You can never say enough good things about Mama's, they are all true........the Creme Brulee is to DIE for!!!! The real gem is Upcountry, the drive, the view, the whole experience is why you go to Maui....its just awesome!!
@Tiffani A I booked about 3 months in advance since we were going in June, which is very busy. I booked through Open Table, but you might be able to book directly through their website.
Happen to find you both when arriving in Maui this week. Videos are awesome , advice/recommendations are even better! South Maui Gardens were absolutely awesome, Sea House was great. Mahalo for all this great information!
I just discovered your channel. I love your videos!! Such great information. It will help me on my next trip to Maui. Your little boy is super cute too.
Dang! Awesome to see the gardens have got up and running. I visited in 2021 and they had nothing but lush gardens. They were explaining the vision and I am excited to see its on your list now
I’m heading to Maui on Thursday. Excited to try some of the food trucks you’ve mentioned! And I agree with Mama’s…such an experience. When I went, I didn’t have a reservation, but they were able to seat me at the bar, which is beautifully carved wood. Thanks for sharing your experiences!
Took your recommendation and stopped at South Maui Garden for lunch. It was so cool walking through the landscape business and finding yummy food. Had açaí smoothie, coconut shrimp and ribeye sandwich.
Another fantastic video on your channel that makes me just want to be on Maui - and thankfully I´ll be for all of September. Great concept, filming, editing - and such a sweet family. Mahalo for your work and your effort!
Thanks guys. We love Maui food groove! We loved Mama's Fish House when we were there and it truly was picture perfect and the food was amazing. I think I told my wife I loved her at least 10 times, while we enjoyed MFH. One favorable mention that we didn't see on this particular clip was Star Noodle, just north of Lahaina town, on Front st. I don't know if you ever have eaten there but it is amazing. Wonderful food and service. Always crowded but we went in early lunch, around 11am, or early dinner, around 4 or 4:30 with no problem. Keep up the great videos; I always look for notifications from you guys! Aloha and Mahalo.
Thanks for sharing! Star Noodle is a great one to visit. We miss Aloha Mixed Plate which they closed during COVID to move Star Noodle but Star Noodle is a gem.
Love your videos ... Especially the "stay-cation" one in Napili. We stayed there at Napili Sunset Beach Front ... It was absolutely amazing! I don't think we'll stay anywhere else. Every room has a full beach view, not just peeks if you lean around the wall. Anyways ... watching your videos makes us want to go back ... for good, lol! We went to Kohola Brewing a couple times while we were there. By far our favorite brewery between Maui and Oahu. Now if they'd only ship to the mainland or at least offer mail order, lol. Keep putting out the great videos! Mahalo!
The Napili beachfront hotels and vacation rentals are classics. Thanks for the tip. We love Kohola for the beer and atmosphere. Talk Story is my favorite beer. Yes, they need to ship to the mainland. Maybe their new owners will expand the distribution.
@@TheHawaiiVacationGuide Did they sell the place? When did this happen? We love Talk Story as well. *sigh* Maybe we can find someone to ship us some from there, lol.
Great job on all your videos.... My wife and I are going mid Sept. But this time instead of staying in Kaanapali, where have stay at least a couple of dozen times, we are staying in Kihei ... this video was perfect because we have seldom ventured there during our visits. BTW I'll take Mama's Fish House over Merrimans any day of the week. Don't bet me wrong, Merriman's has awesome food, But the scenery can't be beat. keep up the great videos and ... Really..... thanks for sharing.
You guys are the the best. I CANNOT wait to come to Maui. Only 2 weeks now. It's our first overseas holiday in 7 years and I am very excited. I know you said to book restaurants early but I left it too late to book Mama's Fish House for our time in Maui which is a major bummer.
This was great! I'd love a similar best "food experience" for the other islands too. Most of what's out there (except for Honolulu) is "We hit this food truck and it was great" kind of thing. Which is fine, but I'd like to know about places to eat that are the whole package, like in this video.
Love your videos Jordan and Erica! My wife Janette and I are traveling to Maui the first week of November (staying in Kaanapali) and if we see your family we'll be sure to say hello!
We’ve been coming to Maui for years and I have never heard of so many of these experiences. Coming back in February and can’t wait to try each one; thank you! I just love following your adventures with and darling family; wish we could host you for dinner at our house in the PNW! ❤️
I love your videos and for sure will be visiting South Maui Gardens as I will be staying in Kihei next April. Big question what are your rules there in regards to drinking and driving? Here in Toronto Ontario Canada they are very strict I wouldn't drive even after having just one alcoholic beverage. I am not a drinker but wanted to ask.
Hi Guys love your channel... My wife and I are heading to Waikiki this week. We scheduled a flight to Maui for a day trip, would you recommend road trip to Hana or the westside of the island? It will be a full day 8am - 8pm . We are staying at a resort in Waikiki so I thought it would be better to see more of the rain forest and waterfalls. thank you for your help. Shawn
for rainforest and waterfalls, then Road to Hana is where you have to go. One day is tough but doable, see our article for some tips: thehawaiivacationguide.com/road-to-hana-in-one-day/
we are working on our Oahu food experience video but won't be out in time for your trip. Sorry! Hit up the Haleiwa food trucks, House Without a Key for drinks and live music, and a good Hawaiian meal like at Highway Inn or Ohana Grill.
Thanks for sharing! We just booked our trip to Maui - first time! Our children are allergic to eggs, nuts, and gluten ::sigh:: Will we be able to find food for them?
Most likely but it will be hard as many restaurants don't advertise those restrictions. Our maui itineraries list vegetarian, vegan, and gluten free restaurants by area of the island.
We went to Mama's Fish House for our anniversary one year and didn't find it worth the money. Tiny food on a big dish. Plus there were tons of little black sand flies getting into our food. In that area, we prefer Paia Fish Market. Big slabs of fish, 2 large prawns, salad, fries-what more could anyone want?
Mama's Fish House os so in love with themselves about how good the food is - and it IS, but they don't pay their highly trained kitchen staff properly, that's why all those people leave and start their own business. The only guy paid (besides the owners) is the exec chef. Bonuses' for keeping his staff budget as scant as possible. Front of the house makes it on tips- kitchen crew don't have access to customer tips. It's sadly a dictatorship. Great food though, and a really nice front of the house and gorgeous dining experience; ignore the slavery. Mama's tried to recruite me, and I said no. So no, I am not a disgruntled ex-employee, I believe hard working people should be paid, and getting the "honor " of working in Mama's kitchen does not pay the rent. My resumé is flashy enough without Mama's footprint.
Ono tacos in Lahaina is trash. Save your money. Threw away 100 dollars of it away in front of owner. Ripping customers off. Buy at your own risk ⚠️ 808 antohitos much better tacos, just down the street in the parking lot of cannery mall-Safeway / cvs

