Food Scene

Great Japanese restaurant. Great sushi, I would suggest making reservations as they are the most popular Japanese restaurant on the island for local people. No matter the day of the week there will usually be a bit of a wait. They open at 530 and if you show up when they open you are golden. They also have teppanyaki..my fav's include Hanalei Roll, Bali Hai Bomb, soft shell crab, uni, and the list could go on forever and ever. They also have great steak and vegetable options...If you want to go where the locals go....this is the spot!

great organic choices, gluten free choices, great little coffee and pastries in the morning and dinner at night. Very good outside seating but some covered. Wear pants sometimes not always there are mosquitos. Food is great and the owner is a personal friend. The Jamaican Jerk Chicken is my fav.

great coffee, great food and cool vibe. In the heart of Kapaa about 5 minutes car ride from Waipouli. Small usually crowded but fast moving.
