Kamryn A.

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

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 .

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

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

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.

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.

Shani H.

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.

Seth M.

This food truck is amazing! We came back after a year and a half and the buns are just as good and we remember! The duck bun and the cheesesteak bun are both amazing and very delicious! We will for sure be coming back every time we come back to maui!

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.

Bao Bun Trio: Bao Chicka Bao Bao and Crispy Shrimp Bao Bun which
Kee F.

Let me just say, Suns Out, Buns Out was consistently good on both days (back-to-back) that we were able to get it. Here's what we tried, how we rated it, and what we thought: Day 1: Bao Chicka Bao Bao with Truffle Tater Tots--5/5. As someone who usually doesn't eat or care for slaw, I have to admit the slaw paired perfectly with the buffalo chicken. The spice and juices from the buffalo sauce complemented the fluffy and light bao bun without overpowering it. The truffle tater tots were an excellent side edition for an additional $4, but they were perfectly crisp with no soggy tots in sight, which we truly appreciated! Day 2: Bao Buns Trio with Truffle Tater Tots--5/5. We ordered two Bao Chicka Bao buns and one Crispy Shrimp Bao Bun which was really the star of the show! The tropical salsa and sweet chili mayo was AMAZING! The salsa was fresh and the mayo gave us a sweet and spicy kick which was perfectly balanced!

Sasha K.

Yummmmmmmmmyyyyyy...the most amazing bao buns I've ever had and to make it all the better they are stunning when you grab the vivid purple Ube ones. My favourite was the pork filling with crunchy and acidic pickled veggies. They have quick service and are made of exceptional quality. Who doesn't love some soft bread with amazing fillings and the Hawaiian sun shining on them?

Tots, Ube, Pork and Duck ... strange but delicious!
Josiah C.

By far the most unique and fun food truck in this lot. ALSO - my wife is allergic to pork and she was able to substitute! Good portion sizes, especially the tots. (Forgot the names but) We got the Duck/Goat Cheese, Bbq Pork, and the ube(sub tofu), plus the fried chicken tots. Excellent combo! Would recommend if you're looking for something new(and delicious). Crew was super chill and nice too.

They have lots of things, though. There was a yoga session happening in the middle lawn area. They have a butterfly area, even though the butterflies were somewhere else. There is an aging tortoise, I forget his name. There are also different businesses in the buildings, like a spa and a salon. There are different small vendors with their booths and several food trucks; although, some were not open in the morning and the Thai food truck had all their items sold out on their menu already. The prices were even more pricier than the food trucks at Maui Food Trucks. One vendor had hand crafted desserts for $20/piece! I admired from afar, haha. Everything is advertised as "farm to table" maybe justifying their prices. We shared an acai bowl and it was mid. The the peanut butter was just scraped on the side of the bowl. Our typical acai bowls at least put the peanut/almond butter in the middle like any other topping so you can get an even bite with everything. But the dallop of peanut butter just on the side, it was like we ordered peanut butter on the side of our acai bowl. It was weird. I bet it's more alive at night with more food trucks open and live music. We came and saw and didn't come back. I can see how it can be great for families with toddlers running around, giving them a safe space to burn their energy. Until then, this probably won't be the top of our list.

The area is lush with lots of plants and there a many vendors along the path where you can pick up a souvenir or gift to take home with you. The trucks offer a lot of different dishes to experience, my favorite being the one that sold Hawaiian plates, e.g. Kalua Pork and mac. It's a great place to stop by, relax and chill after a hard day of adventures. Surrounding parking is easy and plentiful. The area to the back of the lots has lots of parking space.

I called and asked them for directions and they actually guided us. They were also really patient in explaining the menu to us and explaining the different types of fish and what not. Really glad we were patient and actually came here! Such a lovely aesthetic to the whole area and the food. Oh my goodness!!! The burst of flavor in everything was phenomenal! Such unique combinations and everything was so fresh and cooked so well and just mind blowing! Husband and I kept saying how we should have just gone there multiple times for food! Mahi Mahi Bento bowl with Ono instead. (It has Crispy Sushi Rice / Black Garlic / Market Vegetables) I really have no words to see how good this combination was! I was actually a little full going into dinner but ended up actually wiping this whole plate clean! The food was that good! Husband got the Roasted Organic Chicken With Coconut with Coconut Carrot Curry and Roasted Vegetables. Very different vibe from my item but also really delicious. Heat thoroughly enjoyed this one! The chicken was perfectly cooked and the carrot coconut curry combination with the vegetables and the chicken was lovely. He kept some leftovers for the next day because the chicken portion size was quite huge and we enjoyed it even the next day! Seaweed salad was also delicious! Super fresh and tasty!

I'm not sure I've had, or will have, a better meal on Maui. It was named one of the top local spots last year, and that recognition feels completely deserved. Set at the far end of South Maui Gardens, the outdoor seating gives it a relaxed but special ambiance. For our 30th anniversary, my wife and I shared the smoked tomahawk steak family-style, along with black garlic roasted rice, pickled carrots and onions, and a roasted vegetable medley with a beautiful spice mix. Every bite was outstanding -- perfectly cooked, deeply flavorful, and clearly crafted with intention. We finished with the lilikoi meringue pie, which was just as impressive and a perfect way to end the meal. Maui has some incredible dining experiences, and Kitoko stands comfortably among the very best -- food truck or not. If you're looking for a truly memorable dinner on the island, don't miss this one.

We sorted through the menu of all of them and decided on Maui Shrimp and Da Nani Pirates. Both have touchscreen ordering boards set up out front.

There are a bunch of tables in the middle of the circled wagons, but we decided to take our food back to our condo to enjoy because of the fly problem like most food truck stands. There are also the ever present feral chickens strutting around. Don't feed them, chase them or try to grill them at your next BBQ! They get plenty fat on scraps that fall on the floor. I also wanted to try the Sol Bros Southern BBQ truck just to see their smoker in action but they were closed that day. A few mornings when we drove by, there were a line of cars in the exit lane going to the pick up window at the back of the Kraken Coffee truck. Most Starbucks don't even have drive-thrus, but there it was!