Huge fan of this couple.

The real gem is Upcountry, the drive, the view, the whole experience is why you go to Maui....its just awesome!!
We ate at Mama's Fish House two weeks ago. It is worth every penny!! The food and atmosphere is absolutely AMAZING! Can't wait to go back!
How did you get in there? Do you have to book way in advance?
@Tiffani A I booked about 3 months in advance since we were going in June, which is very busy. I booked through Open Table, but you might be able to book directly through their website.
Happen to find you both when arriving in Maui this week. Videos are awesome , advice/recommendations are even better! South Maui Gardens were absolutely awesome, Sea House was great. Mahalo for all this great information!
I'm glad you found us! Enjoy the rest of your trip and thanks for visiting Maui!
Every time I watch your Maui videos, I'm ready to go there again! Thanks for another great video!
You guys are really helping me plan a vacation here with some of my friends later on it’s such a pretty place so thank you guys
glad we could help! Enjoy the trip with your friends
Perfect timing! We’re heading to Maui in August. Can’t wait to try your recommendations!!!!😋
I just discovered your channel. I love your videos!! Such great information. It will help me on my next trip to Maui. Your little boy is super cute too.
I love all your fun videos. Mahalo for sharing! I’m curious what camera you shout your video with. It’s so nice.
Thanks for watching! This video I used a GoPro. It has been my main camera for a long time.
Thank you for the reply. That’s great, hopefully my new GoPro will look as good as yours. My previous one didn’t seem to look as nice. 🤙
Dang! Awesome to see the gardens have got up and running. I visited in 2021 and they had nothing but lush gardens. They were explaining the vision and I am excited to see its on your list now
Just found your delightful vids. come 2 times a year and spending 5 weeks soon! Thanks for the info!
I'm glad you found us too! enjoy the 5 week trip!
Mouth watering video!! Always enjoy watching your beautiful family experience Hawaii. 😍👍

You guys are awesome! Thank you. Maui bound in 48 days
have a wonderful trip!
Mama's Fish House is a five minute drive from one of the best surfing beaches on Maui.
Took your recommendation and stopped at South Maui Garden for lunch. It was so cool walking through the landscape business and finding yummy food. Had açaí smoothie, coconut shrimp and ribeye sandwich.
I’m glad you could stop by! They have done a great job with the space. Mahalo.
Another fantastic video on your channel that makes me just want to be on Maui - and thankfully I´ll be for all of September. Great concept, filming, editing - and such a sweet family. Mahalo for your work and your effort!
thanks so much for the comment! have a great stay in September!
❤thank you for another amazing video.
Thanks for watching! And the comments!
Maui Bound April 2nd ! Mama’s on the April 12 ! Can’t wait ! Aloha 🌴
Love Your Videos !
good job on the Mama's reservation! Have a great trip and thanks for watching!
Another cool place to eat is The Kula Lodge. Had breakfast there after watching the sunrise @ Haleakalā.
I can't wait to move, get settled and begin our new adventures in Kihei ❤
This was our absolute favorite thing to do on Maui
So happy for this video. I am planning on going back next year and staying a month, so I will definitely have to try all of them!
A month!! We’ll done!

