I liked the other location better this one is too bright and cafeteria like table next to us had two screaming kids making a mess jumping all over the bench I was sitting on parents just sitting there ignoring them. Staff said nothing couldn't wait to get out of there. Food was ok probably won't go back. read more

Fun and unique place to eat with a beautiful view of the ocean. We came in with a big group, ordered just about everything on the menu and shared it all. It was a great experience and super delicious and very flavorful! Dinner: - Pad Thai - Nuoc Cham Chicken - Garlic Noodles - Tofu & Green Papaya Salad - Adobo Ribs - Look Moore Fun - Singapore Noodles - Cantonese Green Beans Dessert: - Star Screams - Annin Doufu read more

The miso butterfish was hands-down the star of the night - perfectly flaky with that rich, savory glaze that had us scraping the plate clean. Don't sleep on the garlic noodles either; they're thinner than what you'd expect from a typical garlic noodle dish, but it was good flavor. The Asian short ribs were another highlight - tender and saucy. The green beans were the one miss for us - nothing wrong with them, just unremarkable compared to everything else on the table. Stick to the fish, the ribs, and the noodles and you're in for a great meal. read more

First time visiting here, and I came based on a recommendation. I was excited to try it, but overall the experience didn't quite meet my expectations. I made a reservation for lunch and didn't realize it would be a dim sum-only menu, so that was a bit of a surprise. We ordered the garlic noodles, Lahaina fried soup, and har gow. The garlic noodles had good flavor, but were a bit too salty for my taste and slightly dry, which caused them to clump together. The Lahaina fried soup was an interesting and unique take on chow fun, though it also leaned on the saltier side. The har gow was decent, but didn't particularly stand out compared to other places I've tried. Overall, I can see the creativity behind the dishes, but I think some adjustments in seasoning and texture would really elevate the experience. Glad I gave it a try, but not sure I would return given the price and expectations. read more

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. read more

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! read more

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. read more

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! read more

We found this place while looking for the most reviewed spots on the island. We walked in without a reservation but the staff were super kind and helped us with a table with minimal wait, even when they were sold out for the night. Their garlic noodles are the star and something to die for - very flavorful and savory. The ramen on the menu was great as well. They were very accommodating of our dietary restrictions as well. Coming to the ambiance, it is like heaven on earth! Magnificent views of the ocean and natural sound of waves just make it the prettiest place on the island. read more

We did not have reservations, but tried our luck with a party of 5 a little after 5pm and were able to sit at the bar (even with our 5-year-old). The food was amazing - I think the best we had in Maui. Our favorites and things we would definitely order again: 1. Miso Butterfish - our server recommended this and it was all of our favorite dish 2. Cantonese Green Beans - so good with a little heat 3. Garlic Noodles - yum! We could have easily ordered a second bowl. 4. Malasadas - We should have ordered one for each of us because they were perfectly cooked and delicious! We also had the Pad Thai, Tempura Shrimp, and Pork Buns, and they were all good too. Cocktails and mocktails were all perfectly balanced and fresh. Next time we'll make a reservation in advance to sit in the dining room, but we'll definitely be back! read more

The worst meal we've had in Maui. The tempura shrimp wasn't crispy, the pad Thai had no flavor- zero. The butterfish was ok and the happa ramen was underwhelming. We had a reservation but arrived early and ended up sitting at the bar- it wasn't busy. The service was terrible- they couldn't be bothered. read more

Loved everything about this place! Came on a Sunday and they had a Dim Sum Menu for lunch. Service was great from beginning to end. Ambiance was perfect with the outdoor ocean view setting and indoor feeling at the same time. Food was delicious. My favorite was the Nuoc Cham Chicken- Chicken Wings, Peanuts, Mint, Cilantro! Can't wait to come back and try the dinner menu! Definitely recommend if in Lahaina! read more

