Sandy's Kauai Picks #2

Kintaro
If anyone gets a sushi-craving, this place sounded pretty great, and is an "Author's Choice" in LP:

From the outside, Kintaro is a plain, boxy building. But inside you find a surprisingly sleek and urban restaurant, always jam[packed with locals and tourists alike. From thick-cut slices of sashimi ($15 to $17) to a shrimp/fish/veg tempura combination ($14), mains shine in quality and quantity. The owner is Korean, but the cuisine is authentic (and excellent) Japanese. A bar near the entrance (with ample seating for waiting patrons) is followed by a mouth-watering sushi counter further inside. A specialty is sizzling, crowd-wowing teppanyaki, when chefs show their stuff on steel grills at your table. The only downside is rather abrupt, rushed service.

They don't have a website, but I found their menu.
