What Ginelle M doesn't like about Da Poke Shack:
Came here since it’s a popular Poke restaurant in Kona. Hype just seems to drive customers in.. However, we were disappointed with the quality and portion, cuts were smaller than bite-size and portion is pretty small compared to other competitors. Me and my cousins ordered a few different flavours and most of them were salty or underwhelming. Restaurant also does not seem to be neat nor tidy. View all feedback. What Tina Tsambas likes about Da Poke Shack:
Fantastic poke! Couldn’t be tastier. Note on the vibe: If you’ve been to Katz delicatessen in New York, or you’ve seen the Soup Nazi episode of Seinfeld, same energy. So don’t get your knickers in a twist, just know what you want when you get to the counter. I ordered the Pele’s Kiss and Shack Special with white rice w/furikake and quinoa. View all feedback.

This restaurant on the Big Island is known for serving the best poke found on the island. While it may be a bit challenging to get to, the fresh and tasty poke options make it worth the effort. With a variety of flavors to choose from, customers can select their favorites, such as the Shack Special or Pele's Kiss. The sides are decent, but the poke is the star of the show. The restaurant can get busy, so arriving early is recommended to avoid sold-out items. Despite some minor inconveniences like limited hours and lines, this spot is a must-visit for poke lovers looking for quality and freshness.
