Amazing dinner from beginning to end Andrew was our server for the evening and continues to trend of people named Drew being outstanding. He gave us the rundown of how things are served as soon as they're done and that one shareable per adult is recommended plus an app. I disagree with that and say 1 shareable per 2 adults and an app is fine. The Korean fried chicken with sauce and peanuts was a thing of beauty. Covered and I mean covered in the sauce and peanuts. If you get this, ask them to cut it for you. It will be a challenge and it will be messy. Even covered in sauce it was still extra crispy. While I got the Korean fried half chicken my wife and daughter are vegetarian and got the garlic noodles, fried cauliflower, and birds nest. They loved their meal and said the fried cauliflower was the best, followed by the birds nest. Great for vegetarians and non vegetarians
Nice fancy casual dining place in Wailea. Food was pretty tasty, but a little pricey. We skipped out on the Korean fried chicken, which is what they're known for (maybe next time!), but highly rec the garlic noods. Dishes are sharable size, so definitely bring a friend or two to feast. ;) Highlight: the Kung fu pandan cocktail was a hit! It's a clarified milk drink. I'd come back for this cocktail alone!!
As a guest on the island, my host insisted on me sampling good local cuisine and we ended up at Lineage, 'Best in' many categories of Maui restaurants Local Maui resident Sheldon Simeon opened this Asian Fusion place in 2018 after being a two-time "Fan Favorite" on Bravo's Top Chef (Seasons 10 and 14) Based on family style eating where plate are shared, the service is amazing Local produce, elevated versions of classics make this a must-go-to if you ever make to make it across the Pacific Ocean No photos of the Ahi Poke, featuring a sliver of fried Spam (the unassuming star of Hawaiian cuisine) However, what you see here are the Garlic Szechuan Noodles, Lapa'au Oyster Mushroom "Birds Nest" and daily Steamed Fish You will definitely NOT be disappointed Simple Amazing
First things first ALL of the staff here are so nice and genuinely seem like they enjoy being there. The food was AMAZING. some of the best food we have had on any of our trips to Maui so far. Definitely let them cut your chicken up for you, I thought I could do it and then realized if I tried it would fly everywhere, safer to let them help. The bacon and clam dip is super tasty and the lions head salad is one of the best my husband has ever had (his words) I cant say enough about the Cantonese Lobster Noodles. Everything was perfectly cooked. Would definitely recommend this restaurant.
After a very long day of travel, we arrived for our reservation- starving. Lineage is located in a shopping center, open air outdoor seating and tiki torches. Full of sounds from the hustle and bustle of a popular dining spot. The staff was friendly and helpful. Our server answered all of our questions and made great suggestions. We ordered the fried chicken and got both sauces on the side, garlic noodles and their pickled cucumbers. This was one of the best meals we've ever had- so far, Lineage has the best Mai Tai I've tried on the island. It's a popular spot, make a reservation.
I literally think this is the most special food on the island. Everything is so unique and flavorful. The Aji Tamago eggs and lions mane salad are life changing. Shout to out Tiana, so attentive kind and knowledgeable ! They were the cherry on top of our experience here. 1000/10! Also pandan bread pudding is perfection.
Located on the Shops at Wailea walking distance from the Grand Wailea. Reservations made on Open Table despite the current Storm our dinner at Lineage was delicious. The server was very professional and friendly. The bacon clam kim chee dip was really good served with won ton chips. The lobster pasta was rich and tasty with a lot of lobster pieces. The wagyu served with bone marrow and garlic rice was another rich and tasty dish. The desserts we had were excellent perfect ending to a wonderful dinner at this higher end restaurant. Perfect for families or date nights.
Lineage was the best restaurant my fam and I have been to during our trip to Maui! It's got an Asian inspired menu with a great cocktail/mocktail menu. It's got a bunch of outdoor seating and a few tables inside. From start to finish the service was great. Our waiter carefully explained the menu and helped guide us on how many dishes to order for our table. For the food, we started with the Kimchi Bacon Clam dip, Upcountry Farm Salad, and Shrimp & Scallop Croquettes as appetizers. The Kimchi Bacon Clam dip was served room temperature which was a bit of a disappointment but had a good flavor. It kind of tasted like a cheesy fancy chip dip and was served with crispy wonton strips. I would skip this appetizer in the future. The farm salad was really fresh and had some nice sweetness from the fruit