    Lahaina Fried Soup
    Jocelyn L.

    Very underwhelming experience. It started off with our reservation at 5pm, which we arrived on time for, and yet it still took about 10 minutes for them to seat us at the table, even though there were plenty of tables available. I didn't quite understand why there was a wait. It also took a long time to get our menus, have the waiter come over to take our food, etc. I also was not a fan of the table we were at, since it was closest to the beach, and the sun was right in our table and faces, and it was blazingly hot. There was no breeze. It also took some more time for someone to come over to our table, and ask them to give us water. Anyway, the food was very mediocre. We ordered the Steamed Pork Buns, Pad Thai, Nico Cham Chicken wings, Lahaina Fried Soup, and the Malasadas. I barely remember the food. I don't think anything was horrible, but nothing seemed special to me, and definitely nothing delicious for me to recommend to anyone. Also the food was quite expensive for what it was. I think our favorite dish was the malasadas for dessert actually, and even those were just average, nothing special that we can't get on the Mainland. I was just very disappointed in my meal here, and would deter you from going to this gimmick.

    Service and ambiance both excellent. Star Udon broth not as 'rich' as advertised. Garlic noodles tasty but a bit salty! Ramen spoons so shallow you can't get more than a half tablespoon per scoop. Adobo ribs, excellent! Great green beans, and steamed pork buns wonderful. Hapa Ramen was also a hit.

    Don't really understand the hype, and not my type of restaurant. Don't get me wrong, the decor, and the staff was amazing. But the drinks were mediocre, over priced, and the noodles were just meh. We came randomly on a Sunday with no reservations. We ordered whiskey sours which were watered down and didn't taste amazing. I ordered the hapa ramen and my partner ordered the hot and sour. Yes, the hand made noodles were good. It was more like soba noodles. But it didn't really go with the items in the noodles. Soup was decent. My partners hot and sour was very salt, and soup came like warm. She tried her best to continue eating it, but had to ask for hot water to concentrate it down. The nice waiter came back and said the chef can remake it. The remake was good. So we were fairly happy with that. Overall like I said, not really my type of restaurant but the staff was really nice and attentive.

    After scouting out different places to eat, and eating at most, we decided to come back to Star noodle, and I took a chance on ordering the same dish, and they KNOCKED IT OUT OF the PARK AGAIN!!! Service tonight was good, Andy took good care of us. Ambiance is so-k, as what makes this place shine is when there is still some sun light. But you can't go wrong with any of their dishes.

    I was looking forward to eating here. The reviews were amazing. It's located right on the ocean. What a beautiful location. I went there right when it was opened so there's no wait. I ordered some dishes, and I was disappointed. The ribs were salty. It was on the chewy side. The dumplings were not fresh. The pork had a taste. The garlic shrimps were amazing. The shared noodle dish was not good. I still gave it a four stars. The location was beautiful. Maybe their dinner menu is better? I remain hopeful.

    We ordered the miso butterfish, nuoc cham chicken wings, adobo pork ribs, clams, green beans, vietnamese crepe and two noodle dishes. The standout stars were definitely the miso butterfish, vietnamese crepe and the nuoc cham chicken wings--they were absolutely delicious and packed with flavor. On the other hand, the two noodle dishes (look more fun and garlic noodles) missed the mark for me; they weren't too salty, but lacked of flavor overall. The clams, adobo ribs, and green beans were just okay. Even with a few mediocre dishes and the reservation fee, the wings, the crepe and butterfish made the visit worth it! Plus I like the chill but somewhat high end ambiance the restaurant gave.

    Lahaina Fried Soup
    Zara A.

    NOODLES themselves are exceptionally fresh. Very modern twist with versatile dishes catered to a family style experience. However portion size and the amount of protein in each noodle dish was very minimal for the price. A single dish is not enough for one person. LAHAINA FRIED SOUP (not soup) was worth a try for the texture of the flat noodle and gave a bit of a padseew feel. Just no meat. SINGAPORE NOODLE was pretty good. SERVICE at the bar and front desk was fantastic and the mixed drinks looked very interesting. Some of the most unique options with an Asian twist. Great spot on a girls date to pick at a variety of things but not a spot to take a bunch of growing boys on a budget.

    10/10!! I was on Maui for 5 days and ate here multiple times! Every dish was AMAZING, the Look Moore Funn is to die for!! The service was great and the view from the patio is breath taking. Try to go for sunset!

    I am amending my 2023 review! I think they were still adapting to the new location back then. We had a wonderful experience last night, rivaling the food quality from the previous location of the hill. We enjoyed the Vietnamese crêpe (my fav), steamed pork buns, ramen, green beans, and garlic noodles. Our server, Andy, was terrific. And we had an interesting conversation with the charming manager, Andrew.

