Tucked into the back of a little storefront on Baldwin Avenue in Makawao is a tiny little sushi bar — maybe six seats and two tables — where a competent chef makes plate after plate of reasonably good, fresh sushi. We skip the miso (salty) and order a few rolls when we’re upcountry and want […]

Nikki’s Pizza is one of the few places in Ka’anapali with good food priced proportionally. Pizzas are made to order (you can also get slices), there are enormous sandwiches and heroes, and pretty good shave ice (a little icy, but the best option if you’re not driving down to Lahaina to try Ululani’s). Nikki’s has […]

This be-bop diner at Queen Kaahumanu Mall is the go-to place for kids of all ages. The big burgers wrapped in paper so they don’t spill, the thick milkshakes, the reasonably good fries and onion rings, and the clean, red-boothed restaurant bring in crowds from open to close. If it’s your birthday, don’t tell them […]

Guri-Guri is a local frozen treat that is something like ice cream, something like sherbet, but not really either one. The story is that it was made for Japanese plantation workers and sold as “goodie-goodie” (which they pronounced guri-guri). This third-generation family store is a Hawaiian institution and people visiting from other islands make a […]

This is the only place on Maui we recommend you go to for shave ice. And you’re in luck, because it’s one of the best in Hawaii. With three locations — and a new one opening in Kihei in early 2012 — you really don’t have an excuse. If you’re visiting, make your first stop […]
