    Souza special
    Michelle N.

    My new favorite poke spot on the island! The cold ginger ahi poke is so good and unlike anything I've ever seen anywhere else. Went here twice in one week! The Souza special sashimi plate was good with very high quality fish but I think I prefer the poke. Their imitation crab salad is also very good. The house special was less flavorful than the Maui onion crunch and cold ginger poke. All were tasty but the cold ginger poke is definitely our favorite!! There's not really much parking so bring someone who can hop out and grab the food.

    Fish house chirashi bowl

    One of the best chirashi style bowls I've had. The fish is top notch quality. The surprise for me was the crab salad, as a side, one of the best crab salads I've ever had.

    Trio deluxe

    I couldn't deny all the photos of the fresh fish! Was expecting to splurge a lot of $ but the price is really reasonable esp for the chutoro/otoro which is usually hella expensive for just the fish itself. Got the chutoro/otoro and trio deluxe donburis, as well as 1/4 Spice Hurricane and Maui Onion poke... SO GOOD AND SO FRESH. The sashimi had such vibrant colors with a nice thick cut. Both donburi's were filling. I actually preferred the chutoro over the otoro as the otoro was super buttery imo but that's just me. Fish overall was 10000/10! Limited parking but was able to park down the street and walked. It was a little busy and we had to wait maybe like 10-15min for our food but it's well worth it.

    Coming off a long flight from Chicago, I wanted good local and non-touristy place that served fresh poke and this was the spot! I had a 2 poke combo plate and took a whim on choices because they had so much to offer. My brain has fireworks upon the first bite and I finished the whole thing in no time. It's a small, to-go designed place with very limited seating. The service was excellent as they were so patient on my first time visit. I would 100% recommend this place over and over again.

    We picked up the Trio for a quick lunch. The sushi rice was a little sweet for my taste, but the fish was really fresh and everything else tasted great! They only have a few parking stalls and the surrounding area is pretty crowded so parking might be an issue if you are stopping by by yourself. Overall a great place for poke bowls and sashimi donburi's and will definitely be going back.

    Fresh fish. Taste was great! Service was quick & staff was polite. Clean space. Limited parking or street parking available. Came here after going to container land for dried marlin and the owner suggested we check his son's shop out. So we came. My friend had also posted about this place. Happy we made the stop! Ono poke! Reasonable price especially for fresh fish. Will be back again!

    So good!!!!!!

    This place has grown on me even more than before. FANTASTIC and it's saving me a lot of gas in my car because it's right around the corner!!!!!! Listen, this place is so good that there's no need to go anywhere else for fresh fish. They have all the best tasting fish all in one spot with meticulous cuts. It is a fantastic place!!!!! Everyone loves this place !!!!!

    Takeout spot. Delicious and fresh fish can be found here for an affordable price which is RaRE these days... it's in an unassuming area in Mapunapuna surrounded by auto shops, dealerships, etc. if it wasn't for yelp or google I would've never found this place. I tried the Laotian flavor poke bowl. It's pretty good but my favorite is still their chirashi bowl coz that's when the fresh fish flavor could shine. The cuts of the sashimi were amazing, no stringiness and just full of fish fatty goodness. I'd say the quality was comparable to some omakase places! Went in there at 10:30 and I wasn't the only one lol. That gotta be a popular spot! It's such a great spot to stop by when you drop off your car at the dealership. Can't wait to eat there again.

    Our sashimi set up for cocktail hour

    Absolutely AMAZING experience with Souza's Fish House every time! My family and I honestly cannot say enough good things about Souza's Fish House and how incredible our experience was having him be part of our wedding day! He has also catered sashimi for my father in-law's birthday and his work just never disappoints which is why my mother in law wanted to order from him again for our wedding. My in-laws actually surprised my fiancé and I by getting Souza's Fish House for our wedding, and we are SO grateful they did. We had a beautiful sashimi setup prepared for our guests, enough for up to 150 people, and not only was everything absolutely fresh and delicious, but he went above and beyond and threw in extras for us! That was such an unexpected and thoughtful gesture, and our guests absolutely loved it. It was definitely one of the highlights of our wedding for cocktail hour. We had so many people come up to us throughout the night telling us how amazing the sashimi was and the overall presentation. When you're hosting a wedding with so many guests, you always hope everyone enjoys the food, but it was so nice hearing so many compliments about it all night long! Beyond the food, what really stood out was how kind, accommodating, and generous he was. You could genuinely tell that Ryan cared about making our experience special and wanted to make sure we had more than enough for our guests. That kind of service and aloha means SO much, especially on such an important day. He surprised us with our own heart shaped sashimi platter that we were given at our sweetheart table so we wouldn't have to worry about missing out on what our guests got to enjoy. It was the most thoughtful addition and we truly appreciated it! We are incredibly grateful to our in-laws for gifting us this experience and to Souza's Fish House for helping make our wedding even more memorable. The fish was amazing and fresh, the generosity was beyond what we expected, and the entire experience was 10/10! If you're looking for fresh, delicious sashimi and someone who truly goes above and beyond for their customers, we HIGHLY recommend Souza's Fish House! Thank you so much for being part of our wedding day! We will definitely be recommending you to everyone we know and look forward to ordering through Souza's Fish House once again!

