Pine Isle

It’s definitely worth the drive, for someone who lives on the other side of town. Immediately when we first entered , we were greeted & the owner took the time to explain the menu to us. It made us feel so welcome! ☺️ As to what we ordered, we got the deep fried spam musubi, garlic fries, garlic shrimp & the regular poke bowl ( which comes w/ 2 choices of poke) I picked the creamy salmon & shoyu salmon on a bed of salad. The poke is made fresh daily! Everything was delicious! My favorite was the poke and the garlic shrimp which has a different flavor and also cooked differently than most places I’ve tried.. even though we ordered fried stuff, it didn’t taste heavy , which I like 👍🏻. It’s a small spot but pack with a lot of flavor! When we were finish , the owner asked how everything was, he was so kind and uplifting, I would go back because of that. He was just so accommodating. If you’re in the mood to get away for a little bit and enjoy good food, you won’t be disappointed. 🤗

To say that their food is amazing is such a heinous understatement. A bite of the poke here transports you to Hawaii. Every single dish here tastes like it was made with love. Pure bliss. It’s not even a competition for best poke in Dallas because these guys are playing a completely different game, it’s insane.

This place is hands down the best Hawaiian poke restaurant in Dallas— no competition. I’ve been struggling to find a good poke spot to replace Don Don Poke in Plano, and nothing ever came close… until now. It’s a 45-minute drive, but my sister hyped it up so much that I finally agreed to go. She actually drove there twice last weekend, but it was sold out just an hour after opening on Saturday. One of the staff members told her it’s best to order online since their inventory updates in real time. We placed our order online, and it went through! Just to be safe, we also called the store to double-check before heading out. It was a long drive, but 100000% worth it. I haven’t been to Hawaii, but I can tell their poke is as authentic as it gets. At first, I was a little thrown off by the price, since most poke spots I go to are around $14. But once I saw the portions, it all made sense. They did not skimp on the fish, AT ALL. I actually had more fish than rice by the end, which never happens! The shoyu ahi tuna, shoyu salmon, and creamy salmon were all incredibly fresh and delicious. If you like spicy, definitely go for the creamy version. We also tried the kalbi and fried spam musubi; both were made fresh to order with generous portions. The space is small since it’s designed for takeout, with just two tables inside and one outside. Luckily, nobody was dining in on this Wednesday night, so we grabbed a table and dug in right away. The place was buzzing with people coming in and out to pick up their orders. I overheard a worker say they only make what they can based on the day’s fish delivery, which explains the exceptional freshness. I truly hope business keeps booming so they can open more locations quickly, especially in Plano. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for bringing amazing poke to DFW area. Don’t even bother trying other poke places to compare, Pine Isle is in a league of its own.

Ordered the BBQ chicken and large poke bowl (shoyu salmon, shoyu ahi and, spicy creamy ahi) Food was super delicious and fresh! Chicken was so tender and cooked right to order. Wasn’t over marinated like some of the Hawaiian places I’ve been to around dfw. They said that online ordering will be up soon so you can order in advance. If you order when you get there, expect to wait 10-15 minutes since they cook upon. There’s seating for 2 inside - 2 tables. Will def be back!!!

Amazing authentic poke! I had shoyu tuna & salmon with half rice / half salad base. Delicious and generous portions! Also had an easy online ordering experience with my order being ready for pickup at the exact right time. Will be back!

From the moment I walked into this place, I was warmly welcomed—and the atmosphere instantly brought back memories of my trip to Hawaii. We ordered the chicken katsu with sauce on the side, double mac, and a side of kimchi fries. Everything was delicious! I was genuinely impressed that the chicken was so tender I could cut it effortlessly with a plastic butter knife. The rice was cooked perfectly, and the mac salad had just the right balance of flavors. The kimchi fries were a new choice for us, and they had just the right kick of spice and sauce. We’ll definitely be back!

It was pretty good! The quality is most definitely there and a lot better than other poke places. I was a big fan of the creamy salmon and the shoyu ahi. Big chunks of fish and well seasoned. I also got normal spam musubi which was average I wish the spam was a bit more marinated. However, the fried spam musubi was delicious. It added a nice crunchy texture it all meshed well. Overall I would come back, fresh and delicious poke.

