WAILUKU

Sam Sato's

Sam Sato's is a Wailuku saimin spot on Maui, known for manapua, dry mein and manju. Hawaii's answer to ramen — soft wheat noodles in a clear dashi broth with fish cake, spam, and char siu. Sam Sato's is a recognized local classic. Da Plate Lunch Index ranks it on local votes — Maui residents who actually eat here, not visitors rating it once.
