    Best food on the beach walk for sure! Food is amazing service is just as good. Great dinner with views of the sunset. We went here a couple times during our stay on Maui and everything we ordered was outstanding! The best restaurant on Kaanapali beach!

    A great spot for dinner at sunset. We actually prefer Ulu Kitchen to Monkey Pod, which is also terrific.

    This was our first time dining with Ulu. The food was tasty, but very expensive - $24 for a small 2 egg omelette (only), and $7 for a single slice of toast; everything is ala carte. Beware, if you are cost conscious.

    Amazing dinner experience. Great ambience on the patio. Drinks delicious. Most memorable meal was the scallops. Although everything we ordered was good. Must make reservations.

    Extremely small sizes of main course. It would be the size of an appetizer at other restaurants.

    Food was amazing. Every dish we ordered..coconut shrimp, potstickers, lobster ravioli, burgers and steak…was so good. Location was great. Sadly the service started off great but declined as the evening continued. Our dinner plates were removed and it took about 35 minutes to get our desserts ordered. Then after about 20 more minutes we cancelled our desserts. I’m thinking they are understaffed. For the price point I expected better service. We will visit again in the future. Just hoping they will have the staffing issue worked out by then.
