Best Restaurants for Outdoor Dining in Maalaea

It was great to see Star Noodle reopened and love their new location with a lot more room. Our server was great and the food came out quicker than I remember from before. We had a few of our favs like the steamed pork buns, kim chee, and miso butterfish. All were excellent. This is one of our favorite places in Maui so always look forward to returning.

We made reservations for 5:30…sunset was about 15 minutes later. It was busy as location is perfect for sunset viewing. When we checked in, we were to be seated right away but hostess suggested we wait while a table was cleaned as it had a primo front seating. We did and it was stunning. The waitress, Tiana was fabulous and friendly. The food was delicious. We plan on returning again before we leave Maui.

One of our fave spots over the years .. very accommodating for special diet requests (GF) & the food was outstanding!! Coconut shrimp & the hula pie are a must .. Magical sunsets that never disappoint & a great guitarist to entertain .. Mahalo for another wonderful Maui memory!

Loves every minute of our visit to MonkeyPod. Seated immediately on the side patio. Jess greeted us and brought us 3 Mai tais and a whiskey sour - delicious! Then we shared a Gem Salad and a Brocli Salad - both delicious but the Brocli was so unique we all agreed it was the best. Fish Tacos, Fish and Chops and Macademia Nut encrusted Mahi Mahi we all excellent but my Rib Eye was over the top. Cooked to perfection. We had a bottle of Tempranillo which paired well with everything and topped it all off with Banana Cream pie. Would recommend the entire meal all over again. Jess was an excellent waitress!

Family out for midweek dinner. Sat outside on patio, comfortable breeze, attractive setting with barrier to parking lot. We chose the grilled chicken mole diner and burrito dinner. Both excellent. There mole sauce is outstanding and the chicken tender and tasty. Beers on tap with chilled mugs. Waitstaff very attentive.
