I've been to Kauai tons of times but why only this recent visit I stopped here, something is wrong with me?! hehe. I happen to search lunch stops on Instagram and came across Lawai'a, I actually made 2 stops, the day before and the day of flight. Cute little store, very popular and busy parking lot. Lawai'a Fish Co. reminds me of Tanioka's back on Oahu. This business got so much seafood goodies along with snacks, desserts, Wow! One stop shop for everything! I also saw a post for cheap eats and had to see it for myself, hehe, the table in front has pre-packaged bento and I spot one that was $6. hard to believe nowdays. I didn't get the plate lunch which looks good too or the poke variety, we had lunch plans so first visit was spicy poke for the other half to try, the tofu poke, and $6. bento of fried ahi limu for me. I am not a fan of poke and don't eat anything raw, so jealous of my hubby and kids to love it so much! I was happy that hey have a fried ahi bento available for only $6. We/I really enjoyed bento, hubby mentioned the spicy ahi was great and that tofu poke salad, WOW. I loved the taste, comes with tofu, sea asparagus, and onion, so GOOD! I stopped by the next day to grab 2 containers of the tofu poke and the ginger fried poke $6. bento. This place is a GEM for sure, very busy, I cannot wait to be back!! read more

Loved loved the poke here! We stopped by on the way to our airport at the end of our vacation on Kauai and luckily we did as it was my favorite poke spot we tried. First, loved how local it feels and they sell a variety of poke, bento, cooked plates and even desserts! They also sell whole fish so you know the poke is fresh. I grabbed a pick 2 fish bowl with yuzu hamachi and chili garlic ahi. Loved the hamachi with was dressed with sea asparagus for a nice savoriness. You don't see hamachi poke often but it's one of my favorite types of sushi. Chili ahi was good as well and definitely had a kick. We also wanted to try tako (octopus) and got the kimchi tako which was nice and tender. Surprisingly the kimchi was pretty spicy too. Overall great spot for poke and I'll definitely need to come back if I'm in Kauai in the future. I'm still thinking about the hamachi poke a couple weeks ago. read more

Amazing Poke place where locals go. This place was recommended by the staff at our hotel. We ventured into the industrial part near the freeway. When we got there, there was a line of 20 guests. We tried the sesame ahi and the da crazy Asian ahi. Sat outside and dined with the roosters. Food was amazing and definitely worth coming back for more. Thank you for a wonderful island poke experience read more

We have friends who work here and have told us how good this is for awhile. Finally was here without plans and was able to come here! Great decision! Its mainly a poke, fish and plate lunch place. They have pre-made grab and go bento boxes available, fish for sale, and a large counter of poke and other cold foods. They also have hot plate lunch specials daily. When I arrived, I think I was the only non local person here. Many construction workers eating outside and a lot of office workers were inside in line on lunch break. They have a large selection of pokes and a good selection for plate lunch. My wife had a poke bowl with rice and salad, shoyu ahi with crispy onions, and other toppings. I had the garlic chicken plate lunch. Omg - as good as any chicken on the island. The potato mac salad was delicious- had a good amount of black pepper in it. I loved it. I also got some small tubs of Poke, Spicy Ahi, and Chili Pepper Ahi. Both were amazing! The staff were super helpful friendly and hard working. They moved a lot of people through line quickly. Great place. If you're local, im sure you already know. If you're on vacation, they are definitely worth coming to! So good! R read more

So at the job site we was working at the manger bought us food from here so I'm not to sure how the service was or how the place looked but I will say I was kind of disappointed in the lau lau which was dry. But the poke on the other hand was delicious so I would definitely go back to try some different poke and other things they have on the menu other than that this is all I can write for now. K bye read more

Lawai'a Fish Co. - Laulau spicy poke. - Seafood Near Me - Lihue, Hawaii

Love Lawai'a! Great ahi steaks here, as well as other fish on the basis of what has been caught. Also great prepared meals also! Lunch time is very busy as many stop by for their excellent prepared food. We love the ahi which we take home to make our own poke bowls. Very friendly staff. If you are just buying ahi or other steaks from one of their display refrigerators, you can jump ahead of those in line for prepared food. They are located in an industrial park, and parking is limited. Most get their food and take it elsewhere (the beach, a park, home, back to work, etc.). There are some picnic tables out front. You choose where to dine. Highly recommended! read more

We wanted to buy some fresh fish to grill and after asking around we were told this was a good place to buy it for ourselves. It is in an industrial area and it was tough to find parking and this was a very popular place. After finding parking we found some decent prices for the fresh fish. This is the place for fresh fish. They also had this amazing looking dessert called Pumpkin Crunch. read more

This fish market opens at 6:30 AM which is perfect for those who need to be up early to go to the airport. The spicy salmon is good, big chucks of salmon. I did half greens and half rice. The greens were a bit bitter. This poke is a bit more saucy so recommend the sauces on the side if you don't like too much sauce. The max salad here isn't up to my quality of Mac salad so I would skip on that. read more

