The 38 Essential Honolulu Restaurants

"Located on the side of a residential apartment building, the poke spot from mother-and-daughter team Judy Sakuma and Kim Brug is the place to go for classics. The ‘ahi poke comes with sweet, ginger-spiked shoyu sauce or a mixture of crunchy limu (seaweed), coarse sea salt, and nutty, oily ‘inamona (kukui nuts). Everything is packed to-go, but the fatty chunks of ahi served over hot rice are best eaten immediately at the tables just outside the shop, alongside sashimi, taegu (candied codfish), and boiled peanuts." - Martha Cheng, Kathy YL Chan

The Best Poke in Honolulu: 11 Restaurants to Hit - Eater

"A second outpost in Kalama Valley, just past Hanauma Bay, has done little to lessen the crowds at the original Ono Seafood near Waikīkī. Long lines stretch out of both locations, but it’s worth the wait for the simple offerings from mother-daughter team Judy Sakuma and Kim Brug (and extended family). They highlight fatty, fresh chunks of ‘ahi and chewy tako (octopus), and preparations like the Hawaiian-style with crunchy limu, coarse sea salt, and nutty ‘inamona are mixed in small batches. Don’t wait to eat your poke bowl: Bliss is found in the pairing of cool fish and hot rice." - Martha Cheng

This was our first poke stop on Hawaii trip and we had selected this spot based on the high rating that this spot enjoys on Google. We had the Spicy Ahi and the Shoyu Ahi. The Spicy Ahi was unfortunately bland and lacked any spice. On the other hand, the Shoyu Ahi was flavorful and had a kick to it. The quantity was pretty good for the two of us. Seating is limited and is outdoors. Overall, not bad but maybe we should have skipped the Spicy Ahi.

One of the best poke spots on the island. The parking lot is tight and often busy, but it’s absolutely worth the effort. The fish was incredibly fresh, and the warm rice made each bite even better. We ordered two bowls:Shoyu Tako and Shoyu Ahi with furikake in one, Hawaiian Tako and Shoyu Ahi with furikake in the other, plus a side of Shoyu Salmon. Every bite was flavorful and authentic, high-quality poke that really stands out.

I had a poke bowl at the Kaka’ako Farmers’ Market and tried the #4 HAWN STYLE TAKO and #7 SPICY AHI with white rice. The flavors were perfectly balanced and absolutely delicious. Highly recommended!

Went at 10am. Parking wasn’t an issue but spots are extremely tight. There were two large picnic tables and half of one against the wall so didn’t have a problem getting a seat. We did share with another couple but large enough that it didn’t feel like eating together. Got a regular sized shoyu ahi and salmon with tempura flakes. Glad I got the topping bc it gave it a nice crunch. Fish was really fresh and had good flavor but got one piece that was stringy and unfortunately seemed like we had day old rice. Not sure if it was because we came early or if that’s just how it is. Ordering was easy, staff were nice, and didn’t feel rushed ordering. Definitely worth checking out!

Your local poke shop. Hard to find parking but poke is fresh and good there. Only two picnic table outside and a bar like table for seating.

The spicy ahi poke bowl has a nice, spicy flavor, which was one of the best poke bowl I had. They were relatively fast on making and checking us out since we had came right when it opened. They do offer dine-in seating, but it’s outside of store. As for the parking, it’s limited space to park if coming later in the day.

I visited twice, once 2019 and now 2025. I feel like the amount of fish they give you is way less now. The taste though is just as good as I remember. The quality of the fish is fresher than most things around waikiki.

We recently traveled to Hawaii. We had the absolute pleasure coming across the Ono Seafood truck at the Farmers Market. The Poke Tuna- hands down- was the best we ever had . First class experience, one of the highlights of our trip. This will be our first stop next trip. Lance and his crew are fantastic! Much love- Ryan and Allison C. - WV

A poke stop was a must on our trip and we went to Ono Seafood since I've never had it before. We luckily found a parking spot right in front of the store in the tiny parking lot. Otherwise, there is street parking. They are known for their fresh ahi tuna poke. They did have some salmon options, but it was sold out by the time I got there in the afternoon. I got the Shoyu Ahi and Miso Ahi. Normally I'm indifferent about ahi tuna, but this place changed my mind! The poke was so fresh and soft. My favorite was the Shoyu Ahi.

