One of the best ways to immerse yourself in the Hawaiian culture is by diving into the food. If you're looking for a more laidback dining environment, or prefer to pick up a meal on the go to take with you to the beach, then Kauai's food trucks are one of your best options. There are a variety of food trucks here on Kauai specializing in anything from Mexican cuisine to authentic Hawaiian cuisine. With reservations at sit down restaurants being booked out for weeks, this is one way to get around that. We highly recommend trying out one of the food trucks during your vacation in Kauai!
Here are Our Top 4 Kauai Food Trucks to Try:
1. Big Monster Sushi
Located in Lihue, Big Monster Sushi offer fresh and tasty cuisine. You can try classic sushi rolls like the Salmon Avocado Roll or one of their signature rolls like the I'm Hungry Roll, made with spicy tuna, salmon, cream cheese, avocado, jalapeno, spicy mayo, and unagi sauce. Can you say yum! They also offer great vegetarian options. This food truck is on the pricier side, but the fast service and quality taste makes it worth it. We highly recommend the Poke Bowl or the Duo Sushi Burrito. They're central location in Lihue is makes this food truck in Kauai a must stop.
