Let me just start by saying, nothing but good things to say about Paradise Poke!!! Our first time visiting we ordered the 2 choice poke bowl. I had the spicy Hawaiian poke and the Shoyu poke. Both were great!!! If you love spicy, you will love the spicy Hawaiian. On my second visit I tried the ginger scallion poke and I have to say that is my new favorite!! The flavors are just so good in the ginger scallion poke!!! Definitely a must try! Bowls are on par with prices you may find elsewhere, the rice was good, poke serving generous and also comes with a side! Fish was also fresh!!!

Taste of the poke was decent enough, however the bowls here are pretty expensive. It's was good to try once but don't think I'll be a regular customer.

When you're right across the street from Foodland Farms... your poke really gotta stand out. Paradise Poke does a good job at doing that. Their poke is market price, which is significantly more expensive than what you can get by the pound from other spots but they do have a commitment to supporting local fisherman which is awesome. We ordered one poke bowl and one hawaiian bowl. The Hawaiian bowl is one choice poke, I got their spicy Hawaiian Alaea, and then kalua pig and lomi salad. The kalua pig was pretty salty, but lucky for us we had poi at home to pair it with that balanced out the salt. The spicy Hawaiian was spicy without having to use spicy mayo, and instead used dried chili flakes. Sometimes a lot of mayo gives me the ick, so I liked their take on the spicy Hawaiian. It also has macadamia nut for a little crunch! We also got their two choice poke bowl with their truffle ponzu salmon and ginger scallion ahi. The poke bowl also came with a choice of side, and we got the yuzu cucumber. I really liked this combo of the truffle ponzu and ginger scallion, the flavors just complimented each other well and I like that I got two different types of fish. For the 2 choice poke bowl we upgraded to sushi rice for an extra $1. I wouldn't recommend the sushi rice upgrade, just the regular white rice was fine. They also sell a variety of grab n' go things like onigiri, musubis, and even jars of pickled mango. There's even dishes like smoked short ribs, baked salmon, and garlic shrimp if you aren't in the mood for raw fish.

I got their ahi limu poke bowl. it's good.. but honestly food land farms they packed their poke bowl a-lot. For the price i paid at paradise poke the amount that they give its not fully packed.. The ambiance was perfectly okay with friendly service and a great manager.

The poke here is pretty good. I had the ginger onion and a spicy ahi with no mayo. Fish was fresh and I like that you get a side, which I like the ocean salad. Bowls are pricey and portions are not big, but I guess that's everywhere these days. The pastele was just okay. I've had much better pastele.

I'm a big Musubi lover. I normally have to go in to town (Iyasumi) or Mamaya to get my fix. I've been seeing posts about Paradise Poke and decided to give it a try. I think the previous business was a Boba shop. The store was nicely renovated and you can tell they invested in the remodeling. The parking lot isn't huge but easy enough to find a space. It's in the little mall across from the Sam's Club gas station. I ordered a bunch of musubis, crunchy Ume (my go to), spam Musubi, Salmon (my wife's favorite), Salmon and inure, Gottenberg sausage. You can definitely taste the rice quality, very different from a 7/11 Musubi. Prices were a little high, but everything has gone up right. I also purchase a bag of beef crisps which was good but was a little pricey (~$15). We got there when it wasn't busy and paid quickly without any issues. I'll definitely be back to get more musubis.

I have not done a review in so looong! But immediately knew I had to, after demolishing my poke bowl! I ordered their spicy ahi poke bowl which comes with ginger and your choice of ocean salad, crab, or pickled cucumbers. You can request all three, you just have to pay extra. Their spicy poke is fresh and so delicious! I would recommend coming in during the morning because they run out quick! Also their customer service is top tier! I love a good restaurant with good people!

First time here, saw them on TV. Two locations Pearl City & Hawaii Kai. Try there Poki, it was ok. But at $32- a lbs. a little high. The Shrimp and noodles was ok, Fried rice too. The high light was there Musubi...the rice quality was really good, I think they use Tamaki Gold. The Nori was perfect and Crunchy. Located by Sam Club gas station in Pearl City. They were out of BBQ Short Ribs around 2pm. and also some Poki items. Open at 6:00am to 10:30am for Breakfast. Lunch starts at 10:30am to 8pm. Aloha, Derek

As a new poke spot, the cuts of the ahi is lazy and unacceptable. We also came here at 2pm on a Sunday and everything on the menu are mostly sold out. What was left was scraps.. such a shame
Paradise Poke is located in the little strip of eateries by the Sam's Club Gas Station. Poke is a Hawaii staple, and having awesome Poke is a must in order for Poke spots to stay open. My mom and I visited on a Tuesday around 3pm or so. Upon browsing the musubi and Poke options, I decided to order a Poke bowl with sushi rice, ocean salad, and the truffle ponzu salmon Poke. Buuuutttt, they didn't have any of the salmon Poke. Upon speaking to the girl at the counter further, it turns out that they were out of quite a bit of their Poke selection at the time. Not sure how that would fare, considering they were to be open for business for another 5 hours. I do hope they replenished before people started coming for dinner options. I know they have other food options as well, but to be close to out of Poke at a Poke establishment is not good... Anyway, I was hungry, so I ordered the Ahi FTW (furikake, truffle, wasabi) instead. The Poke was fresh, good, and didn't have a strong wasabi punch, but was just right. Not bad. My mom got the same, but also had the ginger scallion ahi Poke as well. The flavor was good. Prices were a little up there, but I'll try again. Although I didn't get to try what I wanted, I give 4 stars for the innovative and unique flavor offerings. But I do hope to try that salmon one soon.

I had really high hopes for this place because everything sounded yummy! But I was a little disappointed in the poke. You can definitely tell it was previously frozen, which I'm usually okay with, but their fish had an unusual texture to it - almost a little too soft/mushy. I ordered it as poke nachos, and the won ton chips and sauces were so good - it was just the fish that made the dish kind of meh for me. I do want to go back and try some of their other food though! And the service was super friendly.
