“We had the best experience at La Spezia tonight for dinner! 🍝 We have been looking for an Italian restaurant on the island and this did not disappoint. We had Jimmy as our waiter, and he was wonderful! Incredibly friendly, kind and so knowledgeable about the menu options!!! If you are looking for authentic and delicious Italian food - look no further! 🤩😍“

“We ordered the samosa chaat, palak paneer, garlic naan, and lamb biryani. Service was efficient, fast, and friendly. We came on vacation, not expecting such good quality Indian food but the taste was above expected - excellent! A must visit.“

“This food truck is the best place for poké on Kauai! Charming relaxed atmosphere, DELICIOUS food at affordable prices, all next to an open building with great shops. Corn hole game for the kiddos set up near the covered seating area. All 8 in our group agreed that this was the place to eat! Visited 2-3 times during our stay. Highly recommend!“

“After a long morning at Waimea State Park, I picked Da Booze Shop because the name made me laugh. Well the jokes on me because the food, service, and atmosphere were stellar! I have always loved eating in Mom and Pop places because they always have the best food. I got the Mahi Katsu and had enough leftover for a snack. If you are traveling with kids this is a great place to eat. You can eat across the street at the park and let the kids play and expend some energy.“

“Absolutely amazing. This is a must when de ending from waimea canyon state park. Unbelievably delicious and filling.“

“Favorite restaurant on South shore. Wonderful cocktails, fantastic food, friendly and informative staff and a stunning view.“

“We love this place! We have stayed at the Grand Hyatt at Poipu multiple times and always look forward to our dinners at Tidepools. The food is delicious and the service is always top notch. But it’s the ambiance that makes this place special. No sunset views, but special nonetheless.

Macadamia Nut Crusted Mahi Mahi is my go to meal.“

“The staff was is super friendly. The food is some of the best I have ever had. The experience was one of the highlights of my trip.“

“Best Loco Moco, we stop here every time we visit the island.“

“The best place I’ve had food in Kauai. The service was amazing, I didn’t have to ask for a refill one time. The waiter/waitress were very attentive. The food was delicious and wasn’t expensive and bland like most things on the island. Definitely a good spot to eat!“

“One of the only restaurants(if not THE only restaurant) that is a must eat during return visits to Hawaii. Really wish there were locations in our area.“

“The variety in menu, courteous service fairly reasonable Prices.“

“Make sure to come visit this place if you love filipino food it is the best“

“Great food! Wow we were impressed. A lot of plate lunch spots can be so repetitive but this one stood out.We got one of everything and didn’t regret it.Got the kalbi ribs , chicken, pork belly(taste like an amazing pork chop) and mahi w/creamy sauce and capers. We asked to get everything a lil more browned and he did and it was so tasty. My family of four(who are picky) loved it…not picky cause they don’t like anything but picky cause we cook so good at home, we’re not easily impressed.Lots of love was put into the food. Marinated , browned, and good portions. The only critique is that the fish could’ve used a dash more of salt but I understand that when it comes to fish you don’t want to over season so u can taste the fish. But it was still cooked really well, fresh and did enjoy it.We also enjoyed the little bit of Kimchi that was added, nice touch. And I think it was grilled? The Mac salad was bomb and so was the saimin was better than the norm. Had a bit of smokiness.We needed up get everything if u go.But There were a couple tables there.This spot didn’t have many reviews so we were hesitant but we’re really glad we went and we hope more people start going and support this food truck. We loved it. We live on Oahu but if we lived on island this would be one of our go to spots. The owner was super nice , friendly and helpful.Thanks chef! ?“

“We had fish( mahi-mahi) 🌮 tacos It was so tasty. Stuff were funny and nice . Excellent !!!“

“Friendly service and great food“

“View from our room. Awesome! Very relaxing“

“Beautiful views of the garden and delicious food.“

“A cute little taco stand advertising “authentic Mexican food” located just off the main highway in Hanapepe (although I think there are other locations elsewhere on the island).

On a Monday at 11:45 we were the only customers and each ordered two tacos, fish and carnitas. You order at the window and they call you when the food is ready. There are a handful of picnic tables scattered around the taco shack or get the food to go.

The fish taco was good, but the pork with big chunks of tender pork was fantastic-highly recommended. They were pretty quick and reasonably priced with tacos around $7 each.“

“one of the best meals of my life and I ate here twice!! traveled all over the world so that says alot“

“This place is so much fun for adults and kids. The slide, pool, and activity area is so much fun and they welcome you with open arms. The food and drinks are amazing but…our service was why we kept coming back. Justyna has the best vibe and is so attentive. We recommend this place to everyone that comes to the Poipou area. ?“

“Amazing service, our waitress was so courteous, and she explained everything! And the food was delicious! I would Highly recommend!! Beautiful ocean front views“

“Great place to stop for a quick breakfast in Poipu. Love this place.“

“Wonderful staff! Our waitress and others we spoke with were very friendly and genuinely cared about ensuring everyone enjoyed dinner and had a good time.“

“Local spot for great plate lunches. Got the #11 and #5. #11 with Korean Fried Chicken, Teriyaki Steak and Fried Saimin and Rice and #5 chicken katsu, hamburger steak, pulled pork, mac salad and rice. Both were crazy tasty and portions are massive. Small little counter ordering place but the food is bomb.“

“An Unforgettable Thai Dining Experience!

