Amazing food, huge portions for a reasonable price! The staff is so kind and attentive. I cannot wait to come back. Definitely check this place out if you’re in the area!

Best catering on the west side! Alexi offered us delicious off menu items and promptly arrived with a dozen trays for the 100 friends and family that attended our wedding. Everyone enjoyed large portions and delicious food. Thank you Alexia!

Don't let the drive and exterior fool you, this little quant place may look like a hole in the wall, but it's far from it! Once you step inside you are greeted by the staff and have a small selection of tables to choose from, if they aren't too busy I would recommend sitting down and dining in, if they are busy and you have plenty of time, order to go and take your food to the beach park across the way! If you arrive early enough you might be able to snag a turnover! But if not the Cream puff was delicious and the brownie looks excellent! I had the Loco Moco, and my wife had the Garlic Chicken with noodles. Deni was the best! You definitely get your money's worth here! Portions are big, flavorful and the Garlic Chicken has a nice sweet flavor while also being crunchy, juicy and tender! We definitely will come by again when we can!

Saw your restaurant on youtuber Sean Kaleponi Loved the Garlic chicken ,Fried chicken and hurricane chicken. Everything was was AMAZING!! Service and restaurant excellent!!! Mahalo

I'm not sure how we found this restaurant but I'm sure glad we did. What a gem.My wife and I had the garlic chicken but with different noodles. Both were awesome. I'm not sure how they kept the chicken so juicey while deep frying them with batter but they pulled it off.Our guest had the katsu chicken which I also tried. This was also very good but the sauce really stole the show on that plate.My daughter had a cheese burger with some loaded fries which she really enjoyed. I tried the fries. The sauce was epic.This is must stop of you are in the area. And try the deserts!

We visited Pokai Bay Restaurant for lunch during a sweltering Hawaiian day, and it turned out to be a great experience. The restaurant itself is charming, offering a welcoming and relaxed atmosphere that complemented the tropical surroundings perfectly.The staff were exceptional—friendly, attentive, and impressively fast. Their service added an extra layer of warmth to an already delightful outing.The food was the real highlight. We ordered an array of dishes, starting with the Mahi-Mahi sandwich accompanied by garlic fries—both bursting with flavor and cooked to perfection. The Mahi-Mahi plates and Hurricane Chicken fried noodles were equally impressive, with fresh ingredients and well-balanced flavors. I also opted for the buttered chicken with salad, and it didn’t disappoint. Everything tasted homemade, light, and far from greasy, embodying comfort food at its best.The portions were generous, and the prices surprisingly reasonable for the quality of food we enjoyed. It was clear that the restaurant takes great pride in delivering satisfying meals that feel both elevated and approachable.Although we didn’t have a chance to try their desserts, they looked absolutely delicious, so we’re already looking forward to our next visit. Overall, Pokai Bay Restaurant is a gem that delivers fresh, tasty food, wonderful service, and unbeatable value. Highly recommended!

Great little restaurant. Only has six tables which is great so there can't be too many people! We got lucky and a table opened up as we got here.
