Where to Eat the World’s Most Iconic Foods - Eater

"Of all the misconceptions about poke (how to spell it, that it should ever include kale), the biggest mistake is thinking the dish needs to be a flashy production. 'That liquor store serves great poke' is not a sentence you hear on the Mainland, but it’s par for the course in Honolulu, where excellent poke emerges from the humblest settings: supermarkets, strip malls, piers. Pick out the freshest-looking option from the deli case and enjoy your prized takeout at the beach." - Eater Staff

DO NOT ORDER NACHOS It was my first time order nachos from here. They charged me $10 +tax. Cashier mentioned some meat, jalapeños, and cheese. There was no meat on it. I got cheese and jalapeños on the nachos and it took 10 minutes? I can just buy chips and cheese and it will cost less than that. They lied to me.

The spicy ahi and ahi bomb are so good! Had it once and to come back for more! A definitely must-try when you are in the area. Got a lot of great recommendations from the staff of the best places to try stuff to try! Made us feel welcomed

Unexpectedly found my new late night dinner spot. Catfish with sweet tea is the perfect late night combo

They give you less food or take very very very long if you are a tourist. Saw multiple people be served ahead who were obvious regulars and they were super rude.

Seriously love their Ahi Bombs. Great late night spot.

No longer exists. It is a taco truck and burger shop now. Nice service but not anything it is being advertised as.

I finish work at midnight, and my husband picked me up so we decided to come here after work. It's in a very sketchy area. Parking can be difficult and a lot of drunk people in the vicinity as the food truck is by the club. I definitely recommend trying this place with someone, try not to go by yourself. There were a few people ahead of us but already waiting for their order. We waited around 12-15 minutes for our order. They also accept cards! We ordered: * Spicy Ahi Poke Bowl -- tasted kind of sour? But it's missing a lot of flavour. I found it very bland. I've had a better poke bowl from Foodland. * Ahi Bombs -- there's definitely ahi there but there's also canned tuna, I think? That's what the texture felt like. Not really worth the $12. * Kalbi Short rib plate -- this was delicious and we saw them grilling it too. So very fresh! I wish it was a little bit more, though. It also came with salad. Instagram definitely hyped this place too much. Not really worth it.

Late night munchies meets gourmet dining. It's almost a shame that this amazing truck is only available so late at night. Especially since I'm visiting from SoCal. But it's worth adding another meal into your day, or should I say, night. Then order more food for your lunch the next day. After a night out at the club with friends or lounging at the hotel pool, get your foodie fix here. The ahi bomb was my favorite. Locals and visitors alike, come check it out. And don't forget to tell a friend. Cheers to the owner and best wishes to your growth.

Awesome little food truck right outside Club Rock-za. Great for a quick post-outing/post-drinking tummy filler. Poke bowls come in a cute ice cream style cup WITH a lid! Spicy ahi is on point. And for the non-poke fans, they have kalua as an alternative. Still super delicious. Extra bonus, the place is very well lit. That's a plus in my book! Stop by for a quick bite before heading home or to your next adventure.

DO NOT GO HERE. Service is absolutely horrible. Multiple addresses that leads to nowhere. Phone does not pickup to help out. Did not actually get food but I can only imagine the service to be even worse.

Food was delicious and hit the spot. As a late night food spot I was surprised the food was fresh tasting and had plenty flavor. We ordered 2 spicy ahi bowls for 15 dollars each. I would definitely recommend especially since everything closes early these days.

Really good and thick temaki w light ogo and cucumber. Worth the money. Try the ahi bombs too! They can substitute crab if you ask nicely.

