Japanese Grandma's Cafe

So delicious. Nice outdoor seating- relaxing. I had the Kauai shrimp bento bowl w/eel sauce and sesame dressing. SO GOOD. Portions were small/expensive- but the people were so nice.

Absolutely loved the food and ambiance here. We ordered a pork katsu plate, house poke bowl, uni, and otoro. The food was my favorite meal in Kauai hands down, highly recommend. The store up front is adorable too.

Some of the BEST sushi/sashimi I’ve ever had in my life and astoundingly affordable at that. The house cocktails are also incredible. All set in an adorable patio space!

So glad we stopped here! The food is fresh and the servers are friendly. We ordered 2 Bento Bowls. Pan seared chicken with the house teriyaki sauce & Grandma’s chicken karaage with spicy yuzu kosho eel sauce. Both were delicious! I will say the portion sizes were a little small for the price but overall a great place to have lunch.

This place might be the best hidden gem of a restaurant in all of Hawaii. I live here and finally got to visit last night and was blown away. Outstanding food. Great poke. Cold beer. And fresh ingredients. Outstanding service. The vegetarians with us enjoyed their food as well. A lot of options for everyone. The poke tacos were amazing. And finally a place on kaua'i that serves cold beer!

Accommodated our party of 12. The seating is in what looks like a little back yard patio with fairy lights. It looks awesome. They have free water but refills on fountain drinks cost. I had the mushroom tacos as an appetizer and they were amazing. The sushi was great as well. They also had live music which was nice. Would definitely go here again!!!

Some of the best sushi and nigiri we've ever had! The Ahi Poke Wanton taco appetizer was to die for! The The iced matcha latte was also delicious. It was all so good we had to go back two nights in a row.

There's lovely patio seating hidden away in the back, covered by canopies and surrounded by foliage. Everyone was very friendly and helpful with the recommendations / suggestions. I only wish we lived closer and could eat there more often!

Great food. Fish was ok, but Uni was great, rolls are great. Chicken karage was delicious. Overall pretty good food quality.

But, the service….was quite disappointing. There were three ladies managing the small restaurant. Two of them were without any smiles. We sat for like 5-10 mins without anyone came to greet. The tips options came with starting point at 20%, also with tax included counted as base. I was not very comfortable with that.

We visited this restaurant twice on our ten day trip to Kauai, and it was hands down the best meal we had on the entire vacation. They have a wonderful covered courtyard in the back in the middle of a lush tropical garden. The food is phenomenal - supported by a master sushi chef from Japan. On select nights they also have delicious ramen. Everything is incredibly fresh; you can’t go wrong. The restaurant also has a great story, which you can read about it on their website.

Very delicious and fresh fish and food. We had the ahi poke wonton tacos for a starter and they were amazing. I had the nigiri sushi set and my husband had the sashimi. So good, as I said, very fresh! It has a relaxed atmosphere with open air outdoor seating. Overall a great vibe with amazing food. Would definitely recommend!
