“innovative Japanese fusion food, along with with outstanding classics such as a full line of sushi, sashimi and other favorites. Of particular mention is the dynamite shrimp - crispy panko-coated shrimp with a masago smelt aioli and a unagi glaze, and the crab ramen with cilantro, scallion, Thai basil and jalapeño in a truffle butter broth - UMAMI BOMB! I only wish I had room for the lobster-crab ravioli in a truffle-Madeira-cream sauce. Just thinking about it gives me the shakes. Glad I’m moving to Kona, or I’d never survive waiting for that dish (!)“

“Great way to eat on or near the resort grounds! A bit short on the veggies if you ask me, but you can't beat how easy it was.

Vegetarian options: Almost zero - if you're a veggie person, you're making your own stuff.“

“Fantastic, fresh fish at a reasonable price. That is hard to find on the island! Staff were very friendly, everything came out quickly, and the quality was great on every item! We had sashimi, several rolls, chirashi bowl. Patricia, our server, was fantastic and we managed to get in early for our reservation!“

“TLDR good for nice dinner in a pinch but there are other better options on this side of the island.

Takoyaki were OK, lacked flavor a bit and not as much octopus in them.

Volcano Roll delicious. Bincho Roll also very good, and would order again but not the best Waygu I had in the area (CanoeHouse Waygu Tataki was 2x better).

Sashimi Set high quality fish.

Grilled Kanpachi SO good, I went back and ordered it again. The fish itself is so soft and moist. The mushrooms add incredible flavor and texture. A little pricey (~$60) for the portion but not unheard of for the area/hotel.

Atmosphere was just weird....super empty. No one inside either time we went around 7/8pm. Outside was quiet and we ended up being one of the only people out there.“

“Always wanted to try this place and it didn't disappoint. Beautiful dining experience seeing the sunset and enjoying the unique cuisine. We had the seafood tower and tried the tasting menu. Drinks were also great. The service was wonderful and one of the best parts of our experience. Thank you CanoeHouse!“
