Paid by card. Mama Lucy's is located in a plaza and offers plaza parking. This place has been here forever. I remember coming here when I was in high school! I went here a couple times during the weekday for lunch and only had to wait a few minutes for the people ahead of me to order. I got the pinakbet and halo halo. So good and such big portions!! The halo halo had so many toppings inside. Yummm! I would definitely recommend this place and would go back. read more

When I'm feeling homesick, Mama Lucy's is usually where I'll end up for a hearty meal. Portion sizes and price point are unmatched, hospitality from all the aunties are probably what sells me the most - salamat! read more

Recommended by a tour guide for their banana lumpia-- which was delicious! The buy 3 / get 1 left me wanting even more. Ordered a plate of chicken adobo drumsticks and pancit--both very good. Lots of other choices as well. Friendly staff. read more

Good Filipino food - my mom likes it. We went back twice while visiting. Service friendly - did take out but they had seats and tables

Upon arrival from the mainland, we hit this restaurant because I was hungry for Filipino food. Being Filipino, eating this food should be everyday but for me, it's a special treat. The food at Mama Lucy's reminds me of home-cooked meals by my mother and older sisters. It reminded me of the good old days! For foid service, you go and order the food, they scoop it out of the pans, you pay for it and then go find a table to eat the delicious food. The ambiance is not first class but it is clean. The primary deal is the food! Its good as nd delicious! read more

My girl friend bought some tickets from a fund raiser for a 2 choice 2 person meals.So we came for lunch.It was close to closing time but there was a few good choices left.Sadly they ran out of noodles.So my girl friend got the Pork n pea's n the pinakbet.She enjoyed it a lot.The taste was just right.As for myself.I got the fried fish and blood meat.The me the blood meat was okay.It was a little bland and it could use more flavor.The fried fish wasn't so good.It was dry and it could use some kind of dipping or tarter sauce?.The portions was good!..Also the server that we had was not to friendly,Did not smile and answered in a sort of sassy tone.We figured it was almost closing time and was tried and wanted to just go home..Other than that will be stopping by again. read more

I've never met Mama Lucy but you get my 5*FIVE stars, we try to make a stop/squeeze in Mama Lucy's Kitchen when on Kauai, fantastic spot to get our Filipino Food fix in for me and especially the hubby! I came across Mama Lucy's Kitchen while doing a search and have been back since our very first visit. All staff are so friendly, they receive tons of rewards so you know it is good, there are so many different entree to choose from and if they are low they make new ones. (ex. pancit noodles) Great Filipino desserts available too. The price for plate is standard, I always go with the 3 item plate for $15. My usual plate is all pancit as carbs, chicken adobo, mungo beans for the hubby, and either go with a soup or the pig's feet adobo. Of course got to get extra rice for the hubby since he can't eat these delicious Filipino itmes without rice! Rice is life when it comes to these foods. There are tables for dining in but we always do take out before we check in to hotel, pool/jacuzzi time and so perfect for after swim meal, really hit the spot good since this is the only time we get our Filipino foods in, comfort foods! The food taste and reminds me of the all the parties and get togethers at my in laws place in Waipahu, Authentic good! My favorite, besides the pancit is the chicken adobo wings, so easy to eat, and hubby sure loves his mungo beans. Mama Lucy's Kitchen is located in Lihue, on Puhi Road, very convenient in Lihue. There are ample parking in front and on the side. Opened Monday to Fridays from 8-6, Saturdays 8-4. Closed on Sundays. I sure look forward to my upcoming visits here, check them out, good stuff and a must visit for your craving of authentic Filipino flavors! read more

We discovered this Filipino diner next door to Hanalima Bakery. Food smelled delicious and cafeteria style so there were many dishes to choose from. If we didn't already purchase from the bakery, I would have definitely got a few more dishes to go. So we ended up just getting some longganisa sausages and rice' they were so good! This little hidden gem definitely needs more exposure! read more

Portions size is good. It tasted like home made food!! So delicious. They even had pig feet soup that broke da mouth! (Onilicious)

