“12/2025
I happened upon this quaint, friendly and fast place by accident. Located next to Inkspot, people drive by for a really quick and onolicious pickup. They offer 3 simple bentos that offer a quick but wide variety of food. Drop by to get your quick fix to start your day. They open at 6am. D, one of the owners was really informative and helpful. And the food offerings is what attracts your eye at their prices. Not overly huge but very reasonable and economical portions in these trying times. A nice niche option just minutes from anywhere in town and the airport. Onolicious! 😉🤙✌️“

“Awesome atmosphere. Great Service and the best we have ever had on any of the cruises“

“Must try local! What a wonderful homey place, incredibly flavorful noodles. We had the “Special Saimin” and the”Oxtail Saimin”the Special had a good mix of add ons and the Oxtail had an amazing broth. The bbq beef was jerky-ish but filled with flavor.

Cash only tho!“

“Excellent and authentic Thai Food“

“Stopped into Costco last night upon landing in Kauai to stock up for the week. We were informed by the checker that the food court and bakery are closed for renovation. We were still able to stock up on treasures in other departments. I thought I would pass the information along so future travelers can plan accordingly.“

“Dominos pizza Kauai is the best! The food is always great and the service is always beyond exceptional. My daughter just had her first ever party with friends! She had it at Dominos.

“This place gives mom and pop vibes and has the best food! The bbq shortribs, and special fried rice are our go to dishes. But everything is always so flavorful and cooked to perfection. We’ve had their pork chops, chicken, and vegetables, and everything we’ve ordered has been amazing. The service is kind, and so chill, and the food comes out fast. We keep coming back because it’s that good. An absolute must try!“
