After college, she chose to trade in her winter boots for slippahs and moved to the beautiful island of Oahu, where she has been living for more than five years. She lives on the west side but is constantly taking mini-road trips across the island and visits the neighboring islands whenever she can getaway. She loves hiking, snorkeling, locally-grown coffee, and finding the best acai bowl on Oahu.
As the most isolated population center on earth — located more than 2,000 miles from the closest continent — the Hawaiian Islands are unique. Everything from our culture to the food we eat is a bit different than the mainland. And while there’s no doubt about it that rice is easily the most popular carb in Hawaii, you’ll also find a variety of scrumptious noodle dishes sure to satisfy your taste buds. But absolutely nowhere will you find more mouthwatering noodle dishes than at the Lahaina eatery featured on “Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives.” Let’s dig in, shall we?
If you’re in the mood for noodle dishes, Asian shared plates, and cocktails in Lahaina, head to Star Noodle. Tucked away at the top of Lahaina Industrial Park. this casual, modern restaurant features both a menu with an embarrassment of riches of options and flavors and a comfortable yet elegant atmosphere.
Though featured on "Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives" with Guy Fieri, regulars agree that Star Noodle is far from a "dive" with ocean views, repurposes teak and natural stone, craft cocktails made with sake and dragonfruit, and an impressive menu.
Since opening in 2010, Star Noodle has achieved explosive success, due in part to its eclectic menu with vast global influences. Not only will you find classics like hot and sour soup, ramen, and pad thai, but you’ll also discover uniquely Hawaiian dishes like saimin, Lahaina fried soup, and their specialty: garlic noodles made with fresh and fried garlic, dashi, and scallions.
You’ll find more than just noodles here, though. Crowd favorites include adobo pork ribs, hot and sour soup, rib-eye steak, pan-roasted mushrooms, taro dumplings, and massive tempura shrimp.
Star Noodle is best-enjoyed family style, ordering multiple different plates for the group and sampling around the table. How else will you enjoy Vietnamese crepes, steamed pork buns, miso salmon, and Singapore noodles in a single meal?
Let's not forget about those craft cocktails. Nearly a dozen unique cocktails created with fresh juices, sake, and high-quality liquors. Non-alcoholic drinks include fresh ginger juice, specialty sodas, and more.
If you love carbs as much as we do, but want to try something a little different, Star Noodle is the place. With an eclectic menu, generous portions, and cozy atmosphere, this Lahaina restaurant absolutely belongs on your Hawaii dining bucket list.
Star Noodle is located at 286 Kupuohi St., Lahaina, HI 96761, and is open daily from 10:30 a.m. to 10 p.m. For more information, visit their website or follow them on Facebook.
