Kind of on the pricy side, but a great place to grab if you work around the Downtown location of Oahu. I love that you can add as many topping as you want. I just wish they gave more salmon because they only filled like 1/3 of the bowl of Salmon, which I was pretty sad about. The people were really friendly and they make the poke right there for you. They have three different sizes and I usually get small because it's a lot of rice!! Haha read more

Pokeway - Wasabi Salmon - Poke Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Guys. Want a good poke bowl and youre in the downtown area? Need to fill the poke fix and youre in the business district? Dont know what to eat and are thinking, "hey, I can go for some poke?" Well. Look no further. Pokeway is THE WAY. Located on Bishop Street. Across the street from Executive Center and the old Remington College Building. There is no parking. You will need to find street parking on another street, park in a structure, or walk there if you work closeby. I ate there today for the first time. Mainly because the line for this joint is like 20 deep and I only have an hour for lunch. I digress. The fish is fresh. The options are fantastic. The sauces are made there. I did a 2 choice protein bowl: Salmon and Ahi, with dynamite sauce (like a sriracha mayo -- not spice). Topping were edamame, crab salad (yes, thats a topping, not protein choice) and ocean salad. Topped with furikake. The amount of food is well worth what you are paying. Pricing is always subject to change and usually I dont mention pricing, however, the photos are wrong. Add a dollar to the prices. It was good. No. It was great. I am comparing this to Redfish (who has a ton more options) but the flavor was pretty on point. Will definitely be back, especially when I notice the line is short ;) Thanks Pokeway! Lunch was fantastic. read more

Super fast fresh place close to work downtown! They offer all kinds of rice and lettuce bases. They have sushi rice, may favorite, the protein and sauce, and three toppings included in the price. The place is very clean and very easy to order. There's always a line for this place at lunch. I love poke bowls and the toppings that come with it, each topping is $.99 after the standard 3 included. I got the sushi rice, ahi cubes with spicy mayo (I like the big cubes better than when it's premixed and shredded), cucumber, crab, and edamame with toasted sesame seeds. Dry toppings are unlimited. Miso soup is an add-on that is super cheap and drinks are really cheap with your meal too. They have prepackaged wasabi/soy by the napkins to-go bags and utensils. There are interior seats available too. Good food and good portions! I love when I can get full on good food for under $10! read more

Due to the pandemic all my usual places to eat clean and healthy, unfortunately closed down. I found this place while walking around hunting for new places for lunch. Their build-your-own salad selection has many options, whether you want vegan, vegetarian, or keto (like me) this is the place for you! The salad is fresh and crunchy, the place is kept clean and tidy, and the workers are ever so kind and friendly. I usually grab their small salad which is pretty big and makes me full for about 10$. You can choose to get a medium or large, choose your greens, protein, dressing, plenty of sides to choose from. I will be coming here many times, so if you decide to stop by, I'll probably see you read more

Though at first I thought it was pricey, they actually give portions! I really like this place. So many options. I definitely recommend. read more

Pokeway - Brown rice, spring mix salad, salmon, tofu, edamame, corn, carrots, creamy sesame sauce. - Poke Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

I love this place! The pricing is reasonable and their add ones are awesome. I normally get spicy tuna and half brown rice half salad for my base. They have edamame, ocean salad, crab salad, daikon and more. The poke is fresh and you can choose from a variety of fish ahi, hamachi, etc, and kalua pig is coming soon. I go here for lunch pretty often and usually the line is out the door but it goes quick. Sometimes there's no line and it can take less than 5 minutes! I've always wanted to try their Ume iced tea (3.99) but haven't yet. I love going back and trying different toppings. read more

Pokeway - Small poke bowl - Poke Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

I love this place!!! It's a Korean-owned small business and it was nice when they were in ala moana by Don Quixote and I'm so glad they moved downtown so no too far away. I really love the different kinds of rice and toppings that they have. The spicy mayo and creamy sesame are great sauces. The crab salad and ocean salad are my fave toppings and you absolutely must have the additional toppings of garlic chips, furikake, and onion chips. The extra crunch is what makes this place so much better than others. The poke's always been super fresh and I am full after lunch but not super stuffed where I'm immobile and can't focus on the computer screen anymore. I haven't been to the location in-person since I always use Bitesquad but they always fulfill the order right away and never had issues ordering from them when they relay the call to Pokeway. read more

