This was the first and last spot I visited on my vacation, and I honestly can't express how good this place is. You just have to try it for yourself. I'll definitely keep coming back anytime I'm here. I got the Signature Shoyu Bowl with no shrimp, extra tuna, spicy mayo on the side, and extra sea asparagus. Everything tasted incredibly fresh and flavorful. The sea grapes weren't my favorite personally, but I'm still glad I tried them. read more

I always see line here when I passed by and wanted to give it a try. I just ordered classic tuna poke with salad base. The portion could be better. The fish was fresh and setting was casual. They gave outdoor bench and I could enjoy my food. read more

Wait, this place was a highlight of my trip. As soon as we landed and checked into our Airbnb, we stopped by Maguro, and the line was basically non-existent. We made the mistake of ordering online via the QR code in front of the store because we thought it would be easier, but the worker told us it is much faster to order at the cashier since there is a 15-minute hold for online orders before they start making them. Originally, I had ordered something else online, only to realize they had the Teriyaki Salmon bowl in person but not online. The staff member kindly helped me change my order, which I really appreciated. And thank goodness I changed my order because the Teriyaki Salmon bowl was so good. The meat-to-rice ratio was perfect, and it was not too saucy. It was the perfect welcome meal and lunch I needed. Since we were a large group of nine, my other party members ordered different items, and their reviews slightly differed from mine, as they felt the rice-to-protein ratio was a bit unbalanced, with too much rice, but overall still good. There is limited outdoor seating if you are lucky enough to grab a table, and the shop itself is small. read more

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!! read more

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. read more

Maguro Spot - Spicy spicy bowl - Seafood Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

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. :( read more

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. read more

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! read more

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! read more

Maguro Spot - Seafood Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

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. :) read more

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. read more

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. read more

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! read more

One of th best Poke places on the island. Definitely my favorite one i've had so far. I make a different combo everytime and really like the wasabi sauce they use. Service is fast and seating is limited. Theres usually a line out the door, but it moves quickly. If you're in the area and looking for some Poke, this is the spot! read more

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! read more

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. read more

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. read more

*updating review from 4 to 5* If this is a "must visit" for me when I'm in town it deserves a 5. Sad to see some of the 1&2 star reviews for poor service or quality once. I know that bad experience is what will resonate with most people, but would highly recommend to try a 2nd time because this is the best poke on Oahu in my opinion. We started coming here in 2022 when there was a daily line and fish sold out (not sure if it still happens daily), but the fish is super fresh and the variety they offer is second to none. You will not find another poke shop on the island that allows this much customization. That staff has always made recommendations for me stating this sauce or that wont mix well together which I appreciate. Ikura and Tobiko were both fresh and delicious (I'm very picky) and I will never not go here whenever I'm in town. read more

Maguro Spot - Spicy Hawaiian, Marlin and Tuna - Seafood Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Seems to always have a line but they're friendly and efficient I went twice so far since I'm staying nearby but I'm so glad I tried it! The first time I got a medium bowl with tuna and salmon in shoyu sauce on white rice with edamame, seaweed and cucumber (each topping is .75 cents). It was delicious but finished it fairly easily. Didn't care for the seaweed, a bit too salty for me The second time I got a large (2 ounces more fish) with tuna and salmon on sushi rice with ponzu sauce. I liked the ponzu sauce better and the sushi rice didn't heat up the fish as much which I liked. I got edamame, tofu and seaweed salad and definitely preferred the seaweed salad (1.50) to the other seaweed topping (.75). Quality seemed fresh both times and the price is great! Also got my food pretty quickly both times! Highly recommend this place is you're in the area. read more

Came around 11:30 on a Monday and there was a line out the door, but it moved pretty quickly so it wasn't too bad. Definitely pay attention to the size you order. I thought a medium would be a full meal, but it ended up feeling more like half a meal. I got the tuna and blue marlin. They claim everything is sourced fresh every morning and not frozen, and honestly I believe it. The fish was super soft and buttery, almost melt in your mouth. Toppings are where it gets a little questionable price wise. My sister got ikura for $4 and it was maybe around 12 pieces, which felt kind of steep for the amount. There's some seating behind the restaurant. The birds are a little crazy so don't leave any food out. Overall, the fish was very fresh and high quality. I would come again, but I'd probably skip the toppings next time. read more

Absolutely love this place! They have the best poke in Waikiki. My favorite is their ponzu and spicy Hawaiian combo with all in seafood. You won't regret it. Service is great and don't worry that line goes by pretty fast. Small spot but you can grab it to go and eat it at the beach. They do have a few small tables outside too. Come by and show the love! read more

Got to try this highly regarded Waikiki Beach poke spot and it didn't disappoint. It's mainly a friendly service grab-and-go, but it does have some outside tables to sit down. There is always a line here, but it was worth the wait. I tried the Spicy Spicy bowl and my wife tried the Ikura Salmon bowl. Both dishes were incredibly delicious. You could taste the freshness of the fish in every bite. The Ikura was outstanding. All other fish was cut into good size chunks and with just one bite, you could really understand the flavor notes of each fish. Absolutely delicious and I'll definitely be back. read more

