Why did we dine here? – Star Noodle is a popular Asian restaurant on Maui focusing on a variety of noodle dishes that originate from Japan through other Asian countries.  We have been here on all our recent Maui visits. They moved to downtown Lahaina in November 2020, and are known as Star Noodle v2.  Star Noodle also does takeout but you need to call it in early. Parking lot is part of the new location! Also check out the killer happy hour at Sansei and our other Maui Restaurant reviews. Our last return visit was in 2021 during the Pandemic. Star Noodle closed for 8 months and moved. This restaurant not only has great food, the prices are great, especially compared to other places on Maui. We luckily scored a last minute Yelp reservation. Chef Sheldon Simeon has appeared on Top Chef and instantly the restaurant’s business skyrocketed. He left in 2013. Simeon has since gone on and started his two of his own restaurants: Tin Roof and Lineage. After Star Noodle, he landed at Migrant in the Marriott Wailea for 2 1/2 years.

We had originally sought to eat elsewhere, but jet lag make it far easier to stay put. A beautiful room, tropical sea breeze flowing, a view open to the pool with live modern Jazz playing. Executive Chef Tylun Pang was Voted 2013 Maui Restaurant of the Year. Insider Tip – Happy Hour 3-5pm with drink and pupu specials is cheaper! Cuisine – Inspired by Hawaii’s sugarcane plantation era Location – Fairmont Hotel, Wailea, Maui Opened – 2013 Service – Ko had reasonable good service. A smart waitress who guided our ordering well and many assistants to take care of our needs. Verdict – We didn’t expect much other than expensive food, but Ko wowed us with top notch food at significant prices. No hesitation recommending this for foodies staying nearby, who can afford the high prices. Also nearby is Monkeypod Kitchen Ko Signature Dishes – Poke, Fresh Fish of the Day, Lamb Ko’s Menu Winemaker Pairings, a prix fixe three-course menu comprised of Executive Chef Tylun Pang’s favorite dishes, paired with three stand-out wines. The menu is […]