Today was my first time here--and as a local girl from Oʻahu, I have to say, it was ono! My friend ordered the mochiko chicken, and I had the laulau plate with shoyu ahi... every bite was delicious. The customer service was phenomenal--friendly, welcoming, and super accommodating. Mahalo to the staff for making us feel right at home. I'll definitely be back! Went back 3 days later to try the LG Poke bowl... Tako Gojujang is bomb!

A small Hawaiian style poke joint with big island vibes in Dallas! The shop is small, they have two small tables inside and a small table outside, definitely made for more of a take out style poke joint. Poke: for bowls you can get salad, rice, or 1/2. The regular comes with two scoops of poke and the large comes with three scoops. The fish were all really nicely portioned and extremely flavorful. I liked that the cuts of salmon were thick and I even saw a few pieces of fatty looking belly in mine. Mac Salad: very creamy in a good kind of way! Spam musubi: solid choice, if you like fried things definitely get the fried spam musubi, the crunch is next level! Overall I really enjoyed my stop at Pine Isle, if I'm ever in this area of Dallas definitely worth the stop for their poke! They do have some plate options on their menu that looked really good, will have to try next visit!

Pine Isle is probably one of the best poke places I've had in DFW in quite awhile. The fish are in nice big chunks and the sauces flavorful; both the shoyu and the creamy (mayo) sauce. I wouldn't wait too long to get the poke since they tend to sell out towards the end of the day. Even their Miso Salmon is good. I highly suggest ordering online beforehand or else you'll end up waiting in line for 10-15mins at the restaurant.

I was so excited to come hear since hearing about it! I was told the lines were long and food sold out quick when it first opened. I will say this restaurant is a lot smaller than I expected, there's only 2 small tables inside and 1 table outside, and most of the space is taken up by the kitchen. I shared the Kalua pork + cabbage plate + 1/2 pound of shoyu salmon with another person and it satisfied us. The food came out really quickly too! We both really enjoyed the food itself, the small side salad and mac salad were good additions to the meat and rice, and at the end we ended up just combining the poke with the leftover rice. There aren't too many places like this in Dallas that serve the poke like this, so it's good to see! I would come back :)

Had to drive down to try the Loco Moco as not many places in Dallas who serve. Small to go place with one 2 top outside and two, two tops inside. They have an area outside with picnic tables and as folks came in and left as no seating and they would not open outside. We had party of 3 and was able to share one of the 2 little tables. Shared an order of loco mock - 2 large meatloaf type patties on great rice and a very oniony gravy with 2 eggs over easy. Come with a little green salad and Macaroni salad. I do not want to give negative feedback as food was fresh cooked to order and good. But I am a loco Moco snob. Rice perfect, gravy over powering onion flavor no mushrooms. Burger patties very meatloaf texture and onion flavor. Macaroni salad macaroni was over cooked. Fried Musubi was good.

FOOD We've been on the search for authentic Hawaiian poke since traveling to Oahu and I am thankful that DFW has a place that fulfills our cravings! Hands down, as authentic as you can get in the DFW area. The spicy ahi tuna has great texture and the shoyu salmon melts in your mouth and is very buttery. We also tried the Mochiko chicken which is very flavorful. The mac salad is also very refreshing, so I had to get a double portion. The Loco moco is also quite tasty. SERVICE The service here was amazing and everybody is so kind. They were frequently checking in to see how our meal which I appreciated very much ENVIRONMENT The store is a bit on the smaller side with 2 tables indoors and 1 table outdoors.

the best poke in dfw. the fish is just so yummy and fresh!! if it was closer and cheaper i would go all the time. price is a little bit on the higher end but its expected for someplace near downtown dallas + rising food cost. but the quality is worth the price. seating is v limited and also bc its been pretty popular their poke runs out pretty quick. we ordered online at 11:00 for 11:45 and we got it but when i checked again at 1pm they had already ran out so make sure u get it ahead of time!

I was craving Hawaiian food and since being in Dallas for a year now, I finally decided to try Pine Isle. Though a small restaurant, their food are delicious and fresh!! We had the poke salad and I wished I got the larger size! The staff was very nice and told us they are working on a patio space soon. Would love to come back when it's ready!

Pine Isle stay bussin'--broke da mouth, fo' real! Everything tasted just like home, from the crispy sushi rolls to the smoky grilled salmon and ono poke bowl. You can tell they put plenty aloha in da food. Portions solid, flavors on point, and da vibe? Real comforting. Mahalo for bringing that island taste to town. Definitely coming back!

