“It's always a treat when we eat here I personally LOVE their takoyaki balls and spicy tuna sushi rolls. Their tobiko nigiri is always a must too, it's my daughter's favorite! I've ordered just about everything on the menu and all of their items taste so fresh and onolicious! Aside from their fresh sushi, their service is beyond amazing! We are always greeted with welcoming smiles and happy vibes. Love the staff here they are really one of the friendliest food trucks I've ever been to. Overall I definitely recommend this little food truck to anyone and everyone! #Spicy Tuna Roll #Tuna Lover Roll #Takoyaki“

“Staff were so great, you can't help but want them so succeed. The sushi was among the best I've ever had. We also loved the small, laid back feel of the restaurant that was comfortable but not even remotely pretentious. Gotta love their logo - I had to buy a t-shirt.“

“A local favorite and family-owned business. One of the few places in Lihue that's open late. Visiting relatives always make time to dine here. Seating is first come first serve. Cash only. You can call in to go orders but it isn't made until you get there. Special saimin and beef skewer finished with a tart but light lilikoi chiffon pie is what I usually order. Chicken skewers can sometimes be undercooked. Help yourself to hot mustard, soy sauce, and chili pepper water vinegar condiments on the table. Wipe down your utensils before eating. They also serve manapua! Parking lot is full on second Saturday nights because of the Lihue Night Market until 8:30. There is no waiting room or benches, prepare to have somebody stand in line down the ramp when it's busy. There is a unisex restroom inside. I believe they are closed on September when the whole staff is on vacation.“

“Visited for a day and had a whirlwind of a time. Ended up our escapade with a nice dinner at Kiibo. Although this was my first (and certainly not my last) time here, we were met with hospitable staff and the warmest aloha. As many have mentioned, this restaurant is a staple for the local community and continues to shine on through its' refresh. We shared the agedashi tofu and mochi to start. I ended up getting the agedashi chicken katsu with some shrimp tempura on the side. All of the dishes left my stomach grinning immensely. The flavors here are quite authentic and it was giving motherland realness with the decor and ambiance. Pricing is as expected for the quality of flavor and offerings, especially coming out of the pandemic. The nice thing is that they also offer take out for those who want to experience the good flavors to-go. However--it is strongly recommended to dine in to experience the food in real time. As the indoor seating is limited, be sure to call ahead and make a reservation. You will be glad that you did. Will be back for more the next time I'm in town. Thank you again! ご馳走様でしたー!“

“I've always loved Po's. They are under new ownership now. I went there the other day and the food still tastes the same super delicious and everyone there is so nice. They also have Spam Musubis and the flavor is sooooooo good. Not your traditional just shoyu rice nori and spam but it has a good flavor to it. I definitely would recommend this place to anyone.“
