The Maui table — what to order and where the locals point.
Mama's Fish House
On the beach at Kūʻau, with the fisherman's name printed on the menu beside your fish. Book six months ahead, genuinely.
Tin Roof
Sheldon Simeon's counter in Kahului — mochiko chicken and garlic noodles in a takeaway box. The best value on Maui.
Merriman's Kapalua
Peter Merriman's oceanfront room on a point at the north end. Hawaii regional cuisine where it was invented.
Star Noodle
Ramen, garlic noodles and pork belly bao, moved to Kaanapali after the fire and busier than ever.
Paia Fish Market
Counter service, communal benches, mahi mahi in a bun. The lunch stop before the Hana road.
