2 choice tuna poke!
Narei K.

Oh my goshhhhh! We came back and were so satisfied!! The poke is so fresh and the seasoning is so good! We got the yuzu pepper which was and the shoyu seasoning! It was only $23! And I saw only because poke for lesser quality in WA is about 30! The owner was so kind!

Their salmon poke is pretty good and fresh. Although I preferred the rice to be on the cooler side (temperature) because their was hot white rice (not vinegared).

Yuzu Salmon Poke

Five Star is a quaint yet tasty food truck located in Waikiki. There's not much parking nearby so walking would probably be your best bet. We got the salmon yuzu poke and it was really yummy and tangy! The only complaint is the amount of rice doesn't complement the little amount of protein you get. Regardless, extremely tasty! Would recommend visiting.

Five Star Poke is located in the heart of Waikiki in a small lot of food trucks. They offer different kinds of poke in different sizes: regular (1 scoop of fish), combo (2 scoops), and large (3 scoops). We ordered the combo ($17.95) and for our two scoops of fish we got the ginger scallion miso ahi and ginger scallion miso salmon. I've never had ginger scallion in poke before so I wanted to try it out. They definitely had strong flavors of ginger and scallion which was unique and weird at first but tasty. Also, the fish was very fresh and so soft! If you're staying in the area I'd definitely stop by to try a kind of poke you don't see often.

They got me. It's five stars. It's a small food truck toward the back of a turf plaza, but don't let that fool you. With fresh fish and unique sauce combinations, you'll be able to get the amazing classics and some more intriguing, boutique flavors. I got a large bowl (free seaweed salad!) with garlic shoyu seared salmon and yuzu citrus chili pepper ahi. The tanginess of the yuzu was a neat twist on classic poke sauces (unfortunately a smidge sour for my taste), but the seared salmon was super tasty and really emphasized the quality of the fish. The tuna was also equally as fresh. Really happy that I stumbled over this food truck :)

This place is convenient for tourists staying in Waikiki as it's walking distance to a lot of hotels. It's a food truck located on a lot with about 4-5 other establishments so there's a small seating area. There's not much parking nearby so I just had my bf drop me off while he waited on the side street. I ordered the 3 choice poke with spicy mayo ahi, fresh jalapeño salmon, and yuzu citrus chili pepper. The ahi was fresh but I wasn't really impressed with the flavors of the poke. The spicy mayo was decent, you can't really go wrong with that. I wouldn't recommend the fresh jalapeño salmon there seems to be no seasoning on it besides the diced jalapeño so it was very bland. The yuzu citrus chili flavor was tasty but very mild. Either it wasn't mixed well or they didn't use enough sauce. I wouldn't recommend coming during peak hours. The employee was really nice and friendly but she was the only one working. I ordered 3 bowls and it took about 10-15 min because she had to stop to take orders since a line formed while she was prepping. I'd come again to try other flavors if I'm ever in the area but I wouldn't drive out just for it.

Yummy poke in a cute food truck area. Fish was fresh and tasty. I wish we could've gotten more toppings/been able to pick them.

Such a fun little food spot right by Waikiki. It's an outdoor area with four different food huts, and the first challenge is just choosing which one to try because everything smells amazing. There are picnic tables in the middle, and each hut has bright, colorful painted siding that gives the whole place a cool, laid-back vibe. Bonus: if you're lucky, you'll make friends with the birds. They're very friendly... maybe too friendly, so keep an eye on your food. I went with the poke and it was excellent. The flavors tasted fresh and real--especially the ginger, which had an authentic punch. And the seaweed salad surprised me too..I usually find it bland, but this one was actually really tasty and complemented the bowl well. Great stop, great atmosphere, and I'd absolutely come back to try the other huts next time.

care and aloha service for my to go order

Poke truck in a cluster of other trucks on kapuni but there's ample bench seating everywhere! Flavors make local style so that was appreciated! Did i mention the cute takeout box art?

I appreciated the quality of the fresh fish and the complexity and generous serving of marinade so it soaked in the the rice. The rice portion was generous as well and served steaming hot.

Poke from a truck in Hawaii? Yeah I'm game. Walked from the hotel to this cute little food truck square one night for dinner. Out of all the options, Five Star Poke looked the most interesting. We might've been early for dinner? They were still cooking rice (might have just ran out of the last batch) and asked if we were okay to wait. They have many flavors of poke-- staff is friendly and even walked us through all the options so we could make the best decision. We ended up getting both salmon and tuna. They even gave us a free drink on the house for the wait. Poke was absolutely delicious. The fish was fresh, fish to rice ratio was 5/5, and portion size was healthy. Would come here again for poke when we're on the island.

Guy was rude

The guy working the food truck could have been more helpful in explaining the dishes since I have never had this kind of food. He did not seem to care. So I ordered whatever and ended up not really liking it. If you're going to have someone up in the front of a business, they should be able to explain the dishes to newbies.

Right around the corner from Maguro which always has a huge line. So for no line you can enjoy really fresh yummy poke. There's a few other food trucks in this area with picnic tables in the middle. I got the small size cuz we were ordering a few things from other trucks too and so I was able to get 2 kinds of fish. Both tunas i got were really yummy. The shoyu was the classic poke flavour and the yuzu was very citrusy and refreshing. I got guac add on because they were very much hyping it up and honestly it was a good addition.

We got the two selection combo, which we shared, but honestly I could've eaten this whole thing on my own no problem. The ahi tasted super fresh and since we got there right when they opened, it was even better. They have a small parking lot with just a handful of spots. Getting there early, parking wasn't a problem at all. They have some tables outside so we were able to eat it there before taking off for the airport. Definitely more of a takeout spot. We didn't spend much time in the area, so it was the last meal we had before taking off to the airport and I couldn't think of a better meal to end an amazing trip. If I was staying nearby, I definitely would've come here more than once!

However, the flavors were balanced, and the freshness was evident from the non-slimy texture and meatiness of the ahi. The salad was a refreshing complement to the poke. The optional toppings (I said yes to all) added more crunch and flavor without overwhelming the star of the dish, aka the lovely tuna. The shop seemed tiny. You order at the front door/window where you can see the menu and the display case of the very few poke options offered. Staff worked quickly, as my order was basically ready after paying. Only outdoor seating directly in front of the shop was provided, but luckily we beat the lunch rush and got two tables for our group. Everyone enjoyed what they ordered. I'd definitely come back for the poke. Location was in a quiet part of Honolulu that seemed to have some small-town vibes. We parked in the free lot across the street where the McD's was.

I just wished there was a bit more white onion for crunch, but it was good regardless. The Fish and Chips were really good. The fish was super crispy, the meat was firm, and the fries were nicely fried. The tartar sauce or maybe more of a lemony aioli, was the star. It wasn't your usual tartar sauce; it had a homemade lemony sweetness that made it delicious. My only complaint was that the batter came off the fish pretty easily, which made it a bit tricky to eat at times.
