OGO's Maui
About
A Filipino Kitchen in Central Maui
Stepping into OGO's Maui feels less like walking into a commercial eatery and more like pulling up a chair in a family kitchen. Located right in the bustling heart of Wailuku, this spot has become a local staple for those hunting down authentic Filipino comfort food that doesn't hold back on flavor.
The Flavors of Home
The menu centers on homestyle preparation, with the pork adobo and crispy pata taking center stage. You’ll hear the sizzle of the fryer before you smell the vinegar-garlic base of the adobo drifting from the kitchen. It is the kind of food that demands you slow down; the portions are generous, often served in a way that feels like a shared Sunday lunch, even on a busy Wednesday afternoon.
A Local Wailuku Rhythm
The atmosphere is unpretentious and stripped back. You aren't coming here for white tablecloths or mood lighting; you are coming for the steady, rhythmic hum of the neighborhood and a plate of food that hits the mark every time. Be prepared for the space to get busy during the lunch rush as office workers from nearby government buildings spill in. It can get tight inside, and parking in this historic district requires a bit of patience, but the trade-off is a genuine taste of the island's melting pot culture. If you are exploring Maui beyond the resort lines and want a meal that feels rooted in the community, OGO's offers a straightforward, delicious perspective on Filipino heritage right here in central Maui.

Miso baked ahi and lobster sandwich were excellent, as was the pothole and spring mix salad.

Wow, the server was so kind and friendly. The food was excellent! The special, which included snapper fish served on lobster risotto, with shrimp, was truly delicious. My husband enjoyed the oxtail katsu. My kids had a burger, sidewinder fries, and ahi nachos on lumpia wrapper. The highlight was the dessert! Kulolo crunch with aunty Karen's chantilly frosting! Grant is a great chef! My son was excited to take home a bag of the li hing Maui gummy bears. Thank you, OGO!

We found this place after reading a couple of reviews online. Looks like it's fairly new and it's sort of tucked away from the road (so if you drive by quickly or at night, very easy to miss). We went by for dinner and grabbed some food to go. Service was great - very friendly staff and efficient. Dishes: 1) Pohole fern and spring mix salad 5/5 - comes with a balsamic vinaigrette. I loved it! Might not be for everyone but the dressing was on point and it had some fund ingredients. 2) Lobster dynamite 4/5 - these are baked rolls which were super tasty. I just wish they hadn't put so much of the cream sauce on top. 3) Korean chicken and tutu karen okra's dry mein 5/5 - the chicken was on point and the noodles are (as listed) a bit on the drier side but it all goes well together. I would definitely go back and try the other dishes + their lunch menu!

You can’t beat Ogo. This is the best quality most reasonably priced restaurant I’ve ever been to hands down. No competition. Chef Grant is the best! If you miss this you are missing out big time!

I have been a loyal customer since they were serving food out of there food truck over by Maui lani ace. So I was thrilled to see that they had gotten a brick and mortar spot because depending on my schedule I would miss them when they were in the food truck. I have eaten here on 4 or 5 different occasions so far and every time I eat here it is incredible. I love the flavors of the different dishes. One of my favorite ones is the Hamachi with the shave ice ponzu. I have tried this dish at many different places they out the islands and up and down the west coast. I think this is one of the best presentation and flavor profiles that I have had. I can say I have had almost everything on the menu and have enjoyed every meal. You won’t be sorry no matter what you order. If it’s your first time ask the waitress she is always super helpful and takes good care of us. I can’t wait to have dinner or lunch there again.

This place is a great hidden little gem. The food is super tasty, featuring well executed local classics like loco moco and Korean fried chicken as well as innovative dishes like their ox tail katsu which has a delightful crust hiding a meaty and satisfying oxtail inside. Another nice touch is the pesto in their Mac salad which really puts it over the top!

Me & my fiancé came to OGO’s for Valentine’s Day, & let me say it was one of the best places we have ever ate in a long time. My fiancé ordered the veal with mushroom risotto and omg! The veal was so tender and soft! You just touched it with the tip of your fork and it started falling off the bone! I had the special, steak with crab on top and it was so delicious! Everything was filling! We had awesome service, & the atmosphere was wonderful. I’d definitely recommend this place to anyone who’s looking to eat good food. We had an awesome time & we will definitely be back!

We chose this restaurant because they are close to the airport. We had the Korean fried chicken, boneless short rib, tempura fried ribs, sidewinder fries, seared ahi sushi, Chantilly cake and guava chiffon cake. The food is simply amazing. Everything was very good. Highlights were the Korean fried chicken, the sushi and the Chantilly cake. Prices are very reasonable for what you get. Just go! You won’t be disappointed!

Food: 3/5 Service: 4/5 Overall: The food was pretty standard fare. The extended review... Food: Oxtail Katsu - 3/5 - I was super excited about this. I think what I didn't like too much about it was the breading was pretty thick. I was looking more for the oxtail and it sort of got lost in the dish. Sidewinder Truffle Fries - 3/5 - Nice and crispy. Pretty standard fare for fries. Service: 4/5 - Friendly service.
