I was entertaining mostly mainland guests at a get together & needed some sushi when a friend suggested Mark's Place in the Puhi Industrial Center. I had no idea what kind or how much I should buy, so I asked a lot of questions when I got there. The staff was so nice, helped me figure out what I should... More

This very 'local' market is in the industrial area of Lihue. Only open on weekdays. The food is only OK but plentiful. It is best to call ahead about 10 - 15 minutes ahead. There is limited outside, communal picnic tables. No inside seating. Try the chicken katsu or loco moko.

Be sure to stop by Mark's Place right off the plane (or right before you go to the airport on your way home from Kauai). My girlfriend and I stopped at this place for lunch right after landing at Lihue at noon (from LAX). It's a little hard to find so that's why I suggest that you put it into... More

Plate lunches to go, maybe notched up a bit. I loved mine and would give it a five. My husband ordered the same thing and would give it a three. So I guess we can average a four. We do agree one is big enough to share. (They take charge cards, which not a given in Kauai at all)..

Great local fare, excellent place for lunch, and worth waiting in line for. Eat where the locals, especially area workers, get their lunch.

Great food! Resonable price! You can eat outside or take it with you. There is no inside dinning. The portions are large enought for two to share lunch.

By the time we were picked up from the airport, our in-laws already picked us up an order to go. It's still good even though it was not hot. The chicken katsu was still tender and delish! What a landmark place! A must go if you're looking for food that's reasonably priced.

Not touristy as it sits in an business park and you have to go out of the way to get there. Get Mark's special- everything is delicious! Picnic tables outside if you want to eat on sight. Highly recommend if you want great local food!

You must visit! MUST! I can't even begin to explain the deliciousness of the food. You will be hooked and find yourself sitting at home on the mainland wondering what airline has the cheapest last minute ticket to Kauai to get your fix!

Great food, great value, great authentic Hawaiian experience. I can see where it would be hard to find. Our Tom Tom gps didn't find it. Had to use Google maps and it brought us right to it.
