Ate here three times in one week. The food was fresh and tasty. Portions were not huge but not too small either. Some Japanese style dishes on the menu as well as traditional chinese dishes. Earlybird special when we were there...save 15% if you order dinner before 6 PM. Wife loved the Aeromatic Shrimp, had it all three time we... More

We visit Maui yearly, and one of the things we look forward to is the great take-out at China Boat. I am addicted to the chow mein, and my husband had sweet and sour chicken 3 times in 2 weeks! Portions are generous, enough left over for lunch the next day. I love the noodles so much I froze some... More

We stopped in at China Boat for takeout and weren't disappointed. Our food was ready in 15 minutes and they gave us fried wontons and sweet and sour sauce to snack on while we waited. The food was fresh and authentic and there was easily enough for two nights of dining. More

Being of Asian descent and from Vancouver, BC, I can truly say that I KNOW my Chinese Food. So 2 nights ago when one of our friends suggested going for Chinese Food, I was somewhat apprehensive. Is it possible to find good Chinese Food in Maui???? .... Particularly when the Chinese restaurant is located in Kahana, on Lower Honoapiilani Road,... More

Ate at the China Boat this week while visiting Maui. I have to say the food was very tasty. The portions were not that large, and I thought the prices were slightly high considering the portion size and everything was ala carte. If you are looking for upscale dining this is not the place. It is a local Chinese restaurant... More

We always order takeot from the China Boat when visiting Maui. This year the portions seemed larger than in past years. The food isn't cheap for Chineese food, but this is Maui where everyhing is expensive. You can't go wrong with the China Boat. More

The food was so good we went back the next night. The place was in walking distance from our condo. The restaurant is located in a residential area. Very good food. I loved the spring roll, the hot and sour soup, Mongoliane beef and the pork fried rice. Service was good and the price is right. The bill for 2... More

We have gone to China Boat twice in the last two visits to Maui, the initial visit was to find some decent Asian food in the Kapalua area, and we were happy with the results. The second visit, this year, we tried a couple of new dishes and was pleasantly surprised at the outcome. The clams cooked in Sake were... More

My family goes to our Maui time share every couple of months, my brother randomly looked up China boat on tripadvisor and told us it was closed. We had to check for ourselves and when we got there it was all the same people, same cozy atmosphere! The waitress told us it was closed for two weeks so that the... More
