I came to pick up a large order for my family and this was my first time trying anything from here. The restaurant is definitely mostly a pick-up place, although there was one or two tables inside for two or three people to eat. There is a parking lot behind of the building, enter on Houghtailing Street. The cashier was nice when we ordered by phone and when we went in to pick up our order. I ordered the half Ahi and half Spicy Ahi salad with spicy miso dressing. The Spicy Ahi was perhaps the best Spicy Ahi I have ever had. Note: this Spicy Ahi is not messing around and is definitely spicy!!! It was perfect for me, but for others, it may be too spicy, as I've seen in other reviews. It is definitely spicier than a typical Spicy Ahi, so beware. I am coming back to try other things on their menu, get their Spicy Ahi again, and try their other salad dressings because the other dressings sounded good. I took one star off because they did have a slight error in our order... instead of a Poke bowl, they gave another Spicy Ahi bowl. Also, the half order of Ahi sashimi that was in my salad was slightly "fishy." I'm not sure what causes that... I definitely ate it anyway though. read more

I got the Wasabi masago ahi poke and I really enjoy it. The staffs are so nice and friendly. Poke was served in a great amount and also clean. The crab salad is also good. Love this place. read more

Aloha Cones - Masago ahi poke - Sushi Bars Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

I come here for lunch during the weekday since it's walking distance from my job. I've tried the Wasabi masago ahi, Spicy tuna ahi, and Sesame ahi poke bowl. I must say the fish is very fresh and cut in to big cubes. I love the seasoning and flavors they add to the poke, it tastes amazing. Also the fruits, veggies, and crab they include are fresh and tasty. My favorite by far has to be the Sesame ahi poke bowl! There's a perfect amount of onion and sesame oil that doesn't overpower the poke. I recommend trying the sesame ahi! I give them a 5 stars since the customer service has improved greatly and they're still banging out good poke bowls. read more

Aloha Cones - Sesame ahi poke bowl trumps all the other poke bowls on the menu...in my opinion :p - Sushi Bars Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Ho this stuff is fresh! You can just taste it. The salads are all refreshing, each dressing has a nice kick. The salmon salad is deceivingly filling. The wasabi masago poke is one of my favorites, as I do love spicy fish. As was the shoyu ahi. The spicy ahi is also so good. Nice and spicy with a little bit of a sweet kick. What sets this place apart is the freshness! Mo bettah than Foodland for sure! Each item is made so beautifully that you know the chef and owner cares. read more

Love this place! Fresh and delish every time. The service is friendly as well. Highly recommend.

Tasty fresh ahi poke bowl!! Location: It's located in a very rundown area, but a super close walk to a couple of the parks close by which is a plus since the actual restaurant is tiny! What we ordered: Shoyu Ahi Poke (5/5): The ahi was very fresh and well marinated! Their shoyu sauce is super tasty with the rice and the side veggies! This was the only one they had left when we got there (10minutes before closing!! I actually had to knock on the door and call them because I was so determined to try their poke bowls haha ). They also have shaved ice which I'd like to try if I ever visit again!! read more

Aloha Cones - Shoyu Ahi Poke - Sushi Bars Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

I found this place right before departing back to Los Angeles. This place had the best poke I've ate while on vacation in Oahu. It is outside of Waikiki in a very low-key neighborhood. It is definitely a hidden gem. I got a salmon poke bowl with a strawberry soda. I am so excited typing this just remember how flavorful their poke it. The presentation was very simple but appealing. White rice, cucumber with onions and poke. I ordered a mini and got pretty full. Worth every penny! I say yes to this spot! read more

Their sashimi was not very fresh. It was pretty rubbery and disappointing, especially having ordered 7 extra pieces on the side. It was especially disappointing bc the salmon did not actually taste like salmon. It looked like a lower grade fish and definitely had no Damon taste. I gave this a 2 bc I also got the chicken katsu. The katsu was delicious! I wouldn't go there for poke. Visiting from Honolulu where everything is fresh made this place a big no no for me. It was not worth the travel over. Sorry guys. read more

The name surely does fit this place, as you can feel the ALOHA as soon as you walk in! It's a tiny little place on Kinau street just as you get off the freeway going east. They sell all kinds of bowls full of fresh fish and have all kinds of flavors of shave ice that goes perfect with a fresh sashimi bowl on a hot day. The owner Aaron is there often and is always friendly and personable. They just opened up a second location in Pearlridge too! I have yet to check it out, but I'm super happy for them and hope they do well! See you again soon Aloha Cones! read more

