Came here because Off the Hook had a long line and we had a booked excursion at Sandbar. I mean, I'm glad we came here but I'm giving this place all of the credit possible because of the employees, they are so kind, helpful and even gave samples of poke to help us decide what to get. The poke is served by the pound and I spent a good $60 for 3 kinds of poke, seaweed salad and picked onions. The pickled onions were really good though! I guess in essence, this place is pricier than others and isn't anything special. Sorry. read more

Fresh Catch - Hawaiian Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Service was very friendly! They have a great selection of fresh fish. My favorite would be the salmon! It has very good flavor and the fish just melts. I also had to get a scoop of rice to balance it. Firecracker tuna was a bit spicy, and not as good as the salmon. read more

Basing this review on 2 types of poke: Shoyu salmon and old fashion. The fish was fresh and delicious, especially the old fashion/traditional one with just limu. I tried a few pieces of the shoyu salmon and while it was very fresh and the fish was tasty, I didn't care much for the pairing of salmon with the shoyu sauce. I like that better with ahi but that's my opinion. Service was quick, the parking lot sucks (seeing a pattern here, anyone?), and we will be back to try the other poke types they have! read more

My friends suggested Fresh Catch and their Ahi Katsu for lunch. I don't usually like fish, but I really liked the Ahi Katsu! The mayo and furikake come in separate containers, keeping the fish crispy. This was my first time trying Fresh Catch, but I remember seeing the blue building on Waialae before. They moved near the freeway at the corner of Kapahulu and Harding. There was no parking at first, but after driving around the block, a few stalls opened up. I believe they are take out only, so the stalls should open up quickly. read more

Visiting Oahu from So Cal and took a 10 min drive from our hotel in Waikiki. Great quality fish and super friendly staff. Here's our take. -Ahi Limu Poke-so simple, so fresh deep red cubes of tuna perfectly seasoned. -Salmon Poke-tasty, just a bit too sweet for our preference. -Ahi Furikake -5 stars, amazing crust that my daughter ate straight without any sauce or rice. It's sooo good! -Salmon Teriyaki Belly-good size portions( 3 pieces) , light light crisp crust. Check this local place out, think you will really enjoy like we did! read more

Location: There's some parking, and it's not too far from Leonard's bakery if you want some dessert. Spicy ahi katsu: so gooooooood. The sauce is amazing. Crunchy and not overcooked. 5/5 Lechon Ahi belly: would not order again. Salty and overcooked. It may have been just ours though as I see other reviews saying it's quite good. read more

Finally had the chance to try their ahi katsu. Also ordered some poke. Poke was good, I think I liked it better than the katsu. Katsu wasn't what I expected but it wasn't bad. It's a small place with no tables to dine in so you'll have to take your food to go. We ordered inside and then they asked us to wait for the food outside by the small window. We enjoyed our poke at the beach. read more

One of the best poke I have had in a while! Service is somewhat confusing if it's your first time. If you go anytime after 3 pm, they are out of a lot of things and their case looks pretty empty. Some of the signs aren't place and it just seems like they are all the same flavor. However, the staff was really nice and helped answer any question. Salmon bone plate was the star of the show. You give rice with it and lots of salmon bones and pieces of the salmon collar. Lightly fried until perfectly cooked. Their rice is a little inconsistent tho. One day it is perfectly cooked and another day it is undercooked to the point where it ruined the poke experience! I wouldn't hold it against them since the quality and flavor of their poke is AMAZING! Can't want to go back and try their other items. read more

the best poke i've had in my life so far. very fair pricing for the portion + quality of fish. the spicy shoyu literally had me levitating, and the spicy hawaiian + spicy salmon were also solid as well. they have many options and the staff were kind and so friendly! this was the perfect meal to eat by the ocean, and i will be revisiting this to-go only location many many times. read more

