Hurricane salmon with brown rice
Con C.

Best poke bowl on the island! Favorite is the hamachi and hurricane salmon. Side choices are limited but generous portions from friendly Uncle behind the counter. So good we always make it a point to come. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Within a grocery store but there's some tables to sit and eat.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

Couldn't resist Love this!  Not at the market, but close

This is an amazing market with a great variety of food and drink product, and an array of merchandise. [[HIGHLIGHT]]If is super clean, well organized and although somewhat pricey, not bad for the quality.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I would readily shop here anytime. [[HIGHLIGHT]]They have a prepared food counter with a good selection with both indoor and outdoor seating.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I was very interested in trying a poke bowl but the servings were diminishing rapidly with a lunch crowd. They are customized to a number of ingredients on top of the main fish selection. As an alternative we chose to get packaged sushi. It was very fresh and well prepared. We were quite pleased. To have a drink we got flavored coconut water, mine with ppineapple which was a perfect accompaniment. It was a perfect meal. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We sat outdoors in the covered lanai and the breeze was wonderful.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

This place is great value, a very sizable bowl of poke of high quality (enough to feed 1.5 persons or 1 very hungry person). I got the salmon poke which was excellent. I got it with sauce but personally it would have been plenty delicious (and a little less salty) without it. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Market is very clean, reminds me of a Sprouts but way nicer.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The man serving me was also very friendly! Would definitely come back here again.

The store is clean and well organized and lots of items to choose from. Visiting from Oahu I was very surprised at how much more the items in the store compared in price. Pricing was more than double compared to Honolulu. But everything no mater were you go it higher in price. It is part of the Foodland chain that we have on Oahu.

I happened to be staying in Princeville for a few days and stopped by this market in Kilauea to grab some dinner. I wasn't sure what to expect as it said "market + cafe", but it was exactly just that... a full-service grocery store with a café attached to it that serves coffee, beer, wine, as well as fresh prepared foods and made-to-order specialties for lunch and dinner! Their lunch/dinner menu had a little bit of everything on there - from appetizers, salads and pizzas to local plate lunches, burgers, sandwiches and even desserts! I decided to try their Pulehu Short Ribs for dinner, which is described as: Pulehu Seasoned, Chimichurri & Pickled Onions for $20.99. I'm very picky when it comes to pulehu and I must say that for a market/deli cafe, they nailed it! The short ribs were so flavorful and it was a very generous portion! It also came with rice and mac salad, because as you know that's a given when it comes to local dishes! I washed my meal down with a local beer, and was happy to see that all 4 of their draft beers were from local breweries. The service here was spectacular. It was basically one guy running the show, and he was super friendly to both the regular customers and the newbies like me. They had plenty of inside seating available, so you can enjoy your meal there. I can't comment on the grocery section as I didn't purchase anything there, but they seemed to have a lot of gourmet type of items. If you're on the north shore in Kauai, it's definitely worth checking out!

Poke bowl w brown rice, seaweed salad, cabbage, ahi poke.

We came here a little bit after noon earlier this week and many of the poke selections were limited. Even so, we both enjoyed our poke bowls w delicious fresh ahi. Before leaving the island, we made time to stop in earlier in the day to catch the full poke selections. This time we enjoyed a full array of sides to accompany our bowl and six or so poke options. Again, the server generously adorned our bowls w over half a pound of poke for a reasonable price of $15ish. We also like their outside seating. Great spot!

10/19/22 Before heading to our condo, we needed salad dressing for the organic greens I purchased. I figured this place would have some, in packets, not a whole bottle. Yelp listed it closes at 7 pm but as I walked in at 5:53, the employee at the door (I thought he was there to welcome customers lol) said they're closing in 7 minutes. So I inquired where the salad dressings are & headed that way as I started snapping photos. Found it, granted, it's just two selections, blue cheese and Caesar salad dressing in packets at 99 cents each. Employees wore masks (I think they're the only ones who wore any this entire visit, who are workers) and are friendly. It's a small market but everything looked neat & cleanly organized, produce/products are fresh looking. It looks like a Sprouts or Wholefoods but smaller scale. Perhaps next time I'll check out their cafe.

I love everything about this place!! I love grocery shopping and if I lived here, this would be my market. 1. Great selection for snacks and ready-to-eat meals. We bought the Italian bistro box and the arugula pesto was SO yummy. 2. The deli!!! I loved my poke bowl and at such a great price. Add garlic as a topping! 3. Kubano sandwich. My bf thought this was his favorite meal. He even loved it eaten cold 2 days later. 4. Susan! She works at the deli. She was so friendly and one of our favorite locals to talk to.

This was a great place to try out for lunch. We got the special and it was delicious. We also got poke inside the market right next to the market. Nice sitting area in the cafe. The people are nice Nd helpful. Parking can get slightly crowded during lunch hours. I would definitely come back here when I visit this island again.

Cute little market with all your basics plus a little. Definitely expect island prices mixed with tourist prices at this market.

Prepare to be FULL. The turn off is pretty nondescript, but the spot is tucked away across the road…read morefrom the Whalers General Store. The views are spectacular, being surrounded by nature. When I went there even happened to be some live music. It made for a lovely family friendly ambiance I got the "Next Level" bowl with additional soursop - Pros: way more filling than I expected. The peanut butter and coconut chunks definitely added heft. I loved the texture of the coconut chunks that added a chunky bite, whereas the granola added a light crisp. The textures were really fun to eat. The açai base wasn't overly sweet - Cons: aside from banana, any other fruit is additional $2.50, which is pretty pricey. In total, my bowl came to $20. It was unfortunate that the soursop wasn't fruit chunks, but instead a puree In addition to the standard menu, today they had a special bowl with assorted fruit on top, yum. No full service washrooms on site, only porta potty

We stopped here in our way back to the hotel. It's right off the highway so it's very easy to miss…read moreif you're not looking out for it. The portion sizes are very large and shareable. I got the King Kong and there was a ton of toppings for an acai bowl. We had a large party so it did take some time for the shaved iced but the acai bowls were served quickly. I recommend getting the acai bowls over the shaved iced. There are better shave ice places on the island. There are a ton of benches as well to eat!!

The French toast is no joke! Amazing, spectacular, killah lol all the adjectives!…read more Pastries and coffee were 100 too We went after an early morning swim and there was no wait but shortly after (about 8) it got busy! But worth any wait, I promise

Came to Kauai on a day trip mainly to try out their breakfast food…read more PROS Portions are enormous, so I feel like the price tag isn't too bad. Definitely consider sharing their entrees with another person. We ordered the Churro French Toast and Breakfast Burrito and they were both delicious, but way too big of a portion for one person. Neither of us could finish our food. CONS Barely any seating area inside. There are a few outdoor tables to sit at in the parking lot, but they fill up pretty quickly. We found more success going across the street inside Ching Young Village (the shopping center nearby). This place gets busy, so be prepared to wait. Parking is limited in the actual building and most of them were on a bit of an incline, but Ching Young Village also had several open stalls. While it was delicious, I wish the Churro French Toast tasted more like french toast and less like malasadas. We got the full portion and it was basically like eating 4 malasadas and two scoops of whipped cream cheese frosting. A little too indulgent for a breakfast for our tastes. TIPS Arrive early. We got here at 8:30am on a Saturday and still had to wait over half an hour for our food. Order from the mobile kiosk since it's a shorter line and plan to share with others in your party. Parking and indoor seating is limited, so I recommend ordering your food and then driving across the street to Ching Young Village to eat in one of their outdoor tables.
