Lives up to the hype for sure, though very pricey for the portion. I got a mini bowl with Hawaiian style poke and salad for $19 total. However, the flavors were balanced, and the freshness was evident from the non-slimy texture and meatiness of the ahi. The salad was a refreshing complement to the poke. The optional toppings (I said yes to all) added more crunch and flavor without overwhelming the star of the dish, aka the lovely tuna. The shop seemed tiny. You order at the front door/window where you can see the menu and the display case of the very few poke options offered. Staff worked quickly, as my order was basically ready after paying. 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'd definitely come back for the poke. Location was in a quiet part of Honolulu that seemed to have some small-town vibes. We parked in the free lot across the street where the McD's was. read more

Off-the-Hook BOOKEND'd our most recent 2026 trip to Oahu. It was the first stop after getting our rental car. And the final stop, before dropping it off again. The adorable market, in a gorgeous canyon neighborhood is always on our minds. So fresh. So good. A LITERAL MUST on each and every trip to Oahu. Multiple times, if possible. The Parking sucks, but hey - it's a market on an island. We're fine. We have a tradition of just eating it in our rental car. A tradition I look forward to continuing soon. Only downside: Off-the-Hook, and Ono Seafood RUIN POKE FOR US, back in Los Angeles. Just ain't the same as Hawaii. read more

Take-out only spot with limited outdoor seating. Pricy but the portions are good and the fish and fish eggs are the freshest I've ever had. The sauces are hella good too! I enjoyed the spicy ones and the Hawaiian style. Ask for all the toppings. The brown rice is nutty and perfectly cooked. Went here twice while on vacation, and it was so good after a nearby hike. The smoothie place next door is also good! Recommend getting the regular size; the mini/small is too small even for my small stomach. Note: we parked across the street since we were in and out! Super easy to cross the street. read more

I've never actually been to the market but my boyfriend always knows to stop by and bring home my favorite, cold ginger poke. It's just soooo good, unmatched I must say! As it can get busy, my boyfriend has lucked out on going where there was barely a line. I have yet to make a visit when I'm in the area, definitely one of my top poke spots on the island. read more

This spot had such big fresh chunks of fish. The staff were friendly and the line moved quickly. I liked the ginger scallion topping mine had. Out of all the poke shops I stopped by I wouldn't say it was my favorite of the trip, but it was the only one to offer a salad/vegetable which was a welcome option. read more

After all these years, Off the Hook is easily still my (and the kid's) favorite spot for fresh poke on O'ahu. Quality hasn't changed. All flavors of ahi poke are excellent and delicious. My go-to is usually spicy ahi but today I got the ginger and Japan deluxe. We arrived at 11:20-ish on a Friday and there was a short line which moved quickly. The three staff behind the counter were very efficient and have their system down. Some trays were already half gone. By the time we got our food, the line had extended to the bus stop! Therefore, best to come early. There are two small tables by the front, on either side of the line, which can be awkward. My friend and I trekked to the tables at Mānoa Marketplace to enjoy our fish and the warm sun and gentle breeze. read more

Came back a second time to get their regular bowl. Wanted more of their Cold Ginger Ahi and the Wasabi Furikaki which were our favorites from the sampler. Quick counter service as before. No line during weekday lunch 11:00 or so. They have the various rice options prepacked and ready to go. You then pick one or two pole and then free topping options. Dang this poke is so good. A few tables out front to eat at. Will come back next time we visit Oahu. read more

Spicy ahi- 5/5 classic creamy spicy. My fav Spicy ginger ahi- 5/5 also delicious. They also have a non spicy version too. Best poke I had in Hawaii. Only place we went to twice in entire island. Tuna was so fresh you'll realize THIS is how it should taste and feel, texture wise. Why is mainland poke never this good!! Not even close. Highly recommend stopping by here for poke over all else. Chose white rice as base but that was kinda dry. Noticed they scooped the white rice ahead of time and left it in the takeaway containers--to be proactive? But just makes the rice dry. I mean, does it really take that long to scoop rice that you have to do it ahead of time? That was meh, but fish oh my god so good. SOOOO GOOD You can also order poke by a quarter, half, or whole pound. Parking sucks. Tiny lot. No seats inside (actually you can't even go inside), but a few tables outside. There is a roof overhead incase it's raining and you need a place to eat. read more

