Poké Bar was the first stop my husband and I made in Hawaii, and it definitely hit the spot. We…read morewere craving fresh poke, and this place delivered. Like most poke spots, you build your own bowl--choosing your base, fish, sauces, and toppings--but what stood out was how generous they were with the portions. They really load up the fish and give you a full, satisfying bowl, which I appreciated. Overall, it was a great first meal on the island, and I'd definitely recommend stopping by if you're looking for fresh, flavorful poke.

So delicious, I had to go twice!…read more It's not a Hawaii/Oahu trip without some delicious poke! I really wanted to hit up foodland. But since I didn't have a car and I didn't feel like walking one mile to foodland, i decided to walk around and check out the closer spots. And there i saw it. A poke spot that had a short line going inside. Hopped on Yelp to see what people said and... Looks like i found my poke spot! I got a Large Special Rainbow - comes with tuna, salmon, and bluefin, white rice, the rainbow sauce (spicy mayo and teriyaki mix), and cucumber and seaweed salad. So fresh and so flavorful. Highly recommend. Washed it down with a hawaiian sun. Price: $24.73. Worth it! Service: Friendly. They'll have your food out in no time. Pretty narrow spot. After you're done ordering, you wait on the side for them to call your number. And there are a couple tables and chairs right outside their store, and an eating area just around the corner. But like i said.. had to get it twice. So good! I miss it already. Will I be back? Oh heck yes! I'm still thinking about that poke bowl. I'll see you when I visit Maguro Spot!

Things to know: no place to sit (one outside table with 3 chairs is all they have); no cash, card only; the fish is flown fresh from Japan. Now I don't know if all fish is actually from Japan and how true it is, but I did see some styrofoam shipping containers with US agriculture and US customs tape so I believe it. We ordered the macadamia aburi salmon which was a top tier combination of torched salmon, macadamia and a delicious sauce, and yuzu miso poke with ahi which had tuna so fresh it was just melting in your mouth. I also thought it was priced pretty reasonably compared to other poke places I tried in Waikiki, and portions were not huge but decent with lots of fish. I wish I had discovered this place a bit earlier in my trip because I would 100% come back for more.

We had poke almost everyday from different places during our visit, so we got to try a few, and Sato Seafood definitely stood out. We tried 4 different poke options here, but my absolute favorite was the ahi yuzu miso. The citrus flavor was so good, and if you like ponzu, I'd definitely recommend trying this one! Everything tasted very fresh, and the rice-to-fish ratio was perfect! There was just enough rice to have a piece or two of fish with each bite and a little fish left over. The two workers were very nice and friendly, which made both visits even better. The only thing I wish was a little different is if the toppings weren't so much extra. Once you start adding a few toppings, it adds up pretty quickly. Overall, we really enjoyed Sato Seafood and would love to go back.

You won't be disappointed!

Musubi Cafe is such a fun, local gem, but be ready for a wait. We went early, midday timing, and…read morethe line was already about 15 people with roughly a 30 minute wait. It moves steadily though, and it is worth it. Inside is tiny, just one small table, so this is really an order and go kind of place rather than somewhere to sit and eat. They have every musubi combination you could think of, unagi, avocado, cucumber, egg, bacon, ume, tofu skin, shrimp, you name it. I got the tuna mayo onigiri and wished they had packed in a little more tuna filling, but it was still tasty. I also tried the cucumber spam musubi, which was really good too. We came as a group of seven and everyone ordered something different, and everyone loved every bite. My tip: get at least two musubis per person. A few people in our group got four each and had zero regrets. One thing to know ahead of time is parking. It is street parking only and pretty limited, so plan for that if you are driving. Overall such an easy, yummy stop and a great local experience in Waikiki.

There are other similar businesses all set up in this space and it seems like a great place to hang out with your friends or meet new people! My friend and I ended up having a conversation with another tourist who is from Australia. The sweet yuzu glaze salmon was a bit fishy tasting but the yuzu flavour was really nice. The original garlic shoyu ahi was less unique in terms of taste but the fish seemed fresher. I think I would give this place a 3.5/5!

My palate isn't too decerning but I couldn't sense a huge difference between the blue fin toro and the chutoro.

It was slightly sweet and melted in my mouth. I'm not sure I would go again, but the fish wasn't too fishy and felt very clean. We waiting about 10-15 minutes for dinner.

Service was fast and I loved how this place was conveniently located inside the Ilikai hotel, where I'm staying because it's just an elevator ride away but also great for anyone not staging at the hotel and walking by since it's right around the corner from the front entrance.
