    fresh poi!
    Angel L.

    came when the shop in the back was locked up. The front packaging warehouse was still open, picked up freshly packed poi!! First time trying this, not sure what is authentic, but it is fresh taro. What can you complain?! It is like a pudding but more thick. Very filling because it was a starch.

    Hanalei Poi 5/3/20 expiration date purchased at Costco Kapolei.

    Visited Hanalei Poi Company less than a year ago and the poi was best ever. We would spend the high cost because it was worth the treat until yesterday. We bought two containers with the expiration of May 3,'20. We have never seen poi sooooo watered down. It poured out like water. We were so excited to eat it with the fresh fish that my husband had caught. We are so disappointed with your company for sending over the most watered down poi ever.

    Party prep, 5 pound bags into portion cups.

    I live on Oahu and ordered (14) 5-pound bags of poi for my Grandson's 1st birthday party. Yes, we can get bulk poi on Oahu, but Hanalei Poi is our absolute favorite! Initial contact was thru email via their website - fast response by Cynthia. Cynthia was very informative and easy to work with from start to finish, she is ON IT!!! Order one week prior (Monday - Wednesday) and they ship via Aloha Air Cargo for their Inter-Island shipments. They also ship to the mainland using FedEx 2nd Day Air. Pick up was smooth and the poi was packaged well, 5 bags per box. Thank you Hanalei Poi for a smooth transaction and making my life easy while trying to plan a party for 300+ people.

    Fresh Hanalei Poi directly from the factory in Hanalei. Mahalo to Bino, the owner and all of his team.

    Exceptional service from Aleah, Hiílanií, Branden & Kyle!…read more The bartenders at Sandbox at 1 Hotel Hanalei are truly outstanding. Every time I'm there, they manage to stay calm, composed, and professional even when things get busy, while still making every guest feel welcomed and taken care of. Aleah, Hiílanií, Branden, and Kyle each bring such a warm, inviting personality to the experience. They're attentive without being overbearing, genuinely friendly, and incredibly knowledgeable. You can tell they care about creating a great experience, not just serving a drink. Their ability to maintain that level of hospitality under pressure is impressive and really sets them apart. They make Sandbox feel relaxed, welcoming, and special. A fantastic team and a true reflection of the hospitality you hope for at 1 Hotel Hanalei. Highly recommend!

Food was good, but the menu is overpriced and overly fancy for what's essentially a poolside restaurant. The host experience is what knocked this down to 3 stars. We showed up about 5 minutes before opening with nobody else waiting. The hostess offered to put us on the waitlist, with no explanation: no mention that they were fully booked, or that they could work us in. When I pushed back a bit, she said she could seat us at 5:30, when they opened, literally 4 minutes later, and suggested we grab a drink at the bar across the pool area first. Just telling us "we're opening in a few minutes, hang tight" would've gone a long way. Food's solid, but the whole interaction felt unnecessarily complicated and unwelcoming.

    10/28/24 Must have passed by this tiny shop more than a couple dozen times-never knew it was here!!…read more The reviews were pretty accurate about its size, perhaps a room/space for 3-4 maximum (if you're all related & fairly intimate enough to share the personal space). It has a refrigerated showcase/display that features their array of delectable delights. The cacao is grown about10 minutes away from the shop & a picture hangs on the wall (see photo) of the lady, Ms. Mitchell, who makes all the chocolates. This is according to Debra, the lady tending to the shop. I had my heart set on (3 piece @ $7.00) Dark & Stormy plus the 70% Cacao Truffle Turtles (3 piece for $8.50, unless I mixed up the prices). One for the road, Coffee Drop, &2.75 per piece just to try. It was very good, smooth, not overly sweet but I could not detect the coffee taste, but it was quite delectable. Imagine the dimensions of 8 x 8 ft of a shop, the display case at the center towards the back a tad. If you're facing the case, another display case (shelf, no refrigerated) will be on your left with cacao nibs packages. There's a metal bench in front of the shop under the awning of the structure. Debra was personable & attentive. She mentioned that the hours have changed to 12 noon to 5 pm daily. Additionally, she said they've expanded the shop about a square foot recently. I love supporting local businesses & this place gets the thumbs up. FYI, keep the treats cold, they're delicate, or eat them quickly--no problem there. Hahaha Luckily we have a cooler in the car to keep them chilled.

    Must stop tiny shop! The chocolate here is incredible. I also highly recommend the 5 piece sampler…read more Jack told us about his wife's passion and chocolates - and the story is so cool! This definitely is a place to visit to try chocolate! Truffles - the outside has a crunchy perfect shell - and the inside of the truffle is very soft and melts in your mouth. Definitely get one of the powerhouse bars there's nothing quite like it. Go give Jack a visit! Located directly across room the Old Hanalei School building.

    I saw a TikTok about the churro french toast from wake up delicious and knew I needed to try it…read morewhen I was visiting Kauai. There's a small lot in the back, and we were able to find a stall. There's some seating inside, but there were no open seats. There were also tables outside which were available. There was a line to order food, but there were kiosks outside with no line. My friend and I shared the Kalua pork burrito and half size churro French toast. This was more than enough food for us. The Kalua pork burrito was massive. I think I would have liked it more if I could have added more ketchup to it, but they were nearly out of ketchup at the condiment station. The churro french toast lived up to the hype. The bread was light with the perfect amount of crunch on the outside. There was also a good amount of cinnamon sugar, but the best part was definitely the whipped cream. It was definitely on the sweet side, so I definitely recommend ordering something savory with it. I am so glad I got to try this place and will be a must visit on my future trips to Kauai.

We ordered a half order, and it was so massive that four people could easily share it. I'm so glad we didn't order the full! We also got the breakfast burrito, and it was another giant portion that was enough for all four of us to enjoy. Everything we ordered was delicious. The real chef's kiss, though, was the homemade pineapple hot sauce. It was unbelievably flavorful with the perfect balance of sweet and heat. I'm actually disappointed I didn't try the verde and extra hot versions too! To top it all off, the service was incredibly fast, especially considering how busy they were. Great food, generous portions, and excellent service--this place is an easy 10/10 and definitely worth a visit.
