Everyone told us to go to JoJo's- sorry JoJo- THIS place is the sh%#!…read more Please walk, run, waddle your way HERE! Set in a little strip mall, so lots of parking! Friendly staff. Nice air conditioning inside. They also sell merch. We shared the Almond Joy and the Lava Flow. Both delicious! The Almond Joy had great texture with the almonds and toasted coconut. And the Lava Flow was juice and perfectly sweet. No high fructose corn syrup here!

Wow! Wow wow! This was one of my favorite shaved ice places…read moreever. The fact that they have a vegan foam for the ube iced was awesome. So many times I have to skip out of the foam or the whipped cream because it's dairy. Back in the mainland and I'm already missing this place. Everyone there was wonderful and helpful in answering my questions. It's nice and cool in the shop. There are a few tables and a couple of benches. I wish I would have gone to this place in the beginning of my trip so I could have returned multiple times. But now I know for my next visit.

Best malasadas on Kauai. Fresh, warm, crispy outside, airy inside, and overall a great sweet treat…read more Their most popular one is the POG malasada which did not disappoint. The filling is thicker than Leonard's Bakery (Oahu), similar to butter cream texture rather than ooey-gooey. You need to wait a bit after placing your order, but it's worth it.

Ok, lets start with the positive and the thing that matters most... food!…read more The food was great overall! i got the pulled pork loco moco because I was hungry and it was decent with good portion size. The malassadas were amazing. I got the ube, POG and mango. And they were all great in their own way and would love to try other flavors. The "meh" aspect of my visit - it took a long time to order/get my food. I know they make things fresh but I just couldn't believe how long it took for each party to move through. Now, once I got to the front, the servers were really friendly and kind, and the food was great. But time your visit so you don't spend 45 minutes waiting around.

We came early in the morning , in case pastries might be sold out…read more Very small selection which is fine , but surprisingly no guava , coconut, mango or chocolate pastries. Not a dog, just interesting Ordered the banana scone , blueberry turnover and sticky bun . Sticky bun with Mac nuts and sauce on top. Excellent. Blueberry turnover was good. Banana scone -OK. Not much flavor going on. The owner was very friendly. They didn't sell coffee, a little surprise.

Really really wanted to love this place. The owner is so sweet! We opted for the mango scone,…read morecoconut muffin and brownies. Unfortunately the scone wasn't what we expected. It seemed more on the bland side, not being able to taste any mango. It seemed somewhat of a savory scone. The coconut muffin was yummy! The brownies were a bit dry and bland similar to the scone. Cute little bakery with much go to choose from....I'm sure we'll be back to try her other baked goods!

First time checking out Familee Shave Ice and it was one of the best bingsu I've ever had. This…read moresays A LOT when I live close to Ktown. The shop is hidden behind a shopping plaza so follow the signs along the way. Service is great - Tim and Jess, the owners, are so friendly. They will come out and chat with you if it's not too busy! We ordered 4 different flavors (mango, strawberry, injeolmi, and coffee) to try but I only got pics for two of them. They were all beautifully crafted and tasted so fresh with every bite. The ice is so powdery too! Familee really does not skimp out on ingredients and are very generous with their portions. My family really liked everything we ordered and will definitely recommend Familee to everyone who visits Kauai. Mahalo Tim and Jess!

Mr. Lee and his wife make very very delicious Korean style shave ice. We go to Koreatown in Los Angeles often to visit family, and this is as good as the best places we go to in Koreatown LA. Also, Mr. Lee is very friendly and helpful in choosing flavors.

First visit so a limited review. I ordered the short rib and garlic shrimp w rice and vegetables…read moreinstead of more starch. Vegetables were mediocre. Ribs and shrimp were excellent. My wife ordered a pulled pork sandwich w fries. Pork was very good but not as good as a Southern pulled pork. This place is a big deli and store. The deli menu is very extensive. The deli offered prime rib in 8 or 16 oz. Sizes For $19 and $32. They also have a rib steak. Several Hawaiian desserts. We tried the mango haipia cake. Excellent. Overall prices were very reasonable. The most expensive items were the steaks at the mid 20's range with sides. We would definitely return to try other items.

