We visited Da’ Kitchen our first night in Maui. It was located in a strip shopping mall in Kihei. The location and the setting are nothing special, but it was nice and casual for our first night as it had a walk up counter and served the local ‘plate lunch’ type meal. My husband ordered the kalau pork and I got the fried Mahi Mahi plate lunch. Both were served with a big scoop of rice and macaroni salad. It was a delicious meal. The Mahi Mahi was piping hot and served with a fabulous tarter sauce and the pork had a nice briny salty flavor that worked well with the rice. During our trip, we tried Aloha Mixed Plate (not recommended) and Honokowai Ozazuya Deli (okay). Da’ Kitchen was by far our favorite plate lunch place during the whole trip. I suggest taking it to go and driving a short distance north to eat at one of the beachside parks. It is definitely a must try – good price, huge servings (big enough to share), and great taste.
