The Da Piggy Bowl is a big bowl full of flavor. I like the menu and the portions are very good for the price. Please come and create your own adventure.

Little piggy
Cryetti C.

Food: 4 Service: 4 Ambiance: 4 t was a perfect Maui day, and we decided to head over to the food truck area. Buns Out Suns Out was already on my list, so I was really excited to finally try it. We came a little after the lunch rush, and there was no line at all, which was a nice bonus. We ended up ordering the Little Piggy Bao, the Bao Chicka Bao Bao, and the Hurricane Tots. I absolutely loved the Little Piggy Bao, especially the ube bun. The pork belly was cooked to perfection and paired so well with the slightly sweet ube bread. The Bao Chicka Bao Bao was also very delicious, flavorful, and crunchy. The Hurricane Tots were good, but they didn't quite blow me away compared to the baos. Everything we tried was really tasty, and honestly, I wanted to eat way more baos but had to control myself. I would definitely recommend this spot for a great snack, or if you're making a meal out of it, be sure to order a few extra baos. It's a must-try when you're checking out the food trucks in Maui

I've a t-shirt with this spots name so you know I gotta try it out! And ooooo the variety! I wanted to try one of each lol. They were super friendly and was super helpful with our order! The bao buns were yummy and filling. I ate 5 of them . They did have dessert bao buns that I was tempted to buy but I was nice and didn't . Will definitely be back for their dessert menu! Almost forgot to mention the buns we got!! we tried the bao chicka bao bao (this was really good and the chicken was great!), uncle Philly (this was my fav!!!) and crispy shrimp (this had a monster size shrimp and was nicely fried) This is located in a food truck area so they have benches to sit and eat at and there will be chickens running around the area .

Got an assortment of baos and safe to say that each one was better than the next!! They all were warm, fresh, and super soft. All the combos were great. Came out quick and in a great spot with lots of food trucks so these baos were the perfect appetizer

Tater tots

Super solid choice for food in Kihei. Located in the food truck park right by Azeka shopping center. The buns are tasty and fresh. The shrimp bun was by far our favorite. The tofu bowl was "super fire" according to the person that got it. The pork belly bowl was good, but not my personal favorite. The pork was a bit too sweet for my liking (but it wasn't my main meal, so I was ok). The guys running the trick were super nice and asked us to let them know if anything was off. They have a kiosk to order which is helpful on busier days. Actually many of the food trucks now have a kiosk ordering available. The bathrooms are clean (if you get there early enough), and the tables are communal. Just a reminder, don't feed the chickens!

Suns out buns out has deliciously fresh Bao buns. They offer tons of different types of Bao and different varieties of flavor profiles. Such as duck, shrimp, chicken, and pork. The Bao buns themselves are warm and soft to perfection, great flavor in every bite, and very filling. I love suns out buns out for a yummy bite to eat

I stopped by here yesterday for lunch. Sun's Out Buns Out is located in a food truck pod, so I did not realize exactly where I was going until I saw all of the trucks. The truck itself is fun, painted with bright tropical colors and scenes, and they seem to be known for their loaded tots and bao buns. I placed my order on the touchscreen outside and then sat down to wait for my food. For lunch on this day I went with the buffalo chicken tots and the Island Piggy bao. The menu described the bao as kalua pork, BBQ sauce, tropical salsa, and pickled red onions. The buffalo chicken tots were described as buttermilk fried chicken, buffalo sauce, jack cheddar cheese, house made pickles, and ranch dressing. It took less than 10 minutes for my food to be ready and I sat down at one of the shaded picnic tables. When I opened everything up it all looked good, but I did notice that the tots were missing the house made pickles. I started with the bao and thought it was pretty good. The kalua pork was super juicy and the bao bun was light and fluffy while still holding together well. The pickled onions added a nice acidity and the tropical salsa brought good flavor. The only thing I did not notice much was the BBQ sauce. After that I dug into the tots. The tots themselves were cooked nicely with a crispy outside and soft inside. The chicken was good as well with a nice batter and the buffalo sauce added flavor while the cheese was gooey. The only thing worth noting is that the chicken was softer than expected and not very crispy. It worked since I did have the texture from the crispy tots, but it stood out. The bottom line for me is that I would head back here again in the future. I would probably not order both a bao and tots again as it was a lot of food, but I would definitely come back for one or the other.

