If you are a foodie and have a real appreciation for local culture, do yourself a favor and ditch your resort for the afternoon. You won't regret it! View all feedback.

What User doesn't like about Kanaka Kava:
The food was largely flavorless except the shredded pork and when we asked about kava, we were told it was only for if you were sick or for “ceremonial purposes”. They were out of most of their sides, and didn’t really tell us that the pupu platter was just the sides that were already coming with our dinner. Maybe if we’d gone during the day it would have been different. Super bizarre, not planning on going back. We... View all feedback.

"Came here every night of my stay in Kona. The laid back relaxed atmosphere along w the friendly bartender made the whole place very comfortable. I prefer darker beers and the Kiawe Vanilla Porter was my absolute favourite. Even the wife who don’t really drink beer enjoyed the hard ciders and hard juice. The fact that they had tasting portions were good for those undecided!"
