I have been living in Kona for 21 years, and I have to be honest, it took a while to get used to the Hawaiian cuisine. Needless to say, after all these years, I even learned to differentiate the various local dishes. Simply put, there is no better poke found anywhere on this island than at Da Poke Shack, and... More

I'm not much of a raw fish person cause it usually tastes fishy and I can't eat it. But I just had the avocado poke and it was great! Came with rice and a side.

This is a great little place. We were obviously first timers here, so they explained the menu to us and offered us samples of the different choices of the day. There are only a couple of picnic tables in front, but they directed us to a table around back overlooking the ocean. It was one of my most memorable meals... More

I was craving good poke while our stay on the island so we used the Trip Advisor mobile app and found this place. The poke was super fresh and excellent! They had different flavors of poke to choose from. They cut the fish right there in front of you. This isn't a place to sit down and eat so we... More

Had our food to go on our way to the volcano. The staff was super helpful and packed up all of our selections so we would have no issues on the car ride. I was unsure if I would like one of the selections and they offered me a sample which was nice. everything was great would stop there again.

My friends and I catch a lot of Yellowfin Tuna (Ahi) and make a lot of different kinds of Poke. I think I'll stop making Poke. I tried all but two of their selections and they were all great. I finally settled on the daily special. What made the special, special was the inclusion fresh ginger. It was terrific.
