I would've done 4 stars just because I don't really like giving out 5 stars when I'm not completely blown away but I also don't like 4 stars bringing down their score in the aggregate when they probably exceed their total score currently. Busy local spot. Parking lot tight but plentiful. Tables full 6-8pm that I was around on a Sunday. Sushi has fresh sushi rice and fish was good. I had one awkward piece of a spicy tuna out of all the things I ate, so that isn't really too flaggable for me. All their Thai food is probably excellent, the laab was delicious and fresh. Guest had pad Thai was very good. Place moves quick. Great option in town

What a great family owned little restaurant serving Thai food & Sushi! Service was excellent, very friendly, food was very tasty, my only issue is the CA roll didn't have fresh real crab.. but everything else's was excellent! Definitely a must when in Lihue!

Very tasty spot with quick and friendly service. I ordered the salmon avocado roll as well as hamachi nigiri and scallop nigiri. The first comes in 8 pieces and the second two come with 2 pieces each. All of the fish was very fresh and the rice was a good sushi rice. The nigiri fish portions are definitely large and I could have used less rice on those but I will say it is filling. Also a plus that they have gluten free soy sauce and many of the Thai dishes can be made gf upon request. Still getting used to the prices here, though, since $12 for a regular roll is more than double what I'm used to back home. Nigiri was also a few dollars more than I'm used to on the mainland.

We love this restaurant. The staff is friendly and efficient. We placed an order for a scallop sushi and really enjoyed all the fresh scallops on top. We also had Panang Curry and Pad Thai. Both were delicious! The restaurant was well lit, well furnished with current music playing. We also met the owner Rung, a very friendly and welcoming young guy. We'll definitely come back.

The food is Ono as is in any Thai cuisine restaurant or food truck, but I always wish they gave larger portions for the price!

Great family atmosphere with delicious options plus BYOB. All staff display excellent customer service with smiles and delicious fresh entrees. We had Thai cashew nut piping hot, sushi that was very fresh, and mango sticky rice that was the best I have ever had (warm fresh rice, ripe mangoes and very generous milk)!!

We stopped by for a quick lunch. The miso soup was delicious, and the sashimi as well. My favorite was the yellowtail sashimi. The edamame were okay. Kids liked the avocado roll and the salmon nigiri. The service was great! The ambiance is a bit dry and dull - but food and service deserving of 4 stars.

This place was delicious. We ordered both Thai food and sushi. The Thai food was so flavorful and I didn't even need to add for hot sauce! The sushi was fresh and there was a large variety for the whole family to enjoy.

Our son played golf at Puakea and was given this location as a recommendation for sushi. The "I'm Hungry Roll" and "The Big Monster Roll" did NOT disappoint. Our server was very helpful in providing suggestions for our meal.

Food was great, service was great. We ordered some food not knowing what the portions were going to be like. The portions were the perfect size, but ended up ordering more because it was so good! Nice to see this business growing with multiple locations! Mahalo!

The ahi poke bowl was pretty good as were our sushi rolls. Crab rangoons were excellent. Service was decent. Pad thai was passable. No real complaints, but not necessarily a destination.
