No frills easy eats close to the main highway. Went for a late lunch - they have parking on the lot. Ordered some poke and fries and ate there. There's a few indoor benches to eat at. Poke was good and the fries were pretty decent also. Would come back if feeling for poke around the area!
Food: Chicken was not that good. But of course, it is seafood based. Poke was the most delicious poke my husband's ever had. Pretty expensive. Service: It's okay. They were friendly. Ambiance: Deli like. Very clean.
Landed in the morning and came straight to Fresh Catch for some poke. They have plenty of parking and the restaurant is very spacious. You order downstairs and they have a lot of seating upstairs. Service is quick and efficient. I got their poke bowl which came with a scoop of rice and chose their shoyu poke. The poke was delicious and marinated to perfection. However, the rice was super mushy which was a bummer. I'd definitely come back and just get 1/2 pound of poke.
First time trying Fresh Catch. Always thought they were mostly poke until a friend said they have other cooked fish and other plates, too. They give you a buzzer after you order, but food was ready pretty quickly. Tried the Ahi Katsu and it was delicious! Not cooked until the ahi was dried out. Nice and crispy Only issue (and friend already knew) is they don't drizzle much sauce on and it could have used more. Would have been five stars otherwise for my plate. Another friend got the beef stew and she said it was weird tasting. Beef pieces weren't tender. Only the potatoes were. We got our food take out, but there's tables with benches to sit at. Tables are resin covered and pretty, but benches look hard, after all they are benches. Service is good, staff are friendly. They are patient with tourists walking in asking questions about the food.
Update after a few visits from the first visit,Fresh Catch is the real deal! Fresh fish is what you find here! Always consistent! You can pick up your food & catch the elevator upstairs to enjoy the views ( haven't done that yet) or take out! Fresh varieties of poke you can ask for made fresh and stored in their showcase commercial refrigerator! When ever you want fresh fish this is the spot! They have salmon & chicken plate lunches too!
One day i craved ahi katsu randomly out of the blue and searched on google places that had it , it brought me here to Fresh Catch and the rest is history lol ( literally ).. This is my second time at their Kaneohe location , I honestly prefer this location rather than the Kapahulu one. I always get the Spicy Ahi Katsu plate , it's literally the BOMB.COM!! The portion is big too , so you can always eat it for lunch and then dinner. They probably have the best Ahi katsu on island , in my opinion. Service is always great too! And food always comes out fast! ** also excuse my pic , the plate tilted in the car (my fault probably) but trust the plate looks much nicer than this in real life LOL **
Oh no ! Wat happened Fresh Catch??? We hate giving reviews like this but we have to be honest. Taking our order was a grouchy aunty who nevah cracked a welcoming smile. Hungry husband's beef stew plate was bland,no carrots & too thick. It seemed like it was a few days old. Potatoes were very salty. I ordered a combo plate with smoked meat & ahi katsu (sauce on da side). The smoked meat was very tasty but over cooked & dried out. The ahi katsu was cooked perfectly but not enough. Let's end on a good note...Mac salad was plentiful & ono ! Parking was busy & there's an empty lot next door.
Having ate here a lot at other locations I finally had time to stop in their new Kaneohe location! Service was great even though the cook forgot the sauces on our food... Ordered, and everything was ready quickly. Decided to eat in as cold food isn't great and was slightly saddened. The ahi katsu wasn't as good as it used to be. The fish was super thin and dry, and the sauce couldn't save it. The poke was ok, but one of them had a little too much sugar for my liking... Overall it wasn't bad, just not the same as it used to be...
Best poke we have had on the island, super fresh, delicious flavors. Not more you could ask for. Prices are double than what you pay at the grocery store. So it's pretty pricey. The shoyu poke was my favorite a little sweet, but not strong. The limu was salty/savory and not too salty like some places. Seasonings were really well balanced, fish was mild. We tried the Ahi salad and it was generous in portion, fish was good and the dressings were tasty. We had tried another location last time we were here and didn't have a good experience, but we got it at the end of the day. It was around dinner time and I wouldn't recommend doing that here. It wasn't as fresh. Maybe it was from the morning? Poke is typically a lunch thing. Never tastes as good if it sat all day. This location was good, we did get it in the morning and take it on the boat for lunch. So not an issue this time.
Great suggestion we received from the crew on our sand bar excursion. We ordered the pastele fries and furikake seared ahi and subbed out the carbs for salad. We at upstairs and enjoyed the beautiful view of the mountains. We can see why they raved about the pastele fries. What a flavor bomb! The pork stew had amazing flavor with chunks or pork and smothered with cheddar cheese. So good! The furikake ahi was good but was hoping it was more rare than was served and the salad wasn't much but greens with few tomatoes and onions. Dressings were ok. Definitely give it a shot and the fires are a must.
Arrived here for a quick lunch. Fresh Catch from what i've heard is most known for their ahi katsu plate lunches. Went on a Saturday so it was busy with all the stalls occupied but we got a parking pretty quick after patiently waiting. I at first wanted to get ahi katsu but i had katsu the night before so I went with a poke bowl instead. Got 2 poke bowls two scoop rice with spicy ahi and shoyu. Other poke bowl with spicy ahi and kitchen sink. Total came out to $50. Now did I wish then and there to get ahi katsu? yeah i wish i did. Poke bowl is good! fresh! but the spicy ahi taste just like straight mayonnaise and I love mayonnaise but i've tried better spicy ahi at other places. Their shoyu poke is really good tho! Would come back again, but for ahi katsu. Used to always drive up to Waialua lunch wagon for ahi katsu but I'll try it here next time.
Customer service is fantastic! The teriyaki ahi tuna(poke) is very fresh and tasty! I got katsu salmon which I absolutely loved. Tuesday and Wednesday I'll have to go back because the specials those days are very special. Monday they are closed. The upper deck was closed today for a special event. The ladies and men's rooms are locked, so ask for a key. There are dining tables inside large enough for a big family or to meet some new friends! There's a little music playing too. Loved it! I'll be going back!
First time here. Had just landed at HNL and was starving! My boyfriend took me for lunch and it was so damn yummy! I ended up with the furikake salmon and I'd order this again. It was cooked perfectly.

