Can I give this place more than 5 stars? It deserves it!…read more We had shoyu, lemon avocado, and umami ahi; kalua pig; ube coconut and cucumber sides. Every bite we had just had us in heaven. Yes, everything we had was amazing, but our favorite bites were the umami ahi, kalua pork, and cucumber salad. Service was quick and good. A good amount of nice outdoor seating, and we found parking easily in the lot. Do not miss out, this Pa'akai Poke is a taste of heaven!

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.

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.

Both dishes were packed with flavor. The coconut shrimp and fish tacos were just as amazing! But the star of the night was the chef's special Swordfish. It was cooked perfectly, tender and flavorful and one of the best swordfish meals I've had in a very long time. The quality of the food , the fresh ingredients and attention to detail really stood out. Highly recommend trying but make reservations!

They gave everyone before us a number to claim their food, but not us. They said we would get a text when it was ready and it would take 45 min to an hour. Food was ordered at 10:10 We sat at a table the whole time waiting. 11:12 pm - still no food. I go to the cashier to inquire about our order. "You need a box?" No, I wanted to check on my food, it's been More than an hour. "Oh it's here." Hands me a bag. You never texted us. "We were calling your name." I was at that table waiting the whole time, you never called my name. How long has it been done? "20 minutes" Are you serious? Why didn't you text us? You said you would text. "We don't text, the system does. If it doesn't text we don't know what to tell you." This kind of service is unacceptable. My food was cold. I had a cheeseburger, the fries were rock hard. I complained. "Do you not want your food?" I waited more than an hour and no where else is open, I paid plus I tipped (I wish I didn't) I'm too nice. She gave me new fries bc I complained they were rock hard. The new fries were also shit. This is my second time here. It will be my last. Learn better customer service. Food was mediocre. Burger was gross - maybe bc it was cold. We also ordered a hamburger / Korean chicken plate: cashier got our order wrong and gave us just hamburger with gravy. So disappointed.

Authentic Hawaiian food with a modern twist that does not disappoint. My wife and I always order…read morethe Chicken karaage and two choice (spicy avo/shoyu) poke. We really enjoy the potato salad and mustard cabbage for our sides. Local style shave ice is a must to top off the food. The Kanuha Ohana and staff provide the best service with nothing but Aloha. Very welcoming experience consistently. We always sit under the monkey pod trees and pull up a table. It's usually cool enough to enjoy your meal. There is a lawn area where you could bring a blanket and lay out too. The food and service is what I would imagine most visitors envision when enjoying a Hawaiian meal in the islands. But this is a one hundred percent local favorite. Something Kona has been longing for! Shoots!

They have 2 long picnic tables right outside to sit, but other than that it'll likely be takeout. The parking lot is very compact with a 15min time limit. Not sure how strict they are about the 15min limit, but just be courteous so others can also park and enjoy the food! There was already a line when we arrived, so I recommend getting there early. Their poké also tasted so fresh! Their portions are smaller and prices are higher for the amount you get compared to other poké places... but for sure it is quality over quantity here. I'm OK with that. I'm not a huge ahi poké gal, but they didn't have salmon so I just got it with the garlic shrimp. But everything was so delicious! The seaweed salad, imitation crab salad, kimchi, and kimchi mussels were all good. Fairly simple to order: bowl vs plate (1 side for bowl and 2 sides for plate, 2 servings of poké). Brown vs white rice. Top shelf: sides. Bottom shelf: poké. They also offer a variety of sauces for your poké. They are all pretty good, but my favorite was the avocado aioli. The wet Hawaiian and Pele's kiss were also good per family. Definitely worth trying and repeating. Personally, I prefer this poké place over Pau Hana Poké. Service was nothing spectacular, just efficient and busy. No small talks here.

Da Poke Shop has been on my YELP Bucket List for a while now. I was Finally able to cross it off…read morethe list. We're from Oregon and when the Da Poke Shop opened, it was our regular lunch time and we were ready for some "broke da mouth" eats. We're obviously from out of town and the YELP App. was our foodie guide. Da Poke Shop looked unassuming and a little confusing as to it's location. MAPS was helpful. After drooling over internet pictures, we headed out. Da Poke Shop was easy to find and the pictures didn't do it justice. (A little tip. They get busy fast. We showed up a little after opening and about 15 people showed up after us. The specials sell out before noon.) My Wife got a Poke Bowl (1 rice. 1 side. 2 fish.) I had the Plate (2 rice. 2 sides. 4 fish.) We had Kim chi mussels. Garlic prawns. Hawaiian Poke. Sweet Poke. Shoyu Poke. Lomi salmon and a couple others I can't remember now because we devoured our food. My Wife managed her bowl. My plate was ambitious. I almost ate everything but fell short a few bites. Not to worry, I saved the rest for later. It was everything I hoped for. All the fish is Hawaiian caught and sold. Even the fish is local. The staff was friendly. It was a great experience. There is a picnic bench out front. We ate at home.... just .08 miles away. My Wife already mentioned she knows we're coming back for mor. Not today but foe sho.
