My daughter made us last minute reservations and we were glad that we could get an early dinner reservation at 5:30. We were there early and the line grew quickly. We were glad to have been seated immediately and our appetizers were ready within 10-15 minutes. Each time we added to our order, we had a very minimal wait time. We came with our appetites that we had forgotten to take pictures of some of our dishes that we ordered. Definitely need to come again and try some other dishes that we didn't get to order. All in all we had a great time there.

This place exceeded my expectations. it was an amazing experience! The calamari was perfectly cooked and had a great flavor. The California roll was fresh and delicious, and the Bali Hai Bomb sushi roll was simply amazing! The service was excellent and the atmosphere was very inviting. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for delicious Japanese cuisine. Definitely a 5-star experience!"

Lots of people with lots of noise (sort of like a bar atmosphere). I prefer a more intimate setting but the food and service was good.

Great environment. Excellent sushi. All fish is fresh. Gotta try the green tea mud pie. A local fave. Reservations are recommended ahead especially on the weekends and special occasions. Parking is tight of busy so go early.

Great food, super fresh fish, ok prices. First time I went back since Kintaro reoppened. The tables and chairs felt somewhat industrial and the place was noisier and not as "intimate" as I recalled. A bit hard to hold a conversation. Still, one of the better places to eat on the island.

Walked in at 6pm on a Monday without a reservation but able to dine at the bar. Bar tender and wait staff super busy but friendly and helpful. LOVED the lychee sake and lemon drop cocktail. My son couldn't get enough miso soup. Good value for delicious, well-prepared fresh meal. Stuffed but took home a slice of lovely green tea mud pie.

Great Sushi and Teppanyaki at reasonable prices for Kauai. The Miso soup is some of the best I’ve had. Our Teppanyaki cook Levi was awesome, cooked the fish to perfection and the steak was great as well. I highly recommend Kintaro’s for any occasion, they even have tatami rooms for large parties! (Pro Tip: If you get the shrimp or lobster, ask Levi for the “little” sauce)