and beets and some crunch from the Mac nuts and crispy wontons. I would recommend getting this as an app to share. The croquettes had a taro filling and reminded me of fried dim sum dishes. We enjoyed this so I'd recommend it. For mains, we split the local Fish of the day, garlic noodles, birds nest, and the Korean fried chicken. I would highly recommend all of these dishes. The fish was prepared Chinese style, steamed with a fresh ginger and scallion topping. They also used a little Chinese fermented black bean which gave it a nice umami flavor but it wasn't too overpowering. The fish was delicate and there was a ton of meat, the 5 of us in my group could not finish it. The Korean fried chicken was also huge, literally half a chicken! It had a super crispy coating with a sweet and spicy glaze topped with crushed peanuts. It was a bit of a hassle to cut the chicken but it was worth it as the meat was tender and the skin/coating gave it a nice flavor. The garlic Szechuan noodles had a nice texture and flavor while having a slight kick to them from the spice. They really complemented all of the dishes well. The birds nest was also very good as it had fried taro noodles topped with a tasty gravy and vegetables. The taro absorbed the gravy over time so definitely suggest eating it quickly so it's still crispy with the veggies. Definitely try to stop by if you can while you're in Maui, Lineage is miles ahead in terms of food quality and taste of the other heavily marked up generic restaurants in this area.
Friend made a dinner reservation and we were promptly seated. Food so good it became one of the highlights visiting Maui. Desserts were alright but the entrees were good portions and delicious. Cantonese lobster noodle Korean friend chicken Steamed fish - highlight, extra crispy spin Shrimp and scallop croquettes Pandan bread pudding Toasted coconut panna cotta
If I could give lineage 6 stars, I would! This was the perfect meal to end my shopping and beach day in Wailea and I couldn't recommend more. Every dish we had was delicious and the service from every person was outstanding (shoutout Joey at the bar!). The drinks were phenomenal and bamboo fo you is a great non alcoholic option that's super refreshing. The starters were both a 5/5; croquettes are very taro forward and the remoulade sauce was a great accompaniment. The aji tamago was an insane umami/savory bomb (slightly salty if you're not into that). The Korean fried chicken was a show stopper and sooo juicy and crispy at the same time! Garlic noodles were a must to go with whatever entree you order. The desserts were both super unique and delicious (slight preference for bread pudding). Overall a great experience with food and service and will definitely be coming back :)
Amazing dinner in Maui! The host and waiters are all so nice and made the experience even better. Cocktails are great - the old fashioned comes out smoking! For food, we shared the Aji Tamago, kimchi bacon crab dip, shrimp and scallop croquettes, and the lobster Cantonese noodles. Honestly, everything was super delicious and fresh, especially the lobster noodles. There were so many chunks of lobster inside the noodles and the sauce they came in was a butter Xo sauce - i could drink that stuff! I also really liked the Aji Tamago, which was their own version of deviled eggs. Only thing we weren't crazy fans of was the kimchi bacon dip. It was too strong / creamy. Regardless, would definitely recommend you try this spot!
We came to Lineage after hearing good things and were told by our waiter that everything on the menu is meant for sharing. Sounded great, until the food started coming out. They had a special called the Oxtail "Phở"rench Onion Soup. The waiter described it like it was a pho, so for $32 I figured it would be a nice big bowl of pho noodles with a twist. Nope. What came out was the tiniest bowl of soup with a piece of bread on the side. No noodles, no real portion to share -- just a small cup of soup. Honestly, it felt misleading. On the positive side, the drink menu is very creative and actually really good. Lots of interesting cocktails that fit the fusion vibe and were well-balanced. The space itself is modern and stylish, and the staff was friendly enough, but the overall value didn't match the prices. Bottom line: creative drinks, beautiful space, but the food portions and descriptions need to be clearer -- especially when charging $32 for what's basically a small appetizer.
I was really looking forward to eating here, unfortunately it was a letdown. I ordered the Garlic Noodles and Croquettes. The croquettes were good, not great, just good. The Garlic Noodles, however were very disappointing. They tasted like basic ramen noodles that had been boiled, then quickly stir fried and sprinkled with Tajin and garlic powder. Unfortunately, both the food and service were mediocre. Based on this experience, I will not be returning.

