Got the butter fish, unagi don and geisha sushi. Very flavorful and very generous portions for their prices. Was referred to by a friend and they were right about this place. Amazing

We found our new favorite restaurant in Kauai. What an amazing dinner our party of six had! The butter fish I ordered was hands down the best fish I’ve ever had and cooked to perfection. “Nosumi” our server was the best. WOW!

The staff are very friendly and the interior is clean. It seems to be a popular spot for locals. Most dishes are reasonably priced, but the one I ordered felt a bit expensive. Unlike many places in Hawaii, they only offer white rice (no brown rice option). Parking is limited, but you can usually find free parking nearby. Food can be a little salty, but overall a good experience.

Our family likes to support local spots and picked this amazing restaurant out of the blue. We had an absolute amazing dinner. The udon was my youngest daughter’s favorite. My older daughter almost finished her giant cali roll. My father in law really enjoyed the chicken. Thank you again! Overall such an amazing meal. This restaurant has been open since the 70’s y’all! Congrats and mahalo!

I had been to Kiibo a few times before their recent remodel. The food and service were always great, especially since authentic Japanese food is hard to find when we visit Kauaʻi (from Maui).
I was back on Kauaʻi last week, and I remembered that their social media said they were now open for lunch. So, we decided to go…
…EXCELLENT CHOICE! The remodel is absolutely stunning—well-lit, chic, with an authentic and welcoming feeling. Something you’d expect to see in Honolulu or even Japan.
The food was also excellent. Something as seemingly simple as good zaru soba and tempura are amazingly difficult to find in Hawaiʻi in general (the soba is often mushy, and the tempura is more thickly battered okazu style). But, at Kiibo, the soba was perfectly chewy…it, along with the tempura, was basically identical to what I often eat in Japan.
My dining partner ordered the katsu and said it was basically the same what he has gotten in Japan…just a little larger.
If you’re on Kauaʻi, and you’re craving delicious authentic Japanese food, I highly recommend Kiibo!

We found this place while looking for less touristy spots on the island and we’re so glad we did. The food was seriously delicious! The beef teriyaki dish was perfect. The sauce is top quality, it was sweet and light…I wish I could bottle it up and take it home. The shrimp tempura is a must order. Overall the best meal we’ve had in a while. We are already planning to go back next week!

Really good and authentic Japanese food. Really enjoyed everything from the miso soup to the main dish. Even the side plate fries were delicious. It’s a little funny that beer is cheaper than a soda, but I’m not going to complain haha. Recommend checking this place out. There was about a 30 minute wait, but it was well worth it. Also, I had left something behind and they were closed. But the dishwasher grabbed it and saved the day.

Wanted authentic Japanese before heading back to the mainland. This place did not disappoint! The service was great, the food was fantastic and every table was filled on a random Thurs. Great find!

Waited 15 minutes, not very busy, but no complaints there.
Sat down, and our drink order wasn’t even taken by the time people seated after us (went straight in after us when only 1 party of 2 left) had their food. Over 45 minutes of our night wasted and the very first time we got up and walked out of a resturaunt.
Waitress wouldn’t even look in our direction when we tried to make eye contact. Our menus were closed on the table. Pretty awful after a long day of work and spur of the moment decision to try a spot we have wanted to for a year and a half now and haven’t found the time.

This is probably our favorite restaurant in Lihue and definitely one of the best sit-downs on the island. My family came for dinner after looking for a meal a little different from Hawaiian BBQ and sushi.
Our Katsu and Tonkatsu were tender with a light, flaky, well-seasoned crust. Butterfish was just flaky enough and rich; it was simmered in a light sweet soy-based sukiyaki sauce that was a tasty change from the typical miso marinaded black cod. I’ve had Tofu Agedashi plenty before, but here I tried their concept of a Katsu Agedashi as part of the two dish combination with Butterfish — dashi broth is sweet, lightly salted, and a nice light alternative to ordering Katsu curry or Tonkatsu.
Both the authentic food, portions, and friendliness of our table service impressed us a ton. Might just be back for a second visit this trip.
