    Great tasting food, attentive service, and restaurant is casual. We were a party of six and had a variety of dishes.

    Cashew chicken & Ono curry
    Nicole W.

    I am usually pretty skeptical of a Thai and sushi combination restaurant. It's hard to do both well. It usually ends up being very mediocre. That wasn't the case here. The crunch roll was great, I would get it all the time. They put some unagi sauce and crunchy bits on top of a spicy tuna roll. Usually it's with shrimp. This is better and the tuna was super fresh. Rainbow roll was decent, but not as good as the spicy tuna roll. The krab mix was kinda bland. The Salmon & yellowtail were mild but not as fresh as the tuna. The Ono curry was really good, it was flavorful, creamy & spicy. The fish was fresh, portion was generous and it was our favorite Thai dish for the evening. The pad thai was good, we got the shrimp and it didn't have that many. That's not super surprising. The cashew chicken was the weakest link for the Thai dishes, it was a little one note. Was a little oily and not as flavorful as the other Thai dishes we ordered. Prices were affordable, especially for Kauia standards. Service was very good, they were attentive and friendly. I would go back and order the crunch roll & Ono curry & try new things.

    Miso soup & Spicy Edamame

    So delicious every time! We get takeout from here.....so to eat inside is even better!!

    We came in right before the airport. We were just a table of two and they were luckily able to seat us right away but for larger parties, I recommend making a reservation. We ordered a few rolls and sashimi. It was really good. The fact that they serve both sushi and Thai made it a crowd pleaser! Green curry was delicious. It felt sweet, but it had a hint of spice that will catch up with you later. I want to remake this green curry recipe! Highly recommend this curry. Staff and service was nice and attentive. I will be back!

    Crab fried rice
    Chelsea A.

    Honestly no idea how this place has good reviews. The service from the lady in the front was lovely though which is saving this review. She was prompt, sweet and swift! Maybe we ordered the wrong things but I always worry when you order and the food comes out the same minute the waitress walks away. Firstly the edamame -000001/10 Do not spend the extra $1 on spicy just don't do it. You're paying $1 for some chilli flakes to be thrown on top. The first bite I had was COLD. Like frozen cold. Then the rest was steaming hot. 101% microwaved tasting edamame with some salt on top. Don't get me wrong it was edible but it was just a waste of $7. The chicken dumpling soup also came out within 2 mins. I was a little scared to eat it since the dumplings felt so hard and it was practically boiling on the table which also felt and tasted microwaved with some precooked bagged chicken. 1/10. Now for $27 you'd expect the crab fried rice to be incredible. It tasted like the cheap crab fried rice you get from a 1 star Thai place for half the price. Absolutely insane. 1/10. Soz for the bad picture I forgot to take a photo until the end. Spicy miso soup was also AVERAGE. This place is the definition of MID. It's all edible, overpriced and just not worth ever going back. I wish the service was bad purely because I feel bad writing this review. But the service was really good everything else was just bad.

    Chicken pad see ew
    Julie S.

    Tried Big Monster first after arriving Kauai. The food was delicious and service wonderful. My favorite was the Samurai roll. The pad see ew was so flavorful and the noodles so chewy. The fish was fresh on the poke. Our server was attentive and super nice. We enjoyed the ambiance at the corner table.

    Bamee Moo Baeng
    Heying D.

    Service is very friendly and welcoming. The food is however not good. The vegetable stir fry were stir fried frozen vegetables with a lot of onions and garlic and not much flavor. The specialty, Bamee Moo Daeng was hardly edible. The sauce was very off-flavored, everything else, from noodles to dumplings, was bland. But the sauce overpowered everything. Not good at all!

    Nancy A.

    Who would have thought there would be great Sushi, Pad Thai and Poke Bowl restaurant right down the street from where are staying. Great service and delicious food. We tried the salmon and poke bowl, the I'm hungry roll and the samurai roll. For drinks, we tried their lemon aide. Everything was great!

    pad thai
    Ruby D.

    Honest reviews for honest taste buds- I had pad thai and some pineapple fried rice. It was great, no issues with the food. The only complaint I have is when we ordered mango sticky rice, and we were told that they were out of mangos. pros- good food fast service clean cons- no mangos 8/10

    Poke
    Marta K.

    Incredibly delicious and amazing service! We had the Tuna Carpaccio, Monster Poke, Tom Kha, and Tom Yum -- everything was absolutely outstanding. The flavors were rich and perfectly balanced, and the quality was top-notch. Highly recommend!

In fact, a lot of love show for all the food trucks in the Kapaa area. But this joint had hella high reviews on all platforms and it's been a fat minute since I've scarfed down Thai food so braddah I was hyped. I asked the employees to give me whatever they thought a first time customer should have: hence, I ended up w their chicken pad Thai. There's no spice level as they'll give ya a side of thai peppers to sprinkle over to your liking. Now idk if it's bc I waited maybe 20minutes before eating. But idk. It just didn't hit like how I want my pad Thai to hit. The noodles were clumped together and even after mixing everything together, the taste and texture was just a bit dry and lacking in umame. I really wish I could hype this place more just bc but. Yeah. I'm guessing I just caught them on an off day or maybe it's just my b for taking too long to walk to my end destination for chowing down.

I kind of…read moreended up at their truck by default due to lines on the other trucks in the park, but it all worked out. I ordered the salmon avocado roll and shrimp tempura. Roll really tasted good and the shrimp tempura were big sized and weren't too fried (as tempura shrimp go). One weird thing while ordering: they were out of a couple of items, and we went through the whole bit of ordering and about to pay when we were told "oh, we can't make that" or "we're out of that" I don't blame the truck on this at all, but beware: at least on our visit, there were more flies & bugs than I'd ever seen in all my visits to Kauai, so the actual eating of this meal was kind of a pain in the rump - ended up eating in the car, which wasn't much fun. At least the food was good!

After some time to cool down, I know this is a fair and honest review of my experience. My family and I had just finished a 4-hour kayak & hiking excursion and we wanted to reward our hard work with poke. I looked up a few places on Yelp and we went in search of a specific poke food truck off Kuhio Hwy. When we got there, it was not present. But Superhero Sushi & Thai was right next door. We saw poke on their menu, so we gave it a shot. The lady who took our order was sweet and so was the lady who brought our food out to us. They have tables behind the truck for customers. It's a nice spot, breezy. Their prices are very high considering how small their portions are. I ordered the spicy ahi tuna bowl ($16), hubby got the mix bowl ($20), my daughter got the ahi tuna bowl ($16), and my son got a California roll ($10). We tipped over 20% because times are tough. Unfortunately, the food was very disappointing. The "bowls" came in 5"x5"x3" clamshell containers. The fish was cut into half inch cubes and there were maybe 10 pieces of fish in each "bowl" nestled next to a wilted salad mix, baby carrots (why??), and an orange wedge (again, why??). Moreover, the rice was hard in the center because it was undercooked. My son's California roll was nearly all rice and was missing avocado. The imitation crab was dry and chewy. He couldn't eat it. I felt so bad for my family because we arrived starving and left starving. We spent a lot of money on poor quality and quantity of food, which was very upsetting. I've seen many positive reviews for Superhero Sushi & Thai. Maybe poke isn't their jam. I hope their sushi and Thai food lives up to the hype.
