    ALL vegan, not just options. Food truck with an easy order screen and covered picnic tables FANTASTIC LOCO MOCO!!!! Great staff. Totally chill, and no corpses! We'll be back!

    It's always great to find new vegan stops and Tabay's Mindful Kitchen was an EPIC find after a 12 hour day on the Road to Hana. We just made it to Tabay's about 30 minutes prior to closing and were warmly welcomed by Tabay with his big smile and positive energy! His truck is fun and was impressed with his great marketing and graphic work on his truck. Opening the menu was one after another thoughts of "Wow that sounds great"... "and so does that". After some contemplation and Tabay giving some feedback i landed on the BBQ Burger topped with onions rings. I had to add in the order of Buffalo Wings and an iced cold Lavender Lemonade. My family tried a wide range of different menu items like Buffalo Chik sandwich, Fish Tacos, and much much more. So let me jump right in and saw Oh My goodness... this was a massive surprise and everything we had was absolutely mind blowing. Now full disclosure. We are from Chicago and our entire family ( including 4 boys) have been vegetarian and spoiled with some of the best restaurants on the planet. Tabay's Mindful Kitchen literally just ranked to the top of my list. From the cute food court, clean kitchen, and infectious positivity I would fly back to Maui just for another visit to Tabay's! This is a must stop for Vegan, Vegetarians and even those meat eaters. I guarantee your mind will be Ask Tabay about his story... what a great one. All the best to Tabay ...a true entrepreneur!

    I've heard about this vegan food truck and couldn't wait to try it. I met Tabay at a networking event where I tried his Persian veggie burger. Ono! Had to find that food truck pronto!! In Kahului, across from Costco are several different areas with food trucks. Go to the one closest to the Marriott hotel and look for the bright, orange food truck. Omg, I couldn't believe how many choices there are!!! A vegan heaven !!! (The menu online doesn't show everything he offers.) I ended up ordering Mexican grilled wrap. (Not sure of name). It was HUGE!!!!! And had left overs for another day. The to go box even had a hand-written note in it. (Love is in the details.) And Tabay even delivered it himself. I highly recommend Tabay's if your vegetarian or looking to add healthier but fun food choices. Can't wait til next time!!

    Delectable Plant Based food in paradise. Doesnt get any better. Awesome customer Service. Big Macs were my favorite back then and this satisfied the taste buds and delivered. Ambiance: Youre in hawaii and eating delicious food under the beautiful sunny skies by the beach. What more can you ask. Keep it up Tabay's Mindful Kitchen. You are much appreciated.

    The owner Tabay was there to help me select what to order

    The Persian burger was the best burger I have ever had Special spices were amazing The cherry drink was so refreshing that I had to go back for seconds and the truffle fries were out of this world Going back today Service was super friendly The ambiance was great with all sort of other food trucks in a circle Right across from Costco

    I love this place. Tabay is always so nice with such good vibes and the food is great! I've tried the burger and the chicken wrap which I keep coming back to because it's so good. The fries are 10/10 too.

    Tabay and Sahel are super kind and always a pleasure to talk to, and they bring not only a Vegan addition to Maui's food scene, but also their home Persian culture in every dish they create. My favorite dish is the Steakhouse Burger, but I also love their Persian Cherry Drink and their vegan loco moco, a Maui-specific dish they've created for their time here - Miguel Morales Photography

    Business card + kind message

    The food was AMAZING! Definitely visit if you're vegan and in Maui. We spoke with the owner at the end of our meal and the service + backstory is fascinating! They left thoughtful personal messages in each of our containers and on the bag. The area is also very nice!

    Mexican pizza

    We got the loco moco and the mexican pizza and both were delicious. The chef was incredibly accommodating and even let me change my order at the last minute, so I'm definitely coming back to try the crispy chicken burger next time!

