Five years ago I was so impressed that when I came back, I had it on my must eat list! I had intended to eat here much earlier during the trip, but the Kona storm had different plans. So it was again the meal right before going to the airport to go home and the gate was closed, but I saw people eating inside so I did what I would not do In DC, which is get out of the car and just ask if it was open. I wouldn't do that In DC because it's just a little scary here. And a nice people called out to Ola the chef and he opened the gate for us!! This time it felt extra special. It was like eating with a dear old friend and come to find out Ola was living in Columbia Heights just before the pandemic. (We are frequenters of Columbia heights!) We really felt spoiled and cared for here. He whipped up an amazing bed of salad for both of us. The greens here in Maui are just so fresh and the flavors are so good and of course we topped it with mahi mahi either grilled or taco style. He also gave us coconut water and a smoothie and fresh papaya which I told him I only eat on the island, which is true because it doesn't taste as good anywhere else that I know. What a way to end a trip with a flood and power outage in the middle of it. When troubles come later at home, which they will, I will think back fondly and give things for the experience we had here. And there was so much food that I was blessed to take the food on the airplane which served as my main meal (bc I can't eat any of the things that is on the plane sadly with my limitations. Delta loves to serve things with lots of cheese or dairy.) When it's not too windy, sitting outside under the tent is a lovely way to enjoy. I hope I can be back in less than five years to enjoy Ola's food at Ula Ula again. I don't know why they don't have more reviews but after we came in, was glad to see more people come in through. I really think so highly a food trucks in general in Maui, but this is definitely a top winner and a true gem!! read more

Such a wonderful spot to meet up with family and friends to have a meal. We were really impressed with the great hospitality shown by the owner. The free range chickens were definitely a conversation starter and were great entertainment. Being met by the gentleman with the parrots was very interesting as an introduction to the farm and cafe. The experience for a visitor or tourist was/is a great start to kick off a vacation. read more

Tried this spot after it was recommended to us by a local! We seemed to just beat the lunch rush (we came around 11:00am) because right after we sat down with our food, an onrush of tourists arrived and the line stretched into the parking lot. We tried the fish tacos, kahlua pork fried rice, and chicken katsu. We also wanted to give the acai a try but made the mistake of not ordering our first time around, and by the time we wanted it, the wait was too long. My favorite was the pork fried rice. It came with a generous protion of meat and egg, which complimented the sweet soy rice very nicely The katsu was also well done, although missed the fresh crunch I was hoping for. The mac salad was also a little al dente. The tacos were decent as well, but I'd probably pass up on these next time. Outdoor seating was spacious with hand sanitizer bottles provided at each table. There was also a small shop for tourists to purchase to-go items like banana bread and cookies read more

I would never before have thought about eating a hot dog with pineapple, onions, and sriracha aoli, but I did... and it wasn't too bad. We had just survived driving the "deadliest highway on Maui" Kahekili Highway (IYKYK), and we needed to stop, catch our breath, and grab a little something to eat. We saw the road signs and stopped here. It's a nice little spot just outside a macadamia nut orchard (where you can take a tour btw), and we settled down with a soda and a hot dog to collect ourselves. Service was very friendly, and they answered all our questions. The dog was a bit overcooked, but the fries were fresh and the toppings were interesting. I wish I would have been a little more hungry so we might have tried something else, but the hot dogs hit the spot before continuing on our way to the airport for our flight out. Come sit for a while. Enjoy the outdoors. Enjoy the food. read more

The food was delicious and was reasonably loves compared to every other restaurant establishment. Plus, its farm to table ingredients and everything was fresh and flavorful. We got the special (teriyaki chicken tacos) and the ulu smash (2 patty burger). The burger was so good and had a Lilokoi Dijon spread that was heavenly. The tacos were also fresh and delicious and the fries were perfectly crispy! read more

The tropical smoothie $11 was very good with strawberry, banana, papaya, pineapple, dragon fruit, blueberry. It was premade and very tasty and fresh and was filling. The mango nectar juice was $5 but it was not fresh squeezed from a mango. They have a dwarf coconut farm. Feral chickens abound who don't bug you. Outdoor seating and bathrooms. read more

Very nice service and location with a nice setup right on the farm. The food was very good and healthy options fresh from the farm are lovely as is the location. Service was nice too as they described all the choices before we ordered. I'd definitely recommend if in the area. Aloha read more

9/10 everything pretty solid, the employees are super sweet and nice! good vibes - loco moco 9.5/10: probably the best loco moco i've had, but i only had it once before lol. it wasn't too salty, came out nice and fresh. good flavor! - mahi tacos 7/10: there was only 1 tortilla so it ripped :( it was good, but nothing super special. - kahlua pork fried rice 9.5/10: fire. kinda greasy from the pork but that's what made it good! the rice was crispy in some areas and had great flavor. egg on it was good too. - chicken katsu 8.5/10: it was good but pretty standard... i thought the chicken lacked a bit of flavor and were smaller slices. wouldn't get again bc i liked the other things better! read more

Ula Ula is a good stop after the airport! The Mac nut crusted mahi mahi salad was quite good and gluten free! The pesto on the fish is really yummy. My dad got the Ula Ula burger and said it was okay! The piece of pineapple on it was good but meat was a bit overdone. The service was quick and friendly, and it was nice to sit outside after a long plane ride! read more