Besides my bucket list item of honoring and paying respect to the thousands of brave and courageous military servicemembers who made the ultimate sacrifice defending Pearl Harbor, my other goal while visiting Oahu was to get my grub on. I knew Hawaii was paradise, but I didn't know how much of a foodie paradise it was in Oahu. Poke was one of the food items we wanted to chow down on and our first experience with poke was at a restaurant recommended by my daughter's boss. It's also a Guy Fieri Diners Drive-ins and Dives (DDD) stop. We enjoyed our first experience with poke at Fresh Catch. We were hungry after our ultra fun excursion to Kualoa Ranch, so we looked at the desired restaurant list that my daughter put together and decide upon Fresh Catch. Fresh Catch was recommended as one of the best poke my daughter's boss has ever tried. Since it was also featured on the foodie tv show DDD, we were looking forward to trying poke for the first time since we arrived in Oahu. Fresh Catch is located next to an freeway underpass of Interstate H1 just down the road from the famous Leonard's Bakery. I believe the location we visited was the new location and not the one shown on DDD. I was bummed that Fresh Catch is take out only. There are no seating inside the restaurant. The decor is nautical and there are plenty of trophy fishing pics. The friendly customer service by the ladies behind the counter showed the Aloha Spirit we experienced throughout our trip. My daughter's boss raved about Fresh Catch's poke by making the bold claim that it was the best and freshest poke he's ever eaten. For Guy Fieri to feature their restaurant in his show, I was expecting amazing food. Poke needs to be experienced in Hawaii. It's not mainland poke. You're not going to get poke mixed in with other filler food. In Hawaii, you get your choice of fish and some scoops of rice. If you're looking to get a massive amount of food, then poke restaurants on Hawaii might not be your cup of tea. I ordered the spicy ahi with a scoop of rice. Yes, it was fresh and tasty, but it wasn't the best poke I had eaten on our trip to Oahu. We got to Fresh Catch towards the end of the day, so not sure if that contributed to me not being blown away. I also thought for the price, it wasn't enough food, but I've never eaten poke this way. I also ordered Fresh Catch's pastele fries, which are deep fried potato strips topped with a scoop of pastele stew and shredded cheese. Definitely order this side item!!! It was yummy, hearty, and I enjoyed the pastele fries better than the spicy ahi poke. Fresh Catch was our first Diners Drive-ins and Dives restaurant we visited based on a recommendation from my daughter's boss. I did enjoy the spicy ahi poke with rice, but my fave were the pastele fries. I wish I had tried some their other menu choices. read more

Fresh Catch - Spicy Ahi Poke with rice. - Hawaiian Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

We tracked down where Fresh Catch was. New property owners razed the building where it was originally. It's just a food truck right now until they finish working on the new place. It's a bit tricky to find - you need to come down Harding Ave and veer right as if to go Waialae Ave. You'll see the truck on the right. Only 3 small parking spaces so don't bring your big truck. Better yet, order online and then jump out and pick up. We got the smoke marlin- holy shiitake mushrooms! It was so moist and soft, and oh so smoky! Broke da mout! We whacked it by the time left Kaimuki. Also got the seared ahi- 6 pieces of super tender and melt in your mouth ahi. Can't wait til they officially open. Said they are working on it but no word on a date. read more

Came for the poke and was not disappointed. As the name suggests, the fish was fresh and every bite made me squeal with happiness. We got the shoyu ahi and their most popular flavor (I couldn't catch the name because it was kind of hard to hear the guy behind the display, but I think it was a lemon-y flavor, I could be wrong). If you're just a visitor to the island like me and want to try different flavors of poke, I recommend buying in portions of 1/4 pound to really try everything! We weren't super hungry so got 1/4 pound of both flavors as a poke bowl and it was so yummy. My favorite out of the two was the shoyu ahi, but both of them were super flavorful and perfectly seasoned. Honestly, after trying a few other popular spots any poke place hits, the fish is just so fresh anywhere on the island so don't feel the need to find THE poke spot. If I ever come back I would probably come get some more shoyu ahi read more

Omg!!!! I go in at least 4xs a month to get their salmon poke. My husband and I were stationed in OK for a few years and were stationed back home in 2022. He is getting sent back to OK in a few months. I will miss that poke but found out from the wonderful women behind the counter that I can buy their Black Magic Sauce! I left my name and number in case the sauce came back in stock not thinking I'd hear from them. Today is my birthday and while at lunch Nalani called and said they had a note to call me when it came in. BEST BIRTHDAY PRESENT EVER!!!! I sped over there after lunch and bought two bottles. I was wearing a lei and said it was the best birthday gift! They gave me the sauce and a piece of cake and even sang Happy Birthday to me! I ALWAYS tell everyone about the great poke there but now I'll tell them how wonderful the staff is. (Though I always knew the my are awesome!) I will miss them when we go but they told me they ship to the continental US! Go see them at the Kapahulu location. And don't forget to TIP! read more

At Fresh Catch, there's a bunch of poke mixes that you can choose from. They sell the poke by weight, so you can get as little or as much as you want. I got the firecracker, spicy ahi, and ahi limu. The poke was really fresh; the fish basically melted in my mouth. Firecracker was too spicy for me. Spicy ahi was milder than the firecracker; it was like a spicy mayo mixed in ahi. Ahi limu was my favorite! I could really taste the ahi since it wasn't drenched in sauce or seasoning. The total came out to be around $15 and it was quite filling. There's not indoor seating at the moment, but there was a table right outside. read more

