We had lunch at this place. We ordered Pork luau, Chicken rice long, Squid and Lau Lau. Overall, the quality of the food was average. Especially, the Chicken Rice Long was very very salty. The price is average. The service was good except they lost...More

Not for me

We tried this place based on a recommendation however I thought the food was terrible. Meat was under cooked, flavors were very bland and did not taste good at all. I would pass and try something different. Upside, server was friendly

Wanna go back!

We ordered a couple of dishes that were great, but the people sitting next to us ordered the Hawaiian plate and everything on it looked amazing. I would recommend that if you go there.

Good, not great

Got the garlic shrimp and the Hawaii platter. Garlic shrimp tasted more like butter than shrimp and expected a bit more from the portion size... Hawaii platter was solid. But if you’re traveling to Maui, I wouldn’t suggest this place to get “amazing” Hawaiian food....More

Great Restaurant

Everything we ordered was tasty. The best was the squid luau. Also had garlic shrimp and poke. Service was excellent. On Friday night got seated immediately, service staff came by often and the food came out quickly.

True Hawaiian Food

This place was recommended to us by some locals and it was good! I had the KimChee fried rice and it was spicy but good. You could probably split any meal here with someone. Our service was a little slow but overall we were satisfied.

Hawaiian Cuisine

I am not how to rate this place that came highly recommended. I think Hawaiian cuisine as perhaps it is a taste that is acquired. We have the lau lau as everyone was raving about it. It is steamed pulled pork in leaves (taro?). It...More

Diner style Hawaiian food

Good local flavours at a reasonable price. The kahula pork, chicken long rice(noodle soup) Lau, and taro sundae are particularly good.

Great food and service...4.5

Poi By The Pound is a clean and well maintained restaurant that serves great food. We had the Kalbi Steak and the Kalua Pork with Cabbage.... both had great taste. Their poi was as good as we have ever had.... not too sour, almost sweet...More

My family and I had a great experience when going with our grand kids. We did not experienced any problems. What we did was to order the food for the kids at first right away before any adult in our group.