Came here today for lunch after touring the Byodo Temple. Everyone at the counter was very nice and was very helpful as we could not make up our mind what to order. You can also taste the poke so you know which one to order. Place is very laid back and love all the fishing photos on the wall. Really beautiful tables. We ordered 1/2 lb of spicy Ahi Shoyu poke and fireball ahi with rice, cucumber and seaweed salad. Everything tasted fresh and the pieces were chunky. The cucumber and seaweed salad blend well with the ahi. It was spicy but in a good way. Overall we had a great experience and this place is a must try! read more
This place is really f***king good. The views are Elite!!! You can see all of the mauka view, and there is so much space here and they have big tables. And the ahi katsu is amazing as well. Perfect crunch and the sauce on top is yummy. You grab your order and you can sit downstairs or upstairs. Plenty parking as well read more

$9 for the special teas they get and only filled the cup 60% haha I'll try anything once but definitely not worth it if anyone was curious about trying um. Other than the tea the food is always super mayjah just pricey. Aunty working here super friendly. If it wasn't for the over priced half filled drink would be 5/5 for sure. Yessah read more

Damn they really don't make 'em like they used to. Might need to update from "fresh" catch to "last nights" catch Fresh Catch used to have bomb ass plates, but now it seems they just pumping out the plates with little to no effort. Ordered the ahi katsu and the fish and chips to pickup. Waited almost 10 minutes at the pickup window for an order that was already ready and watched as workers came by the window to grab items but ignored the window and window bell 3x. Ahi katsu was a mix of 2-3 fresh pieces and OLD pieces underneath, all covered under the sauce (extra light I might add). Typically they put the sauce on the side, this was a takeout order and they decided to pour it on top, I'm assuming to make up for the extra dry katsu. Katsu was still extra dry under the sauce and now soggy on top of that. Fish and chips was sad, fish was barely bigger than the tartar sauce it came with. Not to mention HORRIBLE TARTAR sauce, not even made in-house. Cheap packaged tartar sauce (Sauers) instead that has a strong vinegar taste. Mac salad was bland and look like slop. Last couple times fresh catch has been hit or miss, seems the "misses" are becoming more common than "hits". Tried to give them the benefit of the doubt this time but sadly just disappointed once again. Considering the prices of the plates, you'd expect just a little more effort :( They used to have better service and quality when they were next to the old Pizza Hut. Ever since moving to this location it's been a struggle to get the same quality. Last time for Fresh Catch for me, please do better so we can come back again! read more
Dropped a visit here specifically for the ahi Katsu bowl since that seemed to be the yelper fan favorite. And it sure did not disappoint. The fish was fresh and tender with great crisp on the outside. Like many other shops, Fresh catch offers a wide variety of poke where you can purchase by the lbs. or in a poke bowl. They also have a variety of other dishes on the menu. Seating is available but somewhat limited during the busy hour. Just be friendly and share the tables and you should be good. Easy peasy parking lot at this location as well. Cheers read more