I recently took a trip to Maui. I have not been since COVID, but the last time I ate at Star Noodles. the food was so good. The portions of the dishes reasonable sizes for Sharable dishes. This time I went, I found out the original location is not the Mixed Plate Restaurant & Star Noodle took Mix Plate old location which is across the way. Both Restaurants share a very small parking lot & there is very little street parking. You can go across the way and find parking at the Lahaina Cannery Mall. For food the quality & taste of the food was still good. The dishes are still sharable, but a lot smaller more like appetizer size, but the cost is the same as if you ordered a full plate. I like great food at a reasonable price & amount. Hopefully this temporary until Lahaina fully recovers. read more

Hate the 3-star rating but this place is mid at best. I've been to a lot of Asian restaurants, especially in NYC, so maybe my standards are high but the flavors here really fall flat. Maybe a cause of trying to do too much? For the long wait times to get a table, the cost, the value was just not there for me. We only sampled a small amount of the menu so I hope others have better opinions of their dishes, but I can't really recommend the two noodles dishes we had. HOWEVER!!! Pork buns were glorious and their mango dessert was delicious! I could be convinced to go back for those. Ambiance is right by the water. We went when it was dark but I'm sure in the daylight it's gorgeous. read more

Star noodle was one of our bucket list restaurants on our Honeymoon in Maui and we were so happy to have gotten a reservation a day before our trip ended. The restaurant was very lively and had great views. Their dim sum food was also excellent. I do recommend coming early in the day if you want to try it out but were not able to make a reservation. read more

Very good place to stop in while in Maui. Food is always top notch just wish it wasn't always reserved out so long in advance but hey, when you're good you're good. Service and ambiance always awesome. Go early if no reservations they can usually seat you before the rush as long as you get in get out. Aloha read more

Food is unique and excellent. Server was knowledgable and friendly and fun! It's Hawaii, the ambiance is amazing, just watching the ocean. read more

My girlfriend suggested we try Star Noodle during our most recent weekend getaway to Maui, and I'm definitely glad we did! Food was absolutely awesome. We initially had a reservation at 8:00 PM but we got there early to see if the staff might be able to accommodate us in a crowded restaurant, and thankfully one of the bar tables was available at 7:15 PM so we went with that. Service was great and efficient overall. Parking can be very difficult but we got lucky to find a spot right as another family was pulling out. I had the Garlic Noodles (which is one of the dry noodle menu items) and loved it; flavorful and delicious! There are not a lot of vegetarian options overall, which is okay in this sense. Many of the items on the small menu do still look and sound appealing. We'll plan on being back at Star Noodle down the road! read more

We made reservations for dinner: 7:45. Understand it was busy, but we didn't get seated until 8:10. That seems excessive. Our server, Honey, was great. She was helpful with choices, friendly and helped get our meal out. We asked for all of our food to come out as it was ready. The pork buns came our first and quickly and delicious. The octopus was also very good. So good, we ordered another order. The garlic noodles came out next and we waited and waited for the next dish. The garlic noodles were salty; it seemed like it was seasoned with fish dashi powder. In the meantime, we added ramen. The additional order of octopus and ramen came out and we were still waiting for the ahi. We had to ask Honey about it and she got it to our table. Drinks were good, but expensive. The malasadas were a bit doughy, and we had to wait a while for them. Their new location has a warm, inviting farmhouse feel. The bathrooms were clean, but the trash was overflowing. Maybe it was the end of the night. Parking was difficult, but we got lucky. At one point, we thought we should have taken Lyft. read more

We enjoyed this spot for comfort food on a rainy day. The staff was extremely friendly and ready with recommendations. The atmosphere was lively and the food was delicious. I highly recommend the crepe; the flavors and textures are fantastic, but be forewarned, it's a bit messy. The noodles are stellar and I'm a sucker for a perfectly done soft boiled egg. Definitely a great spot to try whether you live on Maui or just want to get out of the resort for a meal. read more

