Where to Eat in Wailuku

Wailuku is Maui's old town — the former plantation-and-county seat where ʻĪao Valley meets central Maui. Its main street kept its mid-century bones, and so did its food. This is the island's deepest concentration of okazuya, saimin, and old-school plate lunch.

Wailuku is the kind of place where a noodle shop or a bakery has been run by the same family for half a century. The list below is ranked by the locals who grew up eating here, not by visitors who found it by accident.
