Kai Island Grill - Avon

Service was very kind and the food was delicious; had to get another tuna poke bowl to go for dinner. While the space is somewhat limited, the atmosphere was welcoming. I'll be coming by the next time I'm in Avon!

Hali Hali chicken bowl was the perfect lunch. I wish I had a quick service Hawaiian fusion place by me. Will be coming back!

Order from from here on Saturday that I really just wanted to try something different, I give the food a 4/5 because they don’t use salt on the rice and regardless if you add sauce on it you can taste how bland it is but everything else had a really good flavor, the fries were top notch! I do recommend to get the pig over the chicken is really flavorful, the chicken was really crispy but since it was dry and the rice was also dry I didn’t enjoy it as much! The service was excellent they were really nice and had good vibe the whole time! Also affordable, also I had forgotten to take pictures before and this are from when I was already eating them

We enjoyed the food (I had the Hawaiian poke and macaroni salad) but you have to be patient. There appears to be a dire staff shortage. A now hiring sign was prominently posted and at 5:30 there were only two people working while business was steady and getting busier. As a result the wait times were long and food came out piecemeal as soon as it was ready. We could tell the two employees working were feeling a bit overwhelmed as customers that could not wait longer requested refunds on all or part of their orders. Even so, the people working were polite and really seemed to be doing their best with the situation. So I definitely recommend this place but suggest planning ahead and giving it a try when you are not in a hurry. For four people it took us ~75 minutes to order our food, receive our order (in two waves), eat, and head out. So being surprised with that is not fun but it is manageable if you know what to expect.

Super sad, it’s Labor Day weekend and coming home from maroon bells was excited to stop for some ono pupus and grinds but place was dark, closed. We were looking forward to meeting the owners, as we lived on Kauai and my husband’s family lives on Maui. Super bummed. Didn’t realize that the owners have another location so maybe that one was open. Would suggest calling ahead if you want to visit.
