808 Reviews 808 Reviews is a collection of articles, editorials, and reviews written specifically to help you get the most out of your Hawaiian vacation.

Whether you have been here before and consider yourself ‘kama’aina’ or if this is your first trip to the islands, 808 Reviews is your single source for information about restaurants, activities, shopping, sightseeing, and everything there is to do in Hawaii. We know how challenging it can be to make vacations plans – especially if the culture is a little different than what you are used to. While

the Hawaiian culture is different from the mainland, there are some similarities. What you really need is a local expert to show you around. Someone who knows the best places to eat, the best places to shop, the best beaches and the secret surf spots. You also need someone willing to share this information with you.

808 Reviews is your local connection to the Hawaiian Islands. We are local writers with first hand experience with the restaurants, activities, stores, and services we write about. Some of us have lived on the mainland and moved here after falling in love with island life, others have never left the island on which they were born. But we all have one thing in common – we love Hawaii and we want to share our home with you. We know you depend on us to give you the inside scoop and we want to help you decide what to do and where to go before you get here. If you’re already here, we can help you get the most out of your vacation by recommending places to go and things to do. We will let you know where you need to make advance reservations and where you can go with short notice. As you read the reviews, make sure you check out the 808 Reviews Visitor’s Tips that accompany our major articles. The tips will help you save money, and get the most out of your vacation. This way, you can experience Hawaii like the locals do. So visit us often and read up on the places you would like to go, the things you would like to do, and the places you would like to eat. We promise to do our best to provide you with up to date information that will help you get the most out of your visit to the islands. And while you’re here, feel free to add your comments to any article you like. You can also send an email to most of the places we write about. Mahalo and Aloha,

This was my favorite Burger of the Month so far this year!

This was my favorite Burger of the Month so far this year!

Easily the best burger of the month since January 2014, September’s BOM, “The Seoul Train” and its vegetarian counter part, “Center your Chi!” have just the right combination of savory and sweet. Both burgers feature Cool Cat’s own home-made teriyaki sauce and are topped with grilled onions and pine…

March 2014 was a creative month for the Burgers of the Month at Cool Cat’s in Lahaina Maui Hawaii. Both the veggie burger and the beef burger featured baby spinach, goat cheese, grilled peaches (yes, you read that right, “PEACHES!”), sauteed onions, and balsamic drizzle served between two slices of…

I'd never been to Koa's before, so I was looking forward to the experience. A friend recommended this place to me, and it's on Front Street, with an ocean view, so how can you go wrong? The first impression I get upon entering is that if the food is anything as good as the view,…

Upon entering Captain Jack's, I am treated to a fun atmosphere and a view of Front St., the local park, and the Banyan Tree that is unparalleled in Lahaina. It's a nicely-kept plantation house common here, reminiscent of the sugar cane harvesting days, and truly adds to the swashbuckling ambience. I...

Located on the makai side of Front Street with an unparalleled view of the island of Lana’i sits a gem of a restaurant with food as good as the view. I had the pleasure of trying a few items from their dinner menu the other evening and really enjoyed the experience. The menu is expansive…

This month we have the pleasure of introducing you to our newest writer Kiki Nobriga and her take on July’s Burger of the Month at the Cool Cat Cafe.

Breakfast at Koa's Seaside Grill was delicious. It's like going to The Gazebo, but in Lahaina.

Breakfast at Koa's Seaside Grill was delicious. It's like going to The Gazebo, but in Lahaina.

When you walk into Koa’s Seaside Grill, the first thing you notice is the view. It’s an incredible view of the Pacific Ocean and the Hawaiian Island of Lanai. On the morning we went for breakfast, the waves were huge and we had a fantastic experience. Our hostess escorted us to our table along the…

Ask just about any local where the best sushi on Maui is and you’ll get the same answer: The best sushi on Maui is at Sansei’s. On the west side of Maui, Sansei’s is located in Kapalua, about 20 minutes north of Lahaina Towne, Sansei Seafood Restaurant & Sushi Bar serves a variety of entrees,…

My son’s response when I asked him if he would like to accompany me on another tasting of Cool Cat’s burger of the month was that of a typical teenager. “No thanks, Dad,” he said. “I think I’ll pass this time.” “You sure?” I asked him. “The beef burger’s gonna be a little spicy with…

Crying Thaiger Maui has delicious Thai Food. They are located across from the Westin Villas in Ka'anapali.

Across the highway from airport beach at the Ka’anapali Station of the Sugar Cane Train is a new farmer’s market featuring the Crying Thaiger Maui food truck. It’s the home of the best (and hottest) Thai food on the west side. As you drive along the highway, you can see the Crying Thaiger Maui food…
