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.

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.

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 Tim 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.

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.

We didn't see it when we turned left and parked further down. We were walking around other businesses but eventually found it. Do it! because it is well worth it. If you are looking for some true, basic, local, comfort food, this is a spot. We had the loco moco, corned beef hash loco moco, and the beef stew loco moco. All tasted sooo good and comforting. Loco moco beef patty was tender, moist and cooked properly. Had that earthy beef taste from the seasonings or was that just the natural flavor of the beef? Corned beef hash loco moco had that lightly grilled exterior with moist interior. Not too salty. I could taste the corned beef. So good! Beef stew loco. Wow! Never had that combo. Beef was tender, veg was plentiful. Excellent beef stew! We upgraded from white rice to their fried rice and were glad we did. Their fried rice is cooked with bacon and bits of their roast park and other meats. So flavorful! This place is known for its multiple loco moco flavors / combinations. Definite must try when you are here. Service was local, funny, and kind.

Excited to go to to Maui so I can eat at Sparky's. This has become one of my go to places on Maui…read more Food is constantly very yummy. My top two favorites are pastele stew and the guava chicken katsu. Pastele stew is really good, I would recommend to anyone who has not tried this type of stew. It's not very common and I'm pretty particular about the taste. They do it very well. The guava chicken katsu is also equally addictive even when it's cold. My former favorite was the smoke meat. I sometimes buy all three so that I can get it over $50. They give a discount with American savings debit card and give you $10 back. Took a friend there who has the loco moco and he was very impressed by the size and quality of the food. I haven't been able to try that yet cause I'm still stuck craving my top three. I've tried the coconut cake and it's ok. Also tried the candy pork jerky. It has a more pure flavor which is ok though kinda pricey. So I would say you should try those for yourself and decide. Eating in is very nice and clean. The staff serving are always very warm and welcoming. They serve a good mix of locals and visitors. Soon to have a bar. Going to be an awesome place to hang out. Hopefully it doesn't get to crazy crowded. But if it does, they deserve it. Tip. Freeze the pastel stew and bring it back to Oahu so you can enjoy between maui trips.

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.
