Maui Restaurant Review: Star Noodle - Don't miss this spot!

Star Noodle Restaurant Views - Front Street
Star Noodle
Location: 1285 Front St, Lahaina, HI 96761
When we got married in Maui (or when we got Maui’d) in 2014, our friends were all telling us how great Star Noodle was! We didn’t have time on that trip but wanted to try it if we ever came back. We came back every year since 2014 , but finally made it to Star Noodle in 2019 because we remembered to make a reservation in advance! We learned why everyone was raving about this place… the garlic noodles had us coming back the next day!

Pork Buns at Star Noodle
Location
In 2020, Star Noodle moved locations to occupy the old Aloha Mix Plate spot right on Front Street. We dined three times during the month we were there and tried many items on the menu.
We even had the perfect table right by the water at sunset! How lucky! Since Star Noodle is located next to the Old Lahaina Luau, we could hear and kind of see the show!
Safety Protocols
As of March 2021, you MUST have a reservation to dine in the open-air restaurant. Reservations can be made on YELP, I suggest making them 1-2 weeks in advance and check what time sunset is! Once you arrive, the host will take your temperature, then take you to your table. Masks must be worn at all times, except while at your own table.
Menu
Most dishes are fairly large portions and perfect for sharing so you can try more things!

Appetizers
We ALWAYS start with an order of pork buns (see photo above)! They come with 3 or 4 and the pork belly in that sweet bun is pure perfection.
We also are huge fans of the Nuoc Cham Wings! The sweet glaze with a slight crisp makes a delicious chicken wing!

Entrees
Always ask if there are any specials!
Our new favorite ramen dish is the Star Udon - Roast pork in a rich pork broth served with thick udon noodles! The pork is perfect and melts in your mouth and the broth will have you sipping your bowl by the end!
We LOVE the garlic noodles and HAVE to order them EVERY TIME we go. Our waiter taught us a neat trick, ask for the thicker udon noodles for the garlic noodle dish - game changer!
The Rib Eye was delicious and savory, smothered in delicious grilled onions. The market price changes based on how the chef is preparing the meat that day.
The Adobo Ribs are good, but we prefer the chicken wings. The meat falls right off the bone!

Dessert
Don’t forget dessert (I never do)! One of the nights we went, their ice cream choices included Ube Oreo, Mint mango, and Pineapple lichee. The consistency was interesting on these, but the flavors were outstanding.
