Star Noodle

Top choice in Lahaina


This hillside hot spot is constantly busy – and rightly so. Inside this sleek noodle shop, grazers can nibble on an eclectic array of Asian-fusion share plates. Those seeking heartier fare can dive into garlic noodles, kimchi ramen and a saimin (local-style noodle soup; Spam included). A central communal table and the chatty bar keep the vibe lively.

It's about 1.5 miles from the center of Lahaina, in an otherwise humdrum industrial park.
