The staff was super friendly, helpful and attentive. They made great recommendations. The burger and ahi sandwich were char grilled and fantastic. The beer sampler lets you try a variety of fresh beers. Everything was tasty, fresh and delicious. We loved the merch counter also for nice shirts and gifts. Overall, a must try stop for all Hawaii visitors.

HICO is known for their ube which I tried- I like that it's not super sweet, just a hint of and I think that's all you need for good coffee. You still want the coffee to come through. The salmon loc was also not bad- good breakfast. Thank for letting me bring my . I'll be back when I'm in town.

I ordered the ube latte, for some odd reason it had no sweetener when I took my first sip. It was…read moresurprising. I went to the bar and saw a bottle of simple syrup with writing that said "help yourself" perhaps they don't add sugar to any coffee and you have to do it yourself? Cold brew was really sour, perhaps that's the taste of the coffee beans itself. We ordered the loaded spam musubi and spicy crab musubi. They are really loaded, for $17 each, it's pretty expensive for rice and spam. It's heavily covered in sriracha and mayo. We weren't fans of how much sauce covered the musubis, we had to scrape it off. Id opt to eat a normal musubi, save yourself $17

Arrived here around noon, but noticed a handwritten sign on their door stating they were running…read morelate. The boat arrived a bit later than anticipated. 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.

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!

My wife and I stopped by Paakai Poke & Deli as our first stop from the airport. Between the two of…read moreus, we split a plate with three scoops of poke -- umami ahi, furikake sea salt, and spicy salmon, along with mac salad, coconut ube and white rice with furikake, eel sauce and soy sauce. This all came out to $31.30 after tax, which is almost the same price as their large plate at $35.00, with two fewer scoops of rice. Of the items we ordered, the ube coconut was by far my favorite. I am definitely coming back again for more of this. I've never had ube in this format before, but the mild sweetness of the potato came through, and I enjoyed the chunky mashed potato texture. The next item I liked from the plate was the mac salad. I can't remember the last time I've had mac salad with this much black pepper sprinkled throughout it. The black pepper brought an unexpected amount of heat. Additionally, I thought the noodle were cooked perfectly. In most mac salads that I've had, the macaroni has been cooked far too long, but that was not the case here. I also appreciate that the mac salad was not drowned with mayo, another flaw I commonly see with this dish. Although the poke here is fresh, and the pieces are nicely cut -- all uniform in size, I thought the poke was a bit too salty, and needed to be enjoyed with the rice. The rice itself was a bit on the mushy side. Overall, we had a pretty solid meal at Paakai Poke & Deli. If you're in this area, stop by for the coconut ube -- you won't regret it.

Only one party at a time fits inside the location. We ordered the #4 Makapuno which has ube, coconut and snow cap. The medium one is $12 and it is big enough for two people. They ask you which flavored ice cream you want. They give you enough ice cream. It was good but it just needed more syrup. 8/10 Parking can be a bit tricky. We parked for free at St Michael's church nearby on a Monday afternoon. Public Parking nearby costs $15 an hour or $55 a day in that area. Some places do validate.

Since I've discovered that dairy doesn't agree with me, this is brilliant! It's on my list for the next time I'm in town! The shop's artwork is fun, clever, and locally made too. The owner spent time chatting with us about his idea for what's next. Anyone who needs dairy free options or is curious about the owner's next take on reknowned art has to stop by this place for a real ono treat!
