    THE BEST ahi katsu!! Still raw in the middle and the crunch!! So damn good
    Melissa E.

    Recommended by one of our activity guides and we were not disappointed! The ahi katsu was definitely I must -have!!

    Mahi mahi and garlic shrimp
    Kathy G.

    GOOD - ahi katsu and garlic shrimp was delicious. the salad served alongside was also good and not overly seasoned. food came out quick and hot. BAD - mahi mahi was AWFUL, inedible. It was very fishy (and I like all things fish) and mostly the vein part of the fish. I'd go back but I wouldn't order the mahi mahi again.

    Truly one of the best meals I've had while visiting and I will definitely be coming back here again! Their menu had specials of the day, burgers, shrimp, fried fish, loco moco, and ahi katsu. I got the seafood combo (pick 2 entrees) and everything I had was so fresh and flavorful. The fish was so crispy and the amount of butter garlic they put on the shrimp, yum!

    Kauai garlic butter shrimp
    Diana W.

    Loved their Kauai garlic butter shrimp here. They open the shell of the shrimp on the sides which allowed a lot of the flavor to marinate the meat! It was so good! Salad on there wasn't necessary , i would have wish they had put a Mac salad instead. Definitely would recommend !

    LAVA SHRIMP. Apologies for the half-eaten plate, we got too excited to eat.
    Courtney C.

    Lava shrimp is absolutely amazing. Fresh, and full of flavor. If you came to Kauai looking for some dank garlic shrimp, this is your place. Food was so good we went back and ordered more. Rai was working the truck and was super friendly, the service was speedy. 10/10 would recommend.

    Ahi katsu

    The ahi katsu was absolutely one of the best things we had on this entire trip. For amazing food, go here! Run don't walk!!

    Ahi Katsu
    Carlyssa S.

    Best Ahi Katsu I've had. Perfectly seared. My coworkers and I frequently come here for lunch. Highly recommend.

Honestly, the wait is usually a good sign there. Your order lineup hits a nice mix: * Mandu great choice for something shareable and comforting * Korean chicken if it tasted like an ajumma made it, that's basically the highest compliment * Beef sliders can't go wrong, especially when they're "ono" That mix of Korean flavors with a casual, almost random décor (yeah, "Mexican-ish" is oddly accurate for some island spots) is part of what makes places like that memorable--kind of a cultural mashup you only really find in Hawai'i. If you ever go back, people usually rave about their: * Garlic fries * Poke-style dishes * Local beer selection Kaua'i's north shore is full of low-key gems like that, but Taps and Hops is definitely one that sticks with you

Our 5 and 7 year old boys accompanied us, and they were not wanting to leave! Sean Carrillo performed beautifully last night, our server was extremely attentive and hospitable, and the food/drinks were superb! We are already looking forward to coming back.

Maybe we caught them at a bad time, but the food and beer were mediocre at best. I enjoy trying local beers as close to the source as possible, so going to local brewpubs is something my wife and I try to do regularly. It was our third day in Kauai, so made this our lunch choice, and we were hungry after a long tour. There was plenty of parking in the dedicated lot, and it wasn't too busy when we stopped in after 1:30 on a Wednesday. We were greeted promptly and got to choose where we sat, in a picnic table with plenty of space. Chose two house draft beers: Honopu Hefeweizen ($9) which was not good...very weak and watery. But the Hanakoa Cream ale was worse ($9)...chose it because of a local cream ale from Wisconsin that I love. But it tasted more like a glass of lite pilsner, more like a Miller Lite than a cream ale. I had to finish both...should have just ordered one. The food came out a bit later. We wanted to share the local Style Smoke meat plate (sounded promising), which was a plate of pork shoulder ($16). Plenty of it, but it felt like leftover meat, reheated in a sugary sauce...looked and tasted like Tocino (which isn't my favorite), not like pulled pork/kalua pork. It came with a scoop of white rice. I got the spicy Poke ($19) which used good quality raw ahi tuna. It had lots of tasty, spicy mayo and was enjoyable. But the rice was not cooked well (it was mushy), and I had to ask myself: why has the rice been so mediocre for our first two days? (It got better as the trip went on). My wife got the Huli Huli Veg & Rice plate ($25)...not good. Just two pieces of chicken breast meat (coming from frozen) with a very light sauce (flavorless) and the carrots were big chunks, candied, which is not what we expected. Brought most of this back to our hotel (since we had a fridge), but neither one of us touched it for the rest of the trip. Pricing is inconsistent (the chicken plate should have been the cheapest item considering the ingredients and prep work). Payment was done through Toast, and there was a 3% service charge for using credit card.

    Lava Lava Beach Club - Kauai…read more New American, Seafood, Breakfast & Brunch Kapaa, HI What a charming, fun restaurant right on the beach with such great ambiance!! The service was outstanding from the hostess, bar tenders, chefs and our wonderful server, Kapua!! She was so friendly and always checked on us without being intrusive. We have been on the island for 6 nights. Each evening we have tried Mai Tai's. Lava Lava's are by far the best!!! They are not too sweet and a good pour! We got there early as the other reviews said it gets crowded and they do not take reservations. We arrived at 5 pm on a Wednesday and were seated right away closest to the beach. For our starter we had edamame which was a large portion and so good. My husband ordered the Chicken Pineapple Rice Bowl and substituted the chicken for the coconut shrimp. The rice was AMAZING as well as the shrimp, but our only complaint was the portion was very small and was served with only 3 shrimp. The picture looks like you get a lot, but it came in a carved out SMALL pineapple. The presentation was beautiful though. I had the Ceasar salad and added chicken. It was so good!!! The lettuce was so crisp! Nothing worse than a Ceasar salad with wilty romaine lettuce. I've had plenty of those in my day. This was one of the best I've ever had! Everything arrived in a timely manner. We had a great night. Side note...they offer free valet parking which is at the very top of the parking lot. I have nothing but high praises for Lava Lava's beach club!! You must check it out for yourself. You will be so happy you did!
