    We love everything about 'Ulu - the atmosphere, service, use of local ingredients, and the creative, delicious use of those ingredients. It's our go to date night restaurant every time we come to Kona, and it's fabulous every time.

    The third of four stops on our anniversary week dining experience, Ulu did not disappoint! It's actually our second time there, but it's been 8 years since the first visit. We normally like to try places we've never been before, but our first experience there deserved an encore ... and they delivered once again. Tableside poke (sure, it's a marketing thing but you gotta like it), smoked pork belly bao, king crab mochi noodles and homemade lilikoi ice cream ... yum! A third visit just may be in the cards!
