~ Get the Poke ~ The best poke I've had! So flavorful and I love the sea asparagus they add in. Fast service. Has a small parking lot. More of a to-go experience read more

Saw nice reviews on Yelp and was nearby post beach. It's convenient, delicious, fresh and have so many choices to choose from. The ice teas are also very delicious and not too sweet. I love the plain pokes like salmon and hamachi and added the citrus ponzu sauce. But the crowd favorite and spicy tobiko is also very scrumptious so I will say you won't go wrong with any of the choices. I like the fresh vegetables that is mixed in with their poke. The staff are friendly and the prices comes to around $40 for one small and one large bowl with an ice tea. The shop is very cozy and very island vibes with chickens outside if you decide to eat there. Will go back again! read more

We wanted to grab a bite to eat before our golf round at Royal Hawaiian, so we hopped on Yelp and found this spot and we are glad we did! We got there just after opening and the lady behind the counter was super nice and kinda talked us through the menu. We ended up going with a 1/4lb of poke, and their combo plate with kalbi and shrimp. I think my least favorite was the shrimp. It was standard with not standout flavors but the Kalbi, that was the one I keep thinking about. While it was room temp, it was still hella good. I don't know if they pre-cook it or what but either way, that's something I'd eat every day if I could. Tender, flavorful, just so damn good. 10/10 would recommend their kalbi and be sure to get some of their spicy sauce which is vinegar based I think, because it elevates the dish. Also grab a side of their mac salad because that was tasty too! I think the prices were pretty fair considering the portion sizes. If you are looking for a quality bite that won't break the bank, this is a spot I'd definitely recommend if you are in the area. read more

My husband and I made a quick pit stop here before heading to the beach, and I have to say... it did not disappoint! They really give you a great bang for your buck, and there are SO many options to choose from. One thing that stood out is that they weigh the poke by the pound rather than serving it by scoops, which I personally think is a better approach. They also have a wide selection of both alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks, which made it an even better stop. If there's one thing I would skip, it would be the japchae--it just didn't impress us. Overall, the service was great and had a welcoming, family-like feel. I would definitely come back! read more

Good food, great portions. The owner and staff were very friendly and nice. There are a couple tables outside if you wanted to dine there. Lots of variety to choose from, you don't even have to order poke if you want something cooked. They even have different sides. Overall, the taste and texture were better than average, but I also wouldn't say it's the best I've ever had. However, if you are in the area and hungry, definitely worth stopping by! read more

A must try! We finished our pillbox hike and stopped at The Hibachi for lunch, they got a little store inside with a deli vibe for the foods. Service was helpful and quick. The poke was fresh and tasty, but I was curious and got the carne asada skewers.. oh man, these were the most tender and best tasting skewers I ever had in my life!! Good bbq sweet taste and juicy meat, polished off a coke zero.. this place hit the spot! I'm definitely making the drive to eat here again next time I visit read more

This is our favorite poke place in Kailua! The food is *mwah* and the staff is nice! The shop is clean and well-stocked with good food and lots of drinks and snacks. There's a parking lot and a restroom in the parking lot area that you can borrow a key for. Our favorites are the hamachi (soo good), the spicy Thai peanut, and the salmon. We also like the ocean salad and the sea asparagus. We haven't tried their grilled items but always want to- it's just hard to decide when we always want their poke! Natalie is so friendly and she's always working hard to make super delicious food! read more

The food was a major disappointment. It was disgusting, i couldn't even eat half of it before giving it away to the chickens running around the parking lot. I was hoping I wouldn't get sick from the little I did eat. The ahi fried rice had a spoiled smell and the texture was off. It reminded me of old fried rice that's been sitting around outside of the fridge for too long and was about to become really rancid. The shrimp was overcooked and lacked flavor. The kalbi was horrible. It was chewy, dry, flavorless. It reminded me of swap meet jerky. Look at my picture, anyone can see that it doesn't even look like Kalbi. The sides were meh. My gf got a poke bowl and we were shocked that cold rice was already in the bowl just sitting around waiting for someone to buy a bowl. Also Hardly enough rice to call it a poke bowl. The poke was meh. I would never go back to this place and I suspect they bought all the yelp reviews because ain't no way it's a 4.4 star place. I should've read the reviews because a lot of bad ones similar to my experience. Stay far away from this scam. I feel sorry for all the tourists that don't know how poke bowls and hibachi food should taste. read more

