Lineage is my #1 favorite place to eat in Maui.
I have to eat here every time we visit. I'm vegan! But the menu is not all vegan, they just offer tons of vegan, vegetarian, and meat options. The folks who work there are very kind and attentive, and the whole thing feels like a family hang. I wouldn't call it a "fancy" place, but the food is definitely high class, kinda pricey, but worth it in my opinion. Must haves: Spicy garlic noodles - watch out though, they're pretty spicy. You can get the spice in the side if you're wary. Mushroom salad - vegan by default, my whole family loved it (even those who don't really like mushrooms) Crispy cauliflower - this dish is vegan by default, and has changed a little in the years we've come but is always SO good. This last visit tasted like khao soi turned into a cauliflower dish and I loved it (lots of curry flavors) Tapioca pudding - light coconut tapioca base with mango topping bursting with flavor The first time we went, we were sat inside next to a VERY rowdy and loud group. The staff tried to get them under control and were very apologetic. I prefer to sit outside (since it's always a pretty comfortable temp), but we sat inside this most recent time and had a very pleasant experience. There was a birthday at a table near by and the whole room (it's pretty small) sang along. (Our server Tiana was the best.) Love this place! Support them! Give them your business!

I just got back from the islands and started doing my restaurant reviews, and I can't believe I totally forgot to review Lineage from the trip before! I can totally see how the experience here would have been a lot better if we had ordered some other menu items! I think we went wrong with some of our orders. Additionally, there are 2 outdoor seating areas and one indoor seating area. We were seated in the outdoor seating area that had very few tables and felt very much like an afterthought from the main indoor restaurant and the covered outdoor area. Most of the evening, we felt like we were just trying to flag down servers because nobody came out to the area in the back where we were seated. This was a little bit of a disappointment. As for food, we shared everything and we ordered the garlic szechuan noodles (which were phenomenal), lions mane mushroom liangban salad (which was just okay), and the fish from local waters (which was overall good, but steamed fish is not to everyone's taste because it steams all the flavor out of the fish and I don't think I would order it again because blackened or charbroiled is probably more to my liking). We had a few drinks - Buddha Belly was delicious but I don't remember the name of the other one we tried - and we skipped dessert but I'd definitely go back to try their banana cream tart! I've heard so many raving reviews about Lineage and I genuinely think it was just an off-night when we went. Because of that, I'd be happy to return on our next trip and will update my review accordingly when I do so! :)
Be the first to ReplyReserved Lineage a month before our reservation on a Friday
Reserved Lineage a month before our reservation on a Friday at 530pm for 6 people. When I got there around 520, they were able to seat me immediately. Service was amazing. Our server gave us a perfect overview of the menu and helped us find the right amount of food. Service alone was 5 stars! The food overall was decent. I expected a lot from the dishes because they all looked so good but some of them were disappointing. Out of all the dishes, I recommend ordering: Garlic Szechuan Noodles Korean Fried Chicken Crispy Shrimp & Scallop Croquettes Aji Tamago Lapa'au Oyster Mushroom & Vegetable "Birds Nest" Don't recommend: The Ahi Poke was very salty Wagyu Kalbi Short Rib: if you mix the bone marrow in the rice, it tasted really good. I don't recommend this dish cause the kalbi wasn't kalbi and was a bit dry. Pupu Special - Soft Shell Crab Ukoy: the crab was so tiny and one of these isn't enough for 4 people. It's good for 2 people max. All of the Asians at the table thought it was decent (we've had better) but our white friends loved all the food lol.
Be the first to ReplyThis is a restaurant located in the Shops of Wailea.
The inside of the restaurant is rather small, less than 10 tables. We did a walk in for an early dinner & able to get a table immediately but I would recommend a reservation. The food is Asian insipired. We had the Pupu Special Soft Shell Crab, which was pretty much deep fried crab with calamari sauce on the side. We had the fried chicken with garlic rice, Cantonese lobster noodles and kids short ribs for our daughter. Fried chicken was HuGE, enough for 2 people of share. We had the one with the peanut sprinkle. The chicken was super crispy and glazed with sweet sauce. Cantonese lobster was our fave because it was the most flavorful and came with plenty with lobster meat. We tried the kids short ribs with rice which was way too overcooked and the sauce was super sweet.

