Poke Restaurants near Kaneohe, HI

“The first fish I sampled had me ready to buy two bowls immediately. They told me it was “previously frozen fresh” — I don’t even know how that works, but it didn’t matter because it tasted like it was caught five minutes ago by someone who takes their job very seriously.

Then the lady goes,
“Wait, try this one.”

Me: “…Excuse me?”

Next thing I know, I’m leaving with six different pokes, a spam musubi, and this egg-wrapped poke bite that felt borderline spiritual.

If you’re in the area and you don’t come here?
Shame on you.

Best poke on the island.
Staff = incredible.
Food = unreal.“

“Let me say that it was an awesome choice deciding to stop in here. I am so glad we did. The food was so delicious 😋 I had chicken cutlet with the rice and gravy and im telling you so ono, yessah! The flavor of the breading and the crunch 100% The staff so nice and welcoming. If you visiting the island stop in and you wont be disappointed, be nice and respectful and it will returned to you with interest 👍Aloha 🤙“

“Fresh catch is the best! Reasonable prices too“

“Great service and super friendly with great food! Made daily and great choices. Must try it and you’ll love ❤️ it!“

“We were in Hawaii for 8 days and ate at Poke Fix three times. The food is great, the people are friendly and they get you in and out quickly. I would recommend them to anyone.“

“Visited Ohana Poke House for lunch and really enjoyed it!

I got the chicken teriyaki bowl since I'm pregnant. The flavors were comforting and the portion was huge. I was stuffed. Hubby got their ahi shoyu bowl and thoroughly enjoyed it. He said it was fresh and very well sauced.

This restaurant is located on the second floor, and there's a free parking lot out front. The staff was friendly, the vibes are very casual, and they really take their time to prepare each meal so you know it's fresh. Would recommend!“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️5 Stars. This place has the best quality poke I’ve had! Spicy King Salmon, Spicy ahi with Uni! 🥢🥢🥢 We go here for all our poke and sashimi platters, we get spicy ahi, Hawaiian salt tako, and tobikko King Salmon. In love. They have two locations, one with indoor dining! Perfect for families as well.“

“God this place is incredible. A real family spot and true local joint. The food is incredible, the portions are generous, and the price is hard to beat. We hand a bunch of their breakfast plates and substituted the rice for their fried rice - which was so classic and delicious. We also had their limu poke and spicy tuna poke. Both were so buttery and Ono. Better that foodland! I wish this place was closer to home but it’s such a good excuse to cruise east side.“

“There is seating and you can bring about four or five people per table. There’s also seating outside. It’s a really cool area of dying with family, friends or coworkers and also there is parking lots of parking right behind. It is literally connected within the storage building. literally it is located across McKinley high school’s football field. It is such a jam. They have really good fish there. The ambience is calm. It’s pretty quiet and next-door they have other high-end restaurants. This is a really good area to be in if you want to hang out with people visiting and or just bonding.“

“ジンジャーのpokeが特に素晴らしかった✨️✨️✨️凄くご飯に合うので丼で食べるのがおすすめです。“

“Poke was delicious, fresh, and flavorful. Recommend the spicy creamy garlic ahi. Service was exceptional! We had a big group and it was our first time visiting this spot. The person who handled our order was so patient, thorough, and accommodating with all our questions about the menu.“

“Love this spot. It is a quick and fresh poke spot. They serve fresh fish in all their bowls and rolls etc. Street parking is fairly easy to find close by and they have indoor counter seating and a small outdoor patio. The costumer service has always been good.“

“Yummy options, from local ahi poke to salmon and octopus. Good selection of toppings.. friendly staff.. in a prime location. Decent price for Waiki, more expensive than similar poke places in Manhattan so don't expect cheap. Regular, which is large portion is large.“

“Very good poke. Reasonable prices and blocks away from the beach I wan they weren’t 4500 miles away from my home but it will be my first stop next time back Mahalo FIVE STAR POKE“

“The best to ring in the new year, ran into a bit of a snafu trying to pick up my order, (no fault of theirs), she went above and beyond and still got my order! I love them and what they represent. My go to for the freshest poke on the island hands down! My friend Chef Adam Tabura recommended them and the rest is history! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“This place has some great poke, bento, and musubi choices, including options for vegans and vegetarians. It is a convenient location, too, in the same strip mall as Starbucks, so a great stop to get morning coffee and breakfast or lunch for the day. They sell out sometimes of the vegetarian options, though, which is a testament to how yummy their food is!“

