Best Restaurants with Bar Seating in Kaanapali

We love Star Noodle! I haven’t found an appetizer or entree that wasn’t delicious yet! Our group of friends always order the pohole salad, miso butterfish, chicken wings, steamed pork buns, bacon and eggs, hapa ramen, garlic noodles, pad Thai, Lahaina fried soup, Singapore noodles, and dim sum. I could keep going! Their desserts are great too. The only thing I would love even more is the option of having stuffed malasadas (with custard) instead of plain ones. That would be heaven for me, personally! The prices are very affordable and the staff are very friendly and attentive. Fantastic overall! Can’t wait to go there again. We’re so glad you reopened! Aloha and mahalo from your Maui residents!

A very pleasant addition to the rebuilding of the Lahaina restaurant scene. Food is creative, well prepared and tastefully presented. On this visit we enjoyed the tostada salad with a healthy chunk of expertly grilled mahi on top. In addition we indulged in the assassin burger, with tasty local beef that did not disappoint. There is an inviting happy hour menu just waiting for customers - if they know to get there before 5pm (we were there for dinner). Sunsets views are not the reason to go to Coco Deck - the views are of its sister restaurant across the street (Mala). The food is the star here. So is the ambiance. Off the deck and steps inside is a great sports bar with large screens showing various games. Parking will be a challenge until the land around the property is opened for more post-fire business traffic. Coco Deck is a great new find on Maui.

Merriman’s does not disappoint! The service is top notch and the food is amazing. I would like to note that I let the server know of my gluten allergy and he explained all the options that were available gluten free. When the food was delivered, it was announced that my meal was gluten free twice! It made me feel great that everyone involved was well aware. The surroundings are beautiful and the food is always fresh and delicious. We have been here to Merriman’s in Kapalua several times and the food and service are consistently excellent. I highly recommend dining here if you are looking for an amazing restaurant.

Sansei is our go-to sushi restaurant on Maui. Fish is super fresh. Amazing original dishes including the panko ahi roll and shrimp dynamite are musts! Daily sushi specials as well as daily sushi is A+.
