Similar to another review on here, we also booked our stay through/with Costco, which included a $60 breakfast credit per day. We spent every breakfast during the week at Ulu Kitchen since it was on property, wait times weren't too long (or bad at all), food was great, and they had good service. We were always seated outside and the ambiance was perfect! They had a great variety of breakfast items on their menu and I never re-ordered the same meal during our trip! I was a BIG fan of the Monkeypod Mai Tai Flapjacks (with the lilikoi foam!), the Organic Blueberry and Lilikoi Flapjacks, and the Greek Yogurt Bowl (super fresh fruit with great variety)! I would like to shout out our waiter Maz for his amazing hospitality and service! Not only was he very kind, he gave great recommendations to our table and each one was a hit. Mahalo, Maz! read more

We had such a wonderful experience at Ulu Kitchen during our week-long stay at the Westin Maui in July! We booked our stay through Costco, which included a $60 daily breakfast credit, and Ulu Kitchen quickly became one of our favorite parts of the trip. The restaurant itself is beautiful, with incredible ocean views that make breakfast feel extra special. The food was excellent, and everything we ordered was fresh, delicious, and beautifully presented. Our favorite was the blueberry and lilikoi flapjacks and the classic breakfast. The staff were also incredibly friendly and welcoming, which made the experience even better. The combination of the gorgeous setting, delicious food, and wonderful service made Ulu Kitchen a highlight of our stay. We would absolutely recommend it and will definitely be back the next time we're in Maui! read more

My wife and I decided to try Ulu Kitchen as we noticed it was another (and the only) Ulu on the island. We have been to many or his other restaurants and love them so thought we would give it a try. It was located right by the beach and the island vibe was prevalent! I was not that hungry but we ordered some gyoza for an appetizer which was delicious and my wife ordered a burger and since I was not that hungry, I thought I would go straight for desert! I ordered their ice cream sandwich-thinking it would be a small cool desert for the island evening. However, I was pleasantly surprised-it was extra large! Feel free to refer to my picture in the review but it was delicious, one of the best I have ever had! My wife enjoyed the burger as well. Service was fantastic! We think we found another great spot to dine at in Maui! read more

We were seeking a dinner spot with a view one night in our trip to Maui and Ulu Kitchen surprisingly had same day reservations available. We snagged a 6:15pm in September and had the most insane view of the sunsetting over the ocean. By some crazy chance, we were seated at a table closest to the ocean. It was such a beautiful meal. Our server rocked- she was super attentive and friendly. Everything we ate was delicious- the crab cakes were very fresh, my scallops were incredible, and the macadamia nut crusted mahi mahi my husband ordered was delicious. We ended up splitting everything. They have a great cocktail menu as well. I enjoyed the After Midnight. read more

We came for dinner, and the service was fantastic. The monkeypod mai tai was delicious, and we also highly recommend the ahi sashimi (super fresh and paired perfectly with their ponzu soy sauce) and surf and turf (we like our steak on the rarer side and thought it was perfectly cooked). Our only thing was that we felt like the food was a bit expensive for the portion sizes and quality (although this is not uncommon for all the Merriman restaurants). read more

Very popular, cute spot with incredible views right on the Kaanapali boardwalk. The restaurant is accessible through the pedestrian path or through the Westin. If you make reservations but are not staying at the hotel, you can have the restaurant validate your valet parking ($40). Our server, Brian, was very friendly and offered his recommendations. Overall the food was good, but there were definitely some oversalting issues. It seemed like the different components of the dish were seasoned but not tasted as a whole - leading to salt being slightly overpowering. Pricing is expected for the location. They have live music right next door and there's plenty of walking/shopping opportunities for post meal. read more

I would technically give this place 4.5 stars if that was an option! The surf & turf duo was spectacular - filet was cooked perfectly and flavor for the entire dish was phenomenal - mashed potatoes and green beans seasoned well. Apps were not anything crazy or unique which is why I would give it 4.5. Drinks were good, ambiance and view was superb. This is located at the Westin resort, you can get parking for free validating your ticket at the front desk. Our server did a great job as well. read more

Ulu Kitchen - Coconut shrimp and pork potstickers appetizers - Hawaiian Near Me - Lahaina, Hawaii