Craving Thai absolutely blew me away! From the moment we walked towards the food truck, the atmosphere was cozy and quaint. The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive, offering great recommendations without being pushy.

We started with the crispy spring rolls and it had fresh flavors and perfectly balanced spices. For the main course, I had the pad see ew and crispy chicken, and it was hands down one of the best experiences I've ever tasted with it being rich, tasty, and just the right level of heat.
Portions were generous, and the prices were more than reasonable for the quality.

Craving Thai has easily become my new go to spot for Thai food. Highly recommend!“

“The best tarp chip I’ve ever had.,, period!Hard to find entrance to this stack and one wonder if he is even open, but well worth the trip.$7 fit a small bag of freshly fried tarp chips. Still hot and salty. Unlike the mass produced flavorless ones co packer makes.“

“It was an impromptu stop and surprisingly good. We tried 3 different items and all excellent“

“Great food nice looking place great people Great little Hideaway to get away from all the hustle and bustle of the big restaurant chains. The employees are so friendly and can explain all the foods nice“

“Very good breakfast and the friendliest servers like Javere!“

“The hospitality is top notch. Specifically from Natalia. She made sure that the special occasion my wife and I were celebrating was her first priority. We felt like we were her only guests though she had many tables. Thanks again to the Beach House and Natalia for making our dinner perfect!“

“Went here our first day on the island for drinks and ended up getting dinner, too. The service was pretty slow, but the server was super friendly and attentive once she finally made it to the table. My wife had the mahi mahi tacos and I had the mahi sandwich and they were fantastic. We also had two drinks each, the last two were the lava flow (delicious) and mudslide (not bad, but not great). The views are gorgeous overlooking the ocean and the prices aren’t awful. For 4 cocktails and two entrees it was about $120 which is honestly one of the cheaper places near the beach.“

“I’m a big fan of taro chips and they pretty much make them fresh here. We ended up complimenting this with fresh poke we had made from a fishing charter trip with Go Fish Kauai. I got a few bags so plan on snacking on these at the beach. $7 a bag but worth it given the quality and freshness. Support local“

“Everything was delicious, I would love to try everything on the menu, I think it’s all equally good!! The noodles are amazing and so are the people! I couldn’t decide between two of the dishes so they let us have a small sample of the plate I didn’t order (even though they were so busy!) so we could try it. Thank you!!“

“This place was highly recommended by my patient that was part of a Facebook Group that posted about this place a lot and they were featured on Diners, Drive-ins and Dives. It was good and the service was fantastic, but not so good that we made a second stop on our trip. Their service was quick too, so it's a good stop if you only have a short time to eat! Their menu includes: Truffle Burger, Veggie Burger, Chicken Katsu Sandwich, Kenji Burger (teriyaki, ponzu aioli, caramelized onions, cheddar cheese, tomato & arugula), Misoyaki Fish Sandwich, Salads, Sushi Burritos & Bowls (loco moco, chicken katsu, misoyaki fish, and poke). There are 2 locations on the island“

“Wow!!!Admittedly, these are the first tacos I’ve had on Kauai but they are so so good. I ordered the grilled fish tacos and the blackened fish tacos. The fish is generously portioned and both were yummy. The blackened fish tacos were a flavor bomb and if I have time to go back, I will order all blackened fish. My mouth is watering just thinking about it. Total for my four tacos was $29 which seems fair for two meals and cheaper than any other meal I’ve had here. 10/10“

“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. She loves the food and the team there! She and her friends had a blast! They got a VIP tour and some Dominos swag! Thank you sooooo much to the team at our Lihue Dominos We love you guys! ❤️❤️❤️❤️😎😎“

“Long stay at the Hyatt and look forward to breakfast each day here. What a creative, professional, diverse breakfast buffet! Too much to note here but there is NOTHING missing for breakfast or brunch options! The staff is so friendly and personable.“

“Love the food here. You gotta be there really early for the full spread of rolls, I love the spicy crab, portuguese sausage, or flying saucers. They’re prepared food is great too, I love the kim chee fried rice omelet or the brisket bomb. Been coming here for years, owners are really kind hardworking people. My favorite breakfast spot in lihue!“

“Kalapaki Joe’s Poipu knows exactly what it is—and it delivers. With the motto “No fancy words. Generous portions. Good vibes,” this spot hits the trifecta ✅

The vibe? Chill and lively 🎸, with live music setting the tone for an easygoing island night 🌙. The food? Let’s just say generous portions isn’t just marketing—these dishes come ready to satisfy 🍛🍤. It's casual dining done right, overlooking the Poipu Kai tennis courts 🎾, which adds a unique, open-air energy to the meal.

Whether you're winding down after a beach day 🏖️ or catching the tunes with friends 🥂, Kalapaki Joe’s is a place you’ll want to linger. No fuss, just flavor and fun 🌺🍹“

“Well we tried it. I will say it was the least expensive meal we ate. But the burgers are McDonalds size. They were ok, good I guess, but nothing special. The onion rings were good, but we only got 2 with our order of Frings. I would say if you are craving a small, cheap burger and there's no line, it's worth it. Otherwise, you can probably find better.“

“Ahi tacos are amazing and big!“

“Red Salt is amazing! Highly recommend it. The best food on the island. Our server was Allen and he was amazing!!!! Great service and careful with our parties’ food allergies. Lovely memorable dining experience. The toasted pear salad and filet mignon were outstanding!“