My friend and I came to Maui for the first time and we had so many suggestions on where to go to dinner but this place popped up on my yelp and was close by our hotel. By far, the tastiest place we've eaten so far not to mention the service was immaculate. Our waiter Christian was beyond amazing. This place is a must!!! read more

The most incredible experience on Maui I've had in a while. Living in North Kihei, I should have been there already, but when my brother was visiting and he had prior amazing meals here, I definitely felt like I should go. Starting with the drinks and appetizers, I knew it would be a very special visit. The house made noodles and incredible 1/2 chicken were super as well as the poached fish in ginger broth that included the collar, yum. Super interesting bread pudding with papaya frosting finished the meal. Thoughtful and attentive service! Thanks Josh, you're the best! read more

Having dinner at Lineage in Wailea was by far the best dining experience I had during a recent trip to Hawaii. A friend actually recommended the restaurant to me without knowing that I was staying within walking distance, so it was a win/win. I walked in on a Tuesday night without a reservation and they were on a wait for a table, but luckily I was able to snag a seat at the bar. The bartender was friendly, attentive and extremely knowledgable about the menu. I ordered the Garlic Szechuan Noodles and they were so, so delicious. The portion size was huge and I was super bummed not to be able to take leftovers back to my hotel (had nowhere to put them). I would absolutely recommend Lineage as a dinner spot and will definitely go back next time I am in Maui. read more
Really great service at this place. We made a really late reservation (only one available) about a week before arriving to Maui. Luckily we were staying at the Grand Wailea (walking distance if not for our toddler) to the shops and to the restaurant. Lots of cute inventive cocktails and appetizers. Our daughter was already sleeping so they accommodated us with a booth where she proceeded to sleep during the entire dinner. Food was good, inventive, we stuck with most of the appetizers. Our neighbor got the lobster ramen which looked pretty amazing. We did have food envy but because it was so late we didn't want to go overboard with food. Would certainly recommend if you are staying in Wailea. read more

To this day, we still talk about our experience here. Not only because of the food, but also because of the service we received from the friendly (and funny) staff. The food was really great, so tasty and brought some familiar childhood flavors for me. The restaurant is located inside the Shops at Wailea. Make sure to make reservations read more
Delightfully exquisite restaurant that is an absolute "must-do" (or must eat!) in my opinion! My husband and I couldn't get a reservation in advanced so we called them on a Sunday afternoon; to our surprise they had openings and put us down for that night without a hitch. We sat outside while enjoying the warm Maui evening breeze. We each got a cocktail - Buddha Belly (don't be fooled by it's translucent appearance it's quite complex and fragrant) and Galleon (beautiful and seamless blend of Montenegro, mezcal, tequila, and pineapple tepache). I would totally go back there just for drinks alone! Now the food... omg so damn delicious! We started with an appetizer of Aji Tamago which were soft boiled eggs with potato foam on top. Somewhere they snuck in truffles. I've never had anything like this before. The bites were small but memorable. We shared a plate of Garlic Szechuan Noodle and the Szechuan Beef Stir Fry. The noodles were well seasoned without being overly greasy or salty. The stir Fry came with juicy tender beef slices, taro cubes (honestly I only like my taro savory) and Napa cabbage. The numbing "ma-la" heat definitely caught up with us midway through dinner - but it was well balanced and didn't ruin the rest of dinner. This is definitely a pricy place although I would have expected to shell out more $$$ in the SF Bay Area for an equivalent experience. Go make a reservation now! Or call ahead - your culinary adventure awaits you at the Lineage! read more

