    Chicken nishime over rice with the last morsels of sweet and sour spareribs;)
    Karen S.

    Love the decor and music which is full of faith and peace. It was so relaxing to dine in, enjoy light rock praise music and eat yummy local food! This is the chicken nishime over rice and the extra sweet sour spareribs that weren't enough for a a full serving. So naturally my tip was very generous;). See you on my next trip to Lihue for sure!!!

    We found Sone's while comparing the various food options in this center. We were attracted by the menu prices and the décor of Faith and Worship. The prices appeared lower than their competitors so we went in for lunch. Unfortunately, it was not the pleasant experience we expected. When we entered, a lady to the right called out a young man to staff the counter. He came out looking agitated to have to come help. He ran his hands through his hair, pulling it back, then asked what we wanted. We thought about leaving due to sanitation concerns, but then the lady came to take over. We asked her to describe the menu, Box Lunches vs Lunch Plates. She was vague and said Boxes were premade, but Lunch Plates you get to choose from the hot food displayed through the glass, similar to Panda Express. We chose the 2 Choice lunch for $10.85. We ended up being charged $16.19, so we asked why. She said our choices were $1.75 each because they were on the Special Item list. We then noticed that nearly every hot item was on the Special list except noodles or appetizers. So our two choices added $3.50. Plus she said the Container cost $0.55. Curious how it would have been served had we opted for no Container. Anyway, what we thought was a reasonable price of $10.85 for a two item lunch actually totaled $16.19. Sone's turned out to be more expensive in the end than other options in that center, and the portion was smaller than their competitors. We wanted to support what appeared to be a local run restaurant, but left disappointed with the experience because we felt a bit of bait and switch with the low menu listing before the extra charges. We recommend going to the other food business at this food court.

    I love this place! I called Diane before I came to ask about what chicken I should try. She told me to come in and she would have me sample them. I appreciated this because it gave me an opportunity to see what would work with my taste buds. I tried the chicken that begins with the letter 'M' that's o ly served on Thursdays and the lemon chicken. I bought them both. The Namasu was fresh and they had brown rice. Awesome! Diane was very friendly and helpful to us. I would return here again and again. Thank you!

    Fried chicken and hamburger steak 2 choice plate
    Alvin A.

    Almost a day full of errands, one last stop at Kukui Grove. Very limited choices of eateries, but one place I haven't been in years! Originally wanted a bento, but they ran out for the day. Luckily they got some delicious looking local grinds to choose from. So I chose fried chicken & hamburger steak, wow! The crispiness and flavor of the fried chicken almost brought me memories of Hanamaulu Cafe! The hamburger steak was really soft, little too much on the shoyu side, but still delicious. And there was a piece of shrimp something, I can't seem to remember the name of it, but it's a Japanese favorite and you'll most likely see it in a bento or okazuya. There were open tables inside, perfect for the passing showers outside. Really appreciate samples of the fish and how generous the guy was with portions!

    Plate lunch

    I had a hard time finding Sone's because of google maps. Enter shopping center and look for food court. Got a plate lunch with 3 items and it was all so tasty! I had fried chicken that was dipped in some delicious sauce, tempura and butter fish. All the entrees looked delicious. It was really hard to choose. Come here and try everything. A lot of the dishes remind me of home cooking. Bonus was the band playing on food court right in front of restaurant.

    Huge variety of great options! Service is quick and prices are affordable. The portions are generous; my mix plate was lunch and dinner! I'm looking forward to trying more of their choices, everything looked and smelled delicious.

    Lots of food!
    Marissa K.

    We ordered take out from here. Food is tasty. You can order made to order or counter food. Portions are generous for the price. Located in the Kukui Grove Center's food court. Great spot to come for local food.

    Try the lunch menu plate with noodles/white rice , tempura shrimp, garlic fish sticks (delicous) and BOMB delicious meatloaf.

    One of three McDonald's on the island of Kauai, this location is in Lihue, close to the airport…read moreright off Kuhio Highway (the main thoroughfare on the East side). My wife and I were hungry after arriving into Kauai after dinner time, so wanted something quick and easy before we checked into our hotel. It was good. It's humid in Hawaii and with the inside being well air conditioned, there was a thick layer of condensation on the windows, making it hard to tell if the dining room was even open or not. But it was, so decided to dine-in. I used the McDonald's app to place and pay for the order, entering the table number. Otherwise this location is automated, with 2 large kiosks taking orders. The food came out pretty fast in a takeout bag, with my name and table number being yelled out loudly (guess they don't do table delivery here, which is fine...though wish they would not offer it on the app in that case). My mood brighten greatly when I realized the large fries ($4.99) had been freshly cooked. The buy one, get one for $1 still applied here (if done on the app) so got two double cheeseburgers, one for $4.19 and the second for $1. They now have a mini McFlurry available, so got the OREO flavor for $2.99 (really hit the spot since the soft serve used was really good and we liked how the oreo cookie pieces were finely crushed), and added a large Diet Coke ($1.99). Pretty confident it will be the cheapest, filling meal we will get during our trip.

    We came for breakfast.Drive through was bz so decided to dine.The inside wasn't that bz.So we used…read morethe touch screen ordering computer to place our order.We got our order number took our seat,A few minute later our meal was bought to us.My girlfriend got the sausage McMuffin meal and for myself I got there new sausage egg bagel and a side of pancakes.Of course my girlfriend enjoyed her meal.My sausage was okay.The bagel was a little chewy.I'd rather have the sausage McMuffin instead.I probably won't order this again.Also of course the pancakes is always good.

    What a wonderful Yelp find! Lots of locals, so you know it's good and worth the price!…read more We had the Braise Short Rib special with Garlic Mashed potatoes. And the Hawaiian plate: Kaluah pork, lomi salmon, ahi poke, mac salad, and poi. I'm not a huge poi fan- so I won't comment. But I do love mac salad and theirs is special! Less "wet" from mayo, more on a thicker side-- superb! The braised short rib was melt in your mouth with a great semi glaze and fantastic crust on the meat. It is a sports bar- so the atmosphere is quite lively and loud. Do not expect a quiet dinner. But the patio is less loud.

They have seating for…read more100+ people and when we requested a seat where we could see the soccer game, they declined us because they needed that seating for the rush. There were 12 people in the whole place counting us. No rush came. Our waitress corrected my wife on how to say Lychee and totally said it incorrectly. Haha we slid our table over to the right 4 inches so we could see the game better since there was nobody in the table next to us and she came over and slid it back. She later was visibly annoyed at us for not ordering more and said, "Really?! That's it?" When we told her we were good with what we had. Then an little later asked us to move tables because she had another group coming in. We just asked for the check and left. Never coming back.