During COVID they had problems so a company helped them out. As far as we can tell, nothing changed in the brewery or with the beer. thank goodness.
Great Information Guys!
Thanks for watching! This was a fun video to make.
We bought a cheap hibachi grill and made our little own bbq by the beach. It was way better and cheaper than restaurants.
Faaabulous. Thanks so much. Aloha from Arizona. Haha. xoxo
Aloha! thanks for watching and subscribing. Enjoy that Maui food.
Great info, thanks
Everything looks so yummie. 🌴😎🤙
Omg I’m gonna try this next week
Be there 😀✌️
This all looks great. We def need to head back to Maui. We haven't checked out that brewery before so def adding that to the list!
good upload, going to kaanapali in two days! very excited!
have a great stay in Ka'anapali.
Is it just me or did your beer foam at 6:23 look like the Big Island?
I didn’t see that during editing. That is something to behold. Kohola should expand to the Big Island

thanks for the comment and for watching! Enjoy Kaanapali. September is a great month to visit.
Oh man, I live here and didn’t know about O’o Farm. I’m totally booking a date there with my wife. Mahalo for the video!
Thanks for watching! Have a great time. Another reason to head to upcountry this summer.
You guys are the the best. I CANNOT wait to come to Maui. Only 2 weeks now. It's our first overseas holiday in 7 years and I am very excited. I know you said to book restaurants early but I left it too late to book Mama's Fish House for our time in Maui which is a major bummer.
2 weeks! Have a wonderful trip! You can try to get a same day reservation Mama's. and they sometimes have room at the bar.
Please do this for the big island!!
I live in Kihei and South Maui Gardens has been a huge hit! Thank u for promoting 🌺
thanks for watching and the comment! That place is so well down and has a great group of local spots.
This was great! I'd love a similar best "food experience" for the other islands too. Most of what's out there (except for Honolulu) is "We hit this food truck and it was great" kind of thing. Which is fine, but I'd like to know about places to eat that are the whole package, like in this video.

great job!
Love your videos Jordan and Erica! My wife Janette and I are traveling to Maui the first week of November (staying in Kaanapali) and if we see your family we'll be sure to say hello!
thanks for watching and have a wonderful trip. Say hi if you see us!
Make me wanna go to Maui now 😩
We’ve been coming to Maui for years and I have never heard of so many of these experiences. Coming back in February and can’t wait to try each one; thank you! I just love following your adventures with and darling family; wish we could host you for dinner at our house in the PNW! ❤️
Have a wonderful trip in February and enjoy the new food experiences! Thanks for following along on our adventures
Love your videos! But I wish y’all had done this one 6 months ago before our visit to Maui. Guess we need to make another visit!
😂 I guess you should book that flight
Cafe O'Lei is my favorite.
Do you have a video on just the Maui food trucks? We will be there soon. Thanks for the tips.
Do not Miss Da Nani Pirates food truck (Whalers Village)
we do! here is our Maui food truck video: ruclips.net/video/Rww3WqIAlZE/видео.html
@@TheHawaiiVacationGuide Thank you for responding 👍🙏
Sun Yat Sen Park is upcountry
I love your videos and for sure will be visiting South Maui Gardens as I will be staying in Kihei next April.
Big question what are your rules there in regards to drinking and driving? Here in Toronto Ontario Canada they are very strict I wouldn't drive even after having just one alcoholic beverage. I am not a drinker but wanted to ask.
They are strict in Hawaii also, similar laws to the rest of America. Thanks for watching!

for rainforest and waterfalls, then Road to Hana is where you have to go. One day is tough but doable, see our article for some tips: thehawaiivacationguide.com/road-to-hana-in-one-day/
Mama's Fish House and Merriman are good too but they are pricey.
Do you have a guide for Big Island-We want to go for 7 days, it is so huge! Need a day 1, day 2, etc. plan for sites and food.
We do! Our Big Island Wayfinder Itinerary is the best: thehawaiivacationguide.com/best-hawaii-itineraries/
Any recommendations for Oahu? Heading out there in three weeks…
we are working on our Oahu food experience video but won't be out in time for your trip. Sorry! Hit up the Haleiwa food trucks, House Without a Key for drinks and live music, and a good Hawaiian meal like at Highway Inn or Ohana Grill.
@@TheHawaiiVacationGuide awesome!! Will do. Thank you both for all the great videos! 🙏🏼

Can you share the guide for vegetarians (no eggs, no seafood, no meat!) or vegans?
Please Watch "Hawaii: The Stolen Paradise (Full Documentary) | TRACKS"
is maui over rated?
we are biased but we aren't disappointed with Maui.
