Rated 3.5 stars 10/19/23 Small Filipino mom & pop shop in Lihue, serving cooked foods (turo-turo) and baked goods. Today we arrived nearly at closing (which is at 3 pm) just checking it out. The shopkeeper is friendly & fairly attentive. All i see that's left is a few mochi, a few mini cassava tarts, mung bean hopia & ensaymada. I inquired if they have hot pandesal & she says they do. Furthermore, I asked if they sell half or a dozen per order & she said I could get 3 pieces for a dollar...SOLD! LoL I just wanted to try if they're any good and we can't eat all of their dozen (but Hubby can eat 4-5 pieces in one sitting if it's the Pampanga Bakery hot pandesal). I noticed an olive-greenish looking square next to the hopia & she said it's mochi-an Ilocos (sur or norte, not sure) specialty so I picked one package just to try. They sell other items like Star margarine, ketchup, coconut milk , and some fresh veggies like eggplant, bitter melon & I think it's called 'sigarilyas'. The kindly lady promptly thanked me as I was leaving & off I went. There's plenty of parking & this store is sandwiched between Daddy O''s and a laundry mat. There's also a pho shop at the end of the strip mall. The pandesal was alright, small & light, unlike what we're used to at the mainland. Somehow I think it's not fresh out of the oven but it would go great if U toasted it lightly ir if I dunked in in coffee:)). The mochi? That one I actually liked, its chewy, not too sweet & unlike what I've tasted before. I think there's bits of coconut in it. Perhaps next time I will get to try & taste their cooked foods.

Pork adobo.

I really enjoyed most of the baked goods, especially the sweet rolls and mochi. The prepared food (we had pork adobo and fried pork with rice) were very good, but way too salty. With the rice, it was just a little too salty. We also tried a couple of sticky rice sides, and those were pretty good, as well.

Pandesal!

OMG. The Pandesal is to die for! This little local bakery is a ramshackle set up full of goodies

Pork adobo,Penukbet n chicken with bitter melon leaves..Action!!.Authentic Filipino cooking.

Great atmosphere and excellent service! My aunty ordered all the food for the table, but I didn't get to picture everything cause we started eating as soon as it all hit the table. We got fried pork chops, sweet and sour pork, stuffed eggplant in black bean sauce, beef in Szechuan sauce, gau gee mein, honey walnut shrimp, and saimin for my daughter. The portions were humongous!!! The food tasted out of this world, and everything came out so super fast I didn't even get a chance to take pictures of it all. Let me tell you that all the awards posted on their wall that they won, are well earned and deserved! If you want good Chinese food and affordable prices...this is THE place. We ordered ala carte, but they do have individual lunch and dinner plates that were well priced and packed plates. This is our new go to place on Kauai when we come back!!!!

We went twice the week we were in Kauai. Some of the best…read moreChinese food I have had in a long time. Service is great food is super good, it's served piping hot and very quickly, and there's plenty of parking behind the restaurant. You should check it out.
