I’d been here 15 years ago, well before the blaze that took down most of Lahaina. They must have rebuilt Aloha Mix Plate here. I love the vibe and relaxed energy. It has the feel of being in a patio by the water. In fact, that’s basically what it is. Nicely covered from the sun and a great panoramic view of the ocean. They have a nice little manned bar as well. Oh you prolly want to make reservations. It gets busy.
The Hawaiian style food is good. I can’t say it’s substantially better than other places I’ve been on the island and prices are much higher. The main difference is the plates are set and presented much more nicely.
Had to try the Aloha Mix Plate of course, since that’s the restaurant name! Shoyu chicken, thinly sliced teriyaki ribeye, and fresh fish. Felt like it was pre cooked as opposed to fresh after ordering but was still pretty good.
Someone else had the loco-moco, a local-style beef patty, steamed white rice, topped with 1 egg over easy. Smothered in brown gravy. Now THAT was good.
We also had the Ali’i plate, which is a traditional Hawalian feast: kalua pig, pork lau lau, lomi lomi salmon, and poi. Not bad , except for the poi which was eh.
And for the light eater, the grilled cheese sandwich was tasty, I think a big reason was the delicious brioche bread. That was unique.
The parking lot is teeny-tiny. Same with the parking slots. And of course everyone is renting massive SUV’s. Just park on the street or across the street in the Cannery lot.
I’m hoping that this place and others thrive and bring back Lahaina town!
