Fodor's Review:

A popular local hang out, and not just because da kava makes you mellow. Their pupu rock! Fresh poke, smoky, tender bowls of pulled kalua pork, and healthy sautéed veggies are available in fairly large portions for less than you'll pay anywhere else on the island. Seating tends to be at a premium, but don't be afraid to share a table and make friends.
