Right next to the Old Lahaina Luau, the restaurant offers oceanfront patio dining and unique Asian fusion drinks. Make reservations before coming, especially if you want to be seated for the sunset (restaurant faces East)!

7-Eleven
@highlycaloric
The only 7-Eleven on Maui. I love telling people to visit, not because it's spectacular. The food is very much reheated frozen foods, but if you have never been to a 7/11 in Hawaii or outside of the US, this place will surprise you with their offerings. It's fun to compare what you CANNOT get back on the Mainland from a convenience store. You can get anything from noodle dishes, sushi/handrolls, pork hash and steamed buns (manapuas).
