Nakoa Pabre owner Umekes Kona and Hawaii Cuisine 1.808.329.3050

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.
Over the last few years, Nakoa Pabre owner Umekes Kona has become more adventurous and claims that his diners have become more willing and open minded about eating raw fish. For any seafood or fish lover Umekes only requires a very large appetite. Poke has been a very large staple in the areas of Hawaii and has become a popular main dish.  Join the Umekes VIP POKE CLUB for awesome mobile coupons that give great discounts that the general public don't receive.  Just text the word "HawaiiPoke" case sensitive to 71441 and you will get your first great values discount coupon to your mobile device and get monthly discounts as long as you remain a member.
