We ordered a Mongolian beef and a Kung pan chicken with sampler appetizers. The flavor was very bland on both entrees, and the beef in the Mongolian entree was extremely chewy (if you chew 2-3 times and swallow, prolly not a problem. However, as lap ban patients who must chew our food extensively prior to swallowing, we find the meats unchewable and tough as shoe leather). After spitting out the first 2 bites of beef because I couldn’t chew it to a point of breaking it down. Lucky for me, I ate leftover pizza for lunch and lost no sleep throwing the entrees in the dumpster. The spring rolls were pretty good, but the BBQ pork sucked and it was below average wonton.

You would be remiss to dismiss your meal on a gem like this! You’ve got the wonderful Grace running the shop with her quick and efficient staff. The dining area is eclectic and gives me the vibes of a k drama where there’s just a uniqueness to it that you can’t find with main stream restaurants. The food was amazing, authentic wok cooked meals for our orders. Unlike a few places that we’ve gone to, the service and the food was crazy fast, crazy good. Grace and her husband Kai have set up the restaurant very efficiently where you phone orders and you have 5 tables at the restaurant. The place is SO good that for our four nights here in Maui, we HAD to go again!! We ordered the Mongolian beef, cashew chicken, DELICIOUS crispy wontons, and the mapo tofu and the braised tofu with mushrooms. My wife and I wish Grace and her crew all the best and to continue with their passion of cooking and success. Mahalo!!

Excellent service and very friendly – the food is to die for , I saw some neg comments but mainly about the price- but this is like cooked at home fresh and so delicious every single plate – and I honestly never choose to eat Chinese food but my family and I loved it !!! I highly recommend, take a little time from your trip and try their family food like cooked at home !!!

We got take out here twice during our week long Maui stay. The food was terrific. We had Mongolian Beef, Sweet n Sour Pork and the Cashew Chicken along with Chicken Chow Mein. All were delicious. Good portions, decent prices, highly recommended.

Takeout only & call to order before picking up, they do have a few tables situated in their parking lot for you to eat at if you’d like. Authentic (by my own very Chinese parent’s words) Chinese dishes with very affordable prices compared to other restaurants along the coast. Great tasting food; they claim they don’t use MSG but I wouldn’t be surprised and would be glad if they did!

My wife & I vacation on Maui & recently discovered this gem of a restaurant. The food we ordered was absolutely delicious. The atmosphere is a small & cozy Chinese restaurant which is located in an outdoor atmosphere but currently not seating inside due to Covid. The service & atmosphere is very tranquil, polite & catering by what seems to be a family run business. Grace was our waitress & she was polite, nice & very good hosting & providing your meal.

Very friendly staff, amazing flavor and freshness for all food. I got scallops with brown mushrooms and bamboo, boys got beef and peppers. Nice outdoor seating also. Really a great find to walk to from Royal Kahana.

Delicious food, great service, and decent prices! My wife and I chose China Boat as our first meal after a long day of flying. Sitting inconspicuously on Lower Honoapiilani Rd it is easy to pass if you are not looking for the sign out front.

I ordered a vegetable udon The first time is good. The second time was horrible. The vegetables seem as if they were old. Actually, they were old and rotten. Very bad experience, and I picked up the food is a saying sit up of a restaurant food is not fresh.
