Our last night in Kona and we wanted to catch the sunset however we didn’t make any reservations. Located on Alii drive we made it right on time for seating because they got busy and only took reservations after we got seared. They have a small bar area, outdoor ocean sunset seating and indoor. We had a party of 3 and sat indoor, the workers were super friendly and working hard. My mom got a ginger lemon tea, we got the kimchi sampler, vegetable chuka soba, and my dad wanted the papaya salad but they were out so he just got a side of grilled shrimp and white rice. Service was quick, there are TVs inside, great Hawaiian music and nice vibes. Would recommend making a reservation if you can. Nice spot to chill and enjoy the sunset by the ocean.

Ordered the dynamite fries. Really good, but the portion would feed 4-6, it was only 2 of us. The poke was excellent and the fish tacos were as well. Parking was an issue, but we survived. Located in a farely empty shopping mall, at the ocean. Day views would be wonderful. We arrived at 7:30 pm. No wait, and not busy. Recommend trying it out.

My poke bowl was really good as were the fries I also got. Most of my group enjoyed their dinners. My hibiscus soda was nothing special. The service was awesome. Very friendly and attentive. And the atmosphere was perfect. Not pretentious like the rest of Kona, lol. Small, but clean and comfortable seating area with a really cool bar with TVs should you need to catch a game. But the view! We hit up this place for dinner before our flight home from KOA and we got it perfect for sunset! It’s right near the beach with an amazing view. Perfect way to end an 8 day trip!

Stop in and enjoy the Aloha Vibes!

Aloha Vibes was the perfect lunch spot. The restaurant has a quaint charm, and the oceanside outdoor seating made it even more inviting. I ordered the poke and fish tacos, and both were incredibly fresh and full of flavor—definitely the highlight of the meal. The cucumber kimchi salad was bold and delicious, and the Japanese potato salad, which I tried for the first time, exceeded expectations. I wasn’t a fan of the pork dish, but everything else was so good it didn’t take away from the overall experience. Great food, great atmosphere, and I’d absolutely visit again.

We stopped by Aloha Vibes for lunch and discovered a fantastic spot for casual, delicious Hawaiian cuisine. The atmosphere is relaxed yet inviting, perfect for a laid-back meal. We started with the fried ahi poke tacos as an appetizer, and they were a standout—fresh, flavorful ahi paired with vibrant, mouthwatering sauces that left us wanting more.
For our mains, we ordered the Ahi Sando and the Smashburger, both of which were excellent choices. The sando was packed with bold flavors, and the smashburger was juicy and satisfying, each showcasing the restaurant’s knack for elevating classic dishes. However, the real star of the meal was the side of Dyno Fries. These crispy fries, drizzled with a delectable teriyaki sauce and animal sauce, captured the essence of Hawaii in every bite—absolutely unforgettable!
Aloha Vibes is a must-visit for anyone craving a tasty, casual Hawaiian lunch with a touch of island flair. We left full and happy.

We were looking for a quick bite to eat and stumbled upon this restaurant for lunch-and are so happy we did! Everything we ate was superb. Three of our group ordered the pork sandos and their plates were clean afterwards! The fish tacos were also great- not crazy about the fried texture of the fish but the sauce on the side was lovely and it was very filling.

Great food and amazing service, we’ll be returning to try their lunch menu. Their regular fries are perfection, but I HIGHLY recommend trying the Hurricane Fries.