Wow, my last review for this Fresh Catch was almost 10 years ago! Time for an update! My coworkers and I get lunch at Fresh Catch, usually once a week. It's convenient because it is about a mile from work and it is fast so we can pick up poke during our short lunch break. I parked and walked in like normal one day and ordered two poke bowls, which came out to $33. The guy who rang me up was struggling with the cash register. It seemed like the wifi/data was down or something and the credit card machine wasn't working, but what do I know. He charged me, then asked me to wait because he didn't think it went through. They ended up having to restart the whole cash register (which took like 5 minutes) and after, because it still wasn't working, I had to go to the other register to get rung up again. They apologized for the long wait and inconvenience and assured me that if I was charged twice, I could just call and get the second charge taken off. I get my credit card statement and I was indeed charged twice. I called them and my info was taken down (including my cc info and the charge amount) and I was told "Eddy" would call me. She did, later that day, and I gave her all my info a second time. A week later, I had not received a refund. I called Eddy back and she was admitted that she is really busy, too busy to help me. I give all my info a third time. I'm pretty pissed off at this point. Then she asks if I'm visit the island frequently because I have an out of state number. WTF. I've had the same phone number for the past 15 years and it is definitely an 808 number. Then she asks if it is possible that I came in the day after I was charged. lol. She mentions valentine's day (which is nowhere near the dates I provided her). lol. This phone call is getting weirder and weirder. Fresh Catch has great poke. It's expensive, but worth it. But as a business, it's a shit show. I informed my coworkers that I don't want to go for lunch any more and we now have to find somewhere else in Kaimuki to go :/ read more

It really hurts to write this review because I don't ever want to give a place such a poor rating. I'm hoping it's just a one-off. We've been wanting to try this location of Fresh Catch. Everything looked ono. Mary said her favorites were x, y, and z so we ordered the ahi belly, garlic salmon, and ahi belly lechon. Also added kimchee tako. The kimchee tako was ono! The garlic salmon was perfectly cooked. The ahi belly was cooked ok, not over, not under, but almost over cooked and the white sauce was so bland. But the rice. The rice! All of rice was not cooked. Not even undercooked. Just not cooked. See photos. You can see solid bits of rice. The rice for all ordered was inedible. We paid over $70 and couldn't even eat the rice? Additionally, I'm so sorry, but the auntie working cashier was so sick. She shouldn't have been working. She was coughing into her hands, touching the poke spoons, the pen she gave me to sign, the utensils...it was just...unacceptable. I'm just so sad by the quality of our food and the price we paid for it...and for old auntie who couldn't stay home on a day when she should've been home resting . read more

Been wanting to try this place for a few years now and finally had a chance to pop in to grab some poke a couple weeks ago. I arrived a few minutes before closing. They barely had any poke left, so I quickly ordered a small spicy ahi. They packed up it, weighed it and I paid and ran out. Taste wise it was different from most of the spicy sauces I have had with poke. It had a little kick to it. The fish itself was stringy and tough. Sad because I had high hopes for this place. read more

Lots of fresh poke options and other fish dishes to choose from. Random building located right off the road with an interesting little parking lot, and no seating area. However, it's still worth a stop if you want some good fresh fish for reasonable prices. I got a couple scoops of fish, seaweed salad, and rice. Everything was delicious, and a lot of the cooked fish dishes looked great too. I'll definitely come here again. read more

We split a poke plate consisting of a single scoop of rice (but you can get as many scoops of rice as you'd like), spicy ahi, Hawaiian style, and spicy salmon pokes. Once you get your poke plate, head upstairs (use the elevator) to Henriques, which has a full bar and lots of indoor tables to relax, enjoy your poke, and a cocktail if you perfer. All three pokes were very, very good, and the salmon poke was mild, fresh, and not fishy at all. Great poke flavors, well balanced between spicy, seasonings, and creamy texture. This place definitely deserves a return visit or two! read more

I absolutely love, fresh catch! If I lived in Honolulu, I would be there fairly often. In the one week I was there I did visit twice and it was my final stop before we went to the airport to go home. They have such an amazing selection of different poke. So there is literally something for everyone. If you don't like raw fish, there are many types of cooked entrées as well. However, I really did love the spicy tuna and shoyu poke. The restaurant itself is small and it is basically a take away with a small parking lot. However, it is completely worth going and taking home or take him to a park or the beach or whatever because it is fresh and delicious. read more

I remember when Fresh Catch was located on Waialae in the old Pizza Hut building. Between that location and this location, I liked that more due to ease of access and more parking. It is a challenge to get to this new location and they have limited parking. This new location is cozy and offers take out. You can't really dine in here. They offer fresh fish in the form of poke, sashimi or rice/salad plates. There is a lot of beverage (nonalcoholic) options available. They also have daily specials. I haven't been back to Fresh Catch in ages but I recently came back because Yelp GF mentioned their salmon plate. I tried to call in a phone order but I couldn't get anyone on the phone so I just headed down. Fortunately, they still had salmon belly for their Saturday daily special. It didn't take the kitchen long to get my order out. The plate comes with 3 pieces of salmon belly over a bed of cabbage and two scoops of white rice. Flavors were good and the portion was just right to leave one content. Glad to see their success continue over the years and good option for fresh fish. read more

