it can be a bit unfair for these high quality sushi guys to do poke since poke is more of a choice from fish markets + food markets. BUT, there is no denying their poke is one of the best on the islands because they are sushi guys with high standards. the ume + shiso is out of this world!

For a take-out/order place for sushi and poke, the quality of the fish couldn't be better! Each time I passed by it, there was a line so I decided to go get it a little later than there opening. The quality of the fish is perfect, including the sauces that they put on/with it.

Although Ming Hing is also a Meat store, I've seen the meats but am only here for the seafood, fish cake to be exact! Next time when I am with my momma we will grab meats. One of my shop that I usually grab fish cake from has closed for good. I was on a search for fish cake and I happen to come across this stall at the Kekaulike market. I did a quick search on Yelp and came across 5 stars ratings, pics and read Paul C.'s review quick. (the Mayor of Chinatown) I know I will trust Ming Hing. Ming Hing Meat and Seafood Market is kinda messy but I was happy to see fish cake and great price @$7.50 lb. The older man who helped me is very friendly. I am glad he understood me. I always get 2 lb and if it is over he will ask if it is ok. This recent visit I purchased 3 lbs so my momma can make her fresh bitter melon soup and have some leftovers fish cake to make another soup dish. I love the fresh fish cake, I can imagine the hard work to make this. All in all, I am glad I found another business for when my momma needs and request for me to get fish cake. Be careful on the wet floors at times when they are cleaning. Recommend!

This is a really small takeout spot, with no seating and a bit hidden. However, the fish was incredibly fresh and that really comes through the most. My wife is more about the flavourings in poke, which to be honest we’ve had better back in Canada. The thing though is at. $15 price point can you ask for fresher fish?! It was served room temperature? Which was new to us but I enjoyed it and would go back. My wife would probably give it 4 stars but I’ll leave it with a 5. We had the Hawaiian, Shoyu and Spicy mayo. I also had the uni, but to be fair that’s my first time trying uni, so I’m not sure what to compare it to.

We wanted to try poke from different places in Oahu to compare them and Maguro Brothers was one of the place highly recommended. Very fresh fish but at double the price of poke compared to Foodland. Is it worth it? Not sure. They do offer other options like sashimi, etc... but dont make the mistake of ordering the uni and scallops sashimi. I dont think its worth it as you get really tiny pieces, the uni almost melted.

I have shopped here for oxtail and pigs feet but I did not know about the fishcake. Thanks to Paul C I now have a new source for fishcake, one of my essential ingredients for my jook. The men there are really nice and even though I don't speak Chinese, they were able to understand and accommodate. They disconnected their land line so if you call, you will get a disconnect message. Don't worry, they are still there. My New Year will be happy now. Thank you to the men of Ming Hing and Paul C.

This chain has two places: one in Chinatown and one in Waikiki. We tried the Waikiki location for dinner. It is a little place and only orders to go since there is no indoor seating (I saw people stood outside and eat). The restaurant only opens from 5:40 pm to 8 pm. We came around 5:30 pm and the line was short. We spent 20 minutes between waiting in line and picking up our food. We ate at the International building from the other side of the Main Street. The sashimi was so fresh and delicious. It was really amazing so we went back in line to order the second round. This time we had to wait in line longer and it took us 40 min to get our food!!! Here are my tips: 1. Come early before 5:30 pm to avoid waiting in long line 2. Pay extra for ginger as they only give a little bit with your order 3. Besides sashimi, try the poke too

This was my first poke experience when I landed. Highly rated and well worth it driving into Chinatown. My cousins and I ordered the ume & shio, mix maguro donburi, chutoro & shoyu and the king salmon combo with a side of uni. Wow everything here was so fresh and buttery. Prices are reasonable. The fish to rice ratio is perfect. Speaking with one of the chefs they get their ingredients locally or through Japan every other day. Its a small location located in a small indoor shopping center with plenty of other food vendors. Lines here are pretty small and they prep your food really quickly. I am really pick with my sushi. The tuna, salmon and uni were definitely fresh. My cousins and I kept talking about Maguro being our favorites. There is outdoor dining right in the center of the shopping center. Parking is limited to street or garage parking. Highly recommend this place if you want qualify poke and better cuts of fish.

Maguro Brothers is housed in a China Town market and serves good quality sushi. I visited for lunch on a recent trip and had the Chu-Toro Domburi and Hawaiian Limu Ahi. The sushi was fresh and tender and the Hawaiian Limu Ahi was tangy with a light kick. This is a nice choice for quality sushi.

I'm ashamed to admit I had never been to this restaurant/ fish stall before. OMG! If you love sashimi like I do, you need to come here! High quality sashimi and very good prices. I still can't believe they charged me only 30 dollars for some high grade Blue Fin Tuna! It tasted and went down like butter! You know they could easily charge this for double the price at restaurants. The rest of the of sashimi, uni and scallops were simply delicious! There is only 4 small tables for eat in. It's located inside a market in Chinatown. Lots of homeless walking around. Don't be afraid though, they don't bother you but will ask you for some money for food. EPIC meal and I will be back!
I've had Maguro Brothers bookmarked for a while because of their $6 poke bowls (small). It's now $6.75 but it's well worth it and a great deal - if you are not getting supermarket poke. Hubby and I got there at around 11 on a Thursday and there were already a few groups ahead of us who had already ordered. There are three tables but luckily no one was dining in, so we had the seating area to ourselves. We ordered the Hawaiian Limu Ahi with a side of uni for an additional $6.95. While it was good, I don't know if it was worth it sine it was such a small side. You're probably better off ordering a second small poke bowl. The ahi was great though - no complaints there, and they give a good amount even for a small. While I wouldn't go out of my way to come back here next time, I definitely would make a stop if I happened to be in Chinatown. Tip - located in the back of Kekaulike Market

I am unable to physically go down to Chinatown to order food. So I ordered thru ubereats and had it delivered. One of the items I ordered was salmon and poke combo. I couldn't believe when I opened it there were 5 or 6 pieces of salmon the size of pieces of poke. I called and spoke to owner and he really didn't care, told me come to restaurant it's 30% cheaper. What the h@#&!!!

when in Hawaii is a must...what a fresh place to eat fish. if you're a seafood lover look no more. I loved this place!

Some of the best and freshest sushi bowls in town. So good! Don’t forget the extra uni add-on.

Fish is always fresh, like their Hamachi sashimi or broiled kama the best.
