I bought a dozen poi balls yesterday and was disappointed as they were hard as rocks. Had to throw them out. My suggestion is to cook them while customers wait so they will be fresh.
Delicious poi and haupia balls. And very cheap too. I'm surprised they have so little reviews. Make sure you check their Facebook to see if they're open and at which location.
During our first visit to Hawaii, we decided Poi Balls Hawaii was a destination we had to make part of our trip. It had been lightly raining all morning, but by that point in our trip we had learned that unlike the mainland, a little rain didn't mean everything closed up. We drove slowly commenting about the very nicely paved streets of this piece of Hilo, and keeping an eye out for the Poi Balls Hawaii stand. We spotted PBH's cheerful bright yellow flags, and big smiles spread across both our faces. The stand smells very good. We tried a little of everything, and we were glad we did!
