Thankful for Yelp to finding new poke shops whenever I visit home. This was a great stop after the airport before heading home. Parking is a little challenging and space is a little small. But the service was great, sis let us try fresh samples! We ordered poke bowls and it was a generous amount and delicious. They use freshly caught fish from next door La'akea Fish & Co. So good will definitely come back! read more

They are now in a new spot, check their instagram for updates and address. Location is right next to hawaii cheapest vape shop off Nimitz! Glad we stopped in today. After us they was sold out because I bought what was left as they get slammed during lunch. Place is clean and cool looking with all the art on the walls. Wife and I will definitely be back! Thanks guys for the Ono grinds and keep up the great work! read more

I didn't go into anyplace, there was a food truck at a school fun fair and the poke was calling to me. Two people working, 1 friendly, helpful, taking orders, the other working hard to get bowls made. My bowl had spicy and shoyu poke and was enjoyed in the back of a school cafeteria, full of school fair vibes. read more

Been waiting to try their food and finally able to. It was well worth the wait!!! For starters, we must support local small businesses! The spicy bomb was LARGER than anticipated. I was thinking this was an appetizer, but to my surprise, it's HUGE and serves as a meal! Even for huge local appetites. Fresh fish is a must and oh so ono! The smoked meat was tender and delicious. The shrimp katsu was yummy and crispy. I ordered my hot plates with all the fixings of crab, teagu, and side of Hawaiian style AND spicy ahi. The serving size is pretty darn good; eating leftovers for dinner. Service was good. Price point is excellent considering portion size and inflation. People standing in line were nice and shared what they ate from this food truck before. Menu and location changes so follow them on Instagram. Overall, excellent food and service. Give them a try! You'll go back for more yummy goodness just like I plan to. read more

This review is based from their food truck! :) When I found out they were going to be at Mililani Tech Park, I knew this was my opportunity to go since I kept missing them at the Waikele food truck events. They posted their specials on their instagram that morning so I had already decided on what to try. When I arrived, the menu they posted on their truck was a little bit different, but still ordered what I had already decided beforehand. The guy who helped me was super patient and nice. I told him this was my first time ordering from them! I decided to try their bbq pork plate. All plates come with your choice of poke (I chose the spicy cali), taegu, crab salad, pickled garlic, crispy onions, masago, and sauce. The plate costed $16 and I think that was a deal for the amount and variety it came with! The bbq pork was tender and so yummy. I really loved the spicy cali. The ahi was soft and fresh and very flavorful. My mom really loved the crab salad! The whole plate was so satisfying and it filled my mom and I! I hope to see them again soon so I can try their poke nachos and bombs!!! read more

Tried this place for the first time...we enjoyed it! You can order Regular or Large Poke Bowls or Salad over sushi rice, salad or nacho chips. My husband ordered the Regular Spicy Ahi Poke Bowl over sushi rice and I ordered the regular Soy Ginger Ahi Poke with Nacho Chips on the side so it doesn't get soggy if I have leftovers. Well, it was good so no leftovers! In the bowls, they added pickled garlic which I never tried before...I loved it! Wanted more! Bakubombs is on the menu which is cone sushi known as Inari where you choose Spicy Ahi, Crab Salad or Combo. They add Taegu, Masago, Green Onion and Unagi Sauce on the top. I saw them making it as I waited for my food and it looked really good! I think I'm going to try it on my next visit. The only bad part about this place is limited street parking. read more

Last month i ordered my husband a sushi birthday cake. I was able to order it on Instagram (the turn around time for them to answer on IG was a few hours!) I was able to customize this sushi cake to what I wanted on it. The day I picked it up, it was ready & they also included free birthday candles. This sushi cake was so pretty, it was hard for us to cut into it. Oh & it also lasted us two days (which we had to share it because it was a lot!) The fish was super fresh. Thank you Bakudan Poke!! We will definitely be back for more. read more