We came here every day for breakfast, since it was literally 1 minute away. 3 times for breakfast and 1 time for happy hour. During breakfast, they open at 7, and there's a short line. For breakfast, I got the Pete's Benedict and The Cure twice. Pete's Benedict was good, rich hollandaise sauce but couldn't eat it more than 1 day. The Cure is their version of ramen noodles with an Hawaiian twist, they put Kailua pork for the protein, along with an fried egg, and a bunch of veggies - carrots, bok choy, mushrooms, bean sprouts and onions. It was salty, but really good for a night of drinking. It's literally called the cure because it cures hangovers. lol. It was delicious. My husband got the blueberry and lilikoi pancakes one day, it was really good, very Hawaiian. And the kids menu was eggs, bacon and 3 fried potatoes. My toddler enjoyed it every day. They don't serve drinks until 8am, due to state laws. For HH we got the famous mai tai with lilikoi foam, they didn't do it well here. It was too much lemon, felt like you were drinking only lemon juice with some rum, but the lilikoi foam was consistent and good. Skip the mai tai and go to MonkeyPod, bartenders are more experienced there. Overall, we enjoyed breakfast here everyday. read more

We visited here for the Monkeypod Mai Tai and some appetizers. The Mai Tai did not disappoint, the appetizers were ok. The prices here are a bit steep for what you get. Service was great! read more

let me start off by saying we got here at 9:30 which is allegedly happy hour so that was a bonus point we were able to sit outside on the patio overlooking the water such an amazing beautiful view. I originally ordered the bloody Mary the kimchi bloody Mary was tasty, but very overpowering with black pepper. I wish it would've had less because I would've loved it. I think the kimchi is a great addition to this drink it's nice to know that they're happy hour is from 8 AM to 11 AM four dollars off all signature drinks who doesn't want to be drinking by 8 AM in the paradise Island . I wasn't sure what we wanted to eat the menu seemed very basic. I ordered the basic classic breakfast, which was basically nothing short of amazing savory flavors in the homemade sausage over medium egg for the first time in my life exactly the way it sounds prepared with a cooked white and a juicy bubble. They're smashed potatoes where anything short of flavor every bite of this was amazing. We ordered one basic pancake every bite of that was fluffy and flavorful with the right amount of toasted slightly crispy but full of flavor my wife ordered the magic dance was very favorable. The service was great from my waitress. I'm only giving this place four stars because of the over induced overload of pepper in the bloody Mary and I ordered the signature coffee martini. I went up to the bartender to ask her if it was possible to sub out the black liquor 45 with Bailey's, she seemed very hesitant reluctant and was not really being kind after I killed her with kindness and assured her if she couldn't do, it would be no worries she went ahead and decided to make it. Let me just tell you with the modification. This was amazing. The Bailey's gave the perfect cream. It was accompanied with rum coconut also coffee. I would definitely come back here again and do a full stack of pancakes not one single one only . you cannot go wrong. I'm sure if what we ordered was phenomenal Everything else on their menu must be amazing. read more

I'll be honest, I wasn't sure what to expect. The reviews vary so greatly but glad we stopped by. Special sounded so good that we all got it and it did not disappoint. Everything was fresh, flavorful and delicious from the salad and veggies to the fish to the ravioli. I can't believe I'm saying this but I think the ravioli was the best part of a very scrumptious plate. Reservation was at 6:15pm on Tuesday. We arrived a little early and were seated. Our table was the perfect spot, closest to the ocean. Great for catching the sunset and people watching. Parked in their lot which was quick and easy. I will definitely be back. Would love to see this special get a permanent spot on the menu. It was so good! read more

The food was excellent! Wendy was our server and she was great. Answered all our questions and had some great suggestions. We were there for breakfast and I had the Hawaiian Chilaquiles. So flavorful and filling! My wife had the classic breakfast with sausage and a side Monkeypod Mai tai flapjack. Pancakes are huge and you get 2. We noticed that most people were only eating one so Wendy suggested a side pancake. It was perfect. Make sure you get the lillikoi froth added at your table! read more

Amazing breakfast! Getting up early and coming here was definitely worth it! This is an outside restaurant and the view of the water is amazing! Our waiter was very nice and made sure we had everything we needed. The food was very good. I was a little skeptical but my eggs were cooked perfectly along with my potatoes, I will say my bacon was a little too crunchy for my liking but it was still very good. I had a virgin Mai Thai and it was very good too! Very tropical tasting! Very fresh! read more

