Blake - Thanks so much for this video! Went to Maui - had no idea we needed reservations nearly everywhere. Missed a few places I had wanted to go. This vid was a lifesaver. Ended up trying a few on your list - especially liked Down the Hatch & Leoda's. Also thanks for taking some great photos for us for our sunset photoshoot. Maui is lucky to have you!
Its usually on weekends where reservations are absolutely required, but during weekdays it can either be quick seating or just about a half hour wait, it is long but patience is key
@@cambry2115 we waited an hour for our table, there were birds flying around everywhere and the staff barely cleaned the tables, the food was sooooo mediocre (I can make better breakfast food). It was ultimately so dirty and the food was meh. Not worth an hour wait time and not worth the money!
I was psyched you mentioned Okazuya. I have recommended that place to everyone who goes to Maui. We love that place. The last day on our last trip, we cancelled our plans and just hung out on the beach, got a couple of Maui onion burgers, and chilled. It was the best day ever. We’ve also been to Down the Hatch and Monkeypod. Great video! You nailed some real gems, and gave me some ideas for our next trip.
We just got back from Maui and loved many of the places you mentioned but didn’t know about some of them. Now we have something to look forward to on our next trip! Coconut’s Fish Cafe in Kihei was amazing. We ate breakfast at Kihei Caffe twice. Both places typically have a line, but they move fast and so worth the wait!
My gf and I are in Maui right now. And Blake does NOT disappoint! So far we are on day 2 and we’ve already tried 3 different places from his videos. Every one of them has been beyond amazing! If you’re coming to Maui soon definitely watch his videos and any of the suggestions will be amazing! Mahalo 🤙🏽
We just got home from Maui. The hyatt regency was amazing. Mama’s Fish house was so good and I don’t eat fish. Whalers village was fun to walk up too. Monkey pod was good and hulla grill. Cool cats was fun.
This was so helpful. I’ve been to Maui dozens of times and I thought I knew most of the restaurants but there are some great ones I’m going to try on my next trip! Thanks!
I've lived here since the 90's and I've just forgotten all these great new and old places to grind. Mahalo for opening my eyes again. I'm so hungry now!
My friends and I are going to maui in June. I was wondering if you know a local they can give us a private tour? We would like to go to some of the beautiful beaches, but also looking for waterfalls, but not looking to go to the road to Hana there is a group of us total of six women.
Blake, my wife and I head out there in ten days. We are planning on visiting four of the islands during our two weeks there. We have watched all your videos. Thank you for sharing. Very informative!
Aloha Blake! Thank you for the recommendations! My husband I love Maui and can't wait to return! In Nov. 2019, got to experience Down the Hatch's Lobster Crab Grilled Cheese...it was amazing! May 2021, bucket list highlight for me was Mama's Fish House on Mother's Day, an experience I will never forget. It's a reservation restaurant, but I thought I would give a shot out anyways. The view, the food, the service, and our waiter, Nicholas, who was born and raised in Maui was unforgettable! Loved the Polynesian Black Pearl for dessert...almost too pretty to eat...but of course I did. Stayed in Kihei first trip and in Kahana this past May. Looking forward to trying Gazebo for breakfast! Mahalo!
Aloha! We have been to MAUI three times and absolutely LOVE Maui out of all the Hawaiian Islands! 2 of the 3 trips we were in Lahaina on Oct. 31st for the Mardi Gras of the Pacific! We were staying in Kihei as we have friends that own a condo there. It's also time to return too! Our First trip we drove, HONEST TO GOD, 1,200 miles on Maui in two weeks! We went everywhere and some places 2 or 3 times! Yes we drove to Hana twice and also to the top of Haleakala twice too! We felt like Ohana and the desire to go back is very strong as we felt the "SPIRIT" of the Island. OH.....I also LOVED the "FRESH" made Poi too....Yummy! Aloha and Mahalo for this Great Video!!
Aloha from Tx, solid list of amazing places to eat, I’ve been lucky enough to try a hand full. Was just in Maui during Father’s Day was my 8 and 12 yr old daughters first Maui trip. Already planning our 2022 trip back, nowhere else I’d rather be. I’ll surely keep you in mind for pics the next time. Be well, 🤙.
Maui is my favourite place in the world. The weather is amazing, the island is beautiful, there food is exquisite, the people are really nice if your also nice, the culture is beautiful, love the language, the beaches are the best, modern and tropics hotels
Yes! Great vid! And thank you for the info about reef safe sunscreen! As a mainlander going to visit Maui soon, (after 30 years!) I always wondered about the impact of all those toxic chemicals polluting the bodies of water! So happy to hear that steps have been taken to protect the waters and sea life in Hawaii! 🌺🙏🏽💝
Just got back from Maui. Was already a fans of Monkeypod and Kihei Caffe, and went to both a couple of times. But we also visited Down the Hatch, Leota's and Joey's Kitchen on your recommendation and all were really fabulous! The crab and lobster grilled cheese was really good at Down the Hatch, but the mermaid fries there were the best I believe I have ever had! Thanks Blake!
Solid video! Just heads up, Nalus is in Kihei not Wailea, may have just been alittle oops we all know it happens, also if you are Kihei side pizza madness is where it is at for pizza! Great options, solid recipes, and a great atmosphere!
We are headed to Maui next month and we will definitely be trying out some of the places you mentioned in this video. I already have a few reservations in places that I had to of course make months ago 😵💫 but Mahalo for these additional recommendations 🌺
Very good video! Thank you, we have been to Maui many many times. Some of these restaurants we have tried and love. Others we will go to in the near future. Than you
Amazing! Thank you. My family and I will be visiting Maui in early April and we cannot wait to try the different restaurants that you recommended. We are so excited. :)
love the burgers at ulupalakua ranch on the way to haleakala. after the burgers we go across the street for wine at maui winery. also great views of molokini there
We were just there from Jan 27-Feb 1 2022 and loved your recommendation on Down the Hatch. We loved the Lobster Grill Cheese and the Lava Lava Taco and went there twice within 24 hrs. Thank you
I accidentally stumbled on this. And THANK YOU!! We're heading to Maui & Oahu in October, & this video is SO helpful. Planning on trying some of these spots! Great job! Aloha!🌺
hey I'm born and raised here on Maui so I got to share, my favorite pastry place is stillwells above Baldwin school right next to this ukulele shop. THE best cream horns and they do really good lunch too. Pretty close to there is made in hope those acai bowls changed my life. you got to go if you havent ,
Thank you for this video! ❤️ Excited to visit Maui for the first time this April🙏🏻 Looking forward to trying your food and restaurant recommendations 🤩
Great information. We own a place a Napili Point…have been to many of the restaurants you mention. All good. Especially appreciate your message about using Reef Safe Sunscreen.
I definitely loved a few of these places when I was there in 2019 and cannot wait to check out some of the others when I'm there in April. Surprised though you don't have Kihei café on your list.
Thank you for an amazing and thorough video! Definitely going to be trying so many of these spots come my trip to Maui in August! It will be my first time so I can't wait to try everything!!
Such a great video! We love maui. Love the plug for reef safe sunscreen 🤍 another restaurant is Threes! Owned by Local boys. Food is great, vibe is great!
Thanks!! I just booked a ticket to Maui for this January! I’ve been watching all your Maui videos and they have been very helpful So thank you for making them!
I tried almost everything you recommended!! You have excellent taste in food I completely trust you because everything we ate was completely ono!! Thank you so much for this video. Maui is a complete paradise so much beauty to behold and the people are just as beautiful inside!! Mahalo!!
Mahalo for this wonderful video! Can’t wait to try all of these spots during my next visit. We loved the to go food from Kuau store in Paia as we explored the area. 👍🌈😁
This was great to see and me and my wife hit up literally everyone of these places when we visited in 2018. Ono tacos and Tamuras were a staple for us for 2 weeks. Mahalo
We just got back from Maui and went to half of these places without really planning. We also really loved Kilo's food truck just before coming into Hana.
Nice man! I lived on Maui for 7 yrs but I haven't visited many of these places. You've got me thinking about a trip...cuz you made my mouth WATER. Plus "Chicken Skin'!!!
Great video, Blake. We are heading back to Maui in May for our anniversary because we were married there. Been to some of the places you talked about but thanks for the info on more places to check out!
Awesome video....I agree and learned so much from your video....just found you via apple TV and watching utube feed!! I feel so lucky to know you now. Also I maybe interested in renting a Tesla for my birthday this October...I was going to do a test drive in Honolulu but got rained out that day... Well,. I. Am looking forward to seeing more videos!! If can do all the island 🏝️
Oh needed this. Taking my 3rd trip to Maui! I’ve been to Paia market it’s absolutely delicious and I am NOT a seafood person! Ululanis is the best I have it a few times each trip and Leodas pies OMG mouth watering! I will try to hit a few other spots mentioned on my trip in November!

