Tonight, after we had finished our dinner and beers, a staff member approached us and accused us of leaving without paying the night before. Not asked politely. Accused. We immediately told him to check the security cameras because we absolutely paid our bill in cash. We even said we would gladly sit there while they reviewed the footage. Instead, we were told the cameras only go to the owner's home and apparently could not be checked. Being publicly accused of not paying a restaurant bill after you've already spent another evening there is embarrassing and unacceptable. If there is money missing, perhaps management should look internally before accusing paying customers. My recommendation: if you dine here, pay by credit card so you have proof of payment.

It's pretty much one of the only places on this side of Molokai and I was quite glad we didn't miss their open times on the way back from our hike! Warning they do close early, but their online hours are accurate. It's pretty much a window you walk up to and order at. There's very limited picnic bench seating outside. It seems that most people use it as a grab and go. Anyway, if you happen to be looking for somewhere to get a prepared meal this is going to be a much fresher and interesting option that what you'd find in the main town. Check it out if you get the chance!

You order then sit (I believe) as thats what most people were doing. They bring you your food (think pancake & Waffles) when it's ready and you grab your own condiments. I ordered The Bento because I couldn't make up my mind. It included rice, mac salad,1 slice spam, Mochiko Chicken, BBQ Beef, and 2 large pieces of Shrimp Katsu. Mochiko Chicken is light and crispy and the Shrimp Katsu was battered and huge. The BBQ Beef was succulent and juicy however the sauce wasn't overwhelming. Spam is spam. The rice was a tad dry however the mac salad was good. I did not eat any of the other plates however since all were empty, Im assuming it was Ono. Next to the register there is a display case with various desserts. The next day going home, we stopped by to grab some dessert. The Lava Rocks come in a pair at $5.50. Moist, soft and super chocolaty. The chocolate haupia bar was very nice and not overly sweet. The Chantilly brownie was very chocolaty with a hint of Chantilly and nuts only on top. Both bars were a Shareable size. Overall the staff is very helpful and friendly, the restaurant itself, very bright & open and the food was very Ono! Highly recommend.

We were there on a late Sunday afternoon. Mostly locals but in a nicer strip mall with a great Safeway for groceries and other business. Good parking generally.

It was a better and more enjoyable choice than Tin Roof as inside dining available though food quality between the two choices is subjective to the one eating. Tin Roof is closed Sunday and Monday. Kaleis has some great deals on bento combos weekdays I was sorry we missed but maybe another time when we are in town! Go Try Try!

I remembered that we ordered the Loco Moco on our last trip, and it was memorable enough for us to return. This time around, we ordered the blackened seared ahi plate, the panko fried mahi mahi sando and spaghetti and meatballs for the kiddo. Admittedly, I was a little disappointed with our food this time. Both of fishes entrees were only okay... somewhat on the dry side unfortunately. Even the kiddo, who can be pretty picky, but LOVES spaghetti... he was even discerning enough to say his entree was a "3 outta 5, mommy." I'm sure their other items are pretty good, and maybe they were having an off day, or we just didn't order their best stuff. Whatever the case was, it was a little disappointing. We typically love joints like this... little hole in the wall type places. Service was stellar though-super friendly staff, especially since we were "local tourists." Please keep in mind: this is a cash establishment!

I love the poke bowl- it's great that they use brown rice, just a little more healthy than the most restaurants - and I think the fish is fresh caught daily. I've seen local fishermen delivering fish here on a regular basis. Love the live music by local talent too, really sets the Hawaiian tone. They have live music every night which makes this a great place to go in the evenings for a poke bowl, beer, and music. It's definitely busy during the rush hours of breakfast and dinner, but it's busy because everyone loves this place. The service is great, the food comes out pretty quickly once you've ordered.

First time having a Loco Moco and I heard that this was the place to get it at, so I'm glad we got a good experience! Eggs were perfectly cooked and the entire combination of the beef and rice and eggs and pickled onions was really good together! Came with a nice macaroni salad and also some lettuce to get some veggies in, haha. Overall, there was quite a line here on a Sunday morning, so it's a good sign that this place has good food.

I stopped by here earlier today with my father for dinner. We had been in Hawaii for about a week…read moreand had not yet eaten much local food, so I fired up Yelp and found Kalei's. This restaurant is located in a shopping center in Pukalani. The inside has a place to order along with a cooler and a display case full of baked goods. There is seating throughout the rest of the space with five four tops and bar seating for about seven more. For dinner on this evening I decided to go with the loco moco while my dad went with the Big Kahuna. The menu described mine as three hamburger patties smothered with house made brown gravy and topped with two eggs, and my dad's as a combo plate of mochiko chicken, hamburger steak, and Asian crusted ono. After placing our order they quoted us 15 to 20 minutes, so we sat at an empty table and waited. It only took about 10 minutes before our food was ready and we sat down to eat. As soon as my dad opened his meal I have to admit that I was jealous as it looked great. Thankfully my meal was absolutely amazing. The brown gravy was legit with a ton of flavor and I could not stop eating it. The burger patties were hot and seasoned well. The mac salad was also really good. My only complaint would be that the rice was a little sticky and made it hard to get everything out of the container. I was also able to try some of my dad's mochiko chicken and the breading had great flavor while the chicken inside was moist and juicy. My dad enjoyed everything on his plate as well, especially the ono. The bottom line for me is that I would head back here again in the future. As a matter of fact, the next time my wife is on Maui with me this will be one of our first stops because that gravy was fantastic.

We ordered the crispy pork belly special and a breaded ono sandwich. My husband didn't care for the fish sandwich. He said the fish was bland and he didn't like the lettuce. After dissecting the sandwich, he ended up adding a little shoyu and thought it tasted better. The CPB was great. It comes with Mac salad, pickled onions, cherry tomatoes and a vinegar dipping sauce. I loved it. The only thing I'd change would be the size of the pieces of pork. Would be better if it was smaller (so it can fit in the sauce container). The portion was good for $19

Fresh off the plane, first stop in Maui is almost always Da Kitchen. We were worried it was lost forever a few years ago, but nope, they just moved down the road.

We shared the Kalbi Ribs, and we were starving, and we couldn't eat them all especially after diving into the veggie spring rolls and deep fried musubi.
