Hawaiian Restaurants in Lahaina, HI

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

“We love going to Leilani’s on the Beach. The service is top-notch, and the setting cannot be beat (although admittedly, many Maui b chaise restaurants match it… West Maui is amazing!). Every meal we’ve tried has been delicious. When we first visited in 2008, it inspired us to name our daughter-to-come Leilani. She is now 17 and we are on our way back soon for her grad trip. Can’t wait to see you in April!“

“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.“

“Excellent experience at the Banyan Tree!“

“Chicken katsu curry and garlic chicken plates were delicious. Ask for katsu sauce on side to dip in. We got the mini plates which were enough food for the average adult at $15 - fair price for Maui. Got take out and brought back to the resort to eat poolside, this is a solid local spot not a tourist spot“

“We had the spicy hamachi bowl, garlic salmon bowl, smash roll, and Cali roll. Everything was phenomenal and super fresh. The flavors were thoughtfully curated and unique from anything I’ve ever had in a poke bowl. 10/10 recommend! We will definitely be back!“

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

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

“Excellent food, staff, service. Highly recommend“

“We are shocked that this restaurant only has a 4.2 on Google reviews, possibly because they are only 2 years old, but they really have their act together. We’ve been coming to Hawaii for 43 years. We are hard-core foodies that have enjoyed some of the best restaurants on Maui, including Merriman’s (Ulu is related) and Mama’s.

Ulu sets a new high water mark for us. The location at the Westin overlooking the beach is Incredible. The food was simply outstanding and the service impeccable (Kate you were Awesome). This is now our number one go to spot when we visit.

If you want great food and a magical experience, definitely give them a try. It’s getting hard to find solid reviews because so many people post lots of pictures but make inane comments. Hopefully this one is helpful. 🌝“

“We ended up coming here more than once because it was easy, the views were ridiculous, and we could actually slow down for a minute. One of our favorite moments of the whole trip was grabbing lunch, splitting sandwiches, and literally watching whales from the table. It’s resort-area pricing, but the setting makes it feel worth it when you time it right. We featured it in our YouTube video, search for “Replicate the Magic” on YouTube to find it.“

“We came here for tomohawk Tuesday and it was great! Highly recommend it was a coursed meal with shareable Caesar salad followed by the tomahawk(we got two orders of the dinner so each tomahawk was shared by three of us) and was served with mashed potatoes and broccolini. The broccolini was also really yummy and was crispy with a little citrus on it (had to give a shout out!). And then ends with a shareable dessert of ice cream and waffle. We also got the calamari and potstickers to start that were also yummy. Great service and easy to get to!“

“This was the best experience! The food was fantastic, our waiters were fantastic, and they were very attentive to food allergies! 100% worth the money. Ask for Cousin Kyle with the Smile!“

“The best bartenders of any where we went! Jason Amy and Maybel were friendly, informative and efficient. Service with a smile and genuinely concerned that we enjoyed our time there. Thanks to the team!“

“Roy’s is set on the Ka’anapali golf course. The inside of the restaurant leaves a little to be desired. It’s very basic. Some of the other reviews state it being bright and louder, which I would say is accurate. Feels like a slightly upscale clubhouse restaurant.

That being said, everyone that helped us that evening were very nice and accommodating. They made you feel like you were in a fancy restaurant. Our server, Christina, was fantastic.

The food, including the appetizers and main course, were delicious. Our table enjoyed the calamari, bao buns and beet salad to start. Then we had the butterfish, macadamia crusted catch, which was Mahi, tiger shrimp, ribeye and fish/shrimp duo. We all enjoyed our meals.

As with any of the other “elevated” restaurants on the island, you will want to make a reservation.“

“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!!“

“Our favorite place on Maui“

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

“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!“

“Busy parking lot for a busy plaza. Had to loop several times until we could get a parking spot.

Cash only place. Was in between two items and they recommended the chicken katsu. It came with rice and Mac. It was really good and the portion was generous. Their Mac is on the simpler side a little more bland but one can appreciate that. Especially eating something fried and flavorful.“

“My daughters and I went with our friends. It was a group of 9 and we all loved it! We paid for the vip so that we could be front to the show, it was worth it. The food was exquisite. The show itself was excellent even in the rain. I was amazed at the level of love and commitment the dancers had because as the show started the rain did too and it got stronger, but they kept dancing with a smile. Thank you for sharing your culture through dance. I would highly recommend it!“

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

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

“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.“

“5-Star Review: Myths of Maui Luau – An Unforgettable Family Night! 🌺🔥 We were a group of 4 adults and 4 kids (8 mos to 8 yrs) and the Myths of Maui Luau at the Royal Lahaina Resort made our Maui vacation truly magical! From the moment we arrived, the aloha greeting with fresh leis set the tone for a fantastic evening, enhanced by the stunning oceanfront sunset. Delicious Food for Everyone The all-you-can-eat buffet was a hit, featuring kalua pork from the traditional imu ceremony, fresh island salads, and kid-friendly options that kept our little ones happy while we enjoyed Hawaiian classics and indulgent desserts. Unlimited cocktails and kid drinks flowed freely, making it easy for the adults to unwind. An Engaging Show The performance was captivating! Mesmerizing hula dances, rhythmic drums, and the thrilling fire knife finale kept us all on the edge of our seats. The kids loved participating in the interactive parts, creating lasting memories for the whole family. A Fun-Filled Experience Despite the Rain A little bit of rain couldn’t dampen our spirits; it added to the evening's charm. With live music and plenty of activities, our group had an incredible time. Hands down, the best family outing in Maui. We’ll be back with the kids – 5 stars all the way! Mahalo, Myths of Maui! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“

“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!“

“The vegetable and tofu stir fry is excellent. The cauliflower had that wonderful, subtle charred flavor that comes from stir frying at high heat. The pizza from kid’s menu was pretty tasty as well. Overall they have decent vegetarian options. I’m pleasantly surprised how much better the food is here compared to the two neighboring Westins.“

“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!“

“Was there during the Maui March heavy rains. As we couldn't drive safely, we walked to Whalers Village and were fortunate to find Maui Poke. There were lines everywhere because most tourists didn't wish to travel far. Was pleasantly surprised to get a delicious meal at low cost...everything was so fresh. I noted that only 2 people were working the counter...presumably the owners. I watched them serve this enormous crowd diligently and without skipping a beat. They were a well-oiled team - taking on an unusual day, I'm sure. BIG shout out to these great people - keeping their patrons well fed and happy despite the flooding going on. Will definitely return.“

“Pulled pork sandwich was so good!! Fries seasoned just right!“

“LOVED the Prime Rib on Wednesday night! Katie is an AWESOME server- thank you❤️“
