Huli Huli Chicken

When you drive the road to Hana you have to resist the temptation to stop at all the many roadside trucks and stands along the way. Be patient and wait for Uncle Russell's Huli Huli Chicken. Hot and juicy, and a substantial portion. We ate at provided picnic tables in a rustic setting as the waves rolled over the dramatic jagged coastline. Felt I got a full $16 worth, best lunch on Maui. A great turn around point for the journey back if you like going back the way you came. For us it was a great refueling point for the continued journey around the south side of Haleakala where the most amazing coastline awaited along with the most difficult and harrowing stretch of road. You came this far on the road to Hana, but you are about to start the really difficult part of the drive. Timed right we came to the easier part of rosd just into the beauty of the setting sun against the south Maui shoreline.⁸

Loved it! $18 for a chicken plate that (chicken, rice and 2 salads) fed 2 of us comfortably for lunch. Salads were very tasty, and chicken was fantastic! Lots of parking, and beautiful spot at the red sand beach with a gorgeous view. Would definitely stop here again. Has several picnic tables to sit and eat, or can take to go. Recommend sitting and enjoying the view!

Owners were so nice and wonderful to us, definitely spreading the Aloha. We got the huli huli chicken combo, and the serving was generous. It was enough to feed two people and still have some left over. It was a very enjoyable meal (ribs, chicken and salad were good), with the red beach and waves in the background. I'm glad I stopped here on the road to hana. Definitely one to remember.

Alright- full disclosure. I was expecting phenomenal food, after hearing Gordon Ramsey rave about it. Don't get me wrong, it's good, but I can't give it 5 stars. The pork dish also, is 4 stars rather than 5 stars. Still a great place to stop and eat lunch during the Road to Hana adventure. The beach at this spot has beautiful red sand, and a beach-comber vibe. It's worth the stop, and a good meal - even at $20. But it won't be winning any chicken Master Chef awards.

I wouldn't say this is the best Huli Huli chicken on island but they are pretty good. Chicken was lightly smoked & very tender. Wish there was a bit more flavored. It is located on the Red Sand beach called Koki beach which made the atmosphere excellent! Glad we got there around 3 pm b/c they sold out of chicken soon after that & only had ribs left. Cash only.
