We were receommended this place so went for dinner. Not sure what I expected but it was 'different'. The waiters are laid back and very casual which isn't a bad thing really.
We ordered a couple Pina Coladas and they were wonderful. Just know that if you want to drink alcoholic beverages you have to sit above. It you want to sit down with the view of the ocean they dont' serve them there. No clue why, just don't.
I ordered the coconut prawns, the large order and wished I would have only gotten the small order as they things are HUGE! Very tasty and I couldn't finish them all.

One thing we found odd was that they served everything on paper plates with plastic utensils and cups. Not very environmentally sound.
But all in all it was inexpensive and tasty and casual which we enjoyed.
Oh and we were there late enough to catch the music from neighboring Lahaina Luau which was a treat!

What a great place! This is an open air restaurant right next to the Old Lahaina Luau and behind the Lahaina Cannery Mall. There may be a small wait when you get there if you're planning on dinner.

We ordered the furikake garlic fries for appetizer, which were delicious! I would've never thought furikake on french fries! I ordered the Aloha Mixed Plate which came with beef, chicken, and fish. Quite the filling meal for myself. My wife ordered a beef mix plate I believe.

Great value, fast service, and the fact that you're dining on a wooden patio near the ocean ain't too bad either.

This place will be a regular stop for me when I'm out in Maui.

One of the most recommended restaurants we encountered was Aloha Mixed Plate. Unfortunately, we don’t agree with our friends and family who felt this restaurant provided a memorable experience.

We arrived at an outdoor restaurant, perched on a deck by the Lahaina beach waterfront. We waited for quite a while before a server seated us. We thought it strange since the restaurant did not seem that busy.

No matter. We sat by the beach walkway and ordered a mango smoothie, Cajun curly fries, and I felt like a bowl of saimin, being that we were in Hawaii. I had not sampled the Hawaiian soup noodles on Maui and wanted to see how they measured up to Kauai’s famous Hamura Saimin.

The mango smoothie won the contest of best item ordered. My husband and I polished it off before the main meal arrived. The Cajun curly fries did not stand out as extraordinary. Ordinary described them best.

Finally, I received my soup noodles. I had to take a picture of them so that I had proof that I do not exaggerate when I describe the presentation. Nestled in the Styrofoam cup in which the noodles must have been purchased, the cup, labeled Okahara’s Saimin, screamed "You could have gotten this in the market!!" The water that had been poured into my instant noodle cup was lukewarm and a piece of pink and white fish product floated at the top. My husband, however, ordered the Mahi Mahi mixed plate, complete with potato salad. His description was that it was good but not great.

Pricewise, here is what we paid: Mango Smoothie $3.95, Cajun Fries $3.25, Mini Mahi $4.50, Saimin $3.25.

Sadly, I cannot recommend this restaurant and advise that there are several better choices in the area where you can dine and still want to talk about it when you get home. Move along, nothing to see here.

This was our first meal in Hawaii. Boy, were we jet-lagged! We were excited about trying the local cuisine. We'd heard that the islanders have a taste for fatty foods, which we thought was odd for such a warm climate. The food was a little greasy, but very good and reasonably priced. In case you have heard a thousand times, poi is not good. In fact, it's just plain yucky. Aloha mixed plate is located right next to the Old Lehaina Luau, and the setting is very pretty, with outdoor setting.

Aloha Mixed Plate Menu

We loved the casual, oceanfront dining here. However, we’re glad we weren’t in a hurry. Service was definitely on local time. We started by ordering smoothies, with three of us going for lilikoi/mango, and one lilikoi/strawberry. Oh, my goodness! A perfect blend of fresh fruit juices to cool us down on this humid afternoon.

Steve and I were here specifically for the local food. I got the teriyaki beef mixed plate with two scoops of rice and one scoop of macaroni salad. The traditional teriyaki beef in Hawaii is one of my favorite foods. This was really yummy! Steve ordered the Aloha mixed plate which included teriyaki beef, shoyu chicken, and mahi mahi. He was very pleased with his choice and cleaned the plate.

The kids were reluctant to try anything out of their comfort zone. My daughter chose the veggie stir-fry with chicken and enjoyed it very much. My son, ever the one for safe food choices, had a corn dog and mozzarella sticks. At least he was happy and we enjoyed our time together in this outdoor tropical setting.
