A list of mostly low-key Hawaiian restaurants we liked that gives a flavor of what the locals eat. With exception of Merriman's Fish House, every place is very affordable.
Benson Chan: One of our favorites for lunch. Family-owned deli-style place with hot and cold traditional every-day Hawaiian food for takeout. Limited seating so you might have to take food to a nearby park to eat.
Benson Chan: Try the Hawaiian saimin, which is a Hawaiian version of ramen. This place is located near airport so perfect for right after you get arrive!
Benson Chan: Fancy food made from local ingredients, one of the pricer restaurants in Kauai. Service is great as well. If weather is nice ask for table with a view. Reservations recommended.
