My favorite restaurant in the whole world! Poke is of course the best. Seeing them filet the giant ahiās and then mixing all the stuff just adds ambiance to me. Have to go early to see this though. Also love all the daily plates and the fried chicken.

This spot is within a walking distance from Leonardās. They only offer 15 min takeout parking spots. There is a bench to sit indoors if you want to eat there. We ordered the spicy hawaiian and spicy salmon. The fish tasted fresh and succulent. Spicy salmon tasted sweet like eating mango with chili. The sauce on spicy hawaiian was creamy and tasty, albeit a little too salty to my taste. They have a lot of options so it may take a while to decide. A decent poke spot in my view.
š We have gone to both brick and mortar locations (Honolulu and Kaneohe) since we are find that quality of their pokes to EXCEED any other poke on the island (yes this includes Foodland š«£).
š Their pokes have NO fishy smell, great texture (almost melts in your mouth), and well thought out flavors. You order the poke by weight. I recommend getting 1/4 - 1/2 lb to start. This place is a local gem that we will continue to support š©µ
š Must Tries:
⢠Poke bowl w/
* Ahi Shoyu (umami and sweet)
* Hawaiian Blend (sweet and salty)
* Spicy Shoyu
* Wasabi Shoyu
* Firecracker Ahi
* Salmon Poke
* Old School Ahi (simple)
⢠Ahi Katsu plate
š We have tried a āØvariety⨠of their pokes since itās always something new when we return back to Oahu. The workers are always kind and welcoming every time we visit. Especially the older granny - very humble and happy. All the must tries are hits and you will not be disappointed. WE LOVE FRESH CATCH.
š Honolulu location ā
* Few dedicated parking spot
* Be mindful there might not be an open spot of park ā may have to wait OR find street parking
* No dine-in ā we go to this location often since we can take our food to to our place to devour their food in private

I will definitely go back next time.

This place has the BEST poke we ever tasted. We at here a decade ago and came back finally in 2025 to an amazing and incredible dinner! Also, we arrived about 45 minutes before closing, but they were amazing and offered us anything, were very friendly, and said they would make it for us if it wasn't in the case, and made sure we had a place to sit and eat. Plus, they were very excited to recomend their favorites and even gave us a sample to convince us how good it was. Can't wait to come back!!!

this place is great! very nice and helpful staff! Today my friends and I went and we ordered delicious fresh poke and then after we finished a sweet lady working at the store offered us free Wasabi poke! it was very kind of her. While eating in the car, she even went up to ask if we'd like water with that. The staff is so friendly and the food was very great! I highly recommend

Poor customer service , cashier is rushed , very limited parking. Absolutely no seating available , people were literally standing outside eating . After ordering collected part of your order and then told to wait outside for the rest of the order in the blazing hot sun . Not how I remembered this place was at their old location which had ample parking , good seating and actual employees to sell the poke . I donāt know why this new place is rated so high . Update NOV 2025 , stopped by again to give it another try ,(because the 1st time i had poke on the island it was from here and it was so good) . This time though you could go inside and order , min seating available but you probably won't want to sit here , same unfriendly cashiers , Now I'll never go back there .
Everything was so fresh! Super simple, good portions, and everything tasted amazing

This fish market is truly one of those rare gems that you canāt help but rave about. They serve some of the freshest, highest-quality dishes youāll find anywhere, and you can taste it in every bite. The ahi katsu is the standout ā perfectly crispy on the outside with that golden crunch, and unbelievably tender on the inside. It literally melts in your mouth. Itās one of those dishes that makes you stop mid-bite because you canāt believe how good it is.
Portions are very generous, too. You easily end up with leftovers, and somehow it tastes just as good later. Thatās how you know the quality is real.
The vibe inside is exactly what you want from a true fresh market ā nothing fake or commercial. You see the fish, smell the freshness, and feel that authentic local energy. Itās not trying too hard, itās just good. Real. Honest. And delicious.
One of my favorite parts is the auntys who work there. They always show love, always greet you with warmth, and make you feel like family from the moment you walk in. That kind of hospitality is rare, and it makes every visit feel special.
If thereās any downside, itās only that they close early, so you have to plan your day around it ā but honestly, itās worth adjusting your schedule. When something is this fresh and this good, you make the time.
Overall, this is absolutely a must-try spot for anyone who loves quality seafood, generous portions, and genuine aloha-style service. Iāll keep coming back again and again.
