First time visit with no reservations. Waited less than 10 minutes. The server was polite and knowledgeable and the food was super yummy. There were few gluten free options which was nice.

Gluten free food is really good for breakfast. Good coffee and atmosphere. We went to the breakfast buffet ( twice in a week).

Humuhumunukunukuāpuaʻa is a tricky word to say. That was our first impression of the restaurant located in the luxurious Grand Wailea, A Waldorf Astoria Resort. We guessed how to say it correctly, which led to an in-depth conversation about what we thought a Humuhumunukunukuāpuaʻa was. Thankfully, our server, Harlod, could not only demonstrate the word's correct pronunciation but also took the time to show us a picture of a Humuhumunukunukuāpuaʻa near the bathroom. This simple interaction was all it took for our children to imprint on Harold and set the course for us to have breakfast there every day that Harold worked for our entire stay. The breakfast buffet was not just delicious, but also served in a serene and peaceful atmosphere. The calm surroundings were the perfect way to start the day, allowing us to relax and enjoy our meal. A few things that really stood out to us set Humuhumunukunukuāpuaʻa apart and into a class of its own. First, the food was a delightful adventure. We dined there enough times to explore all they had to offer, and each dish was a unique delight. The staff kept the buffet lines clean and stocked, ensuring that the hot food was always hot, and the cold food was always cold. The bakery items were fresh and undamaged from the humidity, and the separate area for gluten-free baked goods was a thoughtful touch, preventing cross-contamination and catering to a variety of dietary needs. Second, the omelet station had a variety of fresh veggies, egg whites, goat cheese, and an amazing homemade salsa. We met two omelet chefs; both were incredibly kind to our children. Our son ordered egg omelets without any toppings or cheese every day. The chefs cooked the eggs the same way each time, which was especially important for our son. Third, the staff, especially our server Harold, were not just calm and helpful, but also incredibly kind. Their warmth and understanding made our son, who historically would have tantrums in restaurants due to overstimulation, feel relaxed and eat well. We never felt rushed or pressured to do anything differently than what we were doing. All the staff we interacted with were accommodating and kind, making us feel truly valued as guests. I would encourage anyone to try the Humuhumunukunukuāpuaʻa’s breakfast buffet, especially those traveling with highly sensitive children. The calm environment and tranquil leisurely breakfast sets the tone for the day.

My husband and I both got the tacos and they were delicious! I also ordered a mocktail which was delightful, but almost the same price as an alcoholic drink. Restaurant accommodated my gluten allergy very well and the atmosphere was beautiful!

Great place and the vibes were awesome. Our server and bus boy were awesome, personable, and funny and they took good care of us. Food was different than i expected but not bad at all. I was still very satisfied and they even have delicious gluten free, dairy free dessert option of chocolate cake!
