    The roast beef!!!! So tender and delicious! What a great find for coming right out of the airport.
    Janine O.

    The cashier was super friendly and helpful. Parking is a couple spots in front and of course - street parking. It's a quick grab and go spot which I appreciated coming right out of the airport and going to the hotel. I instantly fell in love with the roast beef plate. It was so tender and juicy. If it was a cold/rainy day it would've been perfection. The Mac salad was great! Husband ordered the curry stew and liked it (4/5 stars).

    Located in Lihue, just 3-5 minutes drive to the airport. Check hours, as I believe it's not open on weekends or Mondays. Amazing loco moco! We ordered the corned beef hash moco full size and shared between 2 persons and it was enough. They have some crack in the secret sauce gravy! There is soooo much gravy drenched on top and it has a lot of beef flavor and additional ingredients that make it stand out. The corned beef is the canned type, as I like and it is perfectly cooked. The rice is so perfect, warm and fluffy short grain. It was recommended by the Kauai backcountry adventure tubing guides and you can't go wrong! There is no seating here, just grab and take out.

    Great for a pick up breakfast. Local stop and great quality. Good portion sizes too! Parking out front or around the area as this is an industrial zone. Really kind staff and lots of good choices. Can never go wrong with a loco moco. No tables or chairs as this is take out. Can call to order first. Don't forget cash only. Highly recommend!

    Damn, that was good. A run-down exterior hiding a total gem inside. The food is bomb -- think deliciously greasy, not health-focused. Quick service and exactly what you want when you're craving something indulgent.

    ***cash only****Recently had a business trip to Kauai. I called in my order at 6am and conveniently picked up 6 plates at 8am. Good thing I called ahead they were sold out of corned beef by 8a! I'm a sucker for home made corned beef and it was delicious! Portions were generous and I love that it's a small local business tucked away in an industrial area. Just remember to bring CASH! Take out only. My local co workers said the Luau Stew is amazing here I'll try that next time;)

    Really delicious food. The gravy was tasty. You just drive up and walk to an open garage. This is in the same area as a lot of auto repair shops. No outdoor seating. They were really friendly.

    Uma's plate
    Lisa K.

    A hidden gem in an industrial area in Lihue. Uma's plate is the best thing on the menu! It's 2 beef patties on fried rice with an egg topped with grilled mushrooms & onion, cheese and brown gravy. Can you say kanak attack!? Service is fast and friendly. Parking can get a little tricky during busy times but you'll manage. I do not recall seeing any places to eat on site. Best to call in your order before you arrive. CASH ONLY.

    Teriyaki chicken plate $14
    Magda G.

    I was looking for a quick meal and this was close by. It was a bit early to get a heavy meal so opted for their daily special, chicken teriyaki plate $14. It's located in an industrial location and parking was limited. It's a walk up window to order and they only accept cash. Very pleasant and easy to order. Food was ready within 3 minutes. The rice is amazing and the macaroni was good. The chicken was a dud in my opinion. It was hard on one side and hard to chew. The teriyaki was made very salty. Maybe they had an off day.

    Menu as of 09/08/2025

    Quick breakfast for people who work in the industrial area or for people just getting off the plane. I always default to ordering their Breakfast Sandwich or Spinach Mushroom Omelet. There are no tables but there are some stools available. Parking is limited. Friendly service. Oh, & cash only!

    The food is hit or miss. What they do well is great... what they don't is disappointing. Either way the price is right!!! Open work days and for breakfast until 945. After that only lunch. Recommend the Teri burger and omelette. Skip the fried rice and the stew. Service is fast, cash only and totally take out... go to a near by park and enjoy. The ladies pack what you need ( napkins, fork, etc in a little box and are especially sweet.

    Grab and go breakfast! If you need a yummy breakfast to start your day before your adventure come here and grab and go. Affordable and yummy, I was surprised how good this food was for the cost. Don't let the car yard ambience fool you. Service is friendly and food is good. Other: -Cash only $$ -Parking lot available -No bathrooms -Friendly service -The 4 stars is because I thought the breakfast sandwich could use an aoli or sauce.

    Keoki's is a walk up window - with a couple of stools on the side but you want to take your food to go - it's clean, well oiled, quick service - with parking Go there for the burgers - loved the teriyaki burgers - they're small so you want to get at least two or a few -

    Walk up order window. I think you can order over the phone.
    Mel M.

    Located amongst warehouses, this family run place offers hearty dishes. This place is popular based on the number of guests showing up for their phone orders. Although we simply ordered a breakfast sandwich and French toast, our family raved about the Uma plate and Combo breakfast plates. The amount of food served seems good for the value. We will return when visiting Lihue!

    Uma's Special $13.75 tax included.

The first night, my husband ordered the prime rib special with mac salad and rice, which was basically his dream come true, and I got the loco moco, which I shared with my toddler. Everything was flavorful, comforting, and exactly what we were craving. We enjoyed it so much that we came back on our final night and ordered the galbi and lechon kawali. Once again, every dish was a hit. The proteins were flavorful and filling, and the mac salad deserves its own shoutout. It may be my favorite mac salad on the island. This is absolutely the kind of place we'll return to on our next visit. It's also conveniently located near the airport, making it a great first stop when you arrive or a last meal before heading home. A couple things to know before you go: parking was easy when we visited, but there isn't any seating. This is very much a pick-up-and-go spot. I'd recommend calling ahead and placing your order so you're not waiting around. Great food, generous portions, and the kind of local spot you hope to find when traveling. We'll definitely be back.

We went on a Saturday around lunchtime and it wasn't too busy. There is a small parking lot near the restaurant on the left hand side. It was filled when we first got there, but we were luckily able to get a spot. I could see this lot filling up quickly during other meal rush hours, so do take note if you plan on driving. The ordering is done like your typical poke place, you tell the service worker what you would like and there's a small toppings bar at the end before the cashier. There was a small line when we went, and even with the line, it still only took about 5-10 minutes to get our food. There isn't interior seating in the restaurant though, you will have to get your food take out, or just eat in the parking lot. I got the 3 scoops of poke option for $15.25, and I think that this is a pretty solid deal for the variety of fish that you can try out! I think based on my personal experience on Kaua'i, it will be difficult to get food, especially poke at a reasonable price. But for this price, it's probably the best place on the island to get poke without paying $20+ for the same variety. The fish tasted fresh, and I am a fan of the selection of toppings they had. If you are in the Lihue area and looking to try some poke at a reasonable price, I would recommend The Fish Express! There seems to be a decent amount of other interesting looking options on the menu, and if I'm ever in the area again, I would totally give them a try!

For many years, Merriman's held the top spot for Mai Tais on the islands for me, but Hualani's just stole the crown, in this reviewer's humble opinion. Perfectly balanced with an out of this world macadamia nut dusted rim. And it's a truly special restaurant too. It's the first place we go when we land, tucked in The Timbers close the airport, you can go from airport to relaxing poolside with a spectacular view in 5 minutes. Service is absolutely top notch - every server, every bartender, every person we spoke to on property was a seasoned pro and a delight to interact with. The food is spectacular. We've had a few items over the years that we just can't get out of our head, the crispy rice poke and the short rib potstickers especially. It's not an inexpensive meal, but if you think of it as renting yourself an hour or two of unpretentious luxury, it's a screaming deal.
