Tonight we enjoyed a delicious dinner at Lilikoi Bar & Grill. We ordered: - Coconut shrimp & a Li Hing Mui Margarita - Cubana pork/ham sandwich & beer - Ahi tuna sandwich & ice tea Both sandwiches arrived with super crispy, crunchy fries. Yum. We heard their patisserie selections are so popular crowds form before they open every day. Dinner portions were so generous we had no room for cream puffs, creme brûlée, Napoleon bars, or meringue cookies. So difficult to pass up. We'll have to come back. Exceptional friendly and efficient service. Although the restaurant is across the highway from the ocean, our table afforded a view to the ocean. read more

We ate dinner the 1st night of our trip, because we have eaten before with good food and service. The staff is very good, friendly and work together to take care everyone. Lilikoi became breakfast place the restof the week. The pull pork Benedict is very good. The meals are good size in filling you up for the day. The pastries are made there. I got the lemon tart. It was delicious! You know and place is good when the locals eat there. My wife and I ate here on getaway day knowing we didn't have to stress about rushing to the airport. We will be back when we return to the area. read more

It was our last day on Kauai and we needed to check out of our room by 10:00. With a 21:30 flight, we had a lot of time to kill, so decided to go back to the Harbor mall to find a place to eat. We ended up choosing Lilikoi Bar and Grill on a late Sunday morning. The service was OK, with the food being OK. The restaurant is located on the 2nd floor of the mall, and was fairly hopping when we stopped in. We got lucky and got assigned a window table. The food as a whole was OK, with tourist prices. The Kalua Pork Sandwich ($20) was served on buttered texas toast and came with deeply battered french fries. The strawberry milk shake ($9) was not good: tasted ice in it which didn't make sense since it was marketed as a MILK shake. The edamame appetizer ($11) was a good beginning and we used that as our base. I got a bowl of the seafood chowder ($16) and it was a generous amount, very thick with plenty of clam and fish pieces, and it tasted good. Service was OK and we paid at the table using our credit card (no credit card surcharge here). read more

Love the breakfast here! took my family here for brunch for the first time and my granddaughter ordered everything UBE that they had and loved it. (and she took home a small UBE cheesecake) They are also dog friendly so I bring our pup whenever I can and they do give local discounts to residents which is always appreciated. My son got their signature burger while we got breakfast and raved about that too. read more

I wasn't expecting much because of the low rating but omg the double loco moco was basically two loco moco orders on one plate for less than two times the cost of one. Shared it with my husband thinking we were being smart about tummy space but oh boy wild portion size. It was so delicious too. I really liked the open concept and being able to look out to the ocean from the second floor. Even caught sight of other restaurants to try service is fast and the guy was so nice and chill! He made me feel like my cheesecake decision was the best ever. read more

I think my favorite loco moco on the island. Very much a no frills diner, fast service, and great food. Located in an outdoor mall surrounded by a bunch of businesses, shops, and bar. Across from here is a beach and outdoor activities, so you can definitely start your day here and explore the surrounding area for the day. read more

Trended by a friend. Cool looking bar , but we were her before noon lol Had the furikake crusted ahi burger, without the wasabi aioli, and it was delicious. Great view of the ocean, and screens up so fantastic ocean breezes and birds! Server was friendly but not really attentive, otherwise this place would have had a 5.

Saturday, 8/2/2025 - we stopped by Lilikoi Bar & Grill in the Harbor Mall. Address is 3501 Rice St #2009, Lihue, HI 96766. This restaurant on the 2nd floor. We hostess was very nice and seated us right away. We got to sit by the open window with a nice view to the ocean. We can see people surfing. Upon arrival... Pros 1) restaurant is in a small mall. So when we arrived, we going parking right away. There is a small parking lot here. 2) the hostess and staffs were very nice. 3) water tasted great. No funky or weird taste. They do provide sluces of lemon if you ask for it. 4) we ordered coconut shrimp ($16), Lilikoi Burger ($24), and Kauai Poke Bowl ($19). Coconut shrimp and burger were great. Poke bowl wasn't that good, sadly. We also got the Ube Cheesecake for $11. Tasted great! 5) tables, chairs, utensils, plates, cups were all clean. 6) lots of desserts to choose from. You can see them right when you walk in. 7) bathroom was clean. Two stalls in the women's bathroom. Cons 1) we had to search for a staff to ask for water refill. 2) when server brought us our main meal, they didn't take the empty, dirty plates away or see that our water cups were empty and refill it. 3) Conclusion We like this little spot. Nice staffs. Great view. Lots of other little stores in this mini mall to check out after you eat. Clean restaurant. Good foods. Easy parking (at least for us this time). Try this spot if you haven't yet or when you're in Kauai. :) read more

Great food l! Highly recommended, the waiter was super nice and the food was really good. We had the tacos.