I tried Ono Seafood at the Kakaako Farmers Market, hoping to finally fall in love with poke while in Hawaii, but it didn't quite hit the mark for me. To be fair, I'm not the biggest fan of raw fish, so I came in with high hopes that this spot would change my mind. I ordered the Hawaiian Style Ahi and Spicy Ahi, as unfortunately, all the other flavors were sold out by the time I got there. The poke itself was decent; the Hawaiian Style had nice seasoning, and the Spicy Ahi had a good kick to it. However, I was expecting a melt-in-your-mouth texture that wasn't fully there. Some pieces were tender, but others were unexpectedly tough and chewy. I also wish there had been a bit more rice to balance out the generous portions of fish. Do be aware that the wait is long but the line goes by very fast due to the efficient and kind service! Overall, it wasn't bad, but it didn't leave me craving more. If you're a poke fan, you might enjoy it, but for me, it was just okay.

Super fresh poke in Kapahulu. The shop is on the smaller side with limited seating outside. There can be a line but it moves pretty quickly. The staff is very efficient. There is a parking lot but it can fill up! While it was a bit pricey for us, the poke bowl is really good and comes with a drink. We got the spicy ahi and shoyu ahi, and ended up liking the shoyu ahi a bit more because we felt it had more flavor. While we had to leave and find somewhere else to eat the poke, it was tasty and good to try after hearing so much about this place.

I love poke so much and this place was recommended by my friend. It did not disappoint. So delicious We ordered 4 poke bowls: ahi miso, salmon miso, spicy salmon Since the poke has so much sauce and flavors already, I'd probably forgo the furikake seasoning next time

Yelp
This place is popular with tourists so it is overpriced. $17 for a poke bowl. I like to add the tempura bits and furikake as I think it elevates the bowl. It's a good spot to try poke if you've never had it before. Just a heads up, they mostly focused on ahi and tako, no salmon (despite a paper sign that says they do have salmon..).

Been here several times and still our favorite poke place on the island. They have various styles and it's served with rice. The portions are filling. Price had gone up significantly from our last visit a few years back but still very reasonable. Place is small and parking is difficult. All seating which there isn't much is outside. Ordering took a bit long but food was ready right after ordering.

Quality of ahi was really fresh and the fish was extremely flavorful. Loved the shoyu flavor and the soy. The sauces were really great, and you didn't need any extra toppings either because the poke had little bits of furikake, green onion, regular onion. All seasoned well! One of the top poke spots on Oahu, and I definitely recommend it. Takeout window and picnic benches. Tons of parking. A bit pricy, but fish quality is worth it!

Came here because my uber driver from the airport said it was some of the best poke in Hawaii (she has lived here over 20 years). I'm certainly no poke expert, but it's hard to imagine it getting much better than this! The place is so small and simple looking, basically just a single queue for ordering inside, a vending machine for drinks and sides, and a few small tables outside to sit at. We got a side that was reminiscent of the Korean squid banchan thing, as well as seaweed salad. I also got the Hawaiian style Ahi Poke. The tuna was so soft and delicious, and was not overpowered by the sauce or onions like I've unfortunately found at some other places! This is truly what you'd want from poke - just delicious raw fish flavor with everything else complementing it. I also really recommend the squid side as it was so chewy and flavorful. Overall, Ono is amazing. Superb food for a low price! And people are willing to share tables so don't be shy if there isn't a full open table when you get your food.

The best poke ever!!!! I always order the spicy ahi and shoyu ahi with fried tempura and ginger w/ brown rice. You won't be disappointed! The staffs are nice. Place is small, you only order inside and eat outside. They have a small bar area and 2 picnic tables out front.

[ Food ] I was here 8 years ago and on this trip Ono Seafood was one of my favorite food places to eat again! You can't go wrong with the Spicy Ahi Poke, so creamy and fresh! [ Service ] Customer service was good. There is limited seating, only a table or two right outside. [ Parking ] Their lot is extremely small but there are people leaving pretty often (from our experience).

