My husband and I came here by chance. They were so helpful and kind! Having never been here before we got a few samples. Pork Adobo, fish tofu, and a fried chicken in a vinegar sauce... can't remember the name! The crunch was ridiculously satisfying! But it's all so delicious! Definitely hit up this spot for legit food and friendly service. -The girl with the industrial earring read more

This place is cute. Staffs were friendly. Price was decent for 3 choices. Ordered adobo, fried chix and fish omelette. It comes w rice and salad. It was good, liked it, not bland but as soon as I ate it, 15 mins later... sorry TMI, had the D... Again, maybe it's just me but my stomach was growling after eating the meal. read more

Delicious food! Service is amazing! Defiantly will be coming back since they said the menu changes every day.

Full disclaimer I grew up with one of the owners having gone to school in the "hanabata days" (early kids time). Imagine a Panda Express but with local Hawaii food, origins from Chinese, Japanese, Filipino, all in one store. That's Sone's in a nutshell. Ask what's popular, taste a sample, explore. Sometimes as a visitor you make a local friend and go to a party where these kinds of foods are, pot luck style. If you are not so lucky, or there are no parties scheduled during your stay on Kauai, head to Sone's. Or if you are a local and just have a craving for pork adobo, chicken, etc. head on out and get your local food fix. The servings are large and tasty, the two most important qualifiers of local food. Ps meatloaf. You'll thank me later. read more

Great food and really friendly staff. Fried chicken was to die for but everything was tasty and had homemade taste.

Quick and delicious. Set plates for the newbies and make your own for those who know what they want. Had to go with the small cause the large would have induced kanak attack. read more

Sone's - Small plate - shrimp chicken beef luncheon meat pickle cabbage and 2 musubi for a little over $5. - Asian Fusion Near Me - Lihue, Hawaii

Really upsetting that they didn't have any Musabi considering it is main item on the menu. Beginning of lunch rush hour and they're completely sold out. When I ask them if they suggested anywhere else they just said no, next in line. Terrible customer service even if they were out of an item they could've been nice enough to suggest somewhere else to go. read more

Love this place! Authentic local food! Sweet n sour ribs are da bomb!!!! If u from Hawaii, u will love it here. read more

Sone's - 2 item plate - Asian Fusion Near Me - Lihue, Hawaii

Great place for local food. Found it by accident, but it is one of the only restaurants I talk about when I get home. Have eaten here each time I come to the Kauai. First place we stop and the last place too. JW read more

Best Local Food ever! I think it's a well kept secret though...we were the only tourists in the place. Owner is gracious and provides fresh, delicious, fish and chicken and pork dishes. Think Panda Express meets Roy's. We will eat here again and again before we return home. read more

Good prices for the servings. Great service. Great lunch place. There's tables to sit inside or you can take your food to the big eating area in the middle of the mall. They do small bentos and one choice, two choice, three choice plate lunches. A variety of bottled drinks. They take cash or credit. read more

Exceptional service from owners, servers, and cooks. Never failed yet. So ono. Had breakfast there today (at opening) and love it. read more

Great food served by the nicest people in the world! To be honest, when I first saw this place, I wasn't sure if I wanted to go in. It looked like a subpar Panda Express located in a mall, but I'm so glad that I walked in. This place has heart! They offered us samples (they were not stingy) and said we could try everything if we wanted. I fell in love with their crispy lemon shoyu chicken. It was extra crispy and dunked in their special sauce before serving. Delicious!! The lady scooped me extra saying that she'll give me enough to share with my husband. That was so nice!! The people here are so attentive and caring. When we were finishing up, they asked if we wanted a bag for our leftovers. We didn't even have to ask. Service here is above and beyond! I love it when I find a place that has heart and passion. This place has it by the mounds! Love the food and people here. They make you feel like family! read more

This is the kinda place that reminds me of the potlucks on the beach we had when I was a kid. Everyone brought their best dish to share and it was a feast. Same thing here... Like a panda express with all good local kine grinds.... Very generous portions too. Ono. read more

My wife and I have been going to Kauai for many years now and have eaten at Sone's a number of times over the last few years. On this most recent visit we found the food barely warm and did not taste as good as it used to. I ordered the 3-choice combo for the listed price of about $9.40. I did not notice until after I finished eating that the price charged on my receipt was for $13.40. I went up to the cashier and asked why the price was so much higher than the price on the menu board. The lady told me the 3 items I chose were "special items" and that those are $1.10 higher each. I had chosen the meatloaf, tempura and roasted pork. None of the items on display in the cafeteria style counter were labeled to identify what each item is, let alone state whether or not they are a "special item". I told the cashier there was nothing that pointed out what is a "special item" and what is not. She just shrugged her shoulders and offered nothing to resolve my concern, such as a refund, credit or other food item. My wife and I decided not to return to the location. Just as well, the meatloaf was undercooked, the pork was tough and was mostly pieces with tendons and the tempura was nothing but over-battered small pieces of shrimp and veggies. read more

Delicious food! Our family shared two 3 option lunch plates and loved everything on them. Go on Wednesday for the Luau Chicken, your taste buds will thank you!! Also, this was extremely reasonably priced for the amount and quality of food. Will definitely return. read more

