I really appreciate the respect you have for the spirit of Hawaii. Many travel vloggers laugh off their ignorance when butchering the names of places but you take great care to pronounce things correctly. I also like the consideration for supporting local island business over commercial or off-island chains. And the historical factoids you work into the narrative. It is obvious you put a good amount of thought into what you produce.

[@socalsumu3345]

Sam Sato’s and Tin Roof, Homemaid Bakery, Tasty Crust

Yes! Mix that Yolk ❤😇

[@vickiherrman7623]

I know that it is quite extravagant and highly expensive. Have only eaten there with gift certificates. Mama's Fish House is an experience not to be forgotten. Must be a very special night. Fish is prepared perfectly and desserts are pieces of art. So worth it! Just outside of Paia town, beautiful sunset oceanfront. Worth a try at least once!

[@jennydannyp7229]

Awesome Video ! My moms from Lanai ! I’ll be heading to Maui and Lanai for 10 days! Thanks Mahalo!

[@nicoleblokzyl9441]

Just got back yesterday from Maui! Some of my fav places were: Tin Roof, Maui brewing, Dukes, Monkeypod, Mamas Fish House, Coconuts, Pa'ia Fish Market, Castaways, Sea Cliff, and food trucks : Like Poke and Braddah Hutts BBQ Grill (on the road to Hana)

[@ucechapo6554]

That road to Hana is something isn't it?

[@bjbhehir]

Should've went to Merrimans!!

[@shawnaokami-rosehill8123]

Thank you so much for your video, often times we see videos made in the Hawaiian islands and many of times over the influencer uses terms like “traditional Hawaiian dishes“, “native Hawaiian food“ and often times the Japanese or Chinese or Filipino foods. Your video was well done and I thank you for visiting the Hawaiian islands specifically Maui and sharing your experience in such a Positive way

[@Hoakaloa]

Star Noodle in Lahaina, bentos at TJ's warehouse in Wailuku

[@urankjj]

I was fortunate enough to have lived and worked on Maui back in the 90's. I will never forget many of the foods that you are tasting in this video. But I miss more the friendliness of the Maui people and their Ohana that they shared with me. Thanks for the video and the memories, and may you always get 2 scoops rice. . Aloha.....

[@Fantabuliciouscake]

Thank so much for all these recommendations. I’ll be in the island in April 🤗🌺

[@lifewiththeidios9741]

We will be in Maui this week!! Thank you for this video

[@sharpcookie05]

Thanks for the descriptive, helpful info! My husband & daughter are visiting right now it was fun to share this with them.

[@makanayepis3444]

i’m happy to see you’re enjoying the local restaurants we have here, and we have many!!! along with also paying mind to be respectful as well which doesn’t happen often sadly... thanks for sharing!

[@evanfincher5297]

Thanks for posting this video. Will definitely try some of these places when we travel to Maui later this summer. It's always been our goal when visiting Hawaii to avoid touristy restaurants and support a small business instead. It's important to teach our kids not to be afraid of new experiences and embrace the local flavor.

[@longuyen1923]

Going to Maui soon for the first time and your video helped me plan my days! Love your recommendations. I'm a foodie, always down to try the best on the menu.

[@mauimarcus]

Nice vid! Good cross section of what we have here. I would add Nuka in Ha'iku, Honokawai Okazuya, Sale Pepe and Star Noodle in Lahaina. And lots more !

[@charlottehigginsiati1190]

You are really charismatic and fun to listen to! I love your videos!!!

[@allenedwards2940]

Wow! You hit most of the places that we regularly hit when we go. Going back in a couple of months, I'll have to hit the few on the lists that I didn't know about until this video. Thanks!

[@caseythornton7153]

Thank you for mentioning Leoda’s! My favorite spot on island, their whole menu is 🔥🤙🏼

[@devincruz26]

Leoda's was my favorite part of my trip last year! Their banana cream pie is something of a dream!!

[@Wimplo86]

Brah, thank you for this video. I was born and raised on Maui and now living overseas and it’s great to see videos that reminds me of home!

[@Malitubee]

The food looks so good OMG!!!

[@VisitLiveLoveMaui]

This video makes me hungry! lol! Great job. I agree with your recommendations. Mahalo for sharing. (P.S. I find it funny that you smell the food before you eat it. I do that a lot too - lol!)

[@strobeable]

very informative, i trust this!!

[@joshadams8761]

Great video! The one restaurant I would add is Fleetwood’s in Lahaina. A Scottish bagpiper plays on the roof at sunset.

[@kilohokuakahi7613]

Other family owned local restaurants in Maui to support and is super yummy coming from a fellow resident on Maui born and raised. Cafe o lei at the Mill house, cafe o lei at the dunes, miyako sushi, Tokyo Tei, hamburger steak house, bamboo grill, Kula bistro, tamuras poke, food trucks across from Costco (like poke, moono (açaí bowls), kaleis food truck.) And jazzys Mexican food truck in makena.

[@TwirlGuy]

All my favorites plus some new one to check out . Mahalo

Glad you had a good trip. Aloha 🤙

Extremely helpful video. My wife and I just got back from Maui and your video was definitely a gem.

