Nourishing patrons with locally sourced food and spiritually with love of Hawaiian culture, tradition is literally built into Waiahole Poi Factory. Its origins date from 1905 when it was constructed as a poi-making enterprise, and was in operation for nearly 70 years until 1971. Through the decades, it had one time been transformed into an art gallery, then received a revival when it was refurbished to again produce poi.
Beginning in 2009, the business became a full- time homemade Hawaiian food and hand-pounded poi restaurant.
The owners emphasize that the mission of Waiahole Poi Factory is to create a place sharing Hawaiian culture through food, along with supporting community agriculture and farmers.
