After reading all the wonderful reviews, we decided to try this place for my husband's birthday…read morelunch. It was empty when we got there, with many tables to choose from, so we sat in one of the small booths near the back door. Service was pretty quick and he was very friendly and professional. Okay, the food that sounded so yummy on the menu ended up being disappointing. We ordered the reuben panini and the mahi with tropical salsa. The sandwich came without the promised sauerkraut, though the French fries were good. And, while the mahi mahi was good and the accompanying mac salad extremely tasty, the tropical salsa left much to be desired. It was bitter and was overwhelmed by the taste of the cilantro and onions and was in desperate need of an additional fresh fruit to join the Papaya. Overall, I recommend the service, but not the food.

This is one of my go to spots when I visit home since my mom loves this restaurant. Their are…read moremultiple locations around the island. This one is located in the Maui Lani Shopping Center. Its a casual restaurant. Seating is first come first serve. Service is always quick and friendly! You'll place your order at the counter and they'll bring your order to the table.

You order first at the counter and then sit at a table with your order number placard. The restaurant is no frills, simple layout with a bunch of self seat tables. Turnover's pretty quick too. Food was out fast & piping hot. Everything comes in a take out container. Condiments are in a basket near the front counter. My chicken fried steak loco moco was great. Fried well, tender and just the right crisp, dark brown gravy paired with it well. My husband got the MooCow Wow Omelet. We got both plates with the fried rice. The omelet was filling and tasty. We both left stuffed. Would definitely eat here again.

Tin Roof…read morefit the bill...it is located minutes from the airport and we found their food was a great way to start our vacation. I ordered the fish sandwich and my husband had the mochiko chicken with garlic noodle ( garlic noodle +$4). The fish sandwich came with American cheese, tartar sauce and perfectly fried fish fillets. Mochiko chicken was crunchy - it came with crunchy rice crackers bits with a soy sauce based sauce. My son had the poke which also had the rice cracker bits. We all enjoyed the Poke as well. I also ordered the Bibingka which was their chocolate butter mochi with sprinkles. I never had chocolate butter mochi before, (only regular butter mochi from family potlucks) it seemed it didn't have that coconut flavor that you get with regular butter mochi but I am glad I tried it. The food overall hit the spot. Staff was kind and welcoming. You can order online but we opted to order in person and the wait was not long. (We got there before 5pm). This is a take out place so you need to plan. We knew we wanted to do a Costco run before checking in so we just ate in the car. Costco is super close by which made Tin Roof very convenient as well.

Heard a lot of hype about this spot, so I was excited to give it a try, but unfortunately, I left…read morefeeling pretty underwhelmed. The mochiko chicken was nice and crispy on the outside, and I really liked the crunchy bits sprinkled on top, which added some extra texture. However, the chicken itself was extremely bland and barely had any flavor. I was expecting something spicy and well seasoned, and it really could have used a LOT more sauce to give it some flavor. The garlic shrimp was probably the better of the two dishes. The shrimp had a nice garlicky flavor, but I really didn't like that they were fried with the shells on. It made them pretty difficult and messy to eat because you have to peel off the shell while trying not to lose all the garlic, seasoning, and crispy breading stuck to it. The mac salad was decent but nothing special. It was a little bland for my taste, and I wish there had been more potato mixed in since the potato was the element with the most flavor. Another downside is that there was absolutely no seating, so you'll need to plan on taking your food elsewhere to eat. This was pretty inconvenient, especially if you're not staying nearby and want to enjoy them while they're fresh. The cashier also wasn't particularly friendly, which didn't help the overall experience. Overall, I think this place is a bit overhyped. The food wasn't terrible, but the mochiko chicken really missed the mark in terms of flavor, and between the lack of seating and service, I didn't think the experience was worth the hype.

Parking is limited so you are not allowed to eat in your car. There are many places like Iao Valley, local parks, or Wailuku Heights to enjoy your meal if you are a visitor.

You can really taste the quality. One little detail I appreciate is that they dice the onions small, rather than the big chunks you get at a lot of other places. It makes for a better bite every time. They have a great variety too, with everything from spicy ahi to tako and shoyu options. Are they on the higher priced side? Yes. Is it worth it? Also yes. This is a nice "treat yourself" kind of poke, and we will absolutely be back. If you are looking for quality fresh poke on Maui, give Kaohu Store a try.

The food is always hot, fresh, and packed with flavor, and the portions are generous.

It's the kind of local spot that reminds you why supporting small businesses on Maui matters. You can tell they care about what they put out, and it shows in every bite. Highly recommend grabbing take out here. You won't be disappointed!

All the portions were generous and tasted great. Service was, of course, friendly.

Still a decent quantity. The pork is so tender and flavorful. My wife wanted it spicier, so she added her own hot sauce. She was only able to finish half her meal. Lilikoi Smoked Meat - OMG, the sauce was so good. Not too sweet. And all lean meat/pork. I was so full but I could not stop eating. I left happy but uncomfortable. BTW, my plate was smaller than my wifes?!?! Ambiance - A small local business. I expected with all these Yelp reviews that they would have been busier. In my favor, they were not busy. Plus every customer here (before and after us) were first time customers!! Congrats again! Open 7 days a week from 10am to 8pm. Small and not easy to get to the parking lot, we had to drive around the entire block. Service - Counter service. Friendly. Price - $50, expensive but that is the cost for quality. Owner Comment - Congrats on all your success since 2016 and at this location for the last 4 years. Plus a family run business. Lastly, congrats on your future expansion and a future bar!!

It was pretty busy when we arrived at the restaurant. Luckily their was a table available for my mom and I. I was a little confused since I thought they take your order at the table. However, you would need to just place your order and pay at the counter. They'll also, give you a number to place on the table and bring your order to you. Service was quick and friendly! My mom and I ordered the special Korean Fried Chicken, Mini Pastele Stew, Kalua Pork and Hamburger Steak. It was yummy! My personal favorites was the Korean Fried Chicken and Pastele Stew. I wanted to order laulau but it's only served on Fridays which does state on the menu. I'll definitely be back!

Everyone was so friendly, helpful, and welcoming. We felt right at home.

But there is also a turn for Kihei, so the deviation isn't too bad if driving from the Airport. Had the loco moco, lau lau, Kim chee mein, and two beverages $60 plus we gave a tip. Sat outside in picnic table shaded by a high tree with great view of the east. Loco Moco had two patties, with customary rice and plenty of gravy. Value price $10.95. 7 out of 10 as bar is high in Hawaii. Lau Lau da boss said 10 out of 10. Portion was large (with sweet potato, lomi salmon, rice, Mac salad) but so was price of $22.95. Kim Chee Mein was 10 out of 10, reasonable value of $9.95. Kim Chee lovers delight with fresh noodles and fish cake too. The overall experience including outside breeze and view was great.

Also had Mac salad, which is great --comes with some potatoes added and potato chips on top ---kind of fun. We had the chicken Teri dish which was fantastic with the sauce and then the broccolini with the type of Caesar sauce on the bottom and cheese on top was super also.
