We were there on 25 Apr 2026 after a long visit at Kualoa Ranch. One of our drivers recommended crouching tiger to us. Glad he did. Views from our main dining were of the ocean was fantastic. Drinks were perfect too. Overall, it's a "Don't Miss" for all Kailua Coast visitors. Thank you CROUCHING TIGER. Loved the entire restaurant and bar. Clean bathrooms. Yay. We will all return. We had a table of 7, with 2 children. Everyone loved it. Alyssa was perfect with everyone. Great waitress. Keep her if you can.

Im not usually fond of burgers but wife has wanted a burger since maybe Sonic's opened but we…read moreweren't ready to commit to going since the wait was likely still long for Sonic's. Also, did I really want a Sonic burger? The answer was an easy no. Did a quick search and found this place which I had no idea existed but now I know they exist in an excellent way. People come here to drink, I'm not a drinker but there was plentynof alcoholic beverages on the back wall for your choice that it could be overwhelming. This is a bar with indoor seating and a World Cup game was on. I think there was outdoor seating but it looked like a different restaurant to me. We ordered dirty fries, a sweet tea, the simple smash, village smash, and sweet tea. I have to admit, I'm overly harsh on burgers but from the first bite, this hit right to me. The dirty fries were good also. We washed down that salt with their mildly sweet sweet tea. That's the only miss for me as I like deep sweet tea thanks to some time spent in Mississippi earlier in life. Their food put themselves on my radar so we will definitely be back as we didn't even scratch the other meats they had on menu.

My buddy and I stopped by here specifically to get their smash burgers, but unfortunately, the…read moregriddle was down, so no entrée items on the right side of the menu (sandwiches, burgers, sausages) were available. Our server informed us that it had been off and on for the past week, but went down since Friday. Not good for only being open for a year. They only had appetizers and salads, along with their bar, which offers a wide range of beers and wine by the glass, along with cocktails. Since we were technically "working", that had to wait for another time. Our server, Erin, was so nice and apologetic, even tho it wasn't her fault. For obvious reasons it was fairly slow, for a normal Sunday lunch crowd. Since we were pressed for time, we ended up just ordering a couple of appetizers; the sausage bites and chicken. They were both tempura style battered, and served with sauce or mustard on the side. The sausage had a slight spice to it, which was nice, and it was served piping hot pot of the fryer. A fork would've been nice, but they were small enough to eat by hand, but be careful, because they're pretty tough to bite thru. The chicken bites were smaller and easier to handle, although they were a bit dry, so the ranch furikake dipping sauce helped. We were out within 20 minutes, so very fast, and I'm hoping the griddle gets repaired soon, so I can try their burgers.

I got the garlic shrimp and was expecting a food truck style entree. Wow was I wrong in a very good way. Huge prawns came on a plate with a bed of rice slathered in garlic and butter. They brought a bunch of napkins and even latex gloves for me to dive into this dish. There is a restroom close so washing up isn't a problem. Dig in I went. I didn't make eye contact with the rest of our group till done. I was in garlic shrimp heaven. Best meal of the week in Maui.

It's located in Haiku, a beautiful area in the middle of nothing. With a grocery story right next to it housing their own products, you could even skip the taproom altogether.

Ravenous and throat parched, the pictures for The Temple drew us in. Restaurant was empty save a family of 6 sitting in the corner. To summarize the experience the food tasted as delicious as it looked. Service was spot on. Skip the barbecue chicken tacos they were overrated. Our server warned against it but we were feeling chicken. It was a mid dish. The star of the show was the Calabrese Flatbread. It was phenomenal. Really tasty, ample cheese, marinara sauce, with large chunks of sausage that were so flavorful. The potatoes we got were supposed to be island potatoes and tasted okay with lots of Chimmichuri Sauce. Ask for more on the side to dip the potatoes in. Kona beer on tap, Michelob in bottles, and some nice house drinks to round it off. Their dessert selection looked tasty, but so full that stomach was hurting after the meal. Will be back again if I'm in the area!

Also has great cocktails (very good margaritas). Food: I had the pretzel and chicken sandwich. The pretzel was large and very good.

Dog friendly: even has a couple of food options on their menu (picture included) I would definitely come back again with friends and family.