We had a party of 25 and the staff is so helpful and service was incredible. The menu is creative and chives are numerous. Drinks are awesome from mocktails to cocktails. Enjoyed the ambiance and awesome scenery. read more

We went here for dinner as it had a gluten free option for one of our group. The service was fast and friendly. Everyone liked their food. I had the Mac nut pesto penne and it was good for what it was but wasn't my favorite. That's on me. There was a game on and some locals watching it and so the sports bar vibe where we sat but didn't bother us at all. Drinks were good. read more

Update 5/25/25 Lilikoi's bar and grill is a very decent restaurant to grab breakfast, lunch, or dinner. We mostly visit Liliko's for breakfast. The ambiance is chic and tropical with partial views of Nawiliwili Bay. The service has always been great when we visit. The servers are friendly and helpful. The food served is prepared to your liking. The food quality has been consistently good every time we have dinned at Lilikoi's. I recommend giving Lilikoi Bar & Grill a visit for Breakfast,lunch or dinner. read more

Great casual open air spot with a second floor view! Seafood chowder - nice thick House-made soup fresh with clams, shrimp, fish and potatoes. Hearty and delicious! 5 stars! Tropical Waldorf Salad - fresh Organic mixed greens tossed with house-made lilikoi dressing, diced tomato, fresh pineapple, macadamia nuts, and blue cheese. We had this twice and the first time was amazing with TONS of Mac nuts and blue cheese and the second time not so much. Still a tasty salad nonetheless. 5 stars. Mango BBQ ribs - Four tasty sweet and sticky moist ribs. Couldn't tell there was any mango, just tasted like plain ol BBQ sauce. Solid dish! 5 stars. Crispy Brussel sprouts - fried Brussel sprouts with a fig balsamic glaze and topped with macadamia nuts. We loved this dish! 5 stars! Macadamia crusted opakapaka - firm white fish with light lilikoi cream sauce and sauteed carrots, zucchini and broccoli. We subbed mashed potatoes, which turned out to be questionable since they were a tad sour. We had mash another time and they were fine 4.5 stars. Kids Mac and cheese - not house-made, but a few steps above Kraft. Since the kiddo ate the entire plate, 4 stars. Food came quickly and everything tasted fresh. Great restaurant for the fam! read more

3.5 but will round up to 4. And stopped here real fast before catching our flight out. The servers were nice and the food was decent. Mac nut pancakes - 4.5/5 Basic breakfast - 3/5 Ahi Benedict - 2/5 Breakfast sandwich - looked like. 3.5 It was breezy which was nice and they were accommodating for a baby. A fun vibe right across from a good beach (Kalapaki). read more

I can only rate this restaurant based on a takeout order. The person who helped me seemed to be on her lunch break, as she was still eating while taking my order. I ordered the Loco Moco, which I'd been craving ever since landing in Lihue. The wait time was about 25 minutes (a bit longer than expected) but the mall had plenty of spots to explore while I waited. As for the Loco Moco, it was just okay. Not as flavorful as I'd hoped, It filled the void, but didn't steal my heart. Still searching for my go-to Loco Moco on the island. read more

We stopped here for dinner because I was craving Loco Moco and this was the closest stop to our hotel that served it. We opted to get the double patty so my husband could also have some, the Cuban sandwich, kids dish and chips and an order of calamari. The kids fish and chips and calamari came first. The fish and chips were flaky, crispy and fresh. The kids portion comes with two large pieces and plenty of crispy fries to munch on. The calamari comes with rings and tentacle pieces and a warm marinara sauce that is nicely flavored. The calamari itself was ok, a bit chewy and stringy in some of them, but not terrible by any means. The main events followed quickly after (food arrives quickly here which is great if you're hungry!) and the portions were large and at the perfect temperature. The Loco Moco double comes with two quarter pounders, two fried eggs and two mounds of white rice all smothered in mushroom gravy topped with fried onions. The fried onions were a nice surprise and added a lot of flavor and needed crunch. The gravy had a good flavor but there was some type of drizzle mixed in that was a bit sweet and off putting that I could have done without. The egg yolk was already busted on one of the eggs but not a deal breaker overall. The hamburger patty was seasoned nicely and had a nice crust on them which worked well even when smothered in gravy. The Cuban sandwich was loaded with mustard and pickles, Kalua pork and ham slices. The ham was smoked lunch meat and not our favorite but without it the sandwich tasted amazing. The pork was juicy and full of flavor and the baguette was the perfect vehicle for the sandwich. Overall a great meal, great service and we grabbed two desserts to go as well (strawberry cheesecake and a Mac nut Kouign Amann). The cheesecake was not very fresh and you could tell by the fresh strawberries mixed into the cake and the one on top but the flavor was still good. The macadamia nut Kouign Amann lacked that sugary crust on the traditional pastry and the Mac nuts did not add much to the flavor or texture although they had been toasted. Unfortunately both desserts I would pass on next time. read more

