    Poke bowl with Korean Ahi and small container of another type of poke
    Ivy C.

    I came here to pick up lunch after zip-lining nearby. Our guide recommended this place as I was craving some poke. Everything is fresh caught, so fresh, and tasty. I got a one poke scoop with 2 sides and also a small container of another poke (because I had to try a different flavor!) If you're on the north side of the Big Island, definitely worth a trip here!

    Ono poke with kimchi cucumbers and mac salad.

    Always good!! We eat here every time we're in Hawi. My partner always gets the poke nachos and I had the giant shrimp. Great service, super fresh and good value.

    Fish cooler and front counter.

    Great food, friendly atmosphere. Came all the way from the mainland for good poke. Spicy ono and ocean salad. I will be back!

    Beautiful handmade jewelry. Original and affordable.

    Best grindz here so skip the overpriced tourist spots! The fresh from da sea selections of ahi, ono, aka, marlin poke at Rising Tide remain the freshest, friendliest, and most affordable nearby. The warm and friendly folks that run this multigenerational lunch and early dinner spot is signature Kohala aloha. In addition to their delicious poke combo plate, poke nachos, and ono bombs, their daily lunch specials are $17 or less and the specials that turn over daily like crab stuffed portabello topped with seafood, meatloaf, and egg foo yung with bbq pork, are hearty and inventive. Do your one stop shopping here for gifts and adornment too! Check out there beautiful handcrafted jewelry. This is the talent family. I tell you! SO DANG GOOD! Located in the historic Nanbu building, stop next door and try Pomaikai Cafe's lilikoi cinnamon rolls next door for dessert. Come ready to fall in love with RTP but please don't eat up all the crab sides before I can get my daily poke bowl! MABUHAY RISING TIDE POKE!

    Two choice poke with mac salad and kimchi crab

    The poke was excellent and so were the sides. We tried three different kinds of poke (one on nachos) and got the kimchi crab and the mac salad as sides. Everything tasted great and the service was exceptional. They went above and beyond to make sure we had napkins, condiments, water, utensils etc. (mind you it isn't a full-service type of restaurant and yet the service was above most other restaurants I've ever been to) they also have this cute map up where you can add a pin of your name and where you're from

    Shoyu poke, rice, ebi w/tomato & onion, kimchi cucumber.

    Cute little pike shop in Kohala. Very clean. Service was great. Poke tasted so good, fresh. They also sell jewelry

    Amazing poke bowl

    Great family owned poke spot! Many poke options and a selection of sides to go with it. Highly recommend it!

I was so looking forward to dining on delicious BBQ . we had to order our meals as take out online because of young children , so we looked to order at 4:30 pm . so i went online and believe it or not I was incredulous that they were sold out of Every single BBQed Dish pork, chicken, ribs etc I was so disappointed and in disbelief That I called the restaurant and sure enough it was true! shocking for a BBQ RESTAURANT to run out of BBQ! because our hearts were set on having their food , so burgers were ordered by the family and i ordered the ONO grilled with a side of cole slaw and grilled pineapple, and O NO the fish was so tough it was difficult to cut with a knife... it was tastless and chewy ... threw away half of it ! It was not the fresh Ono I expected and love! hopefully this does not happen often !!! I understand that Restaurants have an off night sometimes ... but this was SO SAD !!! in addition there was something (maybe a spice or something on the grill ) on either the fish and/or the pineapple , that I had an allergic reaction to ! my tongue swelled and was extremely uncomfortable!!! I have never had that happen before... it is sad that the cornbread and the coleslaw were the best part if the meal! The burgers were enjoyed so that boosted my score !

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.

The price has…read moregone up A LOT, but obviously in this economy, so has everything else, so that's not really their fault. It's now $50 for their poke plate. A 1/2 pound is $15, which isn't terrible if you just want poke and nothing else. I don't remember the poke being chopped up so thinly. It's basically minced, which isn't great. We got poke from one of the local farmer's markets the day before, and it was chopped up into big chunks, which I liked much better. I don't think I'll come back, unfortunately.

We arrived early after maybe 10am. That means like should be fresh, right? The gentleman serving poke was wonderful! Very kind and easy to talk to. He was very patient waiting for us to make a decision. Once, we were ready to check out, only self check-out was available. This was fine. No big deal. We also purchased fried vinegar chicken wings (which was really good). They've made portions smaller but it's ok. Still worth the money. Now, for the poke itself. It was not good. I couldn't figure out why and husband said it did not seem fresh. That's it. The texture or flavor was not what it usually is. It was ok but they have served better. I have been craving this poke for weeks too. It was so bad that I just didn't feel like stopping by another day. Maybe, next time we visit, the poke will be fresh. Keep in mind, this is one of the only grocery stores around this area so be prepared for some very high prices on water and snacks. Convenient items needed are very pricey as well. Excellent customer service will make up for all those things though. I'm sure I will be back. Oh, and I cannot forget my butter mochi. Another craving I get in Hawaii. I will wait to hit the grocery stores for this and it never disappoints.

We stopped at Da Poke Shack, but they were unexpectedly closed (see my profile). So we made our way to Pau Hana and I was very surprised! I came around 3:45PM, so their options were limited (which makes total sense, because of fresh fish!) and I wish I had come earlier in the day so I had a wider selection. Fish was very flavorful, and the rice was perfectly sticky. I got the Hawaiian style Ahi (I wish I had come earlier to try the salmon) and the octopus (not too rubbery, but just a bit tough), with imitation crab and edamame. Everything was very well seasoned, flavorful, and fresh. The service was very nice, the employee dishing us up was fast and talkative and wasn't judgmental when I asked if anything I had on my plate would be spicy (I don't do well with spicy food). I really recommend this place if you're in the area! I'm from AZ and I get pokè at least once a month because it's my favorite food, and fish in a land locked state will never be the same as it is on the coast!
