Hubby Lunch from @Aloha Cones today. Looks like a Poke Bowl to me??  Heehee!  He says that it tasted good too.
Tami C.

Aloha Ahiahi, from Hawai'i Nei :) \000/..... Yikes, it's sure been awhile since I've writen any Reviews here on Yelp?!?!?..... Welp, for this place @Aloha Cones, located right on *School St.*, which is very close to where we live & my Hubby is the one who will Usually head out on his days off & pick us up our Lunch Grindz!!! Mahalo Nui, always to my Husband David :) I know exactly where this Eatery is located & I've driven by here tons of times, I just never stopped on by, knowing that my Husband will drop on by here, especially he knows that I enjoy my *Shrimp Tempura*, etc. I don't, I repeat that I don't eat NO "Raw Fish!" @all, no "thank you", I've tried it before *Sashimi*, once before when my late Dad :(, insisted on me trying "Raw Fish", probably because my Dad was an avid Fisherman & he really wanted me to try his Fresh Sashimi, that he & his very good Male Friend & my Dad probably Caught & was excited, knowing that my Mom & my Sister Randi enjoys eating the Sashimi my Dad always would Cut the fresh fish for them @The (*Sumida Farm* = My late Dad :(, was a very Active member for the *The Aiea Boat Club*), So, I'm guessing my late Dad assumed that I would enjoy his *Sashimi* & A'ole, I hated it & spit it out (lol!) A long time ago!!, my one & only time I've tried any Sashimi in my life, yuck I say!!! Lol! It's just not for me, period!! I feel it's an acquired thing, & I just don't like it!! The reason while I'm mentioning about "Raw Fish" is because this place, @Aloha Cones does serve "Raw Fish", which my Husband will order a Bowl of it & then he'll always Order, my Favorite "Shrimp Tempura" bowl w/lots of rice (yikes!), & my nice bowl of "Shrimp Tempura" meal also comes w/Fresh Avocados, A Scoop of *Imitation Crab* = (I really enjoy this food Feature!!), Cucumbers, Sprouts, Lima Beans, etc & more fillers of Cruchy goodness, which I always enjoy every bite of my meal, all the many, many times when my Husband has picked up my "Tempura Bowl" meal of yumminess!! The price for my Ono "Tempura Bowl" is if I'm correct is, $15.00+ tax, etc. I always enjoy this treat & guess what, again, I haven't stepped foot in this place yet?? (lol!), but when I do put in my Order, the Sweet Nice Lady that Usually answers the phone, is always pleasant to talk too!! My Husband David mentioned to me that this Place @Aloha Cones may be a "Ohana" Business, not 100% sure, because I've never been here yet???? Lol! I'm sure I'll come & sit down one day here in the Future @Aloha Cones & take a few more photos for my pge here on Yelp!! A definitely 5***** place to eat at, I mean honestly, their *Shrimp Tempura* isn't the biggest "Shrimp Tempura" bowl meal, but I surely enjoy it, ooh yeah, they do put this nice *Sauce* on my Shrimp Tempura, I'm thinking it could maybe be, some Unagi Sauce, Maybe??, && I don't even eat Eel either?? Go figure!! Hahaha..... Lastly, I did try their *Karaage Chicken* a few times & I enjoyed it!! But, I mostly enjoy my "Shrimp Tempura" bowl meal, which always includes (2 pieces) of Shrimp Tempura, YUM!! Aloha, from Hawai'i Nei :) Cheers! P.S. - I forgot to also mention that this Eatery @Aloha Cones is located very near "Rainbow Drive In", which Rainbow Drive In is right around the Corner at the end of this Eatery on *School St.*.

Got a special off their instagram page for some delicious sashimi grade shoyu ahi and sesame ahi poke, and it really was delicious and fresh! I mostly ate it with white rice for a make my own poke bowl, but I also added a side of poke chips for $5 for some variety, and it was incredibly light and tasty. I can't wait to return!

Best poke I've ever had! The woman at the counter was so friendly. I added extra salmon - the fish was incredibly fresh. It's a small place, but the atmosphere is very warm and welcoming

Dragon bowl $18.95 dec 2024

College kid is arriving back home for Christmas and he begs me to have a poke bowl in the car as soon as I pick him up and he doesnt want supermarket stuff...Aloha Cones to the rescue they are open on Sunday till 4pm. The dragon bowl ($18.95) is delicious! Shrimp tempura, spicy ahi, sushi rice, unagi sauce, ocean salad, crab salad, cucumber. It's one of our favorite poke places. The price is a little steep but overall poke prices in hawaii have gone up. They have ample parking behind the shop. You can dine in on the counter or take out. Efficient friendly service and it's one of the few places that makes that delicious Sushi cake. I haven't gotten one yet but plan to for a special occasion. My kids gonna be a happy camper with this dragon bowl!

