If you're in Poipu, the Koloa Fish Market is the go-to spot for some of the best poke in the area…read more Be sure to arrive early because this place gets busy. Like most popular poke shops, it's best to know what you want before you get to the counter, or you might feel a little rushed. The line can get long, but it moves quickly. There are plenty of poke options to choose from, and the Kalua pork is another must-try. Parking can be a bit tricky, so be prepared to circle or wait for a spot. There are covered outdoor tables where you can enjoy your meal. The staff is friendly, and it's a good idea to bring cash.

We stopped by for a late lunch and decided to split a plate so we could save room for dinner. As it…read moreturned out, we didn't need to worry the portion was more than enough for the two of us, and we ended up surprisingly full. The staff was fast and friendly, and our food arrived quickly. It was a simple, satisfying meal that hit the spot without feeling overly heavy. The setting is beautiful, and there are plenty of shops nearby, so it's easy to make an afternoon of it- grab a bite, enjoy the surroundings, and explore the area afterward.

This market has everything you could need, including a juice bar that also serves acai bowls…read more(Anake's Juice Bar), flower stand, and poke spot (Lawai'a Fish Co) inside. The acai bowl place as poppin', I'll definitely have to come back and try it. They also sold juice shots from Kauai Juice Co and mason jars with overnight oats in all different flavors. We opted to get the PB and banana one, excited to give it a try. They sell tons of local products and meats. Unfortunately no local Kaua'i eggs sold here, go to Hoku market for that. They also sell Gina's banana bread for $8.50 near the register, they are huge portions and she doesn't skimp on the nuts, very tasty!! Next to the poke, they also have a food warmer stocked with to-go hot breakfast bentos as well as musubi. Wish I knew that earlier during my trip!

We got there at a good time line was minimal and we brought the crowd with us once again lol. Honestly didnt know what to get because I was overwhelmed by all the different choices available everything looked so good but I always have a default 2choice poke bowl with anything spicy ahi, and got there gingah spread ahi. You can also choose different toppings for your bowl and of course why not get all of them to compliment the fresh poke even more. The ahi was super fresh and ONO (delicious) melt in your mouth kine action so soft. This is one of those stops when you first land "next stop lawai'a" lol iykyk. 300

Automatic 5 stars for me for Lawai'a Fish Co…read more Stopped here otw back to the airport for a quick lunch & was amazed by the plate lunches options, poke (tofu poke too), and even bakery items here. There was a small line when we arrived, but it moved very quickly. Decided to get their 2 choice poke bowl - with all rice, poke choices I got were da ginger one & spicy ahi.. and of course I got all the toppings (which are included). My poke bowl was super good. Da ginger one poke was by far my favorite!! Can tell the fish is super fresh since it has that melt in your mouth texture that every local craves. This is definitely gonna be my first stop on my next visit back to Kauai!

Best service EVER! Best food EVER!!!…read moreGreat place! Thank you again ! The best is your open all the time! The park is fun too!

This is a must eat in Wimea. It is not fast food. It is good food…read more Great service. And the perfect location right in Wimea. Be sure to stop in if you are in the area and they are open. Not a crappy chain restaurant. Looks and feels like a family owned local spot. Highly recommend.

We…read moreordered ahead and they mentioned about 15-20 minute wait, which was a little bit longer than that but worth it, just plan about 5-10 extra mins.

One great thing about it is that it's actually open, whereas lots of places on the north shore are closed randomly and closed early, so this is always a rock solid staple place to get yummy food. 4 star only because I tend to leave with a stomach ache - I presume from the seed oils that I'm not used to eating

June 2026 I loved…read morethis small and quaint super market. We grabbed the poke bowl and a few bento boxes to go. The poke was delicious! It had just a hint of sesame seed oil and that made it so fabulous.

Wow. What a gem of a place we spontaneously stumbled into. We must have arrived at a great (and…read morelucky) time because there was only one person ahead of us, and we got our food relatively fast. We ordered the beer battered shrimp, garlic shrimp, and cajun shrimp, and all three exceeded expectations. For the price, I was genuinely shocked by the quantity given. I came in expecting to order more, but it was very plentiful and well-priced. My only feedback is that I wished the cajun shrimp had a bit more of a kick. The extra heat was there, but I found myself wanting just a little more. Medium spice would have probably been my sweet spot. No notes on the garlic shrimp though, as it delivered exactly as described. That garlic and olive oil combination? Yum. The beer battered shrimp, however, was surprisingly good. I didn't expect to like it as much as I did. It was simple, yet perfect. Think Long John Silver's fried shrimp, but better, done right, and insanely good. Here's a fun fact: we actually only ordered two plates the first time, loved it so much that we went back and ordered another. Yes, it was that good. As I'm typing this review back at home, I'm already salivating thinking about going back for another bite. Overall, this place was phenomenal and we'd return in a heartbeat. I'm aware it tends to get busy, and we definitely got lucky with our timing. Note: the food is great, but I personally wouldn't wait in a long line for it. That said, if there are only one or two people ahead of you, absolutely swing by. And beyond the food, the staff, from the cashier to everyone in the back, were a total delight and made the whole experience feel warm and homey.

Are you kidding me?…read more Apparently this is a locals spot and I somehow stumbled upon it. DELICIOUS. WORTH THE MONEY. CHEAP. BEST POKE EVER!! The line was so long all 3 times we went here and we would have waited 4 times the length because of how good it was. It was so good I didn't take pictures lol The staff is so flippin nice and friendly plus they give huge portions. There is a small parking lot with a few stray cats that try to bug customers for seafood (and won with us). Definitely swing by this place while visiting!
