    I've had a lot of poke in my life, but nothing compared to this place! Ono was closed so my friends and I were looking for an alternative, and were intrigued by their "Hawaiian Munchies" bowl. They have so many different options, and even hand rolls too! I got the Hawaiian munchies bowl but with salmon instead of tuna. I've never had salmon poke like this, the fish was so bouncy and fresh I ate the entire bowl in under 15 mins. It was the best first meal of the trip!! I highly recommend, the worker was also very friendly and patient with us as we were indecisive.

    First poke of the trip! Pretty good. Got 1/4 lb each My sis and I like the wasi sabi wasabi flavor best. The spicy mahi mahi was good too. We both liked the ahi tuna over the salmon, which is surprising since my sis is more of a salmon fan. My brother also got the yuzu miso ahi bowl, but that one was a little bit fishy. Overall pretty good

    Close to hotels and pretty good poke, although it cost twice what it does in local area of town and not as fresh. There were only two workers so it took a long time to get the food and seating was limited. Limited space inside and so had to line up outside to order and wait 15 to 20 minutes even during non-peak hours. Portions were good and spice level on Spicy Sato was very good. Every extra has a charge from 50 cents for soy sauce to the same for a bag.

    We landed in Hawaii and were feeling like a snack before we had reservations at happy hour elsewhere and stumbled across this gem. We tried the spicy ahi, shrimp, yuzu ahi hand rolls and they were all packed with flavor our favorite might've been the shrimp and yuzu ahi hand rolls. Definitely recommend if in the area.

    Macadamia Aburi Salmon!!!! Sato Seafood was on my list of places to try this trip, and it did not disappoint! First time having macadamia nuts on my poke, and it is a game changer for both flavor and texture. The salmon was super fresh and the rice was perfectly cooked. The poke is packed with flavor and the portion was just right.

    When we wanted a delicious and fast dinner one night, my husband and I landed here and while it's a take-out restaurant we were able to sit just outside and eat after ordering at the counter. The service was friendly and fast. The place doesn't look like much but the food is quite tasty with a range of options. We ordered shrimp tempura and a spicy poke and both were delicious. The rice wasn't as hot as we like but it didn't detract from the meal. It's on a busy street so ideally picking up from here and going in a picnic would be great. Or taking it home of course. The vibe is casual and the dishes are fresh.

    The best, unique tasting poke of our whole trip!! The aburi macademia salmon bowl here is to die for. The char mixed with the creamy sauce is so perfect. If you liked seared salmon nigiri with mayo, this is your dream poke bowl. The macademia nuts as a topping is also super unique and adds a lot of texture and rich flavor to the bowl. Staff were very kind and the food came out quickly. Highly recommend this spot!

    HOURS (5/5): Open EVERYDAY from 7:30am - 8:30pm! On the Main Street KUHIO AVE. AMBIANCE (3/5): It's a fast casual restaurant. Literally only big enough to order and 2 small tables outside to wait for your food or eat at if you want. FOOD (5/5): This was probably my FAVORITE poke bowl of the trip. I'm a toppings and saucy person, so you can add as much or as little as you want. They had some very unique dishes with MACADAMIA NUTS and TORCHED SALMON. Absolutely amazing! I highly recommend this place. $25 MACADAMIA ABURI SALMON (+add ginger, ikura, fried garlic): this is their most popular dish! I can see why, it's SO GOOD! I'd def make this a regular spot to visit on my trips here. OVERALL ( 4/5): This place is quick and to the point with AMAZING food & prices comparable to everywhere else but far better quality.

    Shoyu Tuna with avocado ($1.25 extra) and Salmon Ikura Handroll

    First day in Oahu and we were craving some good poke. The last time we came here we tried Foodland, but didn't get to try other small spots around the area. We stumbled upon this quaint seafood spot and were very glad that we did. Their fish was soooo fresh as if they just caught it that morning! I ain't even lying. Definitely one of the best hand rolls I've had -- everything melted together from the salmon to the seafood and the rice. Tucked together so nicely. Salmon portion was thickkkkk. Rice portion wasn't too much either. Their shoyu marinated tuna was flavorful -- subtle and not salty. They had an ample amount of fish serving on a bed of rice. I like how they give you options to add other things on your bowl, but the main idea is the quality of the fish here and man do they nawttt disappoint. Fish can be tender too. Coming here like everyday of the trip...

    I stopped and got one hand roll at lunch and dreamed about it the rest of the day so I came back at dinner and ordered more for my friends and I. The ladies there are so nice. It a small little shop where you order it for to go. The rolls taste very fresh and good. A very nice place to come when you are on the run.

    Small poke shop walkable from the beach. Limited seating in front of the store but would rather eat on the beach and enjoy the sunset. I got the macadamia abura sushi which comes with crushed macadamia nuts and torched poke salmon. The moment I got the bowl I could smell the torched salmon. The macadamia gives it a nice texture and buttery flavor. Rice was good and has some sauce on the bottom. Quick service ordered counter and called my name when ready. Would definitely come back for the same dish!

    ACTUALLY MY FAVORITE POKE SPOT OUT OF ALL THE ONES I'VE TRIED. I had the Macadamia Aburi Salmon bowl twice while I was here. It's made fresh to order, and the flavors are unlike anything I have ever tasted in a poke bowl. The ratio is immaculate. This spot is located near Marugame Udon (which typically has the long line), but make sure you check it out on your trip!

    Cute poke hole in the wall location, found on Tiktok went to try their macadamia nut aburi salmon. It was alright! I really like their fish quality but I think macadamia nut and aburi salmon didn't quite work together for me. I found flavors to be clashing. I think if had their regular poke bowls I would actually rlly like it! Because their salmon poke was really good under all the macadamia and the torched bits. I normally like macadamia nuts and aburi salmon too. Otherwise liked the place, seems family owned too!

    Macadamia Aburi Salmon, yummy as always, but way smaller than last time I had it

We ended up getting a piece of hula pie to share with the table instead. It was delicious as always, plenty to share among three people, and I love that it's served on its own special plate with special sporks that say hula pie on them. It was pretty sunny and hot that day and there are no umbrellas on the patio, so good thing I was wearing sunscreen or I'd fry. Service was prompt although as it got busier it got a little slower. Delicious for hula pie but if your heart is set on a drink in a pineapple, you cannot get it here.

I went to leave a review because our experience was great again, but was surprised when I opened yelp to find one already typed out. At first I thought it was an AI suggestion. All this to say, Tiki's is a must if you're walking down Waikiki! There's also FREE 3-hour parking downstairs when you visit. Tom told us of the daily happy hour from 2-5 and late night, and occasionally live music! Original visit (2021): We left the beach in search of a cool place to grab a bite and enjoy some beers! Tiki was the perfect spot! Our wait was short and our food came out quick! Our bartenders Marteen (sp?) and Kama not only provided excellent service, but were a pleasure to talk to!