Ahi poke, spicy tuna and Ora King Salmon

The food was good, the fish was cut well and was fresh. The service was great and they made us feel at home. The ambiance was small town with locals dropping in for lunch. The location it self is bar seating. Portions were generous and its a no frill poke bowl but all the ingredients were on point. Their specialty was the Ora King Salmon, I highly recommend getting this it was delicious.

Sushi Cake

What a fantastic Mother's Day gift! My Son and Daughter-in-law are always coming up with great gifts to bestow on me for birthdays, Christmas and Mother's Day. This particular surprise was dropped off on Saturday and was absolutely gorgeous to look at. It's hard to tell how much that delightful sushi-cake weighed but it was heavy. I wish I had taken more pictures but once we started cutting into it I was just wanting to savor every bite. The roses on top were Ahi, Salmon and Hamachi with Ikura and small slices of sashimi in between and edible flowers to brighten it up. The inside was layered with crab salad, avocado thinly sliced cucumber tasting like a California roll and spicy tuna underneath that. The sides were sprinkled with toasted sesame seeds. Actually loved the rice as it wasn't sweet and perfectly soft. A perfect gift idea or a shared pot luck or just served with sake for a friends evening. It's a winner! Business is located on School Street where the old Kam Bakery used to be. Shared parking lot and the owner is very helpful. It came with containers of wasabi, sliced ginger and ponzu sauce. Shoyu was offered but we have plenty at honey.

2 Choice Combo - wasabi masago ahi poke and hamachi sashimi
Sheila A.

The food was delicious, the fish tasted fresh and I'll say the presentation is picture perfect. I guess the only downside was just the nature of everything being in a bowl because I couldn't get to the rice, I had to keep shifting all the fish, cucumber slices, and shredded daikon that sat on top around so I could get to the rice. My friend and I got there when it opened so needless to say we were served very quickly and there was lots of space for us to sit down. What was very nice is we didn't feel rushed to get out of the place after we finished eating as my friend and I were also catching up with each other while we ate. The eating area is pretty much just counter space, which was clean and there was a sufficient amount of space between each bar stool so if the place was completely full, I wouldn't have felt crowded in my seat. I guess it might be because my friend and I are both short, but I felt a little bit like a child as the bowl of food sat only a few inches below my chin because of how high the countertop was relative to the height of the bar stools.

Poke nachos
Stacy S.

I love poke nachos but I have yet to find a place in east Honolulu that makes them, so I did a quick search on my handy dandy Yelp app and Aloha Cones popped up! Although they are about 25 min away, the photos of their poke nachos looked yummy enough to give it a try. I called my order in and by the time I got there, it was ready. The lady at the counter was very friendly and I assumed she was the owner. There was only one other person there - the cook. This is a hole-in-the-wall in Kalihi, with a few parking spots in the back of their eatery. For landmark purposes, they're right next to Rainbow Drive Inn. The poke nachos are usually spicy but I asked for a non-spicy version with shoyu ahi, which they gladly created for me. I got the nachos to go and by the time I got home and popped the lid, I was surprised how much they could fit in that box! The poke was very fresh and sliced appropriately. It came with seasoned poke over chips, drizzled with unagi and aioli sauce, topped with tomatoes, white and green onions. They also had a scoop of crab on top. The reason for the 4 stars instead of 5 is because of the wonton chips. I prefer mine on the super crispy side and these were not. They were good, but I've had better. The price was $17.95 + tax which is very reasonable given the amount that they serve. I could make two meals out of it. It's definitely worth checking out and supporting this small business!

Dragon Bowl

Delicious fresh Poke!!!! Our family stopped by here on our way from the airport to our hotel and it was delicious!!!! The staff is very friendly. The location is small, and they don't have tables but a counter with stools. I was traveling with my family (a group of 7), and no one was inside, so we were able to sit and eat there. Yelp reports this business is close on Sundays but they are open on Sundays now. Now let me tell you about the Poke. This is probably one of the best pokes I've ever had! It is fresh, and the flavor is perfect in every bite. The rice is also perfect which makes the bowls even better. I had the Dragon Bowl 5/5, which comes with shrimp tempura, spicy tuna, cucumbers, crab meat, and some other items, and it was exactly what I was hoping for! Several of us had that bowl, and we all agreed it was the best! We also tried the Poke Nachos 5/5, and they were also really good! Everything is prepped fresh when you get there, so the chips for the nachos were fried after we ordered. This is a must try location in Hawaii!

Sushi Cake
Jordan K.