Star Noddle was our last restaurant that we visited during our trip to Maui and the best tasting vegetarian dishes! What was surprising was that the prices are great for the location and the views! We had an ocean facing table. Our server did a fantastic job recommending best dishes for vegetarians. The green beans are too good, I'd highly recommend!! read more

I basically never write reviews but I felt passionate about this one. This restaurant is way overhyped and is most definitely NOT the caliber of restaurant to be requiring your credit card info for a reservation. Overall, the food was mediocre at best if you live somewhere with decent asian food. This business would not survive in the Bay Area. We ordered the steamed pork buns, chicken wings, and Shanghai noodles. The buns came out lukewarm (not hot - zero steam when we opened the steamer) and the quality was that of a decent grocery store. The chicken was the best dish we got. They had a good fry and solid flavor. The Shanghai noodles really lost us. This "Asian fusion" dish really lacked cohesion in both flavor and texture. It was hard to eat. The cherry on top was that it came with exactly 2 pieces of shrimp but tons of chicken. Our server came by and kept asking "Everything is so good right?" which just left us wincing and saying "Yeah..." A lot of the negative reviews are saying this place used to be much better. I wish we could have experienced it then! This meal was the biggest disappointment of our entire trip. I would not recommend this place to anyone and would not come back. read more

Absolutely great experience. The owner had made my experience one of the best first time experiences at their establishment. We had to order the noodles twice and loved every bit of them. The wait staff was top tier. The owners pride in his family business was incredible. From someone who owns and runs a business themselves, I will always be sure to return every time I'm on the island. 10/10. read more

Similar to others, we were influenced into coming here thinking it was one of the most popular spots on Maui. Definitely overhyped. We had made a reservation but waited about 15 mins past our reservation time since it was pretty busy and they were short staffed. We ordered the Garlic Noodles, Lahaina Fried Soup, and the Miso Butterfish. Garlic Noodles: Didn't like the type of noodle they used, it was too skinny and I'm used to garlic noodles being thicker. Noodles were also a bit dry. Portion was decent except for being a plain noodle dish, but you can add protein for an extra charge. Lahaina Fried Soup: Didn't really like the noodle on this one neither, texture was a bit gummy. I feel like it needed a sauce. The bean sprouts were also too raw. Miso Butterfish: Definitely the best dish of the night. The fish was perfectly flaky, moist, and evenly cooked all the way through, and somehow even the middle of the fish had absorbed the miso umami flavor. The inside was nice and trendy and probably has amazing views when it's light out (we had a late reservation) but overall wouldn't recommend. read more

We had an wonderful dining experience at Star Noodle. Our dear friends who have been here before could not stop raving about this place, and now I can understand why they love it here so much! Made it just in time for our 6:30pm reservation. We were greeted and seated as soon as we arrived. This quaint open and airy resto had bar seating, as well as, ample tables and chairs inside. We came just in time to see the amazing sunset. The service was wonderful and our food and drink orders came out in a timely manner. All their dishes were bursting with next level umami and beyond! I'll just let the pics do the talking. There were no leftovers because we ain't quitters...LOL! Cheers and happy eating till next time... read more

Tried a few different items this time. Food was still stellar: -Udon with Pork Belly: smoky broth was yum on this one. -Miso Butter Fish: super fresh super buttery - Shrimp Dumpling: firm bite, shrimp seasoned well Service moved quickly tonight. Our food was out quickly. Not in bad way, just trying to get as many hungry folks fed. My favorite taste of the night: Sunday Night in Kyoto. This is a must try drink. Fresh apple cordial, oolong tea and Japanese whisky. It is on the sweeter side but the oolong keeps it fresh tasting. Very drinkable and dangerous! Star Noodle remains our fave! read more

