It is sad a low that some lady who wants to try to screw the Mai-Kai with a law suit got some air time by the local news. That is BS. They health inspection result was overblown. This is a huge place and small things can happen and are easily corrected and were. Coming up on 60 years in business. They have staff in that kitchen that have been there decades. They know what they are doing and you should not worry about that stuff.

I prefer a quiet night in Molokai. When you hear the drums of the show, wander through and on to the gardens.

BUT! Go see the show and dinner! It is such a rare treat! Tip the Maitre D for a good seat. Their show is quality and the Supper Club is a rarity these days. The performers are great and being in that big room where they have been doing this since 1961 is just goose-pimply. I recommend something from the Chinese ovens. Again, this is pretty unique to the Mai-Kai. Had to convince the health board that a method of cooking that has been used for centuries was okay and the original staff who manned the ovens were expert and passed on the knowledge. Fantastic stuff.

Get a flaming coffee grog in the dining room too to see it in the right light. Another tradition only at the Mai-Kai that is straight from Donn Beach himself.