[@johnkrol8557]

Thank you so much for your video. We tried many of your recommendations and they were all fantastic! Leoda’s, Kimos and Paia Fish Market were all so good! The shave ice from Ululani’s was a great treat.

Glad you enjoyed it! 🤙🏝

Thank you for this video😍😍couldn’t do that much last time(2019) in Maui, but this year I’m going all in!!!! (Food, food, food) hahaha

[@SaabAholic]

I just got back from Maui and I ate at some of those places. Drove past every one of them. Don’t forget the South Maui Fish Co. Food cart in Kihei.

[@billhamre3974]

The Kula Lodge, the Plantation, and a little place behind the Safeway in Lahaina right on the beach. Also the Five Palms.

[@garygardiner3719]

Thank You for making this video! I’ve never felt like trying a Reuben sandwich before, since none of the ingredients by themselves really appeal to me that much, except for maybe Swiss cheese. But, after I saw your expressions while eating one from Leoda’s on this video, I had to try it. I went to Leoda’s on Maui last week and ate one. It was really good - Mahalo!

[@jeannielavea9647]

I live on Maui and I've passed all those restaurants. I will definitely stop and try some at least the ones near my home in Kihei. Thank you

[@Oilofmercy]

Thinking of moving to maui. Going to check out your other video's.

[@swimmingviolinist]

I was halfway through this video when I heard you mention you were from Maryland! I am too!! Great job on this video, I am visiting in November!

[@mad_slice]

Island Fresh Cafe is a hidden gem in Paia! Kihei cafe is also a favorite of mine

[@95128mike]

Yeah.... you should add Tin Roof. You nailed it with Foodland Poke.

[@brendamolina8708]

Glad you enjoy the local foods and for supporting the local businesses. You should try Jack’s Inn, Sam Sato’s, Komoda Bakery, and Tasaka Guri Guri. You make me really miss my island Maui! Aloha!

[@maelakay7897]

You're comment helped me a ton to plan my trip to Maui, these are the kind of local digs I was really looking forward too, the video also helped!! I'm most excited for komoda bakery, thank you for sharing these places along with the video!

[@paigeherrin29]

I love leoda’s!!! The best aioli fries ever!

yes, all his recommendations are great! I live here and I agree with his choice. there are many other choices, many expensive one, this list is a great starter list and all prices are affordable (considering Maui prices :) )

[@JohnandCaraRetiredTravellers]

@Halie Bakes we were in Maui last month. Highly recommend Hawaiian discount car rental site. Found it through another KZbinr we saved so much $$! I have no affiliation with them just a great tip. Maui is magical you’ll love it!!

[@jesselorenzo3890]

Nice video next time you should try Down the hatch by front street.. and of course tinroof by Kahului, ! Mahalos for visiting our island ! Aloha

What an amazing video! I'm just booking a trip to oahu for june and def gonna visit these places. Also love your smile u look so happy when u eat haha very cute!

[@Active_Tours]

Haha 🙏 🙂 I love food. Hope you have an amazing trip

[@philvie]

What, no Star Noodle? You crazy bugga.

[@tedcormier1736]

Great video. The only place I've been to is the Paia Fish Market. I was at the Kuhio Ave location on Honolulu last year, and their home fried potatoes are amazing and their fish as well...I went there 4 times on a 2 week trip and every meal was amazing.

[@meganngeorge]

You went to some great spots! We love Leoda’s ( always packed with people, every time we’ve been there ), Maui Brewing, and Kimo’s! ❤️ ( we’ve never had to make a reservation at Kimo’s, and I’m surprised there were so many people there, especially now. ). PS, Loco Moco is EVERYTHING.🙌🏻🤙❤️

[@louiecastillo1863]

Tried the paia fish market, OMG the food was amazing went with the mahi-mahi blackened with Cajun rice sooooo good thank you for recommending it

[@charliebrownsd]

Some good recs! You picked some great dishes too. Ululani's is definitely on my list. Here's some of my favorite spots: Ono Tacos in Lahaina, taco truck close to Kuhula Brewing which is also another great stop. Izakaya Genbe in Kihei is a hidden secret, you need a reservation so call before you show up. Down the Hatch in Lahaina was a big surprise, it's super busy and in a touristy area, but the food was really good even though it was pricey and the staff is super cool. For Hana I HIGHLY recommend Thai Food by Pranee, it's a hidden gem but not so hidden it's hard to find. For something different I love Star Noodle, it's a bit of a hipster ramen type joint, however, it does NOT disappoint, good date spot. It's great to see folks enjoying the local flava and not just going to the tourist traps and luaus.

[@Cruisingfoodies]

Think it's time to head back to Maui!

[@jameseldridgeiii7245]

Terrific video, thanks! I would definitely add Mama's Fish House. It's expensive and hard to get a reservation, but the food and location are the best! Also, would like to see more from the Wailea side. For instance, we enjoyed MonkeyPod, but there are many other restaurants around there.

