Get the bento box special. If u are normal hungry its a Great sampling of meats on rice hawaiian style. Chicken & beef teriyaki, chicken katsu and even spam. 1 bite was enough to say I did it.

Affordable place with big portions. Get a katsu chicken sandwich if you want something a little smaller and if you can't take leftovers home.

A local favorite! This spot was featured on Food Network's Diners, Drive-ins & Dives and has since become a visitor favorite as well. HUGE portions & I mean HUUUGGE! Can't beat great food and service!

Deep fried spam masubi is good but share because it gets heavy with all the rice (not great spam to rice ratio). The Polynesian paralysis loco mock is good, and huge! Also liked the ube soft serve.

Huge delicious portions of all your favorite Hawaiian food. Try everything! But the big combo is the way to go (pictured)

This place is an absolute MUST. Amazingly delicious food, friendly staff willing to go out of their way to make us feel at home. Spam appetizer, chicken teriyaki and Hawaiian plate were unbelievable!
Audrie BethSeptember 14, 2018
Everything is delicious! I loved the teriyaki kimchee burger. Really nice service and big portions - you should really split any of their rice based entrees!
Adam StallmanSeptember 13, 2014
Make sure you try one of the different spins they put on the local favorite, loco moco. The portions they serve here are easily enough for two people to share. Maybe even three people.

Best meal of our trip! Chicken long rice and short ribs were both excellent!! Be warned, the portions are huge! I thought the fried spam musubi was just “OK.”

Kalua port is delicious and a huge portion. Even the salad is great. Definitely come here before your flight home, it’s right near the airport.
Emilia DoerrJuly 27, 2013
Make this your first stop on the island. 2 minutes from OGG. Don't let the crowds outside scare you away- it's worth the wait... And service is quick and friendly.
IsWindSeptember 23, 2012
Some of the best local dishes done well you could want... and let's not forget the portion size which is really about 2-3 meals. Great tastes/flavors - broke tha mouth!
Brian StraussNovember 29, 2018
Everything here is good and all of the portions are huge. I really like the Kalbi ribs. My kids liked the Keiki saimin noodles.
Peaches TavaresDecember 18, 2014
Da chicken Katsu plate is Oka Ono!!!! Very good!! With very generous portions!!! You gotta try this!!
Fodor's TravelJuly 25, 2018
The upbeat ambience is reflected in the service as well as the food. There's an "express" location in Kihei, but we recommend the happy, always-crowded Kahului location. Read more

BIG Moco is a feast for two don’t let the menu fool you. Fried Misubi to die for! Kids meal easily fed two kids.
Bryce RobertsApril 18, 2014
fried musubi looks better than it tastes. totally overrated. all the beef here is amazing- tastes so local and fresh. also- best fries!
Kat 🐱July 5, 2017
Katsu Moco is not bad, although the patty is a bit too salty for me. The portion is HUGE though. More than enough for two people.
John ShellyOctober 12, 2013
If you leave this place hungry or dissatisfied, there is something wrong with the way you are living your life.
Chris MessinaNovember 17, 2019
The portions are definitely designed for sharing, including the tempura fish dish! 😵
Mark LombardiDecember 27, 2015
The Fried Spam Musubi is great. The other plate lunches are good. Lots of food!
Amanda NatividadMay 20, 2017
Large portions; great for sharing. The hype around the fried spam musubi is real.
Rob WeidmannJune 24, 2016
You're going to get enough food for two people. Maybe three. I got the Katsu Moco and it was delicious.
Kat 🐱March 13, 2016
Super delicious Fried Spam Musubi!!! Get it to-go to avoid the long wait.
Kyle FowlerMarch 11, 2016
When the tips say the portions are enough for two, they really mean three. Food was great, especially the katsu moco.
Kat 🐱July 11, 2017
I always get the fried spam musubi here every time I'm back to Maui.
Megan BowesAugust 22, 2017
Saimin was delicious. Chinese chicken salad was also very good.
Creighton GreenMay 16, 2018
Get the mixed plate so you can try a little of everything. We love this place.
Fabian MarbanAugust 27, 2015
Really good food, great service, and what a gorgeous wait staff!!
Tim MeisenheimerNovember 15, 2012
Awesome loco moco and chicken katsu, but the sides rocked, too! Papaya dressing on green salad killed it! Wait staff was spectacular.
Jennifer YipJanuary 18, 2015
the loco mocos are huge! definitely get an order of the fried spam musubi. skip the kimchee crab cake.
Sandra PimentelJune 6, 2015
In a strip mall, but surprisingly spacious, festive/trendy, and fun. Simian was delicious.
Avinash GaikwadJuly 10, 2013
This place is great before you catch up your flight. Great food and awesome service. Cheapest menu prices in Maui :)
Lucy LiuSeptember 15, 2012
Order the Hawaiian plate if you want a little of all the local tastes, but be prepared to share, or take home another meal's worth of leftovers
Bob CarpenterJune 30, 2013
Been here 5+ times
Try the specials on the board. Just had an amazing beef stew.

Every time we come to Maui, Da Kitchen is a must! Only the best plate lunch/dinner/breakfast all day!
Megan ManzineMarch 8, 2017
Amazing food, huge servings! Excellent chicken meals .. a must try when near
Vibeke AhnMarch 10, 2018
The meal size is unreal large. You Can share and get plenty of food
Brian YamanakaDecember 17, 2011
Home of deep fried things. Try the fried spam musubi. If your are bold tell me how the deep fried cheesecake turns out! I prefer the katsu at Kihei location.
Joseph MillsJune 17, 2018
The Kalua pork is incredible
Rory KJuly 17, 2012
Fried spam musubi! My nephew loves the fried mac and cheese...looks like chicken nuggets. Large portions in general and priced accordingly.
Travis McGeeSeptember 22, 2014
Tempura fish and chips were quite possibly the best food we had during our stay here
Hattie StroudMay 2, 2016
Fantastic fried spam musubi and a juicy chicken katsu sandwich.
Nicole CaballeroDecember 22, 2013
Loco Moco bowls are awesome & about 3 days worth of lunch.
Felipe PissardoOctober 30, 2014
Hawaiian plate is the best. Also the island tea is refill and pretty nice!
Nate LawlerAugust 1, 2017
Great place! Terriyaki chicken is tasty, even the kids dish.
Ziming ZhaoApril 3, 2014
When I walked in, I was kinda disappointed. I thought this is just another chain restaurant like Denny's. But the food here amazed me. Go for the Korean Ribs.
Stephanie BraitschMarch 11, 2014
It's BYOB, so don't forget to pack your brewskis!