Service: We had a great experience while we ate here for dinner on one of our evenings in Kauai. We were served by TJ and he was so kind and helpful. Ask for him by name. Ambience: It has a cute ambience about it -- very island. If you like that you'll love it. Food: The food menu is quite extensive from pastas, to steak, to fish, to some native things. My two boys and me had the Loco Moco (we heard it was good here) and my wife got Fish and Chips. - Loco Moco: When we visit each island and on each trip I make it a point to have Loco Moco at each visit. I have to say this Loco Moco at Lilikoi is IN MY TOP TWO of all times -- maybe the best one. It's a must try....see pic. It has a 1lb burger, crispy onions and rice, and the gravy has a little sweet soy that makes it pop! - Fish and Chips: My wife finished the fish which she doesn't ever do and I tried the chips and they were good! We will be visiting here again! read more

We had a great experience here. Jesse was our server and he was so fun! We had the fresh mahi sandwich with lemon aioli, I love mahi but sometimes hesitate because it can be dry. This was grilled to perfection. Mahi tacos also great. Coconut shrimp had so much coconut and not oily. Our friend had kalua pork nachos and those were really good also. read more

My number 1 go to spot for fish and chips. By far best on island and better than anywhere back home. Mahi Mahi fish cooked perfect with great fries. We start our 2 week trip at Lilikoi Bar and Grill and our last night end at the same. Five years in a row and never disappointed. Service is exceptional and views to die for. I am obviously hooked. Great job read more

our server was super sweet and recommended the mango stuffed french toast over the mac nut pancakes we originally came for. she also recommended the pipikaula omelette which we got! mango stuffed french toast was fire. some mangos weren't super ripe, so that brought the dish down to an 8.5/10. perfectly deep fried! the inside was still so soft, and there was a layer of cream and mangos in the inside as well. pipikaula omelette was really good too - 9/10. the beef was really yummy and the jalapeño cream sauce was great. the jalapeños were spicy but so good! read more

The waitress this morning brought me my coffee and brought me my check almost simultaneously.. wasn't friendly, I asked her for a cheese danish and she said there was none.. I was staring at them in the display.. I ordered coffee and a danish.. the restaurant wasn't even half full to assume she was rushed... a side note. Last night we were at the bar and service was GREAT! So just sit at the bar when you visit! :) read more

This is a simple relaxed place to eat that is an easy 5-10 minute walk across from the Marriott Kauai Beach Club villas and Royal Sonesta hotel. The menu is diverse enough for everyone to enjoy. We had the Veggie Burger with fries and Fish & Chips. The fish did not taste seasoned before frying but my wife doesn't use malt vinegar. The Veggie Burger and the fries were fine. read more

The food here is delicious. I ate the mahi mahi grilled fish tacos, and they were so good I would definitely come back. The homemade ranch here is to die for, so yummy. If you're wondering, there are kids menus that you can see in person. Our server was very kind and interactive with my 1 year old brother. He checked in on us every now and then and was overall very good at his job. The whole restaurant is open and the view from the seating area is just beautiful! You can see the green mountains and blue water. I will definitely come back here on my next trip to Kauai. read more

Food is good, portion sizes are great and reasonably priced! We go every now and then and have had a great experience each time!

