    It was so great being back with Star Noodle! I've been visiting them from the days up in the industrial area, to the Aloha Plate location, next door, to this location now (former Freidas spot)! The food was excellent, as always! The service is always consistently good! I love the new location! It has been transformed from the cute Mexican restaurant, to the classic Star Noodle ambiance! Always love dinning on the water during sunset, paired with Star Noodles experience made it for a perfect evening! I can't wait to go again! And again! Aloha!

    Amazing farm to table food made in house. Absolutely delicious. The potstickers and lobster deviled eggs for sure for appetizer and fresh fish of the day was stunning. Maria was also fabulous in her service and attentiveness. She made great recommendations and made our experience that much better! Highly recommend

    Outstanding meal - probably the best food on Maui. Had the Upcountry Salad (so fresh!), fish of the day (Kampachi in a beautiful truffle sauce), lobster pasta (OMG), and the bread pudding for dessert. Would order the exact same but also try the chicken next time.

    Outstanding experience. The food was delicious and well presented. The portions were plenty and the service was outstanding. The location next to the beach was awesome and seeing the sunset was special. The humas, wedge salad and chicken and ribs were fabulous. A perfect setting for a Hawaiian dinner. Long live Duke K.
