I have to say when people are this enthusiastic about a place like this, it's worth checking out if at all possible. It would be good if I could fly standby and get there earlier, but apparently Hawaiian doesn't allow this without paying the fare difference.
Hamura's is just a few miles from the airport. The Kauai Museum is within walking distance of Hamura's if you are interested in anything like that.

Otherwise, I'd opt for the beach next to Duke's at the Marriott. Very scenic. And very close to the airport, which is good for timing when to return.
