I tried one of their signature rolls, J on Fire Roll. The deep fried sushi is certainly unconventional for me, but it turned out to be tasty with a fun, chewy texture that I really enjoyed. My husband liked his Monster Poke Bowl as well.
We were glad the restaurant was open on New Year’s Day. We walked in without a reservation, but thankfully we were seated right away, and the server Jaja was friendly despite the busy crowd.
From a traveler’s perspective, what stood out the most was the sense of community — it felt like a cozy local spot where friends run into each other, greet each other warmly, and even exchange friendly words with the chef.

The basil fried rice is the perfect amount of spice—not too spicy, yet spicy enough that you can feel the heat. The seafood pad see ew was also really good, so I definitely recommend that. Their sushi is pretty fresh. The interior is well lit and when we dined, it was pretty busy.

God is Amazing! We had the best tasting sushi we have ever had here! It’s so mouthwatering and filled with different flavors. The fried banana dessert was delicious. This is a memorable place and we will stop once in Kauai again.

I love coming to this location as well as the one in Kapa’a. The lihue location does have a bit more items on the menu but the food here is just as good. My family and I’s favorite thing to get is the Larb chicken, extremely authentic and soooo yummy! good quality sushi and the friendliest service, highly recommend coming here for lunch or dinner!

Small little place serving up great Thai food! We began with their homemade Shrimp and Pork Shumai and it was outstanding! I loved how it was slightly crispy and the sauce was perfect. For my meal I had the Pad Thai and it was excellent not too oily with a good flavor. My hubby had the Crispy Ono Chicken with Red Curry sauce on the side. We are not very familiar with curry so he got it on the side and it was delicious. Service was attentive and friendly! Would love to return if ever in Kauai again!

Top notch service and hands down the best sushi roll I’ve ever had(samurai roll). The nigiri was flawless and the poke bowl was out of this world. Edamame was served hot and the fried ice cream was the icing on the cake. Well priced. I couldn’t have asked for better anything anywhere.

We had such an amazing experience here! From the moment we walked in, the service was outstanding — calm, fast, and incredibly attentive without ever feeling rushed. Every staff member made us feel welcome, and the overall atmosphere was so warm and relaxing.
The food was seriously the best we had on the entire island. Every dish was packed with flavor, beautifully prepared, and tasted so fresh. We kept catching ourselves saying, “This is the best meal we’ve had here!” over and over again.
If you’re looking for a place with exceptional service and unforgettable food, this restaurant is an absolute must. We’ll definitely be coming back
