We got take-out from the China Boat one night, since it was very close to the condo we were staying at. Service was pretty fast, although there was nobody else at the restaurant yet. We had chicken with cashew nuts, green pepper and onion beef, and house fried rice. All of the food was pretty tasty. Not the best Chinese... more

Went to China Boat without any expectations. The restaurant itself is your typical "hole in the wall", cheesy decor but clean. The food was excellent. It was served family style and every single dish was great. We ordered all our dishes from the "Chef's Choice" recommendation of the menu and everyone was very happy with their choice. The customer service... more

We ate here based on the reviews that this was "the best of Maui". NOT! It was good but certainly not the best. The menu has most of the dishes you would see at any Chinese restaurant. There were a few Chef's Suggestions on the menu that sounded wonderful. The prices are really high compared to your average Chinese restaurant.... more

In June we held a wedding rehearsal luncheon in the China Boat Restaurant. There was a wide variety of menu choices, and the food was good and tasty.China Boat had a pleasant and relaxed atmosphere. The staff was warm and inviting making it a nice place for a party. Bill and Agnes Michigan more

Truly not bad for Chinese delivery. Our party of 4 adults and two teens ate it one night, and everyone was satisfied with the quality. Another night we ordered it for the kids and went out for an adults only dinner at a nice restaurant. more

I have been vacationing on Maui for 24 years. I have been dining at ChinaBoat since they first opened. They have, like all places gone thru changes. At this time, the food is excellent, the chief's are creative and serve delicious entree's that are definately family style, plenty of food. It is a very friendly atmosphere, with an owner that... more

After reading reviews, it was with low expectations that we recently had supper at the China Boat (we were already enjoying a fine day in Kahana, so what the heck). First off, pleasant, comfortable atmosphere. Again based on the reviews, we kept it simple: Kung Pao chicken, pork fried rice and tea. The pork rice was stock, but the kung... more

We just love China Boat and China Bowl. The service is good and the food is authentic Chinese. There is a difference between the Chinas Boat and China Bowl restaurants. The food at China Bowl is excellent as well but they have a more varied menu at China Bowl. The owners of both restaurants are very nice people. Their purpose... more

The food was ok at best. We ordered two vegetable entrees and were served with one bowl of rice. We received our check from our server who gave us the impression that we were bothering him by being in the restaurant and realized we had to pay extra for the rice we didn't ask for. I also ordered a mixed... more
