Fast excellent service and very nice food. Definitely check them out when you're in Pahoa. We stopped in for lunch and were pleased with the food selection. Hope to try more of their sides next time and that they'll consider adding and uala salad too.
My family and I recently traveled to Hawaii from Canada and were walking around Pāhoa when we saw this cute lil place. We loved the food, and ate there a couple times while on holiday. The gal managing the place is super sweet, and the food is so fresh and delicious. My favourite was the boneless pineapple short ribs and my wife loved the poke bowl. Make sure you get the rice how it’s normally served, you won’t be disappointed!
This is now my go to for poke. Has always been fresh. Great selection. Every type of poke I've tried has been ono - delicious! Generous portions for the price. Not a big place so seating is limited, but I've never not been able to sit there. Lot's of take out
Everything was delicious! We got the Mauka bombs, firecracker musubi, potato Mac salad, broccoli crab salad and slippery Hawaiian poke by recommendation. She even made the Musubis fresh for us. Everything came out pretty fast. The place is clean and bright. Staff was nice and friendly. Only regret is that we didn’t order more.
The poke here is ‘broke da mouth’ good!!! It’s so savory. I picked out Puna sweety poke and slippery Hawaiian poke with Wakame. My bf absolutely loves their ahi katsu with jaw dropping amazement. This place is truly a gem in the heart of Pahoa town. With its warm, one-of-a-kind ambiance, the restaurant is an ideal setting for a memorable meal, whether on a date or with friends.
So delicious! I was happy to have had this place pop up when I was looking for dinner near Volcano and it was worth the drive. Generous portions of fresh amazing poke and clear menu choices for gluten free.
Everything we ordered was so delicious. Definitely coming back again
Wow! Out of the blue this place, really surprised us. I was cautiously optimistic with the 100% five star reviews but after our experience, I agree. Really good flavor on everything and super fresh ingredients. Lots of good options too. Highly recommend!
