    We ordered from here twice over the past couple months and are pleased overall with the quality of the fish. The first order about six weeks ago seemed slightly better than last weeks order, especially the poke. Both times we ordered 3 packages of ahi and a poke kit. We eat the poke the first night and last time cut the prime part off for sashimi. One of the things I like is that they trim the skin off. They also wrap each piece of ahi well so it doesn't leak. TIP on freezing and prep. We cut the ahi into steaks and wrap them individually then freeze them in packages of 4 or 5 steaks to use for one meal. Our latest way of preparing the ahi is baking them in parchment paper (you can buy it at Longs or Safeway by the Saran Wrap). I prep veggies like spinach, thinly sliced peppers zucchini, shiitake, ginger,and have jars of mayo, oyster sauce, chili paste, shoyu. Each person can make their own packet of veggies, sauce and ahi. Look on YouTube or google for recipes (papillote or cooking fish in parchment.)

    True entrepreneurship is when you come up with genius ideas amidst a worldwide pandemic. Due to closures of restaurants, fishermen has a hard time selling off their inventory of fresh catches, Fresh Island Fish cane up with the idea of retail sales. At first, it was chaotic with the wait and organization of the sales. But within one weeks time, they setup online ordering and payment system and also streamlined the pickup process, while maintaining social distancing. Bravo to the Fresh Island Fish team! It's truly a win win for all. I am glad that I got to enjoy some fresh ahi to cheer me up. Eat local support local.

    Fresh Island Fish is typically a wholesaler to restaurants however with the pandemic going on and so many restaurants closed or slower than normal, they began a retail pick up. At first (maybe around April), they began selling to the public on a first come, first served basis. I heard the wait was sometimes 2 hours! They quickly adjusted and now have online preorders (and prepayment). It seems they do preorders on a Thursday at noon (and they sell out within minutes so you need to be fast!). Before checking out, you must also select a pick up window preference: 8-9a, 9-10a or 10-11a. On Friday, you receive a confirmation email with your order number, pick up window and also which line to drive in when you arrive. They color code the lines (ex: purple and red lines) and some of the text in your email is the color of the line you need to be in so there is no mistaking where to go. When you arrive on Saturday during your pick up window, you get in the line as directed on your order email. You may either have your email on your phone or printed ready or even write the order number down on paper. First you will show your order number to a person who types it into their iPad. You then follow the line forward and at the front of the line, there are huge coolers that the staff pull your order from. The fish are all bagged and tagged by order number. This company seriously has made one of the biggest pivots I've seen in the pandemic. From changing their customer base to finding a better organized system for distribution - amazing!! Oh... and the fish is amazing, so fresh! My favorite is definitely the salmon!

    Was referred by a coworker who previously bought fish from here and it was worth every penny! Bought 4 lbs of sashimi grade ahi for $26! We were able to get 3 very filling meals out of it. Fish was very fresh and packaged well. When we checked out online, we were able to select a preferred pickup time. We selected the last pickup slot and there was no line to pickup. Pickup transaction was very quick and smooth. Thank you Fresh Island Fish for selling quality fish during COVID-19! We will definitely buy again!

    Among the hardships of 2020, Fresh Island Fish was a blessing. During COVID-19, they began selling fish directly to consumers (no middle man) due to the shutdown and closure of the food industry. I've ordered from them 4 times already and have not been disappointed! Back in April, I spent almost 2 hours waiting in a car-line to purchase fish on a first come first serve basis. Ahi was going for $4/lb! Unbelievable! Now, they have only accept online orders, which sell out within minutes, and pick-up from Pier 38 is organized and seamless. Fresh Island Fish has been amazing, especially considering that they weren't a retailer pre-covid. Although the prices are no longer $4/lb, the freshness is unbeatable and buying from them is supports local fishermen. As long as they keep selling, I'll keep buying!

