Really really expensive! We ordered a sushi boat and had a little bit of sushi as in 4 tiny pieces in each cubby. It was so small we had to go over to the Italian and get a pizza to fill us up. It was also $130 dollars and the servers were rude and slow! A must avoid spot unfortunately

We ordered Thai basil fried rice, but it was extremely oily and didn’t taste good. Don’t rely on the review, they offer free dessert for a 5-star rating, which is even mentioned on the menu.

Sushi is good but the rest of the menu is bad. The service staff is really rude right from the beginning rushing us to order. They forgot our drinks until we mentioned them and they rushed us to leave for cleaning at 9:20pm even if they close at 9:30pm while my partner is not finished with his drink. Don't recommend this place.

They charged 20% large party fee on 5 of us without notifying. I’m ok with the 20% but since we didn’t know, we had to pay double tips. There are windows widely open next to us where there’s no protection at all and they are on the 2nd floor. It’s scary because we have little kids and infant. Plus the food is average. There’s egg shell in the pineapple fried rice.

I don’t think this place gets enough credit, it’s so good. I’m staying at the Royal Sonesta and it’s across the street and I will eat here over the sushi restaurant at the hotel any day. The sushi is amazing as well as their pad Thai. Service is attentive.

I went here twice in one day because it was so good. The rolls are next level, the pad tai is so good. And they’re fast! Not to mention the spicy mayo… mmmmmmm mmm mmm

I wanted to like this place, but it's a bit difficult to do that when everything you attempt to order is unavailable and the service is about as warm as a cold plunge. When I realized food wasn't in the cards, I purchased one of the only beers they had left and called it a day. My friend across from me who decided to still give it a go confirmed the food was squarely below-mid. There are better options all over the island to be sure.

Food was great! Service could be improved. We were told not to order any sushi because the wait would be very long, so we ordered from the Thai menu. Once everyone else got their dishes, I was informed they were out of my chicken curry. I got the tom kha after waiting a while and it was great. We were offered mango sticky rice, then when we asked for an order, were told they didn’t have any.

As soon as we landed at Lihue, my husband and I came to this restaurant for dinner. I had the pineapple fried rice and vegetarian spring rolls! The food was absolutely delicious and fresh. Loved the ambience as we were seated facing the water and coconut trees in the background! The hosts are very friendly and welcoming! Strongly recommend!

Terrible food. Food either had no salt, or way too much salt or too sweet. Absolutely bland and tasteless.
The drinks basically tasted like diluted versions of commercially available juices at Safeway.

Worst restaurant experience in over a decade. We had a reservation a month in advance, with no table ready when we arrived. We were there for two hours simply because it took that long to get our food and didn’t get a single water refill. One of us didn’t get our meal until everyone else had been finished for over 40 minutes. There was no apology, or acknowledgement of any kind. We watched at least 8 other parties come and go. Once the food was finally delivered it was truly some of the worst Thai food any of us had ever had. They were also out of all fountain drinks, all beers on tap, multiple juices, mint, the list goes on. Seems like all their income must be going towards buying reviews. Save yourselves.
