We stopped by Kauai sushi station on our last day on the island for lunch prior to getting on the plane to come back to Oahu. We were looking to try some great sushi and this place had excellent ratings. Ambience is very casual as it's a food truck with covered picnic tables. You order at the window. They give you a pager which beeps when your food is ready, and then you go pick up your food at the window along with chopsticks and small bowls for your shoyu. Fish was fresh, but overall sushi I would say was average which surprised me based on the Yelp reviews. I've had a lot better sushi on Oahu. Prices are expensive. We ordered only a few rolls, and with tax and tip was over $100 and we left hungry. I felt the quality of the fish was good, but I wouldn't go out of my way to come back. read more

We took a short vacation to Kauai and went to Kauai Sushi Station for dinner on the first night we were there. The service was pretty quick and the sushi was great! They have a covered area with picknic benches and lights so it was a really nice and casual place to have dinner. We had the salad, softshell crab tempura and Godzilla roll! Everything was good! The softshell crab and shrimp tempura in the sushi was so crunchy and tasty! On our 2nd day, we had sushi at a restaurant and while it was good, we really liked Kauai Sushi Station so .... we ended up going back there two more times before leaving Kauai. One of the workers recognized us on the 3rd visit LOL. She thanked us for coming back and gave us a complimentary Sushi dish. All the workers were so nice! Great friendly atmosphere. People are hanging out and enjoying good sushi. When we go back to Kauai, we'll definitely make a stop (or 2) to Kauai Sushi Station again. mahalo mark read more

DEC2025 Second stop for the trip, and we had to get more fish of course. We came in at dinner time. The area is a lot of tables set up with shades above (not that we needed it) with lighting underneath. Service was helpful with any questions we had, and food came out relatively quick. My partner and I ordered the pink salmon roll, sashimi salad, avo cucumber roll, and a sweet potato roll. The fish quality was nice. My partner enjoyed her sashimi salad noting the dressing really brought things together. The pink salmon was pretty good. Didn't really notice anything from the sear tho the combination of sauces on top was good. My favorite was the sweet potato roll though. Just simple and straight forward, lots of it. Compatriots had also gotten the godzilla, crunchy, softshell crab, and hanalei rolls. For those they really liked the softshell and the hanalei rolls. read more

Delicious sushi rolls and great service. The outdoor eating patio is also very cute and spacious. We tried the following: - Golden Tiger roll - shrimp tempura was veryyyy crispy--the crispiest texture I've ever had. It's actually a bit too crispy for me, but the flavors were nonetheless good, with a very satiating mouthfeel. - Ginger crazy roll - my favorite. Gingery, crunchy, creamy, satiating, and I'm crazy for ittttt. The salmon was very fresh and buttery--wish I had ordered more of that salmon! - Fire dragon roll - okay. Good but nothing special or mind-blowing for me. - Fresh big eye tuna & avocado roll - simple classic roll, but the tuna was clearly very fresh, with a firm/dense and meaty texture. read more

The staff is very friendly and helpful if you need any recommendations. We weren't too hungry so out of four people we shared three rolls: Godzilla Roll, Ginger Crazy Roll, and Hanalei Rainbow Roll. All the rolls were presented very well and tasted fresh. Don't have anything bad to say about the food at all! read more

First time on Kauai and the concierge at our hotel recommended the Kauai Sushi Station, which is actually a lunch truck across from the Costco gas station. You're probably thinking, 'sushi from a roach coach??'... well I'm telling you it was as good as many of the sushi restaurants I've been to in California. The food is fresh and delicious with adequate portions at a reasonable price. There is covered picnic seating, which was nice because it rained the entire time and the weather didn't stop people from lining up for grub. read more

Food truck sushi!!! Landed at the airport and wanted real food after a long flight. This place was close and reviews were really good so we stopped by. This is a FOOD TRUCK and it is located across from a Home Depot and across from Costco. Wasn't sure what to order and the friendly employee asked a couple questions regarding what we liked and suggested 3 rolls as a nice variety option. I went with it and all three were delicious. Fresh fish and high quality ingredients. They have an outdoor covered area where you can sit and eat. So a family of chickens walk nearby as we were eating. It was a lot of fun and the food and service were on point. Very reasonable prices for Hawaii too! read more

Kauai sushi station qas voted #1 sushi throughout the islands a few months back so Kauai sushi station was on the to do list. We stopped by for a quick bite after completing another to do list item and ordered a california roll and spicy tuna roll. Wait time wasn't bad (less than 5 minutes), plenty of tables to eat, and plenty of other people there eating. The guy at the cashier was friendly and apparently they hired a new sushi chef James recently. The california roll was good as well as the spicy tuna roll. The fish in the spicy tuna roll was Ono to say the least. The rice wasn't over powering at all so I would give it a thumbs up. Overall experience was nice. Who would expect to get good sushi from a truck, yes very surprising especially being located by a hardware store and Costco. read more