Omg, this is my first trip to Maui, and dinner here was awesome. The service exceptional and the food unbelievable delicious. We had the special of the night, PATA , which means in Spanish leg, pork leg. It was amazing. The short ribs were amazing as well. Tiana was our server. She was funny, knowledgeable, professional and the best! Awesome dinner and place read more

Asian fusion with a great savory balance. We enjoyed everything we ordered! The service was friendly and prompt. Water glasses refilled multiple times without us even asking. The food comes out pretty quick. Easy to add on to the order if you didn't order enough.Cauliflower Curry, Korean Fried Chicken, Smashed Cucumber Salad, Garlic Noodles, Crab Fried Rice... all delicious! read more

We came here on a recommendation while on vacation in Maui. We were pleasantly surprised with great service and great food! My daughter ordered ramen and loved it! We had a bunch of different dishes, the Korean Fried Chicken was excellent! We also ordered the Wagyu Kalbi Short Ribs and Garlic Szechuan Noodles. They were even accommodating of my 6 year old son and made him a separate pasta dish. The restaurant is small but in a great location at the shops at Wailea. We had a great experience and will definitely come again. read more

The food here is just incredible!! We came for an early July 4th dinner and dined outside. Service was great; everyone was friendly and attentive (even those that were servers for other tables). We started with the aji tamago (5/5)- smooth, creamy, and unique and the croquettes (5/5) - bold, spicy, and a punch of flavor. Highly recommend both dishes- they are not your typical appetizer. For entrees- we shared the Cantonese lobster noodles (5/5) - these were a very rich buttery flavor with an EXTREMELY generous portion of lobster. Finally the Korean fried chicken half (5/5) - do not skip the topping! The server helped us with cutting this up and it was just perfect. The chicken was so juicy and the sauce and peanuts on top were flavorful, spicy and crunchy making for a perfect bite. I would definitely come back and get all these dishes mince again. We tried a few cocktails which were all delicious you really can't go wrong. The location is also conveniently set near the shops. Highly recommend checking Lineage out for a lovely dinner. read more

The best asian food on the island with deep roots related to the island life and lovely staff. The evening we were celebrating some successes and it was made perfect with amazing food, great service and warm hospitality of the staff. It has become a new suggestion I give all my friends and family who are planning to visit the Island. Would 100% recommend it. read more
Wow! This is high quality Asian cooking with creative twists. The kalbi short rib was so tender and flavorful that we got 2 orders! Later, we were told the secret to the tenderness is they sous vide the meat for 24 hours before grilling. We also got the oyster mushroom and taro birds nest, which was unique and tasty. read more
Family style meal ordering- my favorite so you can get a taste of everything! My only complaint about Lineage was one of my cocktails tasted like gasoline. I was not sure what was making it taste like this, but I looked around the restaurant and others were sipping on the same cocktail. I told the waiter (which I never do) but they kinda brushed it off. The spam masubi cocktail is AMAZING, and comes in a fun little spam container. Food was delicious. The noodle dish was my favorite. read more

Lineage is a good dinner spot in Wailea. The restaurant gets pretty packed so reservations are recommended. They also take walk-ins. We did a walk-in to the restaurant and got seated at the bar. They have both outdoor and indoor seating. We tried the Ahi Poke & One-Ton Salad for our appetizer. The Poke was fresh and the salad was filling. For the main course, we had the Korean fried chicken. It comes with a kochujang glaze with peanuts or jalapeno- garlic finadene. They only have limited number of these daily so it's recommend you order this dish early on. The portion sizes are large and it's great for sharing. We tried the garlic noodles as well and it was delicious! Their cocktails are excellent too! We had the Maneki-Neko (Egg white and vodka drink) and Don Szech Juan (Illegal Mezcal & Chinese five spice). Highly recommend both drinks. The service was great and they followed all COVID-19 guidelines. read more

