I have traveled all over the world but I found the menu selections very limited and strange. We ordered our steaks medium well and they were served to us medium rare. They were not very tender either. In hindsight we should have sent them back. Mauka was seriously overpriced with very small portions. Parking was almost non existent. I would... more

We have a lot of asia-inspired restaurants back home in San Francisco, so I was a bit surprised to find myself seated at Mauka for my five-year anniversary dinner. Mauka surpasses any other asian-inspired contemporary cuisine I'd had back home. It really exceeded my expectations! We shared the Poke spring rolls, which was very unique and delicious! It's like a... more

We went as a party of four and sat outside on their patio, which was very nice and got us off to a promising start. However, of the four appetizers we ordered for our table, only one was good. The rest were either bland or bad. The dinner was average at best. I ordered the sea scallops, which were good... more

We had dinner there on 8/14 our last night in Santa Fe vacation. Food was wonderful. The menu is somewhat limited in the number of selections but my wife and I both enjoyed our apps and entrees. The menu shows some real imagination. I had a calamari app that was totally different from any preperation I have ever had before.... more

this restaurant would have gotten top marks. The lunch menu was well-edited and good across the board. The sour and unsmiling waitress, however, left us with a bad taste in our mouths. Particularly when business is slow at lunch, one expects service with at least a single smile. more

Amazing!

I have been blessed to have eaten at many excellent restaurants! The meal I had at Mauka was exceptional and ranks with the best I have ever had. The service was fast and pleasant, prices reasonable (for the quality of food), but most importantly the food was exceptional. I had the seafood specials for appetizer and entree and they were... more

Of all the places we ate in Santa Fe, this was our favorite. The waitstaff were delightful. The food was terrific and the decor was charming. Although we prefer to sit indoors, the outdoor seating looked very appealing - a very cozy setting. It is a little tricky to find the restaurant, but worth the effort. Don't give up, you... more

Three of us had supper at Mauka for the first time in ~6 months on 8/1/09 at 18:30. The restaurant was neither full nor deserted. It took 1:45 minutes to eat supper. There were extensive delays in getting served. The delays did not appear to be the fault of the waitress. The sashimi and poke spring roll appetizers were tasty,... more
