Poi by the Pound
About
In Maui, Poi by the Pound operates at 214 Ho'okele St in Kahului, the town that serves as the island's main commercial and airport hub. The Ho'okele St position sits within Kahului's industrial and business district rather than on the resort coast.
As a restaurant, it serves plate-style local food, and the name points to poi, the pounded taro dish that anchors a traditional Hawaiian plate. A 4.7 out of 5 average across 327 reviews makes this one of the more heavily reviewed places to eat on Maui. Diners coming from Kihei, Wailuku, Paia or Makawao face a short drive, while Lahaina, Kaanapali, Wailea and Hana are further out. The business also runs a site at 808platesmaui.net.
First-time visitors should expect a casual, order-and-eat setup rather than table service, with the Kahului location suiting a stop on the way to or from the airport.
English and Hawaiian are both official languages in Hawaii, and Hawaiian words appear widely in place names across the islands. The Hawaiian monk seal and green sea turtle live in local waters and haul out on the beaches. Trade winds from the northeast bring most rain to the windward coasts, so the leeward side stays drier for most of the year.
