Sushi restaurants in Kaua'i

  1. A

    Tip Top Café & Sushi Katsu

    The white, cinder-block building is lacking in atmosphere, but the main draws are its famous pancakes and oxtail soup. Meat eaters, go local with loco moco (two fried eggs, hamburger patty, rice and gravy), saimin (egg noodle and broth soup) and beef stew. Located inside, Sushi Katsu offers value-priced sushi and Japanese dishes.

    Hanama'ulu Restaurant Tea House & Sushi Bar

    The name sounds fancier than it is, but this longstanding eatery on the outskirts of Lihu'e serves decent Japanese cuisine. The menu suspiciously includes Chinese dishes, too, but that's common in Hawaii. Specializing in crispy fried dishes, from Chinese ginger chicken to Japanese tempura and tonkatsu (breaded cutlets).
