Absolutely, the best customer service in Maui…read more My fiancé are literally hours away from getting married on the beautiful island of Maui. We decided to have it in Paia, therefore stay at the Paia inn, therefore have the wedding rehearsal dinner at their restaurant Vana Paia. We were a little nervous due to numerous calls to the restaurant and not receiving clear communication from the hostess. The email was also bouncing back. "What was going on?" Luckily Sara (the owner) called us and apologize, as they were going through a restructuring in their team (all makes sense now) a wave of relief simmered over us. PHEW! After that, we set up with a few calls with Brandon and Charlie. Both FUCKING amazing gentlemen. They are both absolutely super professional, and on top of their game. (Great job Sara). They reassured my fiancé and I will be taken care of and the food will be delicious. They laid out a sample menu, with some signature drinks for our dinner, AND an on-site sushi chef just rolling out rolls, and nigiris. Absolutely bomb. The food was top tier, comfort food. The butterfish, full of umami. Followed with the mushrooms MMMM. The NY strip, medium rare, only way to eat it. The bartender Teddy was slanging Netflix show worthy drinks out to all of us, and not one of them disappoint. I'm a whiskey drinker and the old fashion signature drink AND the nobushi whiskey drink I had night before, perfect. We took some mezcal shots and he dropped some knowledge bombs on us when we cheered. And the grand finale... the spare ribs. I have not had ribs like these anywhere else. Seriously. Meat just falls off the bone. The chef was super friendly and came out to greet our family and friends. I had a chit chat with the chef about how he cooked the ribs, man what a process. After hearing the marinating and heat process I told myself "worth it." Don't let his looks fool you, he's top tier in his craft. My fiancé and I are very happy with vana paia, we might make this an anniversary type of deal :). Thanks Paia inn, thanks Vana paia, thank you Brandon, Charlie, and staff!

However, when you have to wipe the dust off of your dipping bow and plate, that kinda concerns me. The outdoor tables are located under a tree. Who knows where the "dust" came from. Strike 1. The ahi that was served with the salad was warm. Never had sashimi served warm (and with salt n pepper on it). Kinda scared me, but we still ate it. I truly regret this. Strike 2. The steak was delicious though. Tender and cooked perfectly. The sauce was also delicious. I believe it was a tomato-based sauce and as well as chimichurri. My husband and I shared our plates with each other. We both ended up with painful, upset stomachs that night. Strike 3.

I actually think it maybe even better than dinner! We ordered the loco moco with two eggs, teriyaki-pineapple burger, and the Chinese chicken salad, oh and the bao buns again. Everything was super tasty! We all agreed that if we came back that any of the entrees would be great to eat again. Gravy on the loco moco was really flavorful. The patties on both the burger and loco moco were nice and juicy (perfectly cooked!), and I ordered the salad and really enjoyed that as well. Service was also great... everyone we interacted with was very helpful. Made for an enjoyable time, all around! Cons- non that I can think of. One thing we found funny though... the dessert, the ingredients all sounded like the dessert we had before and really enjoyed (my girlfriend was one of the friends I came with last time), but when it arrived, it looked nothing like the prior dessert outside of the macadamia nuts and chocolate cake with chocolate sauce. I reread the menu and thought, what did we get last time- scraps?!?! Luckily I did ask... was told the dessert changed, but the dessert in a jar was the starting concept of the chocolate mousse cake. Whew! I'm so glad I asked... just so you know...it still tastes amazingly chocolatey, but now it also looks pretty too!

Kula, HI. This is a food truck parked in a cluster with…read moreseveral others. The setting has a carnival kind of vibe, both exciting and ominous. Well no bad guys ever showed up, and the hucksterism was pretty low key. The excitement was not to be had either but it was obvious that these trucks are feeding a lot of people. If they were only able to lower their prices even a little they could be feeding even more but I guess their overhead is probably pretty high even for a parked truck. Anyway I was expecting a bit lower price scale, but it is what it is. So .. For fifteen bucks plus tax and tips I got the seared salmon. The fish was nicely cooked, I enjoyed it. The vegetables were pretty meh but did help bring more of the sauce to the palate. Yes, the sauce was good, right on the verge of too much soy, but they did a good job keeping it balanced. The salmon portion size was small, but not insultingly tiny. Could have been a bit larger for the $15, the value is not there only if you compare to what you make at home, otherwise it's probably disappointedly normal. When you get your six inch diameter bowl you will see what I mean. The heap of rice made for good entertainment feeding the chickens. You're discouraged from feeding them so I just sat the bowl down behind the coffee guys trailer and watched them pig out. It is not exactly "Fast" food here, they are actually cooking the meal while you wait. I had my order in 12 minutes though, exactly how long she said it would take.

The Fans are loud we were greeted by having carafe of water placed on the table with two glasses no effort to pour the water . This chicken satay was OK. The peanut sauce did not have distinct flavor, kind of brown paste with a slight peanut flavor. . It was rather mild. We did have the Thai soup with shrimp, which was good had an authentic flavor. The two main courses we had were just acceptable. Nothing more the pad Thai was bland no hint of chili powder eggs no bean sprouts definitely a pass. . The server that took our order didn't ask us if we wanted it spicy or bland just assumed we wanted a bland by looking at us. Although young lady, who actually put our plates on the table, was courteous. It could not overcome the blend boring dishes that were put on our table. I don't think I'll be coming back there anytime soon. There are better options.
