    Po's kitchen was one of a few places open in the morning where we could take out some food and bring it back for breakfast. Best thing is it's right next to a donut shop where we can get donuts too! The order is from a window, plates come in a box, and no sit down tables. Food was good, could have been a little more fresh. The noodle Mac salad was the best thing I had, no tuna if anyone was wondering. The side of the day was long rice which wasn't like Hawaiian king rice but more shoyu long rice. My sister said the hash was good. The shrimp tempura was a piece of shrimp tempura fried not long like the kind that come in sushi. The chicken was cold but ok tasting. Wish the sushi had furikake on it. The cone sushi was good, needed a bit more rice packed in it. The spam musubi was good. My sister got the sushi roll but that was filled with dried fish and not my thing. The wait wasn't long so it must be prepared before hand. A definite try to get some food before a long drive to the other side the island.

    Edible (mostly) but not very good. Best thing was the mac salad and the rice. Things that should have been hot were room temp, shrimp was fried ages ago and sat around so the coating was squishy and cold instead of crunchy. Very friendly and kind server (owner?) It was fast and interesting but I would not go back.

    Small box lunch. 2 scoops rice, Mac salad, luncheon meat, chicken wing, Teri meat, okoko, nishime, hotdog

    Formerly Po's Kitchen. Delicious box lunch. They have 3 sizes- small, regular, large. They also offer maki sushi, cone sushi, spam musing, and goteburg. The chicken is tasty, spaghetti Mac salad is just right, Furikake on the 2 musubi, luncheon meat, Teri beef (chewy), and fried noodles. The regular box includes egg and more of the above listed items. Friendly and efficient service! Sorry, I missed photos, we were hungry, LOL.

    The lunch box is Kauai's favorite pre-packed and ready to go meal. It's all about convenience and familiar food here. There's nothing weird or surprising in this meal packed in the white box and it's a fun way to try small bites of a lot of different things that you might not order on the regular. Down to the piece of red hot dog, this is 100% local food. The lunch box is a Garden Isle classic, a convenient and portable meal to grab on the way to the airport. Even the Yelp critics here would agree that Po's is definitely better than what you could get at LIH!

    Po's Kitchen serves up local style okazuya plates (i.e., Japanese-style delicatessen common in Hawaii). It's so hard to find places like this on other islands as old-school okazuya's close down. I was not disappointed with the "deluxe plate," see photo. It's a walk up and order place, with a takeaway window. I showed up around 12:30. The line was short and my food was ready in minutes. I drove to a nearby park and enjoyed every bite.

    After many years away from the island, I finally had a chance to grab a box lunch from a place I'd grab from growing up. Saw that it was new owners. But I'm glad I was able to grab some food. I like this box lunch better than before. Good luck to the new owners. I look forward to visiting again on future trips back home.

    Have you ever tried a box lunch in Hawaii? If you haven't or are looking for the bomb.com food, I highly recommend DJ's Box Lunch. You can order items individually, but a regular or deluxe box comes with the standard...chicken, rice, salad, pickled veggies, luncheon meat, hot dog, teri beef, and a side dish...the deluxe comes with fried shrimp. Come hungry because I promise you, after you eat this box, you'll be full! Side note..this is a take out order business only.

    Coworker and I came here for something quick for lunch! Service was fast, aunty at the counter was chill and made sure to check if I needed one drink. Food was "broke da mouth" for one box lunch! Everything in the regular was mayjah!! I liked the chicken especially! My coworker got the deluxe with da shrimp! Affordable prices and portions! Kauai as why yessah

    Musubi
    Nicole W.

    This is what I call come sushi! We stopped here because kiddos wanted musubis and aren't fans of 711. Loved that the cone sushi wasn't soggy and was the size of my palm! The auntie at register was very nice as well even though we weren't ordering a bunch of stuff she was still very nice with aloha! We will definitely be back to try their boxes! Customer in front got 4 boxes and everything inside looked freshly cooked (unlike many other okazuya places) and delicious!

    Deluxe box with shrimp, chicken, spam, egg, beef, rice, noodles and cold macaroni salad.

    Fast service, food is consistently good and you can guarantee that you will be full after a box lunch! It's a walk up window, grab and go.

    Perfect place to start this rainy Kauai weekend! It was 3 minutes away from where we were, the Sixt…read moreRental Cars. They have a great selection of Breakfast and Lunch/Dinner options. The prices are very reasonable! We probably saved $3-10 off each plate coming from Maui. My dad got the LauLau Plate and said the meat was soft and moist and my mom NEVER annihilates her food and she literally ate every bite of her Steamed Fish which was Catfish today. It had this yummy soy or sesame sauce with some green onions and ginger on top. My Oxtail Soup with Rice was perfect for the cold rainy day. Delicious pieces of fall off the bone oxtail and I literally dumped all the cilantro and ginger in the hot broth. Mom and I had a bit of a fuzzy throat so we got the Calamansi Juice with Honey which was delicious! As you sip, you taste pieces of Calamansi and see swirls of seeds and calamansi skin. If you like pulp, you'd enjoy this refreshing drink. We ended the meal with 4 pieces of hot egg tarts! I'm surprised they had them because when I go to Oahu, there's some spots where you special order them on the weekends. Overall, a delicious local spot here in Lihue!

    Lots of locals dining in! Must be good…read more.. Only one waitress working the entire restaurant, but doing a commendable job! And she was smiling... After getting our ice water, cutlery and menus, we quickly settled on the French toast breakfast, which included fluffy French toast, bacon, and 2 eggs cooked to order. Ono! Added apple juice to the meal. Happy, full, and satisfied! Woo hoo!

    When stopping by Lihue, we were looking for a place where you can get some delicious poke quickly,…read moreand The Fish Express popped up as an interesting option to stop by. We went on a Saturday around lunchtime and it wasn't too busy. There is a small parking lot near the restaurant on the left hand side. It was filled when we first got there, but we were luckily able to get a spot. I could see this lot filling up quickly during other meal rush hours, so do take note if you plan on driving. The ordering is done like your typical poke place, you tell the service worker what you would like and there's a small toppings bar at the end before the cashier. There was a small line when we went, and even with the line, it still only took about 5-10 minutes to get our food. There isn't interior seating in the restaurant though, you will have to get your food take out, or just eat in the parking lot. I got the 3 scoops of poke option for $15.25, and I think that this is a pretty solid deal for the variety of fish that you can try out! I think based on my personal experience on Kaua'i, it will be difficult to get food, especially poke at a reasonable price. But for this price, it's probably the best place on the island to get poke without paying $20+ for the same variety. The fish tasted fresh, and I am a fan of the selection of toppings they had. If you are in the Lihue area and looking to try some poke at a reasonable price, I would recommend The Fish Express! There seems to be a decent amount of other interesting looking options on the menu, and if I'm ever in the area again, I would totally give them a try!

    excellent, fresh, delicious…read more adding more characters to post thisssssssssssssssssss
