AUGUST 2023 STATEMENT BY THE RESTAURANT:
"The beloved Papa'aina Restaurant, a treasured establishment attached to the historic Pioneer Inn in Lahaina, has been completely destroyed by the ongoing wildfires that continue to sweep across our beloved island. As the embers of this devastating incident settle, we find ourselves coming together in a plea for compassion, solidarity, and support.
Led by the talented and dedicated Chef Lee Anne Wong, Papa Aina was not just a restaurant; it was a haven of culinary inspiration and Ohana, where memories were crafted around tables laden with love-infused dishes. But now, in the wake of this catastrophe, the restaurant lies in ruins, a testament to the unpredictable wrath of nature."
