The BEST Maui Restaurants - My Picks for Summer 2022

- Today we're checking out some of the BEST Maui restaurants in the Wailea and Kihei area. Aside from hitting Costco after landing, one of our top tips for saving money is by hitting the local Maui Happy Hours.
Note: We paid for all meals ourselves and this video was not sponsored in any way.
One of our favorite restaurants in Maui for Happy Hour is the Tommy Bahama in Wailea, which runs 2-5 daily. Don’t miss the Coconut Shrimp with Papaya Chutney, Blackened Mahi Mahi Tacos, or their famous Macadamia Crusted Goat Cheese with Mango Salsa. You also can’t go wrong with the salt and pepper wings or the cheeseburger sliders. Wash it down with a few Mai Tais and you’re good to go for the evening!
Monkeypod Kitchen also has a great happy hour, which runs 3:30-5 p.m. Be sure to start with one of their famous Mai Tais, which were named best on the islands. Then you can take your pick of half-priced appetizers and $10 pizzas. Try the Coconut Corn Chowder made with local lemongrass, followed by the Fresh Island Fish Sandwich with Thai Chili Aioli. Some other standouts include the Kalua Pork & Pineapple Pizza and the Poke Tacos. One of my favorites was the Pumpkin Patch Ravioli, made with with roasted local squash, goat cheese, spinach, and a toasted walnut sage pesto!
Pint & Cork’s happy hour, which runs 2-5 p.m., was one of our favorites. Some of their signature items include lemongrass chicken wings, deviled eggs with smoked bacon and béarnaise sauce, and Kalua Pork Sliders, topped with a Jicama Slaw. You can’t leave without ordering their signature Lobster Mac & Cheese, which sadly isn't on the happy hour menu, but well worth the splurge.
If you’re looking for happy hour with an ocean view, don’t miss 5 Palms, which runs 3-9 p.m. daily. We really enjoyed everything we ordered, including Calamari with crispy kale and lemon butter, a shrimp tempura roll, and Brussels sprouts with Bacon Onion Jam. The standout, however, was their Spicy Chili Shrimp, served in garlic white wine sauce.
Another favorite is Humble Market Kitchin, run by chef Roy Yamaguchi of Roy's Restaurants fame. This restaurant is really great for breakfast, but their Happy Hour (5 pm-6:30 pm daily) is pretty awesome too. Don't miss the Szechuan Spiced Ribs or the Chili Peppa Chicken Wings. My wife loves their Brussels sprouts and crispy calamari!
Finally, for some of the most delicious fish and chips on the island, check out Cafe O Lei. You can order them family style, which is a great deal if you have a large group!
Every Maui trip should include the Road to Hana, and the Twin Falls Fruit Stand is one of the first places you should stop. Don’t miss their fresh cracked coconut, sugar cane water, or famous banana bread!
Another great breakfast spot is Cinnamon Roll Place in Kihei. They’ve been around since 1981, and are famous for their huge cinnamon rolls that are made fresh daily. You’ll know you’re in the right place when you see the lines forming out into the parking lot.
You also can't go wrong at Kihei Caffe, which is open from 6 a.m. until 2 p.m. daily. Some of our favorites are the Crab Benedict, Kalua Pork Loco Moco, and the Chicken Fried Steak - served with Biscuit, Gravy and Eggs.
If you're looking for shave ice, Ululani’s Shave Ice serves some of the best shave ice on the islands. They have so many unique flavors, but one of our favorites is the Haleakala with the Snow Cap, made with sweetened condensed milk.

So nice of you. Thank you so much!
@@ChefTips absolutely!
Thanks ❤️
really good video
Hii Just watched your Cheese Omelet Recipe Damn 11 years Ago Wow What A Journey Chef Thankyou Soo much for sharing These Recipes :)
Just watched your 11 year old how to make a cheese omelet, then came to your mane channel and see this. OMG my mouth is watering 🤣
I'm most likely never gonna be in Maui but I still enjoyed the video! :D
Thanks! It's always fun just to see what kind of food different restaurants have on the menu. :)

What do you do for work?! Love all of your videos
Thank you! I’m in food management now.
@@ChefTips Me too! I see food, and I manage to eat it all!
@@silvsilvsilv Haha! :)
Your awesome
Thank you for your kind words!
@@ChefTips your very welcome!
Did I miss mention of Mama’s Fish House near Paia?
Great spot, but I was focusing mostly on Wailea and happy hours. Also, most people have to reserve so far in advance for Mama’s that it didn’t fit the theme for this video.
@@ChefTips is the Japanese restaurant in Makena still there?
@@PineGeri Which one?
@@ChefTips i can’t remember..but was inside a hotel…which used to be the Intercontinental…entered from outdoors not thru hotel. We were the only non-Japanese in there and the food was out of this world. Jackets for men was mandatory…
You may be thinking of Hana Gian. It was a an upscale Japanese restaurant at the Stouffers Hotel that is now the Andaz. Raffles was another restaurant there where men were required to wear jackets. I used to hostess there in the late eighties….it was a wonderful hotel then. Wailea/Makena is too snooty for me. However, I’m going to Ruth’s Chris on Sunday ….. but that’s for the hubbies birthday (his favorite )!🌺
I’d absolutely skip Tommy Bahamas. Came here today on your video recommendation for a happy hour spot.
1. 98% of the balcony was open but the guy said they were committed. Right… instead we were offered the tiny table closest to the bathroom hallway. We opted for the bar (first come first serve)
2. The chicken wings are no longer available. “World famous coconut shrimp” was mediocre at best - too much batter
3. Pineapple paradisio martini is mediocre (especially compared to other cocktail options in the area)
4. Energy is zzzzz during Sunday HH. Clientele is like avg age 60 and homogeneous
You say the best restaurants in Maui and failed to mention "Star Noodle' which is truly one of the best restaurants on Maui.
Great! Thanks!
