Hawaiian Restaurants near Kapalua, HI

“An absolute 5-Star experience from start to finish. From the welcome lei and drink, to the cultural experiences, to local vendors before dinner and the show hand carving items to your specification everything was done first class. Open premium bar all evening and more often than not, you would not have to get up as the servers were all extremely attentive.

The food was incredible. I partook in a number of salads, fried rice, short ribs, huli huli chicken, and the whole roast pig. Pro tip, ask for the cheeks. They also had vegetarian and pescatarian options, including a build your own poke bar.

The performances were incredible and told a beautiful story of the Hawaiian Gods. Highlights were the Aerial Silk dance, Goddess performance with the large parachute dress, and the best fire knife performance I've ever witnessed.

I highly recommend this Luau if you are up in the mid to upper west side of Maui or from other areas if you're up for the drive.“

“The food was great! Nice view. Definitely will be back :)“

“There truly is no better dining experience on Maui....the food is so delicious.... you will not be disappointed!! The service is excellent and you cannot beat the views.“

“Great Food, But Way Too Loud The food and service were both excellent — no complaints there. Unfortunately, the live band playing downstairs was so loud we couldn’t have a conversation and had to keep asking our server to repeat himself. Two nearby tables left because of the noise. If you're hoping for a peaceful early dinner, skip the 4:30 PM time during happy hour music. Great restaurant, but the volume ruined the vibe.“

“Excellent experience at the Banyan Tree!“

“This place is great for take out and has generous portions. My wife and I split a meal and it was just the right portions. This location is more for takeout than dining in with only a handful of tables. They were doing a good business for a Monday night. The counter ordering process was fast and efficient. The food was tasty and well prepared. There is a reason L&L Hawaiian Barbecue is successful and that's because they do things right!“

“Nice place. The small market had everything I needed and the fish & ships were great. I got it to go but finished it in the car before leaving the parking lot. I think it’s the last place to get food on the east part of the island so it’s nice to know they’re keeping up quality.“

“Excellent food, staff, service. Highly recommend“

“Randomly saw this on google and gave it a shot last week and I was BLOWN AWAY! The absolute best food on Maui. Their fish is insanely fresh! I went 3 times during my short stay and the quality was 10/10 each time. Can’t wait to come back, thinking about that Hamachi Lover’s roll everyday since :)“

“Spectacular sunset view for dinner, exceptional cuisine and amazing service! Not much more I can say as we celebrated our last night in Kapalua.“

“A wonderful alternative to many simple seafood places on the water and the hotels in Ka'anapali. Perfect for a sunset dinner every time. The tables are well placed apart. Can watch the ocean and sunset or the interesting parade of people walking along the beach path. The cocktails are well made THOUGH please Know they do NOT OFFER any blended drinks like naval flow or Pina colada...the wine list is extensive but they do offer the famous MonkeyPod Mai Tai with the foam. Plenty of all Local food ingredients and all were well prepared. And finally our server was perfection is personality, attentiveness, rechecking our needs, and bubbly energy. It should definitely be part of your Maui western shore dining. And do t forget: they offer 3 hours free valet parking while you eat at the Westin“

“We went for dinner and put our name on this list and went to bar. Ignored and then when others came and sit beside us they were greeted and were assisted asap. Im not one throw race card but it seemed very prevalent...politely left and went next door to Lelani and was treated great and like a valued customer! please do better Hula grill!“

“Beautiful atmosphere. Great steak. Great drinks. Wonderful service“

“We went for their Thursday night Prime Rib special. It came with a salad, followed by a 10 oz prime rib, garlic mashed potatoes and asparagus. It included either a warm brownie or a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Everything was delicious! Prime rib and au jus was really flavorful. Think we may be going back next Thursday night! Service was very good. The restaurant is located next to the pool at the Westin Nanea. Great views!“

“Our experience was magical, thank you to all of the staff especially our server, Kaipo. The food service and view/location were top notch. The service was the highlight of the evening. I did a lot of research before choosing this luau and I am so glad I chose this one. I highly recommend. I couldn't believe how delicious the food was and the portions were huge. It was so much food also an open bar, including nonalcoholic versions of all of the drinks. The scenery was absolutely magical. We had such a beautiful evening and I am so appreciative of the staff. They wait on you hand and foot and I had better service here than you get in a five star restaurant. My water was never even half empty.... everyone works so hard here and you can tell they love what they do. I just can't say enough great things about this luau.“

“Half of my hotel stay was a 5/5 but it was bought by new owners for the other. I booked this hotel stay because it was the only privately owned hotel I could find in Maui. There was so much attention paid to honouring and celebrating Hawaiian culture, from the food to the amazing cultural centre. All staff was friendly and I had an incredible experience with the cultural centre staff who were always happy to answer any questions I had and share their own personal experiences. My farewell lei ceremony was a moment I'll never forget. I had a great Hawaiian meal at Hui Hui and halfway through my stay the hotel was abruptly bought and rebranded to Outrigger. Hui Hui is now going to be "Maui Brewing Co" and I can only hope that the new owner preserves what makes this place special - the cultural centre, the staff, and honouring/celebrating Hawaiian culture.“