If you're looking for the best Sushi bowl in the world you need to come here! They use fresh fish straight from the auction every day and they prepare their bowls very differently from other typical poke bowls. Their Sushi bowls are very fresh and cannot be compared to any other place to be quite honest. You ever go home after eating somewhere and then think about the place and crave it again ? Yeah that's this place! Just writing this review has me wanting to go back tomorrow! On special occasions to be different I do order their sushi cake which comes with the layers of spicy ahi and crab in the middle and then topped with their fresh sashimi selection of the day and topped with Ikura and edible flowers! This cake always impresses whatever party I am going to or any person that I'm gifting it to! They do not disappoint!

Today I got to taste the Spicy Tuna Poke for $17.75 and they gave a very large portion and it was fresh and good taste to the last bite. Also, the cook/server was very helpful and friendly.

Poke Nachos...yummerz!!
Lori J.

Their poke nachos is the bomb...ahhhh! I've eaten here several times and this is definitely my go to lunch plate. I crave this stuff :)

heart cake
Christina Q.

Aloha, Aloha Cones! :) Ordered a sushi cake for my birthday and I audibly gasped seeing it for the first time. It was perfect. The glitter on the sashimi, the little pink flowers, the layered cucumber and fish underneath -- the attention to detail was apparent on every aspect of this cake. While ordering, the lady I was speaking to was the sweetest and so patient, I had such a great experience! Thank you for the beautiful cake to accompany me on my special day. I must say it was quite difficult to take apart this lovely piece of art.

Ask the Community - Aloha Cones

Do they do sushi cakes still?

Yaassss!! I'd make the order at least a week in advance. Customer service was very responsive and nice!!

Do they have seating?

No, they have a narrow counter that lines the walls but you have to stand and eat in a narrow space. Best to do takeout and eat somewhere more scenic, like a nearby park.

Are they still open for business?

They are still on business. I went there twice recently. Both tasty. Their phone did not work both time for different reason.

Oh well! There was a small line around lunch time. I ordered the Signature Medium bowl since I was afraid that making my own bowl and picking the toppings would quickly add up. I do wish more of the pre-set bowls weren't spicy.The guy manning the register was funny and friendly. He gave me an order number and I waited outside about 5 minutes. I don't get poke very often but I was blown away by how fresh and buttery the fish was. The salmon was my favorite out of the raw fish- I found the tuna to be a bit firm for my liking. It was my first time having marlin and I found it pretty good. The shrimp was good. I don't remember the sauce that was in there but it complemented the fish nicely and didn't make everything salty. All in all, everything was quite well balanced in tadte though I do wish there was more poke to rice ratio. I thought the price was fair. I would come back the next time I'm in Oahu!

It's 100% worth the wait! The place itself is very simple and nothing fancy. If someone hadn't recommended it to me, I probably would have walked right past it without giving it a second thought. And wow, what a mistake that would have been! The fish was incredibly fresh, the flavors were amazing, and the creamy sesame sauce was just WOW! And the prices? Surprisingly reasonable, especially considering how expensive everything in Hawaii can be! Amazing quality for the price. I'm not even exaggerating when I say I would fly back to Honolulu just to eat these poke bowls again! An absolute must-try when you're in Hawaii!

There was plenty of seating outside which was a good sign. We got the king salmon donburi and I love that the salmon was very fresh and tender so it was high quality.

With the change in times, it can be difficult to find an auction fresh fish market. Nico's Fish…read moreMarket is as good as it gets. How can they not be? Not only are they located right next door to the auction house, their adjoining restaurant serves up some great offerings which insures that product is constantly circulating. Though poke shops on Oahu have become plentiful, the quality of the poke at Nico's stands out. The texture of their fish is solid and firm with zero odor which is exactly how fresh caught fish should always be. I've tried some of the other poke shops around in hopes of replacing an OG fish market that closed and another that changed ownership to a newer generation of family members. Unfortunately, the results at these other places were disappointing, because either the poke was too slimy, too salty or contained chili pepper flakes. So here's the best news about Nico's Fish Market. While inquiring with a newer employee who didn't know much about their poke ingredients to answer accurately, a senior staff member, who clearly knows and cares about the job she's doing, overheard and interjected that ANY POKE BY THE POUND CAN BE CUSTOM MADE TO ORDER!!! Because of her kindness as well as the ever important quality of their fish, Nico's Fish Market is now our #1 go-to spot. Plus, their prices are reasonable compared to the inflated prices of their lesser competitors on Oahu.

Great food and generous portions. Got the furikake ahi and fried ahi belly. Both were yummy…read more There was live music but a bit loud so we found seats a bit farther away. There is also a shop next door to bring home goodies. Definitely need to come back to try more. Lots of parking.

All things considered I'm going to go out on a limb from most other reviewers and go 4.4 stars. 5 stars for my non-expert opinion on the Musubi but the ball and poke bowl were not 5-star worthy and the fact it's a hole in the wall doesn't earn bonus stars in my book.
