Found The Hibachi on a whim after hitting the beach and craving some Hawaiian plate lunch and poke…read more While we really wanted to like this place, and went off the great Yelp reviews, unfortunately the food missed the mark for us. The portions are big, but taste wise I felt there was room for improvement. However, the service was great and the employees very friendly and helpful with navigating the menu. While it seems they are mostly a carry out business, there are a few seats in front, although be prepared to dine with plenty of rooster and hens walking about. - Poke: The standard spicy ahi was too mayo heavy without much spice, and the huge slices of onion (including the big chunk you can see in my pic) really threw it off. The fish itself was ok, but a bit on the mushier side. - Proteins: Plate lunch with kalbi and shrimp, plate lunch with terriyaki chicken, and bowl with kalbi: The shrimp was the best of the proteins and had a nice seasoning, while the kalbi and chicken tasted warmed over. The chicken tasted like the rubbery texture you would get with mall food court chicken. The kalbi was unlike any traditional kalbi I've had, in terms of taste and texture. - Sides: Mac salad, krab salad, and Japanese potato salad. While the krab salad was decent, the mac salad was underdressed. The potato salad was way too salty.

You could choose between fresh or frozen ahi, so I went for a mix of both. I got the Hawaiian style and pau hana (the right bowl), but my absolute fave was the pau hana. The pau hana had a mix of different flavors that just balanced so well and melted in your mouth. It went well with the crab as well, which added a whole different layer. The Hawaiian fresh poke was more traditional. It had more of an umami taste and was not as flavorful as the pau hana. Still very good though! We added furikake to our rice. Our mixed bowls were $19 each, which was great for tasty poke! The staff were nice, too. I was able to sample some and they were happy to explain what they were. They also quickly refilled one of the flavors I got as they were running low. This grab-and-go spot is perfect for quick service. It's a no frills spot that serves high quality fish and rice. Take it with you to the beach and enjoy!

If you are looking for some food to take to the beach, stop here immediately. Or maybe order it…read moreahead of time, because you'll probably be waiting in traffic. But seriously, you can end whatever decision making process you have at this moment. They have it all at KP Market (I'm not sure if anyone calls it this, but I do now). Sandwiches, burgers, poke, bowls of various types, coffee, all kinds of bevs. Anything that you could desire to keep you sustained during a day of sun burns and big waves. I can't recall the names of the bowls that we got, but they were exactly what we were looking for. Incredibly generous portions at reasonable prices, and the highest quality of ingredients. I'm pretty sure they gave me an entire fish, and I ate the whole thing. The garlic shrimp that fantastic, and smothered in that buttery-garlic goodness. The star of the show were the accompaniments that brought the whole bowls together. The ube was flavorful and added a great texture. The kimchi was a nice add too, giving these dishes a bite to balance things out. And the sauces were nice, but not overpowering. I'm pretty sure there are a few KP markets around, and you should stop here before whatever adventure awaits for you in Hawaii. I even bought a shirt because this place was so dope.

Compliments to our waiter, Stacen. He was extremely friendly and helpful. My parents recommend the poke nachos. My mom really liked the fish tacos. "They were excellent", she said. My dad loved the caesar salad. "The hardboiled egg and delicately sliced avocado was a nice touch", my dad said. My sister loved the buttered pasta with Parmesan cheese. She said they put the perfect amount of cheese. I got the pasta with red sauce. It was delicious. I loved it. The red sauce was really good. Lastly, my sister and I got dessert. It was hard to choose which one we wanted, but finally, we decided to try the s'more brownie a la mode. It was amazing. My mom said that it was the best s'more brownie that she ever had. I agree, it was really good. By: a satisfied customer!

They have a variety of different options, and prices are reasonable! I got a spotted begonia there, which is one of my favorite plants.

My partner and I were visiting Kailua and searching for poke spots when Tamura's came up as one of…read morethe recommendations. When you walk in, it feels more like a liquor store at first, with alcohol and wine bottles lining the space. The poke counter is tucked all the way in the back, and when we visited, there were only about 2-3 flavors available. We ended up trying the Ahi Tamura Sauce and the Spicy Ahi. The flavor and seasoning were really good, though it leaned more on the watery side. The fish itself was decent--not the freshest we have had, but still enjoyable overall. The rice was well done and complemented the poke nicely. Later on, we decided to take some poke to go and asked for the poke and rice to be separated. However, the price ended up being higher than the bowl when we checked out, which was a bit of a turnoff. Overall, it was a solid poke experience. Nothing mind-blowing, but satisfying, and we both left happy with our meal (and definitely confirm the prices if you go)!

Visited the aina for the first time in 8 years. I had no idea this place existed, but my daughter…read moresaid I should try it. The street parking is limited; so, I was pleasantly surprised that there was a LOT of parking behind the restaurant. There were sparrows and pigeons patrolling the outside seating area, which is common for Kailua. It was entertaining watching them and did not put off our experience. We both ordered the calamari with fries and coleslaw. I usually don't order calamari; so, take this with a grain of salt--best ever calamari! Lol. It was seasoned perfectly and it was so tender. When we I usually eat calamari, it is rubbery. Only ika on sushi is usually this tender and moist in my very limited experience. Excellent! The staff was friendly too. Definitely will recommend this place and will return next time I visit the ohana.

This location is in a small plaza with a small parking lot across the street from a Target. The food was great but dont expect good service. Of the 3 times I visited the cashier was not very nice and was very grouchy when I alerted him several birds came into the restaurant. He mumbled something but let the birds fly around.

Parking: street side Seating: 5 smaller tables that hold 3-4 people each. There is bench seating outside. Service: ordering was quick & easy. Actually receiving our food took a little over 30 mins but it was a weekend and they were slammed! I'd happily wait every time because the burritos really are that good. Food: nothing tastes better than a konos burrito in a to go bag on the beach. I'm a huge fan of the chorizo burrito add avocado & my husband devours the pork one! Can't beat 2 fat burritos for under $40.
