Minit Stop (233 Piikea Ave Piilani Village Shopping Center)

Came in a half hour before store was closing, I was patiently waiting for the serviced. One of the ladies (this particular one seems to be rude to me all the time regardless of how polite I try to be) asks me what I want, I state that I would like to order some food to which she rudely snaps back “what type of food, we are out of chicken”. I’m an exhausted health care hospital worker coming off a tiresome shift looking to get something to eat before bed as I barely had time to do so during the day due I was caught so off guard by the reaction that I exhaustedly thanked them and just left. This particular woman has been rude to me in multiple occasions unprovoked. I would understand I was being disrespectful which wasn’t the case at all. It’s like she is upset that customers come into the store. I’m so confused as to why I was treated in such a manner.

My spouse and I were at Kamaole Beach in Kihei for sunset and decided to grab dinner from "somewhere" as we were in the mood for fried chicken. Not many places came to mind except for Zippy's, which has a tasty product. I went online to price it, and needless to say it's outrageous what they charge for chicken. Then, good ol' Minit Stop popped in my noggin. I haven't had their chicken in years, so why not? Plus, it was sold for a reasonable price. ATMOSPHERE: This store is located in Piilani Village Center where Safeway Kihei and Maui's only Outback and Ruby Tuesday restaurants are. It's by far the most spacious Minit Stop I've been to which also sports a gas station that takes HFN (Hawaii Fueling Network) gas cards in addition to public consumer sales. The inside was clean, cool and organized. There was even a small table for dine-in patrons. MENU: Fried chicken in all parts including wingettes, potato wedges, plate lunches. FOOD: 12 Piece Fried Chicken Box The box automatically comes with 7 thighs and 5 drumsticks, my two favorite parts of the bird. I am not a breast man lol. The chicken were perfectly seasoned, crispy, juicy and cooked all the way to the bone. Worlds better than Zippy's, KFC and Popeye's. I forgot how delicious they were and will definitely patronize them more. Highly recommended for the fried chicken fan! SERVICE: I phoned in my order and it was ready and waiting for us by the time we got there 10 minutes later. The female worker in the kitchen was very friendly and pleasant. TIP: Definitely call in your order for the fried chicken boxes as they sometimes run out or stop making them at a certain point. The kitchen and food display cases were all empty and cleaned when I got there around 7:30pm, so she must've threw some in the fryer for me. Thanks, eh! OVERALL: IMO, the tastiest fried chicken money can buy. 5 stars!

I'm not really sure what has happened to the chicken but for at least two years I have noticed a huge difference in the quality (at every location). ,The chicken is always over cooked, the tuna salad was so dry that I had to add mayo and seasoning to it at home. It just looked and tasted like it was just tuna right out of the can. The chicken thighs are smaller than the drumsticks. How is that even possible? Please fix it you all were the best chicken on island before.
