It is worth finding, worth waiting (although we did not have a long wait) and worth every dollar. We sought out this food truck only because of recommendations from other reviewers. It was easy to spot from kihei road and we had a lovely chat with the owner while she was preparing our food. We had the coconut shrimp and... More

Just a short walk from Maui Coast Hotel or beach. We ordered our lunch and then took it to a pinic table at the beach. My husband had the panko ahi and I had the coconut shrimp. Both were good with sauces that really made the dishes! The sides are average-cold mac salad could use more flavor-something to match the... More

Very large, coconutty and crispy goodness! I skipped the rice and mac salad and went with all cole slaw, which is LOTS of slaw. My husband loved the mac salad as well as his mahi mahi. We parked adjacent to the truck, took our beach towels and found some shade at the park to eat this easy, tasty lunch. Yummo

Want a dinner overlooking the ocean? Eat here and walk accross the street to Kamole 1 and grab a table or some shade in the grass. Best view in this price range. We loved this place and bought 3 entrees to split for the 4 of us. We had the Katsu chicken, Mahi, and the cocconut prawns. All was fantastic... More

Tried them at Kihei Fourth Friday. Food: Calamari - Had I known it was STEAKS and not the little pieces, I wouldn't have gotten this. I could've inquired, but it also could've been listed on the board. Calamari was cooked nicely. The potato mac salad was horrible. Super tangy. Miracle Whip anyone? Service: Friendly and super slow. Waited almost 20... More

Amazing food truck with excellent food! Calamari and scampi were delicious! There is a patch of grass where you can lounge out and a nice very of the ocean. The value is a little high, but the portions are huge!

I ate here twice and had the garlic shrimp and calamari. My friend had the kahlua pork and katsu chicken. Everything was excellent. I thought it was a little pricy for a food truck at first but they give you a complete plate lunch with rice, mac salad and coleslaw. It was all very fresh. The calamari was crispy on... More

Considering this is a food truck and not a restaurant, you would expect the prices to fall in line with the fact that there are no waiters or staff to pay. Nonetheless, this truck served up a tasty meal for me. I ordered the garlic shrimp. These plate dinners come with two scoops of rice and mac salad and coleslaw.... More

My husband and I ate from this food truck at least 3 times during our recent 2 week stay in Maui. We tried it all. The panko ahi, the mahi mahi, the garlic shrimp, coconut shrimp, crispy calamari, and passion fruit cheesecake! The coconut shrimp was my favorite, so flavorful and the Thai dipping sauce made it perfect. He loved... More

We bought 2 orders of coconut shrimp and were in heaven. We brought our orders across the street to Kam II, after buying a couple beers at the nearby ABC store. We found a shady picnic table and loved every bite of our lunch and the woman that owns the truck was very nice!
