    Poke bowl
    Mary Wallis B.

    Honestly worth the price. It is a tad bit expensive but for the quality you are getting it is well worth it. All the different poke options were very tasty and the seaweed salad side was delicious as well. It only has outside seating and short term parking but definitely worth the stop.

    Went again recently, and it just wasn't as good as I remembered from previous years. The price has gone up A LOT, but obviously in this economy, so has everything else, so that's not really their fault. It's now $50 for their poke plate. A 1/2 pound is $15, which isn't terrible if you just want poke and nothing else. I don't remember the poke being chopped up so thinly. It's basically minced, which isn't great. We got poke from one of the local farmer's markets the day before, and it was chopped up into big chunks, which I liked much better. I don't think I'll come back, unfortunately.

    Really great poke spot! Deff recommend! Go early though cuz they do sell out! You must get the poke plate so that you can try four different kinds! Comes with two scoops of rice and two sides. The spicy poke was my fav. Also really liked the seaweed salad and pork plate.

    We were recommended this poke shack and it has great reviews! However, we found it nothing special and it was pricey. My small takeout container was $22! I got garlic shrimp and Hawaiian poke with pickled veggies and rice. The rice scoop was smaller than other places but they had a lot more sides to choose from which was nice. The garlic shrimp was good. As well as the poke but it was nothing above other poke we had had around. There was a small line and the lady working the counter was going a mile a minute with loud music blasting two feet away. It was very chaotic. The first place we went to was quiet and spacious.

    This place came up on 10 best poke shops near Kona. It's a small hole in the wall but clean and the fish is absolutely delicious. The rice was not cooked as fluffy we would expect. We had the garlic bouquet and the shack special. The garlic poke was spicy and it was harder to taste the freshness of the fish. If we were to go back, I would probably get something more classic like the shoyu poke or the Kanaka. You can get a small Poké bowl for $26 which has two varieties of poke, one side, and one scoop of rice. You can easily share the bowl with two small adults like us. The larger plate, which we saw a family of four sharing including two large, is $50. They also have a refrigerator full of beers from boy. We enjoyed a nice coconut stout. There's picnic tables outside in the front with umbrellas, so you are able to eat there even though there's no AC. Be aware that it's not open on the weekend so better to go now than later if you intend on checking it out.

    I love the place and would recommend the restaurant to my friends and family! Fresh fish and perfect seasonings/sauce. The only downside is that the side of the fish is small.

    Location: a small store attached to a hotel. The location doesn't have indoor seating but has two outdoor seatings. Food: if you want fresh tasty poke, come visit this place! We tried a poke platter ($42) - it comes with two scoops of rice, two sides, and four types of poke. It was good for two people. A single service ($22) comes with one scoop of rice, one side, and two types of poke. You won't be disappointed! :) The rumor is that they sell out quickly so be an early riser! ;)

    Poke plate: 2 scoops rice, 2 sides & 4 scoops poke - $42

    Da Poke came highly recommended so we had to try it. There was option to do a bowl or a plate so we decided to go with bigger plate option and share it. We chose 2 sides and 4 scoops of poke. It also came with two scoops of rice. The selection was numerous yet the scoops were tiny. The plate ($42) sounded big but it's probably not enough to share as a meal. By the time we realized, we didn't want to go back to get more food. The poke was very fresh and some seasoned ones were very well done. The octopus one was our favorite. There were two large picnic tables out front to sit. Well worth trying. Recommend!

    my poke bowl ($22) - shack special, seaweed salad, spicy garlic

    My second time here! The line was long at 11am on Monday in July. It extended past out of the door. There was a bit of a wait, but nothing too long. The lady behind the counter was a bit rude and not very friendly. She seemed a bit annoyed with all the questions and people not being able to decide what they wanted to order. She seemed to have no patience for the customers. However, the poke was very delicious! I ordered the poke bowl ($22) with the Spicy Garlic and Shack Special, with Seaweed Salad and Brown Rice. I like spicy, so the Spicy Garlic had the perfect amount of kick to it. I definitely liked it more than the Shack Special. I prefer my poke to be savory than sweet. I also ordered half a pound of the Kalua Pork to take home back to the mainland! It was soooooo good!!! Ordered half a pound of the Spicy Garlic poke too! Yum! I first came in September 2024 and the prices have gone up for the poke bowl and plates!! Asides from the not so nice lady behind the counter, I'd still come back for the poke. Don't let her rudeness prevent you from ordering food here. Come earlier in the day for better selections! They do sell out!

    $50 for this?
    Sam A.

    $50 a plate. Steer clear. This place is a total tourist trap. Yes, the fish is fresh caught, but everything else about it is so unimpressive. The fish was nearly minced, not even properly chopped, completely drowned in sauce and stuffed with onions. The poke was not even cold, which made it even less enjoyable. For $50, four scoops of poke and two sides is a stretch. The sides were limited even though I went around noon, which makes no sense at that price point. I honestly could not believe the line out the door waiting for this. There are so many other places offering the same quality, if not better, for way less. I wish I had saved my money and gone somewhere else.

    Spicy tako and shoyu poke
    Steve Y.

    We arrived on the Big Island and made this our very first meal -- poke! Came by on a Wednesday afternoon. A few people were sitting outside enjoying their meals, and there was no line inside, which was nice. I ordered the Garlic Poke and Shack Special, while my wife went with the Spicy Tako and Shoyu Poke. Overall, the flavors were great and the fish tasted super fresh -- exactly what you'd want for your first Hawaiian poke stop. The only downsides: the spicy tako was too heavily seasoned and pretty salty, and the rice portion was small compared to the amount of poke. I'd definitely come back, but next time I'll ask for extra rice and skip the spicy tako.

    Our first meal on the Big Island! Lady behind the counter was helpful with recommendations. Got the Pele's Kiss (Hawaiian chili pepper aioli) and Shack Special (sweet miso & honey with roasted seaweed) with a side of Hajiki & Quinoa Salad and brown rice. I like how the fish were diced into small pieces. Everything was super fresh and packed with a lot of flavor. Mainly outdoor bench seating with umbrellas.

    We stopped by Da Poke Shack in Kona because we'd heard a lot about their poke. The first time we went, they were already closed for the day. We came back the next day and ordered the ahi poke. The fish itself was definitely fresh, but the portion felt a bit small for the price. The cubes of ahi were cut much smaller than other poke I've had, which threw off the balance of fish to sauce. The result was that the seasoning came on way too strong and kind of drowned out the natural flavor of the ahi. Service also wasn't great. The woman at the counter didn't come across as very friendly, which added to the disappointment.

The items are made to order so you get a bit more freshness than food sitting under a heat lamp. The rice is well cooked, but the batter is a bit heavy on the items, and one piece of chicken I bit into had a weird funk to it. The mac salad on the platter was good -- not too heavy with mayo and the noodles were cooked well. Similarly, I liked that the rice was not mushy and each grain stood on its own. Would I stop by again for a plate? Most likely not. One last nit-pick with Hawaii BBQ Deli is that the pricing is wildly incorrect. We looked at the menu online before stopping by and were surprised that we were charged a price higher than what was listed on the menu. We didn't question it and just paid the price, but it was a bit annoying that the menu in store on the counter was out-of-date and the price could have been entirely made up on the spot.
