Recent visit to Kauai and their Korean style dish with an island twist were AMAZING!!!! The Kalena special was my favorite because I could sample 3 to 4 main dish (Kalbi, meatjun, bbq chicken and pork belly) and loved how we can select three homemade sides. I selected the Mac salad, fish cakes, noodles and I got to taste the cucumber, eggplant plant and seaweed salad too! You know the place is good when lots of locals go there to eat!!!! It’s close to Lihue airport, but make sure you go there before 2 pm M-F only!!! CASH ONLY!!!OHANA definitely love what they do!!!!Kid-friendliness: Local and family owned restaurant with plenty of Aloha!!!

What a wonderful place for great food! We were immediately greeted by a smiling face. Found out she was one of the owners. Wow! An owner who puts in her time and sweat to make sure her restaurant gets the best service. The food was amazing! We ordered a plate of Meat Joon and a Kalena special. The portions were huge! I had 3 meals from that one plate! Loved the taste of everything. The sides were great and also big portions. My favorite was the seaweed salad and mac salad (best i have had...anywhere!). The service was exceptional. Bring cash cuz they do not take credit cards.

The service was great and the food was delicious! They give more than enough and it's priced reasonably. There are some tables to eat inside and some seats for while you wait. Extra plus of getting to pick your own 4 sides (and they're all super tasty). Definitely will come back again!

Very good food, fish and meats. Sides of Seaweed salad, macaroni salad, pickled radish and cucumbers are so good amongst many side dishes to choose from. A must to visit and eat in Kauai.