If you're looking to impress, this is the place to go! My wife had been raving about her coworker getting this sushi cake from another spot. I personally wasn't impressed by the coworker's cake, since I had been seeing all the Bakudan Poke posts on IG. Since doing things last minute kinda ends up being my thing around the holidays, I was in a serious time crunch while deciding what I'd add to our plans. On the day of my wife's bday (yes, worst procrastination of all time lol), I sent Bakudan a DM on Instagram, requesting info on their ordering process. Within about an hour, I received a response and proceeded to place my cake order... YAY! I was so excited about their specialty cakes with sashimi roses stacked upon a bed of sushi rice, crab/mayo mix, wasabi/mayo, unagi sauce and decorated with taegu, and sashimi roses made of avocado, hamachi, salmon and ahi. SO FRESH! I loved the added finish of decorative, (I'm assuming) EDIBLE flowers, too. We ain't girly girls by no means, but this cake was beautifully designed to make you melt. Upon finding the shop in mapunapuna, I was honestly a bit puzzled when it came to parking. Luckily, I knew Bakudan and Farm Feed Supply are partnered companies who deliver greatness from the same location, lol so I slid right into the one and only spot that was open! Labeled FARM FEED SUPPLIES or something like that. I was immediately greeted by the owner who had also prepared my cake. He was super friendly and was laughing when I revealed, "this entire cake is just for 2!" Thankfully, I was able to keep my huge cake of a secret safe until it was time to light the candles. Sooo beautiful!!! Thanks guys for making my wife's birthday one to remember! (And a special thanks for taking my last minute order!! Haha) read more

My coworkers been wanting to come here for a long time after he stumbled on it via Instagram. We finally had a chance to try it and walked in to a limited menu. There was the bakudan bombs and the house salad. The bombs are inari sushi with crab salad and tegu on it. This was way better than the salad in my opinion. The salad came with a small sampler of different poke. Spicy ahi, limu ahi, sliced tako, and crab salad. Overall it's a good option if you're looking for a different option for lunch but call first. Looking forward to trying the special poke cakes. read more

WOW!! I will start by saying just looking at the pricing it's not the cheapest lunch you'll get, mine was $18 BUT after getting your plate you realize it's a good deal. It is PACKED with goodness and just some of the most delicious grub! Each piece of the garlic chicken was so far and juicy and packed with flavor. The poke, fresh and melted in my mouth. I loved the upgrade from your typical Mac salad, which don't get me wrong I absolutely almost always enjoy, to the imitation crab salad. I also really enjoyed how the poke and crab salad was laid over a bed of greens. Yet another great touch! Hot food comes over typical sticky rice. This one dish fed me twice for lunch and my mouth and stomach were beyond happy both times! Told all my co-workers about this place and will definitely be back! There's two little tables outside where you can eat it. 411 parking is a b!tch because it's located in an industrial area so there is like no parking around because their hours are the same as everyone's that works in the area! So just be patient. We had to park like a 4 minute walk but so worth it! read more

A little bit confusing to find the store but sooo worth it!! First time trying the Korean chicken plate and I already want to come back to try more things!! Probably a poke bowl because the scoop of poke crunchy Taegu poke was maybe the best poke I've ever eaten in my life. Like wow. The flavor was insanely good and it was super soft. Also that was definitely the best crab salad ever. And the perfect amount of spinach. Literally everything on my plate was perfect. I didn't know the Korean chicken would have bones, but it was still one of the best wings/legs I've ever had. It was just the PERFECT amount of crunch and garlic. I would recommend checking their IG before coming just in case they close early like they did today. Wonderful service. I literally can't wait to come back. read more

Wherever Bakudan Poke goes they cause a commotion.. and i used to think "well what's so great about them - they cant be that good." Well I and o glad that i was proven wrong. And yes - they are that good!! The combination of flavors is pure art. And the bowls dont look that good but this is one of the times is all about the flavor. The poke, the crab salad, the Taegu, the pickled garlic.... ahhh my mouth is watering just typing this post. Their signature bakubombs are also a must try. If you aren't sure which ones you like get the combo which comes with two crab and 2 spicy ahi bombs. I prefer the the crab bakuboms the most. I am soooo glad they have a store front now and i liked when they had the later hours so i could go after work. Their hours have been a bit inconsistent lately so i have not had one of their poke bowls in a while and i am having some major withdrawals. Hahaha. CHeck out their store front - they also do some collars with local dessert people and so you can pick up dinner and dessert all in the same place. They also have things like salads and nachos now but i have not tried those. read more

Bakudan Poke in Mapunapuna is located in an industrial area. We entered through the back door by mistake walking through what looked like a pet food store to get to Bakudan, only to find out that the front door was roadside. Various poke bowls and fresh sashimi, garlic chicken, salads and many more. Although very delicious slightly pricey! read more

Went to the carnival at stadium and Bakudan was there. We decided to try since we've heard a lot of good things. They did have sample plates out and it looked Ono. Got the nachos and garlic chicken plate. Both were pretty good and quantity was there that my wife and I shared the nachos and my daughter & son shared the chicken plate. The keikis didn't finish it all so I also had some of theirs. read more

One of the best take-out style poke bowls I've had. We got half-half spicy and shoyu poke. Didn't realize how big the bowl was gonna be, and was pleasantly surprised by the variety. Poke was fresh and deliciously seasoned, and it also unexpectedly included shrimp poke, Taegu, imitation crab, other toppings that gave the whole thing wonderful flavors and textures. It wasn't overloaded with rice either. Good bang for your buck. Will come back. read more

Hands down the best poke bowl I've ever had! Poke is always fresh and flavors are on point. All poke bowls come with sushi rice, crab salad,Taegu, pickled garlic, Japanese cucumbers, masago, green onions, crispy onions, and house made unagi sauce. Home of the bakubombs (Inari sushi topped with spicy ahi/torched crab salad)that is also really ono. Super friendly/nice owners! always offering different deals/specials every week. They also make beautiful sushi cakes which I hope to try one day lol Follow there ig as hours vary per day They have a storefront in mapunapuna but do pop ups occasionally too. so be on the look out.

