“Tom is a stand up guy. Personable, and informative. I walked in with a Bostonian "Hey, ahh, what's the deal with this that and the other thing?" Kind of questioning and he gave me the answers I was looking for. Gave me a big fat bowl of pulled pork and rice to boot. It was worth every penny and I'll likely make it a regular stop.

“Best Chinese Restaurant on entire Big Island! And I'm Chinese American from NYC! I don't do Buffet because it's not fresh, might cost less but full of MSG. I recommend ordering fresh cooked, directly from Kitchen. Specify your dietary peculiarities. For ex. I have Diabeties Melitus 2 thus I ask for less sugar, and no Monosodium Glutomate which causes me to feel ill. When you specify, and dining there, the staff and Proprietors appreciate generous amount of Tips! Thank you!“

I saw that they opened up in Kailua-Kona right off Ali'i, so we gave it a try. The pizza is very good, not at all disappointing. I do favor the Captain Cook location maybe because of the ambiance and the view. I am not a big beer drinker but Captain Cook offers beer,wine and hard liquor whole currently the Kailua'Koba location does not offer alcohol. But the pizza is very good. The staff and service is great. They are on top of your need while there.“

“Love the variety of curries here (most Thai restaurants have only green, yellow and red.) My husband and I enjoy the Masssaman curry- a deep and sweet flavor with potatoes and onions and peanuts. We tried the Panang Curry today, reminds of Thom Kha soup because of those fragrant lime leaves (see pic). Will try local fruit curries next time.Thom Kha soup here is okay (the Royal Thai in Keauhou Shopping mall is much more flavorful and more generous with meat portion. Also, the Thom Kha in Waimea at Parker Ranch mall best overall on island in our opinion on soup, just FYI.)The atmosphere is clean, sweet staff, nice decor. Would recommend curries here for sure. Oh, and the "wingers" (little chicken wings fried perfectly and seasoned tastefully) were excellent here. We tried the chicken satay last time, also good, but we are best connoisseurs of Thom Kha, heh.Expect to pay around $20 per curry (unless lunch weekday special ) We appreciate ability to upgrade to sticky rice instead of jasmine here at Krua, also. Bit of an upcharge ($2) but worth it for the texture- almost like dessert for us. (Yah, yah we know it ain't as nutritious but desserts rarely are.) Overall, great restaurant to try, within easy walking distance to Kailua Pier.Wheelchair accessibility: Kinda accessible, stairs to front entrance, and another entrance ramp (minimum incline) on other side which is good, but! There is always somebody parked in ramp exit path to parking area north side and the parking stop curbs on west ramp area are tight, some wheelchairs too wide for east access, just FYI. See photos to judge for yourself and your own needs.“

“Every time my husband and I fly out from Seattle, we have to stop here immediately after landing. This is the ONLY place that has effective kava, let alone authentic Hawiian food. But the kava here really does deliver, unlike some kavas I have tried (they might taste like kava, but they don't work like kava). And I am obsessed with poi. I love poi. Sometimes I walk here just for that. Unless you go to some luau, I haven't found any other eatery that actually keeps poi on the menu. Anyway, if someone asks me if I have a favorite place to eat, I tell them Kanaka Kava. I have been to Paris. I have been to England. I have been to India, Netherlands, all over the USA, etc, etc. This is the only place that has truly left an impression on me. I hope they never leave!!!“