If I was writing a review solely based on the food we ordered I'd bump it up to a 4, but the service was by far the worst we experienced while in Maui. Such a bummer, because we heard from friends that this was one of their favorite restaurants they visited! We had a Saturday night dinner reservation. I'm sure they were extra busy because it was a Saturday. However, over 20 minutes passed and we still weren't seated or given an estimate of when we'd be seated. We asked for an update and the hostess didn't acknowledge they were well past our reservation time, and just said she'd let us know. Then, she made someone waiting for a takeout order move from a high top table next to the hostess stand so we could eat there. She didn't even wipe down the table! Thankfully, another employee noticed our confused looks and offered to move us to a regular table further back in the outdoor seating area, which we took her up on. Once seated, we waited another 10 minutes for someone to come over to our table. We were so annoyed at this point that we didn't order cocktails or appetizers, which we would've normally. We ordered the black pepper crab fried rice and the wagyu kalbi short ribs for our entrees. Both dishes were delicious; I love fried rice dishes and Lineage's version had a strong pepper flavor without overpowering the pieces of delicious crab. The short ribs were melt in your mouth good. If the service had been better we would've ordered more (I had my eye on the honey garlic shrimp and the crispy shrimp & scallop toast too). However, we were really turned off by the entire experience, despite how good the entrees were. We ended up going somewhere else for drinks and dessert after. From other Yelp reviews I read, it seems like other people had better luck with in-house service, so it's possible we caught them on a bad night! read more

We came here for dinner one night with a reservation and the women who checked us in gave us a salty taste. We stood in line while her colleague was assisting another customer. The other women saw us and didn't acknowledge us but we didn't think much about it because we thought she wanted to take care of the customer in front of us first. Then another couple showed up after us and she walked up to them with her iPad and check them in even though we were in front of them. Then she came us to check us in. Then she brought the other couple who came after us in to sit down under the covered area with fan while we got seated after them and was as far away from the fan as possible. We complained since it was too hot and she told me they can't do anything about it. Worst customer service ever. With that being said, the waitress and food was amazing. If it wasn't for the waitress and the food, the check in experience would get a negative star. read more
If you are ever in Maui, you must try this place!! But make a reservation weeks in advance bc they get booked up so fast! I made my res 2 weeks in advance via open table. There's a parking lot right in front of the restaurant and it was free when we went at 8:30pm. A friendly host welcomed us and showed us to our table. Our server was amazing. They had great recommendations on the menu. Their cocktails were so delicious. My personal favorite was Maneki Neko but all their drinks were really good!! As for food, it's family style so we shared everything. We started off with the crispy shrimp and scallop toast which was excellent. Crispy and buttery. Loved the dip too. Their grilled octopus was so good as well. Then we moved onto the main dish. Oh my goodness. Their portion was so generous. I would order the wagyu over fried chicken if you had to choose one or the other. Wagyu kalbi short rib was scrumptious. It comes with a side of beet salad and garlic rice. Crispy fried chicken was HUGE. The sauces were pretty good. Highly recommend getting both on the side so you can try both. (Personally liked the jalapeño ones better). We were so full but we still ordered 2 desserts bc why not?! We ordered the lilikoi tapioca and brownie s'mores. The lilikoi one was much more tart than I expected but it was good! If you like something sweet, I'd order something else but if you want something refreshing, this is the one for you. Brownie s'mores was very rich and sweet. It is like a lava cake with marshmallow on top. So overall, service was excellent, food was delicious, and we left the restaurant very happy :) I'd definitely come back on my next trip!!! read more

