Menu Highlights & Must-Try Dishes

The menu at Dang Dang Noodle is a thoughtful exploration of Asian-fusion techniques, emphasizing bold flavors and high-quality ingredients. Guests frequently rave about the following signature items:

• Crispy Four Cheese Wontons: These golden, deep-fried parcels are a texture lover's dream, featuring a savory, molten interior that perfectly balances the crunch of the wrapper.

For those with dietary preferences, the restaurant is notably inclusive, offering innovative vegan noodles made from potatoes, ensuring everyone can enjoy a bowl of authentic goodness.

Insider Dining & Tips

As one of Napili’s newest additions, Dang Dang Noodle has quickly gained traction. While the restaurant is spacious, peak dinner hours (6:00 PM – 7:30 PM) can get busy. We recommend arriving early or calling ahead to check on current wait times. Because the restaurant is a newer establishment, it currently operates with a BYOB policy—making it an exceptionally affordable evening out for those who wish to bring their favorite vintage of wine or local craft beer. Keep an eye out for updates on their full bar service as they finalize their liquor licensing.

Location & Parking

You can find Dang Dang Noodle conveniently located at 5095 Napilihau St, Lahaina, HI within the Napili Plaza. The plaza offers plenty of free, accessible parking, which is a rare and welcome convenience in Maui. Situated just doors down from its sister restaurant, Joey’s Kitchen, it is perfectly positioned for those exploring the beautiful coastline of West Maui, including the nearby Napili Bay and Kapalua resort areas.
