Candy Masago and Spicy Ahi
Cainan S.

Food: We ordered a 2 choice poke bowl with spicy ahi and candy masago. It's served on a bed of sushi rice with watercress salad and imitation crab. The candy masago lived up to the name with a sweet soy flavor and the spicy ahi had a nice kick to it. I really liked how the sauces were on the lighter side so you can really taste the quality of the fish. The only thing that would've made it better would be more side options and a stronger flavor for the sushi rice. Other than that it was great. Service: The guy was very nice and let us sample multiple choices before we ordered. Price: I've noticed that the price of poke has gone up everywhere lately so expect it to be pricey, but the quality of the fish is very good and fresh. The 2 choice poke bowl came with a decent amount of food so I'd say it's worth it. Ambiance: it was confusing at first since its located inside of a crab restaurant, but it's a grab and go counter type place.

2 choice combo (spicy inamona & Hawaiian style) no crab salad, 2x watercress salad

Located inside of The Crawfish & Crabshack is this up and coming poke spot. When you enter the restaurant, they are located on the back left side. I saw them all over social media and had to try it out and was not disappointed whatsoever. They have different types of poke every day which you can see on their IG page. You can either get one or two choices. If you don't want a poke bowl and rather order by the pound, you can do that as well. The poke bowls come with rice, one or two choices of poke and a crab salad, and a watercress salad. I opted for a two choice (hawaiian style and spicy ahi) and all watercress salad. The fish was very fresh and the flavors are really yummy. The watercress salad is a winner, especially if you like watercress. It is tossed with tomato and cuttlefish in a shoyu sesame sauce. So so delicious! It is take out only and when ordering, you are surrounded by the noise level of the actual restaurant which is not too loud at all. The two guys who helped me, whom I'm assuming are the owners were super friendly each time I went. I would most definitely recommend this place for their poke and poke bowls!

Two choice poke bowl and sashimi

Got a two choice poke bowl, garlic bomb and old school sesame. Nice to have a change of pace from all the same poke places with the same flavors. Really nice staff, they offered free samples and their house shoyu, which was killer. Fish was extremely fresh, tasted amazing. You can tell that the owner cares about his business, and if you have the chance to check them out, you should. Inside of da crawfish and crab shack.

Found this place off of instagram and decided to check it out since I live in the area. It's located inside of crab shack. It was about $40 for two poke bowls. The fish was really fresh which is awesome but other than that it didn't really have much flavor. I got the Hawaiian style and spicy. The spicy had no spice and the Hawaiian style was just okay. My husband got the shoyu and one other choice. Can't remember the name but it was sweet. The sides (watercress & crab salad) were included which was nice.

If you love supporting local then add this business to the top of your list. A true ocean to table operation, Da Poke Boyz don't mess around when it comes to freshness, quality, and taste of the poke they serve. The guys making your poke are the SAME exact guys catching your fish, cutting and cleaning it up, and running the entire operation--24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Hard working, humble, dedicated to their craft, and passionate about serving up 'ono poke for the people, what more could you ask for? Don't judge this business by their size--they're a small operation but definitely a mighty one. Serving up bold flavors, Da Poke Boyz truly know how to make a good poke with flavors any local person can appreciate. You can expect classic pokes like spicy ahi, and shoyu, BUT DON'T SLEEP on their specialty and not your typical supermarket poke flavors. I'm talking taegu poke, crab, and watercress salad! I stopped by on Super Bowl Sunday and the guys were WERKINGGGGG; sooooo busy, but still so friendly, helpful, and sooooo patient. I ended up walking away with a couple pounds of poke because I just simply could not decide what I wanted.... So I got almost everything :P The prices are fair, flavors are 'ono, and the service was friendly. Located inside Da Crabshack--Kapolei, if you're on the West side, I cannot recommend this place enough!

Finally a GOOD poke place on the West side!!! Located inside Da Crawfish & Crab Shack. Service: the guy at the counter was extremely helpful and nice when we were trying to figure out what poke to try. They have a pretty good selection of poke and you can tell that its FRESH. the flavors were really great too!! If you're ever craving some poke while on the West Side, would 100% recommend!!

Dapokeboyz is located inside of The Crabshack in Kapolei Shopping Center. They serve the freshest poke in the area, sourced from Laakea Fish Company. They have a variety of poke that is made with sushi grade fish. They also have combo plates where you can choose two types of poke, and it comes with crab salad and watercress salad. I HIGHLY recommend DaPokeBoyz.

Candy Masago
Nicholas A.

