    Absolutely the best Poke. We were recommended to come to Aloha Poke by our cruise captain, said it was the best poke on the island. We couldn't have been more satisfied. The poke was absolutely delicious. Fresh and flavorful. Also, the service was friendly and incredible. They had quite the line when we showed up and they got everyone through very quickly. Also, there was an ingredient we didn't know about in one of our poke bowls and when we brought it to their attention they remade the dish no problem. It meant a lot, and again, the food was incredible. Definitely recommend checking this spot out. It's worth a little bit of an extra drive as well Thank you Aloha Poke!

    Nothing beats fresh poke before and/or after the beach, and this one hit the spot perfectly. Fresh fish and great portions. One of the best poke bowls I've had on the island. Mahalo!

    So fresh! Made to order poke. Mixed up and packaged while we waited. Amazing flavors and quite a selection of options. The owners are the staff; and the service as impeccable. Super helpful and answered all our questions. A quaint shop tucked away; so don't miss this spot. Small interior counter space and a few tables for eating outside. I recommend grab and go to the beach spot of choice for this meal. Highly recommend, especially if you are in the westside.

    Dave's special

    Simply delicious poke. You know when you walk into a place and it is cash only and the menu is on a white board that it is most likely going to be phenomal and at this place that stereotype held true. I got the Dave's special with brown rice/wonton chips and half salmon/ahi. So tasty. Fish tasted like the ocean and the sauce, veggies, masago, etc were all super fresh. Friendly employee and very fairly priced at $15 for a regular with a good portion (I'm a big eater and almost couldn't finish). Just a little hole in the wall joint, but perfect for a post-beach meal.

    Food was amazing and service was great. Ordered the crab wonton and spicy California with smoke meat combo so Ono. Aunty at the counter suggested for us to try something different next time we come back & I think I'm going to do exactly that!

    This is the smoothest fish on island. Yes, it is a little pricier, but you pay for quality fish. We enjoy stopping in for the spicy ahi and garlic shoyu ahi bowls and then take them to enjoy at Pokai bay while watching sunset. Parking right in front, walk in and 5 min later, you have a great dinner. It is a small shop with a table outside to sit if needed.

    Ahi & salmon
    Michelle S.

    This spot was... fine. Not terrible, but nothing mind-blowing either. The Hawaiian ahi was kinda mid -- mostly just salty, nothing that really stood out. The shoyu salmon, though, was the highlight and actually tasted pretty good on its own. The staff was super nice

    Hawaiian chip company

    Love this little hidden gem. If you're ever in Waianae, you must stop at this poke shack. You can eat there or It's right near pokai bay. Poke is mixed to order. They got local style candy mui (candy mixed with preserved lemon) and plate lunch. Braddah in the front is soft spoken, patient, and sweet. He answered all of our questions and sold us on the hawaiian plate. We got the hawaiian plate, 1/4 limu ahi, 1/4 hawaiian salmon on wonton chips, 1/4 furikake salmon on mixed greens and lomi oio. My favorite was the furikake salmon salad. The limu ahi was a bit under seasoned, but still fresh. Hawaiian salmon on chips was still crunchy after our drive. The hawaiian plate was soooooo ono! The haupia is the best haupia I've ever had. It was like pudding! We also ordered lomi oio but they forgot to put it in our bag. We went back the the restaurant after we ate and when I walked in they just handed me the container. The lomi oio was soo so sweet and clean tasting. We stopped at hawaiian chip company on the way back into town and ate it with chips. YUM! There's a counter that seats 6 and a picnic table outside. I recommend picnic at the park around the block. Overall a true hidden gem in Waianae.

    I discovered this place when I moved here last year, after the beach. I honestly think they have the best poke on the island. Every time I'm on that side, I make sure to go there. The staff is very friendly, and although the space is small, it is convenient to order and fast. It is the perfect place to grab poke before heading to the beach.

    First time trying Aloha Poke on 6/19/25. Poke was good. We ordered spicy mayo and furikake flavor with nachos. The nacho chips were ok. The poke was good and fresh. The service was good with friendly staff. The staff who helped us was patient and answered our questions. The place was small but they offered outdoor seating for those who want to eat there. They are located in Waianae.

