TL;DR Fantastic value for delicious poke and plate lunches. HUGE portions with lots of variety. Ahi Fever = ONO ----- HanaPa'a 2 is an incredible hidden (?) gem located next door to Rainbow's. Fortunately, I stumbled upon this spot while browsing for lunch options on Yelp. Otherwise I might not have ever discovered this wonderful poke and plate lunch spot. I ordered the Ahi Fever, which was absolutely packed to the brim with food. They practically stuffed a lunch buffet in the box. When I picked up the plate to take home, I knew I was in for a gigantic meal. It was HEFTY. The Ahi Fever plate comes with spicy mayo poke, furikake seared ahi with wasabi aioli, and a kimchi ahi patty. All the main dishes were delicious, but I was equally impressed with the other offerings that were included. In addition to the mains, the plate contained the following: - heaping serving of rice covered in furikake - sizable portion of romaine and tomato salad with dressing - kim chee - beni shoga - daikon - seaweed salad - other assorted pickled veggies The volume and variety of dishes packed into this one plate lunch was impressive. I will definitely be back. Next time I want to try the Shacho plate. read more

HanaPa'a 2 - Life is Good because of HANAPA'A 2 - Poke Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

When you're craving poke but also want a little something extra, Hana Paʻa 2 is the perfect spot. We were warmly greeted by the super aloha owner or worker, who kindly walked us through the entire menu since it was our first visit. Unfortunately, they no longer serve salmon poke as part of the high cost during our January 2026 visit, so I went with an ahi poke bowl with added tako octopus. My husband chose the Shacho mix plate, which he chose with ahi poke, karaage chicken, rice, and mac salad. He loved it and said it was the best of both worlds. My poke bowl was incredibly fresh and delicious, and we enjoyed dining in which they have about 4-5 tables available. The space is shared with Shimazu Shave Ice, though they were closed when we visited. I only wish we had more time in Oahu to come back again! read more

I came around 2pm on a Tuesday and there were open seats. The seating is limited because they share the space with a shave ice place. Food came out relatively fast for the amount of orders they were getting. Both of the bowls had very fresh ahi and i really like the addition of the pickled vegetables. Portions were also good for the price! read more

HanaPa'a 2 - hawaiian ahi and spicy mayo ahi poke bowl (bottom) + cali crunch bowl (top) - Poke Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

I had a ton of poke during my trip to Hawaii and I think this was one of my top spots I tried. I ended up ordering a poke bowl with the ahi in Hawaiian and shoyu. Fish was fresh, sauce was perfect, and I loved that you could choose sushi rice as a base. I wish I didn't eat as much beforehand so I could have tried some of their other options on the menu. Very close to Waikiki so I highly recommend making the short trip here. They also have a free private parking lot which is a plus in such a busy area. read more

HanaPa'a 2 - Ahi poke bowl - Poke Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Solid local grindz spot! Friendly, helpful staff with quick service. The karaage chicken hit the spot--crispy, flavorful chicken over rice with a generous portion and classic sides like mac salad and fresh veggies. Everything tasted fresh and satisfying. We also tried a poke bowl that was packed with flavor. Quick, casual, and perfect when you're craving a good local-style meal. Shared space with shimazu shave ice, so if you have room to eat more, grab a shave ice when you're pau! read more

HanaPa'a 2 - Karaage chicken and poke bowl - Poke Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

The people at HanaPa'a are super aloha friendly serving poke and other Hawaiian plates. The cafe is cute with five tables for dine-in. Most people take food to go. You order at the counter. I didn't want poke so John, the clerk, steered me to the Garlic Karaage Chicken. And, wow, it was delicious. The plate was beautiful. The chicken has a dark crispy coating that is slightly sweet with a bit of spice and a sprinkling of Furikake. The meat is tender and juicy. The salad was dressed with a Thai ginger dressing that was refreshing. I selected the brown rice. The Mac salad was really good (not sweet like other Mac salads). The plate had a lot of food and is easily shareable. (I took half home for dinner.) The place has a steady stream of locals buying poke or the garlic chicken. I thought the prices were reasonable. Parking is available in their small private lot. I'd return and definitely recommend. I will be craving the Garlic Chicken. read more

