    Line moves so fast; we ordered their Signature bowl and spicy spicy bowl. Their poke was just so good and fresh. We ordered our poke to go, but they have some picnic tables outside. We can't say enough about how fresh the fish (tuna, salmon, blue marlin) and all of the other ingredients and sauce are.

    Their poke was just delightful! I did forget to take a picture, they had a long line and we were excited to eat. We had salmon spicy mayo and teriyaki sauce. Our second order was a combo of salmon, tuna and blue marlin in their Hawaiian sauce- which I literally love. Imagine that seafood freshness, with the bold flavor of sesame oil combined with the saltiness of the seaweed playing in your mouth! They do not marinade the fish... the only time the fosh and sauce meats is when you order eat, hence, you are able to taste the fish and the sauce.

    The best poke place in Waikiki! They have a sign outside talking about how fresh their fish is, and there's almost always a line out the door. The good news is that the line moves quickly because it's set up almost like an assembly line, and most people get their poke to go. They do have a few picnic tables outside if you want to eat there. You start by choosing the size of your bowl, your fish, type of rice, sauce, and whatever toppings you want. They have tuna, salmon, blue marlin, and shrimp. For rice, you can choose white rice, brown rice, or sushi rice. They also have several shoyu-based sauces and mayo-based sauces. For toppings, they offer cucumber, ginger, sea asparagus, avocado, and more. They also offer a few specialty bowls if you'd rather order something with a set list of ingredients. I always go for the tuna with their house sauce because Hawaiian tuna is the best! I liked this place so much that I came back multiple times during my stay. I can't say enough about how fresh the fish and all of the other ingredients are. Since they don't marinate the fish, you really get to enjoy the natural flavor of the fresh fish. It's clear they're not trying to cover anything up--the quality speaks for itself. And when they're out of something, they're out, which is another good sign that they're focused on serving fresh ingredients. Definitely worth stopping by if you're looking for some seriously fresh poke in Waikiki!

    This spot is way overhyped. I don't see how there's always a long line outside. Every single time I come by, there's a line. The fish doesn't taste that fresh. The rice was cold as ice. Small portions and it cost extra to separate something. I just wanted my avocado on the side and it would've costed me. Honestly, I would skip this spot unless there is no line and you're curious. The shop is small, you choose what you want, pay and find yourself a seat outdoors. Those outdoor seatings? Pretty sure nobody cleans them and the birds are all over it. I was literally scared to eat my food there bc they kept coming near me.

    (4.5 STARS) Incredibly fresh and delicious poke! Their tuna and blue marlin are locally sourced and delivered fresh every morning. The line is usually out the door, but don't let that intimidate you- it moves surprisingly quickly! // Build Your Own Poke Bowl We ordered one medium and one large Build Your Own Poke Bowl. You can choose the "all mix" option, which includes tuna, salmon, blue marlin, and shrimp. I never thought there could be such a noticeable difference between poke bowls until I came here. The fish was exceptionally fresh, and because it's not pre-marinated, the texture really shines. You get to choose your own sauces, and they were perfectly balanced with just the right amount of salt and umami- some poke places can be overwhelmingly salty, but not here. Every bite left me wanting more :) My only minor critique is that I would've preferred a slightly higher poke-to-rice ratio. That said, the quality of the fish more than makes up for it, and I'd happily come back again. A medium and large bowl came out to about $32 with our selected toppings. There are a few outdoor tables around the corner, but I'd recommend planning for takeout. Parking is also very tricky in this general area. Overall, super yummy and refreshing lunch option!

    Maguro Spot had a lot of hype so of course we had to try when we were here. It was good but it wasn't anything special in my opinion. The fish itself is VERY fresh and amazing quality. But as for the poke, it lacks flavor. It's sort of bland. We put a lot of different sauces & it was still sort of bland. They also said make sure to ask if you don't want the furikake on top. I did mention that, and they still put it. When we mentioned it to them they were like it's just sesame seeds. Well ok I specifically asked for it without it. Also, the tables right outside aren't very clean. Not my fave but also not bad overall! Considering how quality their fish is.

    Medium Ahi bowl with Rainbow Sauce and Sushi Rice

    On the corner of Kuhio and Uluniu is a pink building with a little hole in the wall poke shop that has the most fresh and tender ahi in Waikiki. Pro tip: follow Maguro Spot on Instagram, the link in their bio allows you to order online so its ready for pick up. Sometimes the line can wrap around the whole block! If you do wait in line though, it's definitely worth it! The have tables and chair to enjoy your meal on site. But I took mine to go and ate it in the car with the AC on full blast. My go to order is either a medium or large, ahi with rainbow sauce (spicy mayo + teriyaki) on sushi rice. Sometimes I add cucumbers. 10/10

    Long lines but worth it

    If you're looking for the real deal, Poke in Waikiki Hawaii this place is on point. Every time we passed through there headed to the beach, the lines were out the door so we had to check it out. We peaked in and gave it a chance and it was no turning back once you go Margo spot you will never turn back. The fish is sourced from the fish market every morning super super super fresh. They even had super fresh Marlin that was buttery. They even have seagrapes (reminds me of my childhood) amazing place must try when you're in Waikiki Hawaii blew my mind. Wow. Epic experience and service was quick and friendly.

    Yummmmm I wish I had known about Maguro Spot from day one. This was my favorite poke of the trip. Something's that's important to note is I am a bit of a purist when it comes to my fish and I don't want it to be drenched in sauce (which absolutely is also delicious and there are plenty of places where you can find that!) Maguro Spot doesn't pre marinate the fish so everything is extra fresh, you can tell. We did two build your own bowls and they gave us great suggestions. Unfortunately they were out of marlin, but the tuna and salmon were delicious. There will probably be a line when you get but it goes by super quickly. I also loved that they have sizes for the poke bowls (small, medium, large, XL).

    Great takeaway for lunch on da beach. Takeaway preorder is only through Instagram, which I have not done before but worked fine. Prepared quickly and at committed time during crowded holiday. Poke tuna bowl with fresh ahi was fresh and "sushi rice" was on point. I had mine with cucumbers, onions, edamame, and seaweed. Delicious and refreshing with a crisp ice cold Sapporo under our shade tent :) Location is about three blocks off the beach. Ambiance is walk through counter style with picnic tables outside and lots of people as it is good. Mahalo

    09.05.2026 @2:40pm Constantly see a line when pass by and since today is our last full day here and finish all our scheduled literally, we went on the line and was well worth it. Really fresh and very fair price base on everything else in the island. This is the kind of business that we all should support. Provide A+ quality and not greedy with $$

    Shared an XL bowl with sushi rice, tuna, salmon, blue marlin, and spicy mayo + rainbow sauces. Sushi rice had good flavor and texture. The fish chunks were generous but I should've gotten one sauce instead of two sauces because I felt like it was a little too saucy to where it masked the fish flavor. Overall a decent spot for poke if in the area.

    Hanaah F.

    Long line especially in the evening, but the line goes by pretty quickly. Their service is pretty efficient. You can build your own bowl, and the poké is all very fresh and delicious. Very small restaurant, pretty much order and go. Should go early morning to avoid the start of the long line if you're short for time. Parking is along the streets, but also very challenging and crowded. There are nearby lots for paid parking, but can still be difficult.

I was able to experiment with different flavors with the Old Bay seasoning, garlic mayo, lemon, and butter. The garlic mayo was surprisingly good with the lobster. You can also throw the Old Bay seasoning on the chips if you're in the mood. The price is pretty steep which was my mistake. I don't know what I was expecting when ordering lobster in Waikiki.

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.
