Great authentic food. We stopped by after getting tired of eating touristy overpriced food in Lahaina and Kaanapali. The service was kind and genuine. We ordered pot stickers which resembled soup dumplings, ginger scallion fried fish, garlic chicken, and combo fried rice.

The chicken in garlic sauce is the best chicken dish I’ve ever had at any Chinese restaurant. The quality of the ingredients and the authenticity of the flavors is outstanding.

The prices are on par with nearby restaurants.

Highly recommend this restaurant for their traditional chinese cuisines and fantastic view around the sea shore. We are fascinated about the local seafood and ordered five traditional chinese entrees and one appetizer on Chinese menu (some English explanation on it). We ranked the dishes as below.
1. Fried dumplings with veggie inside (5 stars, I notice most people would like to order spring rolls but i would say fried dumplings are better)
2. Squid with pickled vegetables (4.5 stars)
3. Sauteed beef with black pepper (4 stars)
4. Fried shrimps (5 stars, crispy and juicy, a liitle bit pepper powder on the shell and might be spicy. Ask for mild or no spicy)
5. Sauteed sliced fish (5 stars, one of the best dishes in their restaurant )
6. Eggplants with garlic sauce (3.5 stars, it’s okay and the owner said there is another version and might be better)
To summarize, this is my first time to maui island and try several top rated thai restaurants on the island. To be honest, they are overrated and have bad service manner. Compared to these restaurants, definitely i will come back to Fu Lin next time i come to maui island for their food and sea-view.

First of all, the young man who was serving us was super friendly and made it such a relaxed, enjoyable experience for all of us. Based on other recommendations from different sources on the internet, we decided to go here instead of Star Noodle right across the street, which was booked up. I have no idea why Fu Lin isn’t completely full for meal times. I 100% recommend this place for really good Chinese food. If you want noodles, don’t fight the crowds!! Come here and get delicious authentic Chinese noodles! The view of the sun setting on the horizon was beautiful, we had the whole place to ourselves aside from some locals, the food was so well flavored, and it wasn’t overly pricey. We will go out of our way to come here again!!

I recommend:
The pan fried fish with black bean sauce (boneless, crowd pleaser, nice moist white fish) – my kids loved it especially. Server recommended.
Fried rice – house was great but any of them will have great flavor
Sweet and sour pork
The noodle dishes are delicious too.

We were a little unsure about whether to come here because it was empty when all other places were busting at the seams, but take my knowledge of this hidden gem as my little gift to you before the masses catch on. You will have peaceful, beach view, delicious meal. You won’t regret it.

We have been coming to Maui for over 20 years and never stopped by before tonight and we are so glad we did. The family that owns and runs the restaurant are amazing. All the dishes we ordered were very fresh and delicious. Pot Stickers, Won Ton Soup, Shrimp Fried Rice, Roasted Garlic and Chicken, General Tso’s Chicken (non spicy) and one mean Mai Tai.
Highly recommend this wonderful establishment.

I’m so glad we chose this spot for Chinese! Everything was delicious and fresh and prepared quickly too! The garlic chicken, Kung Pao chicken, egg fried rice were delicious. They even specially made me spicy squid with black bean sauce which was amazing!

We chose this restaurant because it was a family owned, local spot + we love Chinese food. The owner and the staff are extremely friendly and cater to your requests. The recommendations for food were spot on.

We had the chicken fried rice and Mongolian beef. No pictures to this review because we were too busy eating and not a speck of food remained on our plate.

Lovely atmosphere on the patio. Food is very authentic and best part: NO MSG! In every meal!

Highly recommend choosing this as your go to Chinese restaurant when visiting Maui.

We wanted some good down to earth Chinese food so was anticipating some great food. We walked it all the diners were on the lanai side so we were promptly seated after clearing a table for us. The place is well decorated and open. However it’s a bit warm with air conditioning inside for guests that don’t like the heat. But the temperature cooled down a lot after our dinner.

Dishes on the menu covered a lot and staff recommended the fish but we weren’t into it. Other diners seems to enjoyed it a lot.

Like usual I always go with a basic wonton soup if they have it. A good Chinese Restaurant should be have a decent wonton soup right? Zhao zi or gyoza, Garlic eggplant, stir fry beef, Singapore rice noodles, salt and pepper shrimp.

We waited over 20 mins to get the soup, a long time for something simple. Like many restaurants they used the thick wonton skin which is not not made for wonton soup. Wonton loosely means swallowing clouds so it should be lite not thick and doughy. Soup itself is completely bland. Just tasted like vegetable blanching water. It should have nice flavor broth either seafood or chicken, hint of white pepper and some crunchy greens. To my horror the filling were sliced lapchiong (cured dried Chinese sausage). Again should have lite (cloud) texture with minced pork and some shrimp. NOT scraps!

Gyoza dough were undercooked though filling tasted good. Suspecting it’s store bought…

Singapore fried noodles was still very chewy. A result of not soaking the rice noodles long enough and hardly had any curry tastes. Curry flavor is what the dish is known for.

Other dishes ordered all have wonderful fragrance when they were served but all too salty. Even though smelled great but all I can taste was salt. Everything was also too oily.

I read the other reviews about how they contracted with tour guides to “trick” tourist to pay more than the cost on the menu. If this were true it’s totally unethical. I hope it wasn’t true.

We might give then another try but not as what I would consider a good restuarant that have serviced Lahaina for many years.

Fu Lin serves authentic Chinese to Lahaina. Try the Purple Eggplant Sichuan, tender, delicate flavors- we loved it! Also delicious; beef chowfun, garlic chicken, and garlic bok choy. White rice was perfect. Outside table had gorgeous oceanfront and sunset view. Service was efficient, we had to request chopsticks, would be nice if they asked. Arrive early for walk-in. Take outs appeared to have good timing. Comfortable tables, and you feel like you’re in China with a Lahaina sunset.

The food here was soooo good! Our server was great about suggesting menu items that would go well together, too. Huge portions so we definitely got our money’s worth. We can’t recommend Fu Lin enough!

This was one of the best meals I’ve had on Maui. The pineapple shrimp are fantastic and the Mongolian beef melted in my mouth. It’s a little place with a great waterfront view and Mei is a wonderful host. Decent prices and reasonable portions. I will make it a definite stop on every trip to Maui