Don't let the name fool you, it's no people cooking in front of you but this place is bomb. When when you walk in it's giving deli with the counter and you can see the food in the glass right. You pick out what you want and then go pay for it at the counter. Eli took care of us. We tell him we never been and we were visiting and he got us right. We ordered the teriyaki rice, chicken plate with white rice and added a garlic shrimp skewer. Are two sides, kimchi cabbage and the Korean glass noodles . Everything was good. I say go. read more

We were looking for a plate lunch on a drive around the island and we stopped here based on the good Yelp reviews. We parked in the back and were a bit surprised that there wasn't anywhere to sit inside- it was just like a market inside. There were a few tables to sit on the porch and sidewalk, so we ordered our lunch and ate it outside. I got a chicken teriyaki plate and upgraded to the Ahi fried rice. My wife got a regular poke bowl, and the kiddo got a kid's spam musubi bowl. The poke bow was decent. My chicken plate was very generous on portion but the chicken a little dry and I wasn't a fan of the Ahi fried rice. It had a very "earthy" taste to it and ended up tossing a good chunk of the fried rice. The spam musubi bowl needed the most improvement. Simple concept, stir fried spam cubes with furikake over rice. However, it was swimming in soy sauce! It was like rice soup. Thankfully when we complained that our kid wasn't eating rice like this, they gave us another serving of rice but in the end, not much of the dish was eaten and we ended up having to purchase some sushi across the street at the market to satisfy the kid for lunch. Maybe we got this place on a bad day or ordered the wrong things but with 2 of the 3 dishes not satisfying, I'd take a pass the next time around. read more

There are a lot of great reviews so maybe we came on an off day. There's poke and grilled kabobs inside a small market. I ordered 2 Poke bowls with four items: Plain poke, spicy oyster, spicy masago, and salmon poke I thought the poke was a bit too salty and a bit slimy We also ordered grilled kabobs with macaroni salad and crab salad. The kabobs meat was chewy and tough read more

Like to give two in a half star: Poke plate with choices of two sides and two or three poke. Almost $25 for a hefty plate. The ferment onion is good but Korean noodle doesn't taste like Korean style. Different flavor but ok. Thai spicy basil(expecting unique flavor boomb but no) and spicy taboki wasn't spicy nough to be tasty. Fish is gray specially during lunch time around 11am. Def not fresh hoping to be freshly made at least. Regular shoyu poke on the side that's a quarter lb is pretty salty. Thought be good to add more shoyu but that was a mistake. Lastly, only decent plate was the chicken katsu was freshly fried, fresh brown rice and Mac salad was good. Wish I could say I wanted to go back. At least try hot foods next time with cold alcohol beverage in the future. read more

Fantastic fresh poke, kind service, and great mango iced tea. The mini poke bowl was enough for me. My husband is allergic to sesame so they made him a fresh batch with no sesame oil or sesame. I appreciate the owners accommodating us, and allowing us both to enjoy their great food. I highly recommend! read more

Portions were large, service was quick but quality was meh. We had a variety of plates and were not blown away with anything. Shrimp was over cooked and dry Kalbi was pretty good, mild flavor Poke was good Katsu was okay- breaking was good flavor was meh, texture was fatty The skewer platter had steak (decent), ahi belly (best thing) , shrimp (over cooked and dry) The garlic chicken plate was more like sweet and sour. The kimchee was not kimchee, it was cabbage soaked in soy sauce The glass noddles were overwhelmed with sesame seed oil Price was pretty high for the quality read more

For a simple meal after going to the beach in Kailua, it's alright. Didn't try the poke but maybe next time. The chicken katsu curry with sides were alright. The chicken katsu curry rice was tasty, but the sides were underwhelming. The cabbage kimchi was nothing close to what kimchi should be. This was more like pickled cabbage with vinegar and some chili flakes. The imitation crab salad was alright but a little on the plain side which didn't give it any nice flavor. The boneless kalbi rice bowl is NOT recommended. The meat was very chewy and we pretty much tossed most of it because it was just not worth chewing on it. read more

Every time I'm in Kailua, Hibachi is a must-stop spot for me. I recently had their Ahi and Salmon poke bowl again, and it was just as amazing as I remembered. The ahi is incredibly fresh, and the salmon is perfectly fatty and buttery. The shoyu-based sauce with a touch of sweetness, sesame oil, onions, and green onions brings everything together so well--it's the kind of flavor that makes you want to savor every bite. The portion size is generous, and I always leave feeling completely satisfied. It's easy to see why both locals and visitors love this place. I'll definitely be coming back next time I'm in town! read more

