I got the "rice bowl." This comes with spam fried rice, veggies, and your choice of meat. I chose the garlic shrimp, of course. The shrimp were big, yummy, and cooked well. They definitely could have been more garlicky though. The spam fried rice was yummy. The components all came together well when I drizzled the sauce on top.
As a military family coming from Hawai'i, we know authentic Hawaiian food--and Maui on Main delivers! The kalua pig was incredible--rich in flavor, melt-in-your-mouth tender, and not greasy at all. Just amazing. The garlic shrimp instantly took us back to the North Shore. If you've had the famous shrimp there, you'll find the same delicious, garlicky perfection right here. The spam fried rice was cooked to perfection--not mushy, not too firm, just the right texture with great flavor. And the mac salad? Perfectly balanced. The pasta was cooked just right, and it wasn't overpowered by mayo like some places tend to do. I'm not exaggerating--this is hands-down some of the best Hawaiian food we've had outside of Hawai'i! The service was amazing and the owner came and greeted our group. ALOHA!
Food was absolutely delicious! Big portions and great prices! The customer service was spectacular, it was our first time and we were blown away with both the food and service, will definitely be back ecstatic to have another diverse local spot in the rotation!
So very 1st time here and I've passed this place up several times in the past. So I had to for lunch in the outdoors & the Sun Helpful Friendly staff members & lively spot on the corner. I had the Big Daddy Special & waited outside for my grub to come. There was some customers already eating outside & enjoying their food. So I decided to join in As I was ordering up, a SAPD Officer came in to pickup some food & I took care of his TOGO bill for him Gotta support Our Blue This Big Daddy Sandwich was Delicious with Pulled Pork & Toppings on Fresh Bread Yummy The French Fries we're just Okay Some of them weren't cooked thoroughly through But the Sandwich & Service plus Atmosphere made up for this mishap. The next time that I come, I'll ask to have Fries Crispy or maybe have another side dish One Suggestion that I have is to play some Hawaiian Reggae Music while dining outside
Delicious food, good service, inside dining area is small but it was a beautiful day outside when we visited. we ate outside and it area is huge and relaxing. Portions were generous my wife and I shared a 2 entree plate and 1 musubi.
As someone born & raised in Hawai'i, I can say that this is definitely the place to go when you're missing home & some local food nothing compares to home, but it was close enough for me! The food was good & I loveddd that they were playing some Maoli outside on the patio, that really set the vibe. I got the teriyaki chicken plate w/ a teriyaki spam musubi & my boyfriend got the loco moco. There were some very minor "flaws" I guess you could say; the mac salad was a little too sweet with the pasta a little overcooked, the rice was a little undercooked, and the teriyaki sauce was a little different than what we're used to. But like I said, those are just minor flaws and the food tasted like home regardless. So glad that I found this place, whenever I'm missing home I'll be back
Staff here were so nice and accommodating! I arrived 10 minutes before close and they were nice enough to make which ever dishes they could with the time they had. Sad because I wanted to try much more but I'd definitely return for the service alone. I was able to get 3 meats (pig, teriyaki beef, and garlic shrimp) over spam fried rice with white rice and the macaroni.
Excellent new Hawaiian restaurant near downtown San Antonio. The Tiki style restaurant features a Hawaiian themed patio, luau music, and a small indoor seating area. The restaurant and staff is very welcoming. Their menu offers great cornerstone Hawaii bites for a fair price! I was happy to try this restaurant while visiting home from LA. My grandma and girlfriend accompanied me and came by around Friday at 8PM. There was plenty seating and a short wait time for our entrees to come out. The amount of food for the price is generous and the quality of plate was amazing. Their shrimp and chicken were very good. And the Mac salad was fair. The sauce brought the plate together and was a hit for my Hawaiian craving. The Food was a solid 4.5/5 and the Ube shake was good but could have had stronger Ube flavor. Their ambiance, serving sizes, and service was the real winner and made me happy to try this spot. I'd definitely consider coming back on more trips to SA
We read the reviews and we had mixed thought but we had very high hopes! We saw they got very busy and that they had a way to order ahead so, we did just that! We ordered our food and pick a time of 11AM for a Saturday. We arrived around 10:55am that Saturday and sat in the eating area, we were greeted by the young lady working behind the counter and also by the owner who came an talked to us and gave us both a fist bump! 11AM on the dot our food came in we grabbed our drinks and a mochi cake (extra)! We decided to sit outside as it was a beautiful morning. So we began to dig in! Right away my wife noticed the order was wrong with our 3 meat plate... they gave us teriyaki chicken ILO teriyaki beef but she was hungry and didn't want to wait for new food. The chicken was pretty dry and she did not enjoy it, The shrimp were delicious no complaints there and the Kalua Pork was just missing flavor but sriracha always helps! The mac salad was very tasty and the fried rice yummy! The 2nd thing we got was a burger and with all the toppings it was really tasty but the burger it self plain. Highlight of the burger was the bun, soft, sweet and just perfect. The fries were cooked well and had a good seasoning! That seasoning should have been used on the burger!! We also order a Loko Moco! One of my favorite Hawaiian dishes! It was cooked well, eggs runny and lots of gravy but again no flavor.... The mochi cake was pretty good, slightly sweet and chewy like it should be. All in all it was a good experience but the food was lacking flavor as others have also said... Maui's is about 35 minutes from home so, I don't see us travelling all the way back for Hawaiian food.
Best Hawaiian food in San Antonio! The staff is knowledgeable, friendly, and very helpful. Usually, Hawaiian food places put rice in the dish as tasteless filler. Here at Maui on Main, wonderful spices are noticeable in every bite. My family and I are already talking about what we want to order on our next visit. I believe Maui on Main will become one of our few regular eateries.