“Breakfast at Fresh Bites has become a weekly routine for me. To the point that they remember my order... Service here is fast and you can usually get a table to dine in pretty quickly. Prices are reasonable and I like the diversity of the menu. I often get the mochi benedicts for breakfast and poke bowls for lunch.“

“large portions, super customizable which is awesome for a picky eater but also if you want to try new things, there are so many options and you could easily eat something by new every day for two weeks.

poke is sooo fresh and good plus the furikake on top makes everything so much better. I’ve eaten here every day on my trip in waikiki and it really is such a gem. 11/10 don’t miss it and order online to skip the line. I usually order online and it’s impressive how on time they are even with a huge in person line“

“So delicious“

“I had the macadamia aburi salmon with avocado and it was amazing! It was so good I went back the next day. Now I'm pissed that I have to go home and won't be able to eat this anymore! The service both days was friendly, I can't say enough good things about this place!“

“Hubby saw this eatery on a local show so while in Fort Street Mall, we popped in. Loved our poke bowls, will definitely go again!“

“Hidden gem, I love the sweet potato with the spicy ahi here. I’m from Oahu and haven’t had a favorite poke spot besides places I’ve been on Big Island or Foodland, but this place is an easy favorite. The guys who work here know their stuff haha, you get so much food too and the cost is worth it for the quality.“

“It is very delicious and fresh and the combination that one needs The best El mejor que he probado“

“Hubby saw this eatery on a local show so while in Fort Street Mall, we popped in. Loved our poke bowls, will definitely go again!“

“So although its been awhile, I’ve eaten takeout from here many times before and I always get the same thing all the time, the #14 Teriyaki Beef Bowl with Black Rice. You have your choice of rice ? including white but i can get white rice anywhere. I can’t get black. Good tasting and healthy. Comes with small cup of clear broth. $14.99 isn’t cheap by any means hence the 4 stars but it is unique and different from my usual, plus rising costs of ingredients, mall rent and just plain running a business in Hawaii, $14.99 is almost average. Its clean, employees are friendly and I’m satisfied so it works out fine. Will be back.“

“Looking for late night food? Hnl Poke is the spot late night bar food! I got the nachos and steak plate. Nachos was ok I paid a additional $3 for kalua topping. The Steak had good sear and seasoning. In total I spent $30 still cheaper than Zippys“

“My wife and I stayed at the Wayfinder Waikiki for a week recently. We loved the accommodations but were pleasantly surprised by the incredible in-house restaurant, Redfish. The Happy Hour featured the best Poke Nachos we’d ever eaten. The ahi and Torched Misoyaki were premium fish with an outstanding flavor and combined with a second dish, were perfect for the two of us. We combined the Poke with two of our other favorites, Honey Walnut Shrimp and the Redfish Fish and Chips. The fish and chips was the fresh catch of the day and the chef served up swordfish and other specialities that featured local Hawaiian fish.

Finally, I would be remiss if I didn’t mention the wait staff. One young lady named Kaya, served us on a couple of occasions and she is one of the most thoughtful, joyful, fun, and attentive servers we have ever experienced. She always recommended the fantastic combinations that we enjoyed and really enhanced our Redfish restaurant experience. If you decide to visit Redfish, look for Kaya and you’ll enjoy great food and incredible service!“

“The atmosphere in that food court is a bit crap, but luckily the poke place has indoor seating! The poke itself was a very generous portion (I got a large, with 3 fish scoops of fish) and I barely managed to finish it. Everything was very tasty and fresh, and the staff were very friendly“

“Friendly fast service, fresh fish, great prices!! My favorite is fancy sashimi bowl. I was able to purchase uni from Hokkaido!!“

“We came on a day where they were understaffed and very busy!
The food took awhile to get out, but it was well worth the wait! The kalbi burger was so flavorful and so good! And the garlic fries weren’t too over powering with garlic- just the right amount!
We had the best bartender who made the wait both entertaining and fun. Although she faced a series of unfortunate events- Danielle showed professionalism, and stayed smiling and laughing through it all and made sure to communicate everything clearly to everyone.
As industry people ourselves, we know how it can be, we hope you see this because you did great girl and we loved you! (The two “black cats” for reference!)
We will be back for sure while we’re here on vacation!!“

“We almost thought we were in the wrong spot. Very unassuming from the outside, but an ABSOLUTE HIDDEN GEM. Chelsea is one of a kind. The food, drinks, service, everything was beyond perfect. We have never had an experience even close. I hope those reading this feel the authenticity of these words. We love you Chelsea!

