“We just enjoyed a delightful dinner that was too tasty for us to stop and take a picture. We had the teriyaki chicken and the grilled ahi. The service was over the top and the patio was perfect. Thank you! You have fans from Texas!“

“Went to hukilau for 37th wedding anniversary. Oct 15. Was dying for prime rib. Didn’t care about price I wanted Prime rib so so bad. All we get here on Kauai is choice. There is no fat in the meat no marbling and you can’t cut it with a fork. You have to slice every bite. That is choice. And if you’re good with that. Then the rib is great. It was cooked perfectly. But I wanted the prime rib. Prime has fat all thru it and so tender the meat falls apart. Little pieces of fat around the edges and you can see the marbling in the center. I actually asked the waitress what was on my plate (which I have never ever done before) and she said it was prime she even went to the chef to check. He too said it was prime. I have cooked a lot of prime rib in my lifetime so I feel like I know what talking about but I felt like I was being blown off like an unknowing tourist. All I know is that my meat did not look anything like what is in the photo of their prime rib on the website with photos of their menu. Love this place otherwise. Been going there for 30 years. Incredibly nice waithelp and an incredible view for a romantic evening.“

“I had the sea bass, and It was the best meal I have had in years.“

“Staffs are friendly. This is my first time to visit. U basically tell them what u like and they will suggest you which combination you would order. All of the items look so good. I always wanted to try sesame Poke Ahi, sesame scallops, kimchi, stuffed chicken and pork Lau Lau with rice for my husband and I. Love all of them! U can tell they have good quality of food and prepared them well in order to keep them fresh! Highly recommend! Love this Hawaii food! 👏👏👍“

“Excellent food friendly service Wishing Kyle. his Ohana ,employees Merri Hurisumasu Be Safe hungry soing their MOW!!!!“

“The food was exceptionally delicious and the choices were varied. There were six different preparations of poke. I chose spicy ahi and green onion ahi. Stellar range of flavors. The staff were friendly and very willing to explain the differences in preparation. Highly recommended!“

“all year round fresh local fish“

“Yummy! This was an absolutely pleasant surprise. I found them because their Ahi Wrap was featured on Food Network's: The Best Thing I Ever Ate. Admittedly, there were issues with our order with the food taking longer than normal, so we were offered a container of poke to say sorry! The fish was so fresh and delicious. I chose the fresh catch plate (Ono) and the dipping sauces that came with it were delicious, my mouth is STILL watering! Seating is limited outdoors, but definitely still warrants a stop. Parking is plentiful in the front and back of this shopping mall.“

“This is the best Poke on island, I have gone to most of the others, but I kind of just went once. Lawai'a though I keep coming back to. Their best stuff is the bottom row of poke, it is their most unique flavors, and all really good. Their smoked fish is also really good. I also often get their hot food, which changes constantly in selection, their fired chicken and salmon belly is tasty.
The staff is friendly, when I got some ama ebi from them to cook, when I came back for poke they asked about what I did with them.“

“I recommend the fried chicken with the Garlic sauce!Not too salty and not super deep fried! Was super good! And they stay up later then most shops in Lihue! 🤙🏻 5 star for me 💙🌺“

“OMG, this place is amazing!!! I got the Kalena plate with potatoes, kimchee, and sprouts, and everything was awesome. The meat jun was my favorite, but honestly, everything was top-tier. The side options were almost overwhelming because I wanted to try them all. On top of that, the service was so lovely and pleasant, and the place itself was incredibly clean. I’ll definitely be dreaming about this plate lunch for a while.“

“Friendly service and great food“

“We had lunch at this eatery and it was reasonable, busy with local workers, and terrific. Located a little off the beaten path in a light industrial neighborhood. We had the fresh Snapper blacken sandwich and it was outstanding! The entire time we were dinging the takeout orders were streaming out the door. A true winner! Everything was fresh and tasty while being reasonably priced.“

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

“Good service! Friendly and excellent food!“

“This was the only option available for dining at the Outrigger, and we were tired after a long flight. The food was okay, but I wasn't good enough to come back for. I'd eat here again if I was staying there again. The staff were friendly, but the service was a bit slow considering it wasn't busy“

“Amazing food and service“

“We eat here every time we’re on the island and they never disappoint! Homemade pasta…yum!“
