We loved this location when it was Umeke's, and it's even better now under new ownership. We enjoyed the umami ahi and the ponzu salmon. Take it to go and sit down by the waterfront a block away.

Hands down the BEST poke of Kona Island. We tried all highly rated places and only this one really hit all the high marks. High-quality rice cooked to perfection (we had a lot of bad rice at other places), amazing fish (fresh and perfectly seasoned) and fantastic price. We are surely going to be back. 本当にご馳走様ですた!

This place was so good I went back the next day for poke breakfast. You just have to eat here, the food speaks for itself.

Fresh tuna with minimal dressing to not mask the taste. There’s free parking and a cute area to eat right next to it. The service wasn’t the fastest so be patient.

Excellent. Fresh, quick and friendly service. Several different options for rice, sides, poke types to customize your set up. My new poke go-to in Kona!

A good small local shop that sells a good assortment of poke. Ordering is really simple from 2 touch screens. Staff is nice and friendly. Definitely like all the options they have. They also have some outdoor seating with some shade.

Yummy fresh poke! I was mostly intrigued by this place because I saw the coconut ube side and new I had to try it. They have a few different options of sizes you can get and also a huge variety of poke. I opted for the mini plus which came with furikake rice, your choice of poke, and a side. I got the umami poke since I had never seen that one before, and the coconut ube side. The poke was quite good - I've never had chili oil poke but it was yummy and had that classic chili taste. I also really enjoyed the coconut ube side as it had a nice balance of both flavors and was a good break in between the bites. They have some tables outside to sit at so you can eat your meal outside. I would recommend this spot!

Excellent food. Have to use the self service kiosk to order and the interface is awkward.