    Check out what they advertised as Ahi Poke Cubes. Really looked like AHI SCRAPS. Not going to order that again. It was fresh but it seemed like it was watered down during the rinsing, didn't taste right. Look at my pictures First off you sign up on their website, they email you with what they have available for pick up on Wednesday, you have a one hour window which is good, very organized pick up,fish wrapped and on a piece of refreezable ice jel pack. Complained and they said that I got the wrong order, picked up my poke cubes today. Their website is a bit confusing, if you want to add their kit to make poke it $3.00 more.

    Put a piece of salmon in the air fryer. Topped it with imitation crab, onions, pepper and mayo mix and furukake.

    So glad I discovered this business especially during this time. You need to be quick when ordering online because they sell out fast! I ordered the 4lbs of ahi and salmon. Sooo good! Can't wait to order more when we eat it all.

    I love this company! Since this COVID-19 pandemic they started to sell to the public. All you got to do is go on to their website and subscribe. Once you subscribe they're going to send you emails when the next sale is going to be. I picked our order on Wednesday and boy can I say we were more than satisfied with our order. It was only $26 for four pounds of ahi. We also got the marlin (not pictured here) and it was so tender and delicious. If I could give them a million stars I would! You need to order and enjoy!

    Located off Nimitz Hwy on a pier 38 we went to Niko's, which they do not take reservations…read more We got there on a Tuesday which was good, not much customers and lots of open seating. We got seated outside which was okay and we had a small dog with us. We went to celebrate our daughter Birthday and nobody asked even with her wearing a Lei is there a special occasion? Nothing from the check in counter to the waitress? We ordered appetizers Oyster shooters, Chicken Caesar salad, Truffle French Fries, Crab Artichoke dip, besides the main courses. The Oyster Shooter was fresh and tasty with a quail egg on top, only 1 of mind had 2 pretty good size pieces of oyster shells inside good thing I didn't choke on them. The Truffle French Fries was good except for it wasn't crispy, maybe due to the truffle oil. The Chicken Caesar salad with pesto was very good and the homemade croutons were very tasty light and crunchy, the pesto chicken was tasty and moist and the romaine lettuce was fresh. The Crab Artichoke dip with baked bread was good. I also ordered the fish and chip which was delicious and the fish was crispy on the outside and moist inside. The French fries were crispy and good. My wife ordered the braise belly pork and most of the portion was fat which she only ate 1 piece. Our daughter had the braised short ribs and she enjoyed her meal. Our son in law ordered the short ribs with Kim Chee and he enjoyed his ribs, but didn't eat the large pile of Kim Chee he said the Kim Chee was sour, but enjoyed the short ribs and beans and mash potatoes. They do have indoor and outdoor seating with live music. You can park in the unpaved parking lot right across the entrance, but if you have bad eye sight or walking because of the large holes and uneven surfaces, better to park along side of the building.

It's right on the water at Pier 38, so there's a nice harbor atmosphere and plenty of seating. There's also parking! The menu has a good variety of seafood and Hawaiian style dishes, and they also have a fish market if you want to take some of the fresh stuff home. The fish of the day options are a fun way to try something local. The restaurant has a casual, counter service kind of feel, so don't come expecting a fancy sit down experience. It's more of a grab your food and find a table situation, which I actually think works well for the location. You get quality entrees quickly! We loved the furikake crusted tuna fish, the garlic shrimp and the mochiko chicken.

I told him it was my first time there and asked him to make me the best roll he could. He prepared it right in front of me, which I appreciated because I'm very particular about food handling, cleanliness, and sanitation. I was impressed by the preparation and couldn't wait to dig in! The Hamachi Roll was excellent! Oversized, generously loaded with fresh fish, and finished with just the right amount of spicy kick. And at $15, it was so filling that I was completely satisfied! Ambiance was definitely lively cause you're literally in a market. Definitely a great first impression. I'll be back to try more of their menu!

They also sell Hawaiian food such as kalua pork and laulau. Their salmon belly plate was my favorite. Now, I have a new favorite. It's the hamachi kama plate $15.95. It comes with your choice of poke, kim chee, taegu and rice sprinkled with furikaki. I get the ahi wasabi with soy sauce. I didn't realize that they sold jelly fish until my friend bought me some. It's around $17 a pound. I get a quarter pound and it comes out to a little over $4. I love the crunchy texture and how they season it. It goes perfectly with the white rice. Looking from the outside, I know this place looks like a hole in the wall. Trust me, it's one of the best poke that you'll ever have.