We were very excited to try this place and unfortunately we left extremely underwhelmed and disappointed. It started off with the really tall, large, hostess not being accommodating or welcoming AT ALL! I'm talking bare minimum here. We made a very simple request, which we were totally fine with it not being accommodated- but it was the way that she replied to the request that set an ugly tone for our dining experience at Star Noodle. Again she's probably the largest woman working there, I think she is caucasian. We ordered the tempura, garlic noodles, kimchi, shortrib and the hot n sour. The tempura was very average and pedestrian, no real flavor, didn't stand out above any other tempura I've had before. The garlic noodles were hilariously dry. Like the texture of dry tangled hair. Really bad. The kimchi was ok. The shortrib was the highlight of the meal. The hot and sour soup wasn't very good. It had this smokiness that I wasn't expecting. Prosciutto in it was an interestijg choice, that didn't enhance the soup. Aside from the shortrib being the only good item that we ordered, our waitress was very kind and friendly, but even her sweetness couldn't make up for how ugly the hostess treated us. It was unacceptable. I wouldn't come back here and I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone. The prices don't align with the quality of the food read more

Kimchi was excellent. All the mocktails were good.. not too sugary but a bit expensive for the quantity. Garlic noodles had a beautiful delicate flavor. The pork shumai, Garlicky green beans were all superb. For entrees, we shared the Hot and Sour Ramen, and the pork Udon- both were fantastic. The Pork was so succulent it literally melted as you ate it. Prices were a bit steep for the place. The decor was a little wanting for a 4 dollar sign place. Also, we had booked the place on Open Table - and mentioned we had a birthday to celebrate - and they didn't even bring it up. Completely lacking in attention to detail. read more

Star Noodle is one of the few remaining Lahaina restaurants after the fire and they've managed to keep up a lively and vibrant atmosphere in old town Lahaina. The waitstaff were all very kind throughout our meal and the ambiance was very hip and fun. I enjoyed my old fashioned cocktail, although it did taste a bit on the sweeter side to me. As for food, everything was absolutely delicious. We had the steamed pork buns, grilled octopus, and avi avocado For me, the stand out was the ramen - plenty of dimension and flavor in the broth, delicious noodles, and melt-away meat. I enjoyed the pork buns and the ahi avo a lot but the ramen still was my favorite part of the meal. The service did feel a bit disjointed throughout our meal and I think is an area for improvement. Our waiter asked if we wanted our dishes spaced out, and in what order. Despite that, everything came out at the same time and we ran out of space on the table. We also had multiple dishes delivered to our table that we did not order. Overall, fantastic food and atmosphere and I would certainly recommend! read more

The food: it was just okay, but tbh I was too angry while eating it to make a non biased review. The issue: A lack of professionalism, communication, and accountability. This was not an understaffing problem. Short staffing can explain slower service. It does not explain dismissiveness, assumptions, or failure to recover from a mistake. Terrible service experience with Isaiah. He approached our table with a "Can I help you?" attitude (and those were his literal words) without introducing himself as our server. Unlike every other restaurant we dined at in Oahu and Maui, no water was offered; we had to ask for it. There was no, "Hello, apologies for the delay. We're short staffed tonight." I would have been more understanding about that if that was the initial approach. He informed me that my outside coffee was not allowed in the restaurant and needed to be transferred into one of their cups. I told him it was fine to put it in a paper bag instead since I wasn't planning to drink it during dinner, but he insisted on using a restaurant cup. I responded, "Okay, sure, whatever you want to do is fine," meaning whatever container he preferred was fine. At no point did I say to throw it away. When the coffee never returned, I went to the bar to ask about it. He told me, "Well, you told me to do whatever, so I threw it out. You were confusing." There was no apology and no attempt to offer a resolution for the misunderstanding. He also did not check on our table once during the meal. We observed him interacting with other tables around us (who were all white), and he took the time to greet them warmly, walk them through the menu, and check on their food. I'm not making accusations here, it's an observation that may have led to the service we received. We were told that they were short-staffed because a waiter had walked out earlier that day, and Isaiah was covering multiple roles (assistant manager/waiter/buser). However, we did not observe any negative attitudes provided to his other tables, and food timing did not appear to be an issue. Additionally, we had called earlier in the day to request moving our reservation 30 minutes later and were told that was not possible. Ironically, we were seated 30 minutes late anyway. Overall, the experience was disappointing and lacked basic hospitality and professionalism. read more