Fresh and filling! You do pay for what you get... it is on the pricier end... but for the quality, it's worth it for most... i got two kine... Cold ginger was apparently a must... and that's for certain. Candy Masago was a little sweet. I really enjoyed the sides, crab salad and surprisingly, WATERCRESS SALAD! I was shocked to see that i enjoyed it as much as I did. I'm pretty sure there was fresh cuttlefish too. I will also say that I enjoyed the smoked tako poke more than i expected. I am not much of tako or smoked items, but that changed my mind for sure! They did it right, a bit chewy... but very flavorful! I loved that the pokes weren't drenched in the sauces and so you can really taste the freshness of the poke! Small space since it's inside of Da Crawfish and Crab shack, but service is friendly and quick! If you looking for fresh, flavorful, and closeby poke spot in Kapolei, come on out!!!

I started with the Beef Luau, and omg. A steaming bowl of tender luau leaves with little "trinket-sized" bites of beef, rich and flavorful.

ORDER BOTH. No regrets. Every bite was worth it. A huge shoutout to Chuck--one of the most knowledgeable, funny, and genuinely kind people I've met in this business. You can tell he loves what he does, and it shows in the service and the vibe he creates. And Al, who I believe is the manager--what a fun guy. For someone who hasn't been here long, he runs a tight ship. The staff is happy, helpful, and works together like a well-oiled machine. The energy in this place is just good. They've even got live music at 5pm and a solid pupu menu. This is way more than a one‑stop shop. I'll definitely be back to try more--especially the dessert menu. Ooh man. Thank you, Chuck, for an awesome lunch experience. And Al--keep up the great work. Marie

We were warmly greeted by the hostess who wished us a happy anniversary and were given the option to sit indoors or outdoors. We chose indoor and were seated promptly. The restaurant itself was pretty empty and we got a table by the window where we had a nice view of the golf course. Our server Bianca was super nice and gave us recommendations on the menu. We had the Crab Cakes, Crispy Brussel Sprouts, Chinatown Chicken Spring Rolls and the Honey Mustard Charred Beef Short Rib. Portion sizes were good and we were thoroughly surprised by how good the Spring Rolls and Beef Short Ribs were. The spring rolls were hot and crispy on the outside, but was a little different because it had a black bean sauce underneath which was a nice surprise. The beef short ribs were so tender and filling when paired with the mashed potatoes and roasted vegetables. At the end of our meal we were presented with a complimentary chocolate soufflé which was a surprise. The soufflé had a nice firm exterior with a nice soft soufflé on the inside and molten chocolate. What a perfect way to end the meal. Amazing service and I look forward to coming back again!

We always get their assorted appetizer (that is enough for 3-4 people) and their brussel sprouts! I can not go to Roy's without ordering their brussel sprouts. The past times I went there, I would order their chocolate molten cake which you would have to put in a order ahead of time and that is really good. I love coming to this location because of service and their menu.

The booking was very straightforward, they don't charge a space rental fee as long as your party spends at least $1000 on food and drinks altogether. It doesn't have to be on one check, as long as it all adds up. We were able to decorate the area a bit for the party. Of course if you plan on partying here be wary of making too much of a mess or damaging things. Kiki then helped me preorder all the food for the party, and she also assisted with the surprise. Ashley was our server for the night and she did amazing! I was bothering her and Kiki and asking them questions all night and they were so nice and patient the entire time. Everyone was so kind and accommodating, it was as if they were family friends :) the speed of service was great too. I know we put the bartenders to WERK but the drinks still came out in such a timely manner. Finally, the food and drinks were BOMB. I've only been here a couple times before this, so I got to try a lot of items i haven't before at the party. Everyone was raving about the food! So many people who haven't been to DB grill before said they found their new spot. And if you like to drink, they have something for everyone. My grandma kept asking for more soju cocktails . The only thing I would warn about is that the AC is poppin upstairs, so bring a jacket. I would give 10 stars if I could. We love the DB grill crew!!!

The portions were good, the prices were decent, and it's the type of menu that works well for sharing with a group. Service was okay. The staff wasn't overly friendly, but they were efficient. Parking was good, and the overall vibe was chill, though it did get a bit noisy. The biggest issue was the condition of the restaurant. The place felt pretty run down. The floors were very dirty, the seats were torn and patched with electrical tape, and the windows were so dirty that we actually thought the restaurant had shut down one day when we were walking by. The bathrooms were also pretty gross, even for a casual bar/restaurant. I wanted to like it more because the food itself was good, but the cleanliness and upkeep really took away from the experience. They definitely need to do a better job maintaining the place. I'd probably only return if I heard they had cleaned up and refreshed the entire restaurant.

For months, people have been telling me about their dried aku, and I kept saying "soon, soon." Well, soon finally happened, and I have nobody to blame but myself for waiting this long. Now, before I go any further -- yes, I forgot to take photos. I know. I know. But here's the thing: the moment that dried aku hit the table, all my food blogger instincts went completely out the window. It was just me and that fish, and nothing else mattered. The dried aku was everything the hype promised -- deeply savory, with that concentrated, almost smoky flavor you only get when something is made with real patience and skill. The kind of dish that makes you close your eyes after the first bite. Absolutely ono. No notes. Next time -- and there will be a next time, probably very soon -- I'm going in for the laulau.
