We had heard good things about TJ's and drove over there on a late afternoon to stock up on food over the weekend. Very wide assortments of bentos and bento fixings including a good chicken Katsu and garlic chicken. In addition to the premade bentos you can go through a hot table and order ala carts and pay by quart or pint sizes. Plus they take credit cards. There is also an impressive display case of poke but we didn't try any.

3. Miko Cuisine
Reviewed By MauiWorldTravelers
Wailuku's newest eatery has opened in the former Asian Star spot in the Millyard industrial area.ATMOSPHERE:They've done a much needed interior refreshening since taking over. Gone are the dreary white walls and tacky decor. Welcomed are warm, inviting colors and a bigger population of dining homo erectus, giving the place life again. Unfortunately (IMO), they offer karaoke during dining hours which was the only negative thing as it's super annoying. To make matters worse, the person attempting to sing refused to standup and sing so the microphone kept making that obnoxious feedback noise which he seemed to enjoy and kept on doing it. Come on!?MENU:Mixed cuisine of apps, salads, sushi, local Hawaii fare, ramen, Korean dishes, Chinese dishes. Currently, only items highlighted with pen marks are available to order.FOOD:Banchan - These were on the house. Six small plates came neatly presented in the middle of our table. We received some kind of green vegetable that tasted like blanched broccolini done in sesame oil and sprinkled with cheese (?), two types of kim chee that looked spicy but were not, a savory green ocean salad-like veggie, chewy kim chee squid cut into sticks and my least favorite which were uncut kim chee-flavored green onions.Gyoza - $8.50. About eight pieces came on the plate, all perfectly deep fried and stuffed full with a pork mixture. The dipping sauce was really good which was a soy-based sauce with chili notes but not spicy. Highly recommended!Rainbow Roll - $15.50. My friend loves sushi so this was his order. This is basically a California roll but topped with fresh fish which were salmon, ahi and hamachi. He said it was "okay" so I guess it's not the best he's had.Kim Chee Pancake - The owner of Miko's knew one of my friends so this was on the house. I didn't see it listed on the menu but I'm sure they can make it any time. From how it was presented, I think they drizzle the kim chee pieces in actual pancake batter then throw it on the griddle, similar to a Japanese okonomiyaki. The taste was really good with savory notes while the bits of pancake batter added texture and held everything together.Spicy Pork Ribs - $24.95. About eight or so spare ribs came sitting atop a bed of raw onions. I'm not a huge rib fan but I really liked it. The flavor was mildly sweet and salty, but there was no spice to them at all. A bit pricey for the portion size.Nabeyaki Udon - $11.95. If you've read my reviews, you'll know that I am a total ramen/udon/noodle fanatic, so naturally I had to try their version. Instead of a traditional cast iron pot, they used a modern slate-colored steel pot that almost looked like plastic. It arrived hot but not searing like you'd get at Ichiban Kahului or Archie's. The broth was very mild, more savory with a hint of sweet. I added a swish of shoyu which helped a little, but didn't wow me at all. Toppings were a sunny side-up egg, shrimp tempura and an overkill of white onions. Meh. Sam Sun Jjamppong - $14.95 (item #254 on the menu). If you like spice or a kick, this is for you! It's like a seafood noodle soup with a spicy red broth, chocked full of seafood like shrimp and mussels. It's a big bowl good enough for a table to share as an app. Spicy Tuna Roll - $7.50. My spouse's dish. 8 pieces were yielded. The fish was abnormally bright red with a mashed-up consistency. He didn't care much for them and ate only 2 pieces.Crispy Chicken - $12.95. This item is listed on their single page menu, in which I ordered it because a previous Yelper reviewed it positively. It's half of a whole deep-fried chicken, seasoned and cooked perfectly. A sweet/savory/vinegary sauce comes with for dipping. Very good.Chicken Chow Mein - $12.95. The portion size is very generous. The noodles were thick and very al dente, with deep flavors of garlic and the taste of a well-seasoned wok. Some chicken bits were a bit burnt but gave off a nice charred note to the entire dish. Veggies were broccoli, cabbage, carrots, red and green bells and zucchini all done in a semi-thick gravy. Highly recommended.Shrimp & Vegetable Tempura - $19.95. I'm pretty sure these were homemade as the shrimp weren't super straight and came in a smooth and thick corn dog-like batter. While the flavors were good, it was a very mainstream dish. The dipping sauce was super bold compared to traditional tempura sauces. Pass.DESSERT:Fresh Orange & Pineapple - Someone here has a clever hand at carving! The orange was carved into a panda bear with its belly holding the hollowed out fruit, neatly diced and ready to be picked up via toothpicks. A sliver of pineapple was carved into what I believe was a bird with the pineapple top resembling tail feathers. I didn't see this on the menu but we received it at the end of our meal. Very unique!SERVICE:All the servers were helping each other out, so we had excellent service and were checked up on A LOT. If you have a birthday, they crank up the karaoke system, the servers come to your table, one with tambourine in-hand and serenade you.OVERALL:Great addition to the dead dining scene that is Wailuku town. Good food, great service. I will be back to try more!

Great lunch right after getting off airplane. Easily accessible Dairy Rd location.We loved the sushi roll special with tempura fried jalapeno slices. Scrumptious! Hubs loved his seafood stuffed fish. Great service at the bar. It's not a huge place, but they serve great food with good service. Simple and straightforward...not pricey or pretentious. Would stop here any time!

Restaurant Matsu is located in an area that is tucked away and not easily located by visitors to Maui. It is more of a place that locals visit.We stopped by for lunch and ordered our meals at the counter... the dishes were brought to our table.Very good tasting and a little high for what it was.... but that is Maui.