“The miso glazed butterfish and cioppino were the best meal we had in West Maui. Roy's was so kind to acknowledge my birthday and also surprised me with a delicious celebratory dessert. A special thanks to our wonderful waitress, Cindy, she was professional, efficient and kind; a true gem. Thank You!“

“Our dinning experience was good, I had the Loco Moco and it was a hit, 5 stars. My wife had a crispy chicken dish and the chicken was a little tough. So she was a little disappointed. We had a wonderful server, very friendly. We were eating during happy hour which raised the noise level.“

“We started with cocktails which we amazing. I had mango mojito my husband had the special markers mark whiskey made for Roy's. Not sure about the brand. It had ginger beer too. Both drinks were great. Appetizer was coconut shrimp. Tender and flavorful. Dinner was Mac crusted ono and mamas Yama meatloaf. Both were on point. Too full for dessert. I felt as if a lot of the staff had worked there a long time. They had confidence and a ease in performing their jobs yet were on top of their game. No slacking. The guy who served our food was picking it up and moving fast to deliver it but took time to explain what we ordered. We will be back!!“

“I eat a lot of locomoco. I mean a LOT of locomoco. Every chance I get.

And this was hands down the best locomoco I've ever had. It sounds crazy, but the seasoning in the patty and the gravy is just delicious. The option to get fried rice instead of white rice is nice, too.

Service is friendly but rushed.“

“Seriously the best place on ALL levels. Get there when they open at 11:00 as it gets very busy. There was a line out the door when we were there. Reasonably priced and great to take out for a day at the beach. We had an assortment of food items as we went a few times on our stay in Kahana. Lobster Bisque - Made fresh and it is the best I have ever had Poke - Fresh and delicious. By far the best I have ever had Shrimp Cocktail - You cant go wrong with a classic favorite Fish & Chips - nicely fried - not greasy and large portion Grilled/Fried Fish Tacos - They were both equally delicious and large portions Oyster Shooter - I could have had a dozen Seaweed Salad - Fresh and great flavor Crab Cakes - OMG The piece de resistance though was was the fresh Mahi Mahi that we barbequed. We used the 10 minute soy ginger marinade and it was better than outstanding. All of the workers are so nice and helpful. They work hard and take care of you from start to finish. Thank you Jim and crew for sharing your food and hospitality. You bet I will be back on my next visit to Maui. Mahalo!“

“love the coffee and very friendly staff!“

“Delicious food, excellent service, and the best beer around.“

“Stopped in right at opening on Friday, got the teriyaki steak and Korean BBQ. Both meals were cooked to order and fantastic. My steak was cooked to order perfectly. I also ordered an egg roll which was very tasty! The restaurant has bar seating and tables outside as well. I haven't been in several years and am so happy they are still here serving great food. It's affordable, filling and good!“

“Best Mai tai in Maui! The food is excellent“

“Some of the best meals I've had on Maui and the view/atmosphere is amazing. Will be back in November and many times to come.“

“First time in Maui and found this gem! Delicious mochi! The white chocolate dipping sauce with the poi Mochi was delicious and the lychee with the pog sauce was wonderful!“

“One of the best Luau's we have ever seen. The kids loved it, The food and drinks were perfect. Recommend 100%“

“Great, fun show! Performers were so dedicated to their performance that the joy was palpable. I would recommend the VIP package. Table service was terrible for us…our waiter was MIA until the very end. But, the show was great.“

“They are the sweetest people and everything they sell taste amazing! it’s the best shaved ice food truck ever!“

“Oh Em Gee. Listen. The burger was probably one of the best burgers I'd ever had.

It is a resort restaurant, and worth every penny! Right off the beach of Black Rock Beach and easy to access.

Shade seating as well.

Don't miss this spot!“

“During our stay we tasted the chicken tenders, quesadillas, piña coladas, fries, Prosecco, soft serve and all were great for a pool day. Really great fries! You can scan the barcode for the food/drinks to be delivered to you poolside as well. Friendly staff and great snackies!“

“Really beautiful. They have 3 labeled vegan options. The onion rings, the french fries, and the local farm mixed lettuce salad. There is an option to add a garden patty to the salad, but the garden patty is not labeled vegan. They also have a tofu and vegetable stirfry which comes with potato macaroni salad so I think that’s why it’s not labeled vegan, perhaps it could be made Vegan.“

“Great poke. We loved the Lahaina heatwave on nachos. Whalers village was extremely crowded on a Sunday and every restaurant on the ground floor had an hour long wait. Surprisingly this place had less customers that day and very quick service.“
