A beloved Lahaina noodle house serving Asian-fusion share plates — the garlic noodles, hapa ramen, and Vietnamese crepes draw locals and visitors alike to one of Maui's most consistently praised casual restaurants.
Why It Belongs on the List
Star Noodle has been a Maui essential since opening — a noodle-focused restaurant where the garlic noodles alone justify the visit, and the broader menu of Asian-fusion share plates (hapa ramen, Vietnamese crepes, steamed pork buns, Sichuan peppercorn lamb) makes it one of the island's most satisfying meals at any price point. The atmosphere is casual and communal. Originally in Lahaina, the restaurant continues to be one of among the top-recommended dining experiences on Maui.
What Stands Out
- Garlic noodles — the signature dish, universally praised
- Hapa ramen and Vietnamese crepes — Asian-fusion share plates
- Among Maui's most consistently praised casual restaurants
- Communal atmosphere — best for sharing
- Excellent value for the quality