Took my husband here for his belated birthday dinner. We order 3 dishes to share and a dessert. Short ribs was really good Lobster noodles was a little on the salty side Steam kampachi in soy sauce with ginger and green onions was really good as well Pandan bread pudding was delicious too! Our server Josh was very helpful and awesome for the recommendations read more
Lineage was my top dinner when we visited Maui. I'm so glad I got reservations! We ordered the crunchy shrimp & scallop toast, charred tako with potato, wagyu kalbi short rib, and garlic szechuan noodles (less spicy for my fiance). Everything was amazing but the stand out dish was for SURE the wagyu kalbi short rib. It seems like a small portion of beef but I appreciated the huge bone marrow that came in it. You're supposed to mix the bone marrow with the garlic rice to make it "bone marrow rice," but I ended up taking a 1/3 of it and eating it with the short rib. It was soo tender and marinated perfectly. The crunchy shrimp and scallop toast came out hot and with a yummy dipping sauce. Perfectly crunchy and hot in temperature, it was fun to eat. The charred tako was tender and complemented the potato & chips. I was a little disappointed in the garlic szechuan noodles because they weren't that garlicky, but we ordered it "less spicy" so maybe the flavor in general was lighter. Service was excellent and I would love to come back whenever we're on Maui again. I need to try the Korean fried chicken next, I heard it's amazing! read more

Great service and excellent food!!!! I ordered the Cantonese Style Noodles with Lobster and they were delicious. The dish is very rich but it's incredible. I also ordered the shrimp croquettes. I found them to be just ok. All of the food I saw being delivered looked incredible. You can tell they really care about serving good food here. I highly recommend read more

Went to a number of nice restaurants in Wailea during our time there, and Lineage was above and beyond in terms of high quality food and atmosphere. We had a peanut salad, Korean fried chicken, and garlic noodles - so much umami! If you're from the mainland (we're from NYC) and generally eating at places like The Restaurant, Morimoto, Spago, etc, this is going to be the meal you'll remember when you return. Highly recommend! Book ahead, as it was full for almost a full week on the day we went. read more

Lineage was by far our favorite meal of the whole Maui trip and we also went to Mama's fish house. I went to Maui with my fiancée for the first time at the beginning of December and we stayed for five nights at the Wailea Beach Resort (which is within walking distance to Lineage). We were not planning to eat at Lineage on our trip, but walked by and checked it out one night before making dinner plans the next day. I usually stay away from Asian Fusion restaurants because they usually mean "Americanized" Asian food, but Lineage takes pretty traditional Asian dishes and flavors and puts a unique twist on them while keeping their roots. Plates are meant to be shared here and many of the main dishes are pretty large. We ordered one salad, two share dishes, and one dessert and we were completely stuffed afterwards. Food: - Lion's Mane Mushroom Liangban Salad - I have never had an Asian salad like this. We LOVED the Lion's Mane Mushrooms as well as the other mushrooms. It was such a delicious and unique fresh tasting dish. I will still be dreaming about it. - Garlic Szechuan Noodles - I thought these were pretty decent, especially the portion size. I definitely could've used more Szechuan spice though since they didn't even have much of a kick at all. - Fish From Local Waters (steamed kanpachi) - You can either get the fish fried or steamed, but we chose the latter. It was steamed Cantonese-style, which is with lots of ginger and green onions. The twist was a black-bean truffle sauce which served the fish well. It was probably the best steamed fish I have ever had! - Pandan Bread Pudding - We are not usually bread pudding lovers, but this was delicious! It was not too sweet and the bread pudding was not as heavy as we thought. The POG cremeux on top was tangy and blended well with the pandan flavor. Our only regret is that we couldn't eat more food. The wagyu short rib and the fried chicken also looked so good, but we could not try everything with our party of 2. Service was really great with our server Nick. He explained the menu to us and gave us his recommendations. Overall, really great experience at Lineage from end-to-end. Definitely would recommend trying it and making reservations in advance on Opentable. read more