    I was craving poke nachos and came across Souza's Fish House in Mapunapuna. Although it was a bit of a drive to get there, I was determined to go based on all the 5 star reviews. And let me tell you, it definitely lived up to all the hype! This is a little hole -in-the-wall in an industrial area. There's only a few parking spots in front, so you'll need to find street parking if you're not one of the lucky ones. Upon arrival, I was greeted by the friendliest employees! I ordered the Poke Nachos (2 choices) for $20. I chose the Shoyu Ahi and the Hawaiian Salt Ahi. I asked if they could separate the poke from the chips since I planned to eat it later on, and they kindly put the poke in separate containers so I could keep the poke cold in my fridge. When I finally dived into my poke nachos, it was so delicious! I combined everything together and it was one of the best poke nachos I've ever had. The fish was so fresh and they were generous with the poke portions. I would highly recommend this place for poke, and I will definitely return soon to try some of their other items!

    This place is a hidden gem! Don't blink while driving down here or you will miss the tiny parking area they have. They do have a couple of stalls in the front but other than that it's street parking. That being said, the garlic ahi poke and Souza Special I had were delicious. It was fresh and the perfect amount of rice to fish ratio. We also called in our order while on the way there and it was ready to go by the time we got there 10 mins later. The shop is clean and bright and I will definitely be back again.

    Decided to finally give this place a try after seeing it a few times when driving by. All the fish here is Sooooo fresh. The flavors are all on point. Parking is small in front but there's some street parking. You only come in quick anyways. Great costumer service and they threw in some miso soup for us and it was a rainy day so it was perfect. They're awesome. They can torch the fish if you want, I had them torch salmon because I'm pregnant. Yeah sad I couldn't fully enjoy it but I am definitely coming back for the little nibbles I was able to taste. I'm already hooked. Lol They also got come little desserts in the fridge for purchase and cute hair clips I was so tempted to buy. Hole in the wall spot glad we found it.

    Souza's Fish House is a hidden gem. I finally, got a chance to stop in. It's located in the Mapunapuna area. Parking can be challenging but it's worth the wait to find one. Staff was very friendly. As busy as they were, they manage to greet us as we walked-in. This place is for takeout orders only. We had the Hurricane Bowl and the Spicy Ahi Bowl. It looks like the proportions are small, but the dish was deep and had a generous amount inside. I gotta say it was super flavorful and tasty with the crab salad on the side. There was a seasoned cuttlefish on the side which was superb. All their fish is served fresh. That's what makes it sooo good! I will be back to try other items on my next visit.

    Is there a place to sit down and eat?

    Not really - There's 2 small benches against the walls but that's more for where people can sit and wait for their order.

Ladies in the counter were very friendly. We ordered 4 different types of hot taco. -fish taco - 10/10 - 4 beer battered fish with slaw and it was freaking delicious!

Even though I arrived after the ready/prepared pick up time, I still had to wait 10 more minutes because they still had to put the order together. The price is quite steep, so again...glad I tried here but I won't be a returning customer.

I like coming here because you can eat while enjoying live music, which makes for a fun atmosphere. This past visit was a little disappointing though (first pic). I usually order the ahi medium because I like it a little more cooked, but this time it came out closer to well done. I feel like it's always a little hard to know what cooking level to ask for because it seems to vary each time. I've been coming here over the years and have had plenty of good experiences, so I'm giving it 4 stars overall. But if I were rating just this most recent visit, it would definitely be closer to a 3.
