We had a wonderful experience at Mama‘s Fish House. Have been here before years ago. The view is unbeatable. Although we did not have reservations, we were able to easily walk in and only waited 10 minutes for a seat at the bar. Our bartenders Tom and Jordan made the best Mai tais and gin based cocktail. We shared crabcakes which were full of a large amount of delicious crab and served with roe on top. We also had the shrimp wontons with a macadamia nut dipping sauce. The lobster bisque had plenty of lobster chunks within it. The Hawaiian Onaga and ahi sashimi dish was amazing. So fresh and flavorful. Do not miss this. For dessert, we opted for the island fruit sorbet which was great, but next time I will definitely order the chocolate Polynesian black pearl. The only thing that could use some improvement is better Wi-Fi service within the restaurant. Overall, a great experience and something everyone should try if their budget and time allows. Try making a reservation in advanced here for sunset.

The Best Dining Experience of the Year
From the moment we arrived at Mama’s Fish House, everything felt special. Valet parking was seamless, we were warmly greeted, and our hostess led us to a beautiful booth with a stunning ocean view. To celebrate our honeymoon, the restaurant even placed a personalized placard at our table — such a thoughtful touch.
Despite being one of the busiest restaurants on the island, the atmosphere at our table was calm, relaxed, and perfectly timed. Drinks never sat empty, dishes arrived with precision, and if the staff felt rushed, we would have never known it. The service was flawless — warm, attentive, and truly seamless.
The food? Absolutely spectacular. Every bite was fresh, creative, and perfectly prepared. From start to finish, you could tell this was fine dining at its peak, but still carried that casual, beachside warmth that makes it feel authentically Maui.
Reservations are a must — we booked three months in advance, and it was more than worth it. Even though it took us an hour to drive there from where we were staying, I would happily make that drive every day if it meant dining here again.
If you’re visiting Maui or have something special to celebrate, Mama’s Fish House is the place. This is the pinnacle of what dining should be: thoughtful, welcoming, delicious, and unforgettable. It’s not just a meal, it’s an experience I’ll remember for the rest of my life.

We had multiple friends recommend Mama’s when we said we were going to Maui. I was a little worried it might be overrated after seeing some comments on Facebook, but it was not overrated. I was contacted a couple days before the reservation to ask my husband’s name (so they could put it on the card on our table). There is mandatory valet parking. Every person that greeted us after valet congratulated us for our honeymoon. We were given a table right by the window with a stunning view. You are given bread & soup shot. For an appetizer, we ordered the crispy kanpachi collar. For entrees, we ordered the Mama's Ahi And Mahi-Mahi Curry & Hawaiian Kanpachi With Lobster And Crab In A Macadamia Nut Crust. We did not have any room for dessert. No, the food was not cheap, but it was absolutely delicious & is a lot of food. The waiter was so nice to take a few photos of us. The restaurant is also by a cute beach & we were able to see a sea turtle! I definitely would recommend Mama’s to anyone coming to Maui!

The food was beyond incredible!! You could truly taste the high quality of every ingredient. It was one of the best dining experiences we’ve ever had. :)
Our server, Micah, was amazing: super helpful, incredibly attentive to detail, and gave us the best recommendations throughout the night. What really made it special was how warmly we were treated. All the staff went out of their way to wish us a happy honeymoon and made sure we felt truly taken care of. The service, the atmosphere, and of course, the food, made this night unforgettable.
We’ll absolutely be recommending this place to everyone we know, and we can’t wait to come back on our next trip to Maui!

Mama’s Fish House is truly an unforgettable experience! From the moment we arrived, everything exceeded our expectations. The service was warm, attentive, and genuine — we felt taken care of without ever feeling rushed. The food was absolutely outstanding — every dish was fresh, beautifully prepared, and full of flavor. You can tell the ingredients are local and handled with care. The restaurant itself is stunning, with an incredible setting right on the beach that makes the entire dining experience feel magical. This was hands down one of the best meals we’ve ever had, and it’s easy to see why Mama’s is so highly recommended. A must-visit when in Maui!