Star Noodle - Asian Fusion Near Me - Lahaina, Hawaii

Food was delicious, portion for the garlic noodles was small compared to other dishes that have meat and more ingredients

We have been coming to Star Noodle for years, ever since its original warehouse-style location on a hill in Maui. We have supported them through every change, move, and menu update. Unfortunately, tonight was the first time we left truly disappointed. Our waiter, Andy, started off very friendly. However, the moment we mentioned that we were not interested in ordering drinks, something shifted. His tone, energy, and level of attention noticeably declined. We understand that restaurants and servers depend on drink sales, but the change was so obvious that it took away from the experience. We ordered our longtime favorite dish, the Vietnamese crêpe, and immediately noticed something was wrong. It arrived cold and completely soggy. It was not only soggy where the filling sits but even the top layer, untouched by anything, was limp and rubbery, with oil seeping off of it. Despite my family feeling awkward about it, I asked Andy if this was normal. He looked confused, did not directly answer, and only mentioned that some parts are supposed to be cold. This was not a matter of temperature preference. It was clearly not prepared correctly. What surprised us even more was that he did not offer to replace the entire dish. Instead, he asked if we just wanted a second pancake shell. Since no other option was offered, we said yes. The second one came out warm and crispy, which showed us exactly how the first one should have been, but by that point the experience had already taken a downturn. Note: the recipe has also clearly changed since the last time we were here. The start of the show, the mushrooms are no longer in the dish!! We had planned to order more food, but after the uncomfortable interaction and feeling more like a burden than guests, we decided to end the meal early and leave. After so many years of loyalty and wonderful memories here, tonight left us disappointed and a bit sad. We truly hope this was just an off night, because it did not feel like the Star Noodle we have loved for so long. read more

Star Noodle was surprisingly good, and we got our share of hype! The restaurant was beautifully designed, modern with an Asian flare, and was overlooking the ocean. We spent very little time looking around because the food was so fn good. Every bite was amazing, and our server had the perfect recommendations. It was like she put together our own omakase. Best bites: Nuoc Nom Chicken was fried super crispy yet light! The mint cilantro honey were the perfect flavor bomb combo for these wings Miso Butterfish was flaky, sweet, and melted as soon as it hit your mouth The steamed pork buns were soft and pillowy, hand made perfect vehicles for the roasted pork belly and pickled veggies Bacon and eggs was like pork belly fajitas Everything was delicious.

5/5 Ambiance, service 3/5 Food 3/5 Parking Upon arrival at 5:30pm on a Friday night, the parking lot was completely full and so was the street parking in proximity of restaurant. So we ended up having to park a few blocks away, so make sure you arrive early. Ambiance and decor was very Japanese forward. Located right on the water, it's so beautiful during sunset. Coming from SoCal where there's a lot of amazing Asian food.. the Shumai and pork baos were not good imo. However the MISO BUTTERFISH was amazing!! It's so tender that it melts away with a fork. Portions are pretty small. I would come back for the ambiance and the miso butterfish. read more

Great location with a beautiful sunset view. The food was just ok. Portion sizes are very small. My favorite was the steamed buns but even those were more bun and very little meat.

Not much aloha from him! read more

Always very busy. Reservation is a must. Servers are attentive and knowledgeable about the food. Ambiance is great with high ceilings, good lighting, and has limited outdoor seating. We've been to star noodle twice and tried a variety of dishes. Ramen was very good. Noodles were cooked just right, broth was flavorful. Everything else was good but does not warrant waiting a long time for a table if you don't have reservations. I felt it was more hype than anything. If you can get a reservation, then definitely go. If not, I don't think it's worth waiting for more than 30 minutes. read more