First time dining - had heard about this place, especially for the poke nachos, and the hype is real. Super friendly service, delicious fresh food. I came during the lunch rush for take out and didn't have to wait long, maybe 15 minutes tops. Parking is tricky but seems like lots of options next to Rainbow Inn. Love how they check the quality of the food before it's given out. Tons of seating for patrons too, comfortable and air conditioned space. Smoked fish dip was ono. Still dreaming about the poke nachos, so much flavor. Lots of aloha here :) can't wait to come back again. read more

HanaPa'a 2 was my favorite poke place that I tried over a span of two weeks in Big Island and O'ahu. During my one week in O'ahu, I came here three times. I highly recommend paying them a visit. Recommended: -Ahi Fever - this comes with 3 types of tuna: spicy mayo, furikake seared, and kimchi ahi patty. Servce with rice, greens, and mac salad. Great! I really liked having a sampling of the tuna prepared three different ways, especially the spicy mayo ahi. -Poke: I tried the spicy mayo salmon, spicy chili crunch salmon, garlic shoyu salmon, sweet ginger shoyu ahi, sweet ginger shoyu salmon, and Hawaiian salmon. I really liked all of them (except the Hawaiian was a bit salty for my preference). I also really liked the options to pick 1/2 1/2 for poke bowls and the options for rice/greens. They also have non-poke dishes (both mains and sides/desserts). I liked their haupia and kalua pig bowl; the latter was less salty and oily compared to other other kalua pork that I tried. Service is extremely kind and friendly. There are a few tables and chairs; it's a bit crowded as it's in the same location as Shimazu Shave Ice. read more

Tonight for dinner I was craving for some kind of fish plate . I remember my sister mentioning that HanaPaa 2 had pretty good poke and plate lunches . So cool I made my way down to Castle St. actually right behind Rainbow Drive inn. HanaPaa is located in the small parking lot entrance on Castle St. Very friendly local guys greeting you once you enter their doors. Counter person explained to me in detail how to order your poke bowl . Starch , sides along with your fish and how you want it prepared. I ordered my wife a Salmon poke bowl which she loves Salmon over sushi rice . I was sold on their Garlic crusted Parmesan Ahi . My plate lunch came with a toss salad along with a Mac salad over sushi rice and 2 nice pieces of garlic crusted Parmesan Ahi. Prices were ok although the sushi rice you can hardly taste the rice vinegar. Next time I'll try their spicy Ahi or Shoyu Ahi . Support local read more

We got a couple of poki bowls and a cali crunch bowl. The fish and sauces were great. I'm used to poki bowls coming with veggie options and they don't really have that, although I asked for avocado which they added. I've updated this review after trying more poke places in Hawaii. I think this is standard. I'm used to mainland poke bowls. The fish and sauce were great. read more

If a plate lunch could bring me back to my childhood memories of good Ol Hawaii living, then this would be it. Memories of my dad cooking butter garlic ahi in the kitchen. Garlic chicken bento from the local mom & pop shop and poke from your favorite poke stand. Everything all in one plate. So good. Could be shareable if you're not a big eater. Definitely worth it though and service 5 star. read more

HanaPa'a 2 - Poke Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

HanaPa'a was the first stop on my itinerary after landing, and it was the best decision! Absolutely delicious food to begin our trip in Honolulu. Shoutout to Amanda & Felix' (on Youtube) recommendation~ My bf and I shared an ahi fever and it was nothing short of amazing... and I miss this a lot lol. The poke and seared ahi were really fresh, and the kimchi patty was so flavorful and moist. Appreciated everything else that was included in this plate like the salad bed under the seared ahi, mac salad, pickled veg and pickled ginger. Incredible textures and flavors throughout the plate, and the portion was great! The person helping us order was sooo kind - he was so helpful and patient when we were ordering, and when the orders came out, he pointed out each element of our plates/bowls and labeled the container lids with the fish + name of the order. :) Definitely coming back here when I have the chance! read more

