    Sad fish and chips and TERRIBLE tartar sauce
    Lo F.

    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!

    $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

    Beef stew plate-wat happened???
    Kimi S.

    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.

    Beef stew
    Kathy U.

    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.

    Spicy ahi katsu filling!

    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!

    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.

    Spicy Ahi Katsu
    Ari T.

    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 **

    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...

    Seared Ahi Salad
    Nicole W.

    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.

    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

    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.

    Menu/counter
    Tanya P.

    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!

    Eric D.

    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

Despite the fact that it's a considerably trek for city-dwellers, factoring either traffic or bus schedules into the equation, or both if you're particularly unlucky, it's a journey always worth taking. Hit Hanauma Bay along the way and make it a day trip; the only way to top those dazzling sights is to follow them with a stellar meal. Boasting a menu composed of locally-sourced produce and entirely vegan options, you'll want to take a number of friends for the best experience. Heck, get out there and make some new friends! Join one of the long communal picnic tables out back and introduce yourself; there are no friendlier folks on earth than those living in paradise, as far as I've seen. That said, if there was only one dish to order, it would have to be the Oh WOW Laulau. Wow, indeed! No where else on earth have I found vegan laulau, let alone such a stellar rendition. Traditionally consisting of fatty pork and/or fish steamed in taro leaves, this version eschews the meat in favor of hearty root vegetables, adding creamy coconut into the mix for richness. Not to be overlooked is the Tofu Poke provided on the side, claiming to be spicy but really bearing just enough warmth to taste perfectly balanced. This was easily my personal favorite from the small sampling of dishes provided, but it's a close call when all the options are so good. Another front runner is the BBQ Portobello Sandwich. Mushrooms marinated in a bright, smoky barbecue sauce practically sing between two whole wheat buns. Coconut slaw tops off the assemblage with just the right amount of subtle sweetness to contrast the deeply savory flavors within. Simpler but no less spectacular dishes include the Roasted Veg Platter and Roasted Veg Avocado Sandwich. The way that the vegetables are treated with respect, from the moment they're harvested from nearby farms to the care taken when they reach the kitchen is evident with every bite. Cooked with care and proffered generously with each serving, even the basics make the trek out here worthwhile. I'm still trying to recreate that impossibly umami gravy offered on the side. It's one of those things that are so astoundingly, inconceivably delicious, it's impossible to deconstruct. Each entree promises an ideal amount of food; satisfying diners without over-stuffing them. That said, you'll still want to make room for dessert, especially when you see the towering bowls full of Outta This Swirled Soft Serve. Cool, naturally sweet spirals of banana-based soft serve are dressed to the nines with cacao sauce that hardens much like magic shell, granola and coconut flakes tumbling down the mountainous terrain, and fresh fruits that vary based on local availability- Expect papaya always to be in ample supply, based on the thriving papaya trees on premise. Each order is abundant enough to be a considered a full meal in and of itself.
