Best Japanese Restaurants in Lihue

Food was outstanding. Service was terrific. Sushi pizza was clever. Fish was fresh. Yummy drinks.

How do you spell amazing, “Red Salt”! Our Valentines dinner for two started with Noah our sever opening the delicious bottle of Merry Edwards Sauvignon blanc and pouring a taste in each glass. We savored the wine while waiting for the first course oysters to arrive. The two different preparations launched us into the evenings flavor experience! Noah kept the wine trickling in while waiting for the baked lobster dynamite sushi to land. It was a flavor explosion in the mouth and I could have stopped there. Again Noah kept the wine flowing and was attentive but allowed us to have a very relaxing evening. Next arrival was the perfectly seasoned and broiled fillet with Boursin mashed potatoes. We are getting full but have just enough room to share the chocolate volcano cake topped with vanilla ice cream. Now we’re all in! It was an amazing dining experience, everything was done to perfection and Noah’s timing of the courses allowed us to have a most relaxing evening. It was simply exquisite!

What a wonderful and enjoyable Valentine’s dinner at Naisla! We were seated immediately for our 6:00 reservation and greeted by the great staff. I love and appreciate how the restaurant operates…while everyone has their “role” the teamwork and camaraderie is a joy to observe! They are on their game 110%! The food is amazing and so fresh. We started with the arancini and crudo hamachi, had the refreshing local salad and lobster and garden pasta. Just divine! Our desserts (lava cake and raspberry cheesecake were spectacular. We are fortunate to have such a wonderful restaurant on the island. Feel blessed as locals to be able to return soon for another delicious dining experience!

People, service, entertainment, and food were all outstanding. Will definitely go back. I had the cashew chicken, other people in my party had the Pad thai and the orange chicken and all excellent.

Awesome service from the moment we arrived until we paid our bill. The edamame was delicious but OMG the curry ramen and G-special ramen were simply amazing. We will be back (maybe even on this trip!).
