Compiling a list of places to try while we’re there.
Hanalei dolphin was the best sushi I’ve ever had in my life. Da crack burritos were to die for. Puka is a must try! Also stop at every smoothie shack on the side of the road you won’t regret it!!!!!
Just got done reading some scathing reviews for the Dolphin. Good food but sounds like service with an attitude.
You are going to miss out big time. I didn’t have an issue. It’s not a fancy restaurant by any means but I can tell you it was better than any expensive “top rated” food we had in Kauai. My wife and I are major foodies and this was it. We sat at the sushi bar and it was a 10/10
Will add it to the list!
I mentioned above, but definitely sit at the counter if you are going to go. The sushi chefs are a blast, and you’ll get some amazing omakase. The first time I went and got a table and didn’t understand the fuss; finally went back a few years later after getting the advice above and now I go 3x each trip.