Almost forgot, we tried the fried beef gyoza, chicken and waffles, orange chicken and a variety of incredible drinks. Even our picky kids agreed. Thanks again for one of the most memorable experiences of our lives!“

“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 .“

“Their sushi cake exceeded our expectations. It was so delicious and almost too pretty to eat! The 2 guys working when I picked up were awesome! Super friendly and one even took the time to show me the cake and gave tips on how to cut and eat it! Their customer service from ordering to pick up was exceptional!“

“Kimchi fry rice is amazing and the poke is fire, definitely on my list of top grinds.“

“Incredible flavor & huge portions! I had the Garlic Parmesan Crusted Ahi over brown rice. I’ll absolutely be back!“

“Food is fresh healthy & onolicious👍🏻👍🏻 The brisket musubi & brisket Katsu bomb👍🏻👍🏻“

“Please support your local businesses! This is a hidden gem and the food is delicious. The lady that waited on me was wonderful and informative. I had the Salmon Donburi (poke bowl) with the Miso soup (about 1/2 cup). For those of you who like the aesthetics of a meal, it was prepared in a delightful and beautiful manner. I felt bad that I had to eat the beautifully prepared dish. The soup was good and the Salmon donburi was salted to a perfection and the rest of the bowl (avocado, cabbage, greens) complemented it well.“

“The freshest Poke on the Eastside, hands down! Mahalo“

“very filling. yum. like the salmon bowl.“

“Their hawaiian plate was so Ono & the portions were big. Highly recommended.“

“Awesome food and cocktails“

“Fresh Catch is a fantastic spot for fresh fish & poke dishes. A deli style counter inside with simple menu items & pictures makes even a first time customer feel comfortable. The waiting area is just that, a place to sit and wait, though the service is fast and friendly. By the time you casually look at the all pictures, you’re order will be coming along & be careful of the heat on the bottom of to-go trays, I almost burnt myself, but that’s okay because it’s fresh! Good portion & priced accordingly…recommend 🤙🏼🎣“

“I went to several great poke places during my trip to Hawaii, and this one was by far the best. The salad was fresh and the dressing was delicious. They say they don't use frozen fish, so the tuna sashimi was so fresh and the seasoning was perfect, making it the best. Even my 11-year-old son enjoyed it very much!
The owner, Tommy, was very pleasant and friendly.
I was so sad that I visited on the last day. I definitely recommend it.“

“very healthy for lunch and dinner. if you love sashimi with your salad check this place out. The white dressing is killahs.“

“Authentic Okinawa food. Friendly attentive servers. Hot delicious food. . Option for complete meal. Daily Specials. Generous servings. Affordable prices. Can make reservations.“

“Fresh tuna and salmon! It was super fresh and delicious! I enjoyed their sushi and it was so so affordable! It was such a great meal :) I would love to go back again next time when I visit Hawaii. I highly recommend this place if you love sushi. It was great and they have plenty of seats and it was a clean and nice food hall. ❤️“

“Hidden gem! Only locals really know about this spot. The food is super affordable and always fresh — never frozen. My go-to is the salmon belly plate, it’s so ONO! The staff is always friendly and welcoming. Definitely one of my favorite seafood places in Honolulu. 🐟✨“

“Kau Kau is serving up delicious grinds consistently. The BBQ sauce on the ribs is some of the best I've ever tasted. Mac salad is kept separately so it doesn't get warm sitting next to the ribs and rice. Prices are fair. If you have never been, I strongly suggest you try it. The whole menu on point.“

“I happened to find this place and decided to give it a try. The food had a comforting, homemade taste that really hit the spot. You can choose your type of rice, and for the side, you get to pick between seaweed or cucumber. It also comes with pickled ginger, which was a nice touch. Everything was good!“
