Make your own poke bowl! I was able to make a fully vegan poke bowl. Fantastic! The server was friendly and helpful. Located in an outdoor shopping center there are outdoor seating options that allow the fresh salty air to breeze past. A bit pricey since it's in a tourist destination location but the serving size is good for the price. Will definitely return.
If you are staying at the Aluani Disney Resort or the surrounding establishments and are looking for a quick bite nearby, this is a perfectly average 3.5 star poke place. I would call it a tourist trap but considering the area it's at, I think that's a given. Seen some reviews call it horrible, some call it the best. As usual, the truth is somewhere in the middle. The poke bowl here is not the worst but it's far from the best Hawaii has to offer. If you have the option and time, definitely look elsewhere! You can get this quality on the mainland, too. Had the salmon, tuna, and octopus. They were all average. The fish was fresh but not juicy or full of flavor; rather bland really. You can tell they don't really go for the highest quality here. As far as the base, both the spring mix and brown rice were decent. Similarly, the add-ons such as the edamame, cucumber, crab salad and others were perfectly mediocre. Compared to many of the famous places around the island, this place is not even in the same conversation so hopefully for those who choose to go there, they do so knowingly. The place itself is small but clean. The staff is helpful and on top of things. Not much more to say on this really. Overall, only come here if you are ok to settle and are in a hurry or can't make it to many of the amazing poke places around the island. If you are looking for the best, keep looking - this isn't it.
This is one of my favorite places in the KoOlina Center for food. It's not as pricey. Fresh. You can choose to sit in & dine or order to go (through DoorDash) It's so quiet in there. You always can enjoy the nature. The food you're enjoying. Your surroundings. Not to mention they're so kind in there! They always make sure to give the correct order how you like it. Which I love! They're so considerate. I love it!! Thank you so much for making such yummy food & having your store so clean for everyone :)
If you're visiting Hawaii looking for an authentic poke spot, AVOID this restaurant!!! This has to be the worst poke place I've ever eaten at and don't wish for anyone tourists to waste their money here thinking this is authentic... I am honestly so surprised at the abundance of good reviews for this poke spot. We decided to go here on our last day in Hawaii because it was close to the lagoons we wanted to sit by for sunset. We should have known that it was touristy due to the location. I have nothing positive to say about the bowls we ordered. The fish was low quality, did not seem fresh at all. The crab salad tasted horrible and nothing like crab - I couldn't even finish it.
First for a poke spot the price is way too much for the portion. You can easily make better kind at home or go to foodland farms and choose either fresh or previously frozen whatever you prefer and save a lot of money. Service isn't really big and the ambiance is nice.
Very trendy (looks relatively new inside) Pretty fresh poke that they make when you order. I had the traditional which is ahi tuna and octopus. Ahi is fresh as you would expect in HI. The octopus was top notch (we're stopping thru from Japan so we're super critical right now. Others at the table hand a make-your-own and tonkatsu meal. Poke again was excellent. The tonkatsu had a nice crisp but flavor and the fry pales to what you can get in Japan
I used to go here about 2-3 times a month and whenever I craved it. I always get the regular poke bowl on sushi rice with two times fresh ahi and one time salmon. The vegetables I add are edamame, corn, cucumber, seaweed salad, and green onions. The sauces I add are creamy spicy and signature shoyu. Finally, the toppings I add are furikake and fried garlic. The food itself tastes great most of the time (definitely depends on the worker making your food). Some are very generous and some are very stingy. The workers don't go above and beyond for their customers. The best tip is if you want a flavourful poke, ask for extra sauce. Sometimes they don't add enough causing it to taste like sashimi. I spend about $20 on the bowl. For the amount of food I get, it is overpriced.
Visited Tropic Poke for the first time and had an overall great visit. We were staying at Aulani and this was a quick walk across the street to enjoy some good food, friendly service, and a quick, convenient meal. My husband and I each ordered a poke bowl, regular and small, respectively. The bowls were generously filled and the products tasted fresh and of good quality. We especially liked their crab salad. Their take on it was unlike others we've tasted from home. So good! The establishment itself was clean and welcoming. They have a few tables and seats inside for costumers to dine in as well as a few on the outside. Our overall ordering process went smoothly and was relatively quick. Aside from being friendly, the staff worked diligently to ensure their line of customers did not wait for too long while still piecing orders together with care and concern. A successful first visit, we would definitely return to Tropic Poke in the future.

