More than enough for one person../probably a little too much for one person :) The inside has pretty limited seating and there is some outdoor seating, but also limited- so you may want to consider ordering to go. The parking lot is also pretty tight since the entire back row is reserved for employees

Actually was quite pleasantly surprised that we liked the Venezuelan food. The lady at the counter…read morewas friendly and helpful. Lots of plant based options. Beans were well cooked and flavored. So was the rice. The bananas/ plantains added good sweet flavor to the whole meal. The coconut cheese was interesting. Never had that before but it did taste like cheese and added flavor. The jackfruit arepa sandwich that we had, could have had the jackfruit, cheese, plantains mixed together better. The jackfruit bowl was better as it was easier to mix everything and get all the flavors together. Pretty much same as the sandwich but a little more and easier to mix (so would recommend the bowl over the sandwich). The sandwich seemed to be made of rice. We also had a mango and a coconut slushie drink. The mango tasted like the mango concentrate from Costco (sugary) and the coconut was a little more original/ different. We liked both though. Limited indoor seating. Outdoor seating available. Steady flow of patrons. The only thing I didn't like was that the price was a bit high though in my opinion but I guess everything in Maui is that high priced. Update: went back and got a coconut slushie drink again :) and tried the plant based mushroom and cheese (coconut cheese) and fish empanada. They were delicious with the mushroom being our favorite. The chipotle sauces and cilantro onion sauces were delicious as well! The empanadas are not made to order (they are premade so you cannot seperate out the cheese from the mushroom but it does not have a strong flavor). I also liked the coconut slushie by itself vs mixed with mango. Note: The empanadas come in 2: when you eat in house, a red Chipotle sauce and white cilantro onion sauce are given with it (as well as with the arepas); there is another sauce for vegans (think it's a cilantro/ oil/ spice sauce). We liked the white sauce better than the vegan sauce. The empanadas are not made to order (they are premade). If you order to go, you are only given once sauce. If you want more than one, you need to just add it on before you leave with the big dispensers. Otherwise, you only get one sauce (not sure why you can't just add white and red sauce in the same to go container but we weren't given the option). And, to make things worse, the lady said curtly she would charge me next time for 2 sauces "due to the plastic". well, thank you for not charging me but the statement was unnecessary IMHO. Note for improvement (and for this, I was tempted to drop the star rating): we came here multiple times and gave your business a lot of our dollars (about 135.00), yet the above statement, I don't think was necessary if you are trying to provide good customer service. You should gladly offer extra of the sauce or even, as I suggested above, allow customers to add the sauce themselves if they want more than 1 sauce and you don't want us to "use up your plastic containers". Kind of left a bad taste in our mouths.

If you're having doubts about eating here, let me put them to rest. Go. The service was great (Omar…read morewas a g, super nice), we enjoyed people watching everyone at the pool. But the food? PHENOMENAL. We shared the BBQ plate and fish and chips. The fish was so fresh and flavorful. I had to take a moment to process the magic that had entered my mouth. But my number 1? The absolute goat? THE RIBS. Those ribs were the best I've ever had. They fell off the bone and the crispy exterior was so freaking good. I have no words. I can never eat ribs again. Truly a life changing experience.

The meat was tender and divine. I'll never forget my first bite when my taste buds nestled onto the crispy exterior. I didn't just taste deliciousness; I tasted the craftsmanship, the love, the determination, the flames, the seasoning, the hands that put together...dare I say the greatest ribs of all time. I could have cried as all of my pain was healed in every bite.  The fish n chips were also incredibly good, a close second. The fish made me fall to my knees and thank life for putting me on this planet so I could eat this fish today. With traditional fish n chips, the crust carries the taste, but here at Captain Jack's it tasted like the fish was born with the flavor its molecules and genes seasoned with the magic that we had devoured. Please please go to Captain Jack's, and if you only order one thing make it the delicious, creamy, savory, healing barbecue ribs

I was a BIG fan of the Monkeypod Mai Tai Flapjacks (with the lilikoi foam!), the Organic Blueberry and Lilikoi Flapjacks, and the Greek Yogurt Bowl (super fresh fruit with great variety)!

