Lahaina, Maui's Veteran Lunch Wagon Chef Nobu

If you're coming to Lahaina, Maui anytime soon and want to sample a true local plate lunch, just good...make that excellent delicious, you gotta go and get a plate lunch from Nobu, he's the plate lunch veteran, he has a small pink lunch wagon, and has been in business for over 2 decades, parked at the NAPA parking lot behind the Pizza Hut off of Highway 30, he's there on the weekdays, and his prices are just perfect. 7.00 for a plate lunch, rice, mac or green salad, plus one of his awesome entrees, or 7.50 for a combination plate, and the drinks of water or soda is dirt cheap.


When I think of lunch wagons, I think of Nobu, what a concept, he gets his food prepped in the morning, sits around the NAPA parking lot, and sells out his food and calls it a day. What a job, what a life. At least he's his own boss, no need to answer to some Dickhead boss. So if you're in the islands, and on Maui's west side, Lahaina to Kapalua, stop by Nobu's lunch wagon, you'll be pleased with the quality of the food. It's local to the maximum.


Nobu is inside his lunch wagon, his office, his little hole in the wall that's on wheels. A culinary mainstay on the Lahaina asphalt. Look at that in the shade, what a life!