Pokeway is located at 1132 Bishop Street. A lot of people know this as the building with Aloha Sushi or 1132 Cafe. Pokeway is tucked away in the middle of those two eateries. The concept here is super easy. You just have to follow 5 easy steps: Step 1: Pick your size (S/M/L) Step 2: The base (rice, salad, mix) Step 3: The Protein (ahi, salmon, hamachi, spicy tuna, tako, tofu, shrimp) Step 4: The Sauce (shoyu, korean, wasabi aioli, dynamite, sesame, yuzu wasabi, peanut butter, spicy tuna) Step 5: The Toppings (too many to list) So far my favorite way to order is a Medium (2 scoops of poke), all salad, hamachi & ahi, with either wasabi aioli or sesame sauce. The toppings and salad toppers I like to change up often. Overall I love coming here for lunch. They are quick and always have fresh fish. read more

It may have been close to closing time, but the older lady at the counter was very unfriendly and seemed bothered by serving us. I felt like canceling and just leaving. I won't go there again. 3/15/2024 2pm read more

Stumbled upon this place on bishop street during lunch. You get to build your own bowl, which is nice. I was a little overwhelmed since it's my first time there... lots of choices. I ordered a medium bowl which comes with 2 choices of protein. I picked ahi and calamari salad. For the ahi, I picked yuzu wasabi sauce. The yuzu wasabi sauce was not a good pick... not much taste to it. I ended up dipping the ahi in wasabi. For sides, I picked tobiko, edamame and crab salad. All on a bed of romain lettuce topped with furikake. read more

Pokeway - Medium Bowl - ahi with yuzu wasabi and calamari salad with tobiko, edamame, crab salad topped with furikake - Poke Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Pokeway popped up on my Yelp feed a while back & I've been visiting for a bit so I thought it's time for a review. The friendly owner informed me that his father has a fishing boat & his business partner has a fish shop so he has access to fresh fish daily. The order process is pretty standard as with most customizable poke bowl places: - choose bowl size (small=one scoop fish choice, medium =2 scoops & 3 scoops = large) - choose base of rice (white or brown) or salad (spring mix, romaine lettuce or spinach) -choose fish (ahi, spicy ahi, salmon, hamachi) -choose sauce for fish (yuzu wasabi, shoyu, wasabi aioli, etc.) -choose 3 free toppings (I usually get the crab salad, edamame & masago) -choose additional finishes (sesame seeds, tempura chips, garlic chips, etc.) Salad isn't dressed but they have additional sauces at a counter that you can choose as a dressing. There's usually enough flavor from the sauce that's mixed with the fish that I don't use dressing. Fish is very fresh & cubes are cut nicely. Your bowl is served in a reusable container too. They are currently offering a 20% discount with Yelp check in! read more

Located in 1132 Bishop Street across the deli/café of the same name, Pokeway serves fresh poke in a bowl with salad and/or rice. And, for non-raw fish eaters like me, there is cubed tofu. I'm enamored of the made-to-order approach where you can watch as the "pokemaster" builds your bowl while you pick from a selection of fresh ingredient and dried seasoning toppings. Having been here a few times, I always go with the small bowl, brown rice, mixed greens, tofu with yuzu wasabi sauce, the imitation crab salad mix, edamame, corn, then furikake, fried garlic and fried onions. These flavors work for me, though I never finish the rice part which is at the bottom of the bowl, cause it is so filling. Having learned from Travis N.'s experience, I also fill a small ketchup-size takeout container with additional sauces -- wasabi and a sesame one -- since he claimed the poke was never saucy enough. The only sauce not available for the take out is the yuzu wasabi. Dunno why... but that's okay cause I'll take the 20% discount for checking in on yelp over the extra sauce! read more

Pokeway - three plates of food on a table - Poke Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