If we can't be honest what's the point?! Bummed cuz I had high hopes after seeing the Yelp reviews and the food pics. After eating a ton delish food on the north shore, Waikiki and honolulu I wanted to try something on this side of the island. Sigh I hate giving terrible reviews to mom and pop shops who put a lot of love and energy into their food. so with reluctance I will share my experience. After spending half the day in lani kai hiking pillbox, snorkeling, and playing vball I was starving along as was my crew. We all new hibachi was where we were gonna feed our hunger. Arrived and ordered poke(tuna and salmon), Teri and Kalbi combo and with japchae and potatoe salad, and a bbq skewer combo with beef chicken and ahi. We also got Thai tea(delish) We first dove into the poke and we all liked the salmon but the tuna had a funky fishy flavor. Food land over is better no fish funk. We got on the plate lunches and we all took a few bites and it was awkwardly quite. We all looked at each other and a few spit out their bites and a few of us including my force swallowed their bites. There was something in fresh about the meats it made me feel uneasy about putting another bite in my mouth. There was also an overwhelming amount of cumin used more than should be. It lead to all of us just closing the lids and putting it in the trash. I'm gonna chock it up to maybe a bad day or batch, I dunno. I don't think I will come back and give this place another try. I'm glad others have found this place and enjoyed their food I hope all other will have better experiences than I moving forward. read more

This place is known for its poke and has good reviews, so we decided to give it a try since we are near the area. My husband got a poke bowl, with one of their poke specials and hamachi, I tried some of it and it was underwhelming. I wasn't in the mood for poke, so I opted for a safer local choice: the BBQ chicken, ahi fried rice, tofu salad, and choy sum on the side. I really wanted to like this place and support a local business, but unfortunately, there was nothing to like about my plate lunch, their drinks, nor their service. Our order was taken by a trainee, and the process took longer than expected. While I understand that trainees are still learning, it impacted the overall experience, especially since I waited more than 30 minutes for the food, only to be let down by what I received. The BBQ chicken was overly salty and lacked that char flavor you expect from grilled BBQ chicken. I was excited for the ahi fried rice, but it turned out clumpy, overcooked, with some pieces that are hard to bite, almost like it stuck to the pan too long. As for the sides, the tofu salad was bland, and the choy sum was bitter and salty too. Also, the plantation iced tea I ordered was watered down. For what we paid, the food and drinks didn't really justify the price, unfortunately. read more

We left the beach and were starving, so we started looking for places to eat. We ordered the teri chicken with rice. We weren't sure if we would like any of the sides, so we decided to skip them, but retrospectively we should have tried something new. The food came out quick and we were excited to eat. I personally avoid chicken thich at all costs, but this one was amazing. It had great flavor and was a great size to share. My only complaint would be that I wish it was cooked on a grill or had that char to it. Regardless, it was amazing and had an interesting smokeyness to it. They're doing something great here. Definitely recommend if you're over by the beach. read more

Too bad I didn't take pics of our food. It was amazing! The service was great, too. The freshest and probably the best Poke I've had.

Chickens and roosters will keep you company on the patio :) read more

I've never ever had bad poke in Hawaii...until I tried the Hibachi. My husband and I were craving poke after a day at Lanikai, so we consulted Yelp and found this spot. The ahi they use here is absolutely not fresh - the flesh of the fish was grey instead of the beautiful deep red you usually see. The texture was mushy and it tasted fishy. We've never encountered such poor quality ahi on all the islands. Quite honestly, this was actually worse than poke on the mainland! We took a few bites and threw away the rest. I feel really bad for writing this because the owners were friendly and welcoming, but we are absolutely shocked that a place serving such awful poke could survive in Oahu. read more

