The Musubi Truck Kalapaki - Lihue, Hawaii

Kerry Gannon

We enjoyed the food and atmosphere at Musubi Truck in Kalapaki! The server was super friendly. We got the spam musubi and the spicy mayo poke bowl. The fish was freshly caught and prepared that morning - it was light and delicious! There was a nice view from the upstairs porch too.

Amazing music and atmosphere. Good upstairs seating. Highly recommend chicken moco it is super good. Our favorite spot to eat on the island and no need for long lines or reservations!! Additionally, the staff were super friendly and accommodating!! Would give 6 stars if possible !!!!

If you’re looking for a fancy atmosphere or plush seating, this might not be the place for you. But if taste is your priority, you’re in for a treat! The food here is absolutely amazing — rich flavors, fresh ingredients, and dishes that leave you craving more.

While the setting is simple and seating could be improved, the quality of the meal makes up for it. If you care more about what’s on the plate than what’s around it, this spot is the place to go. Highly recommended for anyone who loves a great meal!

We ordered the Breakfast Bento, OG Spam Musubi with UFO Combo and OG Spam to go.

The OG Spam was to die for, and we packed some to munch on during our hike to the Nu’alolo Vista Point. The Breakfast Bento and The UFO combo were both cooked to perfection and left us craving more. The view from the rooftop seating is pretty cool too overlooking the bay and the cruise ship dock! I highly recommend sitting there for your meal. Parking is a bit limited in front of the restaurant, but Fare Harbor Mall right across the street has plenty of spots available. They have two locations, one in Kalapakī and another in Kappa. I highly recommend checking them out while you’re in Kauai!

Ok. We got the goteburg UFO balls. We got 2 small musubis. My husband made the orgasm face when he ate them. The guy who served us was enthusiastic and proud of their cooking - as he rightly should be. He mentioned they had never frozen fish in their poke (how do you make sure it’s better than others? You make sure it’s always fresh, he says). Go here. Go upstairs to their deck that’s breezy and has great views of the ocean. This will be my first stop, not my last (like today) next time I come to Kauai.

The staff themselves were enough to have me sold on this place! Everyone was so kind & welcoming. I’ve tried their other locations before, but the view of this spot was awesome. I ate upstairs on their lanai and got views of kalapaki beach. My favorite item on the menu is the lifeguard bento because I get a little bit of some of the popular menu items - deep fried musubi, poke over rice (spicy mayos my fav) & truffle tots. The fish is always fresh. My husband loves the chicken katsu or ahi katsu, it’s always a hard decision to pick only one. The sooo tofu is also another hard to beat item, the peanut sauce is crazy good. Or the Da Bomb musubi is another favorite.
If you’re here for breakfast; their LOCO MOCO is ridiculously GOOD!! It has got to be the most quality loco moco I’ve ever had, it’s made with wagyu beef.
This will continue to be one of my favorite food spots!!!

Just want you want for a quick bite for lunch. A big container full of good stuff. Those of you who travel to Hawaii and dine on McDonalds, Dominoes, and Costco fare are really messing up. This will be a staple joint for future Kauai visits. Parking was a challenge, but the lot across the street has plenty of spots, just ignore the towing signs.

Don't miss this truck whenever you visit Nawiliwili! Ordered Loco moco and their Bento. It's the bomb!