We got to the Maguro Spot promptly around 9:15am, and we were the first ones in line! The line started getting longer right around 9:50 am, so I'm glad we got there in time for opening. My husband and I ordered two medium bowls: Signature Bowl (A): Light and refreshing mix of fresh fish and assorted veggies. I opted to add some pickled jalapeños for a kick. This is a good option for people who like natural flavors and want the ingredients to shine. Rainbow (C): This is the more classic "Americanized" poke bowl with wakame and teriyaki sauce and spicy mayo. If you're looking for a good entry point for the classic American palette, I'd recommend this one. We decided to walk back to our hotel to eat, but they had several outdoor picnic and patio tables to enjoy your poke. All in all, we enjoyed our poke experience at Maguro and highly recommend read more

Great spot for exceptionally fresh poke. I ordered a medium bowl with raw maguro, salmon, and blue marlin on sushi rice with cucumber and ginger with a mix of the house sauce and shoyu and it was amazing! The line was long when we got there, but it moved quickly. My friend wasn't sure if she'd like raw fish, so she ordered a bowl with cooked shrimp and tasted some of mine. Both bowls were delicious and she now likes raw fish! I'm sure we'll make it back there at least once more during our two week trip! read more

I haven't been able to eat poke the last few times I've been in Oahu. This time, I convinced my husband and our friend that we should try at least one poke spot. We got the special bowl with rainbow sauce, which is special mayo with teriyaki sauce. The portion was generous and I love the balance between the spicy mayo and the teriyaki sauce! We usually stay in Waikīkī so this spot is perfect coz I can just walk to this spot! Service is super quick! I have added this to my go-to spot in Oahu! read more

The line was kind of long at around 2pm on a Monday, but the staff were friendly and you can tell they are efficient and trying their best. Took about 30-40mins or so. It's a small little place on the corner without much seating inside. But there are a few tables outside. It's more of a pick up and go somewhere else. They have a lot of special bowls but I made my own. I got tuna and salmon with spicy shoyu and spicy mayo with a few toppings on brown rice. The poke was so big and fatty and melted in my mouth. I wish I had more fish but the price was reasonable. I just ended up with a lot of rice at the end that I could not finish. $12 for a medium bowl but you have to pay 75 cents for each topping. So mine ended up being $14.25. read more

I loved my poke bowl here! The line was really long and took about 40 minutes to order but it was worth it. The only downside is that the place looks really run down and I worry about the cleanliness of the place but so far it seems okay. I got the salmon and ikura poke bowl and it was so good! Very fresh salmon. I just wish the ikura wasn't so salty though. I would definitely come back and want to try the other bowls! read more

Everyone raves about the poke here and yes, it's that delicious, but I wanted to highlight their teriyaki salmon musubis. I went around 11am and there were still a few left so I snagged one to try and wowwwww these are so dang good. They mix teriyaki sauce into the rice and although it's a lot of rice, the rice is GOOD. Perfectly seasoned, warm, and flavorful. I could've easily eaten 2-3. For $2 each, it's pretty worth it. I also got their daily special roll - spicy tuna ($6) to try! read more

The fish was great and we went when the line was short, thankfully! I liked it, but after I realized the fish my cashier recommended had peanuts (allergy), they wouldn't give me another fish option.

Gone here probably 6 times in 8 days. Lines can be long but poke here is fresh and delicious. No marinating until you order so you can actually taste the freshness of the fish. We like the E All Hawaii bowl. It's very light but delicious. We love the sea grapes. It has a nice salty flavor to it. It goes so well with the fish. My son loves his all combination fish with shoyu and teriyaki sauce. Place is small so can't sit and eat. It's more of a togo place. My only complaint is on the first picture I showed how they do not cut out all the tissue/ tendon so it's chewy and I have to spit it out. It ruins it. read more

Really popular spot for fresh poke. Still great quality, not terrible lines. When you're looking for fresh fish close to Waikīkī, it's no secret that this place pops up quite high on the list, and for good reason: it's quick, it's affordable, and the quality is really good. Tuna is freshest in Hawaii, and I also got the chance to try the blue marlin in a poke mix. While I wouldn't recommend the spicy mayo sauce (maybe needs a bit of salt?), I thought the house sauce was really good. And despite being a salmon fan, I always try to get the tuna in Hawaii when I can, since it's just better and it's not close. The blue marlin tasted very clean, and overall just buying the poke and picking up some white rice from elsewhere leads to a pretty fair price for a clean, delicious meal. read more

This was our first meal after landing in Hawaii and it definitely did not disappoint! We ordered a medium poke bowl, half salmon and half tuna, with the rainbow sauce and it was delicious. The fish was extremely fresh and the creamy sauce was a perfect combo with the rice. The flavor was definitely there, but really wish the cubes of fish were cut more consistently - there were a lot of small little pieces and some really large pieces. Staff here are really nice and the food is affordable. Seating is a bit limited and the line/wait for food was a bit long, but it's still worth checking out! read more
