    The menu!  Go early, they run out of options!  Why?  Because they are fredh and delicious!
    Joe L.

    Patty was hankering for some poke, so we took the advice of both my Lonely Planet tourist book, and that of Francine at Hele on Kauai Bike Remtals, and made a stop at Leong's. The only option they had left was the spicy poke bowl. Patty ordered that delicacy atop sushi-style rice. She was more than delighted with her choice. If you like poke, you'd be a fool, yes I said fool, to not give Leong's a try.

    Service was super quick. Easily the most affordable poke we we've had on the island at $10 a plate for a regular size. It was a great stop for us in a convenient location and quick option as we were starving after a helicopter excursion. 10/10 would recommend. Poke was very fresh!

    Seriously fresh and delicious poke at prices we could not believe being from the Bay Area. They were out of the Grandmas and Mai so we ordered 2 Kamakazis (3 poke and choice of drizzle) so we could try the other 5 and all were delicious. I could not honestly tell you which was which since it was pouring, we were starving and we literally pulled over onto a local dirt road to snarf it in our filthy rental Jeep in under 5 minutes. $16 + $1.50 for half salad instead of all rice for one Kamikaze was INSANE for the amount of high quality poke we got, at home we'd get 1/3 of that if we were lucky. We made the mistake of getting there 20 mins before closing so they were sold out of 2 poke and they remove all the hot food (like pork) then, so we missed out on those. Next time we are going to be early birds so we can have it all!!

    Lau lau , Kailua pork, spicy tuna - all amazing!!

    Soooo good! My husband and I each got a Hawaiian plate. One w Kailua pork and spicy poke, the other with lau lau and shoyu pok. Everything was so good, especially the lau lau. We came back for another visit during the week and it was just as good. Plus they are super friendly and helpful with suggestions. This will be a go to stop any time in the area!

    This was the first poke spot we tried. It was the best poke we had on Kauai. They gave generous portions and for a good price

    I recommend this poke place overall. Service was quick and poke seasonings were creative and light. If you are looking for poke with light seasonings instead of the heavy handed soy sauce or goopy spicy mayo, this place is for you. For example, the grandma's special is good, with ginger and fresh cilantro! The poke also comes with a side sauce that you pick, I picked the wasabi mayo. The best poke I ever tasted still remains the maguro brothers on Oahu!

    Kalua Pork, side of salmon poke with spicy sauce, sides of rice and a salmon salsa.

    Don't let the shacky appearance of the place fool you; they have great food, especially on the meaty side (hence the name), excellent pokè, and they'll get it to you pronto. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The parking lot, if you can call it that, looks worse for wear, and there are 8 picnic tables where you can sit, half of them with umbrellas (needed for both sun and rain).[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] But people don't come here for the ambiance! I got the Pork Laulau, which was pork baked in taro leaves, served with rice, salmon salsa, and a side of pokè: I got salmon with spicy sauce. It was so yummy! My dad got the Kalua Pork plate, which is pulled pork, which was also quite tasty. He and I split a side of kimchi cucumbers, which we enjoyed. My mom got the stir-fried chicken. She said the chicken was great, but that the vegetables had obviously been stir fried much earlier in the day so were a little droopy. All-in-all a great place and well worth the visit. Vegetarians not welcome. ;)

    Kalua pork had a good flavor!
    Ruby B.

    Delicious find in Kapaa! We stopped by during our drive to Hanalei based on the great Yelp reviews. We ordered the poké, a musubi and the kalua pig. The poke was fantastic and so very fresh tasting! WOW! Simple ingredients but absolutely delicious. My family enjoyed the kalua pig dish (tender and flavorful), but said the musubi was missing a sauce that's normally an ingredient in most musubis. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's a cute walk-up shack to get food to go and they have picnic tables with umbrellas to enjoy your food.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The service was friendly and nice from the young gal taking orders. It was a great find for us!

    Mini laulau

    Very good lau lau. Not too salty, wish I had hot sauce. Very generous portion of pork and taro leaves. The mini was great, the poke had too much sinew :( Would go again in a heart beat

    Katie H.

    KAMAKAZI BOWL for the win. THREE hefty servings of poke for under $20. I tried the Maui onion, grandmas, and the spicy poke. They were all delicious. This is a great spot with fresh fish for an affordable price that will keep you full all day. Must stop by if you are in the area! Staff was super friendly too!