**Check in on YELP for 20%! Located in a small place across from Cafe 1132 in the lobby of the Building, the address of the Building is 1132 Bishop St. I Highly recommend this to all my fellow downtown peeps great find! The concept is very much like Subway its a "Poke bar" concept. I would not recommend coming here if you dont work downtown as parking is hard to find and probably not worth it unless you already work downtown. 1. Choose your Size: Small (1 scoop) $8.95, MED (2 scoop) 10.95 or LRG (3 scoop) $12.95 2. Then choose, white, multi, brown rice and Salad OR all salad 3. Protein: Ahi (tuna) , salmon, hamachi, spicy tuna, tako, tofu or shrimp 4. Sauce: shoyu, spicy korean, wasabi aioli, dynamite, sesame, yuzu wasabi, peanut butter or spicy tuna 5. Select the type of lettuce you want, toppings and salad toppers **this may sound like a lot of hard decisions, but truly its not that stressful! I got the Small Spicy tuna over multigrain rice and salad with Crab salad, ocean salad and cucumbers and it was delicious! The portion was perfect for me and it was very filling and tasty! the fish was fresh and the 2 guys at the counter were really nice and answered all of my questions. Great concept, delicious food and friendly service~! read more

If you're downtown for lunch, Pokeway is a no brainer. You've probably already heard of the place, or have at least seen the line snaking out the doors, and rightfully so. Pokeway offers heaping customizable poke bowls. Pick your size, your protein, and 3 add-ons or more. There's no dine-in, but service is quick and easy. Staff have always been friendly and efficient, and don't scrimp on the toppings. The choices have always been fresh in my experience, too. When I buy food here, I know I'm getting my money's worth, and it's an easy choice for takeout, especially now with restrictions. read more

Pokeway - Poke Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

My new favorite poke bowl spot! The fish and produce is fresh and there's literally tons of different combos and flavors you can make. And this condiment queen LOVES that you can mix and match your own sauces. Seriously great stuff here!! The flavors are so rocking together. I really really enjoyed my bowl. I appreciate how they have so many options and some unusual things to offer. For example. Peanut butter sauce. It's almost like a rich sesame tahini. No Jiff/ Peter Pan here! They also offer mixed grain rice, which has black/ wild rice, brown rice and quinoa in it. SO good!! Trust me and break the chains of normal rice and try it! The bowl is a generous size and portion. The medium 2 scoop bowl was 2 meals for me. The people working there were very on top of the customer service game. I wasn't paying attention and I thought he put the spicy ahi sauce on my salmon and he said, "if that's not what you want, let me know and I'll make you a fresh batch". He genuinely seemed like he wanted me to enjoy and not bothered to fix it at all. Luckily, I did order the spicy ahi (note this one is minced ahi, whereas the other regular ahi poke is cubed cut). I added the seaweed salad (so tasty!) and crab salad (I also recommend!) and cucumbers. I had the sauce for the salmon added on the side. The fish was definitely fresh! The entrance to this place is either on Fort Street side (big brown bldg directly across from Subway on Fort Street) or the Bishop street side. Very clean inside and outside at the tables. Yelp check in offer is 20% off! I want to try more combos and I need that mixed grain rice. Soooooo good!!!! read more

Pokeway - My masterpiece! - Poke Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

