Restaurants near Lahaina Market Place Shopping Center

Monkeypod is definitely one of my most favorite restaurants on Maui. I go to both locations frequently, but Whalers Village is my favorite. The food is outstanding and the staff is amazing and the view is spectacular. I recommend this as a destination for all occasions.

Our first time there, and we had a great experience. We shared a large salad, and we each had the Catch of the Day (Mahi Mahi.) The food was fresh and cooked to perfection. Staff was very attentive. We sat on the patio, and the ocean breezes and view of the water was perfect.

We had a great meal on Christmas Day! Our server was excellent…I wish I had gotten his name. We weren’t rushed at all. One thing to note and the management might want to consider: we had a small dog with us and when I looked on website to see if they were dog friendly, I could find anything about that. When I called they said it wasn’t a problem and indeed it wasn’t an issue. They may want to add that information to their website for future guests (apologies if it is there and I just missed it). Thank you for the great day!

We always make it a point to eat at Star Noodle when we come to Maui. It never disappoints. We had miso butter fish, short ribs, and the vegetarian version of the Vietnamese crepe. Everything delicious. We were there for dinner after it was dark, so while we couldn’t enjoy the beachfront views, we could hear the waves crashing. So relieved this happening spot survived the fire.

We sat along the railing overlooking the gorgeous ocean sunset as boats pulled up to the sand. The views, food and service were amazing!
