The food at Lineage comes from a place in the past – a place where everyone gathered around and shared together the food that was laid out in front of them – food that is from the heart and filled with memories. Dishes will pay homage to those who inspire us, and will celebrate our familial roots (or Lineage), as well as the vast bounty of the islands.

Fantastic flavors!
Fantastic food. Great service.
Super strong all around. Sophisticated staff. Food ridonculous.
Fun place to go for Korean cuisine. Several innovative, tasty choice on the menu. Fabulous drinks (loved the Don Szech Juan).
Jordan provided excellent and attentive service. We enjoyed the unique drink options and our food was delicious. We recommend the honey garlic shrimp and Szechuan noodles. Both were scrumptious! The wagyu short ribs were very good though very expensive. The coconut pannacota with coffee whip was dominated by the very strong coffee whip. Overall, Lineage is not to be missed!
Absolutely loved the experience of dining at Lineage. It’s probably my new favorite restaurant on the island. Every food item came as an experience with something to do or a unique unheard of flavor. So delicious and the service was wonderful. Pricing for this experience dining was totally reasonable. Go to Lineage and order one of everything!
Came here with another couple to celebrate a joined birthday (mine, and my friends!). We had an 8:30 PM reservation and the minute we sat down the server said that we had to be out by 10:00 and that we needed to hurry. It was a D+ experience at best. We also just got engaged two hours before! We would have been totally fine just grabbing a couple of drinks and having a quick dinner, but the feeling was pretty obvious that the server was just annoyed that we were there.
Simple suggestion - maybe the hostess could have made us aware that they had a curfew and that the kitchen was closing right at 9:00 PM? OR the server could have just been polite and friendly? Were were all so disappointed.
We are sorry to hear this. You are correct, the Host is meant to inform all guests upon arrival of Maui County guidelines stating that all dinners must be finished by 10 PM. We agree that even if these are the rules it is of utmost importance how this message is delivered and we are very saddened to know we failed. I will be reviewing with our Host team and our Servers tonight on how to politely handle this message with grace and kindness. Our deepest apologies. We hope you will come again.
The food was amazing paired with delicious unique cocktails.
Amazing experience. Went for a birthday dinner and the staff took such good care of us. Plus the food was unbelievably tasty.
Had an amazing meal there, the food is fantastic and the value is great. The portions are not tiny like a lot of places in the same dining category, but the food quality is better than many other upscale restaurants. Our waitress was incredibly knowledgeable, kind, and very helpful. Was great about suggesting the best options rather than just the favorite and we were really happy with all of the options that she recommended. I would highly recommend this restaurant.
Great service! Food delicious. Interesting and tasty cocktails.
So GOOD in EVERY WAY!!! Josh our server was smart, knowledgeable, just overall awesome! The food absolutely knocked us off our feet! Flavors were uniquely perfect. We had never had Korean food before but WOW! We’re here visiting and hoping to go back to Lineage before we leave.
We loved everything that we ordered and it was all gluten-free!! The Honey Shrimp was amazing! We also enjoyed the sweet potato noodle and mushroom gravy and the preparation was so much fun!
Alexandra was such a helpful server and quite attentive, taking great care of us. She recommended both the tapioca desert and the sweet potato ice cream which was out of this world! My best meal on Maui!!
Thank you so much for your feedback! We agree - Alexandra is awesome! We hope you'll come again soon! Mahalo, Melanie
Honey moon. In one word. Perfection!!!
Food and service was some of the best we have ever had! We can't wait to go back!
It was our first visit to this restaurant. We sat at the bar and were happy with the service and the food. Many items on the menu are large enough to be shared. We ordered two of these items and had plenty of food.
Lineage continues to be a favorite of ours and we always book a reservation for out of town guests. Food and drinks are always delicious and inventive. Great service, too.
Top notch food and service with unique culinary and drink creations
Birthday celebration
Everything was outstanding! A must!
Fun experience. We ordered the Korean fried chicken in the sweet gochujang glaze, along with the buri bop special, and the smashed cucumber salad. The chicken and salad were both delightful, we wanted a touch more spice on the chicken though. The chicken was such a down-to-earth experience. We cut it up ourselves and shared it. It felt like a meal you’d share with the family. The buri bop was underwhelming, and needed more depth. It was just kind of wet and bland all together. For dessert we got the sweet potato ice cream, which was to sweet. We yearned for more of the sweet potato’s flavor but we could not find it in the sugary ice cream. Unique atmosphere inside of the restaurant, almost providing an in-home experience.
Thank you for the Amazing food!
Our final dinner on Maui was at Lineage and it was delicious! It had Korean influences and everything was cooked to perfection. The special Dan Dan noodles were a hit. Would definitely recommend for a really tasty and nice meal!
As always, the food, drinks and service at Lineage were a homerun!!
