New favorite plate lunch on Kauai. For years, Mark's Place was at the top. I didn't even get there in my latest visit because Da Booze Shop (which doesn't serve booze) was sooo good. We tried the Mahi Katsu, Kekahott Chicken, Furikake fries, and chicken cutlet.
The chicken cutlet is as close to Japanese curry as you're going to get, and it was delicious! But the Kekahott Chicken was my favorite, with the Mahi Katsu a close second. The sauce on the Mahi was killa!
Next time I'm here I'm gonna have to try the burgers...
Service: look I love straightforward service and I don't need a lot of in terms of niceties, so I'm was good with the service I received. But I'll say this: the folks that work here seem like they're not stoked to be there. I wouldn't be either - it's work and it's hooottt. Hope they're doing ok tho.
One last thing about location. This place is NOT Porky's, which is on the same street about 100 feet down. I've never been to Porky's but someone posted a pic of Porky's as Da Booze and that's not right! You have to go...

We decided to share the fried fish and have it with extra salad instead of rice and a side of the Furikake fries. The fries were deliciously crispy! I think they were fried with some sort of coating and were so good! The furikake flakes were just ok. The fish was just plain old unseasoned fish dipped in unseasoned batter and then fried! The food was average but inexpensive. I don't think I would...
   Read moreOverall, I'd say this place was pretty good. The chicken sandwich and fries were tasty, and the service was on par with elsewhere on the island. My wife's fish was great. The pricing is fair. Because of the name, my wife and I came here looking for a beer, but they most definitely do not have any alcohol (see pictures of the sign for why). I completely support the decision the owners made, but it IS a tad confusing. Ah, well. Overall, a very good place that you should check out if you're on this...
