A Mid-Day Oasis on Front Street

Walking through the historic streets of Lahaina, you encounter Lahaina Noon, a casual spot that captures the unhurried spirit of Maui life. The air here carries a faint, salty tang from the Pacific, mingled with the savory scent of garlic shrimp sizzling on the flat-top. It is the kind of place where locals grab a quick lunch away from the heavy tourist foot traffic, sitting at simple tables while the tropical breeze pushes through the open-air layout.

Island-Style Comfort Food

The menu focuses on straightforward, island-inspired comfort food. Their take on plate lunches feels authentic, favoring hearty portions over pretense. You will find that the garlic shrimp—plump and coated in a buttery, pungent sauce—remains a clear favorite for those looking for a flavorful bite before heading toward the harbor. If you visit, be prepared for the pace; service moves with an island rhythm that values relaxation over rapid turnover.

What to Expect When You Arrive

Finding a spot to tuck your car away in this part of town can occasionally be a puzzle, so keep an eye out for nearby public parking lots early in the day. The space is modest, making it an ideal hideaway if you prefer a quieter meal compared to the boisterous waterfront bars nearby. Whether you are refueling after a morning of surfing or simply wandering through the west Maui coastline, this kitchen provides a grounded, honest meal without the fanfare of larger resorts.

The restaurant is beautiful with a great ambiance. However, the staff are just rude. We ate there three times and all three times we felt like we were bothering them. There breakfast is way overpriced considering our food was eggs with cheese that was cold. I would love to give them 5 stars but they need an entire new staff that actually appreciate having customers. The Royal Lahaina Resort is great but they are missing the mark with this restaurant.

fantastic views and remains open late. food is on the pricier end but super convenient if you’re living in nearby resorts. probably the highlight was spirit of aloha cocktail and fresh fish. their dinner menu is much detailed with fresh fish

Seated in the heart of the beautiful Lahaina Resort and Bungalows, Lahaina Noon serves up gourmet food perfect for all. We tried the seared ahi and lobster gnocchi, and were blown away by the deep savoury tastes and presentation - you can tell skilled chefs have been hard at work with every bite. The occasional live music they host is far too loud and really detracts from the relaxation, but it isn't every day and you are otherwise poolside. A bit on the pricey side, but is lobster ever cheap? Have a try for sure if you're in the area.

If I could give zero stars, I would. The food quality, taste, and service were all extremely disappointing. We’ve had fantastic meals across the island, but this was the only place we truly disliked. Staying at the resort, we chose it for convenience and came for both lunch and breakfast. We ordered four dishes, and every single one missed the mark.. how is it possible for everything to taste bad? The coffee was burnt, the potatoes tasted old and reheated, and the omelette had no flavor despite the added ingredients. Maybe it’s time for a new chef. Service wasn’t any better; our server only showed up twice—once to take the order and once to drop off the check. Easily the worst experience we’ve had on this island. I would not recommend coming here for food at all.

A beautiful spacious restaurant with bar seating, booth tables, chair seating along with pool side and ocean seating. Excellent menu, with many choices. You are waking into a Hawaiian paradise with luxurious dining and foods.

We ended up eating at Lahaina Noon four different times during our stay because it was very convenient to our resort and my wife can’t walk very far. We had lunch one day, breakfast one day, and got dinner to go twice, so I feel like we gave it a pretty fair try. Overall, I’d describe it as very average. Nothing was bad, but nothing really stood out either. The fish and chips were okay, and the ribeye was decent but a little fatty. The service was fine, generally friendly and acceptable, but not especially memorable. What stood out most was that compared to some of the other places we ate in Whalers Village, this one just felt below the standard in both food and overall experience. One issue they really seem to have is with birds and pigeons. Because of the open-air setup and high roof structure, there are a lot of places for birds to perch, and if a plate is left unattended for even a short time, they move in fast. We ate at other coastal restaurants nearby and didn’t experience that problem nearly to the same degree. In the end, it was convenient and workable for us, but not somewhere I’d go out of my way to return to.

We ate here several times during on stay at the resort! Beautiful outdoor view overlooking the pool and hearing the beach waves/feeling the breeze. We enjoyed their Mochiko-Fried Chicken most (super tasty) and Steak Ahi which was grilled with sesame seeds - very unique and tasty! The waiters were friendly and welcoming and I'm glad it was just steps away from the lobby and pool! Their breakfast okay was average - I'd recommend ordering from the menu which is about the same price and trying the local catch rather than the usual eggs/bacon you can get at home.

We ended up coming here more than once because it was easy, the views were ridiculous, and we could actually slow down for a minute. One of our favorite moments of the whole trip was grabbing lunch, splitting sandwiches, and literally watching whales from the table. It’s resort-area pricing, but the setting makes it feel worth it when you time it right. We featured it in our YouTube video, search for “Replicate the Magic” on YouTube to find it.

Had the best dinner during our time in Maui! Ford offered the best service, he proactively checked with us whether we are having celebration, and offered us the best dessert we ever had here. All other staffs are nice, with chill live music, very reasonable price. Highly recommended! Thank you for making our night bright!

T his is one of the best breakfast spots in the area! We were lucky to get in before the rush, or the wait would have been long. They offer both a buffet and a menu, but I highly recommend ordering from the menu—it takes a little longer, but it’s worth it. The coffee is basic, but the food stands out: the crispy, well-seasoned chicken and waffles, the fresh açaí bowl. You cannot go wrong with the French toast with fruit, and the flavorful char siu BBQ all made for a great meal.
