Back open with limited hours!! - Edit
So yummy and the best vibes. I loved the lemongrass lemonade and the BLAT which kept very well unrefrigerated until dinner time.

It’s a zero waste and locally grown restaurant.
They host great events that support the community.

Super easy parking.
This place is rad…not only do they make good food but they’re invested in the community and environment.

Just meh - Edit
I wanted to love this place because the mission of zero waste local organic vegan food is 100% on point. Unfortunately the food is just meh. My loko moku was dry and flavorless. The taro burger was a chewy tasteless puck. The fajita bowl was uninspired. It was slow and expensive and I was disappointed. The people are super nice though; I wish they had better food to serve!
Read morePros: Nice staff, Zero waste, Local and organic

A good local option - Edit
Went to Miku roots while visiting the island again. Was saddened to see some of the menu items had changed over the years. But food was still incredible. Had the fajita bowl and cheesecake. Always a good visit.

Hi John
Read moreThanks for coming in and supporting year after year. We source ingredients locally so they are subject to change with availability, for instance if you were missing our old buffalo cauliflower wrap/bowl, the deer ate all the cauliflower and cauliflower plants so we really haven't been able to get cauliflower in a year or so. There's other examples like this as well haha. Which sucks in some ways but forces us to get creative and sometimes come up with the best new dish ever!
Hope we see you again next time and perhaps we'll have that dish for you available again.

Best Vegan on Maui! - Edit
Had the Reuben and BLAT. BOTH INCREDIBLE! the in-house made bread is especially great and gluten free. Cocktails (‘Not a Virgin Mary’) was also great. Other cocktails have creative ingredients. Very accommodating with allergy restrictions.

Vegan AND Zero Waste - Edit
Moku Roots has delicious, fresh, vegan food and fabulous drinks and desserts. Almost all the ingredients are locally sourced and the menu is very creative. It’s always difficult to decide what to get here, there are so many good choices. What I also love about Moku Roots is that’s it’s zero waste restaurant. They have take out boxes and drinks containers you can either buy or pay a deposit to use on a returnable basis. For leftovers, you can use Ti leaves, which are much better for you (and the planet).

Read before going - Edit
This place was a true zero-waste business. I recommend bringing tupperware or other containers to avoid the fees of the takeout containers. We ended up eating in-person so that we could use their dish-ware. Love all of the vegan options and creative materials that are biodegradable. Highly recommend!!!

Nice place with pleasant outdoor eating. Very into health food. Not the type of place for those seeking vegan burgers / fries, though they do have taro root burgers and yucca fries.

Came Back 2x - Edit
Food was so good, we ate here twice during our stay on Maui. The coconut bacon is awesome as the flavor is smokey and delicious and the coconut is cut randomly giving meaty texture. The falafel is perfectly crispy. Everything that we had was good.
Read moreNote that because it is zero-waste, you will put a deposit down for a tin for to-go or leftovers. You can return for money back or credit towards your next meal.
Also checkout the counter for pantry items like mac-nuts, nut butter, seeds, and fruits. High quality foods at really reasonable prices.
Pros: Good portions, reasonable price, Pantry basics

Yummy healthy dinner! - Edit
We went here for dinner two nights. The first night I got the Coconut Noodle Bowl. It was good but I really enjoyed the Reuben that I got on the second visit. Their Buffalo cauliflower was really good as well. I could have eaten just an entire bowl of that and been happy!Their Thai iced tea is yummy too. Not too sweet but good!

must try! - Edit
Hands down one of the best restaurants I’ve been to. We tried many things and I didn’t feel sick or like I ate too much. I love the zero waste part, but if you get things like the noodles it might be harder to get takeaway for your left overs.

Buy a bottle of LOVE SAUCE!!! - Edit
So good, so good! And REAL food. Super fresh & full of flavor. We went twice on our trip. Tried the Tara burger, raw pad Thai, sushi-Rita wrap, moku bowl. And the homemade love sauce, WOW. We bought 3 bottles to take home. I love that they use organic, local food & are zero waste. A MUST GO TO!