I loved it! The ambiance and service was exceptional! From check-in to check, the service and hospitality was excellent. We had: aji tamago, shrimp and scallop croquettes, lobster noodles, steamed kampachi and vanilla tapioca. The aji tamago (marinated 6 min egg) was more interesting than exceptional but it was really good. It could maybe use a pop of something but I would get it again; it was thought provoking. The croquettes and lobster noodles were amazing! Order it! I loved the steamed kampachi. It was steamed with ginger, black bean and truffle oil. Truffle oil can be overpowering but it COMPLETELY worked with this dish. Honestly, this was my favorite bite featuring truffle oil. read more

Great food and location!! We enjoyed everything. I specialized the cauliflower dish and the schezwan noodles. So good!! We also order e birds nest and enjoyed that as well.

This was really good! I give it 4 stars instead or 5 because I personally really loved 2 of the dishes we got, but was meh on the other two. Loved: Crispy Shrimp & Scallop Toast - this was small but delicious and super unique. Crispy but not painfully crispy. Loved: Wagyu Kalbi Short Rib - this was really good and actually felt like an experience with several components that were all very good. The bone marrow is a tiny portion but still, very good. Okay: Korean Fried Chicken - huge portion and well cooked, it was juicy. But it was just chicken, nothing super unique in my opinion. The pickled radish was very good. Get this if you're very hungry! Okay: Chocolate Ganache Dessert - a little bitter and not sweet at all, which isn't what I'm looking for in a dessert. Looks pretty though. Service was good and we'd happily eat here again! It was relatively easy to get a reservation too. It's also nice not to worry about parking since there's a huge free parking lot at this outdoor mall. read more

The food is delicious and we loved it so much we considered canceling our other reservation to go again. We had the chicken, the fish, lion mane salad, eggs, and cauliflower.

We were trying to find a restaurant that would be great for a thanksgiving dinner with family for our vacation and Lineage delivered! Originally our reservation was at 8:45pm which was pretty late, but I called that night as we were browsing the mall that the restaurant was in and they called back not too long to let us know they can seat us at 7:30pm. FOOD - Aji Tamago: small but delicious. The eggs were marinated in what seem to be soy sauce and dashi which gives the eggs that umami flavor along with the truffle mushroom sprinkled on top. The egg is also topped with a light foamy potato whipped cream that balance the savoriness of the eggs and mushroom. Definitely get this dish. - Lion's Mane Mushroom Liangban Salad: this was so good and they don't skimp out on the lion's mane mushroom. - Crispy Shrimp & Scallop Croquettes: we were sad that they didn't have the shrimp and scallop toasts anymore, but our server let us know that it was because based on feedback some people said it was oily and greasy so they reinvented the dish to be croquettes. Same flavors but less greasy. So we ordered the croquettes and they were delicious! Crispy and light on the outside and soft on the inside because of the taro filling along with the shrimp and scallop bits. It's a lighter version of a fried taro meat ball that you would get for dim sum. - Cantonese Lobster Noodles: this dish was smaller than expected, but was great. As someone who is Cantonese, I can appreciate that this taste like how my dad would make it and the noodles are not too greasy either. - Steamed Kampachi: this was one of their special that night and we could've had it cooked in different ways, but we chose to have it steamed. The steamed version is Cantonese style in which the fish was steamed in black bean sauce with green onions. The simplicity of the dish was great and is similar to how my mom would make it, but the kampachi was a bit chewier (more lean) then I liked. - Sweet Potato Pie: this purple sweet potato was one of their specials and oh man it was the best dish from this dinner. There was so much going on with this pie - from the crunchiness of the shortbread tart, pistachio and toffee like bits to the creaminess of the sweet potato filling topped with a toasted fluffy cream. - Pandan Bread Pudding: we had to get this pudding along with the pie because it looked so decadent from other reviews. This bread pudding did not disappoint! Super creamy and gooey inside but I loved the crisped top part. The POG (passionfruit orange guava) cream was tangy and delicious. - Black Cherry Mint & Lychee Hibiscus Sorbet: We celebrated my boyfriend's sister's birthday as well because we missed her birthday and the restaurant gave two complimentary sorbets. These two flavors were mind blowing. They were strong yet the delicate that it wasn't overwhelming. DRINKS - Maneki-Neko: highly recommend this cocktail not only because it's cute with the lucky cat, but actually taste good. It's not too sweet and it's light. - Pua Colada: a floral and fruity version of the colada, I'm not much of a fan on rum cocktails but this drink is actually made with gin so it's super light and easier on the belly. - Daily Double: a non-alcoholic drink of Lilikoi honey, lemon and pickled strawberries. I've never had picked strawberries before but the tartness of the strawberries wasn't overwhelming and balanced well with the overall sweetness of the drink. I would definitely come back here if I can to get more of the desserts and drinks. SERVICE Our server was great and helped us make recommendations and even came back to let us know if we wanted to order the special, Kampachi, they can do a quarter pound less than what they originally had. They were attentive, came by often to refill water, and really do treat you like Ohana as they continued to emphasize throughout the night. read more