Off the Hook Poke Market - Spicy ahi 5/5 & spicy ginger ahi 5/5 - Poke Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Probably some of the best fresh ahi offered near Waikiki. It was significantly better than FoodLands and Fort Rugers Market's poke. They don't offer samples but the popular flavors are Ginger and Spicy Mayo. I got the Japanese Deluxe and K. Spicy which were flavorful but a bit salty. Probably should've chosen a simpler flavor to maximize the fresh taste. Very long lines but it goes by quickly. read more

This was pretty good, but not a perfect bowl for me. Fish was fresh and the flavors/sauces were good and unique. I really enjoyed all the toppings. Some people say it takes away from the fish but idk man I'm kind of a fan of extra textures. The big downside for me personally was the sushi rice. Definitely had a bit too much vinegar for my liking and I felt like it took away from the fish. Overall I'd say good bowl, I'd want to try it with just white rice next time. read more

After hiking Manoa Falls Trail, we were hungry and saw a long line for poke and stopped here. I ordered both spicy tuna and regular ahi tuna, and unfortunately the tuna was slimy, chewy, and didn't taste very fresh - not sure if this was from thawed frozen fish or made the day before. I also tried the garlic ahi separately because we were told it was popular, but all of them tasted overly salty. The garlic sauce tastes like a garlic green onion sauce that Chinese people make to dip plain chicken. The octopus was probably the best part of the bowl - not amazing, but decent compared to the rest. The sushi rice was another downside - very heavy on the vinegar and completely overpowered the poke. Overall, the bowl just didn't come together well, and the quality didn't meet expectations for poke. Portions were fine, but freshness and balance were lacking especially given the price. read more

Came here from a friends recommendation. It's a small poke shop with several outdoor seating: ordered the ginger ahi tuna which was super delicious!! (The taste sort of reminded me of Hainan chicken). Also ordered the spicy ahi tuna which was nice and creamy and shoyu ahi. the fish was really fresh. This poke place is a bit on the saltier side compared to other places I've tried but still yummy! read more

This place my third time visiting Off the Hook, and it is always worth the wait rain or shine. I ordered the Kilauea Fire & Shoyu Ahi this time, and the texture is top tier. I would order the Hawaiian Style with one of these options next time to balance the flavors more and to avoid a bit of redundancy. There is a small seating area outside of the shop, and there isn't a lot of seating in the surrounding area. Service is generous and accommodating. This is my favorite poke spot aside from Foodland on the Island. read more

Off the Hook Poke Market - Kilauea Fire & Shoyu Ahi - Poke Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Off the Hook was recommended to us by some local friends, but unfortunately this was one of our least favorite poke places that we tried during our visit to O'ahu. We tried 4 different types of poke here, and in general they were all extremely salty. We tried the shoyu ahi, spicy ahi, miso ginger tako, and cold ginger ahi. The shoyu ahi was probably the saltiest, and unfortunately the soy sauce seeped into the rice and it very salty. The cold ginger ahi was very strongly seasoned with a sauce that seemed to be green onion and ginger and unfortunately was not pleasant. It's possible that we came on a bad day, as it seems very popular, and the line outside was pretty long. But, based on my experience, I would recommend visiting somewhere else. There is a limited amount of seating and tables outside. The location is convenient for visitors to the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa, as it's a walkable distance from the campus. read more

Off the Hook Poke Market - Regular poke bowl with miso ginger tako + cold ginger ahi ($20.49) & Mini poke bowl with shoyu ahi + spicy ahi ($18.49) - Poke Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Off the Hook takes the cake for best poke in O'ahu. The fish is fresh, the bowl is fully of quality ingredients, and prices are fair. The bowls come with your choice of protein, sushi rice, green onion and furikake. We opted for the spicy ahi which was delicious. Service is quick as customers walk up to a window to place their order. While one worker prepares your order, the other worker rings you up. We walked away with our food within three minutes of arriving. There is limited seating outside but fortunately we grabbed a table because we were one of the few customers. While I'm glad we didn't have to wait in an insane line like other spots, I hope Off the Hook gets some more recognition from the community and tourists as the best poke. read more

First of all, I am not a big fan of poke but love fresh cooked seafood. However, I just had to try their Miso Ginger Tako bowl with brown rice & all the free topping extras! "Dis place Broke da mouth ONO!" So delicious with flavor & texture profiles that make your taste buds dance with joy! Service is full of Aloha and smiles!

