Dear Unko's Kitchen,…read more Everything about your place is lovely. Visiting Kauai is a once in a lifetime experience, and to taste your roasted pork was emotional because realistically speaking, I might never be back in your restaurant again. The service was kind and it felt like we were eating in your family's dining room. Although you had a sign up that said you were short staffed, it certainly did not feel that way. Thank you so much for the best meal we have had on the island!

There was that much fish we even needed more rice! The sushi had this unreal sauce with roe on top that made it next level. Highly recommend this spot, just make sure to come before 3 pm!

Today, it's a sleepy town with art galleries, restaurants, gift shops and auto parts stores. Nestled in the corner of a former hotel and brothel is Longies. Offering refreshing and delicious (and legal) delights, it's somewhat of an oasis in a hot and dry region. On this visit, I had the Longies special, which is a bed of vanilla ice cream with shave ice flavored with Blue Hawaii, haupia (Hawaiian coconut pudding) and ube. There's also a vanilla cold cream cap on top of the shave ice. The place is family run with parents and their kids serving you with nothing but genuine West Side aloha. Ignore the reviews on other sites that say it's "lightly flavored water." This place is great.
