Reviews
We came for an early lunch but it seems like we might have gotten here at the wrong time, there was very little in the cooler. I see in other reviews there were pictures of sushi but there was no sushi when we came. The ocean salad was delicious, poke was good, and the steamed taro-wrapped chicken and pork were just ok, pretty pricey for lunch though. There is no seating to eat here, not even a bench outside.
We came here two times during our short 4-day visit to Kauai. There are many local Hawaiian dishes to choose from and the price was reasonable. It's conveniently located on the main street, so we typically stopped by to grab some food to go and we enjoyed the lunch during our hiking trips. Parking was limited since only street parking was available, but we were lucky and found a parking spot right in front of the store both times. There's no seating available, so just order something to go and you can enjoy the good food either in the green mountains or at the aqua beach.
The spicy ahi poke is absolutely delicious. Try the ocean salad! The staff were all super friendly. Prices are more than fair for high quality seafood.
Stopped by for a rest and a cold treat while passing nearby on a coastal bike path. Pretty excellent every way you can look at it.
Honestly, this is gourment dining on a diner's plate menu. The food is off the chart excellent. Yes, you are eating with plastic utensils and your food is in a box, but close your eyes and you would swear you were eating at a five star resort (minus the five star resort prices). Our meals were approximately $10 each.
I had a number one with pork ribs and my wife had a number one with Kalau (pulled pork). Our friends had the chicken Lau Lau. Everyone loved their selection.
The only down side is everything is take out so you have to find somewhere to eat. We ate at some picnic tables nearby, but they did not belong to Pono Market. Thankfully we didn't get run off.
Would I recommend that you go to this place? Well, I would recommend that you RUSH to this place if you find yourself nearby.
Excellent food, friendly service, great selections of food.
Who would have thought that you can get such amazing food in such an unsuspectingly looking place. My spicy ahi poke was DELICIOUS, my husband also loved his spicy scallops. On top of that, it was only 10$ each! You have to try this place when in Kapaa.
Our favorite place to visit and have the spicy ahi tuna poke bowl. Just a small little shop but very nice people and good food.
Just be aware this is a little deli style place. Grab-n-go. No place to sit but that's ok when we are driving around exploring. Take it to the park or beach or wherever.
Great stop to grab food for lunch!
Hot plates 5 stars,
I felt the poke was more 4 stars compared to other poke places
