Amazing poke place in Waikiki. Spicy mayo tuna and garlic shrimping is very delicious. Fish is very fresh, and sauce is super flavorful. The $3.75 coconut pudding is easily better than $10+ desserts in other fine dining restaurants. Highly recommended!

I remembered this place as more delicious. Poke maguro was not completely defrosted when I had it, wasabi was a bit too strong and it was a little too salty over all. Didn't get asked about rice but do they have brown rice?

Tried the Ahi Poke with soy sauce. The fish was fresh and tasty, the rice hot. The contrast between hot and cold with subtle flavors was perfectly balanced.

The workers were very friendly. Service was quite quick and the miso poke in particular was really good! The cut of the fish was awesome (no tendons or hard to chew pieces which I find a problem at some poke places). A very cute place for a reasonably priced, yummy bite!

Cool little poke-bowl store run by an old Japanese guy! The store and it's prices were great, and so was the service, but I think the poke-bowl could have been flavored better. It was kinda salty, to be honest. The store was pretty empty, so it was a nice, quiet place to relax for a bit before going to the next activity.

This hole in the wall is less than a 10 min walk from the beach and it is bomb dot com.
Ordered the salmon poke with miso sauce and it was definitely one of the best poke I’ve ever had. The 2 types of wakame they used made it really unique and special. The onions gave it a nice bite and the sweet, complex miso sauce tied it all together. Simple, balanced, delicious and very reasonable prices.
Love that it’s run by a sweet Japanese grandpa and that it’s an unassuming little spot on a quiet side street!

We had the Ahi Poke bowl with spicy mayo, the Poke bowl mixed ahi/salmon with miso sauce, the teriyaki ahi steak plate (ahi is seared) and served with fresh cooked vegetables and salad. Also Udon with Tempura Vegetables. All fish was fresh and very flavorful. The Udon was also very good. The sauces were amazing....we kept tasting off each other’s plate. We would order all of these entree’s again but I think my personal favorite was the Ahi steak plate. The owner is such a kind gentleman...made excellent recommendations.

Walked in and didn't have any idea of what a Poke bowl was. Think of it as sushi on rice, although some of the menu is cooked. I ordered their spicy mayo Ahi. Fantastic! I will be trying more of their menu!

The deluxe poke the best I’ve ever had. Ivan was so cool make sure you ask for his karaoke story. After entertaining us with his stories he then serenaded us with his silky voice. This place is a must go!

Had the ahi and salmon bowl. Big tender chunks, delicious. Very reasonable and extremely friendly folks. Wish we had found on our first day instead of our last.

Such a hidden gem in Waikiki! Perfectly located in the middle of bustling shopping and dining district, minutes from the beautiful waikiki beach. High quality food, and reasonablely priced. Many choices to choose from, poke, salads, noodle soups. You can customize how raw/cooked your food, mix and add veggies. Super friendly and helpful staff. Highly recommend!

Love this place. Amazing poke, probably the best I've had and I travel abroad for a living. Owner is super cool, is a rock fan so always has good music playing, will chat with you if you want and just in general the spot is great. Its downstairs and smallish but I promise the food is great. My favorite is the spicy mayo ahi or salmon.

Very quick service, seems like it's a family-run joint. While the fish here was fresh, but I do wish there were more customization options. Nevertheless, if you're looking for a quick and cheap bite to curb your poke craving this is a decent place.

Delicious salmon poke and great price for the portion size (had to bring home leftovers, about 1/3 of my food). Staff is very friendly! Unfortunately it was a little hard to find as the path seemed to lead to a travel agency at first (when entering from Waikiki Shopping Plaza B1F). Check the Oahu coupon books (on the streets around in magazine stands) for a 10% off your order coupon - as of Dec 2017.

Good poke and great prices. The owner let me bring my own beer. The staff, Ivan, is very friendly. He shared where to get craft beer and upcoming events in town to check out.
Good portion, unfortunately I was 2/3 fine when I snapped this photo
