JO2 Natural Cuisine

Small place that puts out great food (Asian fusion) with beautiful presentation. They had some unique dishes with a great combination of local flavors. The food here was better than what we had at the 1 Hotel. Apparently their menu changes daily based on what’s freshly available but we loved everything we ordered and the people next to us also loved what they had.

The bread was delicious, which was served with oil and vinegar for dipping. The presentation of the food was good. With my dinner, I would have preferred roasted veggies with the Ahi, but it came with boiled potatoes and veggies, which are a bit too tough and bland. It did come with sauce though. Unfortunately, I didn't see it feel any fans or air conditioning. It was stuffy and uncomfortable. They opened the door for air flow, but then a fly came in. You can also hear the road traffic. Dessert was delicious and nicely presented. The staff was very nice and attentive. I want to love it, but I only like it. It was worth trying.

My partner and I came here and it was our favorite dinner on the island. The service was great and the server explained the dishes to us as they came. Everything was fairly quick to come out and was delicious. The yuzu beurre blanc in the scallop ravioli was my favorite and they gave extra bread so we could get all the flavor. The braised beef was perfectly tender, and all the sauces in all the dishes were fantastic. All the scallops were also perfectly seared and cooked. The creme brulee didn't crack when we hit it but not sure if that's intended. The pistachio ice cream was also fairly salty and overpowered the pistachio. Overall would come again -- they had great service and great flavors.

Every dishes are very creative and delicious. There are early dinner specials 3 courses for $50 including one small plate , one big plate and a dessert. Dishes are very tasty. Highly recommended. Better make reservations ahead.

The best restaurant on our trip to the island. It was highly recommended by a friend and it did not disappoint. If you're lucky enough to get Nicole as your server, she'll make great recommendations. All the staff are very friendly and are always checking in on you. And yes, get the scallop ravioli, its lived up to the hype. I recommend getting an extra side of the yuzu butter sauce for dipping. Cant wait to get back to Kapa'a for another visit.

Stumbled on J02 and it was just amazing. The sever was super informative and explained every course. The portions were perfect and so well presented. 10 out of 10. We got there early at 5:30, by the time we left this place was full and people were waiting outside. I’m so happy we found this restaurant.

Wow! We went to most of the go-to spots on Kauai that had high reviews and many of them were very overrated. JO2 was by far the exception to that. The food was the best we had on the island. Prices were reasonable for the fresh ingredients and creative dishes you are getting. The service was also top notch and everyone was very attentive and friendly. We got the scallop ravioli, quail, pork belly bolognese, and tempura green beans for the small plates. The bamboo steamed fish, scallop and ahi combo, and beef cheek for the large plates. There were 6 of us and we thought we would be leaving hungry, but all of us left full and happy. The green beans were so good we ended up ordering two. The presentation was beautiful and everything was delicious. If you're looking for an unforgettable meal on the island, definitely go to JO2!

Had a reservation for 5 PM and got seated right away. Our server was phenomenal. Super attentive, friendly, and gave awesome recommendations depending on how much we could eat since my friend and I have small palates. We ordered two small different dishes each and dessert and it was perfect with some drinks. Everything was delicious from the scallop ravioli to the desserts. Ambiance was great and by 5:30 it got very crowded so I highly recommend reservations and to get there early at 5 because the parking lot is small and can get packed. It was easy for us to find parking because it was still pretty empty at 5.
