To the reviewer who said there were “many” better poke places in Seattle (where I live), thanks for the good laugh. Thank you and keep it up, Pau Hana!“

The menu has limited options, but everything we tried was fantastic! The food was fresh, flavorful, and the service was warm and welcoming.

“Incredible fresh ahi!!! My friend and I visited on a Sunday night around 6:30. We sat at the bar because there was a line and it was the perfect spot for us. We both got the poke flight with rice and a mai tai (not the ordinary Mai tai but HUGHKY recommend! Very boozy so beware if you do not like that but I love it). You get to choose 4 of their house pokes which are all incredible! I will be here every time I visit the island 🤙🏻 Aloha!

Parking: Gets busy right by the restaurant as there are a ton of places in the Sam spot, but there is a parking lot right over the fence (have to walk around) that always has open spots.

“You can easily eat abalone on the Big Island of Hawaii. 5 minutes by car from Kona Airport. This is an abalone farming center. You can also cook your own food on the barbecue. We received pre-cooked abalone from the kitchen wagon. On this day, we also had a special menu, carpaccio. The taste is lemony and refreshing, and the texture is crunchy and fresh! I don't think you can eat garlic butter sauté in such a luxurious way in Japan. I was able to enjoy bite-sized pieces of abalone in the shell. Shared by 3 people.“

“Best Chinese food in Kona. It's hard to find good Chinese on the neighbor islands. O'ahu has lots of choices. But this definitely quenched my Chinese food craving. Their roast duck is meaty and yummy. I also love they have hamha dishes. They will even prepare any fresh fish you bring in. I don't usually like shrimp canton, but the way they make it is awesome. It's not all batter and a small shriveled shrimp. Rather, they butterfly and batter so you get nice meaty shrimp with the right amount of batter.“

“Ordered the catch of the day, in this case, Ahi Fish tacos and Ahi fish and chips. We had a choice of Ahi or Ono. I would have liked to try the Ono as the Ahi was a little too heavy. Otherwise, the crust was crunchy and the fish was meaty and generous and tasted good.

Ate out on the patio and enjoyed a nice breeze.“
