Like most poke spots, you build your own bowl--choosing your base, fish, sauces, and toppings--but what stood out was how generous they were with the portions. They really load up the fish and give you a full, satisfying bowl, which I appreciated. Overall, it was a great first meal on the island, and I'd definitely recommend stopping by if you're looking for fresh, flavorful poke.

Things to know: no place to sit (one outside table with 3 chairs is all they have); no cash, card only; the fish is flown fresh from Japan. Now I don't know if all fish is actually from Japan and how true it is, but I did see some styrofoam shipping containers with US agriculture and US customs tape so I believe it. We ordered the macadamia aburi salmon which was a top tier combination of torched salmon, macadamia and a delicious sauce, and yuzu miso poke with ahi which had tuna so fresh it was just melting in your mouth. I also thought it was priced pretty reasonably compared to other poke places I tried in Waikiki, and portions were not huge but decent with lots of fish. I wish I had discovered this place a bit earlier in my trip because I would 100% come back for more.

I'm about a week late on this review. We visited this poke takeout spot in Honolulu, with high…read morehopes from a friend's recommendation. Here's how it went. Food (3.5 stars) + The poke was undeniably fresh--tuna and salmon. My daughter likes salmon and she liked it although I know ahi is the way to go. ~ Spicy Sato had a nice kick but didn't match the photo that looked more creamy and flavorful. - However, the shoyu sauce seasoning was overpowering, masking the fish's natural flavor. - Salmon hand roll was scarfed down by my 11yo daughter in like 2 bites for $8 - Portion was on the smaller side for the price (around $17). I expected more value. Service/Ambiance (3 stars) + Food came out quickly, but don't forget to bring your own water--they only sell drinks. ~ It's a takeout place with only outdoor seating. - Seating was tight, no indoor option, and we had to rearrange seats to accommodate our group of four. Overall, Sato has fresh poke, but the seasoning needs balance. I hate to say this but Don Quixote poke from their cold aisle was better.

We ended grabbing the unagi musubi, shrimp egg musubi, and their poke. It is a super quick grab and go experience. Our total was 22.14, which I don't think is too bad. The flavors of the musubis are soooo good! Everything was made so deliciously and fresh. It could get a bit messy eating it though because of the sauce, so make sure to grab napkins!

There are 2-4 seats in this space, but you won't find anyone sitting at this cafe. Usually, it is grab and go. I was impressed with their various options. They have salmon musubi, tuna mayo musubi, and many more. My personal favorite is the chicken musubi, and I would usually buy it before I go off on a big adventure on the island or after my swim at Waikiki Beach. The staff here are kind, patient, and friendly. I wish I knew they had a stamp card because they actually do. I buy from them a lot. Along with musubi and sushi, you'll find that they sell trinkets, bags, and other souvenirs. Be sure to come by. They are handmade and fantastic!

The original garlic shoyu ahi was less unique in terms of taste but the fish seemed fresher. I think I would give this place a 3.5/5!

Service was fast and I loved how this place was conveniently located inside the Ilikai hotel, where I'm staying because it's just an elevator ride away but also great for anyone not staging at the hotel and walking by since it's right around the corner from the front entrance.

They were accepting and said they could stack the salad on top. I didn't get the unagi sauce in the moment, but I wasn't upset either because I enjoy salad without sauce too.

First of all, they have a really efficient operation, so the wait to order was minimal. Then you go to another section to wait for your order and considering the people waiting, it wasn't bad at all. The only thing is it was a little crowded to check out their merchandise and let me tell you. I eyed alot of cute things! I had the Island Latte hot and my daughter had it cold and both were SO GOOD, with Macadamia Nut and a hint of Coconut. Well worth the wait!
