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.

Food was winnnnnahs! So good, I only have a picture of my dessert to share with you Love the new place and the vibe. Can't wait for the top to be open and see how that goes. The staff was full of aloha when we walked in, even if it was busy. Ended up ordering the spicy ahi katsu (bomb), some shoyu poke, and red velvet cupcakes. Everything tasted perfect. Only downfall of the new shop is the front area where you order and pickup food. It gets a little congested while you're trying to order and someone is trying to pickup at the same time. Still new though, so I'm sure a good system will help with that. Other than that, everything was on point!! read more

The salmon belly and the tuna belly were very good. At the right temperature and very tender. The beer could be a little colder. Clean environment and the staff were very friendly. read more

I've had a lot of great poke in Hawaii, but I think this spot tops the list to date. We came here after a couple of our tour guides at Kualoa Ranch recommended it. We got a Poke Bowl with Creamy Wasabi, Hawaiian Blend, Kitchen Sink, Spicy Ahi. It was fantastic. I have no complaints. The Creamy Wasabi and Hawaiian Blend were my favorites but I would happily get any of them again. They have a huge selection of poke. I love that you can get as many different types as you want in your poke bowl. There's no set amount, you just tell them when to stop scooping. They aren't open for indoor dining right now, but there are tables you can eat at outside. This is hands down, the #1 spot you need to try on Oahu! read more
Had a chance to stop in and check out the new fresh catch spot in Kaneohe! Nice spot with lots of parking. Has small dinning area if you like grind ova dea... Didn't have a lot of poke choices tho but I got the spicy Hawaiian and some furikake fries! Food is always on point and ono! read more
Out of all the poke we ate during our vacation, this was probably my favorite. Prices were reasonable, with a huge selection including salmon which I felt like was lacking at other poke shops. Fresh Catch also offers hot food like Garlic Chicken (worth the try). Don't let the appearance fool you, it's a small little building that could use some better upkeep. If they didn't have such a reputation, then I wouldn't have stopped by on appearances alone. There's a small parking lot and they do drive-through orders! I got the salmon poke which had a sweet marinade. Some of the salmon still had pieces of skin on it which bothers some people but it was fine for me. Super tender, super fresh. I even went a little adventurous and got the Pipikaula poke, which is beef. It had the texture of jerky and maybe if the chunks weren't as big...it would've been easier to eat and chew. I also got to try the garlic chicken and it was so good. Deep fried crispy, with an unbelievably garlicky and sweet sauce. Highly recommend and since it's a chain, you don't need to drive all the way out to Kaneohe to try Fresh Catch. read more
In a new building and set up like a fast food Deli with order counter in one room and three-four picnic tables in second room. Bottom line on this place from my perspective is counter people are friendly and helpful and food was OUTSTANDING. Their specialty is Poke and they had a wide selection and we made a sampler for several of us and ALL was fresh and tasted great. Others go chili fries, fried chicken, garlic chicken, beef stew and seared Ahi and everyone was pleased. This is now on the "do" list when eating on O'ahu. read more
Decided to finally check out the store location. I've been to the food truck location, but it has a more limited menu. The people here are so friendly with aloha spirit!!! HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend the Spicy Ahi Katsu, probably the best Katsu I've ever had. Hands down. 1000/10. It is such a big, generous portion for $13.99 too. The sauce is out of this world!!!! Finger licking good, trust! I also got the Smoked Meat sandwich with fries combo and that was delicious as well! The meat was incredibly flavorful. And the fries were perfectly seasoned and crispy. This place has parking on site, as well as a drive thru! You just ring the buzzer. There is limited seating outside, 2 benches so I would plan to take your food to go and sit somewhere else. read more
There's a reason people go out of their way to visit here. It's THAT good. Hands down the freshest and tastiest poke we've ever had. The Ahi Hawaiian blend was recommended to us and it was delicious. It has a small kick and contains white and green onions with some type of magical sauce and sesame seeds. It's not fishy at all. We also tried the Ahi Katsu which is breaded ahi (sorry no pics), rice and Chef Reno's signature sauce. The ahi was juicy, perfectly fried and was not fishy at all. In fact, we thought we had been given chicken at first but it was too flaky to have been chicken. For someone who doesn't eat lot of fish, I could eat here regularly without a problem. We'll be back to try more for sure! Mahalo! read more