You want me to grab poke...in a shave ice place...Wait, is it a shave ice place or a poke place? I'm so confused...Wait...do I dare write this review? It's simple, but what they do, they do really well. They do simple poke in its purest form. Whether shoyu poke, wasabi masago, or spicy ahi is your thing, the flavors are simple. You know what you are going to get and instead of overwhelming the ahi or salmon, they complement the flavors in a careful orchestra that screams out when you have that first bite. They aren't trying to be trendy. They aren't being flashy with a wide array of poke. It's just a humble poke bowl with some beautiful steamed sushi rice topped with your everyday poke. Parking can be a bit of a challenge, but down the small little driveway between the two buildings lies a few stalls. If you happen to be there at the right time, you shouldn't have a problem finding a spot and running in to get your order. Prices are reasonable with most bowls running around $10 and the portions respectable. Phone ahead if you might be in a hurry, but the wait has never been long when I've gone. If the need for lunch strikes and you happen to be in the area, check it out. It is well-worth the visit. read more

Their poke bowls both look and taste good. Was pleasantly surprised at the quality. A little pricey but worth it.

5 star! Always fresh and delicious. My fave is poke bowl. I tried all of them and all are really good . It serve with warm rice crab salad and fresh vegetables. It's a very small place, and very hot inside so usually I just take it for to go. Only one table inside btw. They have a stamp card buy 10 one for free And the best part is, now they open 3 days a week until 6:30pm! read more

Aloha Cones - Now for dinner - Sushi Bars Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Tried for lunch this past weekend. Location is good, and a lot of parking. This is the building where the old Kamehameha bakery was located. They remodeled the whole building and rainbows and gyukaku are also here. Ordered a combo of ahi poke & hamachi sashimi over a bed of salad with a side of 2pc shrimp tempura. Quality & Taste is very good, but kinda pricey. Quantity is lacking, my whole order was $18, the tempura were small and there was about 4 pcs of hamachi. The ahi poke was a fairly decent size serving, but there was a lot of lettuce, cucumber, & tomato. Forgot what I chose, but dressing was really good. Staff was friendly and helpful. Will come again to try other menu items. read more

5 stars for the welcoming family that owns this place! My mom lives across the bridge from here and I remember it used to be called Kinau Superette back in the day.... It was hot the day we visited and we should have had separate orders of shave ice but me and my sister decided to share one instead. They were so nice to split it into 2 bowls. We did not have an appetite to try the sushi but next time we will! Support local! CLOSED on holidays and Sundays. read more

Great food, fast, friendly service. It's a short walk from my office so not sure how the parking situation is. As for the poke I've only tried the sesame poke & spicy ahi so far but my vote goes to the sesame poke. Sooooo good. The house dressing is really good too but a little too sweet for my taste. Gonna try the spicy miso dressing next time. Had the Hamachi/spicy ahi combo today ($10.50). The hamachi was fresh & super delicious, spicy ahi had some kind of sauce (maybe unagi) on it which I'm not really a fan of because it made it sweet. But, still really good. read more

Aloha Cones - Hamachi/Spicy Ahi combo - Sushi Bars Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

This is easily one of the best sashimi bowls I have ever had from a take out poke shop. Both the hamachi and the salmon were extremely fresh. They were no different from the ones I have had from authentic Japanese restaurants...except of course the prices are significantly less. The owners were very nice people. The shop was simple but very clean. Parking was easy. I would definitely go back! read more

Aloha Cones - Hamachi and salmon combo bowl. Amazing value at $12.00! - Sushi Bars Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

This place is walking distance from my work. I've been here a few times and the food is always fresh and good. While they do have a small table inside and a bench out front, it's more of a "To Go" place. They are always busy, so it is wise to call ahead and/or go early. Their menu is very straightforward and they have been very accommodating to my pickiness. The service is very quick. They accept cash and card. They can do group orders, if given enough heads up. Definitely a place to try! read more

These guys are making awesome poke! I sampled all of their flavor profiles and they were all delicious. Their rice is what really made it for me though, perfectly seasoned sushi rice with fresh cucumber and daikon on top- perfection. I'll be back!! read more

One word... WOW! I'm so glad we drove all the way here to come and try the best poke in town. My husband and I are staying in Waikiki and I've been checking the reviews in Yelp to see where the best poke is and read the reviews of Aloha cones and told my husband that we should give this place a try. I am so glad we did. We both got the mini bowls for only $6 each and no tax since we paid cash, they also accept cards but you have to pay tax. My husband got the spicy one and I got the shoyu poke which is on the sweet side. It was divine! The mini bowl is just enough for me and the fish is just so fresh. And yes there's more fish than rice which is always wonderful! Everything was seasoned just right and there is no need to add any soy sauce or whatsoever as it tastes fantastic! We're going back before we leave the island. You owe it to yourself to give this place a try. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! 5 STARS! read more

