Pa'akai Poke
Restaurant
👍👍 Of all the food I had during my stay in Kona this poke bowl has stuck with me most. It’s the best poke I’ve ever had in my life. So fresh, so flavorful, absolutely sets the bar for all that is poke. Tiny little place but big time execution. Don’t miss it.

👍👍 May 2023:
Stopped by for a few salads and a flight of 🍻.
Salads were tasty. I had the falafel 🧆 salad and I thought the balance of ingredients was perfect.
I'm a big fan of hazy IPAs. There weren't any hazy IPA choices so I tried the pale ale, the hazy session IPA, the milkshake IPA and the A'A...

KBXtreme Hawaii's Premier Family Entertainment Center
Amusement center
👍👍 My husband and I had a wonderful date here playing arcade games and pool. Pretty reasonably priced, and hours of fun! A great activity for a rainy day on the big island. Hopefully next time the bowling alley portion will be less crowded, so we'll be able to play, but we still had a great time!