HanaPa'a 2 - ahi fever - Poke Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

HanaPa'a2 is located on castle street in the same building that Shimazu Shave Ice occupies. There is about 6 parking stalls in a very tight parking lot, but don't let that deter you from coming in here. I've been beating up Shimazu all week and decided today after eating a shave ice as big as my head to try a meal at HanaPa'a2. I ordered a HanaPa'a special which is pork wrapped insides Taro leaves on top of rice and a container of Poi. The food was delivered piping hot and fresh as could be. The taro leaves were not bitter and quite tasty and the pork was tender and full of slow cooked flavor. The rice was soft and tender and cooked to perfection. Every time I've come here there has been several folks eating lunch here and now I see why. The food was delicious, the owner was friendly and if you love pork like I do, then this is a dish for you. read more

HanaPa'a 2 - Hanapa'a special - Poke Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Lunch in Kapahulu, Honolulu, Hawaii... Located next to Rainbow Drive-In, at Hawaii's Favorite Kitchen, HanaPa'a 2 shares its dining area and parking lot with Shimazu Shave Ice. There was a line for shave ice, but none for HanaPa'a 2, so we ordered right away and had to wait a bit for a table to open up. We're lucky to have gotten the last parking space in the small lot. It's a cozy, busy place on a Sunday afternoon! I ordered the misoyaki salmon and brown rice. It came with a green salad, macaroni salad, pickled ginger, and kabayaki sauce. The cashier was very good because he asked if we wanted Furikake on our rice. He also explained the plates well! I liked the salmon and lot! There were 2 pieces and I couldn't finish! The sauce was a bit salty for me. The portion was generous! Thanks for a great meal! read more

The kanack attack... As we head to Hawaii's Favorite Kitchens on Kapahulu when you know you know and we were so lucky that there was a single parking stall it was meant to be cause parking here is the biggest challenge and Nadine C had the great idea to head down to HanaPa'a 2 for lunch I was excited but hoping that there was a stall. Walking in the incredible line wasn't something I expected and later realized it was for Shimazu Shave Ice and not HanaPa'a 2 so we head to the counter to glance at the menu and place my order though it was between the Da Garlic Bowl or Garlic Karaage Chicken and the guy says the chicken is really good so....Sold! All plates comes with rice (rice or brown) along with furikake topping, green salad and macaroni salad I got mine with brown rice and furikake and let me tell you it's a huge plate and about 10 pieces of chicken chunks cooked perfectly so juicy and I just loved the crunch on the chicken...but the sauce was too salty for my personal preference sadly and couldn't finish it the menu clearly says shoyu garlic sauce and it was too much and had to let it go. The salad and Mac salad was just excellent, rice cooked perfectly and the staff was very nice even asked if I wanted furikake on it and describe my plate once it was ready. We were lucky as we were waiting for our food that a table opened up so that we were able to enjoy our lunch right here at our leisure as it's nicely air-conditioned and so nice and clean as well it was a very nice and relaxing vibe and really loved the simple yet cool decor of the wallpaper. Thank you! read more

WHOA! The Ahi Fever absolutely blew my mind! So unique and tasty...comes with Spicy Poke, Kimchee Ahi Patty and Seared Tuna served cold with Wasabi Aioli. Definitely a memorable 10/10 dish for me and one that stands out amongst the dozens of poke I've had on the island. If you love poke like I do but want something just at *little* bit different...this is your place. Thanks Yelpers for helping me find this place...I hope this review convinces someone else to do the same. Parking in a tiny lot or street parking; also right next door to Rainbow Drive Inn. read more

HanaPa'a 2 - Ahi Fever... The picture doesn't do it justice... It tastes 10 times better than it looks - Poke Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

