Best Lunch Restaurants in Lahaina

Our first time back to Lahanaia for several years and we were very glad to find Honu Oceanside! We sat oceanside and enjoyed the great service of Justin and the team at Honu, Mikey was great. Amazing Food, wine and a great time all around - our new fav spot on Maui!

Delicious food and fun beachy atmosphere with live music. The service was excellent!

Highly recommend. Our best meal by far during our 11-day stay on the island. Request waiter Nick (with glasses). Nick is one of the best servers we have experienced in all of our years of travel. He was in control from the time he first approached our table. He was kind. He was confident. He was very knowledgeable about all of our dining options. He made what would be a very good dining experience, a great one. The sashimi tuna was the best we’ve ever had. The ulu mash, spectacular. Filets were on point. Overall, we could not recommend Ulu’s enough. The Hawaiian cake dessert was the finishing touch.

Service was quite good with the exception of food prep time. Server was outstanding. Food was great. Lobster perfectly done. Same with Ahi steak. Everyone was super happy with their meals. Ambiance was beach restaurant normal, with relatively high noise levels. Place was super clean and visually uncluttered. Seating was decently spaced and comfortable. Music from other side of restaurant was muted, muddy, and unidentifiable - and mostly more a part of the background noise than it was contributing to the ambiance. Need a better way to balance that across the whole place. View was of course awesome. Value was ok if you account for usual resort area price inflation.

Took my family here on my second dining experience at Mala. It exceeded expectations once again and is now a favorite of my family’s as well. We were a table of 7 and had excellent service. Everyone of us devoured our dishes, including dessert. A trip to Maui is not complete without dining at Mala. Mahalo Joe and staff!
