Tin Roof

Chef Sheldon Simeon, a two-time Top Chef finalist, and his wife, Janice, opened this takeout spot in a 500-square-foot Kahului space in 2016. It is known for mochiko chicken and garlic noodles, and it celebrated 10 years in August 2026.

Why we love it

It’s local comfort food made by a chef at the top of his game, served in a paper box at local prices.

What to expect

Tin Roof is on Papa Place in Kahului, close to the airport and the big-box stores. It began as a lunch counter and has since added dinner service. Ordering is walk-in or online through Toast; no reservations. Most people take their food to go, so think picnic at a Kahului beach park or in the car before a flight. Mochiko chicken and garlic noodles are the orders people talk about. Lunch lines can be long; ordering online ahead saves time.