Crispy shrimp Bao

I went at 5PM on a Tuesday, it wasnt busy at all. You can order on a tablet and they will text you once your order is ready. I tried the crispy shrimp Bao. The crispness was on point. Flavor was 10/10. The pineapple added perfect amount of sweetness. Honestly I wish I got more than one.

Bao trio and loaded tots

Great name, great food!! We tried six different bao buns and tots loaded with kalua pork, pickled onions, pineapple salsa and magic! Everything was delicious! The packaging is earth conscience, and it stayed fresh on the 10 minute drive back to the condo. A definite must try and repeat! Oh!! And the service was kind and efficient :)

Got the special bun from this food truck! Purple is such a cool color in food. Tasted delicious! Would recommend coming! The staff inside were really nice too.

Came to the food truck park to grab an urgent snack. I ordered one duck and one mushroom. Both were ready very quickly. Looking forward to trying more on my next trip.

Suns Out Buns Out is a must stop food truck with seriously unique flavors. The bao are perfectly soft and pillowy, and everything we tried was packed with flavor. The spam brussel sprouts were amazing and such a fun, unexpected combo. Our absolute favorites were the ahi bao and the pork tots, both were standout, crave worthy dishes. We visited last May, so some of the items were seasonal, which just makes it even more exciting to go back and see what's new. Great service, great vibes, and really creative food. If you see this truck, do not skip it.

Trio
Daryl D.

Bao bun trio that way you can try different flavors. Little piggy - love this because of the ube bao bun. Island piggy - love the pork and salsa in this one. Duck duck goat - I don't have goat as much so why not try this. I enjoyed the flavors of this one. I really enjoyed this meal. It was filling and tasty.

The Maui Food Trucks was a hit throughout our week stay.

So yes, great variety ! The trucks that were there were when we visited were: Sol Brothers BBQ Suns Out Buns out (bao bun sandwiches) Vidad's (local plates, acai bowls) Maui Shrimp Maui Burgers Da Nani Pirates (fish tacos, local, sliders) Kracken Coffee Aloha Tai Fuson Z4 Grill (Teppanyaki, local food) Mexican Food truck K'Alale (breakfast, Mexican, pasta) Yummy Maui (sushi) Shaved Ice Most trucks you order on the electronic kiosk and they'll call your name when it's done. There are several (maybe 6?) covered areas with numerous tables and chairs, so ample seating is available. I saw a lot of complaints of dirty tables from bird poop. We had no problem with the tables. They were all clean. However there ARE a ton of birds and chickens, so except them to join you for lunch and and run around your feet and below the tables, waiting for you to drop food. One annoyance was only a few places have a kids menu, and was limited to hot dogs, grilled cheese, and cheese burgers (depending on what trucks are there). I do suggest you look up each individual food truck on yelp to see their menus and food pictures. This page doesn't give the greatest insight on that. A solid 4 star spot for lunch! Highly recommend if you want variety

There is a small parking lot on the side and street parking by the library across the street. The main draw here is the poke but they also serve fish tacos and fish plates. 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.

It's a simple Hawaiian comfort-food classic, but the quality of the ingredients really takes it to another level. The dish features a natural, grass-fed, certified Black Angus beef patty over organic jasmine brown rice, topped with two free-range eggs cooked your way and rich mushroom-onion gravy, served with Nalu's mac salad. Everything comes together beautifully, from the juicy beef patty to the savory gravy and perfectly cooked eggs. It's hearty, satisfying, and packed with flavor. I especially appreciate the focus on quality ingredients. My husband wasn't particularly hungry, so he went with the Maui Fruit Bowl, and it was such a refreshing alternative! Seasonal fresh fruit, granola, toasted coconut, Greek yogurt, and honey, served with gluten-free banana bread. The fruit was incredibly fresh, and the bowl felt light and refreshing -- a lovely balance to my hearty Loco Moco. It's a great option if you're in the mood for something lighter for breakfast. The ordering process is casual and easy: place your order at the hostess stand, find a table, put your table number marker out, and the food is brought directly to you. It's a relaxed setup that makes breakfast convenient without sacrificing the dining experience. Overall, Nalu's really impressed me with its quality ingredients, delicious Hawaiian breakfast classics, and fresh, lighter options. Whether you're craving an indulgent Loco Moco or a refreshing fruit bowl, there's something for everyone. Come for the Loco Moco -- you won't regret it!
