Restaurants near Kaanapali Royal P101

I wish I could remember our servers name but she was fantastic!! She was very friendly, helpful, knowledgeable and fun! We reserved for an early dinner at 430 because the later times were booked…we were able to get a table overlooking the ocean & could watch the sunset! We started with the calamari and it was cooked perfectly! The Lychee Martini was out of this world!! We ordered the Seafood Hot Pot and the special which was an uber delicious Snapper. The broth for the Hot Pot was so flavourful…just as good as the last time I had it! Of course we ended the meal with Kimo’s Hula Pie! It was sentimental for me…Kimo’s was the first place I had dinner when I came to Maui for the first time…so nice that Leilani’s is carrying on the Hula Pie after Kimo’s was lost in the fire❤️‍🩹. It was a wonderful dining experience!

Live music on a Friday early afternoon! Chill Maui vibes with free parking, excellent service (Ericka), varied menu for all. Drinks on point, view of ocean is exceptional, relaxed atmosphere despite a rather busy resort setting.worth the scenic mid day drive from Kihei to North Kaanapalii🤗

While they have a short menu, the exceptional quality of the food, especially the fish, had us return repeatedly. We ate at some of the more highly regarded restaurants in the area, but none matched the food quality and flavor of MBC. In addition to better food quality, they were also more accessible than the well known restaurants in the area. We had no difficulty getting in and never made a reservation. Do yourself a favor and check them out.

Hula Grill is our favorite restaurant on Maui. There is not a bad table in the place. If you are lucky enough to get the patio the view is best but the interior dining room is still open air and has a view of the setting sun. We had a delightful dinner from start to finish. Our server was amazing, she recommended her favorites and we followed them and never regretted it. Best Mai Tais we ever had, all agreed. Seafood stew with coconut broth was so delicious, the amount of seafood for the price is better than anywhere. Pork shank and nut crusted Ono also delicious. We will always go back, usually 3 times per trip!

Takumi Sushi is a new sushi restaurant in Kaanapali that is truly outstanding. This review will focus on Takumi’s omakase offering, but the restaurant also offers a less expensive patio dining option featuring a range of a la carte nigiri and roll choices or combos, as well as a tempura combo. All of the patio options can also be ordered as takeout, along with a 40 or 60 piece sushi platter. Any of their sushi is top notch and reasonably priced ($30-60 for a meal) given the top quality. The 17 dish omakase course is absolutely world class. (Takumi’s $160 omakase is as good as much more expensive omakase dinners that my Japanese wife and I have had in Japan and California). There is presently only one omakase seating per night for the 7 sushi counter seats and one 4 person table. Reservations on their website. Chef Yamada is very friendly and explains each item that he has chosen for the evening in fluent English and Japanese. The omakase course has a few traditional items such as pickled vegetables, chawanmushi, grilled fish and tender octopus (which I usually hate but was delectable). But the star of the evening was, of course, THE SUSHI. Chef Yamada prepared about 10 delicately seasoned nigiri sushi, most of them exotic cuts of fish that you won’t see in your typical sushi restaurant, except the tuna which was the best of thousands of maguro that I’ve eaten in my life — just melt-in-your mouth, savory delicious! The fish are mostly flown in that day from Japan, though the marvelous sweet shrimp (amaebi) came from Molokai. The last sushi item was a delightful hand roll containing toro and crunchy takuwan radish pickles). Yes, $160 is not cheap for a dinner, but you will feel that you got full value for a very memorable sushi experience that may be the best of your life.
