A Kahului food truck serving steak and seafood has won a Best of Maui award, good news for a local small business and for diners hunting cheap plates.

• Ono Teppanyaki and Seafood in Kahului was voted one of the best places to eat on Maui.
• The food truck draws locals and tourists with made-to-order meals at food-truck prices instead of restaurant prices.
• The menu leans on seared ahi, New York steak, ribeye, shrimp, scallops, and lobster, served with rice and grilled vegetables.
• The owners credited the win to customers who have kept supporting the small business.

Outlook: Expect busier lines and more visitor traffic at the truck on the back of the award.
