Poke Restaurants near Lihue, HI

“This is the best Poke on island, I have gone to most of the others, but I kind of just went once. Lawai'a though I keep coming back to. Their best stuff is the bottom row of poke, it is their most unique flavors, and all really good. Their smoked fish is also really good. I also often get their hot food, which changes constantly in selection, their fired chicken and salmon belly is tasty.
The staff is friendly, when I got some ama ebi from them to cook, when I came back for poke they asked about what I did with them.“

“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!“

“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!“

“Absolutely solid tacos. I had the fish tacos and the tuna tostadas—everything was delicious. The fish tasted super fresh, and the tacos came out hot, which made them even better. Crushed them.
The habanero sauce is spicy but really good if you’re into heat. Also super filling—definitely leaves you satisfied. Overall, a really solid choice for tacos on the island. Tons of flavor and worth checking out.“

“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!“

“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! 👏👏👍“

“I told my wife we were going to a food truck that I had read about for lunch. She was a little skeptical, but said sure, let’s go. So glad we did. The food was so delicious! And the portion size was so generous. When you are on the south shore of Kauai, please don’t miss this gem.“

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

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

“We are staying at the Grand Hyatt and hadn’t tried Hale Nalu. Glad we did! Enjoyed the “Shrimp-wreck salad”. Someone told us they put way too much dressing on it, so we ordered it on the side. Glad we did! Only used about half of what they gave us. My wife got the Kauai garden salad. Also very good. And for good measure, we tried out the house made hummus. Worth it!“