First time here and we got to try a few of their items like a quarter pound of ahi and tako, shacho bento, and a Keiki chicken bowl. I really like how you can custom order everything there. The nice uncle at the counter was super friendly and explained everything on the menu. We will definitely be back to try more items on the menu. There are 4-5 tables inside to enjoy your food or you can get it to go. We were super hungry so I forgot to take pictures of my son's chicken bowl and the tako and poke to go. Oops, my bad. read more

The poke here was the best I've tried on the island! Went here with my girlfriend today for the first time and ordered the garlic shoyu ahi, it was so good we had to come back a second time! The fish has a great flavor profile and melts in your mouth like no other spot! Definitely recommend if you are in the Waikiki area. read more

HanaPa'a 2 - Garlic Shoyu Ahi - Poke Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

New location of one of my favorite fish spots! It's located in the building behind Rainbows, sharing the interior space with Shimazu Shave Ice (another favorite of mine). This location has a similar menu to the Hawaii Kai location, with the same good food and service. My favorite item to order is the Ahi Fever (ahi three different ways). On my recent visit, I ordered the Shacho which comes with Misoyaki salmon, salmon poke, and shrimp katsu. We were offered to swap the salmon poke for pork belly, which we did, and it was delicious. We also got a side of ahi poke which was great! My one suggestion for this restaurant is to add the frozen slush drinks that are offered at the Hawaii Kai location. I love those and would really like to get one at this location! read more

in the same space as Shimazu Shave Ice (home of the "wait, that's the small?!? shave ice) there's a counter with maybe 7-8 small tables. Super nice folks, super delish and generous ahi poke bowl - with pickles and cucumber salad and tasty dressing on the salad greens and good rice (I always get half half). It's actually a choose your fish, preparation, and rice/brown rice/salad adventure. Also, if they have smoked marlin, and you like really well done smoked fish that makes you wanna have a beer or similar beverage, get. If you like non-smoked, get the dried ahi. If you find yourself a nice place to sit and watch the sky and water change color, it'll remind you of how special this place is, the sky, the water, the birds, the people, the culture, how precious and fierce and fragile it all is. Also, apparently the katsu curry is really good. Oh, and parking is a little challenging. If you're not too full, can also get shave ice! read more