Sushi so fresh it probably had frequent flyer miles. Found this gem of a sushi truck near the Kauai airport and WOW -- talk about a pre- (or post-) flight miracle! Every bite was ocean-fresh, melt-in-your-mouth perfection. You can taste the love, care, and maybe a little island magic in every roll. The owner was incredibly kind -- checked in to make sure we were loving it (spoiler: we absolutely were). You can tell he takes real pride in what he serves, and it shows. Already planning my return trip -- not just to Kauai, but specifically to this truck. read more

A sushi food truck that's better than soo many restaurants! I came while pregnant so I wasn't able to eat many of the cooked rolls. We tried the Godzilla and the Golden Tiger roll. The golden tiger roll has salmon on top but they offered to cook the salmon for me! So so sweet of them to do that. My husband also had the hamachi nigiri and the Ginger Crazy roll and he said it was very fresh and tasty. Also, the presentation of these rolls are very beautiful as well, I love the flower touch!

We wished we had gotten a bit more rice, as the scoop was pretty small so we had a lot more curry in the end vs. rice. - Mango sticky rice (8/10): I've eaten a lot of mango sticky rice dishes in the past, and this one was pretty average. The mango was a good level of ripe, and the sticky rice had a nice, mildly sweet flavor. Our suggestion would be to pour the coconut sauce over the rice instead of next to it so the flavors soak in!

Sat at the back bar and was still ignored a big part of the time, especially to get outta there. I had my wallet on the bar for a half hour before I finally said something. It was noisy, so I knew we would want to get outta there as soon as we finished eating. Food was good, however nothing special about it. Exactly what you'd expect from a busy sushi spot that locals love... just an okay experience across the board.

Primed and ready for grilling!!!

We were thankfully accommodated since we were tired from travel. The atmosphere was welcoming! On a nicer day, would have sat on their open porch to eat. The restaurant itself is located in a second floor of a plaza. Apps we got: Gyoza (comes with 4), Papaya Salad, Poke Nachos. Kids enjoyed them! Papaya salad- we chose to get non spicy for the kids. Adults also enjoyed it, dressing was light and a good balance of sweet and sour. Poke Nachos- also good balance as the fish was fresh! The "Nachos" are just Salt and Vinegar chips you would buy at a store. I would reorder just for the fish and the marinade!

We were drawn to this place probably like most people who visit this area because of the yelp rating. It's right across from the Costco gas station. There was a long line which was a good sign. But did not know we would wait an hour and a half from lining up to finally getting our food. We were 6th in line and it was interesting the way they organized things. I noticed when people were done eating, they would go up to the truck as if they were ordering to give their garbage to the cashier. Wouldn't it be more efficient if you provided a garbage can, so when people are done eating, they can throw their garbage on their own. We ordered the rainbow roll ($18) and ocean king roll ($20). The portion was small and the taste was not very impressive. The nigiri was pretty good... But no matter how good the sushi is... No food is worth an hour and a half wait. ‍ read more

Some of the best, fresh sushi we had in Kauai. The workers seem to have regulars who they greet on a first name basis and they're very kind! The Shrimp Tempura Roll is in my opinion one of the best options, and I would fully recommend it. The shrimp is nice and crunchy and the flavor is full and savory. The Spicy Salmon roll had fresh tasting salmon and tasted great as well, and if you are looking to get salmon then I would recommend it! The Sake Nigiri was good, it didn't have a lot of flavor which was as expected, but it was a satisfying eat. If you are looking for more flavor though then I would go with another fish nigiri! Wait times can be around 10-20 minutes as it seems they get a lot of online orders, fortunately there is also a place to sit next to the food truck if you have to wait! read more

On Monday and Wednesday I catch the bus from Anahola to Lihue to go to college. After college, I have an entire hour until the next bus comes. For the past month, I've spent a majority of that time going to Kauai Sushi Station and riding my bike to Kukui Grove to eat. I have never been disappointed by this local business, especially when their food comes at a high-quality for a decent price. I enjoy coming here every day after school, especially since it is a healthier alternative to the other restaurants and stores in the area. If you want a good meal and eat local, this is who you support. Thank you to Haru and all the friendly staff at Kauai Sushi Station. read more

