    Spicy poke and ginger shoyu poke bowl.
    Andilee J.

    So fresh! Made to order poke. Mixed up and packaged while we waited. Amazing flavors and quite a selection of options. The owners are the staff; and the service as impeccable. Super helpful and answered all our questions. A quaint shop tucked away; so don't miss this spot. Small interior counter space and a few tables for eating outside. I recommend grab and go to the beach spot of choice for this meal. Highly recommend, especially if you are in the westside.

    Spicy California w/smoke meat

    Food was amazing and service was great. Ordered the crab wonton and spicy California with smoke meat combo so Ono. Aunty at the counter suggested for us to try something different next time we come back & I think I'm going to do exactly that!

    Dave's special
    Tanner C.

    Simply delicious poke. You know when you walk into a place and it is cash only and the menu is on a white board that it is most likely going to be phenomal and at this place that stereotype held true. I got the Dave's special with brown rice/wonton chips and half salmon/ahi. So tasty. Fish tasted like the ocean and the sauce, veggies, masago, etc were all super fresh. Friendly employee and very fairly priced at $15 for a regular with a good portion (I'm a big eater and almost couldn't finish). Just a little hole in the wall joint, but perfect for a post-beach meal.

    Garlic and spicy bowl
    Lindsay W.

    This is the smoothest fish on island. Yes, it is a little pricier, but you pay for quality fish. We enjoy stopping in for the spicy ahi and garlic shoyu ahi bowls and then take them to enjoy at Pokai bay while watching sunset. Parking right in front, walk in and 5 min later, you have a great dinner. It is a small shop with a table outside to sit if needed.

    Ahi & salmon
    Michelle S.

    This spot was... fine. Not terrible, but nothing mind-blowing either. The Hawaiian ahi was kinda mid -- mostly just salty, nothing that really stood out. The shoyu salmon, though, was the highlight and actually tasted pretty good on its own. The staff was super nice

    Love this little hidden gem. If you're ever in Waianae, you must stop at this poke shack. You can eat there or It's right near pokai bay. Poke is mixed to order. They got local style candy mui (candy mixed with preserved lemon) and plate lunch. Braddah in the front is soft spoken, patient, and sweet. He answered all of our questions and sold us on the hawaiian plate. We got the hawaiian plate, 1/4 limu ahi, 1/4 hawaiian salmon on wonton chips, 1/4 furikake salmon on mixed greens and lomi oio. My favorite was the furikake salmon salad. The limu ahi was a bit under seasoned, but still fresh. Hawaiian salmon on chips was still crunchy after our drive. The hawaiian plate was soooooo ono! The haupia is the best haupia I've ever had. It was like pudding! We also ordered lomi oio but they forgot to put it in our bag. We went back the the restaurant after we ate and when I walked in they just handed me the container. The lomi oio was soo so sweet and clean tasting. We stopped at hawaiian chip company on the way back into town and ate it with chips. YUM! There's a counter that seats 6 and a picnic table outside. I recommend picnic at the park around the block. Overall a true hidden gem in Waianae.

    I discovered this place when I moved here last year, after the beach. I honestly think they have the best poke on the island. Every time I'm on that side, I make sure to go there. The staff is very friendly, and although the space is small, it is convenient to order and fast. It is the perfect place to grab poke before heading to the beach.

    First time trying Aloha Poke on 6/19/25. Poke was good. We ordered spicy mayo and furikake flavor with nachos. The nacho chips were ok. The poke was good and fresh. The service was good with friendly staff. The staff who helped us was patient and answered our questions. The place was small but they offered outdoor seating for those who want to eat there. They are located in Waianae.

    Spicy Ahi and spicy Cali (ate a little because I could not wait)
    Candice L.

