Unko Maui's bringing island-inspired burgers to Deco District

• The grand opening is from noon-8pm Saturday.

Dig in: The menu features unique burgers, including a twist on Loco Moco — a classic island dish — along with options featuring teriyaki chicken and pineapple.

• It'll also have a dessert bar for guests to build custom ice cream orders.
• The menu ranges from $5 for an a la carte burger to $13 for a burger, side and a drink.

The vibe: Guests can look forward to events like Aloha Fridays, complete with hula performances during the summer.

• While the restaurant will be open until 1am, it will not serve alcohol.
• "We really like to focus on creating a family-friendly environment," owner Mike Suarez tells Axios.

Zoom out: Unko Maui's is a companion restaurant of Maui's on Main, a popular downtown-adjacent spot that debuted exactly one year earlier.

What they're saying: Unko Maui's aims to strike a balance between quality and affordability.

• "With prices on everything being so high now, we want to provide affordable meals so people leave full and happy," Suarez says.
