Kauaʻi Sushi Station
Sushi restaurant
👍👍 First off, I rarely review on google but I had to take the time to shout out this place. We came here solely on the fact that the place had amazing reviews and one of the best sushi spots on Kauai. Needless to say it was absolutely correct. This place blew us away. It started with the staff, EXTREME...

👍👍 Delicious breakfast waffles, loved my fruit bowl and my coffee as well. The service was very good, you order they bring the food out to you. You have the option to eat there at nice clean tables or take it to go. We were staying close so chose to take it to the beach and enjoy by the ocean. Loved th...

👍👍 Great discs, fantastic BBQ! My wife and I visited on our honeymoon and ordered the pulled pork and brisket sandwiches respectively with a side of slaw, kale salad, and beans. Super savory and terrifically tender. I also picked up a few rare find discs while there! Dustin is an awesome guy who made f...

Shaka Burgers Hawaii
Hamburger restaurant
👍👍 If you enjoy grass fed burgers, you'll love these. I'll admit I'm still on the fence about grass fed beef since it does change the taste, but my husband said it was the best burger on the islands we've visited. The owners are friendly, portions are great and price is fair for the quality and the isl...

Happy Eats - Huli Chicken & Ribs
Takeout Restaurant
👍👍 The best Hulu Huli chicken anywhere period! Whether you get the marinade or dry rub you won't go wrong. The combo plates are enough for two. My goto is the dry rub chicken and ribs combo. These ribs are the best you can get anywhere! The chicken is moist and so flavorful. Combo plates run $16...

👍👍 Great taste and value! Really wanted a box lunch but if you come 15 minutes before closing, only get what get. Very happy with the chili pepper chicken we got. So much we were able to share a plate between 2 of us. There’s a picnic bench that we were able to sit down and use. HIGHLY RECOMMEND Ed...

Kauai Boba & Barbeque
Barbecue restaurant
👍👍 This is my easily our favorite food truck on the island. The Boba is real and easily the best that we’ve found so far. We usually get the dragon fruit and mango boba. They use real fruit unlike a lot of the places. The meal portions are large and cooked fresh when you order. Everything on the menu s...

House of Sushi Food Truck
Japanese restaurant
👍👍 Friends had discovered it on their recent trip to Kauai and recommended it to me as one of their food truck picks and boy were they spot on. Located along the ocean, this spot served some of the freshest fish in town. Staff was nice and service was quick. Will definitely be back again!

Big Monster Sushi & Thai- LIHUE
Asian restaurant
👍 Came here for the first time a few days ago and the food was pretty good. I ordered the stick rice, dragon roll, California roll, and the spicy salmon roll. The dragon roll and spicy salmon roll were not spicy at all. It had a very small kick but doesn’t suffice as “spicy” the rolls itself were pret...

👍 Came here on vacation in April 2022.. love the food. I tried the Loco moco for breakfast which consists of white rice, topped with a hamburger, fried egg, and brown gravy. Loved it . Gravy was a bit salty but it was good paid around $13+ for this and shared it with my cousin. We were both full....

👍👍 Keoki has been operating here since 1978! Authentic Aloha is served here!There’s no other place I’d rather eat first after landing at Lihue airport(3minutes). 10 stars for the food, 10 stars for the aloha, and 10 stars for the ‘talk story’! Dare I say…. ‘Best hole-in-the-wall place in Hawaii !
