Fiji Kava Bar Honolulu

Friendly guy at first and then we asked if he had change. Warning!! “DO NOT ASK FOR CHANGE”, he immediately flipped, started telling us it was a stupid question, and continued to explain how stupid we were. Decent kava for a decent price, but beware he can immediately flip from happy to angry. He told us to finish the kava and to get out. Very confusing situation

$50/lb for good quality kava. The kava is some of the strongest kava I've tried. He lets you sample before you buy and explains the process for making your own kava. I will definitely be back.

The owner, Daya is a very kind man. He gave us clementines and showed us how he makes the kava since we arrived as he was preparing it. We were very happy with the service here and highly recommend. This is a good kava shop to support.

Note, hard to find hole in the wall spot

Guy was friendly enough at first, but as he was finishing up making my kava I gave him some money and asked for some change. He completely shifted his tone and got really offended that I asked for change, then went on a tirade about how I'm not local and 'there's real locals that come here like -insert well known reggae artist-" his rudeness turned the dinginess of the establishment from a cool and rustic vibe into a dirty and unkempt one.

Great basic place. Good vibes. Ambiance is literally you’re sitting in between parked cars under cover with lights strung above. The guy who runs it is mellow and helpful. Very chill and low key.

Kava and owner are great. Very very unassuming location, and small stall style with a shared bathroom.

Daya was welcoming, intent listener and very open about his experiences and sharing. Bottles were $10/each, and he came out and drank with us, instructing on how to best drink it, and frequently checking up on us.

It’s not the ambiance you’re here for— it’s the kava and good vibes with a good shared experience if you’re open to it.

Nowhere to sit, besides in a parking lot. We left after we arrived there. Nice worker though!

Sketchy ☠

daya is the best and so is his kava! ask to learn about the kava and he’ll teach you. must try place while in hawaii!

The owner talked to me like I ask for a free drink. The drink was nasty and overpriced.

A kind spirited owner who makes great kava. He is friendly and chatty. If you like conversation, ask him about how to make Kava or the charity he runs! He was kind enough to also let us try his homemade peanut butter and beet salad (not on the menu, but they’re great!).

If you are looking for a full sit-down kava cafe, this is not your place. But, if you are looking for an intimate and perhaps a little austere place to have some authentic kava this is your place. The owner is knowledgeable about the history and preparation of Kava and does wholesale if you wanted to make your own.

The best kava and the best people can be found at Daya's Fiji Kava. Pounds his kava onsite, so it's the freshest and strongest you'll find anywhere.

Little hole is the wall kava bar. Almost missed it because its hiding between mechanic places. Tried a different kava bar the day prior and was able to tell the difference between the two. This kava is definitely more pure and stronger with no additives. The guy also makes the kava fresh is store by grinding it with a machine displayed in the store.
