Top 10 Asian food in Lihue, Hawaii, United States

June 4, 2020 Emerita Lamoureux

Reviews on Asian food in Lihue, Hawaii, United States. Lihue, Kauai's capital city, is also served by the island's only airport, making it the most popular port of entry to Kauai and a hub of industry on this small island. However, Lihue retains its island charm and emerald beauty despite its urbanization. Spend the day sunbathing and dipping into the temperate waters at Kalapaki Beach before enjoying a luau at Kilohana Plantation. Step out of town to witness breathtaking Wailua Falls cascading over tiered stone to a drop of 80 feet.

Kalena Fish Market

Reviewed By _clesste11

Went for lau lau, but young lady said we don't serve that anymore. They need to update their website menu. Decided to have the chicken long rice. Far from the customary Hawaiian chicken long rice dish. Totally disappointed because not even close. After she collected my money she said it will take 25 to 30 minutes. I would have gone somewhere else if I knew ahead of time. But decided to wait. Saw customers come and leave when they heard about the wait time. Customers leaving didn't seem to bother young lady and reacted like it was no big deal...sad.

Genki Sushi

Reviewed By TRAVELINGCWS

This is an interesting concept, it’s a fast food sushi concept.On the night we visited they were understaffed and someone made the decision to only half fill the restaurant and make customers take a number and wait outside in the cold rain. Obviously no rocket scientists running this place - customer service is second to ignorance.The food is served quickly on a sushi train and ordered on an iPad. It prepared so it serves quick. They were waiting for the 1/2 tables they did serve to clear while people waited outside in the cold rain. Not a bright bunch from where we were seated in the rain.My wife and I choose to eat at the horizontal counter so we were seated fifteen minutes earlier than the couple that arrived before us. Half the restaurant was empty, why not seat them sooner at a Vertu Le table? We were able to see as we waited that much of the food is Prepackaged (think the McDonald’s of Sushi) and cooked to order.The food was fine, the service poor.To make this concept even more ridiculous, you place your order on an iPad, it records your order by table and the sushi train delivers it to your table. Seems digitally savvy. Not quite! When you checkout someone has to count the different colored bowls at your place to determine the amount due. Backwards - no?I expected a far better customer experience from this recommended Japanese sushi concept. If you like average food served poorly, this is your place to eat.

Mama Lucy's Kitchen

Reviewed By daveb914

Always looking for a good local spot and this is it! Classic cafeteria style eatery. Select 2 or 3 items. Comes with rice or noodles. Or as some locals requested 1/2 and 1/2. Pork adobo, taro with coconut milk, chicken, veg mix, fried pork, the list goes on. All very good. Wished we lived nearby. We asked what the dishes were and they were very accommodating in describing the food. Good food and a good value. Lots of local people. We got our food to go. There is a wine shop next door. Stopped in and got some beverages and went down to the beach to eat. When we are back on Kauai we will come here again.

Toro Tei

Reviewed By bobsacerdo

Once again this trip, we ate at Toro Tei more than once. While the menu doesn't have as many items as some others, the consistency in terms of both preparation and plating makes it our favorite. It is consistently fresh, correctly sliced and prepped to maximize both flavor and texture, always attractive plating. It's a little bit more expensive than some other places, but not bad for being a hotel based restaurant. We often opt for sashimi given the high grade of fish and consistent just-caught freshness. Add most pleasant staff and sushi chef, and one has a great dining experience.

We stopped for drinks and the server convinced me to try the passion fruit mai tai. Worth it! Our server was friendly and attentive, the drinks reasonably priced. We had a beautiful ocean view. Would definitely recommend.

Konohiki Seafoods

Reviewed By feiba0

OK, there is a star off for "ambience" as it looks like a convenience store, but in truth the food is excellent. My son, wife, and I all had various selections of poke and these amazing balls (basically like maki but with more of a sweet wrap). The fish is not over-flavored, e.g. you can actually taste that it's fresh fish. The food is reasonably priced and the staff were very helpful and patience with hungry and indecisive customers (e.g. us).We'd eat there again in a heartbeat. The food was so good we didn't even take it home, just ate it in the car in the parking lot. We even went back after we were done for a few items we liked and took them home.

Pros: very nice servers, great covered deck with distant ocean view.Cons: average food. (Skip crying tiger. Overpriced and not interesting. Noodle dishes are better but a bit bland.) generally pricey for what you get. Maybe sushi is better than Thai and Chinese dishes?

Pho Kauai

Reviewed By jeffk470

Just happened on this place by chance - and glad I was in the right place at the right time. I had the pho with rare steak and brisket, with generous portions of basil and bean sprouts, and with very generous portions of chili sauce. So good! My wife and daughters all had vegetarian dishes, so I wasn’t too interested in what they had. My only regret was that they were out of beef tendons. But you know, a Pho restaurant that sells out of beef tendons must be selling a lot - and for good reason.

Garden Island BBQ & Chinese Restaurant

Reviewed By Aaron R

My wife and I went the other night. The food was sub par. I ordered the bbq mixed plate. One piece of each. And wife ordered chicken chow mein. She had a hefty plate of food for hers. It was well priced but it didn’t taste the best. Maybe because they were very busy but kind of tasted like it was put in the microwave. That’s at least in our opinion.

Hamura Saimin Stand

Reviewed By R_Planet

Tried the Saimin with regular noodles, and it was great, especially with the chillies-apple cider vinegar, also the Lillikoi chiffon pie, very light and just the right amount of sweetness. The setup allows for a lot of interactions with new people. Very good value for money. My husband and I shared a large bowl of Saimin noodles, an order of shrimp tempura, and a pie, it was just the right amount of food, without wasting anything.
