"This daytime small Hawaiian “island-style” shop, which has been in its Ocean Beach location for several years, is run by a cousin and two brothers whose family has a longtime poke shop on Oahu. The poke varieties include shoyu ahi and kimchi shrimp, and rotating specials like ahi limu, which is chopped ahi tuna mixed with seaweed. In addition to the poke, the restaurant also serves traditional Hawaiian kalua pig and chicken long rice soup at lunchtime. Order at the counter at this tiny joint with no seating and take it a block away for beachside dining." - Helen I. Hwang

Other island dishes to consider include their plate lunches featuring kahlua pig, lau lau and chicken longrice. Follow the shop’s Instagram page for specials and poke specials." - darlene-horn

"One of the favorite poke shops among Island-style enthusiasts is Ocean Beach’s It’s Raw, which is run by a duo from Oahu. No-frills ahi, salmon, octopus and more is served by the scoop or pound with corresponding scoops of rice and little else, the way its done on the islands." - Jackie Bryant