I'm a concierge and I liked your video so much that I'm including it in all my confirmation emails to guests. I hope you get business from it!
Honokawai raised and now live in Cali. I used to work at The Gazebo (still have my work shirts). Definitely a hidden gem
Bra how you liking maui? Lived in maui for a bit . Wish I could go back to maui since I'm back I n cali again
@@BraddaMarlon I love Maui. I lived there from 3 yrs to 25 yrs old. I live in SoCal now and wish I was back home on the Westside
I disliked Gazebo very much. Super over rated. California has much better brunch food.

Reef safe sunscreen - YESSS!! 🐠 Great take out suggestions, and thanks for including vegetarian/vegan ones too!
Best cinnamon roll I've ever had in my life is Cinnamon Roll Place in Kihei. AMAZING!! Their mango bread was also so delicious!
My family agrees! Best cinnamon roll ever-it’s life changing, haha!!
I’ve been to three islands and was never let down by a cinnamon roll
Thanks for the shoutout for Vegan eateries. Arriving in April, definitely checking your recommendations ☘️🌞

Thanks sir! We will be there in 2 weeks and I can’t wait to try all these foods,!
Love your videos! We stay twice a year for a total of 2 months!!! You have changed my mind about eating at food trucks!!!!!
Yay stoked on that! I believe the best food can be found there!
I've lived here since the 90's and I've just forgotten all these great new and old places to grind. Mahalo for opening my eyes again. I'm so hungry now!
Great info Blake! We will be in maui in Dec.. defntly love to know more of your insider tips! Will be following you!
If you want great local food, check out Nagasako's. It is right in front of foodland in Lahaina. Yessah 🤙

Thank you for this, I made sure to make my list. Going again for my 3rd time & food is always an issue. The Wharf dies have great food. We love it!
for more 'local' foods Sam Sato's in the mill yard, wailuku, Cupies in Kahului, Guri-Guri ( 100 yrs old?) at maui mall, three sisters bakery wailuku.
Thorough, Blake! Have family there and we've visited many times, many years, but I'm planning to eat even more! Mahalo!
I went to cool cats last year on my visit. For sure going back this year. The western burger was to die for.
Thank you for putting this video together. I'll be in maui this summer.

The Bar at Lahaina Grill doesn’t need reservations. Probably my favorite restaurant in the world
