“OMG, this place is amazing!!! I got the Kalena plate with potatoes, kimchee, and sprouts, and everything was awesome. The meat jun was my favorite, but honestly, everything was top-tier. The side options were almost overwhelming because I wanted to try them all. On top of that, the service was so lovely and pleasant, and the place itself was incredibly clean. I’ll definitely be dreaming about this plate lunch for a while.“

“12/2025
I happened upon this quaint, friendly and fast place by accident. Located next to Inkspot, people drive by for a really quick and onolicious pickup. They offer 3 simple bentos that offer a quick but wide variety of food. Drop by to get your quick fix to start your day. They open at 6am. D, one of the owners was really informative and helpful. And the food offerings is what attracts your eye at their prices. Not overly huge but very reasonable and economical portions in these trying times. A nice niche option just minutes from anywhere in town and the airport. Onolicious! 😉🤙✌️“

“Stopped into Costco last night upon landing in Kauai to stock up for the week. We were informed by the checker that the food court and bakery are closed for renovation. We were still able to stock up on treasures in other departments. I thought I would pass the information along so future travelers can plan accordingly.“

“Amazing food Great drinks“

“Me and my boyfriend went here for lunch. I ordered fried wontons and orange chicken. This place gave off major mom and pop vibes, and we loved the humble aspect to it. We received very big portion sizes for what we paid for, and the food came out less than five minutes after we ordered it! The place was mostly empty so the waitress was super quick to refill water, bring us the bill, and to-go boxes.
Everything was very yummy!“

“Excellent and authentic Thai Food“

“One of the only restaurants(if not THE only restaurant) that is a must eat during return visits to Hawaii. Really wish there were locations in our area.“

“Awesome atmosphere. Great Service and the best we have ever had on any of the cruises“

“We were on island and craving noodles, asked around to find a more authentic hole-in-the-wall /grandma's kitchen type place, and this is it. No fuss, family kitchen counter style seating, cash only, limited menu (as in these are always the favorites, so don't fuss with the rest), and the quality is high. Between everyone in our group , we essentially sampled every dish on the menu and dessert, and everything was great. Glad we found this place by recommendation, and hope to guide more people to it.“

“Great food awesome service! Best Poke bowl I've ever eaten.“

“The atmosphere was extraordinary. This is a mom and pop restaurant, all family works here. So my water abd coffee were always filled. Plates and tables constantly cleaned. The family worked together as one. I was in awe. The macaroni salad was the best I tasted on four islands. I got the waffles with blueberry inside. Seriously wonderful taste with fresh rip berries. My son enjoyed the blueberry pancakes. The portions are large. Enjoy.“

“Salad bar and music ambience is amazing and breathtaking.“

“Dominos pizza Kauai is the best! The food is always great and the service is always beyond exceptional. My daughter just had her first ever party with friends! She had it at Dominos. She loves the food and the team there! She and her friends had a blast! They got a VIP tour and some Dominos swag! Thank you sooooo much to the team at our Lihue Dominos We love you guys! ❤️❤️❤️❤️😎😎“

“This is definitely a must go to when in kauai. I just love the simple quick and efficient service and the quality of food they serve.“

“Love the food here. You gotta be there really early for the full spread of rolls, I love the spicy crab, portuguese sausage, or flying saucers. They’re prepared food is great too, I love the kim chee fried rice omelet or the brisket bomb. Been coming here for years, owners are really kind hardworking people. My favorite breakfast spot in lihue!“

“Ahi tacos are amazing and big!“

“It was absolutely delicious! I can’t remember exactly what I ordered… Spicy Tofu with Charsiu and it was INCREDIBLE! Will have to visit again on another holiday!“

“Great experience and views“
