    We had such a very nice dinner which started with being greeted by our very personable waiter Frank. He gave us some great suggestions. We ordered the barbecue ribs with a side of whipped purple, sweet potatoes to share. Coleslaw, ribs potatoes all were delicious. We ended the meal with the pineapple upside down cake, always a favorite.  The manager stopped by our table extending further welcome.  Really enjoyed the evening.

We look forward to welcoming you back for another fantastic experience! 🌺🍍✨ Mahalo!

    Really enjoyed the onion soup. The Braised Short ribs were very good too. Gotta try the Lemongrass Ginger Frost outstanding with coconut.

    Have enjoyed lunch while in Maui at the Gen. store for many years. We had a vegetarian with us -few options for him. His tofu burger missed the mark. The enchilada pie special served yesterday (March 26th) was excellent per my husband, as was the Mahi.

    Thank you for your continued support and for making us a part of your Maui visits over the years! We're glad to hear your husband enjoyed the enchilada pie special and mahi.

    The last few times we have been were definitely off. Food really well done (I do still miss lamb chops though). Attentive wait staff. This place used to be one our very favorites so this visit was certainly good enough to bring me back again.

    The best upcountry restaurant with exceptional culinary delights and highly professional staff. Warm, inviting, and friendly with a wonderful atmosphere of hospitality. Our first choice upcountry since Bev began this delicious legacy! The recent takeover has kept the authenticity of Maui Pacific Rim cuisine fresh and onolicious! Mahalo nui loa all around for our neighborhood gem! (Ian was our waiter and this young man could work in a Michelin 3 Star restaurant! We were very impressed!)
    Haliimaile General StoreResponded on March 25, 2025
    Mahalo nui loa for your heartfelt review! We’re honored to be your first choice in Upcountry and thrilled that you continue to enjoy the exceptional cuisine and warm hospitality that make this place special. We truly appreciate your kind words about Ian—he is indeed a gem, and we’ll be sure to share your compliments with him! We look forward to welcoming you back for more onolicious meals and memorable experiences. 🌺🍽️✨ Mahalo!