[@eljefeguapobarbon]

Skinny Jeans is my favorite! Zippys and Leodas🤙🏽

[@lorihammel4715]

Love Maui - we were not able to get there this year. : ( Some other favs: The Gazebo for breakfast, Nalu's South Side Grill, Stewz Maui Burgers, Komodo General Store for donuts especially a cocoa joe.

[@melissamadrigal5023]

A must is Captain Jack's in Lahaina..awesome food. Large servings and good prices.

[@calhntr1]

Right on! Some new places to try, so far I've been to Nalu's(my favorite), Sam Sato's, Da kitchen, Fork n salad, Coconuts , Mama's, Paia Fish market, Dukes, and a couple more, they've all been fantastic! 😋😋😋

[@mrs.d8921]

Sadly, Da Kitchen closed for good in June, 2020.

[@dv1216]

Da kitchen is now opened near Long’s Drugs in Kihei. Right of Tanpopo (an awesome restaurant too)!

[@sportsMike87]

This video is just making my hungry

[@philiptuths3747]

Should include Da Kitchen and Tin Roof. Both are da bomb!

[@philiptuths3747]

@Emile Garcia This is very sad news for me. Thank you for letting me know.

[@Active_Tours]

Agreed, I tried to stop by as well. But they were closed. I’ll check out Tin Roof next time

[@brianmartin8835]

Don’t forget about the Seahouse Inn in Napili. Great happy hour from 3-6 pm and great pupus!

[@Brittnissx3]

i did the same for pa'ia's fish market - got it at the start and end of my road to hana trip

[@spiritfarmer]

Former Maui resident here. Next time there, hit Tin Roof, and Tamura's liquor store for poke. The food truck court across from Costco is also awesome - Kalei's Lunchbox, Like Poke are great. Save Waikiki Brewing for a trip to Oahu, and go to Kohola Brewery in Lahaina instead.

[@zbunch]

i cant visit maui without geste shrimp truck

[@tsrbrad]

Chillin' at the Bay Surf? It's our home away from home!

[@hjkim7754]

감사합니다!!

[@leannegreen5325]

You really should go back to the Kula Bistro for dinner....AMAZING!!!

[@utkbyuca89]

Okazuya, best value and delicious.

[@davidkapaku4883]

The most overlooked eating place with great food and low prices on the West Side are the ABC stores in Honokowai and Kapalua. No joke. Lots of local construction workers stand in line to order. Plus, there are either benches/tables to enjoy gathering.

[@alohafromthe3033]

Wow, this guy knows his stuff. I also recommend breakfast at Kula Lodge after sunrise.

[@markorkarenhanes1354]

Loved Kula Lodge.

[@trucon782]

Great video. I was a bit disappointed in Waikiki Brewing. 808 Deli is amazing! Im surprised it didnt make the list. Too many good places I guess.

[@mrs.d8921]

Loved your video, I've been to most you mentioned. But y'all need to return 'cuz there so many more places to try that cater to locals that are the REAL deal.

[@mauimikem]

Thank you! F Y I you missed the fish tacos at Coconuts Fish Cafe. 17 ingredients. Da Bomb. Mahalo

[@aspenscloset4880]

I looked up some of the restaurants you suggested and i ate at Leodas twice!!!! So good! Paia fish market garlic mahi mahi with rice and potatoes was soooo delicious. I also bought chicken Alfredo from them. It took me 3 meals to finish it which is great but disappointing because i wanted to try many other restaurants but i couldn’t eat paia fast enough. So when out and about i ate at food trucks i looked up on Yelp and ate mahi mahi again and it didn’t disappoint. You have great taste!

[@mickmamahawkmickmamahawk5829]

Oh you missed some really great local places yo eat!! Maybe next visit!!

[@R-abl]

Any pie at leodas and the cheeseburger! Da kitchen is a good one

[@serenity-ei9sp]

Yes!

[@Icummings09]

Try check out Poi By the Pound on 430 Kele Street in Kahului!

[@ericsano7736]

I like Star Noodle and their fried garlic soup.

[@indigomontoya1970]

No star noodle, cool cat Cafe, PI artesian pizza? Next time check em out

[@24k.purelife]

Kula Bistro is fire 🔥 but you definitely missed some bangers!!!!

[@BabyL3mur]

Mamas fish house is legendary

[@davidtodd1037]

Fish Market Maui....my #1 and it's casual and very reasonably priced.

[@ladybugmom10]

We had fish and chips at Paia and wow I’ve never had better fish!

[@808NoreenT]

For Poke, I love Safeway's Kalapana poke. But I also add more chili oil cause I like it more hot. Foodland's Special Sauce poke is my 2nd go to for poke. My favorite sushi place is M Sushi or Umi.

[@Active_Tours]

Thanks for sharing 🙏

[@MrJJA714]

Im all about poppin that egg yolk n mixing it

[@marywilkinson5937]

Mama’s, Star Noodle, Sensei

[@jf1890]

Dude - you missed the best spot in Hana - TONY'S PLACE food truck out by Hamoa Beach. Amazing fish and burgers not to mention the setting to eat lunch at. Very nice spot. Also recommend Brownie sundae for dessert. Tony's is ono grinds!!!! Check it out next time!
