Went here one evening for a take out dinner. Ordering was easy online and pickup was quick and simple. We had the korean chicken and the teriyaki chicken - both were fine and could have used more sauce/flavor on the chicken. The rice and mac...salads were both good. Our mistake was getting the chicken at a fish market hehe.More

Recommended by the girl at the front desk of our hotel. Not so easy to find, just a small place. She said get the fish burrito or the bbq chicken burrito. We got both. Really, really good!! Totally enjoyed it. Spicy ahi poke and tako...poke were good. Liked the burritos much better. Will be back!More

We came here twice to buy raw fish to grill and they have almost no fish. The quality of the ahi was not great. We were happier with the fish market in Hanalei behind the Dolphin restaurant.

This place is good, not great. The teriyaki plate lunch was good, but the chicken was a kitty overcooked. The fish tacos were good. We had ono as the catch of the day. Didn’t like the shredded cheese and cabbage or the flour tortilla, I...prefer corn.More

We looked forward to revisiting after 10 years and the customer service with two employees was alarmingly awful. Ruined our night a tiny bit of Kauai nostalgia. They have totally gone downhill- employees just don't care and hope to close an hour early. Also... 1/4...lb of average poke was over $18. Folks, the poke at Foodland is the same or better with more choices at a 3rd the price. Both are counter service. Why bother with high prices and bad service?More

You must try the ahi wrap! It is absolutely delicious! The ono tacos (you get two tacos) are also very tasty.

We found this spot while in Princeville—just a short drive. Really great tuna poke. Super fresh! Ahi tacos were so so good too. Simple, casual, really delicious!

Some of the best food I’ve ever had in Hawaii. Ordered the Nairagi (striped marlin) fish plate and it was an 11/10. Absolutely amazing. This is now a must stop if coming to the north shore of Kauai.

Yummy! This was an absolutely pleasant surprise. I found them because their Ahi Wrap was featured on Food Network's: The Best Thing I Ever Ate. Admittedly, there were issues with our order with the food taking longer than normal, so we were offered a container...of poke to say sorry! The fish was so fresh and delicious. I chose the fresh catch plate (Ono) and the dipping sauces that came with it were delicious, my mouth is STILL watering! Seating is limited outdoors, but definitely still warrants a stop. Parking is plentiful in the front and back of this shopping mall.More

This was one of the better meals we had here in Kauai. Got a poke platter with 3 sides. It was all so good especially the poke.

We have eaten here for years but had our worst experience ever today. 8 adults, 1 child for in person outdoor dining. Looked like they had enough people working when we ordered…. Said close to 30 minute wait. Okay…. Well 4 adults got their food...in 20ish min and the child and other adults ended up waiting over 1 hour and 15 minutes. My 6 yr old was having a melt down so at 50 min I asked if I could get the keiki plate and was told sure, 3 min. Again it took the entire 75 minutes and it probably was even longer! Now they said shift change and big orders came in but a man who ordered AFTER me got his 2 plates before me and said to me have you got your order yet? I said no “and I thought you ordered after me” to which he said “I did.” And the food wasn’t up to par today either! UGH. I UNDERSTAND we’re on island time but a local woman who knows the owner was not happy with waiting over an hour either.More

Oh my, mouth watering ono tacos! We loved their ono plate! The best on the island! Outside seating available, very tranquil vibe. Friendly staff. We ordered in advance since this place can get very busy. If you walk in, you may have to wait at...least half an hour. Best to call and order and then pick up.More
