A local favorite since the moment they opened their window in 1998, Mark’s Place is Kaua‘i’s favorite spot for delicious local-style plate lunches, take away treats, and omiyage snacks.

Affordable aloha is yours, and it’s never tasted so good!
Plate Lunches
A Hawaiian mainstay, these delicious take-away meals are served atop fresh scoops of rice with delicious sides like potato macaroni salad or side salads. Choose from Beef Stew, hamburger steak, chicken katsu, teriyaki chicken, Korean chicken, or the always popular combination plate where you can choose 2-3 of your favorites in one giant tour de force of the island’s everyday flavors. For a true taste of the islands, try the loco moco: hamburger patties atop perfectly cooked rice, topped with fried eggs smothered in rich and savory brown gravy.
