Kamaaina special, half off all food from 5-6 or 8-9 pm.... Or any time at the bar . So worth the price.... Awesome quality food. Awesome free bread too with edamame hummus .

Fancy resort dining can feel a little boring for the price. These guys are pretty good! Make a heck of a Thanksgiving plate.

Maui---It's All About Lifestyle

Executive Chef Tylun Pang's restaurant may be Wailea best kept dining secret. Hawaiian, Chinese, Korean, and Japanese flavors combine into cuisine inspired by the sugarcane plantation era. Read more

One of my favorite kama'ania deals on the island . Giant salad , excellent steaks and also a whole vegan and rawest for those who are hard to eat out with

Susan Russo

The sushi on the rock is exceptional for an appetizer . If you're looking for a tropical drink that isn't overly sweet, try the Lilokai margarita , which is refreshingly tart and tangy .

A must try: Absolutely delecious to the eye and pallet. Description from the Ko menu: Ohana Style Kō Pupu: Kobe Beef Poke , Crispy Calamari , Chicken and Mushroom Lumpia

Food is good, but for the price it should be great. Server was very friendly and pleasant but could have been more attentive to detail, e.g., refilling wine . Had to send back catch and lemon grass .

Elmo Flis

Great selection of Vegetarian items. There is a mix of cooking styles and influences to choose from, mostly from east Asia.

Trudy Peterson

Kō celebrates the many cultures of the era serving Hawaiian, Chinese, Filipino, Portuguese, Korean, and Japanese menu items with an innovative twist.

Katarina Tualemoso

Veggie tempura light flavorful, hearty, an oxymoron? Yes, but it works!

Steph Katrina

Delicious, fresh fish . Knowledgeable and friendly staff .

Duane Nicholson

Based in the expense , you would think everything was great. Pano crusted snapper was okay. Definitely needed some seasoning.

Jenny

Oishi sushi and taste of tofu are the best appetizers some of the best food I have ever had

Angela Wangela

Thinking of happy hour here? If you can wait until 5, go to Nick 's Fishmarket instead. Food and service at Nick 's happy hour is so much better.

Roberto

For same price point the experience at Grand Wailea or Duo is much nicer.

Lisa O

The drinks and apps were much better than the entrees

Brian F.

While decent food, get in your car and go to MonkeyPod. Better quality and service for almost half the price. And in Wailea too!

Steve Feeley

Sunset menu. $39 for 3 courses 5:30-6:30pm

Paul Bryan

Miso soup is legit. A bit pricey though?

JFP

Food is great, but guitarist was ridiculously loud

Kevin McNeish

Oishu Sushi

Skip Ko and go to Nicks for happy hour . Ko is stuffy and the food is mediocre.

Sobe Noodles off the chain.
