Pono Market, 4-1300 Kuhio Hwy, Kapaa
Entrée: $5-12. If you are looking for outstanding poke or delicious Hawaiian plate lunches and sushi you shouldn’t miss Pono. Be aware that you are not heading to a restaurant but a super market that contains an awesome food counter! Give the fried chicken and poke a try and order a take out or have the food onsite. If you cannot decide the super friendly staff lets you sample all dishes. |
The Eastside, 4-1380 Kuhio Hwy, Kapaa
http://www.theeastsidekauai.com/ Entrée: $22-30. If you are looking for a more upscale dining experience off the common hippy cafes and bars around Kapaa you should try The Eastside. The casual restaurant serves upscale Hawaiian dishes with a modern twist in the center of Kapaa town with live music during dinner. |
22 North, 3-2087 Kaumualii Hwy, Lihue
http://22northkauai.com Entrée: $19-32. Located within a historic plantation the restaurant serves upscale farm fresh American fare made with local produce. Try to get a table inside (though the outdoor setting is beautiful) since this assures that you are not beaten up by mosquitos! |

Keoki’s Paradise, 2360 Kiahuna Plantation Dr, Koloa
http://www.keokisparadise.com/ The restaurant is located next to the shopping center in Poipu. I highly recommend choosing the bar/grill over the restaurant since you will sit outside next to a tropical garden. Usually they have live music for dinner and typical bar food. |
Koloa Deli, Old Koloa Town, Koloa
Sandwiches: $6-10. The Deli is a great place for breakfast and lunch. Their rolls are incredibly fresh and the sandwiches tasty. Besides, their prices are bargains for the area. |
Koloa Fish Market, 5482 Koloa Rd, Koloa
Entrée: $8-10, poke $11 per pound. No seating and cash only environment but you get great local plate lunches, fresh fish, and poke. Be aware of their opening hours! Mon-Fri until 6pm, Sat until 5pm, Sun closed. Come early to get the best poke or fish to grill at home. |
