“Loved Waikomo Shave Ice. Beautiful patio. Shave ice was delicious. Even met a few locals. 🦎🩷🍧“

“Great vegan food. No frills and outside dining“

“Best shave ice 🍧 that ive had on kauai. My nieces loved their hot dog 🌭 too. Perfect beach treats.“

“If you are a fan of açaí bowls, it doesn't get much better.“

“very nice shaved ice. it has very even flavoring and the flavors are not too strong.

they have a good system where they only let a batch of people inside the store at a time. however, the wait both inside and outside the shop is a bit long.“

“Best coffee in San Diego!!!! ☕️✨“

“The best gelato I have ever had!“

“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!“

“We ate at La Spezia twice in September 2024 and absolutely loved it! A couple of us had the fettuccine calabrese, which was delicious and huge – enough for two meals. We also tried vongole e gamberetti, spaghetti arrabbiata, short rib ravioli, and veal scallopini. We also took desserts to go—tiramisu, cheesecake, and panna cotta. All were very good. Every dish gets a thumbs up! Probably the best Italian restaurant I’ve ever eaten at. And the service was top-notch. Considering the quality, priced are reasonable. If I’m ever back in Kauai I’ll eat there again. Tip: Make a reservation if you want to get it. It’s not a large place.“

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

“Overall, a very nice evening! We've been coming to Tidepools for over 30 years now. Always a special night out. Negative: my Opah was stringy and tough at one end. Needed my knife to cut...😞 Other entrees (mahi & ahi) were good but not great. Presentation was outstanding, Prices & value; well, it's Kauai and this was the Grand Hyatt...ambiance alone is worth the cost! Our server, Derrick, was a 10 out of 10!“

“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.“

“Great place, get there early , usually there is a line but it moves fast.“

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

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

“Came here twice for a quick dinner takeout. So much better to grab and take back to your hotel than any hotel food. The fish was super moist and well cooked and the carne asada was good quality. The lava hot sauce really isn’t that spicy if you like spicy.“

“I had the ahi poke bowl. It was delicious. We enjoyed eating at a picnic table with our friends. Very casual. Very relaxing.“

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

“Beautiful views of the garden and delicious food.“

“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!“

“Sooo very good. The devil sauce is AMAZING! I would eat it every day for the rest of my life.“

“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. ?“

“Save your receipts! Apparently you can get free stuff if you spend enough 😟“

“View from our room. Awesome! Very relaxing“

“This food truck is tucked into Old Town Koloa next to some other food trucks which is nice if you are with a group who want different things to eat. I ordered the chicken pad Thai and my dad ordered the teriyaki chicken. It took about 20 minutes as they make it fresh to order and man was it fresh and delicious! It tasted homemade for sure! The chicken was juicy and flavorful in both dishes and the servings were generous. We had loads of leftovers too. It all tasted just as good the next day!

I have eaten plenty of pad Thai in my life and this one tasted very much not like what I am used to and I enjoyed it immensely. The flavors were amazing, but not over the top where I’m grabbing for water every two seconds. And tons of peanuts which I love!

I gave 4 stars only because there is very little seating so it’s not really set up to eat there unless you are lucky enough to get a spot. We would have loved to order and eat fresh right there, but instead brought it back to our hotel. It was amazing though! I want to try the spring rolls next time! Highly recommend for some authentic Thai cuisine!“

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

“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!!“

“When you’re on Kauai and just need something simple and satisfying, Bubba’s Burgers hits the mark. I was in the mood for a no-fuss, classic American meal, and Bubba’s delivered. I went with a single patty burger and a corndog—nothing fancy, just exactly what I needed.

The vibe here is laid-back with a quirky charm that really adds to the experience. From the cool signage to the straightforward menu, it’s clear they focus on keeping it simple and doing it well. Sometimes that’s all you need. For a solid burger, great fries, and a fun atmosphere, Bubba’s Burgers definitely deserves four stars.“

“Best breakfast spot for something quick, light, and delicious! ❤️ Highly recommend trying the little fish bowl with chia pudding.“

“We enjoyed Puka Dog very much! A unique and tropical experience with the different flavors of sauces. Personally we had one with mild sauce & passion fruit sauce and another with spicy jalapeño & ketchup. Delicious until the last bite. Grab extra napkins and head to the beach to enjoy with a fresh squeezed lemonade! You won’t be disappointed“

“The hostess and host who took us to our table was very welcoming. The waitstaff was so hospitable, too. The food was very delicious and way too much for Mom and I to try everything offered. The food servers behind the carving stations were so nice, too. A must try for all who visit the Ilima Grand Hyatt at Shipwrecks Kauai. Go try the Ilima Terrace!!!“

“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 🌺🍹“

“Great food. Great service.“

“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!“

“We loved our dinner at the Library. My wife had a Crunchy roll, and I had the lobster. Both were delicious. We started with the chilled rename which was excellent. And we ordered the fire roasted shishito peppers which came with a spicy honey mustard dipping sauce that I thought was fantastic. I would definitely go again. Service was very personable and attentive without being smothering. Enjoyed the dinner very much.“

“Food is still good however the service now sucks. if your eating and want something else or another drink. whoever is serving you will not get it you are told that you must go back up to the cashier and order it there. what kind of crap is that. when told that I replied that "Then no need to tip you right" ? got a dirty look for that one, I'm just saying what's the purpose of having a waiter/waitress that won't get anything may as well go to the Crack. glad the one in Kalaheo isn't like poipu !!“

“The Prime Rib was enjoyed by my son-in-law, and I LOVED the Stung Honey Fried Chicken. The coconut shrimp were the perfect accompianment to the King Tiki Mai Thai. 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!“

“We were greeted with a very warm welcome. Staff was extremely polite and nice. Food was fantastic. They had live entertainment Hawaiian music. This is a must go to restaurant.“