Picked up lunch yesterday on a weekday. I ordered the grilled Cajun Mahi Mahi and my husband ordered the loco moco. The fish plate was cooked to perfection. Flaky and seasoned well and topped with a mango papaya salsa with micro greens and served with green salad and steamed white rice. My husband's loco moco was delicious. Hamburger cooked medium, gravy was on point and eggs were over medium as requested. Good portions and everything was fresh and tasty. Will definitely come back for another visit. read more

Someone I know recently ate here and said the food was okay, but not as good as it used to be. They mentioned that it felt like the quality had gone downhill compared to when the restaurant first opened. They ordered the ula burgers and the kalua pig fried rice. The burger buns were burnt, and they said the burgers didn't have the same flavor they remembered from previous visits. They also mentioned that the fried rice was very mushy and had more of a porridge-like texture than what they'd expect from fried rice. Overall, they said the meal was decent, but it didn't live up to the experience they had in the past. read more

Amazing service and great coconut water! Atmosphere was incredible! Definitely a must stop.

We swung by this place on a whim with zero expectations. Picked up an order of mochiko chicken and a fresh papaya. The chicken was amazing, super crispy and tasty, loved the lilikoi dijon sauce but even without it the chicken was juicy and delish. Look forward to going back to try more dishes We brought the little papaya home and it was - according to mom, who is a discerning papaya-eater - wonderful. It was cool and shady at the outdoor picnic tables, and fun to see four big macaws getting out of one small sedan read more

This place is like a hidden. It's a nice area before heading to Waiehu Golf Course or heading to hike waihee ridge trail. The food tastes amazing! It's a small local business owner and there's about 4 workers only. So it will take a while to get your food. But while you're waiting, you can look around the farm and enjoy the views. read more

Our favorite place we ate on the island! Get the fish tacos!!! The best setting and the servers are the kindest

Loved this place! Service was friendly, juices were fresh, and the servings were big and delicious. I got the kimchi fried rice with kalua pork and it was outstanding. Perfect amount of tangy kimchi and crispy kalua pork. My sister had the chicken Katsu and raved about it, altho felt like the mac salad was mid. We finished a hike right before this and came ready to eat, but even if we weren't starving we would have been super happy stopping at this place. read more

We stopped here on way out of a strenuous hike at Waihe'e Ridge. Awesome local "food truck" with a few shaded picnic tables. You order at one window, buzzer for the cooked food items, and pick up of juices and acai bowl in a different shack. We tried the kimchi fried rice, onolicious loco moco, and acai bowl - all were delicious! Definitely check this out if you're in the area! read more

Really huge portions for their meals!

I think I'll be dreaming of this meal for a while. A burger is just that a burger, but this was out of this world. Maybe it was the post hike high, or the fresh pineapple. But man, I cleaned the plate. The burgers and sandwiches are served on taro buns, which I'd never had before. The burger has the freshest slice of pineapple, and a delectable sauce, with perfectly crispy fries. I also got a side of Mac salad because it's a must, and I really enjoyed that as well. This is another al fresco dining situation, but you're under tenting to provide shade. Beautiful views all around. This was an excellent post hike spot, and I wish we would have gone back to tour the plantation! read more

First time coming here. Was pleasantly surprised with the great food, great service, and great ambiance. The farm in the property supplies all fresh ingredients. Love the Kimchi fried rice and mahi mahi salad. Next time we'll try the Loco Moco and chicken katsu. Edda at the counter was so sweet and charming. Nice covered seating area . We came for lunch and the weather was so pleasant. Not too hot. We'll be back! Thanks for the recommendation Ryan read more

The menu is half of what it used to be. We came specifically for the kalua pork and papaya smoothie, but neither is offered anymore. When we arrived, we were the first in line and saw several workers, yet no one acknowledged us for about five minutes, so we decided to leave. The couple behind us also left without ordering. Most of the tables were empty. read more

Stopped by after our hike. My husband had the Loco Moco and I had the mahi mahi fish tacos. Both were delicious and flavorful. We also got a banana loaf which was also delicious. They were busy and since everything is freshly made it took a bit but it was well worth it. It was beautiful out so the picnic tables were great. Some local kids stopped by and were playing on their ukulele which was an added touch. 10/10 highly recommend. read more

I'd give this place 10 stars if I could. We stopped here for lunch after hiking the Waihee ridge trail. We had the Cajun Mahi and Pork loco moco, espresso milkshakes and also bought some banana bread and macadamia nuts to take back with us. Everything was great and clear that they take a lot of pride in their farm. Service was top notch, very helpful and hospitable. We joked that we got better service here than the high end hotel we are staying at. There's a covered seating area and it makes the perfect place to stop for a meal. Can't recommend this place enough & we will be back. read more

Came here after we went on a nice two hour hike!! It was hot hot hot so i just chose a smoothie and the bf got the Loco Moco. Should of taken a picture of his food but he scarfed it down too fast lol he said it was delicious and it reminded him of his grandma who use to make it for him. I loved my smoothie! It was made with fresh seasonal fruit and it did not disappoint. The staff was sweet and it was just us that we're eating there which was nice. read more
