This place has been highlighted enough to warrant a reservation sometimes weeks in advance. We booked a dinner reservation for Friday so we could partake in the local art night afterwards. (Hanapepe 5-8 on Friday nights) The atmosphere is tucked away cozy and fun to be in.
So why the 3 stars? While the staff was friendly and engaging we personally found the food to be overpriced for the portion and flavor. I would only eat here if you are planning on dropping $100 or more. My husband and I each got a sushi roll. While they were fresh and enjoyable, we spent $50 on what was essentially a snack.
On an island where sushi is fresh and abundant – I feel the price point was off for the portion. If we had been wowed by the flavor it could have been a different story.

We went during Happy Hour and sat outside. Delicious food. We had their veggie tempura, poke bowl, dragon fruit yuzuade and papaya pineapple Mai Tai. Our server was friendly and attentive. This was our first time here but we will definitely be back.

This was our first meal after landing in Kauai and it did NOT disappoint! All of the food was delicious from the karaage which was so tender with a delicious eel sauce to the golden dragon sushi role to the crispy rice appetizer. Our cocktails were amazing and tasted so fresh as well, plus we got to hang out with a local stray cat who came up to us for pets! I can’t recommend this place more highly! Pro tip, they will cover the cost of your meal if you adopt the stray cat haha!

A wonderful local restaurant with garden dining in historic Hanapepe. Went for happy hour and got seated right away. Everything was delicious but we thought their $45 sashimi bento was too steep for the small amount we got. Other than that it was ono and will be back!

Even though they were very busy, we had multiple people check on us to make sure we had everything we needed. The patio was spacious and live music was nice. The food was fresh and my matcha cocktail was unique, refreshing and absolutely delicious. What we will remember the most is our lovely server going above and beyond! She also helped us with menu recommendations and other recommendations for our trip.

We had reservations for 6 and arrived early. The hostess was kind enough to accommodate our early arrival and sat us right away. We ordered a variety of menu items – rolls, specials, soup, sashimi and more. Appetizers were delivered to table in two waves. The entree items were staggered and quite delayed – one person in our party ended up eating alone because her roll came so late. We had no service – any requests or follow up were because we had to request our missing items. Same with our check – we had to ask and we waited 15 Minutes and had to track someone down. 20% gratuity automatically added food was average – nothing stood out and was exceptional. Perhaps we caught them on a night when they were short staffed in kitchen and wait staff?

We really liked this restaurant! We started with a special roll and two sashimi dishes everything was wonderful. They have outdoor seating with music, which made for a great atmosphere. Service was fast and very good. There are a few parking spots on the street, and they have happy hour from 3 to 5 with discounts on some drinks and rolls. Great spot

Pretty outdoor seating with a nice atmosphere. Good cocktail and friendly service. When ordering, our server recommended a baked fish entree special. This dish was overcooked, underseasoned and served before the sushi rolls and salad which seemed odd. Our server was kind enough to take this dish off the bill which we appreciated. The sushi was fine and cucumber salad was delicious.

We had heard about this restaurant and wanted to try it, but it was tough to find! It’s tucked away in the back of a building with only a small sign at the entrance. The restaurant itself is a cute backyard conversion. We ordered a few sushi rolls, and they were fresh and delicious. If you’re in that area of the island, it’s not a bad spot to grab some food.

The atmosphere here is wonderful! There’s live music, a cozy patio in the back and nice lighting. The food, especially the poke, is fresh and delicious. The Chicken Karaage is also really tender and pairs well with its sauce. Highly recommend coming, just the food is a little pricey.