    Three years later, we came back to Star Noodle. Some people have said that the service isn't great, but we were very happy with the service. We had to wait about 10 minutes past our reservation time to sit, but after that, our waiter was very nice and helpful, and the food came very quickly. The menu is nice in that it's relatively small. Everything on it looks really good. We tried the chicken wings, adobo ribs, the green beans, the haba ramen, and the garlic noodles. The food was very good but didn't blow us away. Maybe it's because it sounds so good, but it's got a high bar to me. In the end, it was a very nice dinner, though the cost does add up if you get a couple of cocktails and four or five things to share. It's gonna be $200. Still definitely enjoyed it and would come back to try other things.

    Trying out the new dim sum menu they offer on the weekends 10-1pm. Would recommend you make a reservation because it was pretty full. The interior and exterior of the restaurant is very clean. Great outdoor view of the ocean very relaxing. Our server was great excellent service fun to talk too. Starting with strawberry soda is was good could use a bit more flavoring. The dim sum was overall pretty good the pork shims had good flavor. And the shrimp shims had lots of shrimp packed in there with a good truffle sauce on top. They paired really well with the chilli crisps. The har gow was unfortunately not that good the outside wrapper was tuff and chewy and the shrimp filling inside was felt hard. Besides from that the fish sauce wings were okay could use more flavoring since and coating on them. The garlic noodles were really good. Overall pretty good experience and would go again!

    This was maybe one of the best meals I've ever had. My husband called for a reservation the day before and just so happened to score a 6 pm reservation for two. Parking seemed to be tight but we still found it easily in between two restaurants. There were rocking chairs on the porch that looked so inviting but our table was ready immediately. They walked us to a table with a beautiful view, right on the water. Incredible. The server recommended the pork buns and the garlic noodles. We ended up getting the ahi avo and pork buns for appetizers and they were some of the best things I've ever eaten in my life. The ahi was so fresh, it was so smooth, like butter. The lemon oil complimented it perfectly. It was phenomenal. The pork buns had a perfect balance of salt, acid, fat and heat. They were incredible. These two are must orders!! We got the garlic noodles and the pad Thai also. Both were good, id be likely to order either again. Incredible experience. This will be a must visit every time we come back.

    Excellent experience, we love the new location closer to the water. I remember the pork buns being a little better (more pork) in the past but they were still acceptable. You can't go wrong with the Garlic Noodles and they are a must have for each of our visits. The Espresso Martini was phenomenal! Our waitress was great and the food came out fast. Star Noodle is a must visit place when on Maui!

    Ask the Community - Star Noodle

    Is the walk up availability?

    Yes, walk-ins are available but I would highly suggest to get there and line up before they open (30 minutes before they open) because they will only have bar seating available for walk-ins.

    Does this restaurant serve gluten free pasta?

    Yes since they do offer rice noodles in some dishes . All pastas are made fresh by them

    Anyone know when they will reopen?

    They hope to open at the beginning of August. Keep an eye on social media for their announcement in the next two weeks.

    How is the restaurant? Was it affected by the fire? Is it open for dine in or take out? I have since learned via their Facebook page that the restaurant is in tact but will remain closed until further notice. Thanks.?

    Check out their FB page - they've made a few recent posts. It sounds like their structure itself survived, but it's not clear if it means it was unscathed per se. Mane of their employees were impacted, so they've started a Gofundme.

    Is there a kids menu / is this family friendly?

    Family Friendly for sure, didn't see a kids menu. But a lot of the menu items are served family style.

    How far in advance are reservations accepted?

    You can make reservations at least 30 days in advance. Which I highly recommend. I went back one week later and all the best time spots were booked.

    I made a reservation for 14 people months ago. We will be celebrating after a wedding ceremony and I'm told they can't guarantee we can all sit together. Not sure if they are…

    The restaurant isn't designed for large groups like yours. Congrats on your wedding and choosing a great place to eat though. Just be prepared to sit separately.

    Are any of your menu options vegan?

    They have vegan options, yes, just ask upon arrival or call ahead if you want to know the exact options

    Does the restaurant take walk in?

    Yes but I recommend walking in as early as possible before the dinner rush starts. Unfortunately I think that's at 3:30 pm.

    Is MSG used in their food?

    Aloha Mike! Star Noodle does not add MSG to the food. There are some sub-ingredients that already contain MSG so there are trace amounts in a few menu items. The service staff can assist you in making selections to avoid it all together.

    Do they cater?

    Nope

    No food on the go on your website as stated on your phone message. Are you still doing take out?

    Aloha Dawn! Star Noodle is indeed offering take-out! Our Online system is undergoing some revisions, but you can still get our food to go by contacting our team at (808)667-5400. Mahalo!

