Best Restaurants in Maui

Maui’s food scene is defined by the ocean, the farms, and the cultural mashup of Hawaiian, Japanese, Chinese, Filipino, and Portuguese cuisines that created something uniquely local. Here’s where to eat.

Local & Hawaiian

Mama’s Fish House (Paia, North Shore) — Regularly cited as one of the best restaurants in Hawaii. Oceanfront setting, fresh-caught fish with the fisherman’s name on the menu, and Polynesian-inspired preparations. Expensive. Worth it. Reservations essential — book weeks ahead.

Best Restaurants in Waikiki & Honolulu

Honolulu’s food is the result of Hawaiian, Japanese, Chinese, Korean, Filipino, Portuguese, and American cuisines mixing for over a century. The result is a food culture that includes poke bowls, plate lunches, spam musubi, shave ice, and some of the best Japanese food outside of Japan.

Local & Hawaiian

Rainbow Drive-In (Kapahulu) — Open since 1961. The plate lunch destination. Two scoops of rice, macaroni salad, and your choice of protein (loco moco, chicken katsu, mixed plate). Cheap, massive, and the locals’ go-to.
