The famous Kona brewery has a great family friendly restaurant to try great food and fresh brewed…read morebeer. Its open air style with lush green vegetation is relaxing and true to Hawaiian style. 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.

Met up with a friend for some beers and a pizza. Once upon a time the menu was more substantial. We…read moreended up just getting a pizza. We went with the Kohala and although it was good it was a little on the salty side. This was a Thursday afternoon before the dinner crowd so our service was good. If you've never been here before and you come during prime dinner hours, be prepared to wait unless you luck out at a spot in the bar (where we sat). This place has a decent selection of beers and food that's good for a bar.i would give it 3.75/5 stars.

Coffees and Matcha drink are great here! And they do customize drinks! I had a Matcha w Cold Taro…read moreFoam (YES Taro Foam) which was delicious! The barista said the drink hasnt been ordered before and she was going to try one and possibly at the combo to her menu. I also tried a Coffee with Haupia Foam and even though Haupia Foam is more common, it was very good and wasnt just coconut but also had the creamy Haupia flavor. Staff are friendly and the ambience is fun! Great Hawaiian coffee here. Highly suggest for coffee and matcha lovers. They also sell Hawaiian coffee beans!!

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.

Da Poke Shop has been on my YELP Bucket List for a while now. I was Finally able to cross it off…read morethe list. We're from Oregon and when the Da Poke Shop opened, it was our regular lunch time and we were ready for some "broke da mouth" eats. We're obviously from out of town and the YELP App. was our foodie guide. Da Poke Shop looked unassuming and a little confusing as to it's location. MAPS was helpful. After drooling over internet pictures, we headed out. Da Poke Shop was easy to find and the pictures didn't do it justice. (A little tip. They get busy fast. We showed up a little after opening and about 15 people showed up after us. The specials sell out before noon.) My Wife got a Poke Bowl (1 rice. 1 side. 2 fish.) I had the Plate (2 rice. 2 sides. 4 fish.) We had Kim chi mussels. Garlic prawns. Hawaiian Poke. Sweet Poke. Shoyu Poke. Lomi salmon and a couple others I can't remember now because we devoured our food. My Wife managed her bowl. My plate was ambitious. I almost ate everything but fell short a few bites. Not to worry, I saved the rest for later. It was everything I hoped for. All the fish is Hawaiian caught and sold. Even the fish is local. The staff was friendly. It was a great experience. There is a picnic bench out front. We ate at home.... just .08 miles away. My Wife already mentioned she knows we're coming back for mor. Not today but foe sho.

Can I give this place more than 5 stars? It deserves it!…read more We had shoyu, lemon avocado, and umami ahi; kalua pig; ube coconut and cucumber sides. Every bite we had just had us in heaven. 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!

This place is located in a strip mall. You order at the counter. There aren't any tables inside but…read morethere are some tables outside underneath a shade. 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!