Aloha Cones - Shot Poke - Sushi Bars Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Aloha cones is one of my favorite go to places for poke. Their poke is always so fresh and taste amazing. I always get their spicy ahi because I love spicy ahi. Their spicy ahi is different from others because it's more spicy and less mayo-y than other places on the island like Ono's. Although both good, it ultimately depends on your preferences because some people prefer more mayo less spice but I on the other hand like all kinds of poke, as long as it tastes good - which this definitely does! Aloha Cones is a different type of poke bowl because their sides are freaking delicious. I live for their crab salad. Their poke bowls give a more fresh and crisp taste that other places don't have. They also have sliced daikon in their poke bowls that add great texture to the meal. If you love poke bowls, this place is a must! Their sides are delicious, poke is fresh, workers are nice, there's literally nothing stopping you but yourself from trying this place! read more

My mini hamachi bowl was the perfect lunch! Sweet, fresh hamachi on rice with imitation crab salad, cucumbers, and, my favorite, shredded daikon. Everything in perfect portions. This was my third visit and it just keeps getting better. read more

Aloha Cones - Sushi Bars Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

The great reviews by fellow Yelpers lead me and a friend to this hole-in-a-wall joint. All the great reviews posted before are are true about this place. I am a spicy ahi lover diner. So i ordered a Spicy Ahi Bowl for $7.35 but i requested to reduce the haps rice in half and substitute it with some romaine lettuce. I'd prefer the brown rice but this joint specializes in sushi and brown rice its not ideal to make sushi. The two girls at the counter were super friendly with pretty smiles. The asked the chef about my request and the chef was more than willing and he catered one of the BEST flavorful Spicy Ahi Bowl - one of my 3 faves so far. He suggested his homemade asian dressing on the side to go with the greens. This bowl stands atop of all I've tried because of the FRESH AHI. This texture of the fish was no doubt a fresh catch. I love the balanced spicy sauce - as one of the reviewers mentioned below - the seaweed crunch, the surprising scoop of crab salad, the fresh crisp chopped tomatoes and cucumbers --- all of these seem to conclude that the chef is quite consistent. I plan to try other items on the menu later. The chef checked with us to see if there's something we needed to change with our food and that is super way of tending to your customers. This place is not quite easy to find if you're not familiar with the area because its at a merge of roads. You can park in the lot behind the building. If you googlemap this or map quest you really ought to slow down when you get near this place because its a one way road. Because its such a small place there is only one half bench-table that can seat 2 and enjoy a meal. I highly recommend this place if you want a great tasting Spicy Ahi Bowl or perhaps any fish item in general. read more

I have been here a few times for lunch during work and have always enjoyed their poke and sushi bowls. Today I had the mini Chirashi Bowl, and it was so good! The salmon, maguro, and hamachi tasted really fresh! My bowl also came with imitation crab, cucumbers, and shredded daikon on a bed of sushi rice. And that is why I always like eating here because of the little extras. Highly recommended! read more

Aloha Cones - California Sushi Poke, Sesame Ahi with tempura - Sushi Bars Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

I wish this place had better hours... I would frequent here even more! Although it's probably not a bad thing... So I can still have savings. This small hole-in-the-wall houses some of the best poke I've had! They're located in that small pink building and have a few stalls in the back. It's best to have take-out here as there aren't any places to sit and eat. The prices for a regular bowl are reasonable at around $9.25 - $10.50. My favorite are the spicy ahi and chirashi bowls. The spicy ahi is the crushed kind, with unagi sauce on top. This is NOT for those who are intimidated by spice... There's a definite kick to each bite. The chirashi comes with three pieces of ahi, two pieces of hamachi, and three pieces of salmon. It also comes with a ginger pesto sauce (akin to the ginger sauce that comes with the Chinese cold chicken dish). Every bowl comes with amazing sides, and they're almost as delicious as the fish! There's tomatoes, cucumbers, a daikon salad, and crab salad. The crab salad is SO GOOD. It's almost like a potato salad but with generous chunks of crab and unagi sauce drizzled on top. I think my siblings enjoyed the crab more than the fish itself. ONO, 10/10 would go back again. Oh, they accept credit cards and have a stamp card! Buy ten bowls and get one free! If you check in on Yelp, you'll receive $1 off a regular sized bowl. read more

I'd probably give this 2.5 stars if half stars were an option. This may come down to what you value the most. Our experience at Aloha Cones was mixed. Prices are surprisingly low, but quality was... okay. My wife had an Unagi bowl, and I had the Chirashi. Both were mediocre. If I had it to do again, I might try something different. The loser pick of the day was the shave ice. It was a bargain on price, but the syrup was far too sweet, and I think the server went too heavy on it (can't believe I'd ever make that complaint, but it's true). Maybe this would improve with a different server? Parking is extremely limited and seating space inside the shop is 2-3 people. Not a place to go on a rainy day unless you have a dry place to eat. I'd try this place again because, yes, I'm that thrifty and I'm easily seduced by low prices. But so far, the jury is still out. read more