Our waiter Joey? Was so nice pleasant and knowledgeable. The food was out of this world !
Will make sure to dine here again on a future vacation in Maui
Wait staff at Lineage is awesome. Food is awesome. It’s a must try for those of you that haven’t been!
Excellent! Food was delicious and service was great! Would highly recommend !
Fantastic all around experience: from start to finish. Very creative Asian fusion of food! The charred octopus was a highlight.
Special cocktails as well. Entire staff wonderful.
Will be back for sure, next time I have the pleasure of being on Maui!
Thank you!
Carol
The food at Lineage is wonderful. We had the short rib which was not over cooked, falling apart just an excellent piece of beef the shrimp and peas were delicious we are definitely going back

Aloha! Thank you so much for taking a moment to post a review! We appreciate hearing from you and look forward to your review! Mahalo!
Table of four and waiter forgot half of the table’s order. Waiter admitted he made a mistake and afterwards was friendly but was over friendly like he was trying to make up for his mistake and it was just too much and got unbearable. Reserved table in advance but stuck us next to the employee door but I have to admit not as bad as the poor family that was seated next to the bathroom. I would think at low capacity due to covid there would be better seating arrangements. Got the fried chicken, there was two choices, waiter assumed the choice I wanted or maybe there was misunderstanding because we were wearing masks and couldn’t hear each other? I don’t know, in any case, when my food arrived it was the wrong fried chicken. The crab toast was very oily, schezuan noodles was okay but not numbing as the waiter described it. When we first arrived, waiter said prepare for ur expectations to be blown away. It was not. I hate it when I spend a lot of money on a terrible dining experience.
Aloha Ian, I apologize for the delay in responding. We truly appreciate hearing from you and are truly sorry that your experience was as described. I've discussed this with the server and he too is very apologetic, we will all work to improve. We strive to create a wonderful experience for our guests and are very sorry we missed the mark. We have addressed the "employee door" with all staff and promise to address this issue. Hope you'll come see us again, we'd like to make it better!
great food amazing staff !
Aloha! Thank you so much for taking a moment to post a review. We truly appreciate hearing from you and appreciate your kind words. Please come see us again soon! Mahalo, Melanie
This is by far our favorite place on the island!
Aloha! Thank you so much, we are so happy to hear you and thrilled we are your favorite place on the island! Hope you'll come again soon! Mahalo.
Highly recommend the oysters and the wagyu short ribs
Aloha WhiskeyTime! Thank you so much, we appreciate you taking the time to post a review and are happy you enjoyed the oysters and short ribs. Please come again soon! Mahalo!
Was awesome as always!
We arrived at Lineage after multiple recommendations from waiters and chefs in other restaurants. We started with Ahi Poke & One Ton Salad with the turmeric ginger sauce. The sauce was excellent with the fresh greens and ahi. For our main meal we shared the Korean Fried Chicken with Sweet Kochujang glaze and Fried Vegetable Rice. The half chicken was the size of a whole chicken you would find in grocery stores and was cooked perfectly. We finished with Coconut panna cotta with Coffee ice cream, an excellent mix of flavors.
The service was excellent as well. Our server was attentive and everything showed up on time, giving us just enough time in between courses. We ended up spending almost 2.5 hours for our dinner.
Aloha Soner, Thank you, thank you, thank you! We are so happy to hear you enjoyed your experience here at Lineage. We will be sure to acknowledge your server, I believe it was Joey, and thank him for a job well done. Please do come see us again soon! Mahalo.
Some of the best food we’ve ever had as well as great service! We cannot wait to go back!
Aloha! Thank you so much!!!! We are so happy to hear you enjoyed your experience at Lineage. Please come see us again soon! Mahalo!
Terrific recipes, great presentation. Will definitely make this a regular place to eat when in Wailea.
This was our favorite restaurant on Maui! Wow- amazing food and service. We were walked from beginning to finish by our waitress who was also phenomenal. We had their signature Korean fried chicken (by far the best we have ever had). I'm not sure how they did it, but it was the crispiest chicken even when drenched in their tasty sauce. I can't wait to come back and visit. Truly an amazing experience.
Aloha Serena C! Wow! Thank you so much for your kind words, we are so happy you enjoyed your experience. We will be sure and acknowledge Tiana, your server, for a job well done. We look forward to your next visit! Please come again soon. Mahalo!
The food and beverage at Lineage is consistantly outstanding along with the service.
The outdoor seating ambiance could be improved with some fun rattan lighting overhead but the food and service makes up for having dinner in a shopping center. We are fans.
Aloha Annk! Thank you for taking time to post and for your input. We appreciate hearing from you and are very happy you enjoy most aspects of dining with us. Will take a look at making some changes to out door dining space once we get back to full speed. We hope to see you again soon! Mahalo!
