Reviews for Big Monster Sushi & Thai in Lihue, HI
Don?t judge a book by its cover and don?t judge Bug Monster Sushi & Thai by its exterior. Inside is excellent poke, sushi, and... pad Thai. The ability to order each of those dishes made each member of our family happy. Everything was well seasoned andfresh. We?ll return the next time we return to Kauai. Read more
Amazing! The tofu pad Thai was the best I?ve ever had (white person from seattle), and the sushi and garlic chicken was good as... well. Pictures are of samari and big hero. Read more
Don't let the shabby interior make you pass on this place. The food will change your mind. I've had several sushi from places in... NY, and this place is definitely unique. The purple yam and garlic chili sauce on the Holly Crab roll is a great touch. Theirpoke are decently sized to share. Their J on Fire roll also has a nice heat to it, but not as spicy as you'd think. Overall agreat sushi spot, even if the seating area isn't the best. Would definitely suggest takeout. Read more
Best poke I've ever had! The monster poke has a delicious ponzu sauce studded with oh so fresh chunks of ahi and salmon. Also... had some green curry with chicken.. Perfect spice level and so fresh as well. Loved the Thai tapioca pudding with fresh coconutfor dessert. Others in the family said that their monster roll sushi was also very tasty (I didn't try it). This place isawesome! Highly recommend. Read more

Popular restaurant with good Thai & Japanese food. People like us waited for opening at 4pm. We order Penang curry & J on Fire... Roll sushi. Both are delicious! Read more
Great Thai food when in Kauai! Not the best in the Hawaiian islands, but definitely satisfies the cravings. Came not too long... after lunch opening and food was out promptly and prepared exact. Soup portion could have been a bit bigger, but overall a greatThai lunch. It?s also BYOB, which we saw other patrons enjoying this option. The order for us was Tom Yum Gai (chicken), LarbGai, and the spicy basil (chicken as well). Will return if in Lihue! ?????? Read more
You know how you can?t judge a greasy Mexican restaurant by its setting? Same thing with Big Monster. The food is excellent.... Easily the best sushi on the island. I?m usually not a big fan of the combo of two types of food (Japanese and Thai) but itworks here. The sushi rolls are full of flavor and the Thai curries are delicious. Truth is that they might do Thai better thansushi. Great stop in Lihue or visit the food truck in Poipu/Koloa. Why not 5 stars? Too few gluten free options. It should beeasy to order a shrimp-based roll without tempura but you can?t. They ?don?t offer shrimp without tempura,? yet I was able toorder red curry with shrimp that was delicious?and no tempura in sight. Confusing. But Big Monster is a great option for anyonedining on the island. Read more
