Ken’s Fresh Fish
55-730 Kamehameha Hwy Ste 102 Laie, HI 96762808-888-7193Hours: Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday 11:00 am – 5:30 pm CASH ONLY North shore is where my sister Kellyne used to live during and after college for a bit. She got to know the local food up there and has her favorites. Ken’s Fresh Fish is one of the places she loves to get fish. We pulled up to this small strip and walked into a very open and empty room. But there were several people coming in and out of this place too. There was a whiteboard set up and it happened to be the very simple menu. We decided to…

Gyu-Kaku
95-1830 Meheula Pkwy Space C-12 and C-13, Mililani, HI 96789808-600-5848Hours: Monday to Thursday 11:00 am – 10:00 pmFriday to Saturday 11:00 am – 11:00 pmSunday 11:00 – 9:00 pm I love Asian BBQ. I say Asian bbq because I enjoy both Japanese and Korean bbq a whole lot. This place is a Japanese bbq restaurant and we happened to come here back in 2017 for my birthday. It was one of Kellyne’s picks back then, still is one of her favorites, and now it’s one of mine. This restaurant has a large menu. It’s kind of overwhelming but, we let Kellyne take the lead. We did know that previously that…

Coconuts Fish Cafe
1279 S Kihei Rd Kihei, HI 96753808-875-9979Hours: Monday to Sunday 10:00 am – 9:00 pm Coconuts was recommended to us by one of Kellyne’s students. It was located in a strip mall and seemed to be relatively busy. We walked up to the counter and stared at the menu to determine what we were going to order. The staff greeted us and asked if it was our first time coming there. When we responded yes, we were told that they were known for their fish tacos and the grilled ono on a bun was also highly recommended. We ended up ordering the fish tacos, the fish and chips, and the…

Fat Daddy’s Smokehouse BBQ
1913 S Kihei Rd. Kihei, HI 96753808-879-8711Hours: Monday to Sunday 3:00 pm – 8:30 pm Fat Daddy’s has two entrances. We happened to go in the back as it was pretty hard to find the entrances. Once we found it, the place was busy. The waitress let us know as we were seated that they were out of a few items on the menu: burnt ends and smoked devil eggs After looking over the menu, there were some dressed up usuals that you’d expect to find at a BBQ joint: beans, Mac and cheese, hushpuppies, etc. Now I spent the majority of my life in Kansas City, so I know…

Tiffany’s Bar and Grill
1424 Lower Main St. Wailuku, HI 96793808-249-0052Hours: 10:30 am – 11:30 pm Tiffany’s was off the beaten path and we missed it the first time we drove by. It was a bit questionable, but we were tired and hungry, so we decided to go for it. Once we parked and walked in, it was fairly busy. Apparently the place had just gotten a POS, or a point of sale, installed that day and things were a bit crazy. We sat down and tried to interpret what kind of place this was, as we thought it was a Chinese restaurant when we picked it. It was, kinda. The menu was pretty…

Maui Bread
2395 S Kihei Rd St 117, Kihei, HI 96753808-757-8740Hours: Monday- Sunday 7:00 am to 7:00 pm I love bakeries. LOVE them. This bakery was in the same plaza as where we ate breakfast, Cafe at La Plage. We ordered breakfast sandwiches at the cafe and I went over to the bakery with Kellyne and we picked up a few items we just had to try. Everything in this bakery was made without preservatives, lots of gluten free options, and lots of unique flavors you’ll only find on a tropical island. They had a LOT of choices. I wanted to try them all. Sadly, we decided on a few items for…

Cafe at La Plage
2395 S Kihei Rd St 115, Kihei, HI 96753808-875-7668Hours: Monday – Friday 6:30 am to 4:00 pmSaturday- Sunday 6:30 am to 3:00 pm This breakfast place was quiet and had a small group of what appeared to be regulars that had their dogs with them as they ate out on the patio. After we ordered, a large flux of people filed in and the place became quite busy and a bit crowded. This cafe was right near Maui Bakery, so I left while Kellyne and Autumn awaited for our order and I went to explore the bakery. I love bakeries, it’s a weakness. Our food was ready and we met…

Bistro Molokini
3850 Wailea Alanui Dr. Grand Wailea Resort Hotel Spa, Wailea, HI 96753800-888-6100Hours: 11:00 am – 9:00 pm We decided to try out one of our resort restaurants and landed here. It was late when we arrived and were seated. As we walked in I saw several tables had bread and oil of some sort. I at least was looking forward to that as it’s one of my favorite accompaniments to a meal. We were seated and handed menus. We reviewed the appetizers and decided on the Poke nachos as our waitress highly recommended it and it was unique to this place. It was fairly decent and the fish was very…

There are multiple locations Fudge making class! That’s what we signed up for. I shouldn’t have been surprised to find it was a 30-60 min class which wasn’t about making fudge, it was about flavoring fudge to different types based on personal preference. It was pretty neat and a very smart business model. The class was tucked in a room behind the front of the shop, which had some neat stuff in that little…

Miso Phat Sushi
1279 S Kihei Rd St 108 Azekas Shopping Center, Kihei, HI 96753808-891-6476Hours: Monday – Sunday 11:00 am to 9:00 pm After we had enjoyed our shaved ice treat, we noticed a popular sushi place was across the street. We had some time to kill and Miso was having a happy hour. We decided to check it out and share a roll or two to see what was what with this sushi. We sat at the sushi bar since it was quite a small space inside the restaurant. They were having happy hour, however, it was only $1 -$2 off. We decided to try the Rainbow roll and the Philadelphia roll…
