   Mala is a must when you go to Maui. Right on the water, wonderful fusion flavors with friendly service. The Mahi Mahi with ginger and black bean sauce was delicious!

   Got table on patio. Views were great. China was our server, answered all questions and explained alternatives for food sensitivities. Happy Hour menu.We split coconut shrimp and burger. Both wonderful and perfect for late lunch. Other couple split ahi bruschetta and salad, really enjoyed. Great mellow singer/guitar accompanist in main room easily heard on patio. Posititive experience,ay return for breakfast.

   What a fantastic meal and service. The Ahi Bruschetta is amazing as an appetizer, and the Scallop Dish and Ahi Dish were to die for. Finished with a fantastic Bread Pudding with a Passion Fruit Sauce that was tart but perfectly balanced with the sweetness of the Bread Pudding and Vanilla Ice Cream. Highly recommend!

   Very disappointed. Usually love coming here. Food came out so fast we hardly had time to enjoy our beverage. Fish was undercooked and vegetables hard. It was like they were rushing to get tables turned. So disappointed.

   We were really looking forward to dinner at Mala as it had been recommended by relatives. We were seated promptly and staff were attentive. It was nice to be outside and we had a nice view of the water. Our drinks arrived quickly and the waiter did seem intent on getting us to order; fortunately we knew what we wanted. Our food arrived very quickly. The ahi tuna was quite good although they may want to rethink the mushroom sauce. The scallops were a bit rubbery with no seasoning at all and didn’t have a good sear to them. Like they’d been cooked at too low of a temperature for too long. We didn’t bother with dessert and were back on the street in just a couple of minutes under one hour from when we arrived. Reasonable in general but we don’t think we’ll rush to come back.
