27 Best Seafood Restaurants in Kailua Kona

“We showed up around 12:45 on a Saturday in early May and they only had 1 kind of poke left (Hawaiian). And all their dessert parfaits were sold out. I will say that the quality of the ahi was 10/10, trimmed perfectly and truly melted in your mouth. I didn't care for the Rock salt in the Hawaiian style poke, it was too salty and I would not order it again. But the fish was fantastic and the rice was spot on. Next time we go back we will be sure to go before noon to have more options for ordering!“

“Absolutely love this place wonderful Aloha vibes! Live music is also great. 😊“

“If you're looking for fresh poke with 0 frills, this is the spot. I ordered a platter which came with 4 poke option and 2 sides. I got seaweed salad and 4 hearty size scoops of yummy fish. Parking is hard to find and there are a few picnic tables for your dining pleasure. Worth it 💯“

“We got the seafood pasta!! Throughly enjoyed!!! Would recommend. Our steak was also cooked perfectly! Good portions and the food was nice and hot!“

“Great menu and drink selections. The atmosphere is so relaxed and the ocean is just a few feet away. Samantha and Ryan are two of the best, and the rest of the crew are fantastic as well. You can sit outside or in, or bs with the bartenders. Love this place. 10 stars“

“We had a catfish basket and a shrimp boil. Both were very good with a lot of food. One of the better meals we had while traveling. It was not busy, very clean
Server was very pleasant and kept drinks filled and made sure we had everything for our meal.
Catfish basket came with fries. Shrimp boil had 1 small potato and 1 small ear of corn. We had 2 drinks and order of cheesesticks. Bill was about $60
Would definitely go back“

“Got there one hour before closing. Parking is behind the building; there is a homeless encampment to the North of the building but they don't bother anyone. Wait to get in was about 15 min. The staff was quick in taking the order and bringing out the food. Everything we ordered was excellent, we will come back.“

“We learned so much and Carlos was a great tour guide! It’s so interesting and informative! I highly recommend this tour. Everyone was friendly and answered all of our questions!“

“Our food was delicious and made to order. Kalua Loco moco was the first for me but so glad I tried it. Husband had the fresh ahi tuna sandwich, cooked great. 👍🏻“

“My fishmonger! Always fresh and a caring staff! Macadamia crusted Ono!“

“Super great food, with an Asian touch. The poke and the fries were amazing!“

“I was in Hawaii for a few days and I ate at Jackie Rey’s for one of those evenings. The food, atmosphere and staff were spectacular. Not the mention, the food layout was incredible. I highly recommend. Mahalo.“

“Awesome place Go Pack Go !“

“Our server Angel was amazing! Super friendly, prompt and engaging!“

“Came here with my girls for some bites, drinks, and a sunset view. Not disappointed. The view is amazing! The service all around is great, and special shout out to Cheyne our bartender. He took great care of us!! Jour was also amazing and made us feel so welcomed.“

“My wife and I celebrated our 20th Anniversary on the Big Island and wanted to experience the best the island had to offer. Ulu Ocean Grille did not disappoint! Here is a summary of our dinner: We thoroughly enjoyed the Ebi Tempura roll - (it was good enough that we have encouraged several family members to join us at Ulu this evening for sushi and dinner) For our entrées we had the Mahi Mahi and the Spicy Crab Noodles. Both were perfectly prepared, very flavorful, and the presentation was perfect. For dessert, we couldn't decide between the chocolate or vanilla (the flavor of the evening) soufflé, so we got one of each (you only celebrate 20 years once!). Again, perfectly prepared and presented and was thoroughly enjoyed. And I can't overstate how excellent the service was. The staff went out of their way to make the experience memorable. It was the best dining experience I have ever had and I don't expect to top it soon, unless they outdo themselves when we return this evening. Ulu & Four Seasons Resort - well done!“

“Great night celebrating my Dads visit to Kona. Da Bomb fries and Kona fish tacos were delicious. Service was friendly and attentive, Widdy Loo - entertained- the beautiful Kona sunset was spectacular! Thanks for a wonderful evening!“

“Friendly service. Good food and quiet. Nice roomy outdoor seating“

“Nice atmosphere, decent prices, beer prices are crazy, $8/bottle of domestic but I buy 12 pack of Kona brewing big wave brew at local store for $15. Fries were crisp and fresh, fish was frozen cod, expecting local fish for $19, but i was happy with the meal. I would and I will return again to this place.“

“Great place to meet friends for the amazing schooners!“

“Excellent food. Friendly wait staff. Good value for money. We had the chicken and corn soup, roast duck, and fried rice. The first two items were exceptional- as good as you can find in mainland US in a big metro. The fried rice was decent.

This is a way better restaurant than what the 4.0 rating suggests.“

“food delish, lunch special for pad thai was awesome!“

“I just found this place today. What a great location, high above the shopping center. The views go for miles. I ordered the Coconut Shrimp and a Raspberry Rita, which was so pretty, with the sugar rim. Friendly service & yummy food.“

“Best Asian ribs and sushi ever!“

“Great quiet views of the bay! This place is tucked away within a shopping area so it is easy to miss but I am so glad we found it. It was a relaxing location to sit for dinner after the sunset. I had the Mahi Mahi fish and chips. It was all good and so we're the pina coladas.“