I've heard about this place awhile ago but it totally slipped my mind but just recently a Friend went which reminded about it once again. Located in Mapunapuna but can't really go into detail the exact location because it's confusing. We even had a hard time looking for it with a GPS. LOL! I had to look back at a Friend's photo to figure it out. So WHEN you find this place, it'll look like a sketchy area, you could park in the couple parking stalls available for the feed store. You could also enter through the feed store to get to the hole in the wall. Otherwise, they do have their own entrance on the opposite side of the building too. I was greeted by a really nice lady when I entered, a few minutes later the owner walks in. Since a lot of people talked about their bakubombs, I decided to try it, along with their special of the day, smoked salmon. She let us try the poke nachos which my husband loved, so we added that to our order. We waited a little while because the smoke salmon, it was made fresh. The bakubombs describes itself, BOMB! So many flavors going on. It's an inari topped with spicy ahi or crab salad (I chose spicy ahi), along with taegu, tobiko, and sauce. I may have missed a few toppings. LoL! I don't like Inari but wow! Was this really good! As for the smoked salmon, you would think it's deep fried because it's crunchy. The owner added a sauce on the side but really the sauce is not needed because it's that good! The nachos was just as good as everything else we ordered. Only thing was my husband couldn't hand the drizzled wasabi on it but it's okay because the following week we asked for no wasabi and my husband was almost able to eat the entire thing (huge portion)! Speaking of our second time there the following week, I had the chirashi bowl. Fish was really fresh. Also added into the bowl was poke and crab salad. The owner and the lady was really really nice people!!! read more

Bakudan "BOMB" Poke is just that...DA BOMB! And so are the owners! I have heard that their food truck works out of various locations, but for now you can find them in the Halawa Industrial area right outside the gate to the Animal Quarantine on Mondays. Please keep in mind that you are dealing with POKE & that the price of fresh fish is very high right now. Although some may say that the price is a bit high, to me the taste & quality are well worth it! Their Poke Bombs are 4 good size Inari sushi topped with either an Imitation Crab Poke or Spicy Ahi Poke, or get a combo of 2 each. Both are really tasty! They offer Poke Bowl, Poke Salad & Poke Nachos. Their specials will change, as one week they had smoked meat, but today was Laulau. Too bad for me, I missed the Laulau by 1 customer! What seems to be a standard is a steak plate. I ordered the steak plate with Spicy Ahi Poke. Steak was seasoned well & their Spicy Ahi Poke was delicious! Although, they did admit that the Poke is not very spicy, which was a great thing for me. $22 for the plate, I'm only halfway into it & I'm starting to get full. Plate didn't look that big, bit it was filling, at least for me it was! Now to the owners & I apologize if I butcher your names! Randel & Alicia are SOOO NICE, taking the time to answer all my stupid questions & chat with me for a bit. The name of you business accurately describes you & your food! Wishing you continued success! Look forward to seeing you folks on future Mondays! Sorry, no pictures of the Poke Bombs, was all gone before I thought to take pictures! LOL! read more

Spicy Ahi Hidden Kalihi Gem! This spot used to be at the Ohana Market Place and in Mapunapuna. Both sites have since closed down & they've opened up a mobile food truck parked in a small lot next to the Liliha Public Library. They move around between Liliha, Geiger Park in Ewa Beach and Waipahu so best to check their Instagram for updates. Poke bombs! You must try it- inari sushi topped off with imitation crab and/or spicy ahi. Its savory. Its spicy. Its gorgeously filling. Prices vary depending what you order. On the other hand, its been difficult looking for a poke nacho spot in town, but this spot is not too bad. $10 for crispy nacho chips topped off with a scoop of spicy ahi, shrimp, imitation crab & taegu. Overall it tasted ok, but could've definitely used more imitation crab & ahi. It could be improved by spreading the crab on top of the chips then add the ahi & toppings ontop so you get a bite of everything on each chip! They do catering too! Definitely coming back though to grab more poke bombs & try their hot plates! read more