If you're into Filipino food or if you're Mexican lol you'll love this place. The ladies are sweet and kind and feel like your tias! I tried everything from the pigs feet to the banana lumpia and the sweet dessert rice! All of it was delicious! You can take your plate to go or eat there. Either way the food tastes the same. It's a must try if you are in Kaua'i! read more

This is a straight up, down home, Filipino "turo turo" (point point) spot. If you don't know what that is, the best I can give you is you're choosing food on display behind a case, but it's not labeled and you may not know exactly what you're getting. Their pancit was the best I've had in a very long time. I pointed at what turned out to be tortang talong, or eggplant pan-fried in egg batter, or as we called it, egg eggplant. Also delicious. This was our first stop after landing in Lihue, and it most definitely hit the spot. read more

Awesome variety of dishes including dinaguan, pork gisantes, pork or chicken adobo, pigs feet, pumpkin w/green beans, squash, etc. choice of 1, 2, or 3 choices with rice, Pancit, or combo rice/pancit. Banana lumpia are buy 3, get a 4th for free. They also have other desserts. Check the photo for store hours. read more

SARAP!!! Sooo yummy. My partner had the 3 entree plate, I had the 2 entree plate. We ate inside, plenty seating. He said the longanisa was his favorite and he went back to order another serving lol. I think the chicken adobo and the sinigang na bangus were delicious. Chicken fell off the bone and I didn't notice any bones with the bangus. I also grabbed some puto to go and enjoyed that very much on the car ride to the beach. Overall, for the food quality and quantity, you will definitely leave here satisfied. Mahalo, salamat po!!! read more

This is an open area food spot. Lots of parking, quick in and out, and combo was best value on the island!

This was the best Filipino restaurant on Kauai when it opened around the early 00's, ever since the original owner along with their original staff left, the business went downhill, the quality of the food got worse, and worse, the only item worth buying is the banana lumpias read more

The staff is friendly, and the food consistently offers fresh, high-quality ingredients, with a commitment to excellent service. I have never been disappointed. read more

Me and my wife love coming here. They have the best diningding and pork adobo. We were in the island for a week and we visited this place three times. This is a must go to place when you are in Kuai hands down the best Filipino food and within the budget. read more

Halo halo was delicious! Everything was good but I've been really craving a halo halo and they make a good one. Come for friendly and quick service! The food is so good I'm planning another trip right now! Restroom is shared for the plaza and was out of service when we visited. read more

Craved Filipino food and found this little place inside an old building. Coming in there's seating for about 20 people. We came around dinner time and saw there weren't that many items available; maybe because it was close to end of the day. We ordered to go, a combo with pancit, rice, pinakbut and pork with gisantes. Food was delicious. Next time we visit here, we'll make it a point to come earlier for better selection. Friendly staff, clean restaurant. To use restrooms, you need to get a key from the vendor. read more

The best Filipino food in Kauai! Taste Authentic, I love all the dishes and the Halohalo is a must try

We stopped here because of all the great reviews. The restaurant was nice and clean and the staff were friendly. You basically pick which hot food you want (kind of like a Panda Express) and they box it up for you. I'm not too familiar with all of the dishes they server, but it was mainly chicken/pork. I guess I'm a little picky because I don't like a lot of "fatty" pieces in my food. I like my chicken/pork very lean. The food all tasted great, but there was too much "fat" in the dishes for my taste. Everyone around us was loving it, but my daughter and I ended up picking through most of the chicken and eating Pancit (which was good). Nothing bad to say about Mama Lucy's, but it's just not my bag. read more

Mama Lucy's Kitchen - Entrance. - Filipino Near Me - Lihue, Hawaii

Even on vacation, I am always on the lookout out for good Filipino food like my mama used to make. Unfortunately, they didn't have Kare Kare, so we ordered Pancit, Dinuguan, Igado, and Mungo Soup. I can't say it's the best Filipino food I've ever had, but it was more authentic than a lot of other places I've tried. The Mungo soup and Dinuguan were really good. Both dishes' flavors and consistencies were spot on.The pancit and the Igado were just okay. The pancit was kinda bland and the Igado too salty. The turon was legit! I can see why Mama Lucy's is so popular with the line 10 people deep the entire time we were there. read more

All authentic Filipino food! Super tasty and it was a pretty good portion for the price!

