Stevenson's Library

**Stevenson's Library**

This spot brings Japanese flavors to Poipu with a sushi menu that's compact but delivers. Tucked into Koloa, Stevenson's Library is a solid restaurant where the focus is all about fresh fish and creative rolls for sushi enthusiasts.

The signature **Stevenson's Maki** features seared blackened ahi and lump crab rolled with avocado, cucumber, and green onions, then topped with their dynamite sauce and tobiko. The **Lobster Dynamite** ($28) and **Sushi Pizza** ($23) are crowd favorites, with diners raving about both. You'll find all the classics from nigiri and sashimi to temaki, plus Hawaiian bigeye tuna and Faroe Island salmon on the menu.

The vibe here is relaxed with quick service – you're not waiting long for your rolls to arrive. They've got a keiki menu for the little ones, which comes as a full bento box. The drink selection is strong too, with Japanese whisky and Shochu made from Okinawan purple potato if you're feeling adventurous.

**Perfect for:** Sushi lovers looking for quality fish without the stuffy atmosphere, families (thanks to that kids menu), and anyone craving Japanese flavors in Poipu.

**Insider tip:** Don't overlook their specialty rolls – the two-page menu is short but every dish delivers.