We first stumbled upon Pokeway cutting through the 1132 Bishop Street building so we decided to check this place out. Pokeway's address is located at the 1132 Bishop Street Tower, (however the entrances are on Fort Street Mall if you are on the Ewa side of the building close to Pauahi Street or on Union Mall on the Diamond Head side). They are located on the Makai side, street level lobby area in the vicinity of other eateries 1132 Cafe and the Aloha Sushi minimart. The place is small, clean, however, the poke is fresh, brought in daily. They have a nice selection of Ahi, Salmon, Hamachi and Taco to name a few. You can order your poke a variety of different ways: over multigrain rice, white rice or brown rice or over a nice array of salads such as spinach, spring mix and romaine lettuce. Next, they have several choices of sauces such as spicy tuna, wasabi aioli, dynamite, yuzu wasabi, spicy Korean, peanut butter, shoyu and sesame. Your dish comes with your choice of toppings: onions, jalapeños, Japanese cucumbers, sweet corn, edamame, green onions, ginger, ocean salad, crab salad or masago eggs. Lastly, to top it off your dish includes toppers such as masago, sesame seeds, tempura chips and furikake to name a few. The staff here are friendly and accommodating to your custom order. There are several tables in the lobby area. The area is spacious, clean and "more importantly" air conditioned! LOL If you work in downtown Honolulu then great, it's a nice walk! If you do not, there are street metered parking close by or the city municipal lots. I probably wouldn't recommend parking in the building unless you are doing business here as everyone knows downtown parking is expensive. For fresh poke in the downtown area, I recommend you check this place out! :) read more

What to get for lunch? That's always the question. As I did my walk through Bishop Square I came across this place. Seen it at several locations before but never tried it. So in line I stood. First you pick your rice (reg, brown, black, sushi) or you can have salad (spinach, romaine, mix) or Both! I went for both. Now pick a protein - ahi, salmon, hamachi, kalua...etc. You are able to pick more than one which the cost goes up a little. Sauce? Spicy mayo, sesame, really hot stuff, etc. Then all kinds of toppings..I selected just a few...green onion, takuwan and edamame. Now for the taste test. I was pleasantly surprised how fresh everything tasted. I really enjoyed this bowl although the spicy mayo was a bit too spicy for me. I'm a wimp! New location at Bishop Square, nice and bright with some tables to sit, sauces to take out, etc. I think I'll go back and try a different sauce next time. Great, healthier choice for lunch downtown. read more

This place is bomb! This place is better than Ahi Vegi. Yup, I said it. The subway of poke bowls. Choose your base rice, salad or half and half. Choose your protein and sauce. Then pick 3 sides then top it off with some garlic and furikake. I went with sushi rice with spicy ahi and hamachi in their yuzu wasabi sauce. Added some crab salad, tamago, and masago. That was a lot of food. The fish is fresh and that yuzu wasabi sauce was bomb. If you're in downtown, definitely try this place out! read more

Pokeway - Poke Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

I decided to try one of my favorite downtown poke places last week now that we're all back in the office. I got my usual: mixed greens salad with salmon and hamachi, both with wasabi yuzu dressing, and ocean salad, masago and crab salad toppings. I have to say that it was tasty going down, but it never settled and kept going if you know what I mean. I made sure not to go in on a Monday because I'm not sure if their fish is fresh daily, but in any case, it didn't agree with me. I'm a bit bummed because I used to love this place, but I think I'll need to stay away for a while or at least until my stomach gets brave again. read more

Fresh poke bowls so close to my work, awesome! Their fish is very fresh. The fish is cut into petite bite-sized cubes, which are okay for me because i can pick up a small bit of each thing in my bowl for the perfect bites! I love their basic bowl which comes with both rice (white or multigrain) AND your choice of romaine, spinach, or mixed greens. If you want to stick to your New Year's resolution you can also choose all greens. Then you can choose 1-3 scoops of your choice of ahi, salmon, hamachi, and I think tofu (not sure because I wouldn't choose that instead of fresh fish), that they will toss with your choice of 6 sauces. Then you can choose up to 3 various toppings, including crab (imitation) salad, ocean salad, tobiko, onions, etc, plus other toppings like furikake, fried onions or garlic, and sesame seeds. Just in case you need extra sauces there is a condiment station by the door so you can get a little more. Bonus: Yelp check ins gets 20% off! So glad to have this healthy meal option downtown! read more

