Good staff, food were good, ambiance was great. We came here as it was recommended by a friend. We tried their loco moco version and fried fish, all were to our liking and were really filling. The only thing I can say is that it was a little pricey. Nevertheless, it’s a good choice when you are look
Umekes is a great place to enjoy some delicious Hawaiian food. The portions are generous and the flavors are authentic. The wait time might be a bit long, but it is worth it. The staff are friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere is cozy and inviting. I highly recommend this place to anyone who lo
5 out of 5 for sure! Our appetizer arrived promptly. The poke and the Lau Lau were fantastic. This was definitely one of my favorite meals on our vacation in Hawaii. They also had live music, and our server was very attentive and friendly. Thank you!
Delicious food. I had the fish tacos, and they were wonderful. My husband had the Kamachi, raised just off the coast, and it was cooked perfectly. My daughter had the Mo Loco, it was disappointing, too salty and she is a salt lover! Our friend had the poke, it was delicious.
We never miss a trip to Umekes when we visit. The poke is second to none, the cocktails are creative and perfectly balanced, and the staff are friendly and attentive. We had the tempura fish tacos, pork nachos, and fries ( not all in the same visit... lol) We actually purchased 4 filets of mahi mahi
It was a very enjoyable dinner. The vibe of the restaurant is relaxed and vibrant, with a lovely outdoor area. We loved our food - The Next Level Lau Lau was very flavourful and we loved the fried egg and the crunchy wrap. The Da Avo Poke (with mahi) was refreshing and tasty. Servings were very gene
We tried getting reservations the day before a d the morning of, but we're told there was none available for our party of 9. I was told over the phone that we could come in and join the wait list in person. I called about 30 min before we arrived and was told there was a short wait for our party. W
Best of the ~5 poke spots we tried on the big island!
Food:
Poke: 5/5 - We got the big boy plate twice and both times were amazing. Each time we got the Hottie (spicy ahi) and their POD or poke of the day. The first time the POD was garlic calamansi ono and the second was garlic cilantro avocado a
Pretty good food. I've had better fish and chips elsewhere but overall good experience. The fish tacos were exceptional and pina coladas divine. Our server was kind and attentive. They've also got a really nice fish market. We took home some delicious poke to enjoy later. We would definitely visit a
Delicious! We found Umekes thanks to an episode of Diners, Drive in and Dives. Wonderful atmosphere. The food outstanding. Our server was an absolute amazing woman. We will definitely be back. A must visit and enjoy place.

We had Umekes cater our rehearsal dinner the night before our wedding and we absolutely loved it!! Food was delicious, great portions and great quality! Communication and recommendations via email with Tina was really helpful and seamless! Thank you so much!!
We have been eating here since the they have opened. During this years visit, we dined there 5 nights in total (Nov 2023),the way they served the fish was not consistent (overcooked for my taste), so you have to tell them how you want your fish to be grilled in detail. Otherwise, everything is fresh
What a find, fresh air, fresh food and fantastic service.
The Special Stir Fry was indeed SPECIAL tantalizing explosive mix of shrimp & fish and a shameless portion.
Our table also had the Poke, Combo and Salad with everyone enjoying their order.
A definate "Don't Miss or Pass Up" when you're in the
It was sooo delicious 🥰 definitely I can recommend Nachos. Service was great, they even give us try AHi before :) so it was easy choice.
Can’t wait to another visit!
