Bead & Deli is one of those places you'll want to come back to again and again. From the moment you…read morewalk in, the atmosphere is welcoming, the staff is genuinely friendly, and everything feels fresh and thoughtfully prepared. The lobster roll is hands down the star of the menu. The lobster is incredibly fresh, tender, and generously portioned without being overpowered by mayo or unnecessary fillers. Every bite lets the quality of the seafood shine, and it's served on a perfectly toasted, buttery roll that adds just the right amount of crunch and flavor. It's easily one of the best lobster rolls I've had. If you're anywhere nearby, do yourself a favor and order the lobster roll--you won't be disappointed. I'll definitely be back to try more of the menu, but the lobster roll will always be hard to pass up! The only downfall is that it did take a really long time.

For a quick bite we tried: Tuna Melt Crispy toasted bread with a generous, flavorful tuna filling, perfectly melted cheese and celery. Comfort food at its best. Turkey Pesto Melt Loaded with tender turkey, fresh pesto, melted cheddar, and greens on beautifully toasted bread. Every bite was excellent. What really elevated the experience was the service.

The chicken katsu was perfectly crispy and super crunchy, and it was even better dipped in the sauce. The kalbi was incredibly tender and juicy with an amazing flavor that had me wanting more.

We got the chicken and shrimp combo plate both with chili sauce. It was incredible. The chicken was crunchy and moist. The shrimp was smothered in garlic sauce.

Aloha Kaua'i!…read more Landed in the rain for the Hawai'i Tropical Fruit Growers Annual Conference-and checked Yelp for food ideas, of course! Headed to the golf course after checking reviews-since we were literally minutes away. Loved the massive Ohana of roosters and chicks, noticed how gorgeous and healthy they appeared- and upon exit, saw them getting very well fed! The venue is a walk up with a ramp for those on wheels, restrooms are at the end of the building fronting the parking lot; right past the golf shop. Great menu options, supporting local, including Kaua'i Roastery Coffee, plus great alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverage offerings. Many a golfer came in for nice, tall, and chilled cans of varying refreshment to take out:). And my co worker is pretty sure her spaghetti mac salad had ULU!!! (That's breadfruit:)!) I had the sweet bread tuna melt with fries-filling and yum! Perfect sweet bread with tuna and cheese, and the fries were way good-maybe double dipped/fried? I had to take out half the sandwich as leftovers. My co worker had the ginger fried chicken plate and she whacked it, rice, salad, chicken and all. Must have been good! Considering the late afternoon hour, a good number of tables were already taken, one with a group of 6 and others who were clearly there for the mainland sport games on the big screen TVs. (A little weird with three TVs all blasting different channels though, since they were all in the same corner.) Optional ample outdoor lanai seating, where you can also watch the golfers. Ample parking in front as well, which was pretty full with golfers considering the refreshing/sometimes pelting, rain. Hey, here were call it liquid sunshine! It was great to enjoy our late lunch/dinner here, can't wait to dig into the apple cruller I got for today's breakfast. (They get it from a local bakery.) Very reasonably priced and well portioned! Enjoy your visit!

I got the Deep Fried OG which is panko crusted abd deeop fried OG Musubi topped with garlic aoili, kabayaki and furikake. It was my favorite. It is pretty filling! I also got the Truffle Tots whih has parmesan, roasted garlic mayo, sweet soy and truffle oil. The tots were fresh and cripy nd had the right amount of truffle. The combo of the topping were great. The service was good we waited a little but but we had a huge order so it is understandable. Here is where it went south. As we worked our way through the tater tots - the bottom of the container there were mini deep fried insects. Since it is a food truck and open, my guess is that flying critters land in the oil. There were a few on the container. I didn't complain as we were just about done. The food was good but the bugs were what brought it down.

We were there around noon and it is amazing to see that most of their fish were gone, I knew that was a sign that this spot was gonna be good! The fish express offers ready to go foods, hot food, and also fresh fish like a fish market! My husband and I always just get the poke and this time we tried ahi shoyu poke, ahi maui onion poke, ahi spicy poke with crab, and sliced tako. They don't have a seating place everyone either ate it outside the store or in their car. The poke... cuts like butter! When it cuts like you know you picked a good spot! There's something about getting the first bite at the start of your vacation that kick starts the day, time, and the vacation.
