After a hike we found this poke place and it was just amazing, people here are so kind and full of Aloha, and the poke it’s really one of the best in Hawai’i, so fresh and delicious!
I got the regular with 2 choices and my favorite was the spicy ahi.
You are going to love this place 🙌🏻

Really delicious poke! The Hawaiian style was excellent. My only complaint is that their is only a $2 difference between the mini ($17.99) and regular ($19.99). It seems like the price gap should be larger for nearly half the amount of food. I went ahead and ordered the regular because of this.

Very popular spot. I need to ask for less toppings bc it could be quite salty. There is always a long queue but they serve quickly. Very fresh poke.

Hype is not real. Poke is average. You can find better. Price not friendly for what you get.

I went in the afternoon so there wasn’t much of a line! They were very efficient at the whole ordering process. I got half rice and half greens which is a dream. The poke was perfect, give this place a Michelin star. A must go! We were recommended this place form our waiter at Fete which was the best rec ever.

After hiking Manoa Falls Trail, we were hungry and saw a long line for poke and stopped here. I ordered both spicy tuna and regular ahi tuna, and unfortunately the tuna was slimy, chewy, and didn’t taste very fresh - not sure if this was from thawed frozen fish or made the day before. I also tried the garlic ahi separately because we were told it was popular, but all of them tasted overly salty. The garlic sauce tastes like a garlic green onion sauce that Chinese people make to dip plain chicken.
The octopus was probably the best part of the bowl - not amazing, but decent compared to the rest. The sushi rice was another downside - very heavy on the vinegar and completely overpowered the poke. Overall, the bowl just didn’t come together well, and the quality didn’t meet expectations for poke. Portions were fine, but freshness and balance were lacking especially given the price.

Good bowls, but the spicy ahi had a sour/bitter aftertaste that lingered. Either the freshness of the fish or mayo might be the culprit, but seems like an single incidental thing. Price was a tad higher than some other local favorites. Your experience will likely be better than mine!
The poke is always fresh and tasty. You can always count on a good meal here!

I’ll say it, best poke I’ve had hands down. Fish is always super fresh and melt in your mouth tender. Ginger scallion and spicy ahi is the go to combo for me. Always hits the mark. Line moves fast so don’t be discouraged if there is a crowd during lunch rush. For a more peaceful dining experience I like to head to Manoa park (up E Manoa Rd a couple blocks then left) and eat at the little tables in the parking lot. 11/10

Sold by weight. Portions were small, and the spicy ahi was over-sauced. Prices are on the higher side.
