We were here for lunch on Dec 24th. Our first order was the mochiko chicken lunch plate., our daughter loved it.
So we decided to eat and ordered macadamia crusted lunch plate and a side order of fries.
Mochiko chicken- well made, good quantity of meat, crispy. We subbed teriyaki sauce with their Sriracha house sauce. C9mes with pasta salad not the potatoes and coconut coleslaw
Macadamia crusted Mahi- the filet tasted good- it is deepfried- a sprinkling of nuts.
But the portion size was extremely small- our filet was drastically thin. I personally felt the price is not worth it. The plate came filled with coconut coleslaw and comparatively a larger serving of rice. The mango pineapple sauce was good.
Fries- well seasoned and we're good.
Verdict- some dishes are very small portio so for the price. Yesterday for 25 $ we got a much bigger portion of Mahi at the paia fish market. This filet was 1/2 the size at best.

If you’re lucky enough to be in Kihei and you don’t stop at Coconuts, you’re doing it wrong. Absolute gem of a spot. As someone who knows the island rhythm, this place hits that perfect balance of laid-back local vibe and seriously good food.
The fish tacos? Unreal. Fresh, flavorful, and piled high like they actually want you to leave happy. Everything tastes like it was made with care, not just churned out for tourists.
But what really made the experience stand out was the people. Manager Pete is an absolute legend—warm, attentive, and the kind of guy who makes you feel like you’ve been coming here for years, even if it’s your first visit. You can tell he genuinely cares about both the guests and the team.
Great energy, great food, great people. This is the kind of place you come back to again and again. Mahalo, Coconuts 🤙

We arrived here for our dinner. I wanted to try their fish tacos which they’re famous for. We ordered mixed greens salad, coconut shrimp basket and fish tacos. The fish was really well seasoned and cooked. They gave us two big tacos in the order. The shrimp was tasty and crispy with a subtle sweetness. The sweet chili sauce it came with wasn’t that good. However, their tiger sauce present in every table, was fantastic. The fries were really crispy and fresh. The salad was fresh and crunchy. We got the papaya salad dressing which was a mild tasting sauce. They lived up to their name. We enjoyed our visit.

Great lunch here. The tacos are a must. They are large and messy. Best way to eat is to get a fork and easy about half of the taco stuffing, then use your hands to fold the taco.

We visited Coconut’s Fish Cafe at the Azeka Shopping Center on December 4th, 2025 around 6:00 PM, and honestly, we had a really nice time. The place was clean the moment we walked in — tables, floors, everything looked well taken care of. It has a simple, relaxed island vibe that makes you feel comfortable right away.
The service was quick, and the staff kept things moving smoothly even with a steady flow of people coming in. Our food came out faster than we expected, which was great.
We tried the Coconut Shrimp, the Kalua Pork Plate, and the Macadamia Nut Crusted Mahi Mahi Plate, along with Aloha Maid juice, guava nectar, and a soft drink. Everything tasted fresh, the portions were good, and the flavors were light and easy to enjoy.
Overall, we walked out happy. It’s a clean spot with fast service, decent flavors, and a laid-back feel a solid choice for a casual dinner in Kihei.