    Spicy Ahi and spicy Cali (ate a little because I could not wait)
    Candice L.

    Aloha Poke is unassuming and such a gem in Waianae. Stopped off today on the way back from Makaha. The lady at the front was so sweet and very patient. Five star service. I was overwhelmed with the amazing choices. By seeing it from outside, you would never expect that the food is so spectacular. I started off by ordering the laulau which was cooked to perfection and the pork was plentiful. I added on some poke (spicy ahi and spicy cali) which was well seasoned and came in portions of 1/4,1/2, 1lb. Last minute, I had to order the salmon belly and best decision ever! It was the perfect amount of fat, which made it rich and mouthwatering. I came with rice and definitely did not need anything else. The flavor was spectacular and I can see myself getting this anytime I come to Makaha area. Go support this small business! You will not regret it.

    What's the difference between the Hawaiian style ahi poke and Ahi Limu poke? TIA.

    I believe that Hawaiian is Hawaiian salt, limu, crushed kukui nut and crushed chili peppers. Limu poke doesn't have the kukui nut and have green onions and sesame seed oil.

    When u purchase a poke bowl do they charge extra for the rice?

    Rice is charge extra at .75 per scoop.

We dined there for lunch on a Monday, so naturally, they weren't too busy. We were seated right away and our drink orders were once we were seated. I decided on one of the specials of the month, White Wash. It was a refreshing mix of watermelon juice, cucumber, mint, and vodka. The bartender didn't skimp on the vodka! You can get a free kid's meal with every entree. The nachos count as entrees, and I was definitely feeling the nachos so we ordered the Lobster Nachos and the Mauka to Makai Nachos. With the Mauka to Makai Nachos, you get a very generous serving of poke nachos and kalua pig nachos. Neither plates disappointed. There were cheesy chunks of lobster on my nachos with diced jalapenos scattered on top. The poke was so fresh, and what made the nachos even better were the fresh house made tortilla chips. My kids had the mac and cheese, and cheeseburger meals. The mac and cheese was creamy and velvety. The cheeseburgers had that nice char-broiled taste. Kids eat well at Tavern! The customer service was excellent and with a view overlooking the ocean, I am looking forward to dining at Lanterns again.

Unfortunately, they don't have an elevator, which was a little difficult for my grandmother who was with us. However, we were still able to make it up the stairs slowly but surely. It wasn't busy at all but there was only one waiter/bartender. He was very kind and efficient, but I could tell it was a lot for one person to wait on the whole restaurant! It meant ordering was a little slow, but understandably. The food itself was delicious! The burgers were amazing, honestly would be on a list of top five burgers on the island. The mauka to makai (half kalua pig, half poke) nachos were amazing. The won ton chips were to die for. We also grabbed a mini purse drink - which is definitely enough for two to share! Such a fun concept and actually how I heard of the place. Besides the slightly slow service, no elevator (which sometimes, cannot help), and the AI generated menus, this place is amazing! Plus, a nice view while you eat.

The ambiance at Kaʻahaʻaina Café sets it apart from your average neighborhood café.

The overall experience at Kaʻahaʻaina Café was truly something I valued the most. The vibe was relaxed and inviting, allowing for a seamless transition into enjoying the meal. The service was not only friendly but also efficient, with the staff contributing to a warm atmosphere that perfectly complemented the café's local vibe.

We needed to grab some food before heading to the beach and this lovely place popped up, so we decided to give it a try. Menu has a great selection and prices are affordable! I got the Spicy BBQ Chicken (mini) and my designated driver got the Mini Combo. My Spicy BBQ Chicken was very well-sauced and not too spicy. The sauce was great, but make sure you're not wearing anything light-colored (it will stain). The sides of seaweed and kimchi were great as well. It was definitely more "local" style kimchi, but nonetheless, delicious. The Mini Combo was very well-portioned and had a great variety of protein. Every piece was delicious and not too salty. The banchan was also very complimentary and tasty. Again, prices were great and very justified. Portions are generous and taste was present. We called in our order and it was ready when we got there. Just picked up and paid - easy as pie. If I go back for a beach side gathering, I will definitely come by here again to bring to the beach. I think this is a gem on the West Side and hope to see them again very soon!
