First - and most important- Happy Eats is in a new location. It's in the Walmart parking lot near…read moredowntown Lihue. It's at the far end of the parking lot, near the main road. Apple Maos doesn't know this and sent us to the old address on Rice Street (which is now full of construction equipment). There is no ambience, which in itself, makes it fun. Roasting chickens in a Walmart parking lot...for one of the best meals you will get! There's one large table which becomes communal if need be. And the staff couldn't be nicer - chat them up if they aren't too busty (which they aren't, because no one except locals and visitors who get tipped off know where they are for now). We got the marinated chicken and an a la carte order of lechon, and both were delicious. Order enough for leftovers. I later used the lechon to make a sandwich using Midnight Bear sourdough bread, a ripe avocado purchased that day from the Kauai Community Market, the tomato and onion that came with the lechon, and drenched it all in the sauce provided. Paradise!

Upon pickup there was a mixup, which the owner acknowledged and was accommodating, and I received 4 each of 3 different flavors (Fruity Pebbles, Oreo Crumble, and Caramel Heath Crumble), but it worked out because my teens would only be interested in those flavors anyways. Fun flavors for St Patrick's Day and best to eat malasada fresh! Pickup was at the owner's residence instead of at their usual tent by Eleele Shopping Center. Location was easy to find.

Every bite was unbelievably fresh, soft, and melt-in-your-mouth tender. The flavors were unique and beautifully balanced, with subtle Tahitian influences that set it apart from any poke I've had before. There's plenty of people in the poke game so I'm always looking for standouts. You can tell great care goes into both the quality of the fish and the creativity of the preparation. This was one of the most memorable meals I had on Kauaʻi, and I can't wait to come back for more.