Solid poke spot! We stopped by and the outside & inside look a little run down but food looked so good I didn't care. I like that they don't limit you on how much different types of poke you can pick like other places offering 1-3 scoops. I got 2 scoops of rice here, spicy ahi, shoyu ahi, salmon poke and kitchen sink. I came to Hawaii thinking I was 100% a salmon girl but I guess I'm not! The ahi was sooo good. Put the salmon poke to shame. Kitchen sink ended up being my favorite but they were all delicious. Here's some cons though. The rice was terrible. Hard, crusted up pieces I couldn't even eat it. Also, the worker scooping for me sounded like she just wanted me to leave lol after every scoop before I could say anything she'd continue to ask "is that it?". If you gave me a few seconds I'd tell you if it was! I was feeling super rushed when there wasn't even a line. I thanked her after and got no response. The woman at the register was super sweet though! Overall, I'd definitely come back. read more

Derricious poke. The Ahi Limu, Shoyu, and Tako were all finely seasoned and balanced. I'd just pass on the Spicy Ahi personally as it was doused with far too much spicy mayo. From the hot offerings, do NOT miss the Ahi Katsu Spicy! Two gargantuan ahi filets covered in both Chef Reno savory and spicy Hawaiian sauces. Served piping hot and encased in super crispy breading, this was an absolute delight...not to mention awesomely filling. 4.5 stars rounded up! read more

I was visiting Hawaii with some friends, one of them being a local. We were looking for a place to eat and found this place. My local friend had never been here, but we took a chance and decided to have lunch here. I will start off by saying, we were NOT disappointed one bit!! We had a big group and the staff got us through the line and with our food very quickly. I ordered the furikake seared ahi and I was blown away. The crispy fry of the furikake outside and the soft, tender ahi on the inside was heavenlyyyyyyy! One of my friend's got the ahi katsu and let me try it. ALSO HEAVENLY. At this point, I honestly don't think I could order something here that wouldn't be good. The place lives up to it's name--it definitely is FRESH. read more

Interior is welcoming, great artwork on walls. No idea if for sale. Seats - 10 on makai side (2 benches, each seating5). 10 top bench-style table on mauka side. Menu looked the same at quick glance, didn't look over it thoroughly though. Went with ahi katsu. Solid w/ 2 scoop rice. Wish they had a Mac to add. Also had Tako poke, sweeter than I recall but still delicious. Plenty parking when we arrived but full when we left, so comes in waves I suppose. Slow to get food but they were busy. Service will speed up once they streamline the process. Still A+ in my book. read more
I'm so bummed that Fresh Catch on Waialae closed since it was my go to spot for poke. My Mom and stepdad are in town for the week and one thing that was on their list was eating good quality poke. Of course I had to make the trek and take them to Fresh Catch in Kaneohe! It's been awhile since I've been to this location but it was jam packed. They do a great job at taking orders quickly and serving up food. The workers were extremely friendly and helpful. My family had questions about the poke on display and they were able to suggest different must try items such as the Shoyu Poke and Dried Aku. I ordered my usual, a poke bowl with one scoop of rice and Spicy Salmon. As always, the poke bowl was delicious and gone within minutes. I love how the salmon's always fresh and the taste is consistent. The spicy sauce it's slathered in has the perfect kick to it. My family ordered a plethora of different pokes to try as well as sides like Ocean Salad and the Dried Aku. They were extremely impressed and noted that they're happy they finally got to try real poke! Thank you Fresh Catch, we all can't wait to come back. read more

we are here visiting and a local referred us to this place. the food was absolutely phenomenal, almost enough to go back. but the service was absolutely disgusting. they could tell we were not locals and we were clearly not welcome here. if you are visiting, i absolutely do not recommend coming here. such a disgustingly rude establishment. however i would go down the street to k. bay bros, sweetest people i have ever met. read more

