The food is great. It is also conveniently located by kahana reef. We loved the ambiance and that it is not in the crowded area of Lahaina

Staying at Kahana Reef right across the road, it was easy to try China Boat. Mentioning where we "live" got us a 10% discount. Our bill for a bowl of brown rice, shrimp chow mein, and vegetables with pan-fried noodles was $25. The chow mein with plump noodles was "all right" (husband's words) with an adequate amount of shrimp, but... More

We walked in and ordered for take out. Got home and no steamed rice. Do you really have to order that separate. We were very disappointed that there was no rice.

Kung Pao Chicken had no POW and Hot and sour soup was beef broth with lime concentrate with 2 tiny slices of tofu. Delivered total was 36 dollars. McDonalds is around... More

We were a hungry party of 9 and they filled our tummies. The chinese food is ok. Not great. The setting is old and out dated. It was walking distance and it was fine.

We understood this restaurant in Kahana, Maui was under new management and reservations were recommended. We found the restaurant was nearly empty upon arrival and while others came as the meal progressed, we soon found out why. Service, while friendly, was slow. The entire building needs a good cleaning. The food was adequate but somewhat greasy. I would not recommend... More
