I phoned in a special order for a Yellow-fin Ahi block from the fish cutter himself. He reassured…read moreme that he would have it ready for me to pickup later in the day and that it would be readily retrievable by any of the available staff. He emphatically declared that it was not unusual for him to take an order over the phone. I should have realized that it was probably not going to happen when I had to give him my name before ending the call. In retrospect, I should have called him later in the day to see if it was done but it was the first time dealing with him so I was giving him the benefit of my doubts. Guess what? After making a special trip to the store, there was no order to be found anywhere. That was my protein for the next three days and what they had in the counter was not that appetizing and were much larger cuts of fish cuts and no guarantees that they were, in fact, yellow-fin tuna. He guaranteed that he was going to cut a specific weight for me of yellow-fin tuna caught fresh the previous day. I spent at least ten minutes on the phone with him having a very friendly conversation that sounded genuine. The staff offered no apologies or compensation of any sort for my ordeal almost insinuating that I was fabricating the whole situation.

Looked for Franks Foods pupu rockets, lavosh and Kogen, even Atebara Chips but none to be found. I did see Maebo chips and Amano fish cake that are sold in Oahu. Ahhh those years of camping down the beach, Bird Park, Liliuokalani Park are just memories. Even three of our group back then have passed on. I'm glad we lived in Hilo for 6 years after we got married. Those really were the good ol' days.

The espresso was strong and the coffee ice cream was delightful. The coffee float tasted so good as well. If I'm not mistaken, even the ice cubes they use is coffee, not water which is a great idea so it doesn't water down the coffee but ends up enhancing. We didn't do any tours this time. If you've seen one, you pretty much seen them all. I recommend visiting for the view and their coffee. So close to downtown

The gentlemen working were amazing and after letting them know that I have a nut allergy, they made a whole new batch of poke so that I could have a bowl! They were very kind and did not have a second thought on making the poke to make sure I had a taste of their poke. They ended up slicing a whole new fish for me and If that doesn't show you their hospitality, then you need to see it yourself. Their fish was so fresh (ahi tuna), and the lomi lomi salmon was super refreshing. My girlfriend had the same meal but what they already had chopped up and she said it was just as fresh as the one they made for me. Definitely one of my favorite spots on the Kona side for poki and for their hospitality. 11/10 would come again!

They only had ahi tuna (either with shoyu or spicy) when we came and honestly it was just ok. The fish was cut poorly with small uneven chunks throughout and while the marinades were flavorful they fish quality was not great. The sides of kimchi and spicy crab were pretty tasty but given it's a fish market we were pretty disappointed. Maybe it's because we came around 1:30pm but the lack of fish options and the portion was pretty paltry. $20 for a plate really isn't bad but the scoops were so sad looking. You can see from the picture alone how small the scoops of poke were and the uneven small end pieces of fish.
