Hawaiian Restaurants near Lawai, HI

“I've never once left a review while still sitting in a restaurant, but I will tonight. This place makes me sad that I cannot eat here again tomorrow. I could tell you what we ordered, but it doesn't matter. You literally cannot screw it up.“

“Very good experience. Were seated at a great table at corner of restaurant with complete view of lagoon. Food was fantastic. Fish was perfectly cooked...moist and not dried out. Veggies were al dente...perfectly cooked. The dhef experiments with different fiod types ie...complimentary broth at opening of meal. Very tasty. I was skeptical of a big hotel restaurant but the experience blew me away in a good way!!“

“Awesome homemade food served by an awesome family. Had a Caesar salad with Ahi and my family also tried the ice cream sandwiches on home-made ginger cookies and one on snicker-doodles. Would go back in a heartbeat. Super friendly place to eat.Dietary restrictions: They had some veggie options and several gluten free options.“

“This restaurant sits right near the golf course next to the Grand Hyatt Kauai Resort. Very friendly staff and the menu offered delicious items. Decent sized portions and my hubby and I shared our plates and still had some left over. The poke was so fresh it melts in your mouth. We also had the Korean fried chicken with kimchi and it was bomb. Came with rice and seaweed salad which I loved. We went back to dine here two more times, it was that good! Definitely a must try.“

“This is some of the best Poke I have had! I got the Shoyu Ahi with the cucumber namasu and ocean salad. The flavors were great and the fish was very fresh! Mango bread was also good and they have a pretty large portion. Would recommend to anyone visiting the island.“

“Was recommended to this place as THE spot for poke on Kauai and it did not disappoint. Friendly and quick counter service with the freshest poke and such a creative offering of sauces and toppings makes this place the bomb! Happy to have a new go-to when I'm visiting the Garden Isle.“

“Came in late (3AM to us Floridians anyway), right before closing, starving and exhausted. Ordered the 3 meat combo. Got destroyed and it was so good we stopped being tired. It's a simple place, local feel. Food is the star here. Had plenty leftover for the next morning, set us up right for the hiking the next day. I can't wait to go back.“

“Very casual restaurant on the grounds of the Pukea Golf Course. Seems like most of the clients were there to eat and not to golf. We ordered food while golfing although there are no posted signs or menus on the golf course. The veggie breakfast burrito we ordered was singularly THE BEST breakfast burrito I've EVER eaten. It was huge and was filled with fresh eggs, potatoes, spinach, cheese, mushrooms, garlic, and avocado ( extra charge). Every bite was amazing. Service was a little tricky as I did not see a pickup window for golfers. Had to get in line behind customers that had not ordered even though I could see my order sitting in a bag on the counter. Probably a 10 minute wait which can be a problem if your golfing and there are groups behind you. People working in restaurant were very nice. Ample parking in front of restaurant. Hawaiian style food looked good enough to try even if you just want to dine and not golf.“

“I love plate lunches and Oki's is a quality option. The price is mid-range but that is expected based on it being in a mall food court. You won't leave hungry as the portions are large.Kid-friendliness: Open food court and right next to an arcade. Great for families.“

“Good but not amazing. Ahi was seared and seasoned really well with still buttery raw center. Mac nut mahi mahi was ok not too flavorful, veggies on this dish was bland. Mashed potatoes really good. Poke appetizer was too creamy you can’t really taste the fish. I liked the papaya salad.“

“Decent Mom-N-Pop food joint. I got the "Sample Platter" which had homemade stew, chicken and teriyaki beef with rice. I was impressed with the stew and the chicken was decent. Large serving...had leftovers. My wife had the hamburger and she said it was great. Decent food at a fair price. I'd go back.Parking: Not many spots“

“We greatly enjoyed the Auli'i Luau n highly recommend it to anyone visiting Kauai. Their troupe of female n male dancers were impressive in their beauty, strength, energy, costumes and dance expressions of Hawaii n the various lands of Polynesia. Equally the talented musicians, instrumentalists n MC added to this amazing night.The only thing lacking was a lack of food n time to enjoy the buffet.“

“Tasty and sumptuous Hawaiian restaurant at very reasonable price. Particularly Lau Lau, chicken plate and Fish plates served with rice, Mac and cheese are worth mentioning. She has also customized for vegetable platter.As the restaurant is a small one there's no air-conditioning and rest roomVegetarian options: Good customisation“

“We were there to celebrate my husbands 50th Birthday. I wish we could have had a better table, considering I had the reservation put in two weeks earlier...BUT our waiter, Richard, was AMAZING!!! He was very attentive and super cool! In all honesty, if it weren't for him, we wouldn't be giving a good report! Thank you Richard for making my husband's 50th Birthday special! Mahalo!“

“Had the special saimin here. The broth and the noodles were great. The pork was tender and very flavorful. The wonton however was extremely disappointing and felt like reheated wonton rather than freshly made. Service was ok. Be aware that they only take cash.Wheelchair accessibility: They have wheelchair accessible tables but the doorway is barely wheelchair accessible.“

“Very nice casual spot for lunch. Gluten free items were clearly marked on the menu. The server was very knowledgeable about gluten free and made sure everything I ordered would be ok. They also kindly accommodated my fruit allergies in my mixed fruit. Food was typical but good grill food.Dietary restrictions: Very knowledgeable staff and willing to accommodate.“