If you've read my other reviews, you know I'm a raging cheap stake on lunch in Downtown Honolulu. I don't even bother walking in to a place where the menu starts at $8.5. So, what the heck am I doing at Pokeway? Well friends, that's because of a 20% off check in coupon and only needing to buy lunch once during the work week. Take my lunch money Pokeway! Pokeway is in the 1132 Bishop street building (the one with the black glass on Bishop) on the entry floor. There are three size choices dictating how many scoops of poke you get; $8.95 one scoop small, $10.95 two scoop medium, and $12.95 three scoop large. That's followed by a base of combinations of various salad and various types of rice. Poke choices include tuna, spicy tuna, salmon, octopus, yellow tail, tofu and shrimp with eight choices of sauces. Medium and large options can try more than one poke type. If you're a high maintenance kind of person (just own it), ask for each scoop to get its own separate sauce. Three choices of toppings (extra for delicious avocado, that's why we Millennials are broke AF) for the poke and additional for toppings for salad. Salad dressing is self-serve with 5-6 options. I got the medium size, baby spring mix salad rice combination with yellowtail and tuna sauced in shoyu topped with crab salad, masago and sea salad, and then topped with furikake and tempura balls. The fish was lightly sauced, firm and delicious. They say it's fresh, but can't quite be certain, but it's still totally better than competitors *cough* Ahi vegetable *cough* around downtown. Crab salad was more crab than mayo, masago was crisp, and the sea salad was one of the best I've had. Rice wasn't sushi rice, but decent quality. Pokeway is well lit and clean with a self-serve station for utensils, the various salad dressing, napkins and bags. It's a bit out of my regular price range for lunch, but it makes for a nice occasional treat. I was full on two scoops, but your mileage will vary. The staff was professional and quick. As always, parking in downtown is a mess, but this is a lunch only place anyways. There are also tables in the AC lobby right outside to enjoy your poke on. read more

5 stars for creativity and the fact that you are able to customize your bowl to your liking was a fantastic idea. However the difficulty to park just for this hole in the wall place is not worth it. We parked in the bishop building and we didn't stay there for more than 20mins and the fee was $9!!! Ridiculous! Also if you checked in with YELP you will receive a 20% off your bill. So I did that and showed the worker my coupon from Yelp and she DIDN'T APPLY MY DISCOUNT. what a bust! Also the portion was just too little like barely any rice and they try to make it up with loading it with lots of lettuce... The food however was pretty good I loved the sauces they allow you to place onto your bowl. This shop caters to the building and office workers not much to the public if you are looking to do a atop here. Not to sure if I will be returning here. Hopefully they open another location. Like I said the experience was a bust but the food was really Good! read more

Pokeway - Small and large bowl - Poke Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

I hate to write a bad review, but this probably one of the worst poke bowls I ever had... I should've heeded the bad reviews. I got the 2 choice bowl w/ yuzu wasabi ahi and wasabi aioli ahi. I don't think they put enough sauce, as I could barely taste it. Worst of all, fish was extremely MUSHY and did not seem fresh. I felt disgusted trying to eat my lunch. The only positive thing I have to say is that they are generous with their toppings. Thus, 2 stars. I won't be coming back... read more

Just got food poisoning from the spicy ahi. Normally a great go-to when I order tofu or something else but today was not great. Maybe it was not fresh or kept at the right temperature properly?

