    Chicken taco
    Kyla F.

    Yum! Some of the best food we had on the island honestly. Absolutely loved my chicken taco- amazing flavor! Yum

    Poke and brown rice

    Poke and brown rice was perfect - some of the best food we had on the island. Wasabi sauce was also amazing!

    Blue marlin with rice and salad

    We stopped by this fish market on the way back from the Lighthouse for some lunch. It's very casual. It's small inside, where you just place your order and you can either take it to go or eat outside. I got the fish of the date plate and it was the blue marlin fish that day with rice and a salad. The price was reasonable and a bit more affordable than Hanalei. It was so fresh and good! The portion was just right. The service was fast and the workers were friendly. It was so good, I came back the next day and ordered the same thing again.

    When in Hawaii, drink Mexican!

    Overloaded Fish Tacos, buried in an avalanche of slaw and heavy, cold, salsa-like(?) tomato chunks. One of the few disappointments of our trip. Heard this spot was great. Probably is? Next time, I'll get the poke, which is supposed to be good. Fish Tacos just seemed like a thing to get on Kauai. The 'well done' ahi was spicy & flavorful. A blackened taste, which I love. Had to scoop off a ton of toppings to find it, but once I did, it was yummy. The other fish, was pretty bland. We did nearly screw-up our order, so I appreciate the frantic girl in charge, not getting mad at us and adjusting things for a last-minute fix.

    Very fresh fish and tasty, unfortunately being a Californian with lots of amazing Mexican at hand I can't say the tacos were great, they were good but the fish was great.

    Grilled Teriyaki Chicken Breast Plate
    Anastacia R.

    Food is AMAZING. We loved everything we ordered...my daughter enjoyed the teriyaki chicken breast, mac salad, and rice...SUPER tender chicken and really tasty. I had the poke plate with added kimchi cucumbers which were yummy. Perfect portions...worth it. My husband enjoyed his shrimp tacos...he said it was the best meal of the day. Highly recommend this spot. Low key restaurant...chill vibes. SUPER helpful and wonderful staff.

    This was a great plate lunch in the Kilauea area. I stopped here after visiting the Kilauea Lighthouse and it was exactly what I was craving. The chicken was flavorful and tender. I wish there were more potatoes in the Potato & Mac Salad, but it was still delicious. I probably should have order fish, considering it is a "fish market", but I was satisfied with my chicken. Next time I will try some seafood.

    Came here since we needed a place to chill for lunch around the area and it was pretty good. You order inside and eat outside on their tables. I tried out these items. Grilled Fish Tacos - Pretty good, I liked it. Fresh fish with tasty sauce. Worth getting. (4.5/5) Grilled teriyaki Chicken Breast Plate - Healthy, I got this with brown rice and it was a very clean dish. Decently juicy. (4/5) Overall good spot for a quick bite. Tasty food. Parking - Plenty in the lot.

    After being seriously let down by a poke bowl at another spot in Princeville, this place totally redeemed my day. and shoutout to the guy working the counter too. Super patient, friendly, and made ordering easy. Kilauea Fish Market is tucked behind the plaza, across from the main Kilauea Market, and it's absolutely worth the stop. I ordered the sesame tuna poke and it was so fresh and flavorful. I added kimchee cucumbers, shoyu jalapeños, and seaweed salad, and every topping was fire. Everything tasted clean, fresh, and perfectly balanced. The setup is simple but done right. Inside is small, just enough room to check out the deli case and place your order. Water, utensils, and sauces are conveniently set up to the left. Outside is where you want to eat. They've got a chill outdoor seating area with a few bar-height tables plus picnic benches along the side of the patio. For the quality and portion size, it's absolutely worth the price. If you're craving fresh poke and don't want to be disappointed, this is the spot.

    This place was packed when I stopped by for dinner. It looked very chaotic and the workers looked frantic but the food was exceptional. I had their seared ahi plate which was so so good. I love that they give you a lot of side salad too. The seasoning was delicious as well as the dipping sauce that came with it. I would come back here in a heartbeat.

    Poke Plate with Tuna - $18

    We were in Princeville during our visit to Hawaii, and were interested in trying some delicious Hawaiian Poke nearby. Kilauea Fish Market looked to be an interesting pick as it seems to be highly rated by both locals and island visitors alike. We went on a Friday around dinnertime (6pmish) and got our order quickly. The restaurant itself is located in a shopping plaza - there are plenty of spots for many cars to park, and I can't see it filling up even during meal rush hours. Service is fast and casual, you first go in to place your order at the register, then you stand by, and then they will call your name and you can pick up your order and seat yourself. The only seating options are outside the restaurant, as the interior only has ordering - There are about 10-15ish seats right outside. Since we ordered poke, we got our order almost instantly - I did notice it could take up to 10-15 minutes to get your order if you order any of the other options on the menu. I got the poke plate for $18 - they had a tuna option for the day. The poke was decent, the fish tasted fresh and had a pleasant kick of spices. There were also some strands of onion to give a more varying texture. The food and service were good. I just think that the price was the thing the turned me the most after receiving the food. In my opinion, charging $18 for a singular scoop of poke with rice is very steep - I didn't walk away from this meal feeling a quarter full. I know that it could be better too, I was able to try other poke places on Kauai and was able to get more variety and even 1-2 more scoops of fish for the exact same price. In the end, the food was decent, but if I am in the Princeville area and want some poke, I might try and visit a different establishment. The steep prices for getting what easily accessible and iconic dish of Hawaii turned me away, but if you are really craving it, it will fill that need in a pinch.

