Lahaina Noon at the Royal Lahaina Resort has become a must-visit stop for us every time we're in town. We truly appreciate the relaxed atmosphere, with a less crowded restaurant scene that lets us unwind. The free parking is a huge bonus, and the friendly service always makes us feel welcome. The view of the ocean is absolutely breathtaking, and it's not unusual for us to spot humpback whales playing in the distance during our winter daytime visits. For lunch, our favorites are the Mahi Mahi fish tacos and the poke bowl, both of which are consistently fresh and delicious. On our latest trip, we decided to branch out and try the Paniolo Beef Smash Burger. We were so glad we did--the burger was outstanding, with beef that was both juicy and perfectly crisped, served on a soft brioche bun. It was definitely a highlight! This year, with the holiday rush, we also chose to have our Christmas dinner at Lahaina Noon. The dinner buffet was impressive, featuring prime rib, ham, chicken, stuffed seafood pasta shells, mashed potatoes, and a tempting selection of desserts. I especially appreciated that they also offered a limited dinner menu, which gave us even more options. While most of our group enjoyed the buffet, I opted for the Crusted Mahi Mahi dinner with fried rice, and it was fantastic. Overall, we had two wonderful dining experiences at Lahaina Noon. Between the great food, welcoming staff, and unbeatable ocean views, we can't recommend this spot enough. We look forward to returning again and again. read more

We ate at Lahaina Noon our first night in Maui, and honestly it was the perfect way to start the trip. Right off the plane and straight into a Maui sunset with drinks in hand. Hard to beat that. The vibe here is excellent. It's right on the beach and poolside, so you're basically eating with ocean views and sunset colors everywhere. Definitely gives you that "we finally made it to Hawaii" feeling. The drinks and beers were solid, and the next day we came back and ordered the poke plate. The poke was very good and the portions were big. Prices were definitely on the higher side, but that's kind of expected at a resort restaurant. We also tried breakfast here. We ordered the chicken and waffles along with eggs, sausage, and potatoes. The chicken and waffles honestly were not that great, but the traditional breakfast was good overall. The biggest surprise was the bill. Breakfast for two people with no drinks was around $100, which felt pretty steep. Service throughout our stay was good and everyone was friendly. Overall, this is a good option if you don't want to leave the resort or just want a relaxing meal with an incredible atmosphere. But if you really want the best food experience in Maui, I'd still recommend venturing out and trying more local spots. Great views, relaxing resort vibe, good service... just be prepared for resort pricing. read more

This place was okay, they didn't put salt on my bfs to go order steak and he had to force himself to finish it since they were closed already... silverware also didn't have salt packets The pasta gnocchi was delicious read more

2nd try here during our stay. We only consumed 1 cup coffee as again the buffet condition appeared questionable. I watched kitchen staff inspecting the buffet and it appears that they are ok with this condition. Management knows about this and condones this behavior. Shame on Royal Lahina for fleecing their package guests. Breakfast off site is the plan for the rest of our stay. read more

The ambience is nice. The prices are very high. If you are vegan, I would just go somewhere else like the a'a roots cafe or somewhere off the resort. It was a huge expense and really wasn't adequate for such a nice hotel. Service was OK. read more

We stayed at the Royal Lahaina and we could always count on this place for good drinks! We ate here for the breakfast included with our hotel reservation, there were plenty of options each morning. We also ate dinner here one evening and really enjoyed the poke tacos, ahi dip and truffle fries. All yummy and fresh. read more

Food was a bit salty. We got the chicken wings which was overly sauced. The special cheese flat bread had way too cheesy. Service was poor. It was not busy and the waiter never came back to refill our water. He only came back to give our bill. read more