Omg everything here was so good!! I have been dying to find a good spot that has fresh and decent poke, and this place definitely was the spot! Their loco moco was really good too, I enjoyed it a lot. Something I got and didn't think would like so much was the mochiko chicken, that was a 10/10! The workers were so nice and friendly I felt so welcomed. The only thing about the spot is that it is small, and theres only two tables so it's more of a take out spot, but thankfully they have an order online! I will definitely be back, it was a great experience

My family and I came here for Hawaiian food. It was recommended by an acquaintance. Our order taker was pleasant. The service was fairly quick. The place had an ambiance of a poke shop in Oahu. The food tasted pretty good. It was busy though at lunch time and they ran out of poke. Not much seating, but overall we'd come back again.

Had the bbq chicken plate, comes with macaroni salad and regular salad with dressing and rice. This was so bomb! Chicken had tons of flavor from the grill and marinate. The fried spam musubi was also delicious! Never had anything like it before. Crispy and savory! perfect amount of food! I'm glad they're close by, I wanna try their poke next

Food was solid! Quick service, with lots of pick up orders, as there is minimal seating at the restaurant itself. We grabbed the loco moco, chicken katsu, 3 scoop poke, garlic shrimp, & a fried spam. Everything tasted fresh! Would absolutely roll through again - check this place out! Staff is friendly, and it feels like you're pulling up to your cousin's house for what you know is about to be good time & good eats.

What a great find! Been craving some shoyu tuna! When we got here at 2pm they were already running out and shoyu ahi wasn't available. Lucky they were able to cut some and I genuine appreciated them for it! We drove from Plano just to try this place and I must admit, it's delicious & very filling!! Good portions and tasty rice! Can't wait to come back!

Literally the best authentic Hawaiian food in Dallas! Their poke is SO SO good.... I almost want to gatekeep because they were sold out of some of the pokes when we came here but credit is due where it's due. Highly recommend this place for hot summer days for delicious Hawaiian food!

I don't spend time on yelp giving positive reviews, but the Mochiko Chicken has me acting different today - it's fire! These people don't mess around in the kitchen, & the quality of food is top tier. Definitely worth the hype!

best hawaiian food in Dallas PROPER area, not even close. great pokè cuts, marinade is well done and flavorful, appropriate proportions as some pokè joints tend to skimp out on the fish

This is the best poke Dallas has to offer. I ordered take out before I got there and was able to pick it up within 10 minutes.. by the time I got home it was a little warm but still was the best I've had. I used to live in Hawaii and miss spicy ahi so much so I'm glad I found this place. Definitely will be a regular here

As Polynesian this is honestly some of the better Hawaiian plates in the DFW area. Food is BOMB DOT COM. Garlic shrimp is a must- rivals Giovanni's in the North Shore of Oahu! Service was friendly. The Resturant is small but when the food is good, that doesn't matter! Go try!

Finally went to try the poke bowl from Pine Isle since everyone was hyping up about it. Had to try it out myself to see if it was just good marketing on social media or the food is actually good. The flavor of the creamy salmon and soy salmon is good. The proportion of the seaweed salad, crab, etc. is good too. But the most important factor of a poke bowl which is the QUALITY of fish is 2/5. I had to spit out 5 pieces of salmon because they were too chewy to the point I just could not swallow. Because you can easily mask the freshness of raw fish with bunch of sauce, I worry that the quality is not too good. Also, the "extra" seaweed salad I paid $.50 for was just so small. I will be going back to try other things from the menu and will adjust the rating accordingly. But so far, not impressed--just seems the hype is from being a new restaurant & social media marketing.

I ordered food here for lunch to pickup and they finished my order exactly once i got there! This place was so good. I got the Loco Moco plate which had such a juicy patty and everything about this was flavorful. The garlic shrimp plate was really good as well. I would get both of these again. I also ordered the kimchi fries which were ok! I think i wish it was a bit crispier even with the kimchi on top. The portions were huge! They only do takeout and have very little seating. I would come back here for sure!

been looking for a hawaiian spot in dallas and i think i found it really enjoyed the bbq plate. chicken was juicy, tender, and char was perfect. mac salad and the greens balance the meal well poke nachos were pretty unique and also enjoyable. salmon and tuna were super fresh i will definitely be back

Everything was absolutely delicious! The Mochiko Chicken was hands-down my favorite--crispy, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. You can really tell this is a local spot that puts heart into every dish. The service was friendly and felt genuinely warm and authentic. So excited to have a new Hawaiian gem in Dallas--can't wait to come back!

