Before we left for Kauai I swore up and down that I would only be eating fish and fruit the whole time we were there.
And then there was Bubba’s…
So by the time our last day rolled around and I hadn’t had any seafood to speak of we knew that sushi was the thing to go after.
Enter Kintaro, hailed by tourist books and locals as the best place on the island to have sushi.
And y’all? They weren’t joking…this was the BEST sushi I have ever had in my entire life!
We started the meal off with fried wontons and hot mustard, probably one of the best combinations of all time.
And just to get a little green in there we had an order of edamame.
Balance people. Balance.
The first thing we knew we had to get was the Bali Hi Bomb Roll…seriously, everyone we asked said to order this. Definitely my #2 choice from the rolls we ordered.
This second one though is the best I’ve ever had. It’s a roll with smoked salmon, raw salmon, cucumber, and avocado. And OH.MY.WORD was it ever the best sushi that’s ever been in my mouth. Holy yum doesn’t even begin to describe!
We also ordered the Cajun roll, which was seared Cajun-spiced Ahi tuna with cucumber and avocado…
And the regular Spicy Tuna roll that we always try everywhere we go. Honestly the fish was amazing…so tender…but there wasn’t anything else in the roll with it and the texture was a little weird for me. But the flavor was out of this world!
Sadly this is the last official Kauai post 🙁 but I still have some pictures to show off so we’re not done yet! Hope you guys have a fabulous rest of your weekend, and I’ll see you all tomorrow for a giveaway!
Your trip looks amazing and really makes me miss Hawaii. I want to go back so badly!!
I don’t think I had sushi while I was in Hawaii but I was on a cruise so we didn’t eat much on the islands themselves.
Sounds like a really, really good reason to go back.