5/5 one word - delicious On our last day, we had to try this place, so made a pit stop on the way to the airport and I regretted getting such a small order. We ordered the spicy tuna and Shoyo salmon with furikake, and every bite was just YUMMM. The inside is small, but the ordering process was efficient and the food was prepared fast. There is no seating indoors, and only a few tables outdoors, so we just ate it in the car. And omg it was so good. I still think about this meal.

Love this place. Still such a solid poke spot. Came back during my trip in September after a few years and i was so happy the food is still solid here. It's a small shop with some seating outside but consider yourself lucky if there's a short line. It moves quick but you just home what you're looking for isn't going to sell out. Amazing poke. Only downfall is trying to make sure you can part in that area as they don't let you park in the neighbouring plaza.

I really hate to update my review but from the last few times that I went back to Ono's, it felt like the quality of their fish had gone down from how it was before. It makes me really sad bc this place used to be my most fav poke place on the island. It tasted like the fish was also frozen for a while, just doesn't feel fresh like how it used to be. Maybe it's just a bad batch? But it was more than once that this happened. Not only that but their prices skyrocketed so much! I paid $40ish for 1 lb of spicy ahi recently!!!!!!!! I know inflation is real but omg I couldn't get over it. My heart and wallet cried after paying that much for 1 lb and it sucks because the quality was also not the same. I could've justified the price if the quality was the same but it wasn't. I can go somewhere else on the island for cheaper and better poke imo. However, service stayed the same, they're still efficient and you're out of there in 5-10 mins even with a line out the door.

Heard this place made one of the best poke on the island so we had to check this place out. This place is limited with types of poke but we got half ahi and half tako. Both were really great and fresh.

This was my favoriteee poke spot on Oahu! Thought I do wish they had more fish options, I think they excel in the ones that they do have. We came on a weekday and had a pretty short wait (though they had sold out of a few options). Ordering was simple and your order comes with a free drink. I got the spicy ahi and hawaiian style ahi- both super tasty and flavorful. The ahi was melty and there was a pretty generous portion of each! My only complaint is that parking is super limited and there isn't any indoor seating, so expect to either eat at one of their few outside tables or take your order to the beach (which is what we did). Would come back!

a must visit when coming to Oahu, very fresh POKE! is relatively small shop, maybe 4 or so group tables and small parking lot. service is quick and simple, pick a bowl size, type of rice, and flavor style. combo, gives 2 flabors. they also have side dishes. the wasabi had a good kick! looking forward to coming back!!!

Ono Seafood is the place to go if one is looking for fresh, authentic and no frills poke. The portions were generous and the staff super helpful in helping us with our choices. The inside is small, but the ordering process was easy and the food came out fast. There is no seating indoors, and only a few tables outdoors which is fine. We tried to eat outdoors everywhere in Hawaii.

I rarely venture out to this side of town, but was meeting a friend who wanted to eat some poke. We decided on this place based on reviews and I'm so glad I got to try it! This place is TINY. Like a hole in the wall, which leads to very minimal parking. They have 2 reserved stalls in front of their store and I'm not even sure where you would park if there is no parking out of the 5 stalls I saw. I lucked out and got there right as someone was leaving, but if I had to drive around in circles to wait for parking I probably would have left. We came in the afternoon on a Saturday and got served immediately. Like I said earlier, the place is small and their menu is also small with some tables set up outside. But their food is delicious. I ordered the 2 choice with the Hawaiian and shoyu poke and added tempura flakes on it. The tempura flakes was such a good addition and the poke was super fresh!! The bowl comes with a free drink and I think the price is fair especially for fresh fish. If I am ever in the area again, I would not hesitate to come here. 10/10 recommend!

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! :)

Got some very large portion of poke bowl from here. The sashimis are very fresh and well prepared. There are many options for those who like raw seafood, and the toppings are great. The only downside was to be careful with picking your sauce, it can be a little too salty.

We found Ono Seafood through searching for some top poke places in Oahu. They're unfortunately closed on Sundays and Mondays, so we had to build this visit into our itinerary. Their poke ended up being one of my favorites as the tuna was fresh and flavorful. The tuna held its shape and wasn't mushy at all. I wish we could've visited again, but we were all poke'd out by the end of our trip. Parking was plentiful, but seating is veryyy limited as it's a small place. I wish I had tried their marinated crab, but I guess next time we're in Oahu.

