Best Neighbourhood Gem Restaurants in Upcountry

We love Star Noodle! I haven’t found an appetizer or entree that wasn’t delicious yet! Our group of friends always order the pohole salad, miso butterfish, chicken wings, steamed pork buns, bacon and eggs, hapa ramen, garlic noodles, pad Thai, Lahaina fried soup, Singapore noodles, and dim sum. I could keep going! Their desserts are great too. The only thing I would love even more is the option of having stuffed malasadas (with custard) instead of plain ones. That would be heaven for me, personally! The prices are very affordable and the staff are very friendly and attentive. Fantastic overall! Can’t wait to go there again. We’re so glad you reopened! Aloha and mahalo from your Maui residents!

We had another very enjoyable lunch at Tommy's. Always a good choice. This time around we enjoyed the char grilled filet mignon salad and we shared. Along with their wonderful warm baked bread it was more than enough for two people. We also got power favorite Pina. Colada cake as a dessert but decided to take it home with us to enjoy later. Another very wonderful dining experience at tommy bahamas. Our server, Greg, was very attentive and made a good suggestion for me to try a new beer on tap. It was also very enjoyable.

One of our fave spots over the years .. very accommodating for special diet requests (GF) & the food was outstanding!! Coconut shrimp & the hula pie are a must .. Magical sunsets that never disappoint & a great guitarist to entertain .. Mahalo for another wonderful Maui memory!

Wonderful old building with a delicious menu and nice beverages on offer. Our waiter, Joe, was exceptional as were the rest of the staff. Well worth it and a perfect spot to eat prior to our red-eye flight back to North America!

Loves every minute of our visit to MonkeyPod. Seated immediately on the side patio. Jess greeted us and brought us 3 Mai tais and a whiskey sour - delicious! Then we shared a Gem Salad and a Brocli Salad - both delicious but the Brocli was so unique we all agreed it was the best. Fish Tacos, Fish and Chops and Macademia Nut encrusted Mahi Mahi we all excellent but my Rib Eye was over the top. Cooked to perfection. We had a bottle of Tempranillo which paired well with everything and topped it all off with Banana Cream pie. Would recommend the entire meal all over again. Jess was an excellent waitress!
