Japengo

Good food and drinks! Love this place but this last visit for a birthday dinner, after marking “birthday” on the special occasions reservation box and confirming with front desk person, there was nothing special. Let down for sure. Especially for this caliber of a restaurant! No excuses the server should have known…right?

Japengo offers stunning views with various seating indoor, outdoor, or mixed seating options. The food is extremely high quality and incorporates unique flavors that pair well. Definitely a unique and worthwhile experience!

Delicious all around! I wanted to try everything on the menu, it was impossible to decide! The bao buns and calamari were incredible starters, and the shaking beef noodles were a delicious entree as well, though somewhat overpriced, but it's what you can expect in Kaanapali. The location and view from the restaurant were amazing. Service was kind and water was constantly refilled! Would certainly return if back in the area!

Terrific quality all around with many extra mahalos to Yukako. Everything we had was excellent and the unagi nigiri was especially delicious... Cajun Hamachi was perfectly spiced and seared... might be my new favorite restaurant on Maui - please open another one on North shore!!

Meh. Garlic noodles were cold and just didn’t taste fresh. Fried rice was okay… “made to order” I guess means that everything is just mixed together after it’s cooked. The beef filet was pretty plain with avg BBQ sauce, which seemed weird. I expected a better sauce. Bao buns were very good. After our appetizer, it took at least 30 mins to get our main dishes. Everyone around us ate and finished. And 2 of our 3 dishes came out cold. We had a reservation right at opening and still had to wait 10+ mins to be seated.

The food was pretty good!!! The calamari was great!!! The fried rice could’ve been a bit better. A bit too salty! Overall though! Great food!! And loved the atmosphere and our waiter was amazing!!!
