    We love Star Noodle! I haven’t found an appetizer or entree that wasn’t delicious yet! Our group of friends always order the pohole salad, miso butterfish, chicken wings, steamed pork buns, bacon and eggs, hapa ramen, garlic noodles, pad Thai, Lahaina fried soup, Singapore noodles, and dim sum. I could keep going! Their desserts are great too. The only thing I would love even more is the option of having stuffed malasadas (with custard) instead of plain ones. That would be heaven for me, personally! The prices are very affordable and the staff are very friendly and attentive. Fantastic overall! Can’t wait to go there again. We’re so glad you reopened! Aloha and mahalo from your Maui residents!

    We made reservations for 5:30…sunset was about 15 minutes later. It was busy as location is perfect for sunset viewing. When we checked in, we were to be seated right away but hostess suggested we wait while a table was cleaned as it had a primo front seating. We did and it was stunning. The waitress, Tiana was fabulous and friendly. The food was delicious. We plan on returning again before we leave Maui.

    We had a fabulous time and the food was fantastic! Our waiter Tad was knowledgeable and gave us great recommendations. The beet salad is delicious! We had the special fish which was moist, well seasoned and cooked perfectly. It was a preparation I wouldn’t normally choose, but I’m trying to eat healthier and normally lentils with vegetables wouldn’t be my “go to”, but this was so flavorful and satisfying. We also had the ribeye special with the herbed butter. Again, a dish cooked perfectly with wonderful flavors. The mashed potatoes were the best I have ever enjoyed! Noah, checked in on us and our meal and was quite engaging and very fun. We enjoyed our meal and the beautiful ambiance of Traverna. It’s not to be missed when on Maui and we will be back soon! Thank you!
