Best sushi bar. Lively atmosphere! On restaurant side or at their bar — great steak fries, family style salads, in-house made dressings. Their signature ginger margaritas are delicious. I’ve heard lately that their poke appetizer is good; but fish dishes are sometimes over-cooked.
Go for lunch or dinner...in Hanalei near river.
Great takeout side with sushi hand-rolls to order ahead and fresh fish to take home and grill yourself.

Gas is the cheapest here and so is FOOD.
Kauai food prices are really high. But stopping by Costco after you hit the airport really helps!