But the locals know, and they've been coming here for years as it has a dedicated following. Inside, two nice Filipina ladies were working the kitchen and the register. This is strictly a takeout place as there is no seating inside at all. When you walk in, there's a big refrigerated window of fresh fish assortment, poke style. Lots to choose from so I had to sample a few. Menu is large, so I won't go through all of it. But they do serve local food here to go with the fish. Ordered a sort of plate lunch with lau lau, rice and Hamachi fish. Portions a large and priced well for what you're getting. The fish was great, but I thought the lau lau was a bit dry. Kind of disappointing. What I would suggest is just sticking to the poke if you're ordering here. At any rate, a good time was had by all.

    Lunch in Honolulu, Hawaii…read more.. I asked my sister what she wanted to eat for her birthday: Dimsum! I suggested that we go to this new location of Kapiolani Seafood Restaurant. She agreed! The covered parking lot is free! Just follow the signs and park in the designated numbered stalls. Inside, it was crowded and noisy! I wrote our name on the list and got called quickly! My sister wrote our order on the menu: shrimp dumplings, seaweed roll, deep fried taro puffs, shrimp and chive dumplings, mochi rice, pork-filled deep fried mochi, and custard tarts. Later, we added on an order of house noodles... they were thin, crisp, and tasty! Everything was delicious and beautifully presented! Service was efficient! There were different people delivering baskets and plates to our table. They just crossed off menu items on the printed list as they arrived. My sister and her husband were really happy with this meal! I was, too! Note: i even took home the leftover noodles! Yay!

Not all-you-can-eat, birthday boy just wanted to eat certain dish and we had 3 seniors who couldn't eat that much. Lots of parking available, outside restaurant mostly people using laundry nearby. We were welcomed and guided to our table. We ordered happy hour appetizers and main dishes. Salmon and ahi were ok. But the hamachi was really good. Not sure if it's the season but it was better than ahi or salmon. The fish were all fresh and big sizes. Very good value. Hotate scallops from Japan were great too, sweet and tender. I didn't care for the yuzu pepper on it, it only masked the flavor so I had to remove it. I ordered the Hoe Deop Bab. It comes with rice but I didn't need it so gave to my brother. I thought it was squid but it was the scallops in the salad so I was happy. The peanut dressing was really good and it went well with the sashimi. We had good family time. We asked for more hot tea and the serving girls came and filled it up. They left a jug of water on the side so we helped ourselves to water so it was less interruption. Servers were nice and courteous. Bathroom, need key and go outside the restaurant. Good quality sashimi/sushi here.

I would note that they do close at 8PM and stop seating AYCE sushi quite early (from what I've heard as early as 6:45). We went super early for that reason, specifically at 4, so there really weren't as much people doing the AYCE yet. We walked up to the counter and let the cashier know we wanted to dine in and do the AYCE. A different person then walked us to the other side where the dine in seats are. We're given the menu and an expo marker. Then they came back with the wasabi as well as taking our order (aka taking the menu) We got: - Aburi salmon !!, ahi, Hamachi !!, ebi, scallop - Shrimp tempura, vegetable tempura!!, calamari!! - Unagi nigiri !! - Green dragon roll - Fire cracker roll - Baked mussels !! Everything was good, the menu is not super expansive with much less choices than, for example, Kan Sushi. I would also note that they kind of pack each piece with rice. I'm unsure how strict they are regarding the left over rice policies, but if you'd definitely get full very quickly with their rice to fish ratio. I'd recommend the aburi items (maybe except the ebi as it felt especially small the amount of rice). I wouldn't recommend their shrimp tempura as it is definitely pre-packaged shrimp tempura refried. (I also put an "!!" next to the items I would REALLY recommend. Otherwise, I don't think I will come back. Not that it was a bad experience or anything but in my opinion there's just simply better AYCE sushi spots out there.