HanaPa'a 2 - ahi poke bowl over rice and salad. - Poke Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Owners Mike Leslie and Keoni Luke from HI Kai opened HanaPa'a Market opened in HI Kai about 3 years ago. They opened its 2nd location, HanaPa'a 2, in Kapahulu on 5/24/25. The family-owned specialty seafood and poke restaurants serve as a niche for fresh fish diners. This review is for HanaPa'a 2. "HanaPa'a" is a slang word among fishermen when they have a fish on the line, meaning "fish on!" or "hook up." When a fisherman feels a bite, they may yell "HanaPa'a!" to signal their friends. HanaPa'a 2 serves fresh Hawaiian-style poke bowls; plate lunches (fish combos, garlic chicken, chicken katsu); pupus (smoked ahi artichoke dip, kamaboko dip, poke by the pound, fresh haupia); sides (salad, pickled veggies). They also offer lau lau and the original KC waffle dog. Co-owner Michael Leslie brings with him years of experience from Roy's HI Kai, Eating House 1849, and Moani Waikiki. He oversees menu development for both HanaPa'a locations. Co-owner Keoni Luke has food industry experience from Shack HI Kai and Moani Waikiki. He oversees the daily operations for both HanaPa'a locations. We ordered the following: * Sweet ginger shoyu ahi poke bowl with sushi rice, takuan, and namasu. The sauce was delicious and complemented the fresh ahi poke well! The amount of sauce was generous and could be cut back a little. * Misoyaki salmon and garlic Parmesan butter ahi combo plate. As I could not decide on the salmon or the ahi, Mike suggestion I get both for the same price. The salmon was drizzled with an addictive delicious sweet kabayaki sauce, and the ahi had a slight crispy, cheesy garlic crust. Both fishes were delicious, although I would choose the salmon. The plate came with pickled ginger, a lemon wedge, sushi rice, mac salad, and green salad. * Kamaboko dip. Thanks to Yelper Gabriel P. for posting a pic in his review; otherwise, I wouldn't have known that this dip was offered. The only place that I know that gives you a roll of Ritz crackers to go with the dip! Nice taste to this dip, as it had lots of minced kamaboko, sesame seeds, furikake, and a little cream cheese, mayo, and sesame oil. I usually make my own but use a lot more fillers like mayo, sour cream, and cream cheese. Servings were not only delicious, but were of generous portions. Co-owner Mike was present when we walked in to order. He was very friendly and welcomed us. After we told him that this was our first time, he happily went over his entire menu and gave suggestions as to what to order. He was very knowledgeable, helpful, and personable. While we were waiting for our takeout orders, we stared chatting and found out that he grew up on the same street in HI Kai that we live on, and he knew everyone living on the street! He mentioned that his sisters probably knew our kids who graduated from Kaiser High about the same time. Small world! HanaPa'a 2 shares the same interior space with Shimazu Shave Ice, located behind Rainbow Drive In. You can dine-in at 5 tables set up that are shared with Shimazu Shave Ice. The area is clean and bright. Co-owner Mike noted that because this location has a fryer, it is able to offer garlic chicken and karaage chicken, as the HI Kai location does not have a fryer. Hours of operation are daily 10:30a to 5:00p. Free parking is available in the small lot fronting the restaurant that is shared with Shimazu Shave Ice. Spaces ae tight, and you will have to reverse out of the lot when leaving. Street parking is also available although difficult to find. We look forward to returning to try other menu offerings! Congratulations to owners Mike and Keoni for opening their 2nd restaurant location and wish them much success! Support local! read more

Wow. Absolutely obsessed. I don't think I've been to the location in HK but I must be missing out! Even my family was impressed by the quality and quantity of food here, especially for the price! Stopped by here about an hour ago around 2 pm on a Monday for takeout, there was no line! Service was very friendly. John Wayne took our order and was super helpful in making suggestions. He also added that the menu is customizable and that if we'd like to make any substitutions, can! Located next to Rainbow's Kapahulu. Only issue is the parking. There's about 6 stalls in the front. They do share the building with Shimazu's. Some seating indoors for you to enjoy food there. We ordered: Kamaboko dip (comes with ritz crackers) Smoked ahi artichoke dip (comes with ritz crackers) Takuan (side order) Shacho bento "OG" bento Poke bowl Kamaboko dip - was 'ono! Not too creamy and not too chunky! Smoked ahi artichoke dip - so yummy! Flavor is strong and you can see the chunks of fish. Shacho bento (with sweet ginger shoyu poke) - was 'ono and flavored well. Salmon was cooked perfectly. "OG" bento - comes with Hawaiian style poke, also in huge chunks! Kalua pig was nice and soft, not too salty. Poke bowl (with sushi rice, salmon w/ garlic shoyu style + ahi w/ spicy mayo style). Comes with pickled vegetables. Will definitely be back to try other things! read more

Came to Hanapa'a totally randomly with zero expectations. One of the guys working there explained the whole menu to us, which was super helpful. We got the Ahi Fever--three styles of ahi: cooked, seared, and raw--and every single one was so good. I didn't think I'd like the kimchi ahi patty, but I ended up loving it. Also got the quarter pound shoyu salmon. Super fresh, well-seasoned, and honestly just really solid. Prices are reasonable for what you get. Five out of five. Nothing to complain about. read more

