Kanaka Kava Reviews
Great spot that seems to attract the locals despite being in a more high traffic tourist area. The food was authentic and delicious. I didn't know what Kava was so I didn't get any but it seems like everyone else got it. It's supposed to make you feel relaxed and I don't think there's alcohol in it? Come for the food, you won't be disappointed. Maybe next time, I'll order the Kava too.
This was my fave spot that I ate at during my week in Kona! It's a small outdoor stand with a little bit of seating. The guy who helped us was super chill and friendly which made the experience even better. Was definitely really solid, authentic Hawaiian food! We got the Lau Lau, kalua pig, poi, and kalo. I never had kalo like that before and it was SO good. Highly recommend coming here!

The gentleman who delivered our food was great as he patiently explained each dish. The open outdoor eating area was wonderful. Will definitely...read full review
