Reviews
Located inside the Maui mall so there's plenty of parking outside. When we showed up we were greeted with friendly smiles and seated very quickly. It wasn't too busy for a Sunday afternoon but there were a few tables occupied. By the time we left, it was almost a packed house. The vibe inside is very lively with the music and the background noise of families conversing which made it feel homey. The All Da Kine Combo with Shrimp, Clams, and Mussels was flavorful and the sauce was the star of the show that tied it all together. There were also pieces of Portuguese sausage as well as potatoes and corn, inside the bag. Definitely advise scooping up the sauce and putting it over your rice to take full advantage of all the flavors!
We've visited this place every time we go to Maui. The service is great, prices are reasonable, and the food is good! We will be back!
I finally got to try this place after years of it being open at the Maui Mall. They do not take reservations and will not seat you until your entire party is there. It's not a huge place so it's understandable. You sign in at the front door and they call you when your table is ready. I will say, it's a little pricey. But this is the only seafood boil place on island and we were there for a special occasion, so we splurged a little. The elote was a nice surprise and was tasty. I also got a bowl of gumbo. I think it was $9. The portion was on the smaller side, but it's meant to be an appetizer and I did not want to fill up on it, so it was the perfect amount for me. Once you order, they bring out plastic gloves and bibs, and the table is lined with the paper. There are a few different ways to order, as well as different seafood options to try. We decided to get a mix of Kauai shrimp ($2 more than regular/mainland shrimp) mussels, and clams. We added corn and potatoes and a boiled egg as well. Sadly, the egg didn't make it in the bag. We added garlic butter and Cajun seasoning. I felt like it was a pretty generous portion of seafood and was more than enough for us to share. We got two bags for 5 people. Side note, they added automatic gratuity for our party size. I will say, the potatoes didn't have much flavor. I don't think they were "boiled" with the seafood. We did order a ribeye, then were told that they actually didn't have anymore (like 20 mins later) but it ended up being okay because we were full without it. I believe it's BYOB but we opted for fountain drinks. I love a crunchy coke. It didn't disappoint. I don't think we will be regulars but I'd go back for sure!
Came here for the first time and it was busy! The party I was in took up majority of the restaurant but the staff was quick to take care of each table and they were so kind and sweet! The food was good too! We got a combo, seafood was good and not overcooked.. oh and got my oyster fix, so yummy! Then ended with dessert, cheesecake was amazing! Would come again but at a less busy time, can get crowded pretty quick!
This is one of my favorite restaurants in Kahului hidden away in the Maui mall complex. You can always find very fresh fish and a wonderful seafood jambalaya soup. that's spicy, and authentic! I especially love their crispy calamari !! And another one of my favorites is the Opaka Paka .. And always order extra asparagus!! The staff is always friendly and pleasant .. and I enjoy drawing & sketching, on the butcher Block paper that is put on top of your table.. which for remind you of eating in Maine.. or Louisiana at a crawfish bake!! Oh, and I can't say enough great things about the king crab !! Another favorite of mine!! Keep up the good work guys. I'm so sad you close down in Lahaina.