Whenever we're in Kauai, this is always one of our must-stop spots for pie. On this visit, we…read morearrived just before closing after spending the afternoon at Salt Pond Beach. We picked up a whole Island Lemon Pie to take with us (forgot to get a photo). I got myself a slice of the Macadamia Nut Pie to go, which was delicious, especially with vanilla bean ice cream. Everything we've tried here has been consistently good and we've never had a bad experience. If you're planning a visit, try to get there early since popular flavors can sell out. Definitely worth a stop!

(Tookout 04/28/26 TU @ 2:30pm): it appeared every slice was the right choice!…read more I met up with a friend for the day, and she insisted on taking me to The Right Slice! In town for the day simply to show me an investment property my family and I might be interested in the very near future, before she departed she had to pick up an order of pies to bring back to her family. Of course, I came along for the ride because I liked pie, but I was curious how good they were if she was willing to fly several of them in her carry-on. Founded by Sandy in October 2009, she quickly adjusted her business model from doing six community events a week to her first retail location in Lihue in 2011. The business continued to grow that led to a second location this time in Kalaheo in 2014. Fast-forward to today, the Kalaheo store is the only one standing, and she has cultivated a strong following both near and far of pie fans and the continued support of the local community. Did I choose the right slice for my first time here!? PURCHASE(S) Mango Lilikoi Pie Slice ($8.50): Their most popular pie, they had me at mango! Filled with plump juicy mangoes combined with the just right amount of lilikoi (passionfruit) and topped with a sugar crust. Juicy sweetness burst in every bite, and I was in pure heaven! https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=120&select=-IUMWv6HB5wpv9AiQ-Y_bg Macadamia Nut Pie Slice ($8.50): This time, they had me at macadamia! Made with a ton of island macadamia nuts, roasted to a perfect golden brown combined with butter, eggs, sugar, and fresh spices for a nutty tropical sensation, this pie reminded me of a pecan pie but so much better! It was heavy, thick, and required a cold glass of milk to perfectly pair it with. I went nuts for this pie! https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=120&select=JfthjT1sMLgeXqbfMPGzhA To-Go Containers ($0.50 x2): For my dessert, I've never been charged this before, but I understood businesses needed to cut/pass along costs as much as possible - c'est la vie. Credit Card Surcharge 3.00% ($0.57): Another pass-along fee that has become more prevalent - oh well. SERVICE I was warmly greeted by a young woman behind the counter who gave me time to review the menu while she offered recommendations. Once I ordered, my items were quickly packed and ready to go - mahalo! PARKING (FREE): We were lucky to grab one of the five small spots in front of their shop (it was very difficult to back out due to the heavily-trafficked thoroughfare). Otherwise, I wasn't sure where else you could park nearby - be prepared. ATMOSPHERE, DÉCOR, AMBIENCE A country shop-like and ice-cream parlor feel with a couple of wooden tables, pie display https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=120&select=5gAkOcUYZ1pbgpC8UZq5xg cases, a pie menu https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=120&select=vSyaGOufl1cmq9OBOppvPw hung from the ceiling behind the counter, counters and shelves with merchandise, and an open entry way that welcomed you https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=120&select=jSiOeD6ISWVAot4Qkz2e1A in for a treat. Plenty of natural lighting came through the large front doors and windows while soul-sucking fluorescent electric ceiling lights filled in the rest. There were no TVs, while pop music played in the background. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=120&select=53zRcRMKuNaS23ufwnBORw ATTIRE Totally casual, so I would normally be in a t-shirt, boardshorts, and flip-flops. OVERALL The Right Slice offered magical pies both savory and sweet (I must return to try a savory one!) all made from scratch and with a ton of love. The care and pride was tasted in each incredible bite, and I wished I had one to bring back with me after I ate each slice back at the resort. Everything tasted phenomenal, the prices may've been a tad high (but well worth it!), and the service was calming and straightforward. Plus, I always loved to try and support small local mom & pop businesses. I found complete value based on the prices, service, and experience noted above (TOTAL paid experience was around $19.00 BEFORE any discounts, points usage, and/or tip). And, they accepted my credit card of choice... AMEX! 5.0 STARS
