A popular favorite for almost 30 years now, this fun, upbeat restaurant is a must-see destination at Poipu Beach on Kauai’s sunny south shore.

Keoki’s Paradise Review (Kauai, Hawaii)
on July 8, 2011 in International
Keoki’s Paradise, an “island fish and steak” restaurant, is located in the same complex as the Poipu Shopping Village. It was styled to resemble a dockside boathouse, and there was a lagoon with lush foliage all around, a thatched roof and colorful Polynesian atmosphere. This place was packed! So we were required to wait [...]
Japanese Restaurant Kintaro Review (Kauai, Hawaii)
on July 8, 2011 in International, Japanese, Sushi
While picking up our rental car at Kauai’s Lihue Airport, we asked the friendly employee with “aloha spirit” where we should dine for dinner. He recommended that we shouldn’t miss Restaurant Kintaro, a Japanese restaurant on the way to our hotel, the Sheraton Kauai in Poipu. Located on the main Kuhio Highway, Kintaro wasn’t [...]

In addition to a unique selection of burgers, they offer a large variety of other items on their seven page menu. And it’s a great spot for an early breakfast (and lunch), as [...]
Puka Dog Review – Poipu Shopping Village (Kauai, Hawaii)
on July 6, 2011 in International
We were vacationing in glorious Kauai, and while strolling in the Poipu Shopping Village we stumbled upon a Puka Dog location (next to Poipu Tropical Burgers and Papalani Gelato). We were pretty excited to discover this little joint since we’d seen it on Anthony Bourdain’s No Reservations (where we also saw Japadog in Vancouver). It [...]

Tropical Taco, located in the Halele’a Building in Hanalei, Kauai, Hawaii, is a little taco shack serving up the best tacos on that side of the garden isle.
