with mayo and a lilikoi relish. The dog definitely could have used less sauce, as the sausage is fairly mild and benign, and the entire thing was overwhelmed by the mayo and lilikoi. The bun was yummy and soft. read more

We appreciate your contacting us. We understand and sorry for your and your family's loss. Will see you again when things are better!

So fun and unique flavors! We enjoyed our Sumo Dogs and the guy in the truck was nice! Fast and friend and good!

Best dogs around, seriously. We thought, "oh, puka dog on Maui" (on Kauai) No, much bigger and the taste, oh, so amazing. The hubby and I both ordered Spicy Mustard Onion dog, AMAZING.

My husband and I had the upcountry guava as well as the Spicy Maui onion dogs as suggested by the gentleman taking our order. Needless to say, these dogs were FANTASTIC.. From the bread down to the savory and sweet sauces used with the dogs. As goodies from California, we are always in the lookout for yummy food! Although hotdogs are t the first thing we'd usually look for, these dogs do not disappoint! Thank you sumo dog for feeding our hungry tummies. We will definitely be back for more on our next trip to the swap meet!!! read more

Sumo Dogs is amazing. If you want a Hawaiian twist on an American classic, look no further. There are four main flavors that they have. Upcountry Guava, Maui Mango, Spicy Maui Onion, and Lilikoi Tropix. Even though there are four, it's hard to choose just one flavor. I've tried the Lilikoi Tropix and Upcountry Guava and man are do they hit the spot with sweet and savory. The hot dogs are pretty huge so you'd get pretty stuffed from one, and for only $8 its practically a steal. The flavors are very original, its likely you won't find them any where else. And the staff (or guy in the cart) is super friendly. If you're at the swap meet in Kahului or in Kihei for 4th Fridays, you have to pick one up. Its a Maui must. read more

Spicy dog was one of the best tasting dogs I've had!! A great treat while exploring the Maui swap meet.

Amazing - Hawaiian bread to dog ratio out of balance - but easily remedied - cut half of bun, take home and toast, enjoy with next meal especially next b'fast with scrambled eggs/maui onion/spam! Just amazing - the most aloha spirited xperience, as well as just plain - get off the plane and get there. Enjoy, smile at the keiki learning the right things. And enjoy potato salad with bacon (yes, with bacon!!!) and kimchi (loved It but respect not all do - pass it on) These folks rock - and are in my dreams between trips to visit family. Worth the price and then some - you feel good all day. read more

Brah, these hot dogs are ONO! These aren't your standard hot dogs, but even for $8 bucks a pop, they are well worth it. To be clear, they aren't the favorite local style red hot dog, however, the hot dogs they use have a nice spice and flavor to them and are kind of on the bigger side. The bun is kind of like Portuguese sweet bread style and really fluffy, which complements the savory bun! They have all kine non-traditional stuff you can add inside that are both sweet and savory. My fav is the spicy maui onion. read more

Honestly, I've never been the biggest fan of hot dogs. I'm more of a burger or pizza guy, but this hot dog is definitely one that I will come back for. From the quality of meat to the bun to the extra toppings added. I never thought you could make a hot dog "gourmet," but these guys have figured that out. Only tried the guava flavor, but I'll come back to try the others for sure! read more