I would consider this the best poke bowl I've had during my time in Oahu, Hawaii. We went as soon as it opened at 9 AM and were able to avoid the crowd/line. They offer one size poke bowl with 2/3 fish options and come with a free drink. They have their normal selection of fish everyday along with daily specials. There are also side dishes (ex seaweed salad) for additional purchase. The store itself is small with only room to stand to order but there is a little sitting area outside or huge parking lot to enjoy your poke. This place is also really close to Leonard's Bakery which people tend to walk to afterwards for dessert.

Ono Seafood is my favorite poke on the entire island! Sadly, I was only able to make it here once towards the end of my trip so I had to get a variety of favorites. The Hawaiian style ahi and Hawaiian or spicy tako are always great options but my personal favorite is the spicy ahi. I love how it's a mayo base but it isn't drenched in mayo. The fish is always super fresh and delicious. There's usually a line when I go and lots of people eating on the patio so I definitely plan on not finding a seat. Don't let the line deter you! It goes very quickly and they take your order right when you get to the counter. This is staying on my top Hawaiian eats list and I'll be telling everyone I know to stop here at least once at the beginning of your trip. I can guarantee you'll want to go back!

I find myself always revisiting Ono's when I'm in Hawaii! The fresh fish and their sauces are my favorite on the island. I always get the spicy salmon/ahi and spicy tako, their spicy sauce is so creamy with a hint of spice. The poke bowls come with a free drink of your choice which makes for the perfect meal. I wish they had more ample seating and a parking situation of some sort. Other than that, highly recommend supporting this small business!

With so many poke shops in the area, add this place to the top of your list. The place is a small shop with limited seating outside. With each bowl of poke, you get a free drink, which was a nice surprise. The portions are enough for one person. You do have to pay a little extra for toppings. My boyfriend enjoyed the spicy ahi a lot; it wasn't super spicy. I loved the miso ahi, but my boyfriend found it a little salty.

This unassuming place is one of the most well known and beloved poke places in Honolulu but looks very much like a hole in the wall. The small of the restaurant is small. It's about a 30 min walk from the main hotel area Kuhio St. Seating is a couple picnic tables outside. There are no fans. Very no frills. But the poke is soo good! It was so fresh and the portions are generous. I ordered a combo to share with a friend. The poke comes with a drink of your choice (minus coconut water). I think the combo regular sized poke bowl was $17 before tax and tip. It's a good value. We ate all the fish but couldn't bring ourselves to finish all the rice. By about 2pm on Saturday there were a couple options that were already sold out. They had a few more options listed on a paper beside the ordering station that weren't in their large menu.

I finally had the chance to try Ono Seafood after hearing so many great things about them! I visited around 10 AM on a weekday, and there was no line at all. The ordering process was quick, and I waited less than five minutes to receive my poke. I ordered the #7 Spicy Ahi, but I was disappointed to learn that they had run out of salmon as we wanted to try that as well. I took my poke to the beach and enjoyed it on the sand. It was absolutely delicious! The chunks of ahi were big, and the sauce was creamy. Plus, you get a free drink with each poke order! I chose the Hawaiian Sun Strawberry Orange, which was refreshing and quickly became one of my favorite flavors from the Hawaiian Sun lineup.

Wow, wow, wow. Sorry, poke, I wasn't really familiar with your game. Disclaimer: I've never had poke before my visit to Honolulu, but I'm sure glad I saved my first time for Ono. And no, this is not the same Ono Hawaiian food chain you find back in Los Angeles or anywhere else for that matter. When you walk in, you can't help but admire all the accolades and newspaper/journal articles highlighting just how great of a spot this is. While the space itself may be small, the service is quick and efficient. The best way I can describe the poke for first timers like my former self is that it's like sushi, in my case spicy tuna, in a bowl. It was so so good, with the perfect amount of flavoring and seasoning . I added maybe three out of the four extra toppings like ginger, eel sauce and furikake (crushed up seaweed). I even went to Foodland, a grocery store but also another local spot for poke, thinking I was going to have the same experience as Ono's but I was sorely mistaken. Whether it's your first time trying poke or not, this place is must-try for anyone living or visiting in Honolulu.

