YUMM! We stopped by to grab a regular poke bowl ($17) for lunch. Each bowl comes with a drink in the fridge (canned juice, water, or soda). We opted to split the bowl between the two of us because of the long list of food items I wanted to try at various establishments. Man, maybe we should have gotten our own bowl because it was SO DELICIOUS and I can't stop thinking about it even days later.
We got the spicy ahi(#7) and the shoyu ahi (#1) for our choice of poke. The bowl says it's priced by the market price so it does not exactly say it's $17 just as a FYI. You can choose either white rice or brown and choose up to 2 flavor styles if you make it a combo. Both the spicy ahi and shoyu ahi were so fresh. I enjoyed how the shoyu ahi felt like it just melted in your mouth. It was mixed well with the onions, lime, kuikui, chili pepper and sesame oil. This is definitely a go to choice if you are looking for something that isn't too heavy in terms of flavor profile. You can really enjoy the fish in this one. The spicy ahi definitely had that hint of spice. It was very creamy but having rice helped a lot. I personally felt like it was a little too heavy, but my boyfriend LOVED it. We wanted to order pickled ginger as a side but they were out that day :/.
In terms of size, if you were to compare it to other places, you may say their bowl is a bit smaller than other places. Though pricer, this bowl was definitely the most fresh, most seasoned, and most delicious I've had during this visit to Oahu. They have very limited seating and parking fyi, but people eat pretty fast and we didn't have any issues getting a seat. If anything, you can always take it to the beach or park anyways since they are packed in takeout containers. The service was quick and friendly too. So, come through and support this small local business! You won't regret it! :)
