“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.“

“Visiting from California & Utah. Great tasting dinner specials. Staff was fun & friendly! Planning on returning for happy hour while we’re still in town.“

“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! 👏👏👍“

“Had the swordfish special. My wife had a fancy burger. We each had a different cocktail. Everything was really delicious!!! We also had the best server in our lives, her name was Kay. I know we will never have a server as great as her ever. We wish her the best!“

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

“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.“

“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!“

“Got to try during their soft opening. Didn’t really feel like a soft opening cause Adrian the server was outstanding, clearly no kinks to work out. Attentive, friendly, good recommendations, great with kids. The setting is set back by the pool area overlooking lush landscaping and the pool and waterfall. The crab crusted fish (Ono today) and the shrimp / pork “pillows” (think wonton gyozas) were highly recommended and solid but the runaway star was actually the seafood chowder. Solid chunks of all kinds of seafood and excellent flavor. I’d go back for that alone. The udon came with 5 large shrimp also, solid portion. The sauce on the ono and gyoza were both bold and interesting. The ono sauce was almost bisque like. A couple creative deserts also. They do a limited pineapple upside down which takes time as it’s prepared fresh. We opted for the Halo Halo (a Filipino speciality done very well here) and the Chocolate Granache bar which came with 2 bars instead of the normal one. Great for sharing. Very much enjoyed the Halo Halo also with the panna cotta, red bean and a killer Mac nut brittle.

Would return for the soup alone, but great service, comfortable environment and some other interesting choices all make it worth a glance. They seem good with families also, saw lots of kids in there.“

“The best poke bowl we had in Kauai by far. Along with that, they have so many changing options of hot food, and grab and go food, it's a whole different experience every day. The garlic fried chicken was our children's favorite. It wasn't great tasting food that kept bringing us back, it's also that the food was reasonably priced compared to other similar businesses we visited. Check them out, you won't be disappointed.“

“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 💙🌺“

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

“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“

“Good service! Friendly and excellent 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.“

“Chef Samuel prepared delicious meals for me accommodating my food allergies and intolerances! Holly, Shantasy, Nelson, and the rest of the staff provided me with attentive, great service. I enjoyed breakfast, lunch, and dinner at Naupaka Terrace.“

“We are here and as soon as we walked on the door they staff was very friendly. It was around 8 pm -‘d not very busy. We got seated right away and order very quickly. The pizza and fettuccine Alfredo were both amazing. It was big portions and the service was quick.“

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