The spicy ahi was the clear standout of the two, super fresh, packed with flavor, and dressed just right, not drowning in sauce like a lot of places tend to do. Service is fast and friendly, no waiting around even when it's busy. Ambience is casual, this is a quick in and out spot to grab your poke and go, not a sit down kind of place. If you're in Honolulu and want some of the best poke around, this is the go to.

Background On Visit: Heard great things about this shop from friends on the mainland. So decided to…read morepatronize the shop after hiking Diamond Head. Credit Card: They're accepted. Parking: Parking is a bit limited up front in the shared lot, but you can find street parking along Kapahulu or residential parking on Winam Ave.. Ambiance/Decor: Not much ambiance, but I do like their "We Love Poke" mural. Limited seating up front in their outdoor patio. Service: Service was alright. Food was ready be picked up at a decent time. Poke Of Choice: 1) Shoyu Poke: Thought the ahi was okay. Didn't really like the sauce. Would've been a better eating experience if they used sushi rice instead of jasmine. and the ahi pieces were smaller Ono Seafood For Thought: Might be a one timer for me, but for others, you guys should try it at least once.

Considering how expensive poke is here, you expect it to be incredible at these prices, it needs to be. Honestly, I'd rather go across the street and eat Safeway poke, which says a lot. For what they're charging, it's just not worth it.

Be sure to follow them on IG to get a free topping! I got a salmon and tuna poke bowl with sushi rice. The fish was super fresh, which I appreciated, but overall I didn't think this poke was a standout. They could use more sauce as it tasted a bit plain. I found myself adding in shoyu to get more flavor. Decent for if you're in the area and craving poke.

Ambience is casual, small indoor seating plus a picnic table out front, perfect for grabbing food and going or sitting down for a few minutes.

The menu is straightforward and the display case shows all the poke styles available. We ordered two poke bowls - one shoyu poke bowl and another bowl with half shoyu and half California. Each poke bowl was $20. The poke bowls come with two scoops of rice and toppings of furikake, sauce, and some crunchy bits. The poke was fresh and delicious. There is a table bench outside to enjoy your poke. Overall, it was good and we'll be back to try the shave ice! Happy Eating!

Of course I would come to the market again but the poke today should have been called sashimi. Anyways I am sure it was just an off day. Until I return we will see.

Musubi Cafe is such a fun, local gem, but be ready for a wait. We went early, midday timing, and…read morethe line was already about 15 people with roughly a 30 minute wait. It moves steadily though, and it is worth it. Inside is tiny, just one small table, so this is really an order and go kind of place rather than somewhere to sit and eat. They have every musubi combination you could think of, unagi, avocado, cucumber, egg, bacon, ume, tofu skin, shrimp, you name it. I got the tuna mayo onigiri and wished they had packed in a little more tuna filling, but it was still tasty. I also tried the cucumber spam musubi, which was really good too. We came as a group of seven and everyone ordered something different, and everyone loved every bite. My tip: get at least two musubis per person. A few people in our group got four each and had zero regrets. One thing to know ahead of time is parking. It is street parking only and pretty limited, so plan for that if you are driving. Overall such an easy, yummy stop and a great local experience in Waikiki.

We decided to come back the next day and order the "Double Tuna," thinking it would actually have double the tuna. Instead, it seemed like the same small amount of tuna with double the rice! We ordered around eight of them, so it was especially disappointing to find that they were mostly rice. The portions just don't feel balanced. If someone pays extra for "Double Tuna," they're expecting more tuna, NOT extra rice. Unfortunately, it felt like they were really skimping on the filling, and the quality didn't live up to the hype for us.

Ali'i Fish Market is my absolute favorite poke place, which is high praise coming from anyone born…read moreand raised in Hawai'i. What stands out to me is their variety of unique flavors - even your basic shoyu or spicy ahi poke has a more creative and/or elevated version here! The Yuzu Shiso Ahi poke is my single favorite poke I've ever tried from anywhere; this combination is absolutely genius and feels tailor-made for me, as someone who loves these two flavors! They've also recently added a Kaffir Lemongrass Ahi poke that I love as well - you get exactly what the name suggests, which is bright, fresh, and full of flavor. The fish itself is always great quality; the flavor is always fresh despite the texture sometimes (rarely) having some tough parts. The prices are reasonable too, though I usually prefer ordering 1/2 or 1/4 pound of poke along with another side dish instead of a poke bowl. They have great sides like the Fish Patty Musubi or Inari Sushi, but I really hope they bring back the Grilled Musubi soon!!! Although the shop itself is very small and can get crowded quickly, the staff are always super friendly and efficient. As you can probably tell, I have nothing but love for Ali'i and would recommend them for any fan of poke!

I love the options of poke bowl, poke nachos, and poke by the pound.

Service was fast and I loved how this place was conveniently located inside the Ilikai hotel, where I'm staying because it's just an elevator ride away but also great for anyone not staging at the hotel and walking by since it's right around the corner from the front entrance.
