    A small little corner spot for really fresh poke. We got the tuna poke with spicy shoyu based and the salmon with spicy mayo based. It was so fresh and fatty. Fast service and they also have other snacks like other onigiris. You can get it just poke alone or with a bowl of rice. I love eating mine with shrimp chips so I just got it alone. It's the best snack to bring to the beach!!

    Our hotel happened to be next to this popular spot, so we were super excited to try it out. We stopped by for an early lunch and the line was really short. When we came back around 1 PM, the line had wrapped around the corner, so definitely recommend going during an off hour. We got an extra large spicy spicy special bowl to share. Generous amount of fish with nice cuts. The sauce was delicious and the seaweed salad, onion, cucumber, and edamame paired perfectly. Excellent poke; I would definitely come again! Total came out to $23.50 plus tax/tip.

    Had to really zoom in. A thin layer of poke.

    Not sure why folks are raving about this place. For $17, you get a whole lot of rice vs a balanced poke bowl. I prefer they charge more than skim out on the poke. Quality wise, the fish was decent and fresh. But again, nothing to rave about. I asked for sushi rice (vinegar rice) but they gave me plain white rice instead. :(

    Maguro Spot was our first poke spot on our trip to Hawai'i and it was... fine. The store itself is pretty small, and the line stretches out the door and down the street. We came on a Wednesday around... 6-7pm and waited about 20 minutes to get to the front of the line. I thought it was really cool that they serve blue marlin. You don't see that at every poke shop in California! I liked it actually- it had a nice meaty texture and natural sweetness to it. I built my own poke bowl, so in addition to the blue marlin, I got salmon and tuna on a bed of white rice with ponzu and spicy mayo.  Now before my trip to Hawai'i, I've always looked at people's poke bowls from Hawai'i online and wondered why there were so much less toppings than what I was used to. If you get a poke bowl in California, typically toppings such as green onions, crispy onions, masago, seaweed salad, etc are free. Some places will charge you for a scoop of crab meat and avocado and some places have these free as well. But after coming to Hawai'i, I understood why. It's not because these toppings aren't available - it's because they charge you for absolutely everything! Want green onions? 75 cents. Seaweed salad? A dollar fifty. Tobiko? 2 dollars. Avocado? $2.50!. If I were to build a poke bowl at Maguro Spot the same way I would in California, it would probably cost me upwards of $30.  But instead of getting all the toppings I usually would, I settled on 3: seaweed salad, avocado, and tobiko. All things considered, I thought my bowl was decent but did not live up to my expectations. I will say that the rainbow sauce is really good. I tried a bite of my friend's bowl with the rainbow sauce on it and regretted not getting it. It's a mix of spicy mayo and teriyaki sauce, and it's sooo good. Sweet, spicy, and creamy. If I ever come back, I would get a bowl with that sauce, but I probably wouldn't. The line is long even on a weekday night, and I don't think you're getting the best bang for your buck here.

    I love this spot lol. The fish feels so FRESH! Definitely recommend the Marlin and Tuna. Only complaint I have is the rice to fish ratio felt so off and it was just heavy on the rice side. Service was quick and simple. Sat outside on the benches next to the shop and it was fine!

    Fish was fresh and reasonably priced! Wish the sauce was just a tad thicker and the meat a little more salted - the line was out the door onto the street! Came here by recommendation from someone who frequents Hawaii and a local as well. Enjoyed the ample outdoor seating, and so close to Waikiki beach! Service was great, we were served with all smiles and a friendly aloha!

    Built my own poke bowl with tuna, blue marlin, wasabi shoyu, and sea grapes -- and it was amazing! The fish was fresh and tender, the wasabi added a nice kick, and the sea grapes were surprisingly fun with no fishy taste. My friends' bowls were tasty too, but some add-ons like ikura ($4) and avocado ($2.50) felt a bit skimpy for the price. Overall, great experience! I'll definitely get sea grapes again! Simple builds are worth it; extra toppings aren't necessary. :)

    Great service. The guy upfront was super cool and helpful. Small little spot for just grab and go. If you're dropped off make sure you go around that sign to the left and that's where the line starts. After I ordered I directed people to the line and the worker thanked me and showed appreciation he was cool. Solid poke bowl the rice was pretty warm which was. A surprise.. kinda wish it was room temp as it heated the fish a bit. Very very fresh fish.. for a decently affordable price. I'd say it's better than Foodland but honestly not by a ton. It def hit the spot. The ask what fishes you want and what sauces and they mix it together. I got the largest one and smashed it all in one sitting I'd rate it a solid 8.6/10 wasn't the best bowl I've ever had but was very very good I would go back to try more.

    Spicy Shoyu w Salmon and Blue Marlin

    We visited at an off-hour around 4pm, hoping the line won't be too crazy, but there was still a line haha. Not too bad though, we maybe waited 15mins? It was moving at a good pace at least. Looking at their menu, it honestly looks kind of overwhelming cause they offer so many things and many types of fishes, sauces, styles, etc. We ended up choosing the Spicy Shoyu with Salmon & Blue Marlin. Overall, the fish was pretty nice! Price were pretty good too for Hawaii. Although, I couldn't really tell the difference between having the Salmon and the Blue Marlin, so they were kinda the same to me. It was a good poke snack to have. The store itself is rather very small, but there are plenty of shared benches right outside of it. It is kind of dirty and not as maintained, but still not bad.

    My favorite poke in Oahu, so fresh delicious simple, and generous portions. the lines move fast and they are popular for a reason. Wide selection of toppings and would say this is a must eat spot on the island. There is not too much seating, the location is a small walk through ordering system. but we loved taking our bowls to go and eating the fresh poke on the beach!

    Came here twice during my vacation. Def long lines but moves pretty fast! Would recommend going on a weekday. First time was a 5/5 (my first poke in Hawaii) and second time was 4/5. Both super good but probably more biased for the first time. Fish quality is great and you can still taste the fish even with the sauces. Portion sizes are on the smaller side but still reasonable. Good amount of seating outside and also across from the Musubi store!

    Long lines but good poke in the Waikiki area. Walked here from the hotel - line wrapped around and outside the restaurant for a good while at 2 pm. Took about 30 minutes to order. Got a medium - which was really a small (in my mainland mind) as the bowl was not stuffed to the brim. Taste was good though and fish was fresh - would definitely super size one level next time around.

    My 1 piece of cucumber.
    Delilah D.

    Genuinely don't understand the hype. The worst bowl of poke I've had. Stale rice, I asked for salmon and tuna, only got tuna and I "paid" for cucumbers and I got 1 coin cut in half. So a sliver. Also gave me seaweed instead of seaweed salad. Not worth it. Not good.

The ahi tasted super fresh and since we got there right when they opened, it was even better. They have a small parking lot with just a handful of spots. Getting there early, parking wasn't a problem at all. They have some tables outside so we were able to eat it there before taking off for the airport. Definitely more of a takeout spot. We didn't spend much time in the area, so it was the last meal we had before taking off to the airport and I couldn't think of a better meal to end an amazing trip. If I was staying nearby, I definitely would've come here more than once!

Only outdoor seating directly in front of the shop was provided, but luckily we beat the lunch rush and got two tables for our group. Everyone enjoyed what they ordered.

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.
