Pono Market

Pono Market is a Kapaa poke spot on Kauaʻi, known for plate lunch, musubi and ahi. Fresh ahi, shoyu, sesame — cut right out of the ice case. Buy it by the pound, eat it standing up. Pono Market is a recognized local classic. Da Plate Lunch Index ranks it on local votes — Kauaʻi residents who actually eat here, not visitors rating it once.
