Best Lunch Restaurants in Kaanapali

We had a Valentines dinner and it was wonderful. I had the yellow fin tuna feature and my wife had the fresh catch mahi mahi. Both were perfectly cooked and paired with delicious sides. We also enjoyed the coconut shrimp appetizer which was totally unique, not fried like most. Exceptional. We rarely order dessert, however, our waiter offered their peppered pineapple ring in a sweet sauce that balances the fresh ground pepper, topped with yummy vanilla bean ice cream. Totally worth it.

We had a wonderful experience with a Valentine’s Day lunch at Monkeypod. My husband got the Mahi sandwich and I got the fish tacos. Both were delicious! We loved our server but didn’t get his name. Always have a great experience here.

The Mahi Mahi and Mai Tai (after stirring the pineapple foam in) were so delicious we came back a second time during our vacation. We come to Maui often and this has quickly become one of our favorite meals in Kaanapali.

The fork tender short ribs were delicious and our waiter was attentive.

A truly exquisite Omakase -- prepared with incredible delicacy by Chef Eima Yamada! We were excited to try a new restaurant on the Westside which was getting RAVE reviews from locals. It took us awhile to secure a Friday night reservation, but it was definitely worth the wait. Probably the tastiest and freshest fish I have ever had in my entire life. Definitely felt like you were dining in Tokyo!