Fresh catch done right. Everything tasted incredibly clean and vibrant--like it just came out of the ocean. The fish quality is top-tier, and the flavors are perfectly balanced without overpowering the natural freshness. Simple, delicious, and seriously satisfying. Definitely coming back read more
my new favorite spot!!!! we went 30 minutes prior to closing and they only had the furikake seared left (which was not our first option) but ended up being a blessing in disguise because it was sooo delicious!!! the tuna is so soft it melts right in your mouth & doesn't have a fishy taste at all! it pairs so nicely with the aioli sauce or even by itself!! there's a seating area on the other side with about 5 benches the main parking lot gets filled quick but luckily there's additional parking the next lot down read more

Food quality: 5/5 Service: 5/5 Cleanliness: 5/5 Value: 5/5 Don't skip on: The poke and smoked meats Loved our first experience at Fresh Catch! This quick service restaurant was a great find and their fish all on display for customers to choose from. They also offered cooked items including fries, Katsu, smoked meats, and chicken. We got the Hawaiian Ahi poke, the ahi Katsu, and the smoked meats. Everything was delicious!!! I've never had the ahi Katsu and smoked meats before (pretty much smoked char siu) and I highly recommend folks to try these out! The staff was nice and welcoming and very helpful with the questions we had. The dining area was off to the side, which is great for both those with to-go orders and those that want to stay there and eat. Can't wait to go back and try other items! read more

Furikaki salmon was dry. The fries an extra charge of $4.99 were cold and stale Definately not worth the $23.98 read more
Really good fresh poke and made to order plate lunches! We tried three kinds of poke and all were super good- loved the less common flavors like wasabi ahi and coconut octopus too. On the combo plate lunch, the ahi katsu was phenomenal- super flavorful and great texture, and the chicken was mad crispy. Mac salad had potatoes hidden inside too. Def worth sampling :) read more

#5 rank out of 5. Of the 5 poke places we tried while on Oahu, this one was the lowest rank. Came in after the lunch rush, selection was small, but service was excellent. Food was subpar / mediocre - almost supermarket quality. Fish freshness tasted like defrosted frozen ahi - cuts were very uneven - large uneven chunks to tiny cubes. Taste was way too heavy/strong in sauces and therefore very salty. Tried: shoyu, limu and spicy. All were very salty - made me remove the dressing/sauce on the ride just to be able to eat it. At $26/lb it's too pricey for what you get. Tried their beef stew and katsu w/ garlic chicken plate - both were very salty as well. Beef stew was almost all fat - very little meat and one small piece of potato and carrot was all that was found. Had to take a anti-hypertensive medication after that meal. Would not return here. read more

I'm not sure who helped me today, however, she was not very kind. No aloha there. I received what may be 4 bites of ahi and a scoop of rice. This is just ridiculous. My husband has gone multiple times and never once has his plate looked as sad as the one I received today. It was actually embarrassing to even leave and bring it home to him. I forgot to ask for furikake over the items, but I was presented with a small container for $1.75. Are we serious? I will not be going back anytime soon. I guess I'll send my husband, the more 'local' of the family (what a joke) to feel as though that was how I was being treated. read more
This WAS my go-to poke place in Kaneohe. Let me tell you why... My first experience, service was good, poke was fresh, quality was good. I ordered kitchen sink, spicy ahi & fried chicken plate. Everything was spot on. My second experience, service was just ok. Employee seemed irritated but it's alright. Limited choices on poke, quality was still good. Fried chicken plate was SUPER salty. My third AND last experience, not much options for poke, quality was eh... I got the spicy ahi it was dry and extremely salty. I wanted to give the fried chicken another try because my first experience it was really good. But the fried chicken was yet again, SALTY. I really hate giving low star reviews... but I gave this place a chance & I like being honest so others can save money especially in this economy. read more

Fresh Catch's new location makes it easy to enter and park. Top plate picks - Ahi belly and crab stuffed ahi roll (Wednesday special) - Spicy Ahi katsu - Baked furikaki salmon - Salmon garlic - not a fan of the smoked meat Customer service is smooth never had any issues from tons of visits here. Seating is limited despite the size of the building. You'll see it right when you enter. read more

Stopped for lunch after spending the morning on the water. Known as a great poke spot, Fresh Catch lived up to its reputation after being highlighted on Diners Drive-ins and Dives. Efficient ordering at the counter. Tried a combo plate of Garlic Chicken and Spicy Ahi Katsu. Came with the Hawaiian plate standards of white rice and Mac salad. Fish was fresh and perfectly prepared. Loved the garlic chicken too, which had great sweetness and garlic flavor. A brisk local lunch crowd confirmed how good this place is. read more
