Best Lunch Restaurants in Lahaina

Overall good experience. Made reservations for 7:45pm. I didn’t realize they had a lunch menu and dinner menu. We were actually more interested in the lunch menu but couldn’t order from it. (Totally my fault). We had potstickers to start, both varieties were very tasty. Pork shank, macadamia crusted mahi, filet and ribeye were ordered. Some garlic butter or zip sauce would be a great addition for the steaks. All were pretty good. Pork shank was very tender but lacked some flavor. Crusted crab/mahi was very good. Hula pies were a hit. Very light flavor - a thicker cookie crust would really set this pie off. We had a mixed service experience. The hostess appeared to be having a bad day but our server was very friendly and took good care us!

The fat was great and our server Michaela made everything even better as she was one of the best servers we’ve ever had. One of the top two meals we’ve ever had in Hawaii.

Took my family here on my second dining experience at Mala. It exceeded expectations once again and is now a favorite of my family’s as well. We were a table of 7 and had excellent service. Everyone of us devoured our dishes, including dessert. A trip to Maui is not complete without dining at Mala. Mahalo Joe and staff!

Great place to eat. Poke was fresh and flavorful. Oysters were good. Salad with peppers was a nice change. Fresh fish as an entree was really good. And lastly the desserts were decent as well. Server and staff were very attentive. If you come after sunset there’s not much of a view but I’m sure it’s a great view before sunset.

What needs to be said about Monkeypod - everyone knows it’s the best. Incredible food, unbeatable vibe and top notch service. We went for Christmas Eve - made our reservation a week prior. It was packed, but they got us seated just a few minutes after our reservation time. I had the Ahi tuna steak - still dreaming about the jalapeño mashed potatoes. My husband had the macadamia nut crusted mahi and we both had the legendary Mai Tai’s. There was live music, which was so fun - especially for our 2-year old who loves to dance. 10/10 - couldn’t have had a better experience.
