Ono might be our new favorite restaurant on Kauai. We went early to dinner on Valentines Day and it…read moredidn't disappoint. The food was all freshly prepared and it has a very authentic menu. Things we Loved: 1. The entrees: We had tandoori shrimp and lamb vindaloo. Both were spiced just right and the staff delivered on our request for spice level (me mild, hubs medium). Both the shrimp and the lamb were fresh and tender. 2. The rice: We ordered the lemon rice. It was literally the best rice dish I've ever had anywhere. I can't even explain how exotic and amazing it was. 3. The service: This is a small family run place and you can tell how much care they put into not only the food but the service too. Things we didn't love: 1. The naan bread was crispy vs chewy. It's a personal preference but it still had good flavor. 2. The raita was watery so didn't serve well as a dip for the bread as it just ran off. Both of these things were very minor to us because the things we loved we really loved a lot. In terms of prices, they were a bit steep. But everything was very fresh AND the portions were very generous - enough to have a 2nd dinner from the leftovers the next evening. We loved this place and are already going back with some friends this weekend.

Lemon rice was good. Raita was just water with a hint of curd. All the entrees were super spicy even though we ordered medium. They mentioned their medium means on the spicier side, but this was just too much. I honestly wonder who came up with that spice scale. Just call it what it is. Naan was good. Kulfi was okay. Gulab jamun tasted like the boxed kind, microwaved and handed to us. Service was fine, but overall the place was a disappointment. And it is RIDICULOUSLY EXPENSIVE for this food.

Good drinks, delicious food, and a beautiful ocean view that made the occasion even more special. The food was solid across the board, and the wait staff was friendly, attentive, and welcoming without being overbearing. vThe restaurant is part of a small timeshare resort so can have a lot of traffic on the property. When we visited, it wasn't crowded, making for an even more enjoyable dining experience. One of the highlights was the live music coming from the bar, which created the perfect ambiance on the lanai without overwhelming the conversation. The noise level was just right--my wife and I could easily talk without having to raise our voices. Add in the gentle ocean breeze, and it made for a comfortable, memorable evening. If you're looking for a laid-back Maui restaurant with goodt views, good food, and a peaceful atmosphere, Hukilau Lanai is well worth a visit. Mahalo.

My husband and I visited Kauai for the second time and dined at Hukilau Lanai on May 4, 2026…read more Overall, our dining experience was good with one exception: the receiving hostess at the front desk was NOT pleasant. Our server, Andrew, was excellent. He was nice, knew answers to questions we had, offered recommendations and was attentive. Our food was delicious! We had the Beach Boy Salad, Wally's Steak Crown Royal, and the Prime Rib au Jus. Both were very delicious!! I would have liked to give 5 stars, but deducted one because of the hostess up front. When we arrived she DID NOT say hello or anything equivalent. She did NOT smile. She was NOT welcoming. As we approached the desk, my husband said, "Hello, we have a dinner reservation for 5:30. She said, "Your name?". My husband gave her our last name. Then she said, "She'll take you". She barely acknowledged us, NEVER a smile. That is not customer service. Please retrain her on how to represent the restaurant, customer service, and just basic manners.

When we pulled up around 7pm, there was just 1 other party that was there and they were seated outside. There was live music and we asked to be seated right in front of him. Boy, that was a big mistake as the speaker was right there and it was very difficult for me and my wife to carry any kind of conversation. That was mostly my fault and I should have asked to be seated a few tables back. But it was fine as the musician was great the whole night with his soothing voice and relaxing tunes. There were only 2 servers at the time so getting my drink refilled was a little slow. We ordered the fried enoki mushrooms. Not sure where they were going with this dish as enoki mushrooms don't really have any taste to them. Plus it's a little stringy. I thought it was a little oily. Not sure if the oil was hot enough when they fried this, but it was a bit greasy and since it didn't have any taste to it, the tartar sauce pretty much carried the dish. My ribeye, however, was great. It was cooked medium-rare with a lot of mashed potatoes. The peppercorn cream sauce was a nice touch and didn't overshadow the meat. The one thing I would suggest is that the ribeye was on the thin side, so it didn't get that char crispiness that you would be able to get on a thicker steak. Since I asked for it to be medium rare, getting the desired texture would not be possible. I would have liked to be thicker as the bite would be more substantial. I normally associate a thin cut to a cheap or budget steak. Flavor-wise and temp, it was perfect. There was so much mashed potatoes that I ended up leaving half of it on the plate. It's a garlic mash and really tasty. The Osso Buco was tender, fall off the bone. I did, however, find it to be a little too salty though. You also get a lot of Risotto. They do not skimp on portions here. Great find.
