Local diner with classic American and Hawaiian options. Came here for a late lunch prior to going to Haleakala. I ordered the saimin with veggies and my friend had a tuna melt. We split a Kona mud pie as well. Credit cards are accepted as well as cash. You pay at the register once you’ve received your check. This felt like a homey, local spot. We enjoyed our meal and its cool to see that places with reasonably priced food still exists. There was free parking in the front and back.

The kind of hometown super local diner your grandma and grandpa would go to every friday. NOT food truck creative, not fancy tourist trap, not hip haute cuisine....just a diner. Simple, delicious, and when you sit down you feel like you're a local in this historic Maui town.

Sweet restaurant. There are tourists but imma gonna say it’s a locals place cuz there were won’t of them and the vibe was that way. It’s old but it’s clean. Food was yum. They have a parking lot which makes it even easier. What staff super friendly and fairly quick. Order st the table with waitress, get a tab, then pay st the register; like diner style. So if you want to leave a tip but pay by credit card, they ask you how much tip and add it to the bill they ring up, then clip the cash to the check. Interesting. Good prices for amount of food!
Fried rice with an egg. Egg was good. Fried rice kinda bland. Overall together was good.
Loco Moco. Good! Two scoop rice and one scoop Mac salad.
Chicken katsu. Very good! Seemed like big portion.
Boneless Korean rib. Not great. I was expecting more flavor like Kalbi. And it loses something without the bone.
Mac nut pancake. Average.
Liver with onions and bacon. I was told this was very good. I didn’t try cuz I’m not a fan of liver.

As local as they come and as good as they get, Tasty Crust Cafe is a no frills restaurant serving local Hawaaian eats and at a cheap(er) price than most. Parking is a bit tight as there’s not too much space around so beware of that. Once you enter, you immediately know you’re in a local spot. The place itself is a bit older but it has a charm that you won’t find amongst the over-tourism of Western Maui. We were seated for a party of 5 promptly and service was good.
The food was pretty good, we expected a more homemade/traditional meal and that’s what we got. We got orders of the Loco Moco and chicken katsu, the menu is a bit small so prepare for that. The Loco Moco was the best we had on the trip. Savory and well balanced, the hamburger tasty, the rice delicious, the gravy savory. The mac salad was also good, just a hit all around. The chicken katsu was good but not great, lightly breaded and juicy but not too flavorful. Still a good meal regardless of anything and it is great to support a local spot and feel like you’re part of the island and not someone just visiting. If you’re in the Wailuku/Kahului area, definitely consider stopping by for a quick and delicious meal.

Iconic restaurant that I hope never closes! We go there from time to time mostly to eat breakfast items - hotcakes, waffles, biscuits and also for items that are hard to find at other places - luncheon meat and beef liver. Workers are pleasant and quick.Very no frills kind of place, but kept clean.
