Feedback
J02 restaurant in Kapaa, Kauai has received a mix of reviews from its patrons. While some diners expressed disappointment with the limited vegan options, slow service, and occasional miscommunications, others raved about the high quality and unique flavors of the food. The restaurant's seasonal and well-seasoned dishes, such as roasted fennel tikka and coconut curry spaghetti squash, were particularly praised. Despite some setbacks, like delayed food and occasional missteps, many diners found J02 to be a standout dining option on the island, with some even making reservations months in advance to ensure they could experience the exceptional cuisine offered.
While their vegan options were not extensive, and as of 2/15/24 there was no special vegan menu or any marks on the regular menu as to the veg/vegan options, our waitress was vegan and was happy to help and make recommendations. It wasn't super loud in there as others have said. We did have a reservation in advance but didn't request somewhere quiet.
Only 3 items are on the menu are vegan. The curry, cauliflower, and bisque. The flavor of the curry and cauliflower wasn’t the best, they both could have tasted better. For the cost I expended more.
The food here was fantastic. I had the roasted carrot ravioli and a roasted cauliflower and chickpea dish. The portions are not large, so you may want more than one thing, and do expect to drop some cash here. All the dishes are elegantly composed and beautifully presented with unusual edible flowers. Tell your server that you are vegan. The complimentary starter had cheese, but perhaps you could ask for it without. It can be noisy, so make a reservation and ask for a more quiet table.
Years ago we always ate at A Pacific Cafe in Kauai. We were so sad when it closed. Chef Josselin has now opened JO2.. The menu is a bit different but the essence of the flavors of the original restaurant is still there. The scallop raviolis are a must..the fish was fresh and the human lamb was delicious.
My family and I had an amazing culinary experience here. We chose about 8 plates from the small plates and vegetables menus to share amongst four of us and our waitress was so amazing and coursed the dishes out for us from lightest to heaviest. We lovedspending a good amount of time savoring each of the dishes which came out with a nice amount of time in between. Each dish wasso well seasoned and thought out that you could not want for anything else. The flavors melded together perfectly and theplating was just beautiful to look at. It truly was an experience, not just a meal.