Lahaina Noon is located in the Royal Lahaina Resort and Bungalows. I've tried their buffet breakfast, garlic Truffle parmesan fries, the tofu and the beyond meat veggie mock sandwich. The place has a nice ambience and vibe. You have wonderful beach views and great music. The buffet breakfast has decent vegetarian options, which was a huge plus point for me. Loved the fact that I had more options to choose from. The sandwich was okay though. Didn't enjoy my lunches as much as I enjoyed the breakfast. The service too was average. We had one guy helping us who was very sweet but most of the times, it was pretty average! read more

don't order the mochiko tofu. i added it to my miso caesar salad & it was bland, flavorless, & tasted like flour. i also asked for extra dressing on the side 3 times with 2 different people & finally received it after 30 minutes by the 4th person we asked. deeply disappointed with my meal. the lettuce pieces were bigger than my first so i had to cut them up myself. common sense that if you're eating a salad, you might want to have bite-sized lettuce. i also got ice in my double tito's that i asked to be "neat" & didn't want to trouble them again because of the delayed extra dressing. two stars for location right in front of the second pool & sunset views of the beach. you're better off doordashing a meal & sitting on the beach or lounge chairs. don't recommend. read more

While staying at the bungalows for a week we are here three times- once for dinner, once for lunch and once just for dessert. All three times were wonderful! The view itself is a winner. The staff is so friendly and dedicated. The food, is outstanding- the Mahi Mahi dinner entrees-substantial portion, the lunch was large too- poke bowl and fish tacos were fantastic! And our dessert and tea was lovely as well. We had such a nice time here we did not want to leave and hope to return one day!! read more

My wife and I came here during Happy Hour and really liked it! The restaurant itself has a nice, sort of retro atmosphere that fit with the mood of being by the beach with a beautiful view of the water and the islands. We ordered the hamburger with a small salad and a chicken sandwich with fries and a cocktail. The Paniolo beef smashburger was $19 and the Mochiko fried chicken sandwich $16 and both were a really large size. The cocktail we had was called "Cruel Sun", ironic given how good it tasted. Happy Hour is from 2pm to 5pm so if you don't mind eating (and drinking) early it's good value. The waiter we had was super nice. All in all, a laid back dining experience. Given that it's Hawaii that's what we wanted. read more

Lahaina Noon is a restaurant located inside the Royal Lahaina Resort & Bungalows. It offers both indoor and outdoor seating with a beautiful view of the beach.

Lahaina Noon - Breakfast Buffet - Hawaiian Near Me - Lahaina, Hawaii

This is a restaurant at a resort. The food is average to good and and in my opinion overpriced if you don't have a resort credit to use. We stayed at the resort and ate breakfast here most days. The breakfast buffet is fairly standard options (oatmeal, home fries, pancakes, bacon, toast). They do have a menu to order from as well but the food we saw looks like they dished it up from the buffet line and served it. We had dinner here one night and it was good, not great. Staff are very friendly and attentive. Good to eat here if you are staying here, but would not make the trip just for this restaurant. read more

During our stay, we ate at the buffet every morning as it came with our reservations. It was okay, some days were better than others, but the bacon was always good. It'd be awesome if something could be done about all the pigeons that harass you for your food, but at the end of the day they're harmless and the ocean side views just make everything better. read more

The food was great! We had two starters, the shrimp cocktail and the pork lumpia's. For our mains we had the smash burger with fries and mochiko fried chicken. The views were amazing. Service was great as well. read more

Perfect restaurant - post beach, pre pool! We stayed at the Royal Lahaina, so we got breakfast here every morning and lunch here one day... The breakfast was a breakfast buffet and they had everything from fruit, to quiche, bagels, pancakes, eggs, sausage, and bacon... there were definitely options for everybody! For lunch we just got the shrimp cocktail and ahi tuna dip and they were both DELICIOUS! we wish we got more... The service was quick and the bar staff were extremely kind. It is more kid and family friendly, post beach and pool day so definitely more laid back! read more

