Takeout meals

Question

Hi, the recent thread for take out sandwiches got me thinking… Any recommendations for take out meals? I read a trip report way back about people getting star noodle to go. We love getting food to go and enjoying the sunset meal at “home”. We will be staying in Kapalua.

We aren’t new to Maui but we haven’t visited for 6 years.

Answer

Great idea to grab take-out and enjoy sunset dinners at home in Kapalua — there are some really good spots nearby. Here are my top recommendations plus some helpful tips:

Top Take-Out Meal Spots Near Kapalua:

Kapalua Sansei — Their take-out menu is solid, with items like shrimp dynamite, misoyaki chicken, ahi salad, lobster & blue crab ravioli, and more.
Honolua General Store — A local favorite in Kapalua for budget-friendly, grab-and-go fare.
Dollie’s Pub & Café — Their West Maui take-out menu includes pizza, pasta, salads, and more.
Amigo’s (Kaanapali / West Maui) — Mexican food, tacos, burritos, etc. Their take-out or delivery options are really convenient.
Joey’s Kitchen (Napili Plaza) — Mentioned on the Maui visitor boards as a “go-to” for take-out, especially for dishes like honey-garlic chicken.
Maui Fish Market (Honokowai) — Highly recommended for fish tacos and other seafood take-out.

Additional Tips & Suggestions:

Because you're staying in Kapalua, staying local for take-out can save you time; Kapalua Sansei or Honolua General Store are both close.
If you're okay driving a little, Joey’s Kitchen or Maui Fish Market are great and not too far, and they offer crowd-pleasing fare.
Order ahead when possible, especially for dinner take-out, so you can pick up your food and head back to your place without waiting.
Bring along a cooler or insulated bag if you plan to come back with take-out and enjoy dinner outside — that way food stays fresh for your sunset meal.
If you like seafood, the Fish Market’s tacos (or other to-go options) make for a lovely, casual beach or condo dinner.

Hope that gives you some tasty ideas for take-out while you’re enjoying Kapalua — have an amazing trip and many beautiful sunset dinners! 🌅
