The combo plate included chicken, hamburger steak, and kalua pork, white rice and mac salad. Winner! The hamburger steak was tasty and the gravy was smooth. Don't like all meat patties because it's tough. This patty was home made and delicious! And kalua pig is all the same, right? NO WAY!!! This kalua pig was different, better, with flavor most intriguing and inviting you to eat more! How amazing is that?! Even the chicken was ono. And the mac salad was fresh and full of flavor too. Usually, mac salad is not my thing, but I found myself taking more than one bite! Will definitely be back for more great food on our next Kauai adventure! Keep up the great cooking! Woo hoo!

Super fresh, flavorful, and one of those spots where you immediately start planning what you'd order next time. Honestly loved everything about this place...the food, the vibe, all of it. If you're visiting the island, you HAVE to make a stop here.

From the moment we walked in, the staff was incredibly kind and welcoming -- you can immediately feel how genuine and positive the energy is in this place. Its so cutely decorated! Looks like one of those cute coffee places in San Diego and reminded me off home :) Beau himself served us, and he truly made the experience unforgettable. He was so friendly, so warm, and just one of those people who instantly makes you feel comfortable. You can tell how much love and passion goes into this shop, and it really shows in the way they treat every customer. The drinks were amazing -- seriously some of the best we had on the island. Everything tasted fresh, high-quality, and made with so much care. Pair that with the fun, happy vibe of the shop and it just made the whole stop feel special. We're already saying we can't wait to come back to Kauai just so we can come here again. If you're in Lihue, this place is an absolute must-visit.

Beau is hilarious and friendly, he kept the line moving but also made connections with everyone who walked through the door and everyone at the register. He even gave us a recommendation for a waterfall to visit nearby to take pictures at. I got to Coco Crunch Ombre which he said is a customer favorite and back on the menu for right now. It was sooo tasty, caramel and coconut creamy heaven. The coffee had great flavor and wasn't bitter or watered down. It was the perfect pick me up after landing in Kauai at 9:30am. We also tried the bagels, including the Jimmy Pesto on a rosemary bagel and the Brahvocado with added pesto cream cheese on an everything bagel. The bagels were fresh and had the perfect chew and crisp to them. The pesto cream cheese was full of flavor. There are indoor seating available and they also have a to-go window outside that you can pick up mobile orders if you're in a hurry. Parking is available behind the shop, it has signs letting you know it's parking for their shop. Definitely look forward to visiting again soon and trying a new drink option

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!

If you live/have lived in a big city like LA or NY, if you've ever traveled to Asia, if you've ever had a legitimate bowl of ramen/wonton noodles, prepare to be disappointed. We ordered the "Special Saimin" since it came with the most toppings. The noodles were overcooked and soggy. The wontons had thick doughy skin and were also overcooked and ruptured with the gritty ground pork filling spilling out. The roast pork tasted old as if it'd been in the fridge for weeks or frozen/defrosted multiple times. Honestly, the only part I enjoyed were the boiled vegetables and I was not able to finish my food. To summarize, I would not recommend this place. Service was lacking but I didn't mind for this kind of joint. If you must try it for your own curiosity, I'd recommend the regular saimin. Definitely a local fave with lots of native Hawaiians but not sure if that's because food options are limited on the island. This may be my worst meal of the entire trip.
