Mama's Fish House
Pāʻia, North Shore Maui
Maui's Top-Ranked Beachfront Fish House on Kūʻau Bay
Mama's Fish House, at 799 Poho Place on Kūʻau Bay near Pāʻia, was ranked No. 1 Best Restaurant on Maui in HAWAIʻI Magazine's 2026 Readers' Choice results. Its own site describes a Polynesian-themed beachfront dining room, fish sourced from named local fishermen, and a menu that changes with the season. It is open daily 11 AM to 8:45 PM (the site doesn't split lunch from dinner), and the phone is (808) 579-8488.
The restaurant says it is booked months in advance: reservations are taken by phone or its own booking link up to 18 months ahead, special requests need 72 hours' notice, and reservations sold or listed on third-party websites will not be honored. Its entrée menu, posted as an image dated October 14, 2026, lists entrées from $60 to $100 — most fish dishes are $67 to $69, with Kalua duck at $60, blue prawns at $65, bouillabaisse at $78, a Haleakalā Ranch beef filet at $80 and Tristan Island lobster at $100 — so expect a splurge-level check.
Why Roamwise recommends this
Maui's signature special-occasion dinner — worth it only if you can book well ahead.