This restaurant is new and doesn't have many reviews, so I'll make this pretty in-depth. If you don't want to read all of that, here's the bottom line: Food in the Ka'anapali area is expensive, and some restaurants don't deliver what you'd expect for the price. However, Lahaina Noon is a pleasant exception, offering mouthwatering dishes, breathtaking views, and a memorable experience. They succeed where many of the most popular restaurants in this price range fall short. Now for the in-depth part: Food: Lahaina Noon Shrimp Cocktail (GF): Fresh and juicy shrimp paired with a bold Banana Ketchup Cocktail Sauce that complements them perfectly. Pull-Apart Hawaiian Sweet Rolls: Warm, buttery, and topped with what I believe is sea salt, providing the perfect balance of flavor. Ahi Poke Tacos: Fresh tuna with creamy avocado mousse and a nice kick of spice. Mochiko-Fried Chicken Wings (GF): Crispy and juicy with a tangy-sweet sauce. Slightly over-sauced but still delicious. Seared Ahi Tuna: Tender, flavorful tuna that melts in your mouth. They subbed the wasabi mash for kimchi fried rice on request, and it was insanely delicious. Grilled 12 oz Kurobuta Pork Chop: Exquisite, juicy, and perfectly cooked. Chicken Marsala: Moist, flavorful chicken with a fried preparation that was perfection. Royal Seafood Cioppino: The freshest seafood I've had on the island, paired with hot, juicy pasta cooked al dente. Service: The hostesses were incredibly helpful, giving us all the options for seating our table of six. Our server was personable, friendly, and responsive. There was a hiccup with the drinks, but they resolved it quickly and even gave us the extra drink from the mix-up. While the food did take a little longer to arrive, the timing was on par with other restaurants in the area. Ambiance: Since the restaurant is located inside a hotel, the outdoor ambiance is perfect. There's a stunning view of the sunset and beautifully manicured landscaping around the outdoor seating. The entire restaurant is thoughtfully designed, classy with a touch of Hawaiian flair. read more

This is a tradition to come to the Royal Lahaina & Lahaina Noon for dinner. We've had many family memories here. My cousin used to sing & play music there (which we were kind of sad they don't do that anymore other than brunch) but Ford and his team were great!!! Ford has been there for over 20 years and is Soo nice, friendly, and welcoming. He treats you like family. The food was delicious and the atmosphere was beautiful. Please go and experience this beautiful place. read more

This is a pretty tourist trappy restaurant. My wife and I spent $187 for a date night here and with us being in Maui for 9 days and eating out for breakfast/lunch and dinner every day this place was the most expensive out of all of them. The service was great and the wait staff and bartenders were all amazing. For the price we paid, though, the food was just okay. Portions were quite small and wasn't justified by crazy flavors or anything exotic. You can most definitely find better places around that are significantly cheaper. read more

The buffet is a no from me. Not a lot of options and just eh... But cute place and nice staff.

Lahaina Noon - Just OK We had heard good things about this place, so we wanted to give it a try. Overall, it was just okay. I was a little disappointed with the menu options, and for the price, the food felt below average. The garlic noodles tasted like something that came straight out of a box, which was surprising given the hype. On the positive side, the salad and tofu dish was good -- the tofu was well-marinated and probably the best thing we ordered. Glad we tried it and got it out of our system, but I'm not sure I'd return. It felt a bit expensive for what it was. read more

Extremely overrated and overpriced. $80 for a Ribeye that was burnt... then it wasn't seasoned at all, no flavor and just flat out terrible. What kind of chef burns a medium-rare steak? Oyster "shooters" are terrible as well, extremely salty and $8 for just one lol. The fish we ordered was very bland and hard as a rock too. But hey at least the drinks were good! At $20 a piece.... read more

Okay I mean the atmosphere is unreal. I felt transported back to 1968 with the booths and even the waitresses vintagey uniforms. It's all open air with spectacular views. Seriously unbelievable. The servers were very sweet and attentive too. The food however was a bummer. The best thing about the breakfast buffet was the overnight oats. Everything else was honestly substandard. If I hadn't been sat in a booth I would've been hugely underwhelmed by the whole experience. read more

RAW CHICKEN, Unaware Manager (Ivan), terrible food quality, terribly priced. My family left very disappointed and worried that we may be sick for the rest of our stay. We got tacos afterwards.