If you're looking for a nice place for quiet dinner that is not on the wailea resorts, this place located at the shops at wailea is a good option. It was a nice warm evening and we were seated outside. We started with the shrimp and scallop croquettes with taro, which reminded me of the taro pastry at Chinese dim sum. For entrees we tried the wagyu short ribs which came with roasted bone marrow. Very tender and well seasoned. And then we had the Luc lac which is a beef tenderloin dish with scallops that's meant to be wrapped and eaten with accompanying better lettuce. For dessert we tried the banana cream tart, which was not what I expected. It was more like a danish pastry but the banana cream was delicious. Easy parking in the large lot or if you're staying at wailea resorts, very walkable.
Be the first to ReplyMy husband and I made reservations for Lineage since it was
My husband and I made reservations for Lineage since it was close to our hotel with good yelp reviews. Oh wow! This restaurant located at the shops may seem like a generic restaurant in a tourist area, but man was the food amazing! Thank you Yelp for pointing us to this wonderful place. I made reservations on open table. The only option was bar seating so I took it. We didn't want to have to wait for dinner and made sure we had something on the calendar. We loved the bar and our bartender Destiny. She was super sweet and helpful. We started off with cocktails - the Buddha belly and the mai'a tai. Both made with fresh ingredients. So yummy! For dinner, we ordered the Waygu short ribs and the beef tenderloins and scallops. Everything is family style, which I love. I got to try it all. Both meals were out of this world. Yea, we were in Maui but man oh man the beef is legit! So good! For dessert, we got the milk chocolate miso ice cream and both of the after dinner drinks. I got the Hawaiian host and I was happily surprised that it came with Mac but peanut brittle. Amazing! Totally unassuming being in a shopping mall, but hands down one of my favorite meals in Maui.
Be the first to ReplyIf you're a fan of Star Noodle (and I love- LOVE Star
If you're a fan of Star Noodle (and I love- LOVE Star Noodle), you'll love Lineage. There's no relationship, but the two spots are similar in how they prepare their dishes... excellent flavors and textures! Pros: food - as noted, there are great flavors and textures in every dish! Each dish that came surpassed the previous dish, the meal just kept better and better... seriously! Our waiter, Christian, he was awesome! He did accidentally forget one dish, so it came quite a bit later, and OMG, talk about velvety... talk about buttery....it was...perfection (aka the lobster noodle dish!) I was quite full when it came, but man oh man, I did not want to stop eating it! One friend said she was "mad," as she was also full, but wanted to eat more of the "party in her mouth noodles!" This is us full, and it was still amazing! Cons: I honestly can't think of any.... They took us early from our reservation time (we arrived about 20 minutes early), service was excellent- we enjoyed all our interactions with the staff, and food was extremely delicious. Every dish was made with unique flavors and great texture! My friends and I were planning our next meal there as we were still enjoying the current meal there! Some of the desserts pictured are not "full desserts," since it was all of our birthdays (this is a birthday trip!), Christian made us a special chocolate miso ice cream taster and not sure about the size of the sorbet, but that was also for our birthdays! Lineage will definitely be a list repeat!
Be the first to ReplyWonderful from start to finish.
We ordered the ahi poke, lobster noodles and fried chicken. Service was perfect and drinks were tasty too.
Be the first to ReplyEvery time we come to Hawaii this is our first stop.
The drinks are spectacular and always creative. The food is always excellent and the service outstanding . I could eat here every night.
Be the first to ReplyFantastic.
The Korean chicken is massive for the price and the most tender chicken I've had in recent memory. The croquettes were amazing. Not too fishy, just the right saltiness. The poke was uniquely presented and mixed with a few salted pork chunks hidden throughout. It was amazing. Was so full after those three that we didn't even touch the garlic noodles which were flavored of garlic as they should be. Service was amazing. Our server was fast, efficient, funny and even had great local recommendation. Waters were never empty. Perfect way to start a trip to Wailea. Vibe/ambiance was great. You could probably walk in without a reservation but it was busy the whole night.
Be the first to ReplyWe are SO happy that we went here.
