Bought sashimi grade tuna and ate it raw. It was delicious. This is a good place to get fresh local fish and seafood

I love this place! The fish is always so fresh, and there are so many options from shrimp to oysters to gumbo as well!

Finding a locally owned and operated business with sustainably, locally sourced food is so important.

And I take it home to either either eat raw or prepared how I like!

Get your fish one step closer to da boat…and yours fresher.2022.12: HPR The Conversation had an interview with the owner.

Chyeeeee whatta spot!Fresh catch off the boat, home made goodies, and cheaper and fresher than anywhere else. Cooked fish from here lasted 5 days in the fridge and smelled delish after warming - why’s that? Cuz it’s fresh af from this spot!Whatcha waiting for? Go for it!

Local Ia…this hidden gem of Kaimuki, behind Kaimuki Superette & Mud, Hen. Fresh fish directly from local fisherman. Fresh fish differs daily. Other items they have regularly…fish and ulu chowder and fish gumbo. All homemade stock, frozen ready to heat and eat. They also have ahi jerky and doggy treats.They decided to open this store front about 3 weeks ago since the farmers market got a little bombarded by outsiders and made it difficult for locals to get their fresh fish without all the crowds and hassle.They have a little sign out front so you know where to turn in of 9th Ave/Waialae. Check out the pictures.Hope you enjoy this place as much as I did!

The only fish I trust for freshness and quality. Not only do they treat the fish with the utmost care but also brings in fish from local fisherman who take pride in what they do. I’d highly recommend Local I‘a.

Important work to know the justice of our food choices and feel good about our ocean-sourced nutrients!

First table was sort in the middle of traffic and they graciously moved us when asked. We ate at Mud Hen Water (another of Kenny's restaurants) the night before and it was 5 stars all the way so rating here was comparative. Town is great, just not as great for our taste

We were a party of 6 so we anticipated some delay in being served. but we had to wait quite a while for our food. The food was not remarkable, especially considering how much it cost. We had to huddle together to hear the person sitting across the table from us. The best feature of the evening was the waitstaff. They were very friendly and gracious.

Great, prompt & friendly service, lunch was great, the burger is excellent, flavorful & fresh. Their salad with fish of the day outstanding! (Free, easy parking behind their building)

Always wanted to try Town because it's in my old neighborhood, but dinner time is way too crowded. Lunch presented with different options and unusual tasty dishes. It was a little small for the male eaters, but satisfying for ladies. My guest said it was a good choice!

The ahi tartare was fantastic! I'd like to go again for that! The stake was a little pricey because of the size. However, everything on the stake plate was very delicious. Hand cut pasta was unique and tasty!

Great place, excellent food and awesome service. I would highly recommend this establishment for dining out or to impress out of town guests. The food is exceptional and I will frequent this place for sure!

Normally I order the Mao Salad & grilled chicken (tasty!) but when my guest ordered the burger, I figured what the heck, I'll try it. ....OUTSTANDING! ! And the fries were fabulously addictive!
