We have stayed at the Kea Lani three times, but this was our first time dining at Ko. We had some stand out meals on Maui -- Mama's Fish House, Nick's, Gannon's, but the meal at Ko was the BEST. The fish is so amazingly fresh, and we loved that we could have it prepared one of five ways. The... More

Everything we ate (steamed Ono, spring rolls, lobster tempura, cheesecake) was divine. Service was poor - slow and inattentive. If service had been on par with food, this would have been an exceptional experience. Either way, it was our best experience in Wailea.

Such an enjoyable dining experience, we went back the next night too. Beautiful setting and decor! The service was exceptional with friendly, kind servers who catered to every request. Being gluten free, they went out of their way to accommodate me with homemade delicious rice crackers, gluten free soy sauce for their mouth watering sushi, etc....the food was very fresh... More

The wonderful sunshine, service, great ambiance, and beauty of this special place was amazing. During the time we were there we visited the Ko restaurant twice. What an experience! The food was very diverse, beautifully presented,and... More

I live on Maui, but had not been to Ko since it opened (or reopened) within the last year. I had heard they offered a great Kamaaina discount, so decided to take visitors there for lunch. Sometimes when you book a table at a restaurant that offers a discount, they make you feel like they don't really want to serve... More

We had dinner one night at Ko, the young hostess was not friendly and gave us a bad table. There was a cat in the bushes that kept trying to lean in and I thought at one point he was going to pounce on our food. I am an animal lover but I felt the staff should have done something... More

I live on Maui Hawaii and frequently meet my friends at Ko's and love to take guests there for dinner & drinks. The Bar area is open, spacious and has an awesome view. If locals eat there, you KNOW the food is stellar. The dining area is outdoors and also has a fabulous view. The Pupu menu (appetizers) is extensive... More
