Fort Ruger Market

The best poke on Oahu! And the crispy pork is incredible too! I just wish they had some tables outside or something to sit and enjoy right away. The small park under Diamond Head makes an alright substitute. The Ruger special was the very best and then Rugerlicious were the best two. The spicy salmon was really spicy and great! Also we tried a spam musubi and the seasoning in the rice was awesome. I'd say buy poke by the pound and get a musubi for the seasoned rice if you want to take away a lunch that will knock your socks off!

Extremely high quality fresh poke is served here. I’m so happy out of the many great poke options a local suggested I come here. There were only a few poke options left when I got here near closing time, but the two that I chose were both fantastic. I believe I got the spicy ahi and another ahi option. Both were outstanding! I also got the lau lau which is my favorite Hawaiian dish, and it was easily the best one that I had during this trip! The poke was a bit on the pricier end, but I thought that they also gave a very large portion. The spot doesn’t have much of a vibe and it’s a take out place; but You really can’t find fresher fish than this. I strongly recommend you add this spot to your list 🐟.

This place was great! It looked like they had raised their prices a lot very recently so it was $24 each for our bowls, but they really loaded them up. I told them this was my first time getting poke in Hawaii so the guy was kind enough to let me try a piece of each fish. Ended up getting the miso marlin and the wasabi ahi and both were an absolute delight. My husband does not eat fish but he also ended up getting an ahi bowl and enjoyed it too. We got the lechon, kimchi, and macaroni salad to go with our bowls, everything was fantastic. I opted for the Bundaberg ginger ale because I figured ginger would complement the wasabi ahi and I was RIGHT. Definitely one of my favorite meals of the week (and maybe my year tbh)

This is an absolute must to place on your VISIT REGULARLY list. The poke bowls are awesome; they use fresh fish. And whatever has been previously frozen, the sign will let you know. You can have lechon with your poke bowl! What??!! That’s what caught my eye to visit. And you must try their chicharron. It is the best I’ve had ever - comes in 3 sizes. I don’t why - large is the only one you should get! Service is so friendly. The team behind the counter prepping your order and in the kitchen are friendly and ready to answer your questions. Only 8 people customers allowed in the store due to COVID-19 regulations, but just wait patiently - it’ll be worth every bite! Support this local business. They are awesome in service and their meals!
