Disappointing. Lots of good reviews but my bowl was lackluster. First, it’s small. I didn’t take a picture beforehand but it’s smaller than a cereal bowl. It’s a weird comparison but I had nothing else to show the small size. About the width and height of a dollar bill. Second, the fish was not fresh. Texture was hard. Third, overpriced for the amount and quality. $20 for the two choice option that won’t fill up the average male. It’s just a little bit more than a first full of food. What was good? The speed of service and flavors. If there was better fish and more of it, this place could rock. Until then, don’t recommend.

I’ll have to go back because they were out of the lomi lomi salmon… But the aloha bowl even without that was still amazing. Definitely I’ll be going back.

Stumbled upon this place when I was looking for poke nearby. Went to Foodland market like lots of people suggest but that one was not it! The man working at paradise poke was so nice, I got the Hawaiian bowl with had kalua pork 1 choice of poke and lomi salmon (which he advised me was just a tomato onion mix with little pieces of cooked salmon NOT a salmon poke) also we tried the shoyu ahi bowl and the ginger scallion ahi bowl. All the bowls were so good and fresh tasting we had poke here about 2 more times on our trip! I my husband and 2 kids loved this poke place! It’s a decent amount of food for $15. The next times I got the bigger $18 bowl that you can choose two poke or just double up on one. Also got some cookies here The Cookie Lady Hawaii cornflake cookies! They’re so crispy and delicious! I recommend coming here and if the small tables just outside the door are not sufficient there’s an area just around the other side of the building where you can sit and eat! Must try!!!!

I went first thing in the morning to grab food before a flight. Server was helpful but maybe not the best time to get poke. Flavor was a bit lacking and they didn’t have any spam masubi which I was hoping to get.

The. Best. Poke. On island. On any island. Hidden gem! The Truffle ponzu salmon bowl is ridiculous. Addicted. Don’t even mind the long line. Also love the lemon ice cream pops they have in the freezer.

I visited this fantastic poke restaurant three times when accommodating at ilikai hotel for one week. Basically, I love Korean rice, and this place is very suitable for enjoying rice and healthy poke. Also, taste is very nice and fresh! Musubi too. I do not hesitate to recommend to visit this place But don’t forget to remember this poke place is for take-out!

Nice poke shop! The poke was very good and the prices were reasonable. They had a good amount of options. Note, there are two small tables outside the shop and the store itself is small.

Spicy Ahi was immaculate, spicy, veddi goot but the portion was smaller than my palm. That’s why I have no photos because it went out with one bite. I’ll come back on my next pay day because its not a cheap bowl but definitely one of the best poke spots while staying at ilikai. Why the 3 stars? I knocked off a star for pricing and knocked off another star for portion lol other than that, definitely a good spot to try!

Best poke I’ve ever had (except once in Kona with the freshest ahi of all time). Everything is incredible. There are weird chips to try. Drinks are great. Yummy desserts. Salmon and tuna are CHEAP and the octopus is fab. Joseph really went out of his way for me, an hour before close!!

When we got there, the best menu item was already sold out, so we were a little worried, but we decided to give it a try. In the end, we ordered the Shoyu Ahi and Ginger Scallion Ahi and were not as impressed as the reviews said. When the Pocky Balls came out, the visuals were so similar that it was difficult to tell them apart, so I asked the chef about it, and he also seemed to find it difficult to tell them apart. If I have the next chance, I will definitely try the Hawaiian Pocky Balls. I look forward to the next opportunity!