    BRAH this place is ACTION!!! Let me tell you! If you want some bomb a$$ poke on Kaua'i PLEASE come show aloha to this place!!! It's a small place but not that easy to miss, There's lots of parking, they have some benches outside but no tables, which is fine cause with this heat, you gonna be wanting to eat in the AC of your car lol. They have coke products and juice for drinks. FOOD: The laulau is PERFECT. Salted perfectly and super moist. I loved the poke, honestly it doesn't even matter which flavor you get because all of it is MAIKA'I! So ono!!! Definitely gonna be one of the spots to add to your Kapa'a list! I'll be a forever customer! Mahalo guys for the excellent service and ono food!

    This poke is superior! I highly recommend Leong's to anyone looking for great tasting and quality poke in Kapaa.

    Jay H.

    Wow, got some of the best poke around. Pulled up and was greeted by two of the nicest people. [[HIGHLIGHT]]They have outdoor seating with umbrellas to keep you cool.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The poke is legit and so tasty. Also got the chili which was delicious. They even threw in a free lau lau. Overall, it was a great place to get a bite.

    I spotted Chicken Long Rice on a menu picture. Do they serve it daily and can you buy it à la carte?

    Are they able to offer gluten free options? Choices for sauce sans soy sauce?

    Yes all but one (Shoyu Ahi) is gluten free.

    If you're visiting Kauai and looking for a local lunch spot, Pono Market is a must…read more We stopped in for lunch and ordered a little bit of everything: pork lau lau (which was a hit with my toddler, no less!), a couple of different poke options, and a plate with karaage and poke. I can't remember exactly which poke varieties we got, but I believe one was their shoyu poke and the other was a spicy ahi. Regardless, everything we ordered was absolutely delicious. This is exactly the kind of mom-and-pop spot I love finding while traveling. No frills, just friendly people serving great food at reasonable prices. The poke was fresh, the karaage was flavorful, and the lau lau was tender and comforting. The staff was welcoming, the portions were generous, and the prices were fair, especially considering the quality of the food. There are plenty of places to eat on Kauai, but spots like this are what make a trip memorable. We'll definitely be back the next time we're on the island.

And take it, somewhere else, to eat. No tables or seats, in this market. We ate ours, in the car, before heading to the airport. It was delicious, really fresh. Opens at 6am, so has that "We just caught this" feel. And not as "Pricey" as some Yelp Reviewers claimed it to be.

Popular menu items include ahi katsu 10/10, chili pepper chicken 9/10, and Hawaii's own- loco moco (not a huge fan in general). They offer a variety of other options, including poke, ramen, and sandwiches, with convenient takeout and delivery available. It's definitely a local favorite due to its generous portions, authentic Hawaiian cuisine and friendly service. We ordered the fried chicken and poke combo with wonton chips and the ahi katsu (my absolute fav). The ahi was fried to perfection- crispy on the outside while rare and tender on the inside. The sauce on the katsu was absolutely fire!!! So good! Macaroni salad was creamy and delicious. And the rice was perfect. Obviously, you cannot visit Hawaii without having some of their poke- always fresh and delightfully tasty. The marinade was savory and packed with flavor.

    First time to Kaua'i and I'm looking for some local eats. From the reviews I've read, this seems to…read morebe a popular place. GETTING THERE: It was extremely easy to find. Its right off a main road and you cannot miss it. Parking lot was a bit small, but there was plenty of parking. AMBIANCE: When I went there was plenty of seating. A bit dead, but I also did go pretty early. There were a bunch of decor of older American pop culture like Bruce Lee, Chuck Norris, etc. But also Hawaiian themed decor (obviously). SERVICE: You gotta walk up to the front to order. I was approached almost immediately as soon as I walked up to the menu on the screen. The girl working was super friendly and welcoming. I made my order and she gave me a pager for when my food was ready. FOOD: I ordered the chili pepper chicken, which was recommended from the girl at the counter. My friend ordered the ahi katsu. The chili pepper chicken was good! It was crispy and extremely flavorful. It was slightly too salty for my taste, but luckily the rice does help balance it out. Some of the crispness was sacrificed for the sauce, but it was overall still pretty crispy. I loved that they used boneless chicken thigh. I was expecting bones or lots of breading but it actually had a perfect ratio. I wasn't much a fan of the mac salad. It was like a mix of mac and potato salad, but more like a potato salad. I'm not big on potato salad, so that makes sense. My friend's ahi katsu was alright in my opinion. The sauce that's on it was good and enjoyed all the flavors. The tuna was just a bit overcooked to my liking, but idk how else one would make a katsu without overlooking it too much. Maybe bread the fish and freeze it before frying? Idk man, I'm not a chef lol but the tuna would definitely be better if it was less cooked. OVERALL: Honestly, I would still come here again. I still enjoyed the meal and the service was pretty quick. Both items were both worth trying. All the flavors were there and the little things I didn't like were just personal preferences. Its a great place to pick up a lunch plate and enjoy it at the beach.
