Poi By The Pound, LLC The ONLY Authentic Hawaiian Restaurant on Maui 430 Kele Street, Kahului HI 96732
Reviewed By lwj
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 and very smooth.If there was one thing that could be improved on, it would be the amount of time that it took to get our food... over 30 minutes for our dishes to arrive at the table.

Like Poke? is a fantastic food truck for poke!!!! I loved the basic poke cup, and my husband got the spicy fried poke - which was amazing as well!!! The food truck is in a food truck "row" where there are 5-6 food trucks, and a nice covered area to eat right next to it. Highly recommend!

This great local and Filipino style restaurant serves up some good breakfast and lunch dishes and a decent price. They serve up classic breakfast offerings, local favorites, as well as some classic Filipino fares.The food was all prepared fresh and from time of order to serving came at a good speed. Everything was nicely plated and the coffee kept pouring. It was well staffed, so attentive service was of no issue. The grab a menu and self seating made for a quicker dinning experience and very desirable while on vacation and just wanting to get in and out for our site seeing on the island after we ate.Enjoyed 3 mornings of different dishes each day. Some unique dishes that we enjoyed were the Shrimp and Ahi Fried Poke Eggs Benedict which were basically a eggs benedict with a side of fried poke which was very good. I really enjoyed the Luau Omelette with the kalua pork filling and a side of lomi lomi salmon which I put on top of the omelette like salsa. One tip I have is pass on the country potatoes and ask for a fruit cup substitute. It balanced things out much better. If you want to try the Filipino dishes, don't worry, they are not weird and very tasty. The Longanisa Fried Rice with eggs on top was great and the a couple others that are different, but not all that strange, so take a change and enjoy the different flavors.However, if you need to play it safe, the Crabcake & Avocado Eggs Benedict and the Salmon Bagel Sandwich are good as well. They also offer the traditional griddle items as well such as pancakes.All the staff are very friendly and attentive. It isn't fine dinning, but a good restaurant that beats Denny's any day. This was our second experience at this restaurant after 5 years from our last vacation in Maui and it has held up which is nice to see as a lot small independent restaurants don't last over time.I do recommend this place and look forward to eating there again when ever we return to Maui next.