The view is pretty spectacular. Is it overpriced? Not really, it's pretty similar to any other hotel restaurant. We really enjoyed the mochiko chicken wings, probably our favorite menu item. Second is the ahi wonton tacos which were really tasty and good variety of texture. The garlic shrimp rolls were good but looked sad in presentation and size. Our kids loved the chicken tenders and fries. We also tried the mahi mahi with kim chee fried rice. This was just okay, definitely ask for ginger scallion sauce on the side so rice isn't drenched in oil. Kim chee fried rice fell a little flat. Drinks were strong, staff was friendly. read more

This place was amazing. It was right next to the tennis courts we would play at, and after going once, this was our go-to for lunch. The atmosphere was very chill and there was a great view of the water. The staff was overly polite and attentive. It was great service all around. I wish I had more pictures to share, but I started devouring the food before thinking to get a picture. Here is what I had. Everything I would recommend and order again. The smoked Ahi dip was really good. The shrimp crackers were good, but could be a little bigger to get a bigger scoop of dip. I loved the lunch plates. I tried several variations with different proteins. The Garlic Shrimp came with 6-8 huge shrimp. It was a lot of shrimp for a lunch plate. I also tried the lunch plate with the grilled mahi mahi and also the grilled marinated pork. All of those tasted great and were good portion sizes. The Kula Greens, Pineapple Kimchi and Mac Salad were perfect sides for the plates. This will be one of the first places I go when I come back. I wish they had a place in LA that I could go to all the time. Amazing place! read more

Lahaina Noon - Grilled Pork Skewers - Hawaiian Near Me - Lahaina, Hawaii

Happy Valentines, they said. The website only allowed to book a table for two. The experience was advertised with couches on the lawn and firepit. The only seating options available outside was a view of the sunset through metal poles holding up the tin roof that pigeons scratch around for. The entire experience was non existent. There was a single oyster in a shot glass for the first course. I had to get up and ask at least 3 people about the wine pairings, which never arrived. The fish was cold when the manager's manager's supervisor told the waiter's supervisor about which wine is paired with the fish. Every photograph is timestamped to show the 40 minute wait between morsels of tastings. Then came the check, for something I prepaid when I reserved. They couldn't find my reservation in their computer. I walked out when the dessert was being removed from the table while I was waiting for a to go box. I have a stomach the size of an egg and it all fit. I don't want my money back -- I want my time back! What an unbecoming situation (and now I have it charged to my room, plus a prepaid charge). read more

Located at our hotel, we really were surprised by how good the food and drinks were! I'm usually a picky eater for breakfast, but they gave the best options for all! The service was incredible, they always made sure to take good care of us each day. No better place to sit and watch as the sun peaks over the mountains or sets while having a wonderful meal! read more

Would like to have had a lettuce salad choice, perhaps a small caesar.The steaks were excellent. Service from Lyle was super freindly and cordial. Ahi dip incredible, but wife did not favor the shrimp chips; perhaps another chip choice. Sunset was terrific: I love to eat atmosphere. This has always been one of our favorites. It's also appreciated that they respect Kamaaina. We used to park our golf cart on the lawn but the last time we got a ticket. Maybe a dedicated golf cart parking area? I don't think gthey would tear up the lawn. read more

Wonderful experience! Wasn't sure what to expect from this off the beaten path restaurant. Immediately fell in love with the "modern" old school Hawaiian decor. I was convinced Mr. Roake was going to come greet us at some point, but did end up meeting Ford the very nice manager that came to check on our party. Our server Cara was the absolute sweetest and genuinely seemed happy to be serving us, which doesn't seem to be very common on the island anymore. We had a 6pm reservation outside (by request) and it was hot even with a nice breeze. When Cara walked away, we all talked about how nice it would've been for staff to be in something other than pants. We sort of felt bad for them while we were all wearing flowing dresses and shorts in the heat. Dinner was delicious and came out all together and was plated beautifully. We plan on going back for breakfast and having mimosas. Did I mention how gorgeous the view was? read more
