Whether you are staying in a Kihei Condo or a Hawaiian Vacation Hotel, Maui can certainly be expensive. Plus you can easily end up in a tourist trap and spend good money for bad food. Being an artist I always look for clean food on a budget. Here are some of my favs.
1. Wok Star - This brand new international noodle shop just opened in Kalama Village at the corner of South Kihei and Halalani Place near Foodland. I love the udon noodle and my husband, Bob, likes the Indonesian peanut sauce. Pick your noodle, sauce and protein. Starts at $9.
Address: 1913 S. Kihei Rd., Kihei, HI 96753 Phone: (808) 495-0066 Cuisine: Asian, Chinese, Thai Hours: 7 am to Midnight Daily
2.Jawz - Tried and true. Clean Mexican with a wonderful array of fixings at their salsa bar. I am not crazy about their fish but I do enjoy their enchilada pie and soft corn tacos with steak. Located at the back of Azeka’s II 1279 South Kihei Road. Air conditioned, which is a plus in Kihei. Most items under $10.
Address: 1279 S Kihei Rd Kihei, HI 96753-5228 Phone: (808) 874-8226 Cuisine: Grill Hours: 11 am to 9 pm daily; Happy Hour 3 pm to 6 pm Monday through Saturday
3. Sansei - Yes, sushi can be expensive but you have to know when the locals go to get the dakine deal. On Sunday and Monday, sushi appetizers and entrees are 50% off from 5 to 6pm and 25% off on Tuesday through Saturday from 5:30 to 6pm. Be sure to get there no later than 4:30, or even earlier during season. Bring a beach chair and a book or enjoy meeting local people all waiting on line and happy about eating a great meal at a killer price. On Thursday, Friday, and Saturday after 10pm, sushi and appetizers are 50% off plus they offer drink specials. Free Karaoke at night which can be a mixed blessing.
Address: 1881 S Kihei Rd Kihei, HI 96753 Phone: (808) 879-0004 Cuisine: Seafood and Sushi Hours: Dinner nightly

Last time we were in Maui,We like the atmosphere large, clean, and lovely decor.Waitress was very attentive and friendly, and we both enjoyed our entrees . We must have arrived late as the restaurant was empty and the staff was eating dinner. But they gladly seated us and waited for us patiently as we enjoyed our meal.
Great advice for Maui travel deals
