Side of broth and grilling fun! So good
Brooke W.

We stumbled into this gem after seeing the holiday lights at the town hall and lucky us!! It was Sunday night and not super busy. The service was excellent! There was only two of us so we didn't order the hot pot but we asked for a side of the broth, which she brought and we ordered the dish that you grill the meats and shrimp with the veggie option OMG everything was awesome and we got a bunch of sauces (see pics). We were in Kauai for five nights and this was our favorite meal!! They have a really lounge-y bar connected also which looked fun but we were tired from traveling so left with full stomachs and happy hearts. Thank you for everything!

This whole experience was enjoyable. We started out with the salt and pepper buttered wings. These wings were so ono!!!! Crispy perfection! Then followed with the beef hot pot. The broth was rich and deep flavored compared to other places that offer pho on the island. All of the ingredients tasted fresh and clean. We did order an extra side of beef and pork for the hot pot, but for more reserved appetites the included quantity should suffice.

The first hot pot ever on Kauai. This place has been open for a couple of months and it got taken over by a wonderful lady Named Wilma B last week. It's original name was The Lihue Cafe and then it later became many other things and cuisines in the past. I think for now this new owner has brought new and fresh ideas to Kauai and hope it'll stay. She plans to have more hot pots and tabletop barbecue which will start by June of this year. She will be featuring Friday night buffets which will consist of local style and Filipino foods. Tonight's hot pot consisted pork, beef, shrimp, squid, a array of vegetables, and phó noodles. The broth was very flavorful. We had half beef and half chicken, only cause we couldn't decide. The beef broth by far was our favorite. This could feed 3-4 people and it costs $29.00. There's other things you can choose from the menu. Rice plates to soup bowls to vermicelli bowls & stir fry. It's very clean and neat. The interior is very pretty and makes you feel comfortable. They might be a little slow on service, but just be patient because they just started. Give it a try, it's worth it. Congratulations Wilma and good luck!

An example of the hot pot dish.  We ordered an extra helping of noodles (since there were 4 adults) and that was enough for us.

For the first hot pot place on Kauai, it's really good if you are a fan of Vietnamese dishes (e.g. pho) as the broth is really tasty (we had the beef broth). It is not your typical hot pot, as it based off of Vietnamese dishes. The vegetables were really fresh and the shrimp are rather large. They recommend that the hot pot be ordered for a minimum of 3 people, there were 4 of us, so we ordered an extra helping of noodles and that was enough for all of us. The menu choices are simple and fairly priced so you won't break the bank when you go here or walk away hungry. I recommend that you give this place a try when you are on the island.

We came to this place with high hopes because so far Kauai has very little to offer in terms of Pho. The broth at both Pho locations are watery and if the broth isn't flavorful, the Pho is awful. This place is clean, friendly, and offers great food. We ordered the beef broth hot pot with the chicken wings. I can easily say their broth is better than anything I've tried yet on the island. Their chicken wings were delicious as well. Created a yelp account so I could give them a review! Very happy customer.

Excellent service with classy breakfast and lunch with a Philippino twist on most dishes. Food served in less the 5 minutes with a exquisite look. Restaurant it's self is very very clean with ancient statues from multiple different cultures. The owner her self gave me a tour of there wonderful bar with open and 50s theme . Great place thru and thru.

The hotpot experience is something you must try for yourself. Delicious is an understatement!

It was also hot and I didn't feel like walking 10 minutes to the next restaurant. Meanlesss to say the food and service was amazing!!! We ate all 3 meals for the rest of our time here trying almost everything on the menu and it did not disappoint. Our servers were amazing. The food is pricy anywhere you go on Kaua'i so I can't complain about portion sizing and price however the portion sizes were great! Don't come to Kauai expecting anything to be cheap, down to an apple. It's a cute restaurant inside the property of the Marriott Vacation Beach Club right next to the pool so the landscape was of course beautiful. I would 100% recommend. I also have an extremely picky 13yr old eater and he loved not only his food but mine and my husband's food which was a shocker.

The food was really good- there was a special menu for the SuperBowl that highlighted the teams…read more The service on the other hand was abysmal- our waitress was scatterbrained and rude at the same which was a terrible combination. She had no idea what was on the menu and accused us of making up menu items. She disappeared constantly. I wouldn't recommend KuKui's when there are so many excellent restaurants nearby.

We went for dinner and there were 4 adults and we had our 3 year old and 1 year old with us. They were very accommodating and family-friendly, which is always nice to see. The food was absolutely delicious and I would easily go back again and again, because it was a great experience. I would recommend the fresh catch Oscar and for dessert, we enjoyed the sorbet trio

Its a lovely open-air restaurant in an old house with shops and a gallery tucked here and there…read more It's in a large property with plenty of free parking and they offer various activities. Great place for weddings, too. We had a late lunch here. The menu is standard American fair and local dishes. I had cream of mushroom soup and a burger. The soup was pretty good, until I found undissolved clumps of flour at the bottom. My personal preference was if for it to have not been pureed as much, but that didn't affect taste. They kindly took the soup off the bill even though I didn't ask for that, given I had eaten most of it. The burger was also good, cooked to order. I chose fried for my side and they came out hot and tasty. It was a large portion, too, so much that I still had some left even after sharing. Everyone else enjoyed their meals and we had a little time to wander about through some of the shops and buy gifts. Some shops are upstairs, and there is no elevator. Im guessing there must be a ramp somewhere to get you to the restaurant at least, although I didn't readily see it. If you need the ramp you may want you call ahead to ascertain its location. Nice place for special occasions and for tourists that won't totally break the bank.

Mixed bag here. I thought the food was good, not great. Just good. The desserts were just ok…read more But I thought the show was excellent. This is my first lu'au even though I live in Hawaii. I was impressed. I thought the performers were awesome, especially the fire dancers. Just really awesome and the dancers were enthusiastic which made for a better performance. I thought the audio was a bit off. The volume was crazy loud to fill the huge tent but it was hard to hear the individual voices of the narrators. So maybe something to boost the midrange a bit in the balance of the sound system or whatever. I'm not a sound engineer. So if you're visiting Kauai and are looking for a lu'au, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Kalamaku. I think you'll have a good time.

This was the first luau I've attended in a long, long time…read more This was one of if not the priciest luau that we found when we were shopping around for one. I feel like if this is your first luau, it's worth the price, but I would not pay the same amount to attend a second time. They have a pretty good variety, and number of vendors stationed in their outdoor area. The items sold range from sweets, to jewelry, to little knick-knacks. It's a pretty good selection of things for people looking to buy gifts to bring back home. The ambiance is very lively and enjoyable however at times it felt a little too lively since there were a good amount of kids running around. It would've been fantastic if there existed the option to attend a child-free luau. How enjoyable the event is would also depend on where people are seated. People on the outskirts of the stage would have a harder time being able to listen and watch the show, while people closer to the stage would have an amazing time. My party got to have both experiences since we were initially seated on the outskirts and were brought closer to the center. It really upgraded the experience. The food was pretty hit or miss. Some of it was pretty good, specially for the catering style service, while other dishes were less than average. The drink options weren't the best. If you've a sweet tooth the open bar would be fantastic, though, as all their options were definitely on the sweet side. It would be nice to be able to opt out of the open bar, or have more options for those that want less sugar with their alcohol. Between all the good and the bad, I think this totals out to a very average luau experience. 3/5

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!
