Sam Sato's Inc

The 19 Best Maui Restaurants for Poke, Homemade Desserts, and More | Condé Nast Traveler

"At first glance, Sam Sato's looks like any old, hole-in-the wall, old-timey diner: ceiling fans, tables topped with ketchup and mustard, plastic-covered menus, little booths. But one look at the full house and bonkers line, and it's clear this isn't just your average greasy spoon. The signature dish is the dry mein: a twist on traditional saimin, a Hawaiian noodle soup flavored with dashi broth. Sato's tosses dry noodles in a special seasoning mixture, garnishes them with green onions, char siu pork, and bean sprouts, and serves that concoction with a side of dashi broth." - Juliana Shallcross, Kris Fordham