We asked our guide for restaurant recommendations, and he went on & on about Mama Lucy's. Thanks to him we got to enjoy authentic chicken and pork adobo. The service was fast and friendly, and the spicy vinegar sauce on the pancit is addictive! No wonder this restaurant has received the Kauai Best Award for Filipino food for several years. read more

The food is just ordinary; bland taste. We went there at 6PM, they are closing at 7:00PM. Sorry but I have had better-tasting Filipino foods. I had to drive one hour to this place to see what everyone's talking about. I would try other places that I have not been. Cheers! read more

Hello staff good day.. I have to be honest: in my opinion the adobo could use more vinegar, garlic, pepper, bay leaf. The chicken seemed like It was soaked in the flavor of only soy sauce. It was overwhelming. 2 out of 10. The monggo's taste was super bland plus it tasted like pure malungay nothing else. 1 out of 10. The pork adobo also tasted like it was only cooked in soy sauce and oil. 1 out of 10. Pinakbet was good except all the veggies were basically eggplant, few beans. 2 out of 10. The kare kare was very watery. 2 out of 10. I am not sure if this is a certain filipino province style cooking, my apologies if it is, but I am speaking in general basic pinoy cooking. Was disappointed unfortunately today. :( Hope they can improve... thank you po. read more

We came here right before they closed so there was not much food options left to choose from. The portion they give is massive. I had the 3 choices plate and selected pancit, pinakbet, and menudo. The flavors are similar to Filipino back in NY but they are not heavy on flavors. The Pinakbet doesn't have the shrimp paste flavor in it. The pork in the menudo is soft and not chewy. I shared this with another person and we were not able to finish. read more

Stopped By For A Snack And Got A Plate Lunch Instead. Being My First Time In Kaua'i, Mama Lucy's Was Along The Main Road Between Līhu'e & Po'ipo... Everything Pictured In My Review I Personally Tried And I Can Say Growing Up With A Filipino Mom, This Comes Close! flavors & All. At The Time Of This Review, No Indoor Seating! I'll Deduct .02 Stars For This... So, Still 5-Stars In My Books! LOL. Keep Up The Deliciousness, Mama Lucy! Sarap Ng Pagkain Mo! read more

This place is one of the cleanest filipino spots we've been to, with some of the nicest women working the counter! The food is also pretty darn great. We visited twice in a week, and between the whole family we had chicken adobo, pork adobo, chicken papaya (tinola) Isda, pancit, ginitang calabasa, and Turon. All the food was great. Sidenote - Turon did not have jackfruit address they mentioned some of the locals weren't a fan of it. Still tasty! I repeat - great, authentic Filipino food, clean, and great service. You typically can't find all 3 of these on the mainland so it goes without saying you can't beat this! A bit limited parking, but we were able to find a spot each time. If you come on Saturday late morning, they have a farmers market right across the street which has a great selection of fresh vegetables and fruits! read more

Filipino restaurant near the Lihue airport. A lot of food choices. We ordered the 2 choice combo and picked chicken adobo and dinuguan. Both were cooked into perfection.

I went there to get food. An employee behind the counter came out looked at me and asked the person behind me inline that how she can be helped. Then the second employee behind the counter came again looked at me and ignored me and called out another person behind me. They were so rude, unfriendly. So I left Please don't go there if you want a minimum of a decent service. read more

The food was so delicious! You're greeted with a warm smile when you first walk in and I appreciated the variety of choices. Restaurant is a no fuss, nothing fancy inside but decent and clean! Definitely recommend stopping by here if you're in Kauai! We brought some of the chicharon and peanuts home. Our parents loved it! The bico was so good too. read more
