Pono Market - Kapa‘a

Pono Market offers authentic Hawaiian cuisine at affordable prices. We were recommended by two employees from a neighboring bicycle rental shop for their "local food." We tried the Pork Laulau and Chicken Laulau, both of which were freshly made and delicious. The meat is wrapped in taro leaves and slow-cooked for six hours, giving it a unique flavor similar to spinach. Overall, we were extremely satisfied with our dining experience.

The poke bowl was tasty and definitely met expectations. However, I was disappointed that they didn't have sesame topping when I went there late.

This is a must-go for us whenever we are in Kauai! We've tried everything and there is nothing we didn't like! My favorites are pork lau lau and ginger chicken.

After being recommended by several locals, I decided to give this place a try and I was not disappointed. The food was amazing and the staff was so friendly and helpful. I ordered the Kalua Pig, spicy poke, cucumber kimchi, and macaroni salad, and every bite was better than the last. Thank you to the staff for a great dining experience!
