Very nice restaurant with very fresh seafood. I had the Ahi Cajun style and it was absolutely delicious. Great tropical cocktails as well. Friendly service. A very popular restaurant and gets crowded very quickly. Worth the wait.

This was in my top 3 of best sushi ever! It was so delicious and the staff was amazing! The location is great if you’re staying on the south side of the island, I suggest trying it. I had sashimi and a special lobster roll, they were both to die for, great time all around.

The food at the Dolphin is fine by local standards, but the sushi absolutely stands out anywhere. We have been many times and are never disappointed by the sushi...bring a fat wallet and bug spray since there are usually mosquitoes around dinner time.

We tired both their fish market which I would give 5 stars both for quality and service the fish was the best. The food in the dining part was very good but the service lacked. It was our 35th anniversary dinner and it didn't quite meet our expectations. The food, drinks were good. We will shop at the fish market... More

The fish may be the best and freshest on the island. We liked the casual and fun surroundings, right on the Hanalei River. Also, the service is very good. So are the tropical drinks and we liked the woman's fashion boutique near the restaurant.

I've eaten here a few times, and each time, I'm a bit disappointed. The latest time was a lunch stop with my parents, my wife, and my ten year old son. I was struck by the ambivalence of the wait staff and by the inability to cook either the steak in my sandwich or the hamburger patty for my son... More

We stopped by around 4 on a Saturday, worried about being able to get a table later. They were only serving bar food, which was fine with us. Best poke we had in Hawaii, ok fish taco. Drinks were pretty expensive. It's a lovely atmosphere, with an open-air porch and indoor and outdoor seating, but I'm not sure it's worth... More

Although not cheap, this relatively simple bar and seafood restaurant has some of the best sushi and simply prepared fish in Kauai. Cooked fish offerings change daily with some of the best mahchong, pink and grey snapper, Ono, Ahi, and mahi-mahi on any of the islands. Even better than the cooked fish are some of their sushi and sashimi offerings.... More

Not feeling like a big dinner, we tried the sushi takeout. The choice was limited and the rice had a slightly off taste. The restaurant was doing a roaring business which suggests that it would be the better choice.