Stopped by this weekend. Called ahead to ask about a food sensitivity and was read the recipe and confirmed no sesame seeds were premixed in the poke. Placed my order online and was called that they were wrong the first time and it is premixed just not on the recipe card. So be wary of allergies. I had to sub my poke meal out for the chicken katsu which was okay. Not much gravy and the chicken was a bit soggy. Mac salad was good and salad was good. My friend enjoyed her poke bowl.

I tried the newest Hawaiian establishment in Dallas that has been the buzz lately. They have many traditional Hawaiian plates such as loco moco, pork lau lau, and kalua pork, but I came here for their poke. They have 6 flavors: shoyu ahi, shoyu salmon, creamy spicy tuna, creamy spicy salmon, wasabi tako, and gochujang tako. They are a takeout based store so they recommend ordering ahead through online orders. They only have 2 small tables inside and 1 outside. They have been selling out lately too so try to order as early as possible. My friend and I got a regular poke bowl with shoyu salmon and shoyu ahi. Each bowl have rice, salad, or a mix of both as its base. It is topped with krab salad, seaweed salad, edamame, ginger, and wasabi. The portion is pretty generous but they lack in customizations and have limited topping and sauce options for the bowl. The rice was ok, a lot of it was stuck together. The shoyu flavor was pretty muted so the salmon and ahi didn't really taste like anything. The krab salad however was fireeee. So overall poke bowl was just ok for us. You can also order poke by the pound like how they do in Hawaii. The poke nachos though, my mind was blown by the flavors of it. You get a ton of crispy wonton chips topped with two scoops of poke. We got the creamy spicy ahi and creamy spicy salmon this time and omg they both were sooo soooo much better than the shoyu poke. They were creamy, had a kick to them, just so much more flavor. The nachos are also topped with krab salad, madago, edamame, creamy spicy, wasabi aioli, and a sweet soy glaze. Talk about a flavor bomb. The crispy wonton chips provide a much needed crunch and serves as a perfect vessel for everything. The edamame provided some crunch as well, and the wasabi aioli and creamy spicy sauce definitely elevated everything. It had the same krab that I loved from the poke bowl and the poke flavor was much better. I would for sure come back just to order these nachos

Ohh man Pine Isles has some ono grindz, the gentleman at the counter Kevin was super nice and friendly, I went straight for the poke bowl and man it was delicious!! There was no fishy smell to it, the texture was firm not mushy at all! Definitely will be coming back

Pine Isle, more like Pine Isle be coming back! Wow everything was delicious. Never been to Hawaii, but now I can save on the $600 plane ticket and just take a $20 gas trip to this joint. I be leaving satisfied and feeling like ohana. Check them out and hit them with a mahalo cuz that's how good it is.

Awesome little Hawaiian takeout spot! The poke is super fresh with great flavor, and the portions are solid. Loco moco is on point! Hearty, comforting, and that gravy hits just right. The garlic shrimp is packed with flavor (and garlic!) and totally reminds me of the North Shore trucks. And the fried musubi? So good crispy outside, warm and savory inside. Everything tastes homemade in the best way. Quick service, friendly vibes, make it a spot worth returning to again and again.

I finally got my fix of Hawaiian food, and wow -- it totally hit the spot! Everything was super tasty, full of flavor, and so fresh. I've been craving it for a while, and it was so worth the wait!

Came here on a Tuesday evening around 8 pm. There are a couple small tables but this feels like mainly a takeaway place. They had a few servings of fish left which is a good sign, means they make their fish fresh and only have a certain amount every day. I had a large poke salad with spicy salmon and shoyu ahi. It was sooo good. I wasn't that hungry to start so I thought I'd have leftovers but I ended up finishing the whole thing! My friend got the mochiko chicken which was also fantastic (8/10). The staff were very friendly and service was quick. Probably about 5-10 mins for my main and 15 mins for the garlic kimchi fries (7/10). Would definitely come back.

The food took me back to the backyard bbq's my dad used to have in San Diego. From the short rib to the macaroni salad was on point. teriyaki steak was cooked better than most steakhouses I've been to in Dallas. Service was quick and friendly. Oh their playlist was jammin too. Highly recommend this Hawaiian restaurant above all in the metroplex.

We tried out this place a month ago. We really loved the ahi nachos! All the other things were delicious too!

