With that said, this place is truly a hidden gem! They close at 3:00 (so keep that in mind). The poke was so fresh and the texture was perfect...almost like a fresh gummy bear! Lol We had the cali-style poke with spicy mayo & avocado and the sweet Maui onion poke -- both were deliciously perfect! My husband had the 2 item combo with kalua pork and poke adobo; both were very tasty -- the pork adobo was nice and tender and not too salty (just right). The service was friendly and fairly quick. There are a few picnic benches nearby, other than that this is not a dine-in location -- strictly to-go. Highly recommend and will definitely come back next time we're on the island!

My husband got the tofu musubi, which came with a really tasty peanut sauce that paired so well with it. The setup is also really cute and aesthetic, with a good amount of seating and umbrellas for shade, making it a great place to hang out and enjoy your food. It's definitely picture-worthy. Another plus is the location; there's plenty of street parking, and it's surrounded by other great foodie spots, so it's perfect for a little food crawl. They also sell cute merch, which I couldn't resist; I picked up a sticker for my journal! The staff were friendly and welcoming, which made the whole experience even better. If you love musubi or just want a cute, casual food spot, this place is a must-try. We'll definitely be back!

There are no blinking lights or frills, just a blue menu taped to the truck and an open window. There was no line when I arrived. The gentleman who helped me was pleasant and helpful. I ordered the fish and chips, an extra tartar sauce, a can of passion orange juice and a side of the homemade habanero sauce. By the time I was done ordering and paying, an impressive line of tourists had formed behind me. I made use of the hand sanitizer and went to sit and wait. There are picnic benches across from the truck with ample seating. The area is kept clean. The sun was shining bright and a the breeze from the ocean was extremely relaxing. My food took about 10 minutes, he walked the food out personally instead of screaming from the window which I appreciated. I took the food and drink back to my car so I could listen to my book while I ate my lunch. The plate contained 5 battered and fried pieces of fish (mahi?) Andy who they were seasoned, crispy and golden brown, served over a large portion of crisp French fries. 2 tartar sauces, a ketchup and the anticipated habanero hot sauce. The fish was moist and flaky on the inside and tasted fresh. Absolutely delicious. The hot sauce.... The homemade habanero sauce should be bottled and sold. It starts off mild to allow your food to shine on its own then creeps in with the perfect amount of heat. Paired with the tartar sauce or ketchup (I alternated every bite) changed the profile in a way that no hot sauce I've ever eaten has allowed. There was no cloying aftertaste, no overpowering vinegar scent, the heat was not intense, but it was there in the background complimenting everything it touched. I am in Kauai several times a month and will definitely keep Tony's Catch in the rotation.

This food truck had some of the best fish and chips that we've had in a long time. The fish was fresh and the fries were crispy. The hand made tartar sauce was delicious. Plenty of tables with umbrellas are available. The food truck is right next to the beach. There are other food trucks nearby, but this was the one that was the most popular. The service was great - friendly and fast!

The shrimp rolls were packed with flavor and accompanied by a salty and spicy wasabi soy dipping sauce that really elevated the dish. While the fried chicken was great, it was overshadowed for me by the quality of the other dishes we tried there. The staff were extremely friendly and answered our questions and made us feel very welcome. The interior is nothing fancy and there is no on site seating, but there are plenty of great places to eat nearby. We took our meal a block down to Kauai Fruit Company (where we bought several truly amazing containers of fruit to accompany our meal) and sat at their picnic tables.

In addition to poke are other pickled selections of seafood. The local and fresh caught poke are all full flavored. When it comes to favorites the husband and I found ourselves enjoying every bite of the spicy ahi and shoyu ahi. The texture and cuts of the fish make all the difference.
