11 Best Seafood Restaurants in Kahului

“Recommended by a friend and it was fantastic. Huge portions too.“

“Garlic shrimp, ribeye steak, and Korean chicken were flavoured so well and cooked perfectly! The shrimp tastes way better than the more famous shrimp trucks. (We also ordered the ahi Katsu, which didn't land on the faves list, but that's a matter of personal preference. It was cooked and flavoured well...I just prefer a seared ahi over a fully cooked one.)

Service was friendly and quick, atmosphere is average...it's a food truck at the edge of the Lowe's parking lot 🙃

10/10 would recommend and would return!“

“10/10 the blackened seared ahi tuna changed my life. Fish was so fresh and the sear was perfect. The tartar sauce gave it the perfect creaminess. We also got the lobster & shrimp and that was also cooked perfectly. Great location near the airport

Parking lot available, porta potties, and covered seating“

“Balai Pata is an absolute gem, and absolutely needed on North Shore / Central Maui in what’s otherwise a restaurant abyss of tourist forward formulaic burgers & fish tacos. Part of me wants to keep it a secret, but it deserves way more recognition than it has received. I’m honestly shocked it’s not packed every single night. Their innovative fusion menu is both playful and thoughtful, with fresh, farm-to-table dishes that change often enough to keep every visit exciting. The staff are the sweetest aunties, making us feel like family and doting on our toddler every time we come. Our little one (and the rest of us!) can’t get enough of their malunggay (moringa) handmade garlic noodles. No liquor license yet, so it’s BYOB, which makes for an even more relaxed, homey vibe. Easily one of our favorite spots on the island - and I’m sure it will become one of your favorites too.“

“Very friendly service. The recommendations were most helpful. And the food was great.“

“I’ve been coming to Maui for 40 years- and hands-down, this is the best seared ahi plate. Incredible. Kihei location. Ahi tacos are fantastic too! I woke up this morning thinking about last night’s meal, so we came back today. Had to go back a second day in a row!“

“Great variety of poke, good value, and best poke I had on Maui! We ate here 3 times in 4 days. We tried the Ahi, blue fin, salmon, and marinated cucumber. I recommend them all! The service is quick and friendly. It is located inside a Foodland, and there is no seating.“

“The all of the da kine shrimp was phenomenal!! And the rib eye was amazing too!! 🤤🤤“

“I cried good tears this morning. I've never in my life cried because of how divine the food was. I ordered the crab cakes benedict, usually when I order crab cakes it's a hash brown with little bits of crab meat but this one is purely crab and it was so fresh like it was caught in the early hours before restaurant opened. Eggs were cooked to perfection and the hollandaise sauce was heavenly. It was love on a plate, my compliments to the chef! Service was absolutely wonderful, lovely and welcoming ladies. They were very attentive and efficient. Mahalo nui loa! 🌺“

“Tempura Tacos are the bomb 💣“
