We wanted to grab a bite to eat before our golf round at Royal Hawaiian, so we hopped on Yelp and…read morefound this spot and we are glad we did! We got there just after opening and the lady behind the counter was super nice and kinda talked us through the menu. We ended up going with a 1/4lb of poke, and their combo plate with kalbi and shrimp. I think my least favorite was the shrimp. It was standard with not standout flavors but the Kalbi, that was the one I keep thinking about. While it was room temp, it was still hella good. I don't know if they pre-cook it or what but either way, that's something I'd eat every day if I could. Tender, flavorful, just so damn good. 10/10 would recommend their kalbi and be sure to get some of their spicy sauce which is vinegar based I think, because it elevates the dish. Also grab a side of their mac salad because that was tasty too! I think the prices were pretty fair considering the portion sizes. If you are looking for a quality bite that won't break the bank, this is a spot I'd definitely recommend if you are in the area.

My fiancé and I have been dying to try KBayBros for awhile now. We come to the island often and…read morefinally made time to drive out to Kaneohe to try it -- and wow, it absolutely lived up to the hype. We ordered the Dynamite and Lava Flow bowls along with their inari bombs(didn't get a pic because my fiancé ate 2 before I could even take a picture ), and everything was SO good. The fish was incredibly fresh and you can truly tell they put a lot of love and care into their food. I've had poke all over Oahu and honestly, KBay Bros has officially taken my #1 spot on the island. The workers were also super friendly and helpful which made the experience even better. I'm already back on the mainland and still thinking about this place I seriously cannot wait until our next trip so I can have KBay Bros again. It's THAT good!

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!

You can easily grab a box of squid for fishing bait, grab a variety of poke options (with free samples), and even get prepared catered Hawaiian foods if you're hosting a big event. Yes, it's a grocery store, but it's got local flair, like when they had those fun poke and musubi themed beach towels. As I mentioned before though, it's more expensive than Costco though. I made the mistake recently of seeing there was a "big sale" on oranges so I grabbed 3 as an impulse buy. It was painful to see that those on sale oranges were $7, whereas I could've gotten more oranges for the same price as Costco. But like I said, it's convenient. If you live in Kailua, it's worth not having to drive all the way to town for food.

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)!

You order at the register, get a number, and can choose to be indoors or outdoors, with the utensils and napkins bin already on the table. I ordered the snapper plate cooked cajun style with a side of rice and home potatoes. The fish was pretty good, with nice crisp charred parts and juicy tender parts. Unfortunately, the rice was dry and the potatoes were soggy - I'd recommend getting a side of fries instead (which I got to try off a friend's plate.)

Housed in a former gas station, it would be easy to drive right on by without a second thought, as…read morenothing from the outside hints at the culinary treasures within. Despite the fact that it's a considerably trek for city-dwellers, factoring either traffic or bus schedules into the equation, or both if you're particularly unlucky, it's a journey always worth taking. Hit Hanauma Bay along the way and make it a day trip; the only way to top those dazzling sights is to follow them with a stellar meal. Boasting a menu composed of locally-sourced produce and entirely vegan options, you'll want to take a number of friends for the best experience. Heck, get out there and make some new friends! Join one of the long communal picnic tables out back and introduce yourself; there are no friendlier folks on earth than those living in paradise, as far as I've seen. That said, if there was only one dish to order, it would have to be the Oh WOW Laulau. Wow, indeed! No where else on earth have I found vegan laulau, let alone such a stellar rendition. Traditionally consisting of fatty pork and/or fish steamed in taro leaves, this version eschews the meat in favor of hearty root vegetables, adding creamy coconut into the mix for richness. Not to be overlooked is the Tofu Poke provided on the side, claiming to be spicy but really bearing just enough warmth to taste perfectly balanced. This was easily my personal favorite from the small sampling of dishes provided, but it's a close call when all the options are so good. Another front runner is the BBQ Portobello Sandwich. Mushrooms marinated in a bright, smoky barbecue sauce practically sing between two whole wheat buns. Coconut slaw tops off the assemblage with just the right amount of subtle sweetness to contrast the deeply savory flavors within. Simpler but no less spectacular dishes include the Roasted Veg Platter and Roasted Veg Avocado Sandwich. The way that the vegetables are treated with respect, from the moment they're harvested from nearby farms to the care taken when they reach the kitchen is evident with every bite. Cooked with care and proffered generously with each serving, even the basics make the trek out here worthwhile. I'm still trying to recreate that impossibly umami gravy offered on the side. It's one of those things that are so astoundingly, inconceivably delicious, it's impossible to deconstruct. Each entree promises an ideal amount of food; satisfying diners without over-stuffing them. That said, you'll still want to make room for dessert, especially when you see the towering bowls full of Outta This Swirled Soft Serve. Cool, naturally sweet spirals of banana-based soft serve are dressed to the nines with cacao sauce that hardens much like magic shell, granola and coconut flakes tumbling down the mountainous terrain, and fresh fruits that vary based on local availability- Expect papaya always to be in ample supply, based on the thriving papaya trees on premise. Each order is abundant enough to be a considered a full meal in and of itself.

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.

I would share a photo but it's currently passing through my digestive system and not feeling very photogenic at the moment. Ignore that silly disgusting mess attached to my original review, but I will leave the photos up because I think they are instructive for management. Mission Accomplished Kono's Kailua! Not a criticism but I couldn't communicate with the Uber Eats driver through the website app. Whoever it was found me.
