Poke N Sides @ the Hilo Farmers Market

Mediocre . So where do I start? Okay, the compliments first. We got our food right after we ordered. We ordered 4 poke bowls.. The size of the bowl was perfect for us. The sides were pretty good, but a little salty. The rice was perfect, and there were plenty of shady places for us to sit and eat.
However, the meat was all salty and we couldn’t even taste the real taste of the food! The meat was not fresh and it had way too much sauce and ingredients to it. The atmosphere was dirty like it hadn’t been cleaned in a long time.
This restaurant has great speed and great food size.There were plenty of shady places to sit and the rice and sides were great. However, the meat tasted bad and too salty. There was too many sauce and ingredients and the atmosphere was bad. I wouldn’t recommend this restaurant.

They didn’t have a huge selection- just three. We tried two of them and liked them. I didn’t like the flavors I got as much but the poke was still fresh.

Had poke. Purple potato salad and fried fish

All delish. It’s a little order at the cashier, wait til your order is up and self pickup type shop with picnic tables in front

The spicy ahi is delicious!!

My wedding party came here for lunch before our ceremony. Food was so fresh and delicious. Some of the best food we had during our trip to Kona and should be a staple for every visit. They had seating outside for our large group right by the farmers market so we could walk around and still return to the group. Staff was so kind and I cannot recommend this restaurant enough!

Not kidding actually one of the best poke I had in Hawaii, maybe because it was the only place that had the ube thing which I love. Fresh fish in big chunks. Loco moco not the best. I’d recommend taking it to go tho, the bench area was not very nice, had a lot of flies flying around.

Nothing special. Can be somewhat chaotic with folks not knowing what they want. Service was mediocre, with the now standard option of tipping counter employees a minimum of 15%. This is coming from someone who started working in the food service industry and appreciated tips but never expected them. Tired of feeling bullied into tipping at places that offer minimal service.

Poke is nothing special. KTA supermarket Poke is just as good for a fraction of the price

Sides were decent. Enjoyed the sweet potatoes and cucumber kimchi. But that didn't warrant the visit

Kalua pork was boring and overly fatty. Do not recommend. It's also almost doubled in price in two years.

Just overall, not a great place. I wouldn't recommend it.

We ate alot of poke on our trip go Hawaii. This was one of the most memorable spots. Poke here is worth the stop.
