January 10, 2008 Thai Chef
If you wanted to you could take a table in the cozy dining room at this popular Westside eatery, but seating is limited and the aromatic ginger coconut soup, hot and crunchy chicken spring rolls and creamy Thai red pineapple curry will taste just as good on your couch in front of the TV. 880 Front St., Lahaina, 667-2814. M-F 11 a.m.-2 p.m.; Nightly 5-9:30 p.m. $
Island Tacos
It's not just tacos anymore. Island Taco's menu has expanded to include plump, juicy hot dogs and chili dogs so cheap that you can't afford not to eat them at your desk at lunchtime. The namesake tacos, of course, come with chicken, pork or fish, a pile of red beans, cheese, onions, lettuce, jalapenos and your choice from an impressive selection of hot sauces. 55 N. Market St., Wailuku, 214-0488. M-F 10 a.m.-3 p.m. $
Honokowai Okazuya Deli
If you live or work anywhere north of Lahaina, consider yourself blessed to be near this deli. After a brief closure due to a kitchen fire last year, they've reopened their doors with their same winning menu that stars grilled mahi-mahi in a lemon, caper and butter sauce, served with fresh sautéed veggies, huge portions of crispy fish and chips, hot and cold sandwiches and dangerously good burgers. It's perfect for a picnic at the beach across the street. 3600 L. Honoapi'ilani Rd., 665-0512. Daily 10 a.m.-9 p.m. $
Joy's Place
Fast food usually means bad food, but it's not so at this small deli that offers exceptional, meatless (and mostly raw) fare, soups, fresh salads, and a mysteriously scrumptious thing called the Indo-crunch wrap. Your body will thank you. 1993 S. Kihei Rd., 879-9258. M-Sa 10 a.m.-3 p.m. $
Paia Fish Market
The line out the door to this walk-up restaurant can look daunting at times, but this place is worth the wait. The obvious choice here is the ono or mahi-mahi burger, but first you have to make it past the crunchy, cold coleslaw. If you're like me and have eaten the fish burger more times than you can count, you won't be disappointed by the Cajun fajitas or seafood pasta. 100 Hana Hwy., Paia, 579-8030. Daily 10 a.m.-9:30 p.m. $
