    Ha gow
    Michelle C.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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!

    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.

    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!

    Pork  buns lacked a little flavor but then I dipped them in the ahi belly and it was great after that'

    Great service and nice atmosphere! Food Was great/ there is a long wait if u don't have a reservation. The drink wasn't great but the food was delicious and I recommend it!

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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

    Japengo is located inside the Hyatt resort and was an easy, short walk from our stay at the Westin…read more The outdoor patio alone is worth the visit -- the view is absolutely breathtaking, especially around sunset. We ordered the Unagi Roll ($29), Shaking Beef Noodles ($48), and the Kanpachi Kama ($37), which wasn't actually on the menu. They had run out of the Hamachi Kama (I overheard they only get about 3-5 per day), so they offered Kanpachi instead -- and it ended up being a great choice. While the prices are definitely on the higher side, that's expected at a five-star resort in Maui. Service was excellent, the atmosphere was stunning, and the food was delicious all around. For the views, quality, and overall experience, it was absolutely worth it. I'd recommend Japengo to anyone visiting Maui!

There was a line of people trying to make reservations also so book before or earlier. We arrived a few minutes early for the reservation and our table was ready. The restaurant is much bigger than I thought. Large covered dining area plus the dining on the newly renovated and extra large deck over looking the pool. Evening time was dark inside but the table lights were bright enough at the table and added the nice ambiance. Our server was so friendly and patient and I saw that she was on top of every request and order from all the tables in her section. Amazing skills! We ordered the white lotus mocktail, a OJ, kids Mac and cheese, curry dusted calamari, Korean seafood pancakes, pork belly bao, Rainbow and Shrimp Tempura rolls, and the blackened tuna roll. The dishes and sushi rolls are generous portions and we didn't understand or were starving. We ordered too much for the table. Even the kids Mac and cheese came in this huge bowl enough for two kids. All the sushi rolls were fresh and delicious. They were topped with this wasabi tobiko. I've never had anything like that, and I wished I had more to top other dishes. The Korea seafood pancakes were really crispy on the outside and light and doughy on the inside with the seafood. The sauce on top was great. If they had called this seafood hush puppies, I would have been happy with the order. Each piece was ginormous but didn't have much green onions. I was expecting the pancakes to have a lot more green onions. The pork belly bao buns had a nice pickled salad on top. The buns were not very fluffy but serviceable. The dish was ok. The curry dusted calamari was also just ok. Calamari was fried well and crispy. The curry dust was just not the flavor we liked. And it came with these grape halves around which didn't really go well with the calamari or flavor in my opinion. I think if we ever come back, we'll stick with the sushi menu.