It was a short 5 min hop over from the airport to Da Tambayan Corner and parking in the adjacent lot was easy. All the food trucks are ringed around the central tables and look for the aquamarine Da Soriano truck over by the road. Their food style is Filipino with a Hawaiian twist if you hadn't discerned it from their name. They have a build-your-own-combo grindz menu that you can pick a couple of proteins with rice options or check out the picture menu if you really don't know what to get. My wife went for the combo of Pork Adobo & Garlic Butter Shrimp with Mac & Green Salad, both very flavorful choices. Her friend went double pork action with Chinese Roast Pork Belly & Calamansi Grilled Pork Belly and Pancit Bihon Noodles as her side. The Chinese roast pork belly was as crispy good as any I've seen in any Chinatown. My Seafood Trio had a Miso Glazed Salmon Fillet, 3 Baked Mussels, 2 Shrimp Tempura and topped with Kaboyaki sauce & Thai Chili Aioli. The Shrimp were not the typical panko coated but battered and tasted good drizzled with the 2 sauces. The mussels are topped with a heavy cheesy mayo sauce and baked. Of course, it wouldn't be a Hawaiian plate lunch without a scoop of white rice and a scoop of mac salad. All this wasn't enough and our friend went back to chat with the chef and came back with a double serving of banana lumpia in crunchy spring roll wrap and drenched in heavy syrup. This was an excellent dessert and wrap up to a great lunch. We were so stuffed, we had to skip dinner!

The most fun part was trying to determine what flavors/items were in each layer of the dessert cup. The halo halo wasn't overly sweetened and was just the perfect blend of creamy and refreshing.

Peeked their Instagram and saw a corned beef and egg grilled cheese sandwich. Say what? Less than 5 minutes later I was texting my order in. Unfortunately, no one actually ever answered my text (please don't tell people to text if you don't reply). Being impatient, I said screw it and just drove myself there to check. They are located in Kahului Industrial in the Ferguson's parking lot, across the way from Lee Bear's. It's a really, really random spot and parking could be a challenge if it gets busy. If it's slow, you could park right in front of the trailer. The family that runs this food trailer is born and raised in Guam and their menu features Chamorro cuisine like arrozcaldo, corn soup, etc. It didn't seem like it to me at first because everything was so so familiar to me, but my friend who was raised in Guam reminded me of how it's heavily Filipino influenced and mentioned that the grilled cheese sandwich was her childhood growing-up. No wonder (I'm Filipino)... Anywho, got my corned beef and egg grilled cheese sandwich! The corned beef isn't like your St. Patty's day corned beef, but more like the Palm brand canned corned beef. The bread was also slightly sweet and was the perfect vessel for all this deliciousness. The sandwich was so tasty and had the perfect amount of meat and cheese. Definitely a great way to start my morning and can't wait to have it again. My friend also recommended trying their corn soup & their red rice whenever it's available. Will definitely try those in the future too.

We have tried quite a few of the trucks and there were long lines and I was hungry so we drifted over to Kaipo's as they didn't have much of a line. Staff were ready for a laugh with us and we ordered the Shrimp Dynamite and the Rib Eye. They were quick to cook em up, just long enough for us to buy some pineapple lemonade from the stand next door (Wailemi). The food was MOUTH WATERINGLY GOOD. I cannot understand how they didn't have a long line!! People are missing out here! My Shrimp Dynamite was served in a small container, full of melty mushroomy goodness, with crunchy courgette, shrimp cooked to perfection and a creamy sauce on top. It wasn't as hot as I like, but I only deem something spicy when I can't feel the front of my face and steam is coming out of my ears so perhaps it is spicy enough for the general public. Nevertheless it was DROOLWORTHY, so good I had to share a single piece of courgette with my husband, but that was all he was getting! No more, Nada, nope. All mine! Hubbs didn't take long to demolish his with gusto, and he was 110% satisfied with dinner. Meat was cooked just right. We liked the scoop of macaroni salad, and the green salad with mustard dressing and scoop of rice that came with each dish. All were delicious and complimentary to each other. Very filling, very satisfying and totally DEEEELICIOUS. If you visit this roach coach park you have to try Kaipo's. It is one of the best there and you don't have to wait!