Food: Poke Nachos Price: $15.99 Overall: I had a layover in Lihue and I searched up on TikTok to see if they have a poke spot and this spot popped up. We came in and they had on the go items, fish, and desserts like strawberry cheesecake. After all the poke bowls, we shared the poke nachos and chose the chili garlic ahi and da crazy Asian ahi. I really enjoyed the da crazy Asian ahi because there is papaya in it. The workers were really nice and the poke flavors that we tried are all delicious! *This poke spot does give out samples* read more

Favorite stop after the airport! Tons of poke options, everything is delicious! Also a small hot food section for anyone not a poke fan. Fried chicken was nice and crispy, more salty than sweet if that is what you are expecting for garlic chicken. The dips seemed to be popular so we got the guava smoked marlin dip, AMAZING! Texture is a little stringy as is marlin but so good with some shrimp chips or taro chips. They also give you ritz crackers but we had chips we wanted to finish. A few benches outside if the weather is agreeing with you, but don't miss out on this place! Also a few desserts available but we were too full to try! read more

Poke is amazing as is the view! A hidden gem! This has made our list as one of our "must go to" eateries when on island!

One of our favorite poke spots in Kauai! We just finished doing the Rum Safari and were looking for some lunch before heading to the beach. The Rum Safari recommended we try this spot and we're so glad we did! The staff were so friendly and let us sample some of the poke before deciding what we wanted. The fish was so fresh and delicious you can't go wrong with any flavor. We just tried the poke but everything in there looked so good, they even had some great grab and go snacks. We're glad we got to try this spot and thankful for the recommendation! read more

We both ordered poke bowls but they don't really have toppings and I don't think it's anywhere we would go back to K also glad they see it all he from the refrigerator grab and go and it was pretty good Service was nice The atmosphere was basic. Nothing special. An in and out type of place read more

We stopped here for lunch during our trip to Kauai and found this little spot was tucked away in an industrial area. My husband loves poke and the amount of fresh options you find when you walk in the door is amazing. I chose the spicy option over rice with crispy topping. We ate our poke bowls outside at their picnic tables surrounded by chickens of course. Everything tasted great and fueled us up for the rest of the day. read more

Wow! This has to be one of my favorite poke spots ever. I got the spicy ahi and the chili garlic ahi and both are 10/10. The best part? They don't charge for toppings like most places do!! I also saw everyone was grabbing the guava marlin dip so thought I should try it out too and I was so glad I did! The did was so good and fresh and want to come back here everyday of my next visit to Kauai. Will definitely be back! read more

This was my last meal in Kauia! I wish I had it sooner. We tried a few poke spots already but that did not stop my cravings. I tried a few times throughout the week, either it was closed or I was already stuffed from eating all day. Anyways, super fresh. Highly recommend. Did not know what to choose so they had an option called the threesome which was combination of tuna, salmon, and hamachi. Such a good choice because it didn't count towards your two choices of fish. I paired it with spicy ahi. Fire... loved every bite. I also ordered spicy salmon on the side also. Buttery, melt in your mouth type of bites. No complaints here, would recommend everyone to come by. Overall, happy that I came here and made sure I didn't leave without trying this spot! read more

Went here hungrily for the first meal upon landing during summer trip to Kauai, since so close to the airport! Tried the spicy ahi and the garlic chili ahi in the poke bowl. - Spicy ahi was very good, definitely go for this. - Garlic chili was way too spicy for me, unless you can handle super spicy don't go near this. - Rice was regular hot rice, failed to elevate the poke bowl experience like cooled sushi rice does for many places. Also got some of the smoked marlin I read rave reviews about. It was way too salty and some pieces way too chewy and tough. It was a chore to force myself to eat it since family did not touch it after trying... read more

Besides having the freshest ahi on the island that I've found in my many Kauai visits, they are all incredible people who embody and steward the Aloha spirit. Thank you all for your kindness and help when stranded . You all have a first class ticket to heaven! Mahalo and see you on my way back to the airport today! read more

We came by here multiple times on our trip and this is definitely a must visit spot to eat or pick up something for later. There is some parking in front but if it's busy, you might have to park on the street. It's honestly a small hole in the wall and he will never guess that's such a good fish come from this little mart. Once you get inside, you can get online and take a look at the menu. They also have a variety of selections and dips and sides in the refrigerators to the left. Once you get to the front, they have a whole fridge section of different fish, poke, and meats to select from. Honestly, I would try anything hair. You also can sample whatever poke you might be interested in. It may be a little pricier, but for Kauai and the quality of food you're getting it's definitely worth it. Can't wait to bookmark this place and come back next time! read more

This is such a treasure. After an unexpected day spent stuck at the airport, I surprised my family with a trip to this restaurant. The locals I talked to at the airport recommended it, especially the friendly security worker. We loved it so much that I had to bring him back some ube bars to thank him for the recommendation. It's a great place to pick up delicious meals and treats. read more

We stopped here after landing and got a poke bowl, and their mixes (taegu-like mix). Their fish is super fresh with good seasoning. Their mix is pretty unique and had a mix of taegu, baby dried shrimp and cuddlefish which was sooo good. They have some dips for sale with ritz crackers you can buy at the cashier for a dollar. They have a couple tables out in the front if you wanted to eat there. read more
