I can’t recommend this place enough!! It is so delicious and also so affordable. Definitely go for breakfast. We visited twice while on our vacation. The pancakes are HUGE and can be split between two people. The dinner is also very good. Both of my kids had the Portuguese Sausage Carbonara and loooooved it! My husband loved the smoked meat plate.

Located in the cannery mall between Safeway and Starbucks, Kalei’s might be easy to miss but a visit is certainly recommended. Interior is bright, clean and modern and the food is really good. Prices are very reasonable.
The smoked meat plate was unique and tasted quite good. Their brussel sprouts withhurricane sauce was the highlight of the meal. Not exactly healthy but the sauce and sprouts tasted fantastic (there was some bitterness from the brussel sprout though). Portions are generous and they have some good deals. When we there they were selling a burger with fries and a bowl of saimin for $12. Chicken katsu was fried well and not greasy.
One little quirk is that you order and pay from the front counter. You can sit down at a table and decide what you want to eat bit you have to walk bacl to the front desk to order.
From what I saw Kaleis seems to cater to locals and people eat here and leave fairly quickly. Thats a shame. With its clean modern decor and good food, Kaleis is nice place for tourists to eat and hang out.

So good! A local told us to go here instead of the cafe across the street (iykyk). This place was REALLY good. We got the chantilly Mac nut pancakes which were HUGE and fluffy. We also got the Kalei’s breakfast which had two eggs, Portuguese sausage and we upgraded to fried rice. Da Bento which was a really good deal and it came with really good fried spam, mochiko chicken and tasty teri beef. Highly recommend!

Sorry for the photos, I forget the camera eats first ! I had the Ono ala Kaleis with a green salad rather than the Mac salad. When the plates arrived, I smelled the freshness of food. The papaya dressing rocked. The Ono was reminiscent of picata with mushrooms and cherry tomatoes. Impressive. My wife had the Big Kahuna. Fried Ono, breaded chicken breast, and a hamburger “steak” w / brown gravy. She said everything was good, but the fish was best. The restaurant itself was clean and had plenty of seating. Portion size was exactly right. Try this restaurant!

This place is amazing! We have went twice and will go again. Wednesday, they had ribs, oh my, I can’t say enough about how good they are. Employees are very friendly and attentive. Try the cheesecake, it is SO good. Large portions, my husband and I split a plate and also got a side of onion rings, which were delicious. Highly recommend.

Loveley staff. Large menu with both breakfast and dinner offerings. So many choices and it’s very authentic island food offerings. Really really good stuff. Will go back on our next visit to the island. Reasonably priced compared to other options on the island as well. We are there twice during it stay. Once for breakfast, and another for dinner.

Not a full service restaurant. You order at the front desk and they give you a number and you find a table to sit and eat.
Large variety of food selection with local specials. Fairly affordable as per Maui rates.
Food was okay to taste.
Breakfast menu is pretty good too.
Overall worth trying atleast once.

I’ve had breakfast and early dinner. Great food at a great price. Highly recommend this place. What a refreshing find compared to the over priced alternatives on the island. Wish I’d tried it sooner during my vacation.

Great service and a nice space. The food came out very quickly and was clearly hot and fresh. The Chicken Katsu was crispy and the regular was a large portion but we didn’t love the sauce and it was different from typical Katsu sauce that we are used to. The Loco Moco had good patties and fried rice (upgrade) but the gravy was just ok.

An amazing place where you feel care at the moment passing front door. Delicious and tasty food, big portions, and not for the whole money you have in your pocket! Recommend
