I had the poke bowl with kimchi shrimp and Maui onion ahi with a few toppings. There are no words to describe how fresh and delicious the poke was. Service was mediocre, but the food more than made up for it.

It's a "to go" fresh seafood. Don't wait too late, they will run out. The fresh fish is delicious.

Straight off the plane, had to stop and get my poke fix. I was hoping they’d have a good selection because it was late in the day and the fresh poke is usually gone. They did.

Highly recommend the spicy shrimp, cali poke, and limu poke on sushi rice. You can add toppings, but I didn’t. My brother didn’t tell me til after we paid, but they have a great selection of toppings if you want to add to your bowl. I’m good with fresh poke and rice.

I wasn’t impressed with the Tako, I think the black pepper kind of threw off the taste, but that’s a personal opinion. Still ate it all so it’s all good, just probably won’t get it next time.

The staff is nice too so that’s always a plus coming to a small shop!

A local recommended this place to us. We split the Hawaiian Plate with Kalua pork. To die for! Definitely going back and highly recommend!

The poke portion was very small. The service was good! The poke tasted okay, too. I feel like my expectations were too high. 3/5 stars.

Fresh off the plane & this hit the spot. Delicious spicy Ahi and sliced Tako on sushi rice, topped with edamame and seaweed salad. What could be better, on a beautiful first day in Kauai?! Oh, and we had their delicious, melt-in-your-mouth cassava mochi cake 🤤 Heavenly.
As for the atmosphere, it’s a small and cramped spot, so either go outside somewhere (there’s a few make-do bench-like structures) or eat in your car or just make it a takeaway.

My husband and I had been craving poke bowls, but we both prefer salmon. This place has amazing salmon options! And the bowls definitely tasted fresh, wonderful topping choices and friendly staff!! Highly recommend if you're on Kauai!

Fish Express has consistently excellent poke, with a large selection, and a good variety of optional toppings. Their greens base is very nice, not just romaine and cabbage like since places, the greens here are very nice assorted salad greens.

We were a bit disappointed, but it didn't kill us or anything. Not as good as Maguro Bros.
