"A long-standing, Japanese-influenced beachfront restaurant housed in what was once a canoe shack; it remains a destination for special occasions thanks to its sunset views over the Pacific and a menu that mixes island and Japanese flavors. Standout dishes include Kauai shrimp served in a Japanese-style curry with garlic fried rice, and the atmosphere is intimate and celebratory—popular with locals for birthdays and milestone meals." - Flora Stubbs Flora Stubbs Flora Stubbs is the executive editor of Travel + Leisure.
