this was a delicious spot recomended to us by our napali experience guides Manu and Rocky! we ordered the Katsu the eggplant and the Chicken pesto sandwhich. all of which were devoured in minutes. the katsu was perfectly cooked and the sauces were devine. the pesto was so fresh tasting it was as if it came from a garden right outside. the family runned operation were very friendly and kind. we also had some cookies(snickerdoodle and peanutbutter) for dessert and they did not dissapoint. the POKE ONION RINGS WERE AMAZING!!!! all in all this was an incredible location. we didnt wait long for our food and we left full and happy

Hands down the best place on the island to try truly unique dishes! We ended up here completely by accident, and the place was super busy. Even so, they managed to seat and serve us within about 20 minutes, which was impressive. Ambience inside is really cozy. We ordered the ahi katsu, split pea soup with smoked tomato, an ice cream sandwich, and sushi. Everything was absolutely delicious, especially the ahi katsu - easily the standout. There was that much fish we even needed more rice! The sushi had this unreal sauce with roe on top that made it next level. Highly recommend this spot, just make sure to come before 3 pm!

We came to this place and really enjoyed it. The food was delicious, fresh, and served quickly. The service was great — the staff was very friendly and flexible, and the atmosphere was nice and comfortable. Overall, we had a great time and would gladly return.

What a gem! The lunch selection and presentation were all A++. My ahi katsu plate was first, delicious - the fish was not over cooked, goes extremely well with the pickles and side salad or was paired with. Second, portion is generous and I’m glad it already came in a to-go container. This part of Hanepepe has a lot going on. This restaurant, other businesses on this stretch and the local area is worth a visit when you’re on Kauai

Over 200 reviews and a 4.9 rating — that’s the kind of place that sets expectations high. So yeah, it was only a matter of time before I came in for lunch and finally tried their poke. First impression? Busy. Like, really busy. There was a line just to get inside and then another wait to actually get a table. At first it feels a bit chaotic, and you quickly realize the space is small and probably not designed for this kind of tourist traffic. But here’s the twist — they take your order while you’re in line. So by the time a table opens up, your food is already on the way. Total wait for us was about 20 minutes, which honestly felt fair given how packed the place was. Now the food. This was, without exaggeration, the best poke I’ve had so far. Perfectly fresh fish, balanced seasoning, not
