On Kauai, where to eat for cheap: 20 places to chow down for $20
Christina House from Los Angeles Times featured Japanese Grandma in her article called “On Kauai, where to eat for cheap: 20 places to chow down for $20”
Prices: $11-$17 (for lunch)
You won't find Grandma behind the counter at this chic cafe in Old Hanapepe Town, a charming village full of galleries, boutiques and rehabbed plantation-era stores about 13 miles west of Poipu.
Instead you'll find a young sushi chef whipping up rolls and sashimi while other tempting dishes such as bowls, tempura, salads and entrees appear from the kitchen.
Insider tips: Schedule time to walk around scenic Hanapepe Town before lunch, then try one of the cafe's bowls, a good deal at $11 for veggies, $14 for chicken and $17 for ahi poke.
