“Best hot Matcha I found on the Island during my 2 weeks stay. It was made fresh to order which you could taste as well as the high quality Matcha being used.
Service was very good and the atmosphere welcoming
Also the location is nicely decorated and peaceful with some tables to sit for a while”

“We had my son's and future daughter in law's rehearsal dinner at the Anaina Hou Community Park. Ally’s Cocina served our party dinner and did a fantastic job, excellent food and so very nice to work with. We really appreciate you making it so easy for us to have an awesome evening!”

“It is a food truck located behind mini golf place in the park. Very kind people and makes very tasty pizzas. Very welcoming and makes your with lot of love and care. You must try this place even if you have to drive around to eat here, you will not regret it. I ordered jalapeño pizza and they use fresh jalapeños not the pickled ones!”

“Awesome food! Service was great and the 2 neighborhood dogs were so sweet!”

“I visited about four times during a nearly month long visit to Anahola. Service was friendly and food top notch. I mostly got the cheese board. The price seemed high but comparing it to similar items on the east coast, the price was comparable considering the differences between east coast and Hawaii prices. The board had three good quality cheeses, salami, prosciutto, fresh berries, Kalamata olives, bread and other accompaniments. I usually sat at the bar and service was very friendly.”

“Best bubble tea on the island!! I got the taro flavor and it was excellent.
Update Dec. 2025: Came back for dinner. Got the teriyaki steak plate. Best Korean BBQ I've ever had. I am keto and they kindly substituted the rice and macaroni for a green salad. This is officially my favorite restaurant on Kauai.”

“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.”

“visited on our honeymoon and loved the juice! our favorite was the starburst!!”

“Opened my box today, it smelled delicious!! Thank you for bringing me back to Kauai with your treats, they are wonderful!! 🥰”

“Accidentally messed up an order and gave us that one and the right one for free. Awe. Some.”

“Got a nice oat flat white. Beans were not over roasted as in most cafes. There were some vegan options and some with honey. The cornbread was super dry - ask when it was baked if you want that. We got a couple Snickers bars but they were cut very unevenly so one was thick and the other was half the size.”

“Excellent food friendly atmosphere quiet. A must visit”

“Great coffee spot with an impressive selection of drinks and food. Their bagel sandwiches are ridiculously good — we had the Surfer Girl sandwich and it was finger-licking delicious! The açaí bowl was also super refreshing. Definitely worth a visit!”

“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”

“My husband and I have been eating our way through the menu and haven't had a bad meal ever! It's my favorite place to eat on the island. My personal favorites are the deep fried mac n cheese or fries poutine appetizers, the duck or lamb dinners and always the cheesecake with bacon toffee or chocolate pudding. Drinks are fantastic and I love the infused smoked effects that can be added or the sweet martini drink on the dessert menu that tastes like drinking a snickerdoodle cookie. They have the biggest selection of whiskey, bourbon, scotch and rye around. A definate must try! It's truly the BOMB! ❤”

“Good service! Friendly and excellent food!”

“If you only get sushi once on the island, this is where you should go. We have been coming to this spot for years and cannot say enough good things about the food and service. Daily fresh caught local fish served up in creative and delicious dishes in Maki Roll, Sushi Burrito, or Poke Bowl style.”

“It is a healing garden rather than Farmacy. Astonishing views and abundant vegetation makes you forget you are on the Earth. Still you realized that you are not in heaven with the few stray mosquitos determined to keep the cycle of life running.
The owner of the place looks like he discovered the elixir of the eternal youth. He might actually did it, given that the products sold here are pretty good. The cream healed my wounds from crashing against the reef pretty fast. I would even eat it (all pure nature based with incredible aroma), if not the price paid for it.”

“The fish tacos, ceviche, and quesadillas are my favorite. Avoid the carne asada if you have high expectations. Nice people and relaxed environment open air feel but covered in case it rains 👍🏼”

“Such a hidden gem! This small, cute food truck on a golf course is run by the friendliest ladies. We tried the avocado curry with shrimp (my first time having it and it was so good), chicken fried rice, and spring rolls.. everything was full of flavor. The Thai iced tea was delicious too! There’s a shaded tent right next to the truck where you can sit and enjoy your meal. Portions were generous, we even had to take some back to the hotel. Truly not just “good for a food truck” but some of the best Thai food I’ve ever had.”

“You want to eat here. Trust me. Convenient to the National park entrance, and easy to find. Two brand new picnic tables to sit and eat. The food was delicious and reasonably priced with good portions. After walking 9 miles in the park, these tacos were sooo welcome.”

“Food ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Ambiance ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Service ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Every time 🤙🏽”

“ordered for 11 people after a long hike at the crater and they gave so much food and the prices are reasonable. VERY FRESH. WARM. and gooey. took about 30 minutes which is expected for a big party.”

“amazing wines with excellent service!”

“Eagle's Lighthouse Cafe is such a special spot! There's something really unique about it. The setting is beautiful and the outdoor seating is so charming and relaxing.

The coffee was great and I'm already excited about all the variety on the menu to explore on my next visit. I got the breakfast bowl and wow, the portion was super generous! I also couldn't stop eyeing their pastries. They looked amazing and I'm definitely trying one next time.

The cafe was busy the whole time I was there with a constant flow of people coming in and out, which just shows how popular it is. Can't wait to go back soon!”

“Located just a few minutes from Volcano National Park, Big Island Tea is a wonderful side trip on your Big Island adventure. Our hosts, Eliah and Cam, have a wonderful food forest that's easy to get to and they are very knowledgable and hospitable. First, we took an easy walking tour of their five acre property that features not only tea plants but also coffee, a bamboo grotto and a wide assortment of other tropical plants. We were accompanied by their ball-fetching dogs and shown their tea processing house before sitting down to a tea-tasting on the lanai. While I'm not much of a tea lover, my friends were in heaven and I had a delightful time learning about different kinds of tea and the process of curing it. I left feeling like we had made some new friends and will be taking all of our visitors there for a unique and wonderful experience.”

“All 4 dishes the family recieved were delicious! The Thai tea was excellent!”

“This is a great little place to have a beer, burger, and bowling. Inside Volcanoes National Park at the Kilauea Military Camp. There's also an arcade and Starbucks coffee bar!”

“Annual Halloween costume contest was fun as always. They had designed 4 sweet and spooky specialty cocktails for the evening. I bought 2 drinks at once before the cocktail line got long. The dj played a variety of dance beats that kept the crowd moving. The empty cups were removed in a timely manner.

Food was available next door in the mess hall early in the evening.”

“My favorite place in Volcano village! They’ve got ono food and drinks, awesome staff and the atmosphere they’ve created is unmatched!”