While in Kailua, everytime I yelp food or restaurants, The Hibachi always pops up. So, today, we were hungry, in Kailua, and ended up coming here since it was yelp's recommendation. The Hibachi is across from Tokyo Central in Kailua. They have a small parking lot. As we walked in, I was surprised, cuz i thought was like a sit in place to eat, but it was a like a small market, poke shop kine. Once you walk in, cashier right in front and poke counter to the right. All the poke's looked so good, but the menu was just a little bit too much for me (part of reason missing Star). It's a good thing that they have a lot to choose from, but there was a lot to read everywhere lol, got the hanging menu, the container to look at all the different poke's, meat, sides, and all the little writings everywhere. My head was just going in circles, up and down trying to read everything. It was a little overwhelming, but the guy was very helpful and started explaining choices, and what not. I ended up just getting a teriyaki chicken bowl just chicken and rice (you have the option of plate that you can pick 2 sides) and the wife got lamb chop and carne asada skewer plate. So cool, cuz they grill the meat right there in the back where the parking lot is! So, they actually have tables outside in the front to sit down and eat, and you can smell the bbq aroma, smell so good lol. So funny cuz I thought the side of the outdoor seating was a separate business, but was the same. Best part was we got to feed our burning hungry tummy's. The wife really enjoyed her lamb chop and carne asada skewer plate. For her sides, she got japchae and tofu. She said she definitely would come back for that plate again. I did sample a piece of her carne, and man, it was good. I wasn't too fond of my chicken plate (other part of reason missing star), I was thinking going be like LNL bbq chicken kine, but it was teriyaki chicken! Lol that's my bad, cuz the Teri chicken is teri chicken, but I was sad, cuz i was just hungry, and it wasn't what I wanted and I didn't get to brag and say "oh my gosh, this is so gooood" lol like the wife did. I'd definitely go back to try the poke and other stuff tho. I'll study the menu first before I go, so I'd already know what I want! But it's a 10/10 recommend. Go check them out guys! read more

The shop is a bit small, but clean and the food is presented where you can see it. They cook it fresh for you, which I really appreciate.

Friends and I were at Kailua beach for a few hours and wanted to grab some food before we headed back to the hotel. Definitely wanted something fresh.. this place had a lot of great reviews so we gave it a try. People were friendly. And a lot of choices. They have cooked food for those who don't like poke or raw fish fyi. I got two different kinds of ahi. They were both ok. I wasn't super impressed. Fish was fishy which means wasn't fresh.. I wanted to love it because it's a local spot. Mac salad needed something in it as well. read more

A great poke place with different flavor selections!! We were on a nearby beach and this one was the closest and so glad we came across this place because their poke were SO BOMBBB!! I ordered the Spicy Oyster Ahi, so flavorful and the spiciness was just right. My best friend got a customized plate of just ahi, onion, rice, and soy sauce because she is allergic to sesame oil which all of their products have. The employees were so nice and accommodating and shout out to the guy who customized my best friend's plate!! We both ordered small plates and we were so full after! They have an ample parking lot at the back of the store and minimal outdoor seating so we decided to just eat in the car. I definitely recommend this to my friends and family!! read more

A fresh, well-seasoned, and delicious poke spot not far from Lanikai Beach, where we were coming from. As the name suggests, they also have a wide variety of grill items that they make on a grill out back. The menu looks a little chaotic on first glance but is really expansive. The rest of the shop is actually a small convenience/food store, but there is some patio seating outside. Would recommend. read more

The Hibachi - Half salmon half spicy tuna - Seafood Markets Near Me - Kailua, Hawaii

After an early morning, I was craving some poke, so we found this spot close to where we were. It's a small shop, but they have lots to offer! There was minimal seating outside, but we managed to get a seat. We had lots of questions, all of which the guy at the counter politely answered. Everything looked so great, so I chose a few of their top choices for the poke. My boyfriend chose from the grill options. I got the salmon, a few ahi tuna choices, the crab salad; ocean salad as the sides. My boyfriend got the boneless Kalani with Japanese potato salad and the Korean glass noodles as his sides. My first initial bite of the poke was great! However when it came to the sides, it was incredibly salty. I love salty foods, but these were over the top. The poke was super fresh, but I couldn't finish my sides. As for my boyfriend's grilled plate, he was expecting actual grilled kalbi, but this just seemed to be a cheaper cut of steak with galbi marinade. It wasn't what we were expecting, and super pricey for what it was. His was also on the salty side. If anything, the best dish was his Japanese potato salad. While I appreciate how loaded our plates were, it was hard to finish because of all the salt. Order carefully for the grilled items as well! read more

Food (4.75/5): Came here with a party of three after doing Koko Crater and Halona Blowhole hikes--got the ahi, salmon, spicy tobiko, Mac salad, choy sum, and ocean salad. The ocean salad was a bit salty (I suppose that is the point hence "ocean"), but the poke itself was really fresh and flavorful! The Mac salad was also spectacular. My favorite poke was the spicy tobiko, was not very spicy but quite flavorful and tasty! Service (4.5/5): Very friendly staff who were happy to make recommendations. Ambiance (4/5): Quick service with take and go. Nothing particularly special. We took the poke to Bellows beach and ate the poke on a rock by the ocean -- such a mood! read more