This place is Ono. I get the bowl and combo so 2 choices and it comes with a drink. I love their ahi pokes and I stick to that. Came here years ago and it's still good to me. So good I went twice in a short trip.

Best tuna poke I had in Waikiki. Detailed breakdown below: **Service, 4/5** Not super warm, but the staff runs a tight and efficient operation. You'll be in and out, especially if you can't secure seating at one of the few tables out front. **Price & portion, 5/5** The box is deceivingly small -- you'll definitely be full afterwards! **Taste of the food, 5/5** The texture of the tuna here is fantastic -- almost chewy and meatier than other fish that sometimes feels like it's been frozen a bit too long. The marinades are also great and the big pieces of fish make each bite so satisfying! Definitely a must-try if you're in the area.

Had a chance to try Ono Seafood today and enjoyed the experience a lot. This is a small shop that mainly specializes in poke - and they have any different types. I liked that they let you sample the different types of poke which helped me choose the right bowl. The service here was also pretty fast and if you get a poke bowl they also give you a free drink which is nice! For my order I got: * Shoyu and spicy combo poke bowl - my favorite was the shoyu as this was so flavorful but i also liked the spicy one as it was nice and creamy *small miso poke - I really like the unique flavor here - definitely worth trying Overall I enjoyed all the fish which was fresh and yummy - my main qualm here is that for the price you pay for they barely give you any fish. I would not come back mainly bc the price to fish ratio is a rip off. There are a lot of other spots out there where you can get much more for what you pay for including fresh fish!

Ultimately, Ono's offers quality poké that is tasty. I got a poké bowl with shoyu and Hawaiian style ahi which tasted good. I was a bit disappointed though since the portion size was quite small for $17.50. It comes with a free drink, but personally I'd rather it didn't and be offered at a lower price. Also, they only offer ahi and tako so if you want salmon you're out of luck. While the poké is good, it didn't taste that different from Foodland's which isn't necessarily a negative against Ono's; rather, it just shows how good Foodland's is for much cheaper. Bottom line: Ono's isn't bad at all, but there are better options in my opinion.

I recently stumbled upon this local poke spot in Honolulu and I'm really glad I did! It's a cash-only, take-out-only joint, which gives it a bit of a no-frills, authentic vibe. Their Spicy Ahi and Octopus poke bowls are absolute must-tries. Also tried their tuna which is super fresh and melts in your mouth, while the octopus has the perfect texture--not too chewy, just right. They really nail the seasoning too, with a great balance of flavors that keeps you coming back for more. Even though it's just a take-out spot, the quality of the food is top-notch. It's the kind of place where you grab your food and maybe head to a park or back home to enjoy. Just a heads up, remember to bring cash since they don't accept cards. If you're into poke or just looking for a tasty, fresh meal on the go, this spot is definitely worth checking out. I'll definitely be coming back for those Spicy Ahi and Octopus bowls

Ono seafood is always going to have a place in my heart! I love their seafood. My go to combination is the spicy ahi + miso ahi! The bowls also come with a drink of your choice from the refrigerator. It could get busy/crowded especially during peak holiday season/weekends. The parking isn't the greatest as it is a really small parking lot with only a couple designated parking spots for Ono Seafood specifically. There is also limited seating (two tables and a side bench table). The staff is always super friendly and nice as well!

We were so excited to come back to Ono after years but were sadly disappointed. First off, prices have increased dramatically over the years. Their ahi is now $40/lb, which is wild. We ordered a poke bowl with 2 flavors, wasabi ahi and Hawaiian style ahi. We also got a quarter lb of shoyu ahi, and because they had a sign stating they had fresh salmon that day, we also got a quarter lb of miso salmon. Everything was by far too salty. The miso salmon was actually inedible because of the salt - we had to dilute it by pouring water into our poke to make it palatable. For our poke bowl, the rice was cold and hard. They also use a slightly longer grain than traditional short grain rice. Overall, we left disappointed and probably won't come back.

There is not a single time where we don't come to ono's when we're in Oahu! Something about coming off the plane and this being the first meal makes a perfect start to vacation! We got a 1/2 lb shoyu salmon and 1/2lb wasabi ahi + rice on the side. Perfect amount for 2 people! The poke NEVER disappoints! We'll see you next time

Looking for solid poke in Honolulu - look no further! Ordered their combo with spicy mayo ahi and shoyo. The tuna was fresh and tasty, with a plenty portion for one individual. The service was great, ambiance is basic with picnic tables in the front. Overall highly recommend!