We came during the afternoon for a late lunch, and it looked like all the poke they had on display had been bought out. Depending on the selection, I would pass if they have slim pickings because they will not make more poke and scoop from what they have. $32.23 after tax for two orders of poke-one with brown rice and the other with white rice felt very...not worth, you're better off in the poke section at Foodland! read more
Stopped at this little place after touring Kualoa Ranch in the pouring rain. Never had ahi tuna katsu but I really wanted to try and wow! They put some spicy Mayo sauce on top and adds so much flavor. Also got a side of poke fried rice but was not a fan. Poke is raw for a reason haha! Portions are huge so make sure to come hungry or share. My sister and I got the same thing and both ended up eating half so we could have easily shared. We also got some poke (not pictured) for snacking later and that was so fresh and amazing as is all poke in Hawaii. They have a few other locations on the island to stop by so definitely give this place a try! read more

Delicious and fresh poke! Several choices and excellent service. They will help you select your own mix if you need help. We are visiting from TX and loved it for lunch. Great for take and go. Seating is limited but the food is amazing. I had the Hawaiian Ahi, and spicy Hawaiian and loved it. Hubby had salmon and said it was very fresh. About $15 a box. Ww were stuffed. read more
Normally I'd give fresh catch 5 stars, I come here about every other year when my family visits Hawaii, but this time I've got to knock it to 4 stars. I say this because while the food was amazing as always, the girl behind the register was sassy to both my mother and other customers. When my mother ordered seared ahi and the seared furikake ahi, she had attitude and told my mother that they were the same thing but then proceeded to explain how they were different. I also overheard her with another customer who came in for an online or phone order and she snapped at them and told them it was only ordered 10 minutes ago so there will be a wait. The tone she gave was absolutely not polite. read more

This place is so hit and miss.. last time we were pumped because the ahi katsu we ordered had multiple sauces and seasoning and not only looked beautiful, it tasted amazing. Today we just got fried fillets with two tubs of Mayo?? Subbed rice for fries but it cost the price of the fries to upgrade anyway and they were soggy AF with no seasoning. The pastele fries would be really good if they didn't come out completely soggy every time, and the fact the regular fries come out soggy I think there's little hope to ever have some crispy pastele fries unless you buy the pastele here, buy some fries somewhere else completely, and then take the dish home and bake the cheese on yourself lol read more

Crab stuffed ahi special was crispy and delicious, served with sauce and furikake for dipping and rice. Combo with garlic chicken and ahi was yummy too, nice and crispy served with salad and rice. Sorry no pictures. Gone before I thought of it. read more
Wanted to try this place because theres been such a big hype over the food, But it was just a big disappointment. There's seating inside which is great but they don't have a restroom for customers. The cashier gave off rude vibes when I first arrived and the workers were a little loud. When they laughed it sounded like a bunch of turkeys gobbling. Therefore we didn't dine in. We ordered the Garlic salmon, Spicy Ahi Katsu and the fish & chips. The garlic salmon was good, but it looked nothing like the presentation online. The Ahi Katsu and Fish & chips were pāpa`a (burnt) which makes sense because our food was ready within 10 minutes after placing our order. The Ahi Katsu was dry and had no flavor. The Mac salad tasted sweet like cake. It was a little weird. All the plates were more than $12. We were very disappointed in the quality of the food and the hype over this place is overrated. read more
I usually just pop in, to grab poke... but decided to phone order for dinner. Chose the special of the day, because I usually hear it's sold out; and smoked meat. I also ordered my usual poke favorites. I'm not sure what the "hype" is, with the tomato basil ono, but it is definitely not my jam. The sauce was a very basic cream sauce, but there was no flavor. The tomatoes were flavorless, and I think the basil was the dried spice. Additionally, the tomato skins were floating around in the sauce. The salad was the best part of this plate. The smoked meat plate was much better. Decent portion, not too fatty meat, good flavor. I do like the staff, they're usually very friendly. Unfortunately the older woman today, wasn't so much. read more
