Kinaole Grill Food Truck — Restaurant in Maui

Nestled conveniently close to the beach, with ample parking for a quick stop, this food truck has become a staple of my dining routine. Its prime location next to where I live, coupled with the easy access for beachgoers, makes it an ideal spot for grabbing a bite after a day in the sun or during a leisurely beach walk.

One of the most commendable aspects of this food truck is the service. Despite its popularity, especially during rush hours, the staff manages the queue with efficiency, politeness, and accuracy. The wait time is surprisingly short given the crowd it draws, a testament to the team's dedication and organization.

The highlight for me, however, has been the food. It's rare to find a food truck that surpasses expectations to the degree this one has. Both the taste and presentation of their dishes are remarkable, rivaling that of high-end restaurants. Each meal is a testament to the culinary skill and passion of the chefs behind the window, offering a gourmet experience on the go.

A minor note for future patrons: it's preferable to pay with cash, as the truck imposes a 2.75% fee for card transactions. While slightly inconvenient, this detail is easily overshadowed by the overall value and quality of the food and service provided.

In summary, this food truck is a hidden gem by the beach. Its combination of a convenient location, exceptional service, and outstanding culinary offerings make it a must-visit. Whether you're a local or just passing through, missing out on what this food truck has to offer would...

We were so glad we found this place for a quick bite to eat on our initial jet lagged days in our vacation . The menu is mainly sea food based . We heard great reviews about the grilled mahi mahi and coconut shrimp and ordered them and man it didn’t disappoint.. the mango salsa on the grilled mahi mahi was perfect with right savory note and the fish was grilled to perfection .. the coconut shrimp was huge with about 6 in one order and was crispy and came with a sweet mild spicy asian inspired sauce .. but the highlight for us was the yummy fresh salad with goat cheese .. it was a very pleasant surprise .. the dressing was so creamy and had the umami which kept you going ..we could just eat a whole bowl of the salad alone and be still left craving for more .. also comes with a side of rice.. would highly recommend this place to get yummy local food without the bells and whistles but with the substance...

Wonderful food! Worth every penny. As a local it is one of my favorites. Great quality and great value! Just steps up the hill from Kam 1 beach. She opens at 5 for dinner, so it is perfect to pick something before sunset and walk down to a beautiful sunset with great food. I had the grilled Ahi. Excellent! It comes with an excellent salad! I am not sure which I liked best! Both outstanding! It also comes with rice. The rice was also, very good! It is a plate full of food. I had the wasabi sauce. Works well with the Ahi! But I also had the ultimate sauce that worked extremely well. I think you can choose any sauce you would prefer. She creates excellent sauces! Next time I think I will try the Lilikoi sauce. If you want great food, friendly service, and a great price I would recommend this food truck! It can be busy at times, but be patient, that is a good...
