Da Booze Shop was a great surprise we stumbled upon while going to the market down the road. We…read morewaited about 15 minutes for our food, and the staff was genuinely friendly from the moment we walked in til the moment we left. Me and my friend split the mahi katsu and the Kekkahot chicken, and both were excellent. The mahi was cooked perfectly, with a light crispy batter that let the fish stay juicy and tender topped with their furikake blend and sauce it's a perfect plate lunch food. The Kekkahot chicken was just as impressive. If you've had Zippy's Korean Chicken, imagine that but better. The chicken was incredibly moist, the breading stayed crunchy, and the savory sauce coated everything without making it soggy. The only thing that kept this from being a 5 star visit was the mac salad. It was a little bland for my taste, not bad by any means, just average compared to how good everything else was. That being said, I'd definitely come back especially for that mahi katsu.

While I understand there might have been only a few waiters available, however Sai was incredibly slow especially towards the end of the night. My husband's meal which was the special was forgotten and Sai admitted he forgot to put the order in. Everyone at the table finished their meals before my husband got his. You'd expect that a restaurant that had admitted their wrong doing would generally take off the order or offer some type of compensation. NOPE. I had to ask for it, actually I demanded it. The cocktails the bartender made were delicious. Go home Eugene was really good. Dessert: yes we were told the two options for the cookies you could choose from the ice cream "Sando" however we were not informed what the ice cream flavors were to which it was pistachio and if I had known that was the only option I might have asked for something else.

It's a purely local, grab-and-go counter--there's no dine-in seating here, so we packed up our food and brought it straight back to our resort to eat. In terms of value and quality, this is easily the best spot in the Lihue area. We got two Poke bowls and a traditional Lau Lau for around $45 total, tax included. The Poke here is fresh, flavorful, and straightforward--they charge a fixed price per bowl rather than weighing it. My husband tried the Lau Lau as well, though honestly, the Poke bowl on its own was super generous and completely filling. An authentic local spot!

Have an idea what you want bc it's a bit intimidating since the line moves fast. There are also pre-made rolls and other food items displayed on the middle table inside. I got the spicy ahi poke bowl and it was served with rice. Generous portions. You can get ginger chicken by the piece, and it's delicious! Don't think I've tasted that before. Decided to try the crab inari and that was unique! Leaves a buttery, greasy finish with a sweet tone that I highly recommend trying. I did remove a star because our cashier dropped the inari on the floor (which was in a plastic container) and I thought she was going to replace it, but she said "oh its okay!" and brushed off the dust and placed it in our bag. Yes, the inari was protected in plastic, but it was kinda gross to wipe off the grime that was on the plastic container. Overall, friendly and quick service. Conveniently located near the airport!