Wow! Nothing like pine isle in the dfw area. I am not exaggerating when I tell you EVERYTHING is packed w/ FLAVORRR! There's a dish for the whole entire family my 3 year old loves the kalbi dish my 4 year old c really enjoyed the kids salmon my 14 yo couldn't stop raving about the fried masubi & poke nachos. We also had the fries & salmon poke salad we were not disappointed at all the matcha bubbies mochi was the cherry on top love this place!

I had a wonderful experience with the customer service, which made my visit enjoyable. The poke was very tasty as well! I look forward to returning and trying more of their dishes. I highly recommend placing a phone order or visiting when they first open.

Our 'Ohana went to this spot yesterday, my husband and I recently moved from Hawaii (born & raised) to be closer to our children...sooo ONO and hit the Hawaii flavor - - spot on, with a super nice added flair of delicious sauces (the flavor 10/10) . The owner is a super nice guy too, if you haven't tried Pine Isle, Brah you are missing out..10/10++...mahalo nui for your hard work Pine Isle crew!!

super tasty poke nachos! One of the best Hawaiian spots in dfw! Would come back! Great friendly service!!

Best poke in DFW!! Portion size is pretty good. I recommend the poke nachos, even tho I usually don't like nachos or poke.

This place is fantastic, macaroni salad, kimchi fries, Kalbi, Loco Moco were all fantastic. I'm spoiled by Chef sheldon Simeon's mochiko chicken so that was my only ding but if they can follow his lead and refine their recipe (and put sauces the side for delivery so the moshiko chicken doesn't get soggy and lose its crisp), this place will be almost perfect

Read all the positive reviews and decided to try it out. Little hidden gem that packs huge flavor! Got the poke bowl and loco moco , both reasonably priced for the portion. This is as close to Hawaii as I can get to without hopping on a plane. Thank you!

This is the move. This is the closest you will get to poke. Not the mainland poke that has all of these funny fixin's. I'm ecstatic that Pine Isle opened here in Dallas--all of these other proclaimed Hawaiian spots are dissatisfying and disappointing. IYKYK. While it's not the beloved Foodland or Tanioka's Pokeh, it's still pretty ono. I can't wait to come back to try all the majah grindz. The food has the aloha spirit. Cheehoooo!

The food was fantastic - it's like Hawaiian Bros but better. The service was great and the owners even came and chatted for a bit and thanked us for coming. A clear family owned passion project. I wish there were more places like this!

best Hawaiian food authentic broke da mouth.. lsu lay poki ahi KolbI wow!!!!! Dallas you're fortunate to have this island gem with authentic Hawaiian food!!

I've been looking for a good Hawaiian BBQ place nearby and when they opened I had to try it. Got the poke nachos and bbq chicken and both were spot on. Tuna and salmon were fresh and the chicken was delicious. Will definitely be back soon. Guys working we're awesome as well!

Saw a review on TikTok about this place, and it was absolutely true- there is NO competition between Pine Isle and other poke places in Dallas. There were two small tables inside so my group decided to order to go and eat in the car. I had the two scoop bowl with the shoyu ahi and the creamy spicy salmon, and it was DELICIOUSSS. So fresh and flavorful, even the crab salad, seaweed salad, and white rice were seasoned perfectly. A lot of SoCal type of poke places have a variety of toppings to add on to your bowl, but the simplicity of the bowl at Pine Isle just highlighted the amazing quality of the ingredients. I would not have changed a thing about my meal, it was perfect. My partner got the teriyaki steak which comes with mac salad, a green salad, and rice, and the steak was so tender and tasty, we loved the bits of caramelized onion too. Lastly, there was nothing to complain about the service either, the person at the register was friendly and helpful, and with an open view of the kitchen you could see how much love the staff was putting into our food. WILL be back!

Ordered two poke bowls to go, the rice was ultra hot and it made the fish part cooked/ warm by the time we got home. The rice and seaweed salad were both dry. Toppings were very limited. Overall was wildly disappointed in the poke given the positive reviews. I would be willing to try ordering just the fish and putting the rest of my bowl together on my own potentially. Also may give their non-fish dishes a try...Otherwise maybe only visit if you're eating in. I WANT to like it. Service was quick. Location was VERY small and cramped.

Omg the food the service and even the ambiance was Soooooo amazing!!, y'all should go and check them out y'all

The Miso Salmon is sooo good! High quality! Looking forward to trying the BBQ Chicken next.