I've been meaning to try this place out. I've heard nothing but good feedback. I'm always driving by and I keep telling myself..One day I will try you. And today was the day - lucky for me since my manager offered to drive out and pick-up lunch. It's a little hard to get to if you don't know where the area. You can't miss it though-it's a small pink building that says Shiga-licious with a shave ice cone right on the front of the building. When I looked it up through Yelp, I was planning on calling in my order, but I noticed you're able to place a take-out order through the app itself. That was a plus! So my manager gave it sometime before leaving to pick-up our lunch. Just thinking about it, my mouth started to water. As soon as he got there, the front person mentioned that they have not yet gotten to the online orders just yet, but since he was there they waiting they went ahead and prepped our order. It was mentioned to me that it was busy when he arrived (and I wouldn't doubt it - I've seen people waiting) What we ordered: 1x Mini Chirashi Sushi Bowl + Avocado (must have with) $7.50 1x Regular Chirashi Sushi Bowl + Avocado $10.75 to add avocado is $1 Everything in the bowl was ahhhhmazing. I have no idea what took me so long to try this place out. Now that postmates delivers, I'm sure I'll be having more soon. read more

Aloha Cones - Spicy shoyu poke bowl - Sushi Bars Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

So far I've tried the chirashi, spicy tuna, and shoyu poke bowls. The shoyu poke bowl is my favorite so far, since I like the slightly sweet sauce, but they all have one important thing in common: fresh fish! The crab salad, cucumber, and tomato are a definite bonus. The sushi rice is good, too, warm but not hot. I just read another reviewer's note that you can get combo bowls, so I'll do that on my next visit, hopefully this week! And topped off with an Orange Bang, of course! read more

This review can be summarized in a short sentence: fresh sashimi and a good price! I highly recommend the chiraishi sushi. For $10, u can get a bowl of fresh sushi and please note that the quality of the fish is top grade! Not too many places in Hawaii can deliver that! Keep in mind this is not a restaurant, think of it as a shave ice stand with couple benches to sit outside. It is best to grab and go! read more

I've been wanting to check this place for myself. My sis bought a poke bowl a while back and told me they were pretty good. Atmosphere: The small pink building is right off Kinau close to Queens. Parking is hard to find but worth it to come. Inside its like a small mom and pops store. Service: Very friendly , but store is centered around self service. Grab and go. Food: Poke bowls are a solid choice here as well as the musubi. If you want shaved ice its also available. I had the shoyu poke bowl the fresh veggies and poke were spot on. Intangibles: Hole in the wall place. Make sure you check it out before it gets too popular! read more

This place is one of those genuine hole in the wall places. Couldn't even see the "Aloha Cones" sign that well, so it could be somewhat difficult to find. The parking is horrible here, but the food is soooo good!!! Parking is in a VERY small complex. I would reverse into the parking area because it's gonna be very difficult to reverse out of your stall when you're going out. Anyways, so I got the mini spicy ahi sushi mix. The mini is just enough to make me full and it was very tasty! Comes with spicy ahi, cucumber, natto, imitation crab, tomato, jalapeños, and rice at the bottom. Worth the $6! Gonna try the salmon sushi mix next time! read more

Aloha Cones - Spicy ahi sushi mix! - Sushi Bars Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

I've only had the Chirashi Sushi Bowl here, and it's perfect on a hot day when you want a chirashi bowl for lunch to go! For $10.75 (for the regular size, mini size is $7.50) you get a bowl of sushi rice with several slices of fresh ahi tuna, salmon and hamachi sashimi with crisp cucumbers, sliced daikon and a nice scoop of their yummy crab salad. I love their chirashi bowls because it's seriously the whole package. To me, the sushi rice is made perfectly (not soggy, not too vinegary and not too sweet..it's just right!), the fish is fresh (and they're generous with the cuts for the price), the cucumber and daikon are always fresh and the crab salad rounds it out perfectly. For people that like to have a lot of variety in their dishes when they eat, I recommend you try their chirashi bowl. The only thing that I find difficult is getting in here to pick up my food, as Aloha Cones is located in a shop next to the freeway exit, so there's constantly lots of cars and it's difficult to find parking. It helps to have someone drop you off from their car and then circle around to pick you up. Also, if it's difficult to call in (since they're so busy), I sometimes order and pay with the Yelp app and my food is always made quickly and is always ready in less than 10 minutes. Haven't tried their other items yet (or the ginger pesto you can get with the chirashi bowl.. shoyu and wasabi for me please!) but I've heard their maguro sashimi salad and hamachi sashimi salad are also great! read more