Pokeway 4 stars for friendly service and a fresh poke experience! Read below for a detailed review of each component. I ordered the medium bowl, which comes with 2 scoops of poke. I ordered it with multi-grain rice and spinach for my salad. I got one scoop of salmon and one scoop of hamachi. I went with yuzu wasabi for my sauce. For my toppings (you can choose up to 3), I added on green onion, Japanese cucumber and crab salad. Lastly I finished with a salad topping of crispy onions. Multi-grain rice & spinach: Their multi-grain rice is the standard black/purple colored rice that other poke places have. Very tasty and filling. I decided to go with the spinach because it has a lot of iron and it looked really fresh (and it was). Salmon & hamachi: If you've ever happened to read any of my other reviews where fish is involved, then you know how much I love salmon. This place did not disappoint! Both the salmon and hamachi were very fresh-tasting. None of that fishy taste/smell. Clearly they use quality fish here! Yuzu wasabi: I like citrus and I like a little heat, so when I saw this sauce option I had to give it a try. I would definitely get this again! I will say that I mostly tasted the yuzu and not too much of the wasabi, but regardless, the sauce was definitely the right compliment to the fresh fish. Toppings: The green onions and Japanese cucumbers were as you would expect. The crab salad was delish! I was a little bummed that they didn't have edamame, and nothing posted to indicate they were out. The fried onions were good too but I originally wanted fried garlic, which they also didn't have and again no posting. Service: There was a man working and a lady helping him. I'm guessing the man is the owner and the lady was a helper because he seemed to be training her while also servicing customers at the same time. I didn't really interact with her but the man was very friendly. He did a great job of balancing between training his helper and working the line. He was very pleasant, apologizing for the wait and thanking customers for their patience. Great job! Ambiance: This place is really just meant to order and go. It's very clean and well-lit. There are open seating tables (shared space with another eatery) where people can sit and eat. Overall experience: I enjoyed the food and their service. However, I will admit that the fact that they were out of several items that I wanted to order without any note or posting that they were out did have a slightly negative impact on my experience. But overall, still a great meal! Final words: Fresh fish, friendly service...I would definitely go back! Shameless plug: Like my reviews? Feel free to also check out other things I'm into by following me on IG: @kim_n_theworld :) LOVE my reviews? Prove it by voting. *wink* Thanks for reading! read more

Pokeway - Poke Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

I've been coming here for years and have always gotten my rice on the side. Today only the lady was there, and because I paid with cash $40 for a small and medium bowl which the total was $29.21 she gave me $8 change instead of $10 and said I had to pay $2 for the rice...but that WASNT the total listed on the screen. Watch out for her, I bet she kept it as tip money! There were others waiting so I didn't want to argue but I feel that is terrible service. If you're going to charge me, then it should be on the screen because if I paid with credit card I wouldn't have been charged the extra $2. read more

Very nice execution for the business district. Easy, fast, simple and customizable for picky eaters.

Pokeway - Poke Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Plain and simple, we eat a lot of Poke. Pokeway is by far the Best! We went on a whim as we just finished an appointment downtown. Pokeway is a little difficult to find as it is located inside the 1132 Bishop building. When it comes to food, my sense of direction becomes very keen... glad we made it! It was about 11:45am, and my son got the last portion of salmon. We both ordered the Large bowls which give you choice of rice, lettuce, 3 scoops of poke/fish choices and 3 sides. So what makes Pokeway better than all the rest? It's their quality of fish and the yummy sauces. You have a choice of what sauce they mix with your choice of fish. Also, their fish is cut in delicate pieces, the best quality pieces. Don't know how the average person likes their fish, but nothing turns me off more than a huge chunk with strings in it! So after today's visit, I am in love with their sesame sauce and the spicy. Sooo yummy and addicting. The sides are also generous and perfectly compliment the fish too. Crab salad is basic, but great along with the Ocean salad! If you love poke, you got to try Pokeway. read more

Same owner different menu. Formally known as O'bop!.dmall shop with friendly staff and owner. Located on the ground floor of 1132 Bishop street. It's a create your own poke bowl with lots of toppings you can choose from. The quality of the fish is top notch; very fresh. Talking to the owner that the fish are bought from the auction or caught at sea everyday, so you know it is fresh. When I come here, I always get the multi grain rice with half ahi and tako, yes they also have tako, shoyu mixed. You can expect the price to be a little pricey for even a small bowl, about $9. But if you check in on yelp, you get 20% off; good deal. Tho the cost is worth it. If you are nearby or work in downtown, come by and try them out. I'd definitely recommend this place for ahi bowl lovers.. read more

