    Seafood platter
    David K.

    Service excellent Ambiance excellent Food was just ok. Nothing bad but nothing great. Made you full but didn't excite the taste buds.

    Oh my goodness!!! Go see Abraham!!! We are doing it! We stopped at the fish market...taste this goodness! Thanks to the kind and humble guy who helped us. Abraham was amazing!!! Do your self a favor and stop here and get treated like royalty!!!

    Lobster bisque
    Margo F.

    It's amazing how they are able to. Help some many customers. It's down to a science! We've been here on most of our Maui trips and are always pleased. My husband had the fish chowder, it was piping hot with lots of fish. My son had the lobster bisque and was also quite pleased with it. They both had leftovers! They also split fish and chips- perfectly cooked, nice size, fires are also good. I had their house bbq calamari and fries. It's probably close to a whole calamari steak. The strips are large and meaty (5). I ate 3 and my husband finished them off. It busy but if you wait a few minutes chances are good you can get a table. They also sell fresh fish, a local told us it's probably the freshest place to buy fish on the island!

    Counter on the right, food to go on the left

    So glad I found this spot! There are a series of casual restaurants along this small strip mall. Walking in, the right side has a counter for purchasing seafood and poke. The left side has the hot food where you can order fish tacos, etc. I wasn't sure which poke to get and the guy behind the counter gave me samples to try. Ended up buying two different types and I ordered fresh rice next door to go. Prices are reasonable and the service is friendly and fast, highly recommend!

    We had a Togo order as they were packed... which is always a great sign. The coconut shrimp were amazing. The Calamari was thick, almost steak thick. All in all, totally delicious!

    Located in a small shopping center with very tight parking, this fish market seemed pretty busy during our visit. I ordered tacos but there was a mix-up, and I was given fish tacos, which I currently cannot eat for medical reasons. When I brought it to the counter's attention, the response was basically that it was our fault because the order had supposedly been repeated back correctly. I highly doubt that happened accurately, considering avoiding certain fish right now is not a preference issue for me. Food-wise, the tacos were fine but nothing memorable. The lobster bisque also wasn't what you'd typically expect, so just be aware of that before ordering. Seating is limited to only a few outdoor tables, and people were pretty much waiting around for them to open up. Overall, I'm honestly unsure why this place is rated so highly. It's okay, but definitely not out-of-this-world seafood.

    Stopped by here to pick up food for an afternoon snack. Poke was super fresh and flavorful - my friends really enjoyed it. I got a side of mac salad & lobster bisque - the mac salad was ok (I've had better) but the lobster bisque was so tasty and came in a big portion. Definitely a great stop for either snacks or a full meal. Heads up though that there's only a few tables and it could get crowded. It's more of a market to pickup food to go.

    Excellent food! We got here a minute before the lunch rush. Me and my husband shared a fish burrito and calamari platter. The fish burrito was juicy, so be careful about it spilling out. The calamari was tender and crispy - perfect. There's limited seating and parking, we got lucky and snagged a parking spot and one of three tables outside so be prepared to eat elsewhere!

    Calamari sandwich
    Brianna M.

    I feel horrible giving a three star review to a non-chain restaurant. When I came last year, I considered giving a three star review due to bland food, but decided it could've been a one off despite trying four different items with my family. I returned back today to try the macadamia nut crusted fish of the day (mahi) as well as the calamari steak sandwich. Both items were extremely bland to the point where we did not finish them. However, I will say the french fries were good. Nothing else is wrong. The service was fine. The selection was fine. The food just does not have enough flavor. The fish is fresh. It just needs more seasoning.

    Poke bowl
    Shelly H.

    I was craving a poke bowl so I stopped in and so glad I did. It was so delicious and packed full of flavor. I told the gentleman working it was my birthday and to surprise me by putting together something really good and he did just that! So fresh. So flavorful. Definitely recommend!

    It was my 2nd time and will be my 3rd or 4th while I'm still in Maui. Seafood and everything are fresh but the test is lil mild in my liking but gotta give them 5. I appreciate their existence, coz I always want this kind of restaurant experience when I visit the island

    Curry plate
    Doreen T.

    The left side of the counter is for cooked entrées, while the right side is for all the raw items. I was glad my husband ordered a few things from the hot side because all of the daily poke options were spicy on the day we visited, which meant I couldn't really enjoy them. Parking and seating are very limited here, but luckily our Airbnb was nearby and were able to enjoy lunch on our lanai instead. We shared the Ono fish sandwich, a mahi taco, and a curry plate with shrimp, fish, and scallops. We also picked up half a pound each of the ahi poke and shrimp poke since we were already in line. My favorites were definitely the sandwich and the taco, though everything was solid. My husband enjoyed the poke since he's fine with a little heat. This spot is very touristy, so I'd recommend arriving right when they open to avoid long lines.

    Pork plate
    Elle M.

    Okay so there was the review I thought I was going to post while I was getting into the pork plate and then theres the review I have to write after I saw what I saw. Not once but THREEEEE TIMES we watched an employee behind the counter open the doors to the fish, grab the shrimp ceviche with his fingers and put it directly into his mouth. THREE TIMES. While facing the dining/ordering area. And after running his hands through his hair, working in the kitchen and then coming back to do it again. I hope the employee does not have food scarcity but if he does, please be hygienic. We were sick and put our forks down after that.

    Hirimasa, hamachi, ahi and kampachi.

    Happy hour? food drinks

    No this is a v small place . Can sit inside or out but not many can sit! Market on one side . Walk up and order on other side! It's good! As is Okazuna just down the little mall

    Could we bring you fish from our own catch that day to cook?

    That's a great question. I don't think so but you can call and ask . 😊

    Do they sell fresh fish - raw fresh fish?

    Yes! Enter through the door on the right.

    Do you open on Christmas Day (Dec 25th)?

    No, they usually close on holidays.

    Do they take reservations?

    No they do not. It's not really a sit down type of place. There are small tables outside.

    Does it take reservations?

    No, you order upfront and find a table that's open.

    Do we need reservation for party of two?

    They don't take reservations. It's WAY too small. But still WAY worth going.

    Are there any gluten free options?

    I believe they have corn tortillas, and I'm sure there are fish options that aren't battered. There's also a little Mexican joint at the opposite end of the strip mall.

    What is the white sauce on fish tacos?

    thats our baja fish taco sauce mahalo

We'll discuss your experience with our staff." That was not the case with The Plantation House. They responded to my review and asked that I contact them to discuss my experience. Lucas reached out to me several times, and we were finally able to connect. Within a few minutes of our conversation, it was clear that he was genuinely concerned that the restaurant had not lived up to its standards or met my expectations. He apologized for my experience and refunded the cost of my meal. My goal was never to receive a free meal or any type of compensation. I simply wanted to share an honest account of my experience. This restaurant serves thousands of guests, and no operation is perfect. What impressed me most was that they took the time to personally reach out to an unsatisfied customer, listen without being defensive, and make things right. That level of customer service speaks to the integrity of The Plantation House and its commitment to ensuring every guest leaves satisfied. While my initial experience was disappointing, the way they handled the situation deserves recognition and has certainly changed my overall impression of the restaurant.
