About Big Monster Sushi & Thai- LIHUE
# Big Monster Sushi & Thai - LIHUE
This spot delivers both sushi and Thai food under one roof at their Lihue location near the old theater—perfect when you can't decide between cuisines.
The menu is packed with solid options. Locals keep coming back for the Crab Fried Rice ($28) loaded with fresh crab, and the Crispy Ono Curry ($25) featuring Hawaiian fish in red curry with pineapple and basil. On the sushi side, the I'm Hungry Roll is a deep-fried option packed with spicy tuna, salmon, cream cheese, and jalapeño. The Jurassic Bowl ($24) offers fresh salmon, ahi tuna, hamachi, and all the toppings.
The atmosphere is casual and welcoming—nothing fancy, just consistently good food with a neighborhood restaurant feel. Service is fast and friendly, and the staff knows their stuff when it comes to dietary restrictions.
You'll find this works well for families, couples who can't agree on cuisine, or anyone looking for quality sushi and Thai without resort prices.
**Insider tip:** If you're gluten-free, the Thai menu has items clearly labeled, and the staff will bring GF soy sauce to your table without you asking. They're knowledgeable about cross-contamination too.
The portions are generous, the fish is fresh, and having two complete cuisines executed well makes this a reliable choice for a regular spot.
