We ordered a kimchi fried rice and a shrimp fried rice here on a weekday for lunch and it took…read moreabout 20 minutes to get our order. The portions are generous and there is an outdoor picnic table in front of the order/pick-up window. The menu seems to change from time to time. But the menu doesn't have prices or ingredients. That's why it was a little disappointing to see that the kimchi fried rice had spam in it when that was not indicated anywhere. But overall the food is pretty good, just a lack of transparency in the prices and ingredients that makes me hesitate a bit about this place.

We choose to dine outside of the restaurant! The Lanai Omelet... was DELISCIOUS. Two fresh baked toast... a scopp of fried rice.... HIT DA SPOT! We also got a Raisin Cinnamon bread warmed up.... WOW.

Bread dough rising in the back... aunty washing the dishes... daughter working as server in the morning.... Then you came to the right spot. It's not a fancy silverware, cloth napkin restaurant! It's a cozy family run restaurant! That's the local expereience. Oh... if you dine outside... and you leave for the bathroom... Make sure someone is watching you plate.... those hungry birds! hahahaha... they are quick to enjoy their Blue Ginger breakfast also!

We would order everything again except the taco-- it was fine, just nothing special. We loved all the greens that came with the dishes--it was nice to have some local veggies. Everything tasted so fresh. My husband said this was one of the best burgers he's ever had. My favorites were the burrata, crab sandwich, and chocolate cake. We also had the burrata at Osteria Mozza, and I thought that burrata here was on par (and, a lot less $). The views are spectacular, and so is the service. Edna was our waiter for both visits, and she was great! My husband casually mentioned that one of his favorite fruits in Hawaii was apple bananas, and that he was bummed that there weren't any in the market downtown. A couple moments later, Edna presented us with two apple bananas! What a treat. It's gestures like this that really make staying at the Four Seasons so special. We're already looking forward to our next visit!

Very casual service. We ordered: Mahi Mahi Lemon Caper Sautée: 1/10 The fish just tasted extremely bland not fresh tough and the lemon sauce just made it wet but added in no flavor as well. Rice was mushy tasted overcooked Mac salad was decent but not the traditional Mac salad flavor. Kung Pao Chicken: 2/10 Small pieces of chicken mostly fried so very little chicken this dish had a good amount of flavor because it was sweet. Chicken and shrimp fried rice: 1/10 Rice was so mushy quality and freshness is just not there. Overall this was not our best meal in Maui I had seen the mixed reviews and wanted to give it a try unfortunately I would no eat here again just because it was not just one dish that lacked quality freshness and flavor it was everything I ordered.

The ocean view was incredible, and they have outdoor seating so you can enjoy the water while you eat. Definitely a nice way to spend lunchtime! Service was friendly, fast, and accommodating. We decided to order family style and share a few things since we weren't that hungry. We got the Furikake Garlic Fries, which are tossed in butter, garlic, and a nori-sesame mix. So good! We also ordered the Shoyu Poke; Fried Noodles with egg, kamaboko, and Spam (asked them to hold the bean sprouts); and the Teriyaki Beef. The beef plate comes with mac salad and two scoops of rice, so you get a good amount of food. Everything was great for a casual lunch! The restaurant was clean, and parking was easy with plenty of stalls right out front. Always appreciate that when you're out exploring and making stops around the island. Good food, friendly service, and an amazing ocean view. Definitely worth stopping by if you're in Lahaina!

Disappointing Experience - Overpriced for the Quality…read more I haven't been to Aloha Mixed Plate in years, and I was really looking forward to coming back. My family and I visit their sister restaurant, Star Noodle, quite often, so I was expecting the same level of quality. Unfortunately, that wasn't the case. We visited today at 1:15 PM, and I have to say I left pretty disappointed. The shoyu chicken was dry, and the overall food quality just didn't match the price. For a family of five, our bill came out to $178, including soft drinks. That's a lot of money for a casual plate lunch experience. What was also disappointing was being told by our server that they do not offer a kamaʻāina discount. As a local, it's always nice when businesses recognize and support the community that supports them. I understand we live in a tourist destination, but the prices should still reflect the quality of the food and overall experience. Unfortunately, Aloha Mixed Plate felt more like an overpriced tourist spot than the local favorite I remembered. At these prices, I honestly wouldn't even recommend it to visitors. My recommendation? Save your money and head to Star Noodle instead. We go there often, and the quality and experience have been much more consistent. I really wanted to enjoy coming back, but sadly, this visit was a letdown. 3 stars.

A Maui Tradition for Over 30 Years…read more We've been coming to Hula Grill every time we visit Maui for over 30 years, and it's become a tradition we wouldn't want to miss. The view is always spectacular, the fish is consistently fresh, and their Mai Tais are still among the best on the island! We dined in the main restaurant on October 7, and overall, the service was pretty good and the food was decent, although not quite as memorable as it was 20 years ago. Unfortunately, the restaurant has become increasingly crowded over the years, which is understandable given its popularity as a tourist destination. One disappointing experience was dining in the bar area, where there's sand on the floor. During our visit last year, the area was filled with flies, which was pretty disgusting. Needless to say, we won't be dining in that section again. We've found the main restaurant to be a much better experience. Despite a few disappointments, Hula Grill remains a Maui classic for us. You can't beat the oceanfront setting, fresh fish, and excellent Mai Tais. We'll likely continue to visit on future trips, but we do hope the food and overall experience can recapture some of the magic we remember from years past.

First time in Maui, first meal after arriving. I'd tried the Hula Grill in Waikiki and thought the…read morefood was good, not wow, but this was a choice made by others in our small group, so I just went along because of the excellent location by the Whalers Village shopping center on one side, and the beach and ocean views on the other. Unfortunately, we were a bit delayed by our flight and hotel check in that we got here a bit late, after the sun had already set.....sadly, we missed that. The place was absolutely packed!.....but we had reservations, checked in, and waited about 10 minutes after our reservation time, and was then given a pretty decent table inside vs an outdoor table closer to the beach. Service was nice, friendly, and helpful.....so no complaints about that. As for the food....whilst walking to our table, we saw servers carrying trays of yummy looking fish and chips and tacos, but later found out that they were serving diners at the bar area, so these items were not available in the more "formal" Hula Grill restaurant section....bummer. Anyway, it was getting a bit late for us on California time, so we all chose to eat light...I orderd the Chilled Seafood Platter, and others in the group ordered the Grilled Fish, Roasted beets, Wok Charred Iwamoto Noodles, Seafood Poststickers, and ended everything with a huge slice of their signature Hula Pie. My Seafood Platter was served chilled with Kiawe charred sashimi grade ahi, a couple of small lobster tails, grileld and chilled jumbo shrimp cocktail, and some sides of kimchi, and wasabi. Yes, everything was very fresh and delicious, but I truly expected the portion to be much bigger, considering it's called a "Platter." Was a bit disappointed as others at our table wanted to try some of my seafood, but I had to say NO as I would be left with close to nothing to eat had I shared it. The other issue we all had was with the Lobster, Shrimp, and Scallop Potstickers. It came with a measly 5 small and flat pieces with so little stuffing that you couldn't even taste the seafood inside....even if you had put the whole thing in your mouth at once. It just need much more stuffing.....or what's the point? Whilst walking to the mens room, I walked by the kitchen and saw several plates of other dishes being put out for servers to serve to the diners......yea, the portion sizes of everything were so tiny!!! This is not something I really expected from such a restaurant......yea, the quiality may be quite good, but you'd never fill up on any of these entrees. It was a pretty good experience here, but it was more about the setting than the food.