While on our vacation at Aulani, we discovered Tropic Poke. My kids ate here every day. To quote my youngest, "Good food. Nice people." I totally agree. read more

Excellent poke! I got a small bowl with ahi, salmon, cucumber, edamame, ginger, avocado, and seaweed salad and the shoyu and creamy spicy sauces. Fish melts in your mouth and toppings are all very fresh. Calm and relaxing ambiance inside. read more

Poke is popular in Hawaii that I will have Everytime I visit here. This shop is right across the Aulani Disney Resort that we can walk over in 10-15 minutes after a conference. We were looking for dinner & this seems a convenient location but we saw no customer inside. Just gave it a try. Disregard the price, we really enjoy what we had ordered. They put thousand island dressing to our poke bowl. Perhaps we should have asked for teriyaki soy sauce instead next time. Poke are fresh and taste real good. That filled up our tummies. We love them! read more
There are some many places to have poké in Hawaii that it can be challenging to make a decision. Lucky for us, this was close by and their poké was fantastic! I love how you get to pick your own proteins and toppings. Spicy ahi, fresh ahi and salmon, pineapple, seaweed salad, crispy onion drizzled with a creamy spicy sauce on a bed of sushi rice! Sooo good! Also had 2 other custom bowls as well as their fried shrimp bowl. Soooo tasty! read more

Mediocre, underflavored, overall lackluster poke. I get better poke at home in California. Hardly any sauce was added, and what I could taste of the sauce it was just okay. The ratio of rice to toppings was off. Unfortunately there aren't many walking distance dining options from Aulani. read more
We landed here based on the Yelp reviews. The poke was so fresh. The food was plentiful and fresh. The server was very friendly and helpful. My husband has a discriminating palate. He said " when we come back here" vs " if we come back here". We will definitely return again during our stay and definitely recommend this place as a must to eat in Ko'olina. read more

Saw this place as I was walking to our hotel from the local abc store and decided to give it a try . Fresh and delicious. Left happy . Restaurant was kept clean and they service was good . Few chairs inside and outside for seating. Some hot food available as well. read more
My Grandma wanted to try this place this past weekend for dinner while we were staying at one of the resorts. I yelped it and it looked interesting. There was a lot of parking but you do have to pay, I think it's $2.50 an hour. We walked in and the place was empty. The two girls who were working didn't even greet us or smile & it seemed like they didn't even want to help our group of 8. I ordered a large bowl and chose salmon 2x and garlic shrimp. I had most of the add ons, even corn. Although I told one of the girls that I didn't want corn (who tf adds corn to poke?!). The salmon didn't taste fresh and the garlic shrimp didn't really taste like garlic shrimp. It was basically chopped up Costco cocktail shrimp. This was nastiest "poke bowl" I've ever had in my life. I just had to suck it up and eat it because it was my Grandmas treat and she hates when people waste food. read more

Excellent food, quality service, great ambiance! They have Korean food here too which is one of my favorite cuisines and the vegetarian poke tastes amazing!!!! read more
Delectable. So fresh. So light. LOTS of food. Such a great spot for a bite. Got the small brown rice with spicy ahi and salmon. Lots of toppings to enjoy. They walk it down the line. They are nice people. Great new spot that you should definitely check out for fresh seafood and filling food that is light and delicious at the same time. read more

I got a brown rice/spring mix base, salmon, spicy ahi, garlic shrimp, edamame, pineapple, green onion, crab salad, corn, seaweed salad, ginger, signature shoyu and creamy spicy sauce topped with furikake, crispy onion and sesame seed.

Thank you so much for the great review.
???? What. Wanted poke after a beach day and this was on the way back so I decided to stop. I got the traditional bowl which was not traditional. It had octopus in it and the girl made it SO fast. I felt like the fish wasn't that fresh, it was just average. It came with some normal toppings but nothing over the top. Portion was huge so it was nice that I was hungry but it definitely wasn't what I expected. I ended up feeling rather crappy after eating so I'm not sure why this is so hyped up. The service was ok. Inside was ok. I wouldn't be back. read more
WOW. We just came here for lunch after snorkeling and cannot believe the freshness of the food. Poke is absolutely top tier and beats anything we've had on the mainland. We just best the lunch rush and service was wonderful. The tables were empty when we arrived and full when we left-- and we can see why. This is the best shrimp poke I've had, and my boyfriend said the ahi is so fresh it melts in his mouth. I'm sure we'll be back for more later this week. read more

Had friends staying at Aulani so decided to try this place since it is close by. Got their regular ahi salmon bowl. You can choose different flavors you would like and bases. The fish and veggies were fresh and service was quick. In terms of price, it was pricier than other poke places around the area but it's a good option. read more