First, you should get a reservation. We didn't have one and just got lucky. Sat outside, our server Christian was nice and very on top of things. We got the Aji Tamago eggs (basically ramen marinated eggs). These were my FAVORITE. It only comes with 3, I wish we'd gotten a second order. We also got the seared scallops. I believe there were 4 of these, in a lemongrass curry broth. These were my second favorite. We've already tried to recreate these at home. Definitely not the same. We got the Cantonese lobster noodles. Very good, and a good amount of lobster! Very filling, we didn't end up finishing these. And last we got the seafood and sausage stone pot. On a normal day this would be awesome! But everything else was SO good, this was just 'fine' compared to everything else.
Be the first to ReplyAmbience - we were seated outside.
There isn't a "view" really but we were seated outside. Service - Our waiter was good. He told us the specials and did his job as best as he could. No complaints. Food - Frankly, my expectations were way too high for this place and it was a huge let down. Crispy noodles with mushrooms - noodles had an after taste of oil to it which gave me a headache. The mushroom gravy had a weird balsamic vinegar reduction to it, which didn't play well with all the different types of mushrooms. My dad had the fish steamed and it came with fins!!! he sat there butchering his own fish so he wouldnt eat the little fins. His tummy was upset later that night, so watch out. He also had the scallops which he seemed to enjoy more than his main course.garlic rice - it's rice with garlic furikake...white rice is prolly better. Presentation of the food - I think the presentation is why I was super hyped about this place -- it's all show and 0 substance.Overall -- super unhappy.
Be the first to ReplyThey have a captive audience of tourists with limited
They have a captive audience of tourists with limited options, and it shows in their arrogance (or disorganization, either way same effect). We waited 40 minutes after the reservation time which the restaurant confirmed weeks before our trip. No signs they saw this as poor service in the way they handled it.Unfortunately the food was only good but not living up to the yelp ratings. Overuse of soy sauce and sugar in most of the dishes. If you're in Maui for a few days don't rely on Lineage for one of the limited meal experiences you'll have there. Decent ambiance for a mall restaurant but didn't necessarily feel like we were in Hawaii once inside. Could have been anywhere.
Be the first to ReplyWow! So good had to go back again! Dining in was
Wow! So good had to go back again! Dining in was accommodated with a quick call back that we'd been moved off the waitlist, second visit ordered takeout. Both experiences were very positive and had they been open, a third visit would have been enjoyed! Food was excellent, crafty cocktails, attentive server and a chef that knows how yo get deliciously creative! 5 dining experience, will definitely return!
Be the first to ReplyFantastic experience! The food was out of the world.
We ordered the Garlic Szechuan Noodles, Crispy Cauliflower, and Korean Fried Chicken and some drinks. The noodles and cauliflower were absolutely delicious and had huge portions too. The plum sauce on the cauliflower was so good we almost ordered just a side of that to go. The charred vegetables with the cauliflower and the smoky flavor in the noodles was a great touch. The chicken with kochujang and peanut glaze was delicious too. Our server Josh was amazing and definitely deserves a raise! One of the best meals we've ever had and will definitely be back here.
Be the first to ReplyGood ambience.
Staff is super friendly. Food is decent for the money but nothing spectacular. Quite pricey overall.
Be the first to ReplyThis is a different experience that I think u need to
This is a different experience that I think u need to experience with at least once in ur life. The menu is never the same foods great non the less and the servers are quite helpful with pin pointing what tastes good with what.
Be the first to ReplyWe saw Lineage was a must try in Maui so we decided to make
We saw Lineage was a must try in Maui so we decided to make a reservation.The food and ambiance are out of this world. We got to sit outside at this small bar seating and the weather was so beautiful. Our starter was the croquettes, which are fried balls of deliciousness. I ordered the fish of day grilled and it was decadent! I mean it was prepared perfectly and the sauce was yummy. My partner orders the wagyu short ribs with garlic rice which was prepared to perfection. We are always ordering extra so our shared plate was the Cantonese garlic noodles - bomb is all I can say.The cocktails were so yummy and made with a lot of love.What the chef has created here is extraordinary! I highly recommend if thinking of going to Maui make your reservation TODAY! It was completely booked when we did.
Be the first to ReplyI had high hopes for this joint and I was NOT disappointed.