Do not recommend! My bill was $25.13. I gave my waiter a $10 and a $20. He then asked me if I wanted my change back, which I replied "yes". My change came back as $4 and 0 cents. I asked him where was the change? He told me "We do not have any change" probably a lie. I asked him why did he not tell me up front instead of dropping off my $4 and leaving quickly. He did not have a response but he offered me a 5 dollar bill for the 4 singles, which I took. I then asked to speak to a manager about this and he told me he was the floor manager. I figured he was lying to me again so I just left the check folder empty on the table and walked out of the place to not escalate the situation. He then decided to follow me out of the restaurant asking me for a tip. I told him "I would not give him one because he tried to steal from me". He then tried to argue with me about the service. his service was minimal, I had a water, a black coffee and a Loco Moco with no refills on the drinks, not that it matters after he tried to steal from me. As a side note; I come to Lihue at least 12 times a year on average for work. I would always come to Lillikoi cafe on most trips. Before this incident I had a situation with a very rare chicken wing. They were not very apologetic about it but they fixed the situation so I let it be. I will not be returning and i will share my story to the many people I know who come to Lihue. Just know that trying to advantage of a "tourist" is going to cost you more in sales in the future. read more

Used to enjoy the food here. They changed the menu. I ordered chicken tacos. How can you mess those up? By using unflavored, boiled chicken chunks, and an awful garlic aioli! Terrible. Waitress was pleasant, and the baked goods looked amazing, but we didn't get any. read more

The best loco moco I have ever had. Wagu and perfect rice. Great view. The best service and smoothies. I keep going back.

This was our first stop to eat when we arrived at the island. It was Monday afternoon so it was not busy at all. We were seated quickly, and our order taken promptly. Our waiter was nice and made a couple of recommendations to us, so we appreciated it that. I had the paradise heat burger and wife had the crab cakes, she was not too hungry. Both were very delicious, the burger was surprisingly spicy, so i enjoyed it more than i thought i would. Them jalapeños were angry. I do wish the portions were a tad bit larger, my side of fries were gone almost instantly, considering the price tag, i thought there would be more. We also had drinks but forgot to take picture and don't remember the name of the drinks; same thing, albeit good, portioning did not reflect price tag. read more

Looking for a place to enjoy our last (evening) meal before flying back to the frozen north, and we ended up in Lilikoi. What a great find! The service was fantastic, fun/laid back atmosphere, and the food... well, exhibit A - the Loco Moco. My daughter enjoyed the hell out of it; what's not to love? (menu description: "Grilled Wagyu patty over white rice. Topped with a fried egg, beef mushroom gravy, fried onions and green onions.") All of the food was delicious, as were the drink (Lanai Tai - wow...) We may have to stop here first on our next trip to Kauai! Loved it! read more

Tasty food! The Coconut shrimp as well as the mahi burger were delicious! The Carmel espresso martini was a hit!

On one of the nights we were in Lihue, it was either Duke's across the street on Rice or Lilikoi. We opted to try Lilikoi. We've been to Duke's in Maui so they're probably owned by the same group. Lilikoi is probably owned by them too although I'm not sure. Their Hula pie is on their menu and the entrees on the menu sounded so much like Duke's! Anyway, the food here is wonderful. My wife enjoyed her tacos so much, she wants to eat them again if and when we go back to Kauai. My macadamia crusted mahi-mahi was good - not great. It was a little dry - probably overcooked then they drenched it in sauce. When they do that, they're covering up for something. In fact, there was not a macadamia crust in sight. Maybe they ran out of something. The place was pretty busy when we were there. As for their service, we only saw our server for very brief interaction - 3 times. Order, drop off our drinks and handing us the check. Overall, this place is good enough but not great enough to earn a 5 start rating. The 4 star is generous only because my wife really loved her order of tacos, otherwise it would have been a 3 1/2 stars which luckily Yelp does not bestow to restaurants. read more

Lilikoi was a festive, tropical themed spot close to the resort that offered us a convenient place to get lunch. Very touristy. The servers were incredibly friendly and they had a large selection on the menu. I got a virgin guava daiquiri which was cold and refreshing as well as their southwest salad with mahi mahi. The fish tasted really good but the salad was pretty average (but in their defense, how exciting can a salad be??) It certainly provided the greens I was looking for on this trip so I'm grateful for that, but I wouldn't say this is a must have meal. I think it was the BBQ sauce that threw me off and gave the salad a very sweet taste. I would've preferred a dressing with chipotle or lime. Overall it is cute and convenient for an easy meal, but the flavors won't blow your mind. Parking lot available and I believe they have restrooms. read more

Hands down one of the best brunch spots we've hit on the island! The customer service was top-notch, especially thanks to Nam--she was incredibly attentive, warm, and made us feel genuinely welcome from the moment we walked in. We ordered the macadamia nut pancakes and the pipikaula omelette, and both were unforgettable. The pancakes were perfectly fluffy, and the macadamia syrup struck that perfect balance of rich but not overly sweet. As for the omelette--loaded with smokey, sweet pipikaula and caramelized onions--each bite was bursting with flavor. 10/10 -- will definitely come back again. Great vibes, excellent food, and amazing service. Mahalo, Nam! read more
