Pa'akai Poke Deli - Kailua-Kona

Decent. small salty, and the spicy california was neither spicy nor typical Californian taste. imitation krabbe was hard and chewing. reis was also old. fetches the job done, but I will stand for another place. great service tho. thanks!

Best Poke and Seafood shop. Shop was super clean, fresh and organized. We got Nacho Poke, and 4 different variations of poke combo bowls. I'm a Hawaiian poke fan so I love not too saucy poke and they nailed it. Generous Inamona and Ogo flavoring. All the other poke flavorings were dialed in as well. I was impressed to see Ho'io and Ogo as sides. Must stop Poke Shop Reel Aloha

It really seems to depend upon who is cooking. My wife went one day with a friend and she could not stop talking about the fish tacos. So she took me there and was very disappointed. She said, It's like I am eating at a completely different restaurant I can only speak to my experience, as hers is a bit tainted. We ordered the grilled fish tacos and the ahi cakes. My wife did not like the ahi cakes, eating one bite and telling me the rest were mine. Personally, they were okay but on the dry side. They were fairly thin and that makes cooking a bit trickier. The garlic aioli sauces was great, however the pineapple salsa was a bit sparse and soupy. As for the fish tacos, they were good, however the fish log was dry and the coleslaw and avocado was skimpy. The prices were $22 for three fish tacos and $14 for three ahi cakes. For roughly $40 for two entrees, I expected the quality to be better. My wife who was so enthusiastic to take me, will not be coming back.

PA' AKAI is my Go-to Poke Spot in the heart of Kona. Women Owned and empowered! Thank you Faith for great service. She always has a smile..even with a mask ? ?

This is the best poke we had on the island for sure. These folks catch it fresh daily and you can tell really buttery texture and so delicious. Also, the team is super friendly and helpful. The shoyu ahi poke is my favorite hands down. Def try it if you’re in Kona!
