Overall, our group loved it! While we're in Lihue, we will come back here one more time.

They also had a live band playing, which created a fun atmosphere and it looked like a lot of people were really enjoying themselves. If you're just looking for a quiet place to sit and eat, though, it can get a bit loud, nothing against the live music, just something to keep in mind depending on what kind of dining experience you're looking for. The ahi nachos were a bit disappointing for us. The ahi itself was fresh and tasted great, but the "nachos" were actually more like fried wontons instead of traditional nacho chips, which felt a little odd and just wasn't really our thing. It would've helped if that was disclosed on the menu or if the server gave a quick heads up beforehand so expectations were clearer. On the positive side, the Tempura Ahi Bites were our favorite dish out of everything we ordered, definitely the standout item for us. The rib plate was also decent with satisfying portions overall.

The prices are very reasonable! We probably saved $3-10 off each plate coming from Maui. My dad got the LauLau Plate and said the meat was soft and moist and my mom NEVER annihilates her food and she literally ate every bite of her Steamed Fish which was Catfish today. It had this yummy soy or sesame sauce with some green onions and ginger on top. My Oxtail Soup with Rice was perfect for the cold rainy day. Delicious pieces of fall off the bone oxtail and I literally dumped all the cilantro and ginger in the hot broth. Mom and I had a bit of a fuzzy throat so we got the Calamansi Juice with Honey which was delicious! As you sip, you taste pieces of Calamansi and see swirls of seeds and calamansi skin. If you like pulp, you'd enjoy this refreshing drink. We ended the meal with 4 pieces of hot egg tarts! I'm surprised they had them because when I go to Oahu, there's some spots where you special order them on the weekends. Overall, a delicious local spot here in Lihue!

The Loco Moco plate was great. The gravy and beef patties were flavorful and the rice and mac salad were great as well. I get mine with sunny side up eggs and they were cooked perfectly. They give plenty of gravy on the dish so nothing is dry. Both versions of pancakes were large and the banana pancakes were the better of the two; they were very fluffy and had plenty of banana in the batter. The Ube were good as well. They also gave a lot of bacon with the meal, like 6-7 pieces. It's definitely a local stop in Lihue, and those are the places I prefer to visit. We would definitely return.

My mother and I visited Phở Kauaʻi in Līhuʻe, Kauaʻi, Hawaii [4303 Rice St] on Tuesday, 01/20/26,…read morearound 10 AM. We tried the following items: * Phở - Brisket & Beef Meatballs Vietnamese Noodle Soup * Shrimp Summer Roll w/ Peanut Sauce * Shrimp Tempura * Rice Plate - Grilled Pork Chop The phở was truly flavorful and comforting. I loved the rich broth paired with the delectable brisket and beef meatballs. Sriracha sauce, basil leaves, jalapeños, bean sprouts, and lime perfectly complemented it. The shrimp summer roll was tasty and paired well with the house-made peanut sauce and sriracha. The shrimp tempura was fried to perfection, with a coating that was absolutely dynamite in every bite. Lastly, the grilled pork chop was juicy and well-seasoned. The interior of the restaurant had plenty of tables and chairs available for customers. I also appreciated the white-and-gold plating used for the dishes, which added a beautifully nice touch. The customer service was wonderfully attentive, and the food was fairly priced. Phở Kauaʻi was one of my favorite restaurants to visit while exploring Līhuʻe. Everything, from the food to the service, was beyond incredible. I highly recommend stopping by.

We ordered three beef broth phos, a fried rice with garlic shrimp, and a fried rice with chicken. We also got two orders of the shrimp rolls. The food came out extremely fast which was great because we were hungry. The fried rice comes without the meat mixed in so just note that the shrimp and chicken comes on the side instead of being cooked in. My family really enjoyed their pho. Overall a good experience, nothing extraordinary but quite good after a long flight.

Sean Carrillo performed beautifully last night, our server was extremely attentive and hospitable, and the food/drinks were superb! We are already looking forward to coming back.

I enjoy trying local beers as close to the source as possible, so going to local brewpubs is something my wife and I try to do regularly. It was our third day in Kauai, so made this our lunch choice, and we were hungry after a long tour. There was plenty of parking in the dedicated lot, and it wasn't too busy when we stopped in after 1:30 on a Wednesday. We were greeted promptly and got to choose where we sat, in a picnic table with plenty of space. Chose two house draft beers: Honopu Hefeweizen ($9) which was not good...very weak and watery. But the Hanakoa Cream ale was worse ($9)...chose it because of a local cream ale from Wisconsin that I love. But it tasted more like a glass of lite pilsner, more like a Miller Lite than a cream ale. I had to finish both...should have just ordered one. The food came out a bit later. We wanted to share the local Style Smoke meat plate (sounded promising), which was a plate of pork shoulder ($16). Plenty of it, but it felt like leftover meat, reheated in a sugary sauce...looked and tasted like Tocino (which isn't my favorite), not like pulled pork/kalua pork. It came with a scoop of white rice. I got the spicy Poke ($19) which used good quality raw ahi tuna. It had lots of tasty, spicy mayo and was enjoyable. But the rice was not cooked well (it was mushy), and I had to ask myself: why has the rice been so mediocre for our first two days? (It got better as the trip went on). My wife got the Huli Huli Veg & Rice plate ($25)...not good. Just two pieces of chicken breast meat (coming from frozen) with a very light sauce (flavorless) and the carrots were big chunks, candied, which is not what we expected. Brought most of this back to our hotel (since we had a fridge), but neither one of us touched it for the rest of the trip. Pricing is inconsistent (the chicken plate should have been the cheapest item considering the ingredients and prep work). Payment was done through Toast, and there was a 3% service charge for using credit card.

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.
