13 Best Seafood Restaurants in Aiea

“A Must-Visit Poke Spot

I’d been looking forward to visiting this place for three days, and it was worth the wait. If you're exploring this part of the island, this spot is a must-visit. Just remember to plan your day around it, as they're only open from 11 am to 4 pm. You might want to skip breakfast so you can really enjoy your meal!

Easy to Find, Easy to Park

The restaurant is about a 16-minute drive from downtown Honolulu. While it's a bit tucked away, finding a parking spot is a breeze—they have a large parking lot, which is a big plus. The moment you walk in, you'll notice how incredibly clean it is. This instantly gives you peace of mind, especially since you’ll be enjoying fresh, raw ingredients.

Friendly and Helpful Service

The staff was great, and the cashier was very kind and patient with my questions. She was so dedicated to helping me that she asked her team for more details about the ingredients to make sure her answers were perfect.

The Food: Unforgettable Poke

I ordered a poke bowl for $16, which lets you choose two different types of poke. I went with the spicy ahi tuna with masago and the traditional Hawaiian poke. I also added some delicious toppings like seaweed salad, dried cod (Taegu), and pickled ginger for just $1 each—a deal that’s definitely worth it.
The portion size is huge, weighing over a pound, and the presentation was beautiful. The flavors were incredible—complex and layered. The seaweed brought a taste of the sea, the pickled ginger added a tangy kick, and the spicy tuna was perfect. The Taegu, a local dish with Korean roots, gave the bowl a savory, chewy texture that made it even better.

For a drink, I chose a local Hawaiian Sun juice. It’s a great option with natural flavors, but if you want to balance out the richness of the poke, a simple water works best.

The poke bowl here is one of the most flavorful and satisfying I've had on Oahu.

A Treat to End the Meal

I also tried the shave ice with mochi, vanilla ice cream, and condensed milk. While I found it a bit too sweet for my taste (which is pretty common for local desserts), the coconut banana flavor was amazing. The small size is big enough for two people, so consider sharing it. Even if you're not a shave ice expert, this is a great place to try it.

I spent $19 poke with add ons +1.5 drink + 11 shave ice with-add ons

Unfortunately if you need to use the restroom that do not have one so make sure that you are not in a hurry and not need one .“

“It’s still taste the same when it first open till now…..gooooddddd!!!“

“Sushi Spot is truly the place to go for fresh, high-quality sushi. Everything we tried was delicious, and the service made the experience even better. The staff was so kind and attentive—always keeping our waters full and our table tidy throughout the meal. We’ll definitely be coming back again and again. Highly recommend!“

“The food is fantastic and the staff is so friendly. Outstanding, authentic Mexican ceviche and service. The tuna tostada and Cabo taco were delicious as well. Anyone looking for great Mexican seafood, this is the place to go in the island.“

“I come to Oahu every year, this is my first time here. Came to Uncles for a business dinner. It was great from start to finish. Great service, great apps, great entrees, great desert! I'll definitely visit again when I come to Oahu. I had the ahi sashimi app, shrimp & chips entree and coffee crème brûlée they were perfect and delicious.“

“First timr trying Catania Ristorante Italiano at Waimalu Shopping Center. Reservations are recommended, especially on weekends. Parking is also a challenge during the busy times. Chinese owners serving Italian food. The food is good, but not memorable good. Pasta is cooked well and their garlic cheese bread is very good. Spaghetti sauce too runny, but the Seafood Linguine is delicious. Prices are affordable, considering the portion size is generous and they don't skimp on the protein. Another plus, it's BYOB, so you can save some e $$$ on your bill.

Friendly family run business excellent service. Show your support to small businesses.“

“The food was absolutely delicious! I ordered the catfish plate with sides (Mac n Cheese & Yams). With the banging apple cobbler! A must try… Please try the bbq sauce….way back sauce from Webb’s from Cleveland, Ohio. Great Unc… would be proud of you for bringing Midwest taste to Hawaii.“

“Just when I was figuring what I was going to have for lunch, (since I skipped breakfast) my neighbor knocked on my door bringing food from Mamaya in Pearl Kai Aiea. I am blessed to have awesome neighbors that always share good eats with us and this is a spot I have yet to try. I was super excited because I’m originally from Aiea and anything from my hometown makes me super happy! They gave me a Bento Combo that had: Teri Beef, Fried Chicken, a slice of SPAM dipped in a teriyaki glaze, & a piece of fried panko fish with small container tartar sauce on a bed of multi grain rice. There was also a container with noodles with an assortment of toppings as well. Delicious! Very tasty and full of flavor. Noodles were firm and just right, not salty. The Beef Teriyaki was especially yummy!! I highly recommend this tasty local spot 😁👍“

“Such a fun market — always a great vibe with live music. There is something new to try every weekend served by the local vendors. Awesome spot for visitors to try something they haven’t before and for friends/families to gather and spend quality time together grinding on yummy food and enjoying drinks from the bar. Very family and pet friendly!“

“The food we ordered was yummy and definitely we will be back! And the service was excellent…👍🏼🤙🏻👌🏻👏“

“Ate there today.. best BBQ pork I’ve had here on Oahu. Hawaiian sauce was wonderful and baked beans were simmered with tiny pieces of jalapeños, had a slight delicious kick. Wedge salad… heavenly. i“

“Affordable price for buffet lovers. Valet parking is reasonable... Lots of choices to choose from... all you can eat for a price you will never regret...“

“We went for lunch on Good Friday and it was not so crowded. Service is great. Food is nice. The setting was not formal and it may pass as a casual setting but not as a casual diner setting thing.

We ordered mozarella in carroza, linguine chicken anchovy olio and chicken portobello. The mozarella and its dip is perfect. The linguine chicken anchovy oil is not salty. The chicken portobello is somewhat on the oily side. But all in all, it was a great food and experience.

I would love to try the other dishes.

Ohh and btw, they did not inform the last call to order. We were planning to order a take out but the kitchen was already closed.“
