“We stopped to get some dessert to go with the dinner we were going to make after a rainy day of sightseeing. I picked the sweet potato haupia pie, my husband had the lilikoi chiffon with cream cheese, and my nephew had the 4 pc Ube Mochi. We each tried a taste of each other’s desserts and I liked the lilikoi dessert the best. I forgot to take pics of the desserts but we also bought a dozen of taro rolls which we used for breakfasts egg sandwiches for 2 of the days. Ruth was so helpful and friendly in answering all my questions about the desserts in helping my selection. My mom grew up in Hawaii and used to make haupia and delicious rolls so it brought back some sweet memories and was especially fitting since part of our reason for our trip was to scatter some of her ashes.“

“Great kalua pork, way better than on the main land! Higher quality than the l&l in Hanalei too, my favorite Hawaiian barbecue grill. The pork was tender and had great flavor as well in addition. The lady that took our order was very nice and serviced us quickly and with the swiftness. Can’t wait to come back!“

“We visited the Hono Bar three times as we stayed in the area for 12 days. We did not stay at the Marriott, but we were welcomed there every night. We watched the sunsets there, had some drinks and dinner one of the nights. We sat at the bar and we're entertained by some friendly bartenders, and excellent drinks (Mai Tai was awesome). We got hit with a short rain shower and they just dropped a couple curtains to keep us dry. Great fun!“

“The flavors were great, but there was literally just one server for the entire restaurant... It's not an exaggeration.

I'll start with the service... Unfortunately, when a restaurant is woefully understaffed, the service is going to suffer, and Leong's was no exception. Our waiter was pleasant and helpful, but we waited quite a while for him to come by and take our order. And, as might be expected, we never got our calamari appetizer. However, the entrees came out pretty quickly, so I told him to cancel the calamari.

As for the entrees, I had a combo of chicken stir fry and kalbi beef, served with rice. This was excellent, even if the calbi beef was cold on arrival. My wife had just the chicken stir fry and rice and enjoyed it very much. We ordered the brownie ala mode for desert, and unfortunately, the ice cream was melted, and the entire thing became a soup in 30 seconds.

Overall, the food was tasty, but with only one server for the entire restaurant, execution issues, like cold entrees, melted deserts, and forgotten appetizers, are bound to happen. It's a shame, really, because the food is really good.... Well, it certainly would have been if served at the correct temperatures. (still give 4 stars, but would have been 5, if...)“

“Justin, you and your team did a fabulous job for our Son's wedding rehearsal dinner! We are so grateful for all the hard work leading up to our event and for your careful attention to detail and responsiveness to our requests. The food was a wonderful combination of flavors and delicious in every way! Our family and wedding party loved and raved about it all! A few of the many items people keep raving about was the amazing Macaroni Salad and your special BBQ sauces. We all agreed they were the best we ever had! It was so nice to work with someone who goes above and beyond to make an event a success. It was a night all of our guests enjoyed greatly and will not be forgetting anytime soon. With great gratitude, Carmen, John & Melanie, Eric (the proud parents) Paige and Dylan (the bride and groom) San Francisco, CA“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Island Nectar Shave Ice at Uncles of Kauai is a slice of paradise in a cup! The flavors are vibrant and refreshing, perfectly capturing the tropical essence of Kauai with every bite. The ice is finely shaved to a soft, fluffy texture that melts in your mouth, making it incredibly smooth and satisfying. Each layer of syrup is a delicious burst of tropical goodness, and the combination of natural flavors is both unique and perfectly balanced.

But the real surprise is the macadamia nut ice cream hidden underneath! It’s creamy, rich, and has that delightful hint of nuttiness that takes this treat to another level. The smooth, nutty ice cream adds the perfect balance to the fruity shave ice, creating a layered taste experience that’s simply out of this world. The staff is warm and welcoming, adding to the overall island vibe. Whether you’re cooling off after a beach day or simply craving a sweet treat, this shave ice with macadamia nut ice cream is a must-try. It’s a truly unforgettable taste of Hawaii!“

My wife loved the Asian Salad, but my DIL thought the Macademia Crusted Mahi Mahi was a bit dry. Service was SPECTACULAR, and the kids menu was extensive - our 3.5 yo grandson loved the grilled cheese sandwich with waffle fries, our 19 month old grandaughter loved the pasta with marinara, and there was also pasta with butter sauce, cheese burger sliders with waffle fries, and chicken tenders with waffle fries. The view of the pool and ocean from under the lanai was also terrific!“
