Located right near the Hyatt Centric hotel and open pretty late, Kai Poke Waikiki was a pleasant surprise through its poke bowl that hit the spot after a long evening of activities. Service was pleasant and efficient in this bright, clean storefront. Ordering was easy for a custom poke bowl, and is basically choosing 1,2 or 3 scoops of poke, with the sides being preset and included seaweed salad, edamame, and sliced cucumbers. We also got the free optional fried garlic chips. The spicy ahi poke was creamy and tender, and the shoyu poke was well-seasoned with shoyu, ogo, onion, and sesame oil. There are a variety of other preset poke combination bowls, as well as sashimi and sushi choices. The size of the poke bowl was moderate for the price point, but overall, it was a good experience and Kai Poke fills a particular niche. read more

Food (4/5): The poke bowl is solid and I like how you can add a bunch of veggies unlike other Hawaiian places which is mostly just the rice and fish. The seasoning on the fish wasn't my favorite but still good. Service (5/5): No issues with the service and the lady did a good job of quickly making our poke bowl. Ambiance (5/5): Chill poke shop vibes with decent amount of tables and chairs inside for seating. The island music is great for relaxing while eating. read more

I needed my poke fix while in Hawaii. This place was across the street from my stay, so it was so convenient. I ordered the small portion of Hawaiian and shoyu flavor, I think. It was soooo good I was tempted to get it again for dinner. It tasted very fresh and not fishy at all. I would recommend this place to anyone! read more

For the price and the quality of the poke, it was underwhelming. The poke is expensive, yet the portions are small (one tiny scoop!), fish isn't as marinated as other poke shops, and I suspect the fish isn't fresh :( ... I got a small poke bowl ($16.99) which comes with two poke styles of your choice. Base choice of sushi rice, brown rice, and green salad. I chose the Hawaiian Ahi and California Ahi with sushi rice. You also get choices for a free side: I chose seaweed salad and crab mayo (paid additional $1.50 for this crab mayo). They also give you a free sauce on the side. Service is good and ambiance of the shop is cute. The fish here was just disappointing and doesn't compare to other poke shops. read more

Do you like a premium-quality poke bowl? Look no further. Service is amazing, food is tasty, my favorite poke place in Waikiki! My favorite is their spicy salmon, personally, I find it better than the spicy tuna as it is a bit fattier while the tuna feels a bit mushier. I typically add on avocado, crab mayo, tobiko, and cucumber. Kai, meaning ocean, really fits the theme for the poke bar with ocean waves decor. Gives it a very touristy feel but nonetheless a very beautiful interior design. Staff are very friendly and give decent portion sizes. I've been here on numerous occasions and some of the staff know me now and my go-to order! read more

3.5 stars Pro: the lady who got us our food was nice. There are a lot of toppings you can add. Conveniently located. Con: the portion was so skimpy. The price is steep, but the amount of fish you get is pretty mediocre. The fish is also not very seasoned, so it wasn't very good. Overall, it's just ok... there are many other places to get poke in Waikiki, so I wouldn't go back. read more

They have pretty good fish for the poke and they also offer a variety of inari (rice with toppings wrapped in sweet tofu skin).

Looking for something grab & go but is actually filling, healthy and most of all fresh?! Then this is it. Conveniently located besides Ross, there's plenty street parking as well as a parking structure shared with other businesses. Kai Poke offers a "create your own" poke bowl with plenty of choices and they give you the right amount of servings. They also offer açaí bowls and "Kai Chef Specials" if you aren't sure of what to choose. Since I don't eat raw (I know I know Boo!) I was able to "create my own bowl" by choosing Kai Rice, Garlic Shrimp, Ginger, Crab Mayo and Miso Soup! I can't get enough of their Kai Rice, I'm not sure if its the garlic or the sesame oil but it just really elevated the flavors of my bowl although I only have a few toppings. DO NOT forget to get their Pineapple Iced Tea! It comes with pineapple chunks (that I will surely copy at home). They also sell some resin/epoxy wave ocean artworks that is the same as their table. (Talk about those instagram food photos)--- and those table costs $800 each. Thank you so much for the efficient staff that keeps the line going. The chef came out and greeted us as well. Will definitely be a regular customer when I'm in the area. read more

I ordered the Lemon Salmon, Hawaiian salmon, and Hawaiian Ahi mix Poke and it tasted so good! Super fresh fish and seasoning to the point. I also enjoy that you put on any type of toppings free. The staff was very hospitable, and open kitchen was immaculate, this fact made me have more confidence in the establishment. The sit down areas are abundant enough inside, much higher than what most of your average poke places would offer, and they are open late enough that I know I will be returning numerous times! read more