Kapahulu's Hanapaa 2 is the kind of no-frills spot that quietly gets the fundamentals right. The guy at the counter was absurdly helpful without upselling, walking me through cuts and sauces like a patient lab tech. They weigh the fish first, then add sauce and mix to order; it sounds small, but it means the marinade doesn't "cook" the cubes and the texture stays glassy and clean. My quarter-pound salmon with sweet ginger shoyu was about $8 (actually contained 1/4lb of salmon) and tasted like someone actually respects your budget and your palate at the same time The Ahi Fever plate is a thesis statement on value: $23 for ahi three ways--seared, spicy, kimchi--plus the usual rice and mac salad. The sear had an actual gradient instead of the usual gray band, the spicy ahi leaned creamy without drowning the fish, and the kimchi version brought a bright, fermented snap that cut through everything else. Portions are massive; two people could dismantle this without resentment Inside is tidy and utilitarian, more clean prep room than Instagram set, with a shave ice place sharing the building. Prices make sense, the fish tastes fresh because of process, and the service treats you like you might care about details. Contender for best poke on the island, and not just on a technicality read more

Had a poke bowl with sushi rice, spicy ahi and garlic shoyu ahi. The rice was lightly flavored, not overpowering, fish was fresh and the bowl is made when ordered. It comes with delicious crunchy daikon that must be made in house. The guy who helped us explained the menu and how to order poke bowl. We sat down and eat but couldn't finish so we took the leftovers overs home and that was dinner. The tables are clean and the room is bright. People say it's expensive but I say it worth every penny- quality and quantity.If you're in Kapahulu, check them out. read more

FINALLY, Hanapa'a Market is in town and I don't have to drive to Hawaii Kai to get their poke and stuff! Drivers on the road rejoice, it is safe now! This place makes the best garlic poke ever! I tried the chili crisp one this time, but I think my favorite is the regular garlic ahi one! Also had the California Crunch, Ahi Trio, and tried to get a pound of Miso Tako but I think we got someone's Limu Tako instead? All good, the Limu Tako was so yummy I didn't even care it wasn't Miso haha. Everything here is fresh and congratulations, you just found your next favorite poke bowl and lunch plate spot! The fish is buttery soft and the Tako was the delicious meaty pieces, not like some places that now only give you all the chewy stuff and tentacles. The pictures of the food don't do it justice, this food is a work of art! Try it out before it gets crazy busy! Then still come even if it's busy, just order on the phone so you can just park and pick it up cause it's worth it! Lots of parking, it's right next to Rainbow Drive Inn on Kapahulu. :] read more

I was visiting from California with my girlfriend and met a really cool local, Malu, who took us here for lunch. It may be one of the best meals we've ever eaten in our lives! I had the Ahi Fever and I will never forget it. The owner knows his stuff and holy cow is he amazing. When the food arrived, he told us about all the elements of the meal in detail and it was absolutely delicious. If I ever make it back to Oahu, I'm going to go straight to HanaPa'a 2. The price was extremely reasonable considering the portions and quality of the food. I left the place stuffed, satisfied and impressed. read more

Last and best meal we had on Oahu! Sad we found it at the end of our trip! Will be back!!

HanaPa'a 2 what a truly amazing experience from start to finish. We came with some friends and I didn't know what I wanted to order and the man working was super friendly and helpful giving all the options and telling me if we wanted to mix and match they would make it happen in the kitchen. I ended up doing a Kanuka which is the kalua pork, Lomi tomatoes, and two choices of poke and some poi. I went with ahi with spicy mayo and tako with the recommended garlic chili crunch. All were fantastic just look at those photos! The poke was super fresh and delicious, kalua pork melts in your mouth with a great smoky flavor. Our friends got a myriad of other things poke nahchos, and the garlic chicken. Kulolo crunch dessert was amazing and highly recommend, the cookie underneath tied together the coconut and poi so well! Very clean place. Super affordable for the amount of food definitely could make 2 meals out of everything! Please go out and support this place should've been packed. There is also a super fun shaved ice place inside as well. read more

Absolutely solid food. We got a bento and chicken katsu. The katsu was perfect - crunchy and crisp, juicy inside, perfectly seasoned. The bento has kahlua pig, some kind of fried chicken, and a little crusted ahi steak. All three were amazing. As we were finishing, they brought us each out a free haupia, which was also awesome.
