    Probably the best burger I've ever had in my life. Everyone was very friendly. The food was fantastic.

    Coconut water was refreshing!!

    Lovely place! Coconut farm is gorgeous! Delicious food! Everyone was welcoming! Great customer service!! !

    Hey, solid tacos after a long day of hitting all the trails on the West side of Maui. Give them a stop and get the fish tacos and the carne asada tacos. Not fast, but hits the spot and nice outdoor seating.

    Coconut Shrimp!

    Best food on the island! Definitely a must try if you're visiting. The owner is super welcoming and hospitable too (:

    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

    Ulu smash burger
    Randee L.

    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!

    Hawaiian Hot Dog
    Alora M.

    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.

    New menu!!! Ginger chicken salad still my favorite!!

    Ginger chicken salad amazing!! Ulu smash so ono Pork loco moco super tasty!Sunday for dessert!! So full but ready to come back and try all the new items!!

    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.

    Macadamia nut crusted fish salad and flour something chicken.

    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

    kahlua pork fried rice mahi tacos chicken katsu
    Nicole L.

    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!

    Mac nut crusted mahi mahi salad (gluten free)
    Delilah W.

    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!

    Plumeria as ambiance near the picnic tables
    Caroline B.

    Pricey but worth it for fresh, delicious and nutritious goodness from the working farm. Great place to stop and grab a quick and refreshing snack before or after golf at Waiehu.

I like the new location definitely easier for people to get to as the last location was upstairs with no elevator. One thing that has not changed is the food is still just as good if not even better than before. On this trip we had the Lunch Special which was the Waygu loco moco that came with white rice and Mac salad and two eggs over easy. The Wagyu burgers were perfect not over seasoned and the eggs were perfectly cooked. Still runny on the inside. I had the mis fish which was an ahi today. I liked the fact that the Miso was not overwhelming they got them mix perfect and the broccoli was perfectly cooked and it came with a scoop of white rice. Everything was perfectly done and just the right amount of food. The price is still reasonable for the quality of the food you are getting and the service was great even though there was only one waitress and she was doing double duty as hostess. She was very pleasant and the service is some of the best I have had on Maui. I like how the new place has a nice local feel while having that new but welcoming aura. I will definitely be going back because I like to support local and these guys are making some great food for reasonable prices. I definitely recommend these guys and I will definitely be going back. So much more menu items to try.

Service was great - very friendly staff and efficient. Dishes: 1) Pohole fern and spring mix salad 5/5 - comes with a balsamic vinaigrette. I loved it! Might not be for everyone but the dressing was on point and it had some fund ingredients. 2) Lobster dynamite 4/5 - these are baked rolls which were super tasty. I just wish they hadn't put so much of the cream sauce on top. 3) Korean chicken and tutu karen okra's dry mein 5/5 - the chicken was on point and the noodles are (as listed) a bit on the drier side but it all goes well together. I would definitely go back and try the other dishes + their lunch menu!

It was a short 5 min hop over from the airport to Da Tambayan Corner and parking in the adjacent lot was easy. All the food trucks are ringed around the central tables and look for the aquamarine Da Soriano truck over by the road. Their food style is Filipino with a Hawaiian twist if you hadn't discerned it from their name. They have a build-your-own-combo grindz menu that you can pick a couple of proteins with rice options or check out the picture menu if you really don't know what to get. My wife went for the combo of Pork Adobo & Garlic Butter Shrimp with Mac & Green Salad, both very flavorful choices. Her friend went double pork action with Chinese Roast Pork Belly & Calamansi Grilled Pork Belly and Pancit Bihon Noodles as her side. The Chinese roast pork belly was as crispy good as any I've seen in any Chinatown. My Seafood Trio had a Miso Glazed Salmon Fillet, 3 Baked Mussels, 2 Shrimp Tempura and topped with Kaboyaki sauce & Thai Chili Aioli. The Shrimp were not the typical panko coated but battered and tasted good drizzled with the 2 sauces. The mussels are topped with a heavy cheesy mayo sauce and baked. Of course, it wouldn't be a Hawaiian plate lunch without a scoop of white rice and a scoop of mac salad. All this wasn't enough and our friend went back to chat with the chef and came back with a double serving of banana lumpia in crunchy spring roll wrap and drenched in heavy syrup. This was an excellent dessert and wrap up to a great lunch. We were so stuffed, we had to skip dinner!

    BEST FILIPINO FOOD ON THE ISLAND!…read more During my 1 week stay at Maui I probably came here about 5 times. I went here right after getting off the airport to get some quick comfort food before checking in to my stay in Kīhei and Tagpuan happened to be on the way. I ordered the chicken Inasal and pork lumpia and from those two simple dishes I could tell that this place was legit. IMO that inasal's definitely better than Mang Inasal back in PI and much better than the Inasal I've had in the Bay Area so hopefully that hypes it up enough. Kept coming back almost every single day till I left to go back to the mainland. In that time I also had the grilled liempo (pork belly), crispy pork belly, and longanisa sliders - all excellent dishes. Really love the sauce selections they use for their dishes too - pretty good balance of acid to cut the fat making the dishes feel not too heavy. The food truck is currently nestled in what seems to be an auto shop lot. There's a nice clean bathroom access via the auto shop near the food truck itself. Lots of parking, a few benches to eat at, and of course, really good food. The couple that run Tagpuan are incredibly kind and hard working people. Would highly recommend - not only to support a local business owner (who's from Lāhainā) but because they serve genuinely good and authentic Filipino food.

This food truck is inside a small lot with gravel around a couple benches and chairs. It's across from car wash so you'll hear their loud air drying machines but after awhile it's just background noise and doesn't bother us. Plus they play some nice music on a small speaker at the truck. We ordered the Ahi Poke Nachos and this dethroned our previous favorite from another spot down the road. It is a bit spicy so just be aware. So worth it. Lots of flavor and plenty poke to chip ratio. We also ordered the chicken Inasal since our kid would eat it. She's picky but ate plenty chicken. It has a very nice charred smoky flavor and still super tender and moist. We need to try the other items for sure so we will 100% be back. We got to meet the owners Rocky and Maine? They were super nice and took the time to explain that their name Tagpuan means "meeting place" for those who are not Filipino.