This was a great place near my hotel (Outrigger Beachcomber Waikīkī -- that gets five stars, too! -- that I happened to find because the Ross Dress For Less was my tour pick-up spot and Kai Poke is right next-door, LOL. The girl behind the counter was very nice and I got a three-fish (octopus, Hawaiian ahi, spicy salmon) bowl to go. Seaweed salad is my jam, so I asked her to add a little bit more, which she was happy to do. The whole thing including tip was $24.50, and you'd be hard-pressed to find a seafood meal that fresh and good at that price anywhere else in Waikīkī! The next time I'm back, I will definitely hit up Kai Poke more often! read more

Kai Poke is a fantastic spot to enjoy fresh and flavorful poke bowls. They offer a Mini Poke for $12.99, which comes with one protein--my favorite being the lemon shoyu salmon. The combination of zesty lemon and savory shoyu with the fresh salmon is simply delightful but they don't have scallop or crab!!! I like the other poke place more in the Alomoana mall but, the location is conveniently close to all the action, making it a great choice for a quick and satisfying meal. Highly recommend giving it a try if you need a small bite to keep you going. read more

This spot is quick and conveniently located close to where I work. I usually come here once a week. I love that they make your poke bowl right in front of you ( it's similar to like subway/pieology). They have a great selection of pokes to choose from as well as additional toppings. I always get spicy tuna over sushi rice with wakame salad, crab mayo, and a couple slices of avocado. Sometimes the sushi rice is a little bit on the warm side, probably because it was made fresh. I prefer my sushi rice not to be warm. Other than that, I would say to check this place out! read more

THIS PLACE IS SO GOOD. I'm so glad I got to try it. The fish was incredibly fresh and soft…read more I only got to eat here once because they were closed on Mother's Day, and I was so disappointed since I tried to come back. I'll definitely be back next time I visit. 10/10

The restaurant was pretty cute both outside and inside, and I could tell it draws a good crowd for football games, which is a plus. For the poke bowls, we got the Spicy Shoyu Ahi, Furikake Salmon, and Ultimate. Overall, they were pretty good and decent bowls. I liked that there was a condiment bar at the end to add any toppings you wanted. The fish was fresh and well seasoned, with no fishiness at all. I just wished there was a bit more white onion for crunch, but it was good regardless. The Fish and Chips were really good. The fish was super crispy, the meat was firm, and the fries were nicely fried. The tartar sauce or maybe more of a lemony aioli, was the star. It wasn't your usual tartar sauce; it had a homemade lemony sweetness that made it delicious. My only complaint was that the batter came off the fish pretty easily, which made it a bit tricky to eat at times.

It's busy since relatively early in the day but ordering process was seamless and they got the order pretty quick. Your number would be called when everything's ready. Their menu was rich that you had tons to pick from. Price was decent for the size as well. Our picks were the salmon ikura and spam shrimp avocado. Both were so good and our highlight would certainly be how they nailed the sauce.

My favorites are the avocado/eel-egg and inari (bean curd)-egg Musubi. The teriyaki and black pepper musubis are also delicious. I love that it's made to order so everything you get is fresh and hot! I recommend going in evening because it's less busy. I tried coming back the next morning and the line was out the door. They have a cute speaker system to call out your order number lol. Everyone is so friendly here. I wished I visited this place a lot sooner! It was conveniently located from my hotel and the beach, ~10 min walk.

Fresh local poke at pretty good prices…read more We got their most popular options: the crunchy garlic ahi poke and the spicy salmon. The crunchy garlic ahi was our favorite, great texture, super flavorful, and just really satisfying. The spicy salmon was also solid and hit the spot. We also added on the chicken (kind of like karaage). Not sure if it was just our timing, but it took a long time and ended up a bit overcooked. Ours was on the dry/hard side, so I probably wouldn't get that again. Overall, I'd 100% come back for the poke. The staff was really nice, she let us try a few different flavors and was super helpful. The space is pretty small with only a couple little tables, so it gets busy fast and the line can go out the door, but it's worth it for the poke.

I bought the creamy garlic ahi, spicy ahi, smoked shoyu ahi w/ lechon, and ahi patties. I literally took a bite and went to heaven. This place takes poke to another level with so many innovative flavors and tastes. The fish is truly fresh and I savored every bite! The fish is so onolicious I bought some to bring back to the SF Bay Area. Shout out to Sabrina who provided excellent customer service and wrapped it up for me to bring back to Cali! This will now be my go to place when I return for my vacations. Support this establishment. Customer service and food quality at a very reasonable price is unbeatable. Trust me- you will not regret it!

Typically, I like a salad base. I forgot to say earlier because they had already stacked my bowl with the sushi rice base, but I asked the cashier if I could get a salad base with unagi side sauce instead. They were accepting and said they could stack the salad on top. I didn't get the unagi sauce in the moment, but I wasn't upset either because I enjoy salad without sauce too. To my shock, they remembered I asked, found us, and brought it out to our table! 20/10 service, 20/10 poke