    Aloha Poke is unassuming and such a gem in Waianae. Stopped off today on the way back from Makaha. The lady at the front was so sweet and very patient. Five star service. I was overwhelmed with the amazing choices. By seeing it from outside, you would never expect that the food is so spectacular. I started off by ordering the laulau which was cooked to perfection and the pork was plentiful. I added on some poke (spicy ahi and spicy cali) which was well seasoned and came in portions of 1/4,1/2, 1lb. Last minute, I had to order the salmon belly and best decision ever! It was the perfect amount of fat, which made it rich and mouthwatering. I came with rice and definitely did not need anything else. The flavor was spectacular and I can see myself getting this anytime I come to Makaha area. Go support this small business! You will not regret it.

    Spicy California

    Best poke on the island. Best service in the world. Can't say enough good things about it

    Best poke i've ever had in my life. Great quality fish, amazing and simple ingredients, and wonderful staff. This spot is a true hidden gem.

    Spicy salmon and ginger ahi poke
    Michael S.

    Divine poke spot on the west side. Not a spot you'll know if you're just here for vacation. If you're here for vacation take the drive here and hit Makua. The owner was an angel and very sweet to us. After the food she's the second reason you'd want to go back All the fish is pre cut and whatever style you want they'll mix fresh in the bowl so mine of it is pre made. It's the melt in your mouth type of fish you want in your poke. Like biting into butter. Head to the west side and grab this gem

    After a day at the beach, this was a refreshing meal selection was light and tasty but very satisfying My husband and I selected Ahi Tuna Hawaiian Style, and my son had Ahi Tuna Ginger Shoyu Style. All had exceptional flavor and taste thoroughly savored.

    What's the difference between the Hawaiian style ahi poke and Ahi Limu poke? TIA.

    I believe that Hawaiian is Hawaiian salt, limu, crushed kukui nut and crushed chili peppers. Limu poke doesn't have the kukui nut and have green onions and sesame seed oil.

    When u purchase a poke bowl do they charge extra for the rice?

    Rice is charge extra at .75 per scoop.

Restaurant address is 86-120 Farrington Hwy, Ste C306, Waianae, HI 96792. Maybe they just changed their restaurant name? I don't know. We decided to try them and see how it is. Upon arrival.... Pros 1) large parking lot. Plenty of parking. 2) lots of other small shops here. I see Long's drugs, Team Mibile, Pizza Hut, etc here, just to name a few. 3) we were the only one there. I see one lady at the cash register. She took our orders. She smiley and nice. 4) we ordered the Special for $18.99. We got chicken katsu cones with rice and 4 sides. We also got the Shrimp Temp Maki for $11.99 + 2 drinks. 5) it's also a mini mart. They have a few other items got sale here too. See pictures. 6) love all the sides I picked. Rice tasted good. Cons 1) I didn't see a bathroom. Maybe I should have asked. 2) shrimp tempura maki roll was not very good. The other person who ate this roll was not very impressed. I tried a piece and it was just ok. I've had better. But we didn't get wasbi and ginger with it. We had to ask for soy sauce. They don't provide it unless you ask. 3) Most of our chicken tempura was over cooked. It was very chewy and hard to eat. There were a few pieces that was not over cooked and still good to eat. We didn't like our plate. But we ate it anyways just because we already paid for it. 4) Conclusion We weren't very impress with this market/restaurant. Foods weren't good. But the cashier lady was nice. Food sides were good. There was only 1 small table and another table that fits 4 people, inside restaurant. They do have a few items for sale. Not going here for food again. But maybe shop for items instead. You may like the foods here better than me/us.

I've tried their sister restaurant lilikoi also hoping for a better experience but I feel they lack quality interactions, servers are slow when coming around and lack experience when it comes to customer experience overall. I had to ask for my water, never got napkins, and was never checked on. My drink was a little strong but it was okay because she fixed it. After giving them three tries, I can't come back. Wouldn't recommend either. Especially being from the westside, I expected more, and gave them grace but was met with the same experience each time without any noticeable improvements. Management needs to work on server training, speed, customer interactions and better experience overall. It's not just the food that will keep someone returning, but how they're treated and its people. Please do better.
