Kauaʻi Sushi Station — Restaurant in Kauai

One of our very first food stops when we arrived in Kauai, and it turned out to be the perfect choice. After researching the best sushi on the island, Sushi Station came up again and again, and I can honestly say it lived up to the praise.

The truck is located right across from Costco, and we were welcomed by a warm and a friendly staff member at the window (which could have possibly been the owner, but I wasn’t too sure) who gave us excellent recommendations.

Whenever I go to a sushi spot, I always order the Philadelphia Roll. It may seem simple, but it is surprisingly easy to get wrong if the balance is off or the wrong ingredients are used. This roll is my test to see if a place can do the basics well, and Sushi Station absolutely nailed it.

The sashimi I tried was freshly caught from Kauai. You could taste the quality immediately, with no lingering fishiness at all, just clean, fresh flavor that made each bite a joy.

I usually cannot finish three rolls in one sitting, but my best friend and I cleared the plate and were both completely at bliss.

The presentation, flavors, balance of ingredients, and freshness of the fish all came together perfectly, and the kindness of the staff made the experience even better.

Sushi Station is definitely a must-visit if you are looking for incredible sushi...

Kauaʻi Sushi Station is an unassuming food truck in Līhuʻe that delivers a surprisingly gourmet sushi experience.

They expertly transform ultra-fresh fish into top-quality sushi creations, using local catch and premium seafood imported from Japan.

Each dish is artfully presented with fine-dining flair – often adorned with vibrant edible flowers  – so it tastes as amazing as it looks. The menu spans all the sushi classics, from nigiri and sashimi to creative specialty rolls, and even offers vegetarian options. In fact, the Ume Shiso roll (filled with pickled plum and shiso leaf) is a standout favorite , and their miso soup is truly delectable.

Service is warm and friendly, making every guest feel welcome . The atmosphere is casual and low-key – essentially a roadside spot with picnic tables.

This unique blend of gourmet food and laid-back island vibe has earned Kauaʻi Sushi Station a devoted following – it was even crowned Yelp’s top sushi spot in the nation for...

As you approach this food truck, you will be welcomed by a friendly young woman with a pretty smile who exudes nothing but warmth and positive energy. She will tell you that fresh fish and deliciousness are guaranteed. That was not an overstatement at all. My partner and I have been in Kauai for over a week searching for the perfect 10/10 restaurant, and this food truck absolutely met our standards. Best sushi we had in Kauai thus far. We tried the crazy ginger rolls and Hanalei rainbow rolls, and they were both incredibly yummy. We would definitely return to this place and recommend it to our family and friends. Only downside was we waited over 20 minutes to get our meal, and I was getting especially hangry. I noticed that one of the chefs was outside chatting with a friend and we didn't get our order until wayyyyyy after he got back into the truck. Other than that, I enjoyed my experience and would go directly there after my next flight to Kauai...