We booked our stay through Costco, which included a $60 daily breakfast credit, and Ulu Kitchen quickly became one of our favorite parts of the trip.

The staff were also incredibly friendly and welcoming, which made the experience even better. The combination of the gorgeous setting, delicious food, and wonderful service made Ulu Kitchen a highlight of our stay. We would absolutely recommend it and will definitely be back the next time we're in Maui!

Best meal in Maui by far!…read more Tonight we experienced the most incredible dinner since we have been in Maui. Our amazing server Nick recommended we get the whole fish; he said to trust him as it is cooked over a charcoal oven. Well, Nick was right... we have had cooked fish from all over the world and nothing was as exceptional in flavor and size as this fish! It came with two sides; we ordered the mashed potatoes and corn and let me just say the corn was phenomenal and award winning! We topped our meal with the banana cream pie and it blew us away! Also, the cocktail menu and wine menu is exceptional. We started with the Ua Kapalua (jalapeño cucumber tequila) and it's better than any drink at any Los Angeles hot spot. The wine we ordered after was a Spanish wine that paired perfect with our meal. Coming back on this trip and asking for Nick as our server again! 5 star service and 5 star food

We made a reservation about a week in advance and I highly recommend doing that because it was packed the night we went. I think they may have bar seating first come, first serve. I really liked the celebration cocktail and my husband enjoyed the Kamuela Fizz. We ordered the pork steam buns, which I loved the most. Pro tip: ask for four if you have a party of two or four. They won't charge you extra and you'll have an even number so no one is fighting for some. We also enjoyed the hot and sour soup and the Look More Funn noodles. Everything we ate was delicious. Our server was stellar. I recommend asking for their spicy chili oil, if you like heat. It paired well with everything we tried. Parking was very difficult right by the restaurant but someone at our hotel mentioned they always park in the Longs Drugs parking lot and we did that- no issue.

We had a very disappointing experience at Star Noodle…read more We arrived early for our reservation and walked around to kill some time. About 30 minutes before our reservation, we returned and attempted to order non-alcoholic drinks for our kids while waiting outside. We were told that this was not allowed--apparently, children cannot even have water or soft drinks in the outdoor area. This was an extremely strange and unnecessarily rigid policy. Even more confusing, we were told the bar area was reserved exclusively for walk-ins. Because we had a reservation, we were not allowed to sit at the bar and have a cocktail while waiting. The whole situation was bizarre and made what should have been a relaxed start to dinner unnecessarily uncomfortable. The food may be good, but the customer experience and inflexible policies left a very poor impression.

She made great recommendations for dishes to try and everything from the kitchen was great. I forgot to take a pic of my food but I got the salad I had been craving after too many days of spam and Kalua pork. Hawaiian Saimin (like ramen) was great too and I forget what other people had but they all seemed to enjoy it except the Poke bowl which was tried at various places on the island and never enjoyed so maybe it was they just aren't into Poke but kept trying it anyway?

CASH ONLY , they are very clear about this which we did not know…read more The restaurant is located in a Small outdoor strip mall, limited parking but it is not in a busy area so you should be good! Very casual service. We ordered: Mahi Mahi Lemon Caper Sautée: 1/10 The fish just tasted extremely bland not fresh tough and the lemon sauce just made it wet but added in no flavor as well. Rice was mushy tasted overcooked Mac salad was decent but not the traditional Mac salad flavor. Kung Pao Chicken: 2/10 Small pieces of chicken mostly fried so very little chicken this dish had a good amount of flavor because it was sweet. Chicken and shrimp fried rice: 1/10 Rice was so mushy quality and freshness is just not there. Overall this was not our best meal in Maui I had seen the mixed reviews and wanted to give it a try unfortunately I would no eat here again just because it was not just one dish that lacked quality freshness and flavor it was everything I ordered.
