I feel like I lucked out finding Shibiz, stumbling upon a new and upcoming food creative. After a week in Maui, bouncing around shorelines and food markets, Shibiz shines the brightest for me.
Inside the Saturday Swap Meet you’ll find a pop up tent with a 4×4 Toyota Hiace parked next to it. There’s not a lot of flair or pizazz with Shibaz, and that’s a good thing, because the focus is rightfully on the food, with dishes that are handsomely and thoughtfully created by this husband and wife team. Mom runs the register, dad builds the bowls, and the kids get to run around and be kids. It’s a wholesome thing to witness.
After a week’s worth of excellent food, I figured this ahi katsu bowl was gonna be good, but I didn’t know how good it would be. The ahi tuna was perfectly seared around the edges and nicely battered, with a soft and cool center that tastes super fresh. The poor thing was probably out swimming that morning before being pulled up and filleted for our pleasure. And let’s not forget that the fish was laid delicately upon a balanced bed of sticky rice and curry, with some brightly pickled ginger, crunchy fresh greens, and a delightful house made katsu sauce to bring it all together.
Bite for bite, it was the best food I’ve put in my mouth whilst on Maui. Shibiz is the real deal, and the family should feel proud of the path they’re on. This is a MUST eat for locals and visitors alike. I expect this place to blow up, so it’s best to get there early before they run out.
Mahalo, guys, and best of luck!

Shekinah, Justin and their sweet keiki are the best!! We go to sunday market JUST for shibiz. We’ve tried just about everything on their menu and haven’t tried anything we didn’t absolutely love! The quality, the presentation, the freshness and the taste of the food is to die for. *Bonus, when you support them, you’re supporting a family, local fishermen & most importantly, supporting LOCAL! Definitely recommend to anyone. My personal fav is the dynamite musubi & fresh poi mochi!

My family and I found Shibiz Maui at the Maui Swap Meet in Kahului, and the food was so good we had to come back again at the Maui Sunday Market. This is easily some of the best food on Maui.
Their poke bowls are incredibly fresh with generous portions, but the highlight for me was the Ahi Katsu. It was the best Ahi Katsu I’ve had in Hawaii. Perfectly crispy on the outside, tender in the middle, and paired with their house katsu sauce and garnishes. My kids loved the Dynamite Spam Musubi, and the Poi Mochi was the perfect way to end the meal.
Bonus: Shibiz Maui also offers private catering, making them an awesome choice for events and gatherings on Maui.
Huge mahalo to Justin and Shekinah for bringing such great flavors to Kahului and Maui. If you’re looking for poke bowls, Ahi Katsu, and some of the best eats on Maui, Shibiz Maui is a must-try. 10/10 recommend.

LOVE SHIBIZ❣️ Every dish is thoughtfully prepared, incredibly flavorful, and beautifully presented. We’ve hired them for catering and our guests were so impressed. The chef & his ‘ohana are also wonderful to coordinate with.
If you’re looking to support local and enjoy something delicious, highly recommend Shibiz Maui!

Justin’s execution is next level. Tonight I tried the Ahi Katsu and the plate disappeared before I even thought about taking a picture. It’s always awesome to see a beautiful local family serving top notch gourmet style meals with Hawaiian style at its finest. Go check out shibiz to experience the pure Aloha served in every dish. Mahalo for that amazing dinner.

WOWZA – YUM!! Their Ahi Tacos are SO SO DELICIOUS. And Dynamite Musubi plus fresh Poke, And Katsu! And even mochi dessert too. You can find them at the Saturday Maui Swap Meet – across the street from the MACC. This is a local family-owned business and the amount of compassion and dedication to their food and service really demonstrates their commitment to quality and serving up the freshest ingredients for the local community! I was SO impressed that I just hired them to cater our house party! So excited!! Mahalo to the owners – Justin and Shekinah Cantere.