    The fish was fresh. You get generous fish portions in the poke plate: they give you a 1/3 pound portion of it. You get your choice of a side as well- I got the edamame, which was really good. The edamame was tossed in a flavorful sesame oil I believe. I liked that it was open late- open til 8pm, in contrast to other poke places which seem to close early. They also have grilled tuna steak, kalbi short ribs, and fish tacos too.

    Kilauea Fish Market is on 4270 Kilauea Rd. Kauai You walk in side to place order picnic tables outside under a nice size patio and busy inside Menu outside, but they have specials inside to And cold water too Counter service is great, very busy cooking and see fresh in fridge case.

    I had the ahi fish role. It was supposed to be seared. It was not. Fish was large pieces of sinew. It made the entire wrap inedible.

    How is it that I have never reviewed my favorite Sushi Bar on and off island? Yikes!…read more I'm fortunate to live on island and make every opportunity to get my sushi fix here. This place has the freshest and most well prepared sushi, sashimi and "omakase" (chefs choice original roll). Omakase is ALWAYS out of this world no matter which chef came up with that nights special. The fish is always super fresh so they don't need to drown it in sauces. The flavors pop pop pop with every chew. Amazing! Some of my favorites are the scallop sashimi (incredibly fresh every time), chili hamachi, uni (sea urchin-not for everyone) and always omakase roll or two. Also, if artichoke is in season I like the steamed one, a cup of chowder always hits the spot, pretty killer tempura, really great fish and chips and I know I'm missing a bunch of stuff but now I'm salivating and need to wrap this review up so I can drive over. I don't eat in the restaurant part so much but that's because I'm a total hound for the sushi. When I have it's always great. Don't skip dessert!

    We ate it so many nice restaurants and this was one of my favorite meals of our recent trip!…read more We started with the baked artichoke, then split three rolls (Fire cracker, Next best thing, Sunset) and had this incredible banana ice cream cake for dessert!!!! The rolls were incredible!!!! And the presentation was pretty:) our server was super sweet too! The views outside are so beautiful too to relax and enjoy drinks! This is gonna be a staple spot on all of our future Kauai trips!

A beautiful house dating back to the 1860's, it offers both inside and outside dining. We opted for outside with lots of greenery and an occasional crowing rooster nearby, but the inside dining room was lovely too. Our server, Martin, was friendly and attentive. Hubby ordered a Vintage Mai Tai which looked as good as it tasted. We shared an order of Crispy Brussels sprouts which was phenomenal: "7 spice Den- miso sauce, scallions and bubu-arare " creating a delicious and healthy dish. Hubby had the Swordish Milanese, a large portioned and beautifully prepared entree which he thoroughly enjoyed. I ordered the Campanelle Pasta, another delicious and big portioned meal with " Garlic-Caper Pecorino Crema, Pistachio, Aleppo and Lemon Zest", and took most of it home. The dessert menu looked great, but we had no room. Met the warm and hospitable owner, Joe, who welcomes his guests and was a pleasure to talk to. Also met Angel, the bartender, another fabulous employee. Please make sure to eat here: creative menu with outstanding food, and an exceptional bunch of employees to take care of you.

Everything tasted so fresh and flavorful. We ended with the Lappert's Kauai ice cream pie, sharing one piece, which is out of this world delicious. I would say that I'm really only giving 4.5 stars instead of 5 because for me this amount of food is very light, although my husband did better with the steak. If you're really hungry, the portions here can be very small. Other than that, it was a delightful dinner. The chef used to work at Nobu and it really tastes like it. We ate early at 5:00 because that's all that was open for a reservation, yet we were the only 2 people in the restaurant. That's also just a bit strange. I think dining here when it's dark and candlelit would be more romantic, but I enjoyed looking around at the little house and its design and the beautiful garden surrounding it while we waited for them to open. It's also interesting to read about the history of the house and its site (it's a carefully built replica of the old original house that was here in the 1860's built by a Chinese immigrant rice farmer. Anyway, very charming. I think I'll call next time to try to get a later dinner reservation. This was one of our favorites on the trip. Service, was , of course, fast and the waiter was really nice and friendly.

I went with the Garlic Butter Shrimp Plate. The shrimp doesn't come shelled which is fine as it just reminds me of when my dad and grandmother would make shrimp The garlic butter was so good and lived that it mixed into the rice. The greens were good as well. Only downfall when peeling the shrimp is that you are with happy cause it was worth it or you are disappointed. I'll tell you, it is well worth it cause you are rewarded with a buttery, tender piece of large shrimp. The food came a little slower than expected but you know it was made fresh! You know how the saying goes, "Good things come to those who wait!" When in Princeville, this is a place to go.

The shrimp had such a nice texture and flavor I could tell they were great quality. The spicy garlic sauce was definitely the best I've had. So much flavor and with just a bit of kick to complement the umami shrimp. I'll definitely be back the next time I'm in Kauai and will come earlier just in case they sell out!
