“The best meal we had on Kauai. We started with the Poke Nachos. They were great. Loved the wasabi cream. Wally's salad was very fresh and the dressing was excellent. I had the seafood special which was 3 different fish, served 3 different ways. My wife had the steak crown royal. It was cooked perfectly and well seasoned. She said that it was the best steak she had ever had in Hawaii. No room for dessert this time. Drinks were excellent as was the service.“
“Exceptional tacos. Low key, no frills casual eatery.Owners & staff are incredibly friendly and helpful navigating the big menu. We went 2x in 3 days. Fresh griddled tortillas are on point. Imakalua pork is a MUST try. It's super tender & juicy, packs amazing flavor and they put a crisp on the bottom side of the pork that is what couldn't keep me away. Fresh Mahi Mahi & shrimp tacos were awesome and definitely try the mango & serrano homemade hot sauces.Don't miss this spot in Kauai.“
“Taco truck with umbrella shaded tables, views of the beach and fresh caught mahi.I ordered a side of the fish along with my tacos and was not disappointed.Perfectly cooked Mahi seasoned with just enough salt and pepper to enhance the natural flavor.Super generous portions and delicious sauces and guac.BONUS: acai, thai, and coffee food trucks nearby as well.“
“Came to Kauai on our honeymoon and wanted to try a local coffee shop. Pastries were very good! Their customer service though was the best! Loved how friendly and helpful they were. The cook was dancing and singing as he made the breakfast sandwiches! If you go on a Malasada day, get there early to avoid a line or a wait.“
“This place serves great food but it's a little pricey. One suggestion I have for the owners is to improve the customer service provided by the staff who take orders. The ladies who take orders are sometimes rude or appear annoyed. They don't have to be friends with the customers, but it wouldn't hurt to be kind and friendly.“
“We were really excited to discover this vegan coffee place on Happy Cow. It's all vegan, with the exception of honey. (They can substitute maple syrup as needed). The breakfast sandwich has a taro patty and it's delicious! Acai bowls and coffee are also excellent. Chocolate banana bread was exceptional. Updated from previous review on 2024-03-26“
“Cute vibes, delicious food, kind staff, and right on the beach! Ordered an everything bagel with jalapeño and artichoke cream cheese, breakfast sandwich, and a bunch of their pastries - everything was 10/10. Coming back for their banana pudding…must visit for breakfast if you’re staying at the Royal Sonesta or Marriot.“
“This is wonderful ❤️ Ethiopian food in a very interesting roadside co-op. Very yummy, friendly staff, inexpensive. Loved the lentil stews and that you can always opt for a vegetarian meal if you desire. Get the hot sauce on it, though!If you are ever on the road near Kapa'a, stop in and try it!Wheelchair accessibility: There is a dirt parking lot and you have to cross some grass to get to it. There aren't easy paved paths around the area.“
“Chun P. and I shared a delicious slice of lilikoi chocolate cake here, and some tasty lattes. There are limited seating options, but we sat at a table outside and Chef Orly Yadao came out to chat with us. He was very kind and we were a little star-struck to meet the Food Network star in person (Sugar Dome, Halloween Wars, Cookie Wars)! Definitely stop by this lovely bakery if you are in Kauai.“
“Check out this gastropub. I like to explore different menu options, but having eaten it the last time, I could not pass up their delicious reuben sandwich. Washing down their juicy homemade pastrami on toasted sourdough with one of their cold draft beers is a nice break from the $200 frou frou dinners at the island's fancier restaurants. Wife had a burger and she enjoyed it. They have nine or more of their beers on tap. You can order a 4 oz. sample for $3, or a 16 oz. glass for $9, or a flite of several different ones, or all of them, after which you probably shouldn't drive. All their beers I've tried are great. I'll always return here when I visit Kaua'i.“
“I do a LOT of research in choosing a fine dining restaurant. This restaurant exceeded all of our expectations. My adult son said the prime rib he has was the best he's had. My wife and I had the butter fish (nightly special) and the fresh catch Oscar and they were both beautifully presented and divine on the palate. Yes, there was a Luau happening a few hundred yards from the restaurant but the ambiance in the restaurant was quiet and romantic. Service was on point at every step. We will return.“

“One of the best options for a quick and well made breakfast in the area. Good egg bowls, and we love the local sausage sandwich. Smoothies, acai, you know the drill. Call ahead to preorder so you can go straight to the pickup line, there is a minimum service fee and payment is by credit card.There is a large covered outdoor seating area, or you can grab and go. Plenty of parking.PS Do not begrudge mandatory tips on Kaua'i and please be generous in optional situations. Our workers and local families cannot afford to live here and everyone benefits from their labor.“
“I've been going to Kilauea Bakery my whole life. I love the macadamia nuts and sticky buns. Their pizza with Gorgonzola sauce is great, and the ham rolls are yummy. My kids are big fans of the cinnamon twists. This bakery is a big part of our community and my family loves it. Highly recommend it.“
“We have visited Kauai a number of times and Tiki Iniki is always a must-do stop. Cindy hooked us up and Jay and Richie were all-stars! Always a good time here and the cocktails never disappoint. Great ambience, authentic feel for an island tiki bar and the staff and ownership have established and continue to run a quality island experience. Mahalo!“
“Absolutely fabulous passion fruit and cheese danish. Would return for that absolutely! I hesitate to say that the chocolate croissant I also got had too much butter because I know that’s a very key component of any croissant, but it did seep out of the croissant when I squeezed it. I will be returning for the passion fruit but maybe not for the chocolate croissant. Wonderful regardless.“
