Poipu Poke Shack is a solid spot with fast service. It's located inside a supermarket, with easy parking. Keep an eye on their limited hours. I initially saw a long line outside, but it was for a different restaurant. For a drink, there's a hidden smoothie shop at the back of the supermarket, I loved their acai bowls! read more

Tried the California poke--creamy and flavorful, with avocado, imitation crab, seaweed, green onion, and spicy mayo. Tasted just like the inside of a California roll. The Garlic ahi had a firmer texture and was packed with garlic, onion, and green onion. A bit on the salty side, but bold and satisfying. Located inside a grocery store with quick service. We came later in the afternoon and a few options were already sold out. Convenient parking lot out front and a lively atmosphere with other food options nearby. read more

This review is two years past due! I just arrived back to Kauai and the very first thing we did was drive to Poipu Poke Shack and it didn't disappoint! The fish is so fresh, cut into small cubes and the flavors were perfection. The furikake was crunchy and provided the best umami flavor. There isn't a sign outside but trust the process and walk into the market and your life will change! read more

In an unassuming corner of the local grocery store, you will find some of the best poke on the island. They have more than 6 flavors to choose from of fresh, the ultimate bowl of two scoops is a matchmaker's desire. The poke bowl comes complete with two scoops of rice with furikake and a side of seaweed that mixes in perfectly. They were efficient with service as well. read more

Summer trip to Kauai for me was all about poke. And after trying as many as I could in Kauai, this was the one I ended up recommending to family members who were headed to Kauai 2 months later (they loved it and ate it multiple times and also agreed). There was slightly better poke fish quality had on Kauai, but this place easily became my choice for the BEST OVERALL "POKE BOWL" since it scored high on all aspects of an enjoyable bowl. First of all, Google map doesn't show Poipu Poke Shack if you search for it, not sure why. So I had the Kukuiula Market marked on my map, since this is a counter located inside that market. Small sleepy market, but had easy parking and Poipu Poke was the first thing on the left upon entering. * Spicy ahi poke bowl was super enjoyable. - Spicy ahi poke = double scoop of great poke! fresh not frozen ahi and spicy mayo was excellent (my favorite flavor for poke since can't beat mayo in anything). good cuts of ahi were very smooth and flavorful, maybe had only 1 or 2 bite that required some chewing but nothing tough. - Rice = they used proper sushi rice which was absolutely delicious. sushi rice to me is a MUST for an enjoyable poke bowl! Furikake sprinkled on top only added to the enjoyment. - Seaweed salad = comes in the bowl and helps balance out the bowl while cleansing palate between bites. - Priced reasonable for the bowl quality and enjoyment. Overall it hit all the marks to make it the best overall poke bowl I've had. * Spicy scallop was good with balanced flavor and good to chew as an accompaniment to have on the side. For the poke bowl they ask if want the unagi/eel sauce. I said yes, since who doesn't like more flavor? Wife liked the added sauce. But after eating, my conclusion was maybe this poke bowl doesn't even need the added sauce. The poke/sushi rice are already so flavorful, that I think the added sauce only distracts from the smooth clean flavors of the bowl. So my personal choice would be to decline the eel sauce, since it's not needed on this great poke bowl. Actually went back the next day again, but for the sake of research, tried the poke nacho version. The wonton nacho was crunchy and fun, but just not as satisfying as sushi rice. I would stick with the poke bowl for that great sushi rice and seaweed salad that makes the bowl so enjoyable to dig into. It can be tight to plan for dinner, so plan ahead. They said open 11am~6pm. Closed Saturday. Since it's take out only, also should decide where you want to eat it. First day, took it to Poipu Beach, there was a park area on the east side that had plenty of tables. Second day, took it to the Spouting Horn, which had table right by the spouting horn so could enjoy watching water blowing off while enjoying a meal. Easier parking and minimal walking as well. read more

Located inside the Kukui'ula Market, this poke shack offers some of the freshest poke I've ever tried. I got a poke bowl, which comes with 2 scopes of poke, seaweed salad and rice. I chose spicy salmon, 3/10 spicy, 8/10 freshness, and garlic ahi 7/10. People usually get it to-go, but if you want to eat there, grab a seat at the back of the market. Tip: Come early to get the poke you want. Some ran out by lunch time read more

My first time having poke, I was totally spoiled by Poipu Poke Shack! Tucked in a local convenience store, you seriously cannot miss this place if you're in Kauai! We stopped in on a Sunday late afternoon. My husband and I shared the poke bowl with spicy ahi and spicy scallops. It was SO YUMMY. I really wanted to get another bowl, but we were both full. Really a great value for the high-quality product you're getting. The employees were friendly and the food prep area was very clean (don't let the store it's in deter you because it's not super clean lol). There isn't any seating, but there are a few benches outside and some picnic tables to the side of the strip plaza. 100% we will be back for you, Poipu Poke Shack! read more

Woweee hidden gem inside Kukuiula market, we would've passed by this spot had we not ran into the awesome local lady at Riptides while munching on shaved ice. Fresh, fresh, fresh (like wouldn't be surprised if they were off the boat from that morning) tuna and salmon, 2 scoops of rice sprinkled with seaweed strips and voila you have the most Incredible poke bowl. This portion ringing in at $20 was a good size spilt between two. Going back again today if I can convince my driver- haha. read more

Deserves the hype. This not-so-hidden gem sells incredibly fresh, perfectly prepared poke at a spectacular price. As someone else noted, their cucumber kimchi is a great way to extend the meal. What's the catch? There's nowhere to sit. Just figure something out before you order. read more

It took a minute to find them as yelp and maps say food cart, but it's really in the market right next to Da Crack Mexican food. Enter the store and turn left as its on the left wall/corner. That said- amazing Poke! The spicy Ahi was my favorite. As good as I have had anywhere. I also had the shoyu Ahi. It was really good too, but the spicy was. The seaweed salad- or whatever it was- was a great compliment too. Loved it. Next time in Kauai we will be back for sure! If you're staying in poipu, I would be here multiple times! read more

The Poipu Poke Shack was a tiny little shop inside the market and not visible from the street. Very mom and pop shack feel. By the time I found it, they were 45 min away from closing so they did not have a lot of options left. It's a take out place, no sitting available nearby. I was on a quest to find Poke for dinner and this was on my list to try, and I am so glad I did! The Poke tasted so fresh, the fish melts in your mouth. For $17 you pick two kind of poke and it is served with seaweeds and two scoops of sticky rice. There are some add-ons you can get such as pickled ginger. This is far from a fancy poke shop but that was probably the best poke I had on the island! Would definitely eat there again. read more

Hands down the best quality poke I have ever had in Kauai (and I have been here probably 50 times now). The fish is exceptional. This was my first time here and I can easily see why it's so highly rated. Makes me not want to return to many other places I have been just from the quality of the fish alone. The way it's prepared with simple yet flavorful ingredients is also a plus. And the rice is perfection. Don't hesitate to come here. read more

Amazing poke! This place is inside the Kukuiula Market and to your left. It was the best poke I have had (even better than Oahu). We tried the ahi tuna (original, garlic + spicy) along with the wasabi salmon. Everything was delicious and the portion sizes were very good. I would move to Kauai to eat here everyday. Service was also great, you could tell it's a local family who owns this and that makes me love this place even more! Thanks for the wonderful poke! Mahalo. read more
