Poke Restaurants near Mililani, HI

“Chef Elmer made our tasting experience 1000/10. Wedding planning is stressful enough and he made making the dinner menu a breeze!! He’s super accommodating and very very nice will always recommend! And will 100% be back in the future when visiting Hawaii. Thank you again you’re the best!!“

“Great place! Line was out the door. Poke is served both on rice or on fresh salad. The varieties are delicious and all the options are fresh! The staff was extra careful to help with our order and the portions were just right! We loved it!“

“Best Poke on the whole Island!!!!!!! I had the Ahi Poke Nachos on the first day of our trip to Oahu. Best poke during the whole trip!“

“found this little gem and so glad I did! Poke is soo good and fresh with lots of topping options. When in KoOlina you must stop in for some Poke.“

“Today was my first time ordering online and eating the chicken katsu plate. The ordering online experience was super easy and when I went in to pick up my order it was ready and the people at the counter were very pleasant and very helpful. The katsu here was one of the best ive ever had.“

“The only reason I left off 1 star is because the owner or manager needs to take the time to update the prices on the menu but besides that the food was good. I got Ahi katsu so you can't really mess that up lol but the front register girl Miya was an absolute ray of sunshine. Super sweet and answered all my questions and entertained my small talk. Great customer service“

“What an amazing experience! We had the bubble waffle and gyoza with fried noodles for brunch and everything was so delicious! Their magic butterfly tea lemonade was so refreshing and not too sweet. Our server Chelsea was so bubbly and friendly and made it a 5 star experience! Can't wait to go back to try their other drinks and dishes😋“

“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 .“

“If you want a good poke' place, look to Monarch Poke' ... this is one of the few places we frequent, we always grab Poke' Nachos here wether it be the garlic chili oil ahi and the furikake salmon Poke' Nachos, or just going for a simple California Poke' Bowl. They pack quite a punch to your hankering for food. As for me, my favorite thing to grab is their ube cheesecake. :)
So if you're in need of a good suggestion for poke' bowls other than your typical Foodland Poke' Bowls 🥣 this place is definitely on that map of suggestions. :D
As they have tables for you to enjoy your bowl and just relax for a while.“

“Nice selection of traditional Hawaiian favorites at reasonable prices and generous portions!“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“Wonderful lunch with my wife at this gem I had almost forgotten about after being brought here over 10 years ago. Pleasant waitress, great food, and even a friendly cat who’s obviously spoiled rotten and loves cheese and shrimp.“

“Ordered the roasted pork with their popular wasabi masago poke, and it was delicious. The pork was crispy and flavorful, good even without the dipping sauce. The wasabi ahi was firm, fresh, and balanced, with the wasabi enhancing without overpowering. This spot is now on my list for takeout when I am in the area. Staff were friendly and easy to chat with, and I appreciate businesses like this.“

“Food is so Onolicious, always a good call when it comes to lunch. Ty“

“The garlic ahi poke was ono!!“

“Get there early and you’ll be very happy. This place has some of the best poke you can find anywhere. Everything tastes incredibly fresh, which makes sense given the location—right on the fishing docks. You can really tell the fish hasn’t traveled far from the ocean to your plate. The selection is excellent, the flavors are spot-on, and the atmosphere feels authentic and local, not touristy. Watching the boats and being so close to where the fish are brought in just adds to the experience. If you’re serious about good poke, this spot is absolutely worth a visit—just don’t wait too late in the day or you might miss out.“

“Convenient , tasty, and fast. You can't ask for more.“

“Twisted Grub is absolutely amazing. The food is homemade, tasty, flavorful, and absolutely delectable. The ingredients are fresh and the value of the meals is absolutely amazing. I highly recommend Twisted Grub to anyone who is trying to eat healthy and want a nice homemade healthy meal with fresh ingredients.“

“I went there on Wednesday about 115p. There's lots of free parking. I like the male cashier employees because they're more friendly. This time I got the crispy noodle with chicken. But I've also ordered garlic shrimp, salt and pepper shrimp, chicken wings. These are the plate lunches I like the most. I would continue to eat here if I'm in the area“

“They were temporarily closed, but now they’re back with new ownership and an exciting reopening! The menu is easier to navigate, with tons of new original drinks and even more yakiniku options. Definitely worth checking out for the fresh updates!“

“This is a charming location in converted old gas station. We each had a 24 oz smoothie (coconut, mango, and a couple of mixed combinations) to start while waiting for our food outside on a picnic bench. The food was one of the best we’ve had on the islands: Kahlua pork, Kalbi ribs, Teriyaki chicken, Furikake Ahi, squid luau, fresh caught fish, fish tacos, macaroni salad, tossed salad and coconut cake with pineapple for dessert. Highly recommended!“

“Food quality is good. I ordered the ahi and hamachi salad, as well as the Kapalama roll. Ingredients are fresh and the fish was great. Price was also fair. Location is right off Dillingham with construction, but is managable to access by bus at King Street.“