I'm disgusted. I wish I could use a different word to describe this poke shack, but this place needs help overall. First, they were backed up a bit. Only two people worked in the shack the night we went, a Saturday night (so that part is understandable). There was an Uber Eats order and two other orders ahead of mine. It was about a 25-minute wait for an order of two poke bowls, their Spicy Ahi and Ginger Onion Ahi. Don't get me wrong, the food was not the worst on the island, so that'll get them two stars. Their Ginger Onion was notably better than their Spicy Ahi (which had almost no flavor), BUT the rice was a huge no. Come on. How does a "POKE COMPANY" mess up the rice... the rice should have been soft and warm, not hard and cold in some parts. You know when you have 3-day-old rice sitting in the fridge? Yeah, that's basically what they were serving under that scoop of bland poke. We had to add shoyu to the poke and rice to make it all taste... of flavor. Read that again. We had to add SHOYU to the rice and poke... Second, their customer service was horrible. Let me get into the story for you. We walked up to the register part of the truck with no greeting or smile, just the worker waiting for our order with an annoyed face. When ordering, we asked if we could get a sample as it was our first time here. The guy in the front said, "That's what you're gonna get," rudely. We thought he didn't hear us correctly, so my boyfriend asked again, "Yeah, can we try a sample of the ginger onion and spicy ahi?" all while the worker was tapping his screen, notably not about to get any sample for us. The worker said, "So you guys want the ginger onion and spicy ahi?" rudely again. Keep in mind, I only wanted to ask to try a sample since we saw other reviews state that they received samples. This guy in the front could have easily just said, "Sorry, no samples," and we could have just taken a minute to rethink our order. Instead, I just said whatever and that it was good, and we'll go ahead and order those two bowls. No issue; we paid and waited after he told us they were backed up and there would be about a 20 min wait. We had no issue not receiving a sample. He could have responded with good customer service rather than ignoring our question. Third, this is the problematic part of this experience. When we finally got our food, the guy in the front made eye contact with us, and we said thank yous. He handed us the bowls and two pairs of bamboo chopsticks and asked if we wanted shoyu. We said, "Yes, please!" and he handed us a couple of packets. When my boyfriend turned while holding everything (right in front of the register still), one pair of chopsticks fell onto the sidewalk. He picked it up off the dirty floor, and I asked him to ask for another one while I threw that pair away. I looked up right after throwing the pair in the trash while hearing my bf ask the worker for another pair, explaining it FELL ON THE GROUND. The worker hands us that extra pair of chopsticks while asking for the dirty one back. When my bf has to explain AGAIN (maybe listen to your customers?) that it dropped on the floor, the worker almost wants to take the chopsticks back and does that hand gesture that says, "Bro, wtf?!" while giving my bf a stank face. So again, my bf has to state it fell on the floor, so we threw it away, and the worker walked away annoyed and upset at it. What's the problem here? It seems like he would have just given it to the next person. Unsanitary. I got an ick real quick. Those bamboo chopsticks are like $0.10 each in bulk... was the $0.10 worth catching an attitude for? And if you're unfamiliar with the area, you're looking at a strip club to your left and a liquor store to your right. Trust me when I say it just gets worse if you walk down the street between the strip club and Sura, be careful if you're by yourself! This food is just not worth it enough to try and find parking around a dark street full of homeless people, walk past drunk people from the strip club, or wait for your order right next to busy Kapiolani. So if you're thinking of trying this place out, don't. There are many better, tastier, and more enjoyable spots beside this shack. If you're looking at dinner, the trucks down the street should be open (let me recommend KASIAN KREATIONS!!! they're AMAZING) or Sura!! I'd recommend driving towards a different area for lunch as the trucks and Sura are heavier meals, better for indulging for dinner. If you do end up trying this place out, don't expect your utensils (or even food) to be sanitary. Not surprised they don't have any routine inspections posted on their Yelp page. Just try not to think about it while you eat your poke at 2 in the morning. Then again, this place seems perfect if you're drunk and not thinking anyways. MMM possible food violations

Imagine it's late you just got done working out and your drained and hungry and you didn't take anything out to cook......but the only things " open " is fast food. Then you remember there's a place that's got all the late night grindz, HNL Poke company is the #1 late night food spot on Oahu hands down..... customer service was warm and the vibe was a 10/10.... Get plenty people complaining about the wait but the food is " MADE TO ORDER" that's as good as it gets brah you got good food being made in front of you and the time put into the food was awesome.... No pics cuz I pau eat already but imma rate what I got. Chicken, rice and salad- 9 out of 10 ( needs a lil more dressings on the salad) Ahi bombs- 10/10 ( spicy !! But we LIKE SPICY) Thanks HNL POKE CO... I hope god blesses you and your business is successful.

Located on Kapiolani Boulevard, HNL Poke Co. is the perfect spot for a late night bite! Been wanting to come for a while after seeing posts on IG and finally came with friends after a long night out. We got the steak plate, kalua pig nachos, and the Hawaiian plate - both plates and the nachos had generous portion sizes and were super ono. Would definitely recommend if you don't have insomnia - it's worth the late night out!

If this is the same place as the one in Hawaiian Bryan's, service is awful. I think he stuck one of the cue sticks up himself. Idk what his issue was but I came up to the counter polite and was met with probably the worst service I've ever been dealt with. He exhaled into my face with his what Id describe as dehydrated smelling breath and rolled his eyes at me when I asked to pay for my orders separately. He then proceeded to over salt the food I had ordered and let it sit on the counter for almost an hour. I asked if it had been sitting there for a while he scoffed and said "yeah". I told him my buzzer never went off and he was like "yeah maybe it's the battery or something" despite it lighting up every few seconds to indicate it was charged. Honestly, if his business is to make mediocre food and piss people off then my ratings for him would be off the charts.

Never thought I'd get premium grade steak at a food truck!!! I definitely recommend this spot! Perfectly seasoned and not over cooked!
