The best Sunday brunch! Chef Lee Anne Wong has completely transformed the pioneer inn. The food is fresh and delicious with an ever changing menu. You can taste the fresh local ingredients! The French toast is next level along with the Ramen. Order a bunch and share with the table.

If you are looking for a unique breakfast experience and dish then I HIGHLY recommend this place. I learned only after going that the head chef has won a season of top chef or something equivalent to. We started out with the breakfast Ramen and I was absolutely blown away. The maple butter in the broth was just another layer to this magnificent flavor already in this dish. The second choice we ordered was the mapo moco which was another amazing twist on an already great classic. Highly recommend and would love to try this place at a later time for dinner.

So we ended up going for Sunday brunch Papa’aina. The wait at 9:30am (15-20min) was not bad at all (could it be because of the Maui marathon???). We put our name down on the Yelp! kiosk in front of the hostess station and went for a walk across the street to look at the huge Banyan tree and the tourists lining up to board their ships for excursions. The service was great, the food was creative and delicious. Our server said the two most popular dishes are the breakfast ramen and the french toasts. Had the ramen, mushroom toast, and fish of the day bowl (sauce is a little spicy). The presentations were beautiful. The vibe was good, casual and relaxing. Took a stroll down Front Street afterwards to do the touristy stuff. Would have loved to also had time to try their dinner.

I liked the food here. It was really tasty. Some smaller portions, and the price is a bit high, but I can’t complain about the food

Best food we had while in Maui! Make sure to try any of their fresh seafood. The prawns and jalapeños dish was superb and so where the eggs with fish. Very creative cuisine and friendly, helpful staff. Would come back any day.

Significantly limit food and service before 9 am. To go for assistance with the same price of the food but I believe is not the same quality.

We stopped here before jumping on the Sail Maui for a snorkeling adventure. We decided to sit outside near the gazebo to enjoy the scenery. Its really a beautiful restaurant. We came for a quick brunch bite.

Such a nice place to go after our trip on a submarine in the bay. The frech toast was the best I’ve ever eaten! I highly recommend this if you’re in this area.

No sodas! The fried zucchini was well spiced, but raw in the middle. Well cooked zucchini is buttery. Undercooked it’s bitter. I left hungry.
