    KTA Express, you're a lifesaver!…read more I came to the KTA Express store twice in recent weeks, and this store/supermarket totally saved me from having to drive back in town (Kailua-Kona) to buy something I sorely needed. I was working at a local bank next door doing some lock work when I realized I needed a few 9-volt batteries to fix something. Being that I was traveling, and did not have access to all my normal gear, I asked the bank people where was the nearest store? Originally I was worried that I might have to drive all the way back to Kailua-Kona to get what I needed, but luckily KTA had a store in Kealakekua. Walked over to the KTA store, as it was just a hop, skip, & jump away from the local bank (where I was working). Got what I needed, and time & resources were saved that day! Last week Thursday I found myself back in Kealakekua working at a credit union this time. No, I didn't need anything in particular for the credit union this time, but after finishing the job at the credit union, the KTA store was very convenient for me to get some drinks & some grub. Apparently the KTA Express has a vendor - L&L Drive-In that does pre-made - ready to eat bentos. Some of the items looked pretty good, so I decided to give it a shot & picked up a mini BBQ Chicken & Noodle Bento. The mini bento was pretty tasty, and best part of it all is that I didn't have to go far to get my lunch grub. KTA Express in Kealakekua, you're a lifesaver! Lol!

Parking: They have a small parking lot. Very easy to find. Free parking. This was a large market. It had everything a grocery store provided, but products were a bit more expensive than usual. I walked around and noticed there were fresh fruits in their grocery section. They also had fun snacks in the freezer section. We found everything we needed to restock for the rest of our trip.

    My husband and I love pizza, so on our last night on the Big Island we decided to grab pizza before…read moreour manta ray night swim. We ordered one small pizza to go and were happy to see how many options they had. Unfortunately for us, a lot of them included pork, which we don't eat. Still, I picked one pizza I was really curious about, and I was pleasantly surprised when they had no problem swapping pepperoni for chicken. That flexibility is always appreciated, and it never felt like we were limited just because we don't eat pork. We didn't dine in, but I noticed they have a really interesting cocktail menu, which fits the island vibe perfectly! To be honest, my husband wasn't expecting much, pizza isn't exactly what you come to Hawaii for, right? That's what we assumed. But wow, we were wrong. About 40 minutes later, back at our hotel (after a shower and everything), we finally sat down to eat, and the pizza was still amazing. Crunchy crust, great texture, and full, balanced flavors. We're no longer on vacation, but we still talk about this place and easily rank it in our top three food spots from our Big Island trip, which says a lot, because we're serious about pizza. If we ever come back to Hawaii (and I believe they have locations on other islands too), we will 100% be getting pizza from here again. Highly recommend giving it a try if you're visiting Hawaii

    This ole fashioned local restaurant in the famous Manago hotel is very quaint!…read more Check out my pics for menu! All entrees serviced with beansprouts, pork cabbage, potatoe salad with tuna and peas plus white rice: family style! My friends ordered the Famous porkchops fried in an old cast iron skillet! Large serving with 2 chops and very tender and juicy! I ordered the bútterfish with Miso ($.50 cents more). 1 small and 1 large size but so fresh and flaky! Yummy, would order again! There is a good size parking lot after you drive past Manago Hotel. Check out their little Pagoda garden and waterfall!

    I finally got to try the pork chops at Manago Hotel! It comes in 2 different sizes, either a 10 oz…read moreor a 15 oz. I went with the 10 oz and my daughter and I shared it. My husband got the fried opelu. Gravy and grilled onions are an additional 50 cents each. The pork chops were pretty thick and was enough for the both of us. Honestly, it wasn't anything spectacular, but I read and heard so much about it. They bring out 3 side dishes and tonight it was potato salad, a cucumber/imitation crab salad and shoyu long rice. Rice is served like in a Chinese restaurant in a big bowl and you scoop your own into your bowl. The service was very good, local style with her calling us aunty. So Kona, I love it! The hotel itself is over 100 years old and it is very nostalgic. Don't expect too much, it is home style cooking with local vibes. I enjoyed our dinner there and would go back to try something else on their menu.

We were hungry for late lunch so without further a do, we made an immediate u turn to go back to it. Very clean and inviting dining area. A little merchandise section to the north end of the space. And to the west end?? You guessed it. The ocean! The view is simply stunning on a beautiful sunny mid afternoon. The young lady was pleasant to us. She answered all of our questions. Once she had everything she needed to make our plate fully loaded. She immediately concocted it in one of the largest containers (we ordered one to split it). We also asked for a side mashed purple sweet potato. The final product was a beautifully decorated plate of poke lunch with the dark purple sweet potato. Very appetizing looking indeed. We went with the California Dreaming and Shoyu as our poke choices. The kimchi and the ocean salad to accompany the pokes. Could it be better than this? The food (I mean everything) was delightful. We didn't say much to each other where we kept eating until there was nothing left on our plate. You know the moment where you are completely mute because what you are eating is so delicious? We had that moment at Reel Aloha Poke and Fish Co today. It was a nice way to conclude our 5-6 day Big Island trip. ***Quick note: This place doesn't have restrooms; this is the only bummer thing about this place***

My hubby got the two poke bowl ($18). The ahi was solid, slightly bland but it was fresh. Rice was a bit on the mushy side but furikake was flavorful. Tried my hubbies Mac salad was pretty mayo forward but better than broke the mouth. Overall solid poke place looking down at the ocean.
