Always fresh and delicious food. In addition to the poke, I love the nachos with pulled pork. The daily poke special is at an affordable price.

I love all Hawaiian food, but I especially love spam musubi. I'm a simple man so a simple spam musubi will satisfy me but Abunai doesn't make a simple spam musubi, they make a spam katsu musubi. It's fried and crunchy and furikake and so darn delicious. You can literally do anything after eating a spam katsu musubi. Thank you, Abunai, for giving me the power to do anything.

Fantastic place for Hawaiian food, not only poké, which I love, but also kahlua pork, taro, and a few other Hawaiian specialties. Great value, friendly service, delicious food. I’d be thrilled with a bit more non-poké variety, but I suppose that’s the main thing for most people.

I ordered via Uber eats. The presentations of all the dishes were amazing. Their poke was filled and tasted great. I also got to spam musubi which was wrapped nicely. And I got a spicy salmon roll, it was very spicy like no joke, but it comes with wasabi and ginger as well. Very good presentation overall will order again.

Great casual and fast place for poke and Hawaiian food. Amazing poke and the mac salad is just like I remember from Kaui'i.

Overall, no major complaints for a standard poke establishment. Fish was pretty fresh and standard, but nothing to write home about. Only thing I wanted was bigger protein size since I paid extra for extra proteins but still got a pretty skimp amount of fish. Other than that, 3.5 stars for a decent poke place that I got from food delivery app.

I ordered a Poke Bowl from here today and it was ok. With tip it came to $40 which is a lot to spend for a Poke Bowl and Coconut Water. The sauces I picked were good and the bowl was ok. It definitely wasn't the best I have ever had but it was ok. The Fried Egg on top wasn't what I was expecting when I added Egg (was thinking more like Tamago). They don't appear to have as many veggies as other places but they have a lot of toppings.

I got a bowl with three proteins: salmon, tuna, and chicken. I feel like even with those three it wasn’t enough food/ protein. Getting the chicken was also a mistake very dry and brittle. I did like all of the topping choices though especially the dry ones. The aioli is also a great sauce.

Great spot to pick up a quick lunch. Arrived on Wednesday at lunchtime and the line went out the door. I ordered the Wednesday poke bowl special which was the spicy salmon, $12 what a good deal. I also ordered spam musubi to try. Everything was fresh and the sauce was spicy which I loved. Portion size was really good, I have white rice in my bowl and couldn't finish it. I believe you can also get the bowl with greens or half rice and half greens. Enjoyed it and definitely on my list for lunch next time I'm in the area.