While we were walking the Kaanapali Beach walkway we noticed a great dining area offering an awesome vibe and said we will have to come back here. So today we walked over to check out the Ulu Kitchen located in the Westin Maui. Short walk from the Marriott Maui Ocean Club down the pathway. Sat on the deck overlooking the beach and took in the ocean breezes. Staff were very attentive and quick to get us settled in to our table. Our server Brandon happily took our drink order bringing back some amazingly cocktails. The Mai Tai had a decadent foam on top unlike your normal Mai Tai that truly made the cocktail unique. Brandon took our order and we took in the beautiful Kaanapali coast and people watched, our food came and we started with a Tako (octopus) prepared in an escargot style served with house made focaccia bread. Great way to start and the sauce full of garlic and butter. The salad was great with the option of chicken or local fish and I took the fish. The smash burger was da bomb! Great quality beef on A soft brioche bun, the French fries had a unique flavor twist prepared with a little rosemary, very good. Loved the feel of the room (if you call it that-solid roof flowing onto lattice and then palapa style umbrellas and completely open on 3 sides. Great music in the background with the ocean views ocean breezes superb cocktails and delizioso food. This was our "Linner" late lunch and early dinner. Bravissimo Ulu Kitchen not only will we be coming back and staying at the Westin we will be coming back to your cucina to dine again. Mahalo Nui Loa. Ciao read more

Ka'anapali beach has a cute little boardwalk along the resorts in the area. This is considered the South side and is Mauis busiest area according to the net. Knowing this, I booked our hotel near this location. On search for food off of our resort we made our way to Whalers Village, oddly enough many of the restaurants were closed or didn't appear to be open. We walked a little further down the boardwalk and there was Ulu Kitchen! Ambiance is everything a restaurant overlooking the ocean should be! Very nice menu! We came here twice because of hours of operation and because the first time was really good! Let's get into it! Avocado Toast - I added a medium well egg and they made it perfect! Avocado was whole and I love that! Perfectly made! Crab Cake Benedict- Delicious We came here twice, that is telling! Shout out to Karen! You're the best! read more

Husband got a burger and said it was 8/10. I got coconut shrimp and it was good. I also got the pork pot stickers and they were good but the ginger was overpowering making my mouth kind of burn- so be aware. The famous Mai Thai: I'm so sad but I did not like it and sent it back. Ice cream sandwich was great. I ordered a lavender drink and that one was good! I think this restaurant is worth it for the views but over priced and over hyped for sure. I would not return. Our server was nice. I think there are better options around here I just haven't found them yet. read more

Mixed review for this place. Service was great, the location and outside eating excellent. The food - mixed. I had the poke bowl, which was excellent although for the price was a little small. I also feel if you run a classy joint you don't serve the sauce in a plastic cup. We had the Szechuan beans - so very salty, too much salt for sure. Fries - not hot when they arrived Creamed corn - a highlight for sure Vegetable pop pie, huge but served with white rice which appeared very odd. Many better places for the price I felt. read more

Just a short boardwalk trot away from our resort, Ulu Kitchen is one of the restaurants located at the Westin. Definitely a casual setting with the option of dining indoors or on the patio, Ulu Kitchen is a nice dining choice when perusing the boardwalk. Open for breakfast, lunch and dinner, we only had a chance to eat breakfast, but it was so good, we decided to do it twice. She said her avocado toast was the best she's ever had and my crab-cake Benedict was excellent. I wouldn't say it's the best that I've had but excellent just the same..LOL! Service was impeccable on both visits, however, Karen during our first visit was awesome! She gave us to go drinks, which was definitely a nice touch. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone who's staying at any of the resorts sharing the boardwalk, or even the shoppers at Whaler's Village. You'll get great tasting food and excellent service to match! read more

Amazing view of kaanapali beach during sunset. Easy to make reservations ( a big plus). 3 hour of complimentary valet parking at Westin. Service is attentive and relax. Live music in Hale mo olelo. Ulu is breadfruit so we ordered the breadfruit potpie and special fresh caught of the day Mon Chong fish Nallely is our nice server that recommended the special of the day. That came with tahini beurre blanc sauce, lobster salad and eggplant potstickers. Very good and new concept. Breadfruit potpie is hot and has this coconut milk yellow curry , bread fruits in puff pastry crust with garlic scallion jasmine rice on the side. Good portion and tasty. One page of food and three pages of wines on the menu sorry I'm driving tonite so just a Kona light blond. Good experience. Recommended. read more

