“Hands down the BEST poke of Kona Island. We tried all highly rated places and only this one really hit all the high marks. High-quality rice cooked to perfection (we had a lot of bad rice at other places), amazing fish (fresh and perfectly seasoned) and fantastic price. We are surely going to be back. 本当にご馳走様ですた!“

“We tried the chicken katsu, the wontons, the smoked pork, and the spicy furikake karagi. The katsu had such a good crunch, the wontons were filled with smoked meat and the flavor of the wontons themselves was mildly sweet. The smoked pork was tender and juicy with a very nice smoky flavor. The atmosphere was very casual, and the place seemed to be owned by a lovely family. Would recommend.“

“First time trying real poke! Not a big fan of anything raw but decided since I'm in Hawaii, I need to try poke. This place was pretty straightforward with its options and had great ones. I went with a poke bowl with rice, shrimp, and dynamite (not really sure all it had) but nonetheless it had a great flavor.“

All of the ingredients were fresh. It was very close to the ocean and local shops, and there was a bathroom inside (which was an extra bonus if you've been out and about). I would definitely recommend it to others!“

“Our cashier Ren was so nice! Gave us the full Aloha service! Was extremely accommodating with providing a variety of gluten free options and not just generic GF pancakes but a variety of flavors. Nice comfortable indoor and outdoor seating. Short drive to the beach if you want to take your food and go eat at the beach. The macadamia pancakes were amazing. Super fluffy and moist eggs were cooked to perfection in. The spam was delicious! 10 out of 10 would highly recommend!Dietary restrictions: Gluten Free options“

“Stopped by for a quick snack and had an oyster appy with pork laulau.I’m not from an oceanside place and the oysters blew me away. So juicy and plump and fresh. The laulau was cooked really tender, I don’t have any reference to comment on the flavour, but it was nice.Atmosphere was okay, felt a bit like a cantina.“

“Amazing food. Best food I’ve had in a while. Spicy garlic furikake chicken for sure! One plate is enough for 2. Drinks are a bit pricey but looked super fresh and good. Just too rich for my blood. I’d come here over and over if I could. No you can’t eat there, and there’s no bathroom unless you find a spot behind the building. But damn, that’s some dank food!“

“Food was one of our best meals when we stayed at Hualalai! Fresh grilled kampachii w steamed Bok choy and sticky rice - my fav! The fish was fresh and seasoned and cooked perfect! My husband had a ahi Tina sashimi and our friends enjoyed crab rolls and farm to table fresh Big Island tomatoe salad. All our food came out quickly and practically gone in seconds. A very popular restaurant at the Hualalai FourSeasons. Sorry no photos this time but we will add when going there soon! Make sure to reserve your table in advance. Delaney, our server was great and we had her as our server before. Very attentive and especially attentive to our special diets. Enjoy this waterfront restaurant and I hope you love it as much as we did! Happy eating!“

“Went here with a party of 4. The crab cakes were unreal and possibly the best I have ever had. I ordered the seafood trio which was tasty but the crab cakes are what I dream about.Service was great and Brad was very knowledgeable and happy to serve us. Highly recommended. The food is pricey but look at the pictures people posted. The plating and presentation is second to none. We left full and had a lovely evening. Thanks for the delicious meal.Parking: Limited parking available. If Jackie Rey's is within walking distance this may be the best option.“

“This place rules so hard. Seriously. The variety in food is wide and it’s so damn good. Don’t let the fact that it’s in a bowling alley/arcade deter you from this hidden gem. My god. The portions are incredibly generous and right on for the price. Everything we had was great and the staff was so helpful and nice. Local flavors here took me back home. Don’t skip this place!!We heard getting here straight from Google maps was difficult so we looked up KBXtreme, the building it’s located in, and got here no problem!“

“Loko Wraps actually helped cater our wedding of ~50 people and we can not speak highly enough about how much we and our guests enjoyed everything we ordered! A handful of our guests loved our taco bar so much, they ended up going back to Loko Wrap’s storefront the next day for lunch! We ordered a handful of different veggie and meat fillings, sides, sauces and toppings. The ceviche, BBQ jackfruit and shoyu chicken are AMAZING. Mike was super friendly over the phone and helped us put together a delicious menu that our guests all loved. Highly recommend Loko Wraps for catering, you will not be disappointed!“
