“Hard to believe you can get such great sushi from a food truck. I’m partial to sashimi and it is always fresh, perfectly cut, and beautifully presented.“

“Our New Go-To on Kauai! We’ve found our gem. After frequenting Kauai for work, Sushi Blue Wave has become our absolute favorite dining destination on the island. The intimate ambiance sets the perfect tone for an exceptional meal, and the service is genuinely attentive without being intrusive. Our server, JP, made excellent recommendations and ensured every detail was just right. Now, onto the food … simply outstanding! The Truffle Edamame was an inspired start, elevated beyond the ordinary. We worked our way through several standout dishes: the Blue Wave Crunch Roll delivered on both texture and flavor, while the Dry-Aged Wasabi Truffle Salmon was a revelation. I agree with another reviewer: it was the best salmon dish I’ve ever eaten. The Lemon Bliss Roll provided a bright, refreshing contrast, and both the scallop sashimi and sea urchin were pristine examples of how fresh, quality ingredients need little embellishment. What impressed us most was the consistency across every dish. The fish was impeccably fresh, and the rice in each roll was perfectly seasoned and proportioned … never overwhelming the delicate flavors of the fish, but providing the ideal foundation. It’s clear the chef understands balance. We are planning to be back this evening and on our next trip to Kauai. And the one after that! Sushi Blue Wave has earned a permanent spot on our dining itinerary.“

We were originally seated outside, but started getting rained on with the wind, so we asked to move. The service/hostess staff were so accommodating and smiley.“