A small but super interesting menu... with fresh, quality ingredients and amazing flavors. You can tell the chef cares about the food he puts out. The Korean Fried chicken was out of this world. We got it with sauce on the side (because it honestly doesn't even need it!) but preferred the jalapeño garlic sauce over the gochujang. We shared that with the seasonal vegetables, which were also fantastic. Service was excellent. A chill atmosphere. Would go back in a heartbeat! read more

Top 5 meal my party and I ever had the privilege of having. We went here in late April, and we had a phenomenal server (whose name is escaping) but he was in his 30's, tall, and was extremely passionate about working there and was quite funny too. We did a trust the bartender on our order, based upon our server's suggestions off the alcohol we liked. Drinks were absolutely incredible. Really blown away. The food is also incredible, as we had the Wagyu short rib, the fried chicken and several other dishes. Truly 5 stars all around, and you can tell this place really cares about sending you home happy. read more

Ask the Community - Lineage
Where is the ideal placer to sit?
Outside is really the best but we also like the bar inside (for 2). The bartenders are always very friendly and helpful about drinks and food!
We will have a three year old with us. Is there something on the menu for him?
We discovered that the keiki menu in Hawaii means kids menu. If you go to the Lineage website and look under other menus you will find their Keiki menu. We didn't have children with us so I can't tell you if the keiki menu items are good or not.
Do they still offer the tasting menu here? Thank you!
I'm not sure, they didn't have a lot of what they used to offer so I would definitely call first and check.
Which dishes should I avoid - I can't have ginger?
I can't tell you that, but the staff was very knowledgeable and can steer you in the right direction.
Do you have a special tasting menu?
I have only seen special menus during holidays and/or their anniversary date. But, it is fabulous food you should definitely try them!
This is tough! I'm trying to make plans for my 5 year anniversary and my dinner is tomorrow. I was given 3 recommendations. This was one of them, Mama's fish house, and Ka'ana Kitchen! Does this establishment have like a surf and turf option as well?
No. It's not a traditional menu. Neither is Kana kitchen. However, those are our two favorite restaurants in Wailea. Think eclectic menu at both. If you want traditional food - Mamas Fish House.
What time(s) and days are there happy hour?
There is no longer any happy hour as of 9/20/21
Is there Gluten free?
YES!! If you make the wait staff aware they will happily guide you thru their menu. 🌺
Are there vegan dishes? I have three vegans in my party.
Yes they have some vegan options.
Aloha Lineage, My wife has a gluten allergy, can meals from the menu accommodate her allergies?
YES!!! I just ate there the other day and have severe food allergies. They were AMAZING and soooo accommodating and understanding.
Is this place ok for kids? I have a 5 year old and an 8 year old. Thanks.
Yes, Keiki are welcome. Check out the Keiki Menu.
Do they take walk ins?
Yes. We walked in and had a short wait to sit on the patio. I called first and they said I didn't need a reservation. Waited less than 20 minutes.