I would say this is my second favorite poke of my whole trip. My first maguro brothers. Parking here is limited but we got lucky with a spot. The staff were friendly and there was a good variety of food. Prices were a bit more expensive than other places but with each poke bowl you get a free canned drink (soda or juice). The food was so fresh and the fish just melted in your mouth. I got the spicy ahi tuna and I loved that the spicy mayo actually was spicy, unlike what is served back home. They have a couple of picnic tables outside for you to enjoy your meal. Be careful, all the birds watching you might attempt to come in for a steal

ONO!!! I love love love their Hawaiian-style ahi and Spicy Tako!!!!! My mouth is watery typing this! It's really hard to find a good place with yummy tako for some reason but Ono never disappoints. We took 6 lbs of assorted ahi, Fresh Salmon, and Tako home to the bay Because we wanted this bliss to last a little longer hahaha! My mom loved the spicy tako which is surprising Because it has a good kick and she doesn't do well with spicy but I'm glad she loved it, for my dad and sister they loved the Hawaiian style ahi and the spicy tako as well! the place is small and parking is tough but I promise it's all worth it. Sometimes you'll catch a line out the door, don't worry! it moves quickly and like I said, TRUST ME it is worth the extra mile. Cant wait to be back and get more spicy tako!

This review is long overdue, but well deserved! I've only visited Oahu three times and EACH time I've made an effort to go to Ono Seafood. I just stopped by yesterday and it was just as good as I remembered. I know this is a big statement, but Ono Seafood is seriously the BEST poke I've ever tried in my life! I was staying on the opposite side of Waikiki this time and did not have a rental car. I ran close to 3 miles to reward myself with this lovely poke. If I'm voluntarily running that much, you know the food is GOOOOD. I always order a poke bowl with white rice, miso ahi, and spicy ahi. You can also grab any drink to pair with your food! I'm not even someone who normally eats poke, but just something about the poke in Hawaii. Next level! The fish just melts in your mouth, the flavors are on point, and the service is quick. You can count on me Ono -- I will be back every single time I visit Oahu. Highly recommend!

We wanted to try this poke location during our trip since it was ranked so well by a bunch of others! We tried ono along with 4 other poke places on our trip. Compared to the others we thought the poke wasn't as good or at least wasn't the best. The poke was not as soft as the other places and had more bite, which I didn't really like. Maybe it was just an off day, I don't know. The service was fine! Someone told me that you get a free drink with a poke order but we got charged so I'm not sure if that's still a thing. For our poke it was $40 for two half pounds of the ahi, which was more expensive than other places we had as well. There's seating outside (two picnic like tables). We also went a little after opening and there was no line!

We stopped by Ono Seafood in Hawaii, and the poke was incredible. It was super fresh and buttery, with the marinade really infusing the fish with tons of flavor. It's a popular spot, so there were a lot of people, but we were lucky enough to snag some outdoor seating. Definitely a great place for poke, and I'll be coming back for more next time!

The freshest poke I've ever had on the island!' The ahi was super fresh and buttery!!! The sauces are not super overbearing or underwhelming either! It was just perfect! The place offers seaweed salad, wasabi, and ginger on the side if asked (and is extra cost). service is super friendly and quick. You also get a free drink with the poke as well, super great deal. The place only has limited seating so I'd suggest taking it to go and eating somewhere else if there is no additional seating. I can't wait to come back here every time I visit Oahu (:

Such fresh fish!! I'll definitely be coming back next time I come visit! Service is super quick and friendly as well. They only have about 3 tables for seating outside so you might want to think about eating in your car if it's super busy, otherwise amazing place!

The quality of the food has declined, and the spicy ahi tacos are marinated excessively, while the wasabi ahi tacos are excessively spicy. The service is subpar due to limited parking and the absence of a catering establishment. The cashier exhibited rudeness and lack of friendliness. The parking lot is constructed of asphalt but is characterized by numerous bumps and holes, making parking challenging. Additionally, the dining area is characterized by high temperatures and a cramped layout.