We stayed at the Westin for 4 days and had voucher at the ulu kitchen for breakfast overlooking the ocean. The views are unbeatable and staff if also very good. They have a fairly small menu and all the items were amazing. We tried switching between a lot of items just to see if we could try the most. They have only 2 sweet options for pancakes and both are great with the blueberry lillikoi butter being my favorite that I ordered them almost every time we dined there. Menu is a bit pricey and most of our orders were almost 75$-100$ each visit. Coffee being very steeply priced for 8$ in a place that has Starbucks as well right next door. If in the area, I will definitely come here again, there is no item on the menu that you can go wrong with. Also all their sauces and jams are house made so while I absolutely loved their lillikoi butter i couldn't buy that one and I feel so bummed :( read more

Had a great experience at Ulu Kitchen in Maui! We ordered the veggie pot pie and butternut squash quesadillas, and both were amazing. The pot pie stood out -- the puff pastry on top was crisp, fluffy, and perfectly golden, and the flavors hit the spot. For drinks, we tried the Blind Hibiscus, which was refreshing and slightly sweet, along with the Smoke Show and Lilikoi Whiskey Sour -- all delicious and well-balanced. Overall, everything was excellent -- great food, creative cocktails, and a relaxed Maui vibe. Definitely recommend! read more

Stopped here for breakfast one morning- we were not staying at this hotel. We were told a 45 minute wait which wouldn't work and so I started to walk away. My husband piped up asking about seating at the bar and told it was sine. Would have been nice if the stewardess had told me that! The menu is limited, and it is expensive, and the portions are small. My omelet was good its local ingredients- but small. The side of fruit was good, but small. The best thing we got was the Monkeypod pancakes. They were to die for, sweet and tangy just like the Mai tais at Monkey pod. Highly recommend. read more

It's Westin, it's beachside, so pricy food accepted. But wow, let's at least keep the health and quality standards up for the price. Food server brought our food dishes out stacked on top of each other. The pancakes were underneath another dish. The pancake was left with a round plate mark and all the lilikoi foam smeared all over the bottom of the top plate. The server was also holding the pancake plate with his thumb in the pancake itself and all the whipped lilikoi foam and syrup. So gross and disgusting. No thought on the server side to realize "My dirty thumb was in your pancake and syrup. Let me bring you a new one." I did not send it back for fear of the food getting tampered with by the server even more. Hope we don't end up getting sick. Hard pass on this place. Besides the dirty grossness, the food was mediocre and portions were small. As choices are limited in the resort area, the crowds will continue despite the poor quality. read more

I LOVED this restaurant a year ago. It has apparently fallen on hard times. I arrived alone, chose to sit inside. Immediately smelled weed. Ordered champagne which was not very cold or fizzy. And it was pricey. I found it very hard to get the attention of my server. I found it very difficult to even find my server. (Management issue?). I would liked to have ordered wine WITH dinner. Not shortly after my food arrived (and then it had to be opened). I had planned to come here every night this week bc I loved it so much last year. Instead, one and done. I felt not only not valued but dismissed. read more

Great ocean view, fine dining experience, staff full of aloha and food was farm to table and delicious. We enjoyed the filet mignon with lobster ravioli. Our friends had the veggie pot pie but wished it had protein. They also ordered the smashed cucumber salad and the macadamia nut fresh fish. The fresh raviolis melted in your mouth and paired delightfully with the med rare steak. We topped it off with a glass of Obsidian cab which was beyond perfect. The ocean view from our table was the best. You must take your date, friend's and family because they offer Kama'aina rate on food. We will be back soon! read more

A must go to restaurant for breakfast! Great staff & service was excellent! Nice views of the ocean. Although the weather was cold & windy @ times, the ocean view was pretty spectacular. There was an incident when we were waiting for a table, there was a party ahead of us. Her 5yr old son was being a "brat". The way he talked to the hostess was absolutely unacceptable. Mom didn't correct his behavior but instead sort of brushed it off. The hostess was so patient; I mean what can she do. The customers are always right, right?! I don't think so. As a parent, to raise a kid & be ok to talk to ppl like that, is UNACCEPTABLE! Growing up feeling privileged; makes them disgusting! Other than that read more
