Kailua-Kona Hawaiian Restaurants features Umekes Famous Fresh Hawaiian Ahi Poke Bowl Creations

Kailua-Kona Hawaiian Restaurants features Umekes Famous Fresh Hawaiian Ahi Poke Bowl Creations which residents and visitors travel miles to get a hold of these truly Fresh Hawaiian Ahi Poke Bowl creations of culinary delight! Umekes has people that come from the mainland USA coming directly to both Umekes locations. Look it's Umekes fresh Hawaiian Ahi Poke Bowl full of onolicious delicious and to some mysterious delights! For some it's a culinary mystery especially those who are visitors to this Hawaiian paradise and very often have difficulty to say it correctly. (It is pronounced POH-keh) POKE!
These gems have been staples for centuries in the Hawaiian islands and there is a trend that is now a must have food trend. Fueled by some of the best local Poke chefs such as Sam Choy and Nakoa Pabre of Umekes Poke Shop Umekes has been a leader of creating culinary poke recipes that are creating a type of haute cuisine that is really sweeping our local and national food scenes as a trendy yet healthy, delicious food that is equally tasty as it is good for those watching their weight! So how do you create your own very delicious Fresh Hawaiian Ahi Poke bowl of raw or grilled (pulehu) tastiness? In order to find out what a professional version of a fresh Hawaiian Ahi Poke Bowl should contain we went to Kailua-Kona's own Prince of Poke, owner of Umekes Poke Shop and winner of Sam Choy's Poke competition two years running 2013 and 2014, Chef Nakoa Pabre. Chef Pabre has opened up 3 Poke eateries and has brought his unique Poke recipes to them all with such over whelming response that he is pushing the local palates of his customers to appreciate new and unusual flavors.... So we begin with the foundation of the Poke bowl which is your choice of either white rice, brown rice or quinoa. That is what we love about Umekes they give us the healthiest of choices as the starch choice helps to balance the taste of the raw poke. Chef Pabre uses furikake sprinkled on top of the rice or the quinoa if you like a little more saltiness. Furikake is finely shredded dried sea weed that really adds a nice bit of flavor enhancement. Chef Pabre has always said he takes his inspiration for his fresh Hawaiian Ahi Poke Bowl recipes from sushi and he believes that the love of Poke will over take the popularity of sushi and he wants to be the one who drives that trend. Nakoa Pabre is very considerate of his customers and has given them great choices especially in this day and age of healthful eating choices so including quinoa and brown rice is so appreciated by many of Umekes customers. The Fish is so important and as Chef Pabre has always promoted is that the fish be Ahi Sashimi quality and of the freshest quality. As G. Garvin of the Cooking Channel said to Chef Pabre upon tasting Umekes Poke , "You can taste the freshness of the fish, and the sauce isn't overpowering the taste of the fish but actually enhances it." Umekes prides itself on using the highest quality of ahi and yellowfin tuna as it is the most sweetest of the fish meats caught fresh off the Kona coast waters. When selecting fish always make sure that you keep the smell in consideration as Fresh fish has a slight fish smell but not overpowering, the texture should be firm and the color should be a nice shade of bright red. Chef Nakoa Pabre will also mix varieties of fish together to create a multi fish Hawaiian Ahi poke bowl recipe such as ono, marlin, kampachi to name a few. Umekes utilizes local fishermen to supply the best and freshest fish always for the customers of Umekes. Poke means to slice and to cut and it is important to filet the fish correctly. Umekes has a special system of slicing the fresh Ahi fish that creates such a beautiful, fresh Hawaiian Ahi poke bowl presentation. As Umekes cuts into ahi tuna fish weighing as much as 181 lbs and up so you need to be able to cut and filet with hardly any waste. And many times tourists can walk into Umekes and be treated to Lito or Chef Pabre slicing up one of those beautiful fresh Hawaiian Ahi Beasts! So they can take beautiful pictures of how the Poke process is performed and send it home to family and friends! Can't get any fresher than that fish being plucked right out of the ocean a few hours earlier. After the fresh Ahi tuna fish is cut and cubed it is salted to taste with Hawaiian salt Poke Flavoring and Sauces are what Chef Nakoa Pabre excels at being a traditionalist and an experimentalist we as his customers get to benefit from his love of both styles! Pabre likes the simple original Hawaiian style of Ahi Poke but also likes to kick it up a notch and add many many different ingredients to come up with some truly unique fresh Hawaiian Ahi Poke Bowl creations! Chef Pabre has been known to not know what he will be creating before a competition and the night before he has a dream of the ingredients puts it all together and ends up winning! He really cooks and creates from his soul! That is why Umekes is so popular with local residents but also with many many mainland visitors! Just make sure that all ingredients are super fresh and you are guaranteed to have a winning recipe... You are just limited only by your imagination as so many ingredients can be used in Poke from coffee to peanut butter believe it or not... The most basic recipe of Poke includes maui onions, sliced chopped green onions, soy sauce and inamona roasted kukui nut, and limu kohu (seaweed) and sesame seed oil.
For a more spicy recipe of a fresh Hawaiian Ahi Poke Bowl just add chili peppers, Hawaiian sea salt, some sesame seed oil mix together add some mayonnaise and patisse (fish sauce) to taste. The visual presentation of the fresh Hawaiian Ahi Poke Bowl is very important as people usually eat with their eyes as well. So the sides added to the Umekes Hawaiian Ahi Poke Bowls is so colorful from the Ho'io Salad to the Broccoli Crab Salad all bright and colorful and adds to the beauty of the fresh Hawaiian Ahi Poke Bowl. Umekes then sprinkles the furikake over the top of the hot rice or quinoa for you to enjoy the fresh Hawaiian Ahi Poke bowl with friends and family! Umekes has a very large following with their VIP POKE CLUB which gives you many discounts, promotions and money saving mobile coupons sent straight to your smart phone. Many VIP POKE CLUB members enjoy knowing they have a chance to save money and they never lose their coupons as it is on their phones. Just text the word HawaiiPoke to 71441 and you are in! Umekes prides itself on serving ALOHA DAILY so scoop on by or call ahead with your order. http://www.UmekesPoke808.com and for mobile on the go users: http://m.umekeskona.com