Favorites were spicy ahi and shoyu ahi poke, good fish and tried and true flavor. Less liked was the cold ginger ahi. Would not recommend the miso ginger tako. They offered free toppings: tobiko, green onion, bubu arare. I tried the sushi rice (+$1) and it was firm and clumpy. You can also buy the poke per pound. If going later in the day, I would call and check to see if they have the flavors you want as they do run out. There are a few tables on the sidewalk in front of the shop to eat at. read more

This is a small whole in the wall poke place. I can't give it a 5 star though. I've had better poke before. It's differnt than most places. I ordered the Spicy Ahi and Ginger Poke. The ginger poke is like eating cold ginger chicken from a Chinese restaurant. I like how they add all kinds of toppings. Masago Arare, green onions, Masago. Plus you have options on what kind of rice you want. Brown, white, sushi rice. There is a small parking lot in the back but a shopping center right across the street. There are a few tables outside. No dining in. The price is a bit pricy. read more

We went to a lot of different poke places while we were in Oahu. But we think that this was probably our favorite poke place that we visited. It is a pick up style establishment, and there are several seats outside, but not too many seats. We got the ginger scallion tuna which we really love the flavor of and the fish was very plump. Service was quick and they were very friendly. If I ever come back to Oahu, I would definitely come back here! read more

4 stars for super fresh poke! I think the ginger and spicy were my favorite. I liked the crunchy toppings, massage, and seaweed you can add as toppers for free - love the added texture. It's also unique because their sushi rice is green and seasoned in a unique way. Rice was a little salty though. Also I felt that and especially the Hawaiian and shoyu were too salty. I think for the price my fave is still Alili but this was a solid spot. read more

I got the regular sized bowl with spicy ahi and ginger scallion ahi. I do like ginger but the ginger scallion was a bit too strong for my preference. The spicy ahi was delicious. The real standout to me was the sushi rice, which is $1 extra - it tasted so good just on its own. This place is pretty popular so I waited about 30 min when I came for lunch on a Tuesday afternoon. Worth the wait. Also there is no indoor seating. read more

Off the Hook is our beloved neighborhood poke spot! We are so happy to have it here but so many tourists flood Mānoa just to wait in line here! Depending on the time, the wait can be considerable. If you come later in the day, the poke might be sold out! That's because they make it all fresh with fish caught the same day. When I was pregnant, I wished they had more cooked options but all they have is the miso tako. The store has a few metal tables on the sidewalk for al fresco dining. Parking is a little challenging but most people park at the shopping center and cross the street. It's a busy one, so please watch for cars before crossing! We see a lot of close calls. read more

First time trying this place out (yes, I know, it's about time). Their sushi rice is very flavorful, with a healthy serving of it, not too sweet. They toss their poke with sesame oil and the spicy ahi didn't have any inamona in it (thank you, as I'm allergic to all nuts, including kukui nut). There are the complimentary toppings to choose from - tempura crunch, furikake, green onions, and tobiko. The regular size was super filling for me. And if you go early enough, they have some bakery/pastry items to partake in as well. Had a guava pastry which was super tasty and flaky as well. Will definitely be back to try their other options! read more

Service was fast and efficient, so that's a plus, but I did find the spicy poke veryyyy salty. I have had poke around the island at other establishments so it's not a matter of inexperience or lack of knowledge, just personal taste. Lines do get long and they run out of options quickly, but the line moves quickly so get there early to be able to choose from all the options. Not the worst place to get poke on Oahu, but not the best. read more