I am an avid poke eater, and this was one of the best poke dishes I have ever had. I got the shoyu ahi and the spicy salmon with a side of the ocean salad and white rice, and it was AMAZING. The fish melted in my mouth and were seasoned perfectly. This place doesn't seem like much on the inside (it is to go only) and it kind of hard to get to when driving, but so worth it. More on the expensive side for poke, but again, so worth it!! read more

1st time eating since they closed Waialae. Right off that little lane that comes down from Harding before it merges on Kapahulu. Pretty crappy location. Just a truck so limited menu but still good selection. Got the salmon bone, hubs got beef stew...and of course grabbed some lomi oio. Looks like opening brick and mortar right there...hope prkg in the back is gonna be available or there will be a lot of creative parking going on. But just happy they are back in town! read more

The service was amazing. The tuna Katsu was off the chain, the spicy tuna poke' bowl was so fresh.

The salmon poke was so good - very fresh and fatty. The sauce was unique - it had a very sweet & savory taste to it. Also, there were chopped onions and green onions mixed in which added some texture. This was my fav out of the two items. The spicy ahi was good, also very fresh. But the spicy sauce was mediocre, it didn't have much of a spice to it. There's only a few parking spots next to the truck so we parked in a neighborhood around the block. Line goes fairly quickly and you get your food as you order it (for the pre-prepped poke items). read more

Love love love their spicy shoyu ahi, pastels fries, and spicy ahi Katsu. Also love their salad dressing! I recommend buying a bottle. They are now on the corner of Harding and kapahulu making it a little tricky to access and find parking. Worse case scenario you circle around the block if you do pass it or if there isn't parking available the first time. Service is fast and competent so most people are in and out. If you don't want to wait for the hot food(plate lunches) I recommend calling ahead and ordering. Only thing I don't care for here is their spicy ahi:( idk if they use a different mayonnaise(best foods is the only way) or something but it just tastes off... Really bumped bc I'm a spicy ahi girl and love all their other flavors. read more

I'm so glad I went to fresh catch to try their poke bowl. It was the last poke place I went to, but it turned out being my favorite one. The poke bowl here was amazing!! I had three different kinds of fish: spicy salmon, garlic ahi, and shoyu ahi. All of them were delicious. I liked that I could choose as many as different kinds of fish I wanted. The place was clean and the service was great. They don't have seatings neither inside or outside, so it's more like a take out place. This is gonna be the place I'll go to get poke bowls whenever in Waikiki. read more

I would say that this place is good on its own. Note that during covid, it's takeout only and it can get pretty busy. Decided to try this spot out after landing on the island to try some place new. First off, the staff there are very friendly and attentive (the Hawaii way). We decided to try a little bit of everything -- the kimchi tako, spicy ahi, hawaiian blend poke, salmon and the tuna katsu. Everything was very fresh (especially the tuna katsu, made to order), but the flavors weren't as pronounced as some other spots around the island. My favorites from the selection above were the hawaiian blend poke and the kimchi tako. Don't get me wrong, the others were good too, but if you're looking to grab two flavors, these are what i would recommend! read more

I am probably going to repeat what all of the other reviews already stated, but oh well, figured it wouldn't hurt the business to get another 5 star review from a fellow visitor. This is a takeout only place: you come in, get in line, place your order, if your order is a poke, you get it right away and if it is a platter from their extensive menu, you wait outside for them to prepare your food. All in all, it didn't take too much time for them to prepare our platters from the time we placed them. There's a small parking lot for a handful of cars, but since the place is takeout only, the cars move in and out of the lot fairly quickly. We got the spicy ahi katsu and the furikake seared tuna as our platters of choice. The spicy ahi katsu alone could have fed 2 people. The ahi katsu was breaded perfectly, having that nice crunch on the outside and well-cooked meaty ahi in the inside at each bite. It was very generously doused with what tasted like spicy mayo and sprinkled with lots of furikake and scallions. I was already quite a fan of Fresh Catch after tasting this meal, but things took an even more pleasant turn once I tasted the furikake seared ahi. The furikake seared ahi was the winner for me. Although the serving is a bit smaller than the katsu (this dish feels like it is for 1 person as opposed to 2), the fresh ahi was absolutely delicious, working well with the what tasted like horseradish mayo that was served on the side. If you are in between furikake seared or normal seared, let this review be the tie breaker to go for the furikake seared ahi. It added such an umami flavor to the fresh ahi. Last note, both dishes come with 2 generous scoops of rice for those wondering. Lots of people came here to try their poke, which looked amazing as well. They have a generous selection of poke ranging from different flavors of ahi, salmon, and tako (octopus). This just means that I will need to come back to get the poke next time! read more
