Unforgettable Poke Nachos with Super Fresh Ahi Tuna I had the poke nachos and they were incredible! I'm not a seafood person at all, but if I can get really fresh, raw ahi tuna, I can enjoy it.

It turned out to be absolutely delicious, and one of my favorite meals of my trip to Hawaii. The poke is served on nacho-shaped, lightly-fried wontons and covered in furikake, sriracha, salsa fresca, an avocado aioli. Just the right amount of spice, full of flavor, and light at the same time. Not a bit of fishiness. The tuna was very fresh....READ LESS

Outstanding Food and Service! Outstanding Food and Service! The clam chowder and bloody marys were the best and the added Dungeness crab to the chowder and shrimp to the bloody mary topped off the meal. The respect for active military and veterens was beyond reproach. Our server "Tobi" is 5 star!!!

Fish Hopper has good food and a great view of Kona Bay. A very nice seafood restaurant right on the ocean with a great view of Kona Bay. It is open air. It opens early for breakfast, with great crab eggs Benedict and stays open for lunch and dinner. We ate there for breakfast and for dinner .Breakfast is served until 11 am. I had the local fresh catch of the day for dinner. There is free parking in the back. - 1 month ago

Amazing food and service My husband and I went here for our big honeymoon dinner. We got the steak platter and the food was phenomenal. Our waiter, Nico, was attentive and personable. The assistant general manager came by our table as well and made us feel so welcome to the town/island. It was an amazing experience we will never forget. Thank you so much to the staff, we’ll be coming back for our anniversary one day! - 1 month ago

Highly Recommended This place was highly recommended by a local shop attendant and we now highly recommend it, too. Everything we had was delicious! We had a great view of the water. Beware mystery cost of the Special Menu. We were ok with splurging, but I suggest checking out the Market price cost before purchasing. All three of us loved everything we tried. So good! - 1 month ago

Nice Dinner We had an enjoyable dinner at this restaurant on our first night in Kona. Reception was welcoming and efficient. She promptly seated us as soon as she confirmed our reservation. Wait staff introduced himself and served water. He gave us ample time to get settled and go over the menu. Their wine list is decent. The fried calamari was tender, sweet, and lightly breaded. Their house salad was crisp and fresh. Enough to share between 2 people. We enjoyed our main dish- Dungeness crab, shrimps, and scallops. The seafood was delicious! We shared a Lilikoi cheesecake. This was well worth the extra calories. Service was excellent. Staff gave us enough time between courses. They refilled water glasses and cleared dishes as needed. Overall, it was a nice and relaxing dinner. - 1 month ago

Our Best Big Island Meal This was our best meal over nine days on the Big Island. No question. First of all, the staff. From the minute we walked in the door, everyone was so friendly and welcoming. We felt it was genuine hospitality and that they were glad to have us there. Our server, Jarmyn, was a delight. From menu recommendations to brief conversation when she'd come to the table, this was one of those times when the server enhanced the meal. We loved having her as part of the experience. Even our busser Jack was a super nice guy who was happy to tell us about his favorite desserts when we asked. Lovely people all the way around. Now, the food. Fantastic. They have a phenomenal drink menu featuring traditional and island cocktails. Extensive wine list, too. The menu has something for everyone. I'm allergic to shellfish but I had no problem finding plenty of options. The poke nachos are a delicious appetizer. So fresh. And the grilled Ono was perfection. I wish we'd had a chance to go back a second time before heading home. But next time we're in Kailua-Kona, we will definitely be coming back here. - 2 months ago

Casual dining with a view We ate here twice during the 4 day stay in Kona. The service was spectacular and there’s a nice selection of food. Very pretty presentation and you can’t beat the view of the beautiful coastline just across the street. It’s an opened aired restaurant with a nice casual, island vibe. We will definitely go there again when we are back on the Big Island for sure - 2 months ago

A busy spot. Even with a reservation we had to wait 15 minutes to get seated. Prompt service at the table. Our server was cheerful and answered all our questions relative to the menu. The appetizers and entrees were plated in a way to create a strong visual appeal and they were delicious. Liked it so much that we made a reservation for lunch tomorrow . - 3 years ago

A nice open air location looking out at the beach. The food and menu were great. If you are super hungry try one of their ship platters...but bring your wallet. The drink menu was impressive. - 3 years ago

Was walking by and needed a place to eat. So glad we stopped in. The service was great and fast. Wasn't sure what to have so the waiter suggested the Ono fish and chips. It was a good meal, very tasty and filling. The fish was cooked perfectly and it had a lovely light batter. I want more. - 3 years ago

Although we didn’t get anything other than breakfast, I highly recommend Fish Hopper! It’s one of the more reasonably priced places that still taste quality. Service was great every time we went! I recommend the French toast or crab omelette. Love this place! - 3 years ago

Sat at the bar on Christmas Eve, had a cocktail and tried their Poke Nachos, Crispy Calamari and the beef and shrimp skewers. Everything was promptly delivered and it was delicious. The bartender Katie was awesome to watch her practice her craft. Our server, not sure if her name, she was on top of our needs, never missed a beat.
You must try their Bloody Mary, they are a essentially a breakfast entree.
Great food, great service!
Merry Christmas! - 3 years ago

So yummy!! Ate here on a Friday night, it was super busy but we had a reservation. We had a party of 8 and our server was great. Got our food and drinks quickly. They bring around a dessert tray to show you the desserts (and make it impossible to pass up). I had the macadamia mahi mahi. It was delicious. - 11 months ago

Best place we've eaten so far! My husband and I shared the salad special which was incredible. He got the shrimp trio and I got the fish tacos. Everything was great. The coconut shrimp in the shrimp trio was my favorite aside from the salad. The service was also wonderful and you can't beat the scenery. Would highly recommend. In fact, we may visit again before our trip is over. - 1 year ago

The restaurant has very nice view of the ocean. You and sit and have a POG mimosa (highly recommended) while watching people swim/train. The loco moco is very good. Their brown gravy is delicious. The service was excellent the first day we went but on the second time it was just okay. Nothing terrible but the first day was much better. Also the fruit plate was not good, all the fruit was bland. Also the Kona fried rice was salty. It looked delicious and it was overly salty where I couldn't eat but more than my liking.
Final verdict: I would eat here again and have a POG mimosa and loco moco for breakfast. - 1 year ago

One of our favorite places on the big island. The view of the bay is fantastic. Get there off peak times and sit on the rail to people watch. High tide with onshore winds are amusing to observe. If you've been there you know what I'm talking about.
Good food, the Sand Dabs and veggies are good. Awesome deserts. - 1 year ago

My first time going to this restaurant. It was our last dinner before leaving the Big Island! I ordered salad, salmon with vegetables and rice and had bread pudding for dessert. Every part of the meal was delicious! We made reservations ahead of time and were seated at a table with a view of the ocean! It was a great experience for our last day. I will come back the next time we visit Kona - 1 year ago

I came here for breakfast and the food was absolutely delicious! I had to splurge and get a dessert. I selected the mango lime cheesecake, but they all looked amazing! I will definitely return to try more out! - 1 year ago

Stopped here during cruise ship vacation. Very happening place in Kona, Hi. Takes longer to get your food but it is good food. Happy hour margarita and blood Mary was watery. Kids grilled cheese was amazing. Grilled chicken sandwich was fresh and good. Expensive for lunch but worth it. Good for groups. - 1 year ago