    Are there gluten free options?

    Aloha Vicki! Star Noodle offers some gluten-free options and modifications. Your service staff will be knowledgeable and can help you through the menu.

    Do you have takeout?

    Yes. If you cannot get a reservation, the hostess will give you a menu to order take-out. They are really accomodating. You can sit at the bench in a peaceful area to wait for your order.

    Is it only reservations only? Was told if you can't get one, don't bother stopping in?

    Practically speaking, it is reservation only. They offer take-out to guests who walk up without a reservation. However, at certain times, there are empty tables, like off-hours that you can try for a walk-in. We left at about 3:30 p.m. and there… Read more

    Are they allergy friendly?

    Yes. They ask if yiu have any allergies when they take your order

    Can we reserve outside?

    The entire restaurant is outside.

    Is proof of booster needed to dine at an outdoor table?

    For outdoor dining in Hawaii Vaccinations are not required. Just masks to and from the table, and until you have food or water.

    Do they offer dairy free desserts?

    Yes they do!

    Hello, I am trying to make reservations for dinner tonight @7pm. Possible to please help? Thank you

    Aloha! Thanks for contacting us! Unfortunately we are completely booked for tonight. Please continue… Read more

I was served by Jen, who was incredibly kind, attentive, and made the entire experience feel special from start to finish. To start, I ordered the Bang Bang crab dip, which was absolutely phenomenal, along with a Birds of Paradise cocktail. Both were a fantastic way to begin the meal. For my main course, I had the uni nigiri and the Cajun seared hamachi sashimi. The uni was wonderfully sweet and melted in my mouth, pairing perfectly with the rice and seaweed in the nigiri. The Cajun seared hamachi sashimi was equally delightful -- beautifully presented and full of flavor. Dessert was difficult to choose because everything sounded amazing, but I ultimately went with the ginger crème brûlée served with lemon cream and anise cookies. It was the perfect ending to the meal, and I finished every bite completely satisfied. The cuisine here is exceptional, especially if you enjoy pan-Asian flavors like I do. Combined with the absolutely gorgeous ocean view, Japengo offers an unforgettable dining experience. Without a doubt, this was one of the highlights of my trip to Maui.

So today we walked over to check out the Ulu Kitchen located in the Westin Maui. Short walk from the Marriott Maui Ocean Club down the pathway. Sat on the deck overlooking the beach and took in the ocean breezes. Staff were very attentive and quick to get us settled in to our table. Our server Brandon happily took our drink order bringing back some amazingly cocktails. The Mai Tai had a decadent foam on top unlike your normal Mai Tai that truly made the cocktail unique. Brandon took our order and we took in the beautiful Kaanapali coast and people watched, our food came and we started with a Tako (octopus) prepared in an escargot style served with house made focaccia bread. Great way to start and the sauce full of garlic and butter. The salad was great with the option of chicken or local fish and I took the fish. The smash burger was da bomb! Great quality beef on A soft brioche bun, the French fries had a unique flavor twist prepared with a little rosemary, very good. Loved the feel of the room (if you call it that-solid roof flowing onto lattice and then palapa style umbrellas and completely open on 3 sides. Great music in the background with the ocean views ocean breezes superb cocktails and delizioso food. This was our "Linner" late lunch and early dinner. Bravissimo Ulu Kitchen not only will we be coming back and staying at the Westin we will be coming back to your cucina to dine again. Mahalo Nui Loa. Ciao

For breakfast, I got the Pete's Benedict and The Cure twice. Pete's Benedict was good, rich hollandaise sauce but couldn't eat it more than 1 day. The Cure is their version of ramen noodles with an Hawaiian twist, they put Kailua pork for the protein, along with an fried egg, and a bunch of veggies - carrots, bok choy, mushrooms, bean sprouts and onions. It was salty, but really good for a night of drinking. It's literally called the cure because it cures hangovers. lol. It was delicious. My husband got the blueberry and lilikoi pancakes one day, it was really good, very Hawaiian. And the kids menu was eggs, bacon and 3 fried potatoes. My toddler enjoyed it every day. They don't serve drinks until 8am, due to state laws. For HH we got the famous mai tai with lilikoi foam, they didn't do it well here. It was too much lemon, felt like you were drinking only lemon juice with some rum, but the lilikoi foam was consistent and good. Skip the mai tai and go to MonkeyPod, bartenders are more experienced there. Overall, we enjoyed breakfast here everyday.

My entree was the ahi tuna slightly seared. This restaurant is one of the only places I know that can cook an ahi tuna right. Other places we've been too tends to overcook it. Hula grill got it right. It was delicious. My husband got the Mac nut fish, and he said it was ok. He said it needed a better beurre Blanc sauce. Maybe with some citrus. It lacked flavor.