I like coming here for a quick lunch. Service is quick and efficient. Friendly staff. Food is great and they always have a good selection. Had the one choice plate today, with chicken with long rice. But I think the girl forgot the veggie tempura that's supposed to come with it...but it's ok, I was stuffed and satisfied. read more

This is a great place to eat. Fast service. Yummy food. Good prices. The location is in a food court at a shopping center and let's your family choose other places to eat if they choose. They have seating inside where you can eat in ac or go outside into the food court and enjoy entertainment if scheduled. read more

when we come to kauai for vacation, i choose to eat at sone's when we're at kukui grove. i try to choose a different place to try out, but sone's always WIN! their quality of food is the same from many years ago and can't beat their price, which is inexpensive. their three choice is under $9!! the employees are friendly. i ordered the fish, chili, and fried chicken. my husband got noodle, char siu, and baked chicken. it was so DELICIOUS! read more

Sone's - Asian Fusion Near Me - Lihue, Hawaii

Amazing fried chicken! And the staff is so friendly. We loved it so much we went back and got 8 pieces packed for our plane ride.

WOW!! Stopped in here today for bite after shopping at ROSS. I must say it was delicious!! What a great little place and the food was fresh and homemade. The staff was very friendly and gave great suggestions. Thanks for a great experience. I'll be back soon! read more

I've been coming to Sone's since I was little. I love coming here for lunch. Everything's cooked fresh everyday. I recommend the tempura, lemon shoyu chicken, & chicken cutlet. read more

Good local food 20 items daily family ran dishes change everyday can't wait to come back. We were the only non natives eating here at this time. Eat where the locals eat read more

Great local food. The meatloaf is some of the best I have ever eaten. You get a ton of food for a very good price. It's a perfect lunch spot. read more

I live in Seattle and went to Kaua'i to visit family just for the day and decided to have lunch at Sones. The food was outstanding! Even better was the service, so much Aloha in that place. I wish we had this place in Seattle. This will be my first stop on my future visit. read more

Filipino, Hawaiian, Chinese, Japanese fusion fast food with a large variety of options. The menu changes everyday. The food is well seasoned and the service is fast. I really enjoyed the turkey tail adobo (which is a spin-off of Filipino chicken adobo). The spare ribs were also tasty although the meat can be more tender. The price for Hawaii is also very cheap including Box lunches small $5, Large $8.45, Deluxe $8.95. 1 choice $7.95, 2 choice $8.35, 3 choice $8.60. The portions are gigantic. Can probably share a 2 choice option between 2 ppl. read more

The owner is super nice and gave us samples of a few things to try. If you're looking for comfort food, this is the place to go. Their fried chicken dipped in whatever sauce they have is awesome, and we also had their eggplant and okra as well as their roasted pork. The eggplant was delicious, pork a tiny bit on the salty side. But overall very satisfying and they load up your plate so you definitely get your money's worth!!! read more

Great local food with many options. Prices are very reasonable, and service is friendly.

I moved home in 2010. I have eaten here and the food is never consistent. Maybe they have too many choices and can't make one dish great. The macaroni salad always has way too much mayo. The roast pork was too salty and I got mostly fat. The chili was too greasy... I don't think I will be eating there any time soon. read more

Delicicious local food. Great selection of Hawaiian food and great way to try everything in one dish. They were so patient to explain to us what each item displayed was and what it tasted like. And how to eat lau lau. We almost ate the leaf!! Lol. Great food people and price. read more

If your looking for a hearty meal Sones is the place. If your like me and can't seem to choose one, choose three, they offer up to three choices which are priced decently. I recommend heading their around 11 because not only does the food taste fresher but you will also beat their lunch rush. My favorites so far is the teriyaki meatloaf, pumpkin, and pork adobe. They offer a variety of popular Hawaiian dishes that seem to change but whatever you get you will sure be happy read more

Great local food served by super friendly folks! We were the only haoles in the place, and the helped us figure out what to order. Much better than going to some overpriced place for so-so food. We will be back again for sure. read more

Awesome looking interior and great customer service. The food was excellent I ordered the laulau and fish and all of it was on point. Will be coming back for sure . read more

First time in Kauai and definitely our favorite place to eat. Love everything about it, the food , the staff and the quotes on the walls.

I love this place. . Foods very good. Prices are reasonable. Christian based restaurant

Service is good. I think the food is junk. Had roast pork and gravy. Pork tasted like it was previously frozen. The portions were cut small and was poured over a bed of cabbage. So the potions look big but you only get like 6 small pieces. I had fish with butter caper. The fish smelled like it was one day old. Like dead fish. And it was served the same. 3 same small pieces over cabbage and was hard like a cookie. read more

I always go here on my lunch break, the uncle always knows what I want. It's either the Teriyaki meatloaf, or the Fried Chicken at the end. Always good. read more

Food was cold, greasy and not very flavorful. I wouldn't recommend stopping here. Staff were really nice though.

First time diners - tourists - and loved the dishes prepared at Sones's. Sauces are delicious. Would eat here again. Wonderful staff - friendly, generous and welcoming. read more
