My husband ordered the Kenji Burger, which was juicy, flavorful, and piled high with toppings - caramelized onions, cheddar cheese, tomato and arugula. I chose the Misoyako Fish Bowl. Miso glazed cod was fresh and tender, served over rice with a light salad. It was even better than I expected, and I enjoyed every bite.

One of three McDonald's on the island of Kauai, this location is in Lihue, close to the airport…read moreright off Kuhio Highway (the main thoroughfare on the East side). My wife and I were hungry after arriving into Kauai after dinner time, so wanted something quick and easy before we checked into our hotel. It was good. It's humid in Hawaii and with the inside being well air conditioned, there was a thick layer of condensation on the windows, making it hard to tell if the dining room was even open or not. But it was, so decided to dine-in. I used the McDonald's app to place and pay for the order, entering the table number. Otherwise this location is automated, with 2 large kiosks taking orders. The food came out pretty fast in a takeout bag, with my name and table number being yelled out loudly (guess they don't do table delivery here, which is fine...though wish they would not offer it on the app in that case). My mood brighten greatly when I realized the large fries ($4.99) had been freshly cooked. The buy one, get one for $1 still applied here (if done on the app) so got two double cheeseburgers, one for $4.19 and the second for $1. They now have a mini McFlurry available, so got the OREO flavor for $2.99 (really hit the spot since the soft serve used was really good and we liked how the oreo cookie pieces were finely crushed), and added a large Diet Coke ($1.99). Pretty confident it will be the cheapest, filling meal we will get during our trip.

2 times in 1 day?…read more Both visits for lunch?? Within a 30 minute window??? Surely you've got to be crazy!!! Nope I'm not crazy and don't call me Shirley! Yes it's true... when traveling with your kids and your favorite Mother-in-Law to Kauai, you best expect a few requests for fast food. So after spending the day on the East Side of the Island, the kids were hungry so we stopped off at McDonalds in Kapa`a. From there, while in the car traveling back to Poipu, maybe it was the smell of the French Fries or maybe it was the sip of coke she took from the kids drink, but suddenly my Mother-in-Law, aka Mema to the kids exclaimed... "I'm kinda hungry now, can we find another McDonald's?" Thankfully, McDonalds are strategically placed on Island and I knew exactly where to go: McDonald's in Lihue! So we pulled into Lihue, went straight for the drive-thru and got Mema her Big Mac for $7.99!!! (Apparently prices vary from McDonalds' to McDonald's) Service was quick, apparently the Big Mac hit the spot and all was well in the world again. Located right in the heart of Lihue... This McDonald's is your one stop shop for all of the Mickey D's Classics! Fun Fact: The Snap Wrap is Back!!!

It was a really good sandwich and their chicken bread was delicious!

What a wonderful Yelp find! Lots of locals, so you know it's good and worth the price!…read more We had the Braise Short Rib special with Garlic Mashed potatoes. And the Hawaiian plate: Kaluah pork, lomi salmon, ahi poke, mac salad, and poi. I'm not a huge poi fan- so I won't comment. But I do love mac salad and theirs is special! Less "wet" from mayo, more on a thicker side-- superb! The braised short rib was melt in your mouth with a great semi glaze and fantastic crust on the meat. It is a sports bar- so the atmosphere is quite lively and loud. Do not expect a quiet dinner. But the patio is less loud.

There were 12 people in the whole place counting us. No rush came. Our waitress corrected my wife on how to say Lychee and totally said it incorrectly. Haha we slid our table over to the right 4 inches so we could see the game better since there was nobody in the table next to us and she came over and slid it back. She later was visibly annoyed at us for not ordering more and said, "Really?! That's it?" When we told her we were good with what we had. Then an little later asked us to move tables because she had another group coming in. We just asked for the check and left. Never coming back.

After hearing all the buzz and seeing Kenji Burger featured on Guy Fieri's Diners, Drive-Ins and…read moreDives, we had high expectations--and it absolutely delivered. We started with the Furikake Fries, which were packed with flavor and the perfect way to kick off the meal. For burgers, we ordered the Hapa Burger and the Kenji Burger, and both were outstanding. The ingredients were fresh, the flavors were unique, and every bite lived up to the restaurant's reputation. The food was so good that we ended up ordering a Lobster Burrito as a second round just so we could try more of the menu. It was a great decision and did not disappoint. If you're looking for a spot that combines creative island-inspired flavors with high-quality ingredients, Kenji Burger is a must-visit. It definitely lived up to the hype.

The bun was soft and delicious, and the chicken itself was juicy, tender, and full of flavor. The coleslaw on it really tied everything together and added a nice crunch and freshness. We also tried the truffle burger, and that one was the standout. It felt a bit more "fancy" than your typical burger, really rich and flavorful with melted cheese, arugula, etc. That one was easily the best item we had. The fries were crispy, golden, and well-seasoned, rounding out the meal nicely.

The chips came out warm and crispy too which is always a good sign. I love the shredded cabbage on the side to add for a bit of crunch.