Fresh poke straight from the ocean! Compared to poke we had the night we landed, Off the Hook was better in quality and taste. Recommended by a friend that lives on the island his suggestion was great! I shared a Cold Ginger Ahi and Spicy Ahi with scoops of rice with my boyfriend. Must I tell you I was amazed, it was so creamy and melted perfectly in my mouth. What made it even more perfect was as we were sitting down we got a lovely view of Diamond Head. The service was quick and easy as you order and they get your order right away. It's also outdoors. I'm looking forward to the next time I can have Off the Hook because I know I'd be getting some good eats in! read more

Had to make a stop here because the idea of a poke sampler platter is just too enticing to pass up. However, I'm really glad I had my guy there to share with me because most of the flavors were pretty underwhelming. Basically anything with sauce was just oversauced making it muggy and it was all you could taste. Not sure about others, but I enjoy tasting the fish when I get poke. From favorite to least favorite: Shoyu Ahi, Cold Ginger Ahi tied with Kilauea Fire, Japan Deluxe tied with Miso Ginger Tako, Hawaiian Style, and Spicy Ahi. I didn't actually try the Wasabi Ahi as I don't like wasabi at all, but my guy said it was disgusting and at the bottom of his list. Neither of us thought the spicy ones had any actual heat to them. Overall, this just mixed the mark for me. Out of the 7 flavors I tried, I would only get the top 1. Even the other ones I thought weren't bad, I couldn't eat a whole meal of it because they weren't good enough to me. Not a good ratio. I expected better, cleaner flavors based on the reviews I read and I got the opposite. I wouldn't come back here, honestly. My guy gives it a 3.5, but it's a 2.5 max for me because I got poke other places that was much more enjoyable. This I had to force down for the most part. read more

Another one of our stops for our Honolulu speedrun was Off the Hook Poke Market. This is a very small place that doesn't really cater to a sit-down-and-eat crowd. They only had a couple of tables and they were both taken by other parties but no matter, we were able to find some seating across the street to enjoy our food. We decided that since the goal was to try as many things as possible, we'd go with a Sampler. It came with 8 different kinds of poke. Just as the sampler comes with a mix of poke, our ratings for what we tried were also a mixed bag. The rankings in descending order were as follows: 1.) Shoyu ahi 2.) Kilauea fire 3.) Cold ginger 4.) Miso ginger tako 5.) Japan deluxe 6.) Hawaiian style 7.) Spicy ahi 8.) Wasabi #1 was the clear favorite and head and shoulders above everything else. From there, 2 & 3 were in the next tier and were considerably less enjoyable, with there being an even bigger drop off to the next tier of 4-8. The big issue we seemed to run into is that the fish was very overdressed and it made the poke feel very heavy, and only the flavors of the marinades came through. It was fun to try all the different kinds of poke, but overall it was a very average experience. 3/5 read more

Off the Hook Poke Market - Cold ginger - Poke Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

We've been going to Off the Hook for years. By far my favorite. A relative brought me a poke bowl from another well known spot last week and it was okay. Then he went to OTH today and brought me one from here and it's just sooooo good. Way better than anywhere else. I have never had not-fresh fish, it's always super fresh good quality. The portions have shrunk a tiny bit, prices have gone up a tiny bit, but it is still our go to spot. My coworkers never say no when I suggest a OTH poke run. I saw some comments say the cold ginger poke is overwhelming - I love the ginger sauce (I order cold ginger chicken from Chinese restaurants) so it's perfect for me. My favorite is usually the Hawaiian style, my gf likes the spicy ahi. I've pretty much tried all the varieties though and they're all good. All in all, by far my favorite poke place. I love to support the small hole in the wall local eateries that make our community so unique. Plus, another great place (Andy's) is next door. We usually go there and OTH at the same time! read more

Great poke! Came here because i was in the area and heard about this place. It's a small take out hole in the doorway . Tried their mini with sushi rice and several 1/2 lb a la carte. Yes it's pricey but fresh and great quality poke. And do get all their toppings! They even "packaged" it for me with ice in my cooler bag since i had a few stops before going home. read more