Nakoa Pabre owner Umekes Kona and Hawaii Cuisine


Nakoa Pabre owner Umekes Kona a Kailua-Kona resident has been able to take a traditional Hawaii preparation in food and transform it into a type of  haute cuisine. This local-style and new poke lunch eatery, Pabre, is constantly creating and playing around with new mixtures. He never compromises on the actual integrity of the dishes.

Pabre aged 35, was a plumber for over 11 years. He then decided to leave the comforts of his trade and focus all his energy into poke. He states that the reaction he gets from satisfied customers is what makes the whole journey worthwhile.

While he was growing up, Nakoa Pabre owner Umekes Kona was always helping in the preparations of food for parties, always learning and watching. Even his two sons Kanoa aged 5 and Kamalu aged 3 is already learning knife-handling skills.


In 1999, Pabre assisted in the opening of another local poke eatery with some partners but left to pursue his own establishment. Recently, he was named the overall winner of the famous competition known as “Sam Choy’s Keauhou Poke” for 2013. He was able to impress the crowds with his “Poke Bombs”, which are sushi in the shape of a cone topped with various poke.

Pabre opened Umekes to express his passion and roots in food. He has stated that poke is much more than just seasoned cubes of raw and fresh fish. It even extends beyond traditional reef and briny fish, salt, limu, inamona, shoyu and the chili peppers.



Umeke in Hawaiian means bowl, and a number of these bowls are on offer including pulehu which means to be broiled over the fire. Teriyaki beef, laulau pork or kalua, char siu (chicken) and poke or grilled fish. Along with these bowls all the guests have the choice of side dishes including: quinoa, rice, poi, kimchee salad, lomi salmon, hoio salad, broccoli and crab salad and seaweed salad. The prices for these dishes range from $7.50 up to $18.


The octopus or better known as ahi tako and the shrimp pokes come in a multitude of flavors. These pokes start at around $11.99. Dessert poppers with haupia, lilikoi, and chocolate and banana cream sell for around $3 each.