Kauai Sushi Station is a true hidden gem on the island! We stumbled across this food truck and were blown away by the freshness and flavor. The fish was incredibly fresh--some of the best we've had, even compared to sit-down restaurants. Every roll was crafted with care, and the portions were generous for the price. You can tell they put pride into their ingredients and presentation. The service was warm and welcoming, and even though it's a food truck, it felt like a full dining experience. We highly recommend trying the spicy tuna roll, dragon roll, or any of their daily specials. A must-visit if you're in Kauai and craving sushi! read more

Very unassuming food truck across the street from costco. Went late after our flight, did not disappoint! Small family owned business. The sushi is super fresh and their presentation is very good. Takes some time for the food to come out but it's clear the team takes time to prepare their food well. Soft shell crab salad - tasted good, but a bit pricey for what you get. Unagi roll - solid eel roll, love it Maguro/Hamachi Nigiri - very fresh fish Special rolls - they were all good. Big portions! We got the Hanalei rainbow, Ginger crazy (probably the favorite of the 3), and King Ocean. Would come again. read more

I recently had the pleasure of dining at a fantastic sushi truck in Lihue. The experience was truly remarkable, as the sushi was incredibly fresh and flavorful. Each bite was a delight, with the fish practically melting in my mouth. The variety of rolls and nigiri offered was impressive, showcasing the chef's expertise in combining traditional and innovative flavors. The service was prompt and friendly, and the overall atmosphere was relaxed, making it a perfect spot for a quick and satisfying meal. If you're a sushi enthusiast, I highly recommend visiting this truck for an unforgettable culinary experience. read more

Kaua'i Sushi Station is an absolute gem! Don't let the fact that it's a food truck fool you--the sushi here is top-notch and so ono. We ordered four rolls along with the takoyaki, and everything was incredibly fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. The rolls were generous, perfectly balanced, and tasted just as good (if not better) than many sit-down sushi restaurants. Service was fast, friendly, and welcoming, which made the experience even better. It's the perfect spot if you're craving high-quality sushi without the long wait. read more

Lovely service, the server was very helpful with menu recommendations and the service was very timely- the presentation of the plates was sublime! My mother and I shared a plate of the crunchy spicy tuna roll and the vegetarian sweet potato roll, both were absolutely delicious. We also had their house salad and their house dressing was so delectable my mother was begging for the recipe! I would recommend this food truck to anyone who wants to enjoy some beautifully dressed cuisine and some authentic friendly vibes read more

This truck is a total gem! I can't rave about it enough--the fish is insanely fresh and every bite is a win. The Yellowtail Jalapeño was melt-in-your-mouth tender, the Crazy Ginger Roll had the perfect punch, and the Pink Salmon was buttery and delicious. Even the California Roll--something you'd think would be basic--was next level, hands down the best I've ever had. Bonus points: they've got great music playing if you hang out and eat there, which makes the whole experience even more fun. This spot is a must! read more

Hands down the freshest, most delicious sushi I've ever tasted! If you're in Kaua'i and love sushi, this spot is an absolute must-visit. The house salad was crisp and flavorful, and the Ginger Crazy Roll was pure perfection--not overloaded with ginger, just the perfect hint. Every bite was sushi bliss. The outdoor setting, with picnic tables and string lights, adds to the laid-back local vibe. The staff is warm and welcoming, but be patient--true sushi artistry takes time, and it's worth every minute. read more

This place hasn't been open long at all, but I have been going one to two times a week since discovering them. It's a bit strange to think that the best sushi on Kauai could come from a truck, but I'd have to argue that it's up there as maybe the best. The quality of service and food are excellent and the prices are incredibly fair. Whether you prefer rolls or simpler sushi like nigiri or sashimi, these guys crush it. What's even better is that they're open every day for lunch into the early evening! read more

I'd been wanting to try Kauai Sushi Station for a while, and it did not disappoint. The food truck is conveniently located near the Costco gas station and Home Depot, making it an easy stop. The sushi is incredibly fresh--easily the best I've had on Kauai. The flavors are clean, the presentation is great, and the quality stands out right away. The ginger roll, in particular, was excellent and is now a must-order for me. Definitely worth the visit and a spot I'll be returning to often. read more

I give them five stars for their pricing three stars for the customer service and three stars for the quality. They have an amazing menu. But the sushi that they make is not properly rolled. The roles fall apart. However because they include so much ingredients and the prices are good I would come back again. I really like these guys and I would just hope that they take some proper training on how to roll sushi. Other than that the location's great they're fast. read more

Across the street from Costco gas and Home Depot. There is some seating and parking right next to the food truck. Freshly made. Friendly woman taking orders. Ocean roll and sweet potato roll were both yummy. The ocean roll had about 12 pieces. The sweet potato roll was larger with about 6 pieces. I don't remember because I ate it too fast.
