A Maui institution since 1933, Sam Sato's serves the quintessential Hawaiian saimin and dry mein alongside hearty plate lunches in a no-frills diner beloved by generations of locals. The dry mein — noodles with char siu in a rich broth served on the side — is the dish that defines this restaurant. The turnover pies (apple and coconut) are legendary.
Tip: Order the dry mein and a turnover pie. Cash only. Closes early in the afternoon, so go for lunch. Lines form before opening on weekends — locals swear by this spot.
