We had a great time dining at Restaurant Kiibo. The 2-choice teishoku offers exceptional food--and you can choose two items that you like from the menu. Also comes with a very generous serving of ice cream. The chicken tofu, misoyaki butterfish and beef sukiyaki are the real deal. Best restaurant we've tried on Kauai.

Probably one of the best places and best Japanese places to eat on Kauai. The food is really authentic. The service is also really good like you would expect from a good japanese restaurant (wink to our server Natsumi). Parking in front is limited but you should be able to find parking in the area.

We have been visiting Kaua'i every year for almost 30 years and have been looking for an good Japanese restaurant for years. Kintaro has been our "go to" restaurant for years but Kiibo was a refreshing surprise. Their menu, though smaller selection than Kintaro, the dishes that we did try were excellent. I come from a Japanese American family who grew up on authentic Japanese cooking. Their dishes rival what I grew up on. Their beef sukiyaki, chicken tofu, and katsu chicken curry dishes were excellent. Their tempura was lightly coated and again outstanding. Service was excellent and food came out quickly. Smaller restaurant with about seating for about 40 people. A must try!!

Absolute gem of a place. First of all, the restaurant was spotlessly clean, beautiful wall deco and nice music. Service fast and with care. Agedashi tofu - (4/5) Brothy savory sauce. The tofu itself was delicately fried and had a great texture. Wish there was more though. Katsu curry - (5/5) BEST katsu curry I've ever had. The katsu was fried with fine panko and just had such a refreshing crispness to it. The curry itself was rich and the perfect addition to the rice. Ramen - (5/5) The chicken broth was balanced and delicious; ramen noodles were cooked to perfection as well. Side note: their napkins are of such good quality.

Me and my husband got married less than 24 hours ago before eating at Kiibo and meeting the amazing owners and staff! Great ambiance, vibe, clean, and most importantly, AMAZING FOOD!!! We got curry ramen, one with shrimp and 2 with chicken katsu, beef teriyaki, fried mochi, agedashi tofu miso soup and salad. Everything tasted great! So flavorful but not overbearing! Staff was the best!! Recommend a thousand times!

Love that they offer delicious sushi for lunch, now Their new hours are more convenient for us

Hands down the best chicken teriyaki I've ever had. So juicy! And really generous portions. On top of it all, the staff were incredibly friendly.

Visit date: 7/25/24 I finally made it to Kauai and made this my first stop! There's plenty parking in the back if not in the front. The outside was clean and well put together. It's very private when you enter as there are curtains separating the entrance from the dining room. We had a reservation and were seated right away by Kevin. The inside had soft light which was nice and made the experience feel more intimate. It's a good sized restaurant with around 15 tables (don't quote me on that lol). Our server Natsumi came to our table and explained the menu. She was very helpful and even ordered me her picks for my main cuz I couldn't decide Everything was done in a quick and professional manner. Our order: Tamagoyaki- slightly sweet and topped with daikon. I wish I had gotten two cuz I didn't wanna share;p Agedashi tofu- very crispy bite sized tofu in a delicious broth. Great for sharing. Teriyaki mochi- dang this was so good lol. I'd say this is for sure a must try! Ton katsu teishoku- TWO big tonkatsu for the 1 choice teishoku. Very generous portion and delicious. Beef teriyaki + miso butterfish teishoku- my servers choices for me. The beef teriyaki was thinly sliced and tender. butterfish I LOVED because it wasn't slathered in miso like some other places. It was so soft and easy to find the bones cuz they fell right off. Also came with 3 pieces of delicious eggplant. Coffee ice cream- lapperts coffee ice cream was a great way to end our meal! Hot tea- the brand of hot tea they use is spectacular. If I wasn't so full I probably would have had a third pot lol Definitely recommend this place and can't wait to return to try more items! When I was looking around the tempura also looked very generous so I'll probably try that next. Oh and the fries! Hehe.

Outstanding restaurant. Quality food prepared traditionally and with precision. The unagi Don is spectacular. Carefully cooked over coals the traditional way it is perfection. Succulent, savory, beautiful to the eye, you are literally taken away, it's that wonderful! The saba Shio is delicious as is the shrimp tempura udon. The Agedashi tofu appetizer is delicate and tasty. The Agedashi mochi appetizer is unique and it's like eating clouds. I highly recommend! All tempura is freshly fried and delectable!! Service is great, cleanliness is great. Decor is elegantly casual. If you're looking for traditionally prepared Japanese food using quality ingredients, you must visit this restaurant!!