I took my wife here for her 40th birthday and she LOVED the food. The chef, who like us is a 2nd gen Chinese American, leans into his heritage and recreates classic Chinese dishes with a modern flair. Truly a force of nature and delight for your taste buds. Hawai'i is a natural melting pot of cultures, foods & flavors. When done right - it's DELICIOUS. And here at Lineage, it is done VERY RIGHT. Cantonese Lobster Noodles - WOW! What a DOPE modern take on a classic dish I grew up eating. F*ing LOVED THIS. My man is a genius!Lion's Mane Mushroom Liangban SaladDragonfruit and strawberry guava sorbet - A free dessert they threw in as an extra as a happy birthday gift for wifey's 40th. Nice touch Lineage. Nice touch. HeartPersimmon Almond Cake - we love our dessert and needed MORE!Fish From Local Waters - steamedWagyu Kalbi Short Rib - AMAZING! So flavorful. Mai'a Tai - I drank WAYYY too many of these in Hawai'i. Seared Sea Scallops - drowning in creamy savory broth!
Be the first to ReplyThe drinks and food were incredible.
We ate there over a week ago and are still talking about the bone marrow and wagyu beef. We also loved the garlic noodles! The service was excellent; we sat at the bar and our bartender was so friendly. Her mixology game was strong!! Their Mai Tais are the best we've ever had. Will definitely be back when we're on Maui.
Be the first to ReplyLineage was recommended to us by one of the bartenders at
Lineage was recommended to us by one of the bartenders at our resort and it did not disappoint. Everything we had at Lineage was great! We went with a group of 6 people and all the dishes were very shareable family style. The cocktails were unique and worth trying. The chicken skin cocktail sounds super weird but it was actually pretty good. Conveniently located at the Shops of Wailea, there is plenty of parking in a lot. Reservations are highly recommended but not required. We called the night of and got lucky enough to get in. They offer both indoor and outdoor seating. The menu can be accessed online and linked via a QR code at the restaurant. You will want to try one of everything! Definitely ask your server for recommendations. There are some dishes I wouldn't choose on my own, but once we did I loved it.
Be the first to ReplyIf you don't spend at least one dinner here while staying
If you don't spend at least one dinner here while staying on Maui, you're missing out. It's a special place and the food is delicious. The staff is always friendly and knowledgable. They change up the menu, so you will feel inspired to try something new. Last time we tried the Charred Tako (Octopus) which was rich and flavorful. Our favorites are the Korean Fried Chicken and the garlic noodles. I've tried a new cocktail every visit- they're always unique and tasty. Lineage Chefs - Please bring the Filipino Cereal dessert back into rotation!
Be the first to ReplyMake a reservation, hurry! This place was insanely good.
I wish I would have tried more things but I guess I'll have to go back soon. We ordered the tako appetizer, Korean fried chicken, and the garlic noodles. I only managed to get a picture of the tako because we started eating and didn't stop till we were done. The kfc is half a chicken that's been deep fried. You heard that right. It's so good and moist. The sauces are gochujang peanut sauce and a jalapeño sauce. We liked both but the jalapeno sauce was better. It tasted like jalapeño peppers without any of the heat. Would've been even better if it was a little spicy!The tako was sooo tender. That was probably my favorite part about it. It was spiced great and was charred to finish which gave it that smoky flavor. It was paired with some seasoned potatoes and sour cream to make a really complete plate.Lastly, the garlic noods. They were good and light in garlic flavor. I'm used to getting saucey garlic noodles that basically ooze garlic goodness in your breath all evening. These were not that. These felt more sophisticated, but not better.Overall it was a great dining experience and I want to go back for more
Be the first to ReplySuper adventurous menu.
We absolutely loved the new Lineage!! Theyve changed the menu and it is a really good change. Everything is family style, which is great because we get to try lots of different dishes. The crispy shrimp and scallop toast is ridiculous. Super crunchy and devine. Charred tako was delightful. The Korean fried chicken was amazing. And huge. The wagyu kalbi shortrib with bone marrow was as good as it sounds. Super tender and flavorful. Get the crispy cauliflower and the garlic noodles to compliment the meal. I made 2 more reservations before we left the table.
Be the first to ReplyGreat service and staff, unique cocktails and food is
Great service and staff, unique cocktails and food is overall executed well. We had the tamago egg, charred octopus, shrimp toast and the famous KFC. The KFC was crispy and nicely seasoned. Nice ambiance. Will come back soon!