I've been passing this poke place as I head off on my daily lunch hunt and finally decided to brave the line and try their poke. I figured that it must be pretty good if people are willing to wait in line. There were about 5 or 6 people in front of us, and I was at the front of the line within 5 minutes. The first person which I'm guessing is the owner asks you what size bowl (small, medium or large) that you want and asks for your base (salad and rice, all salad or all rice). I got the multi-grain rice for my base. He then asks you which protein you want in your bowl. I went with the hamachi and salmon. Then, he asks you which sauce you want. I went with the dynamite. Then, he passes tour bowl off to another person along the counter and she mixes the fish with the sauce and places it on top of the base. She then asks you to pick 3 toppings. I couldn't choose just 3, so I got 4 (it's 99 cents extra per topping). I got cucumbers, ogo, crab salad and green onions. She then passes your bowl to the cashier, and she asks you if you want any additional (free) toppings. So I added furikake and garlic chips. I also got the miso soup for an additional 99 cents. When you get your chopsticks and napkins, there are bottles of the sauces next to the chopsticks, and small sauce containers (in case you want more sauce or want to taste the other sauces). I mixed together all the ingredients in my bowl and enjoyed a healthy and filling lunch. I wish that they would give a little more fish, but I'm guessing their rent is high so they need to carefully portion their ingredients. Overall, I thought that the ordering process was quite efficient and the product was comparable or better than the other poke places in downtown. I'll be back! read more

fast & convenient "healthier" option for a downtown lunch i like that there are 3 different kinds of lettuce you could pick from, other than just white/brown rice theres a ton of protein options, not just fish too. they also have chicken and kalua pig customize your bowl with a sauce and 3 additional toppings for free, any toppings after that you have to pay extra. downside is that the protein portion is rather small. small scoop of hamachi, which came out to 2.5oz. i guess theyre on the cheaper side, so maybe its ok. just wish there was more protein read more

A coworker of mine wanted to treat me to lunch because of my return from maternity leave. And what better meal could I think of other than the one I couldn't have the most during pregnancy, POKE!! I practically scarfed my food down that I forgot a picture. I ordered white rice, spicy ahi, spicy mayo sauce, and my choice of 3 sides was alllllll corn. Boy was it SPICY!! I'm not used to this level of spice so I practically gulped down my drinks. I appreciate how warm the corn was! Most places that I go to, the corn is hella cold, that's nasty to me.. The guy finishing the rest of my order was friendly and funny. I'm sure I'll be back weekly until I practically get over my long overdue cravings. read more

Located on the inside of the bottom floor of the First Hawaiian Tower / Pan Pacific Plaza. Recently came here on the suggestion of coworkers. They serve fresh fish based on the number of small ice cream scoops of fish that you choose along with quite a bit of sides to choose from. The service was friendly but I felt that the food was fairly pricey for the amount of fish they give you. That being said, they give you a lot of the other things in your order so it is a complete lunch. Come here if you're looking for a salad with a side of fish. They did run out of hamachi when I went so if you want the full amount of choices go early. Note that there is no sushi rice (white rice with vinegar) option but they do have multigrain rice. Overall a decent lunch option but there are a lot of sushi places in the downtown area competing for your dollar that might offer a bit more fish. 3 stars for now read more

Sampled this spot last week. As a fan of Poke & Box I was looking forward to trying this joint. Located inside 1132 Bishop St. Across from Cafe 1132 tucked in the corner. Small place with fresh ingredients. 1. Choose your size: Small Medium Large 2. Choose your rice or all salad: White Multi grain Or Brown or Salad 3. Protein: Ahi, Spicy Ahi (looked same), Salmon, Hamachi, Tako or Tofu 4. Sauce: Too many to remember 5. Salad Type: Spring, Romaine and 1 more I can't recall. All organic. 6. Toppings: Plenty 7. Salad Toppers My order was as follows: Medium on Multi Grain rice. Spicy Ahi with wasabi aioli and ahi with sesame with romaine. Topped with crab salad, masago and onions. And topped again with crispy garlic and crispy onions. It was all packed in a very nice and sturdy container that can be reused as my lunch container! Sizeble portion and I loved that the toppings weren't as stingy as other places. The amount of romaine added a great fresh crunch to the poke bowl. The wasabi aioli was okay and the sesame was delicious. At the condiments area they have bottles of sauce should you want to try. Tried the peanut butter (nope) and dynamite (bomb no pun intended). My friend had hers with the Korean which was too sweet for our taste. The guy helping us was very nice and friendly. I'd go back for sure and this place makes the cut on my downtown lunch rotation. read more
