I came here on the restaurant's 2 year anniversary and the employees could not be more energetic, friendly, and efficient! The place has a small, homey feel and if you decide to dine in, they provide complimentary chili water :) I ordered an ahi tuna poke bowl with sushi rice, shoyu, spicy mayo, cucumber, crab salad, and ginger chips. It was absolutely delicious! The tuna was not fishy at all and they were big cubes. The portion size was perfect for a hearty lunch and everything tasted incredibly fresh. I highly recommend the mix of shoyu and spicy mayo. :) read more

HanaPa'a Market - Ahí Tuna Poke Bowl with Shoyu/Spicy Mayo, crab salad, ginger, cucumber, and sushi rice - Seafood Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Koko Marina take out place with 2 small tables to dine in. They have poke bowls, plate lunches, and sandwiches with nice fresh ingredients. The Ahi avocado burger is a tasty creation with a solid hunkin chunk of fish on a lovely purple taro bun. Definitely one of the better fish sandwiches I have ever had! My friend got the teriyaki chicken plate which came with rice, green salad , and Mac salad. Because the portions are generous here, I think you get decent value. Will keep this place in mind and recommend it to others when looking for lunch on the east side. read more

Nice place to get poke bowls in Hawaii Kai. It's in the Koko Marina shopping center near Teddy's Bigger Burgers. They offer fresh and frozen (cheaper) ahi, salmon, he'e (octopus), shrimp, imitation crab and tofu on choice of rice. You get to choose how you want your protein prepared which I think is great. Haven't seen many poke places do that. I like having the option to mix it up. Anyway the portions of the fish is decent and the rice hot. My brother got the teri chicken plate. He loved it! The sauce was very good and the chicken was tender and moist, and a pretty good helping of it too. I thought the price was reasonable and the food tasty. I want to come back and try the garlic Parmesan crusted ahi or the seared blackened ahi- they sound so ono! read more

My first time trying this spot! Super delicious wow. Only thing I didn't like was the menu wasn't totally clear. I ordered a poke plate but after I got the bill I realized $25 was a big jump from the $14 next to the words "Fresh Ahi" So I asked what happened there and she said I get potato salad and green salad with the poke and rice. I figured it was my first time so might as well try it. The verdict: not worth it! The salad was pretty good, but the potato salad was no bueno. Just get the bowl with fresh ahi (which is amazing) and some rice. I also didn't like the avocado as it tasted old. I'm pretty picky about my avocado though. And I really really enjoyed the combo of garlic and oyster sauce on the ahi. read more

HanaPa'a Market - Poke plate $23. Fresh ahi with garlic and oyster sauce sooooo good!!!! Plate not worth it though, not a fan of the potato salad lol - Seafood Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

I arrived to the island. I was starving. I drove here without much plans and I was extremely happy. The food was outstanding (ahi fantastic, I think it's what it was called). There was only a problem, I left too full and had to carry it with me to the top of Koko head! ;) I will return when in the island read more

Ahi tuna poke bowl shoyu flavor was way too salty. Too much shoyu; not edible. KThe salmon spicy mayo poke bowl was good. Ahi tuna poke bowl Hawaiian flavor was also too salty. Every bite of tuna had a big coarse sea salt flake. Too salty. Also the store upon entering had a very acrid chemical smell. Not sure what it is. Almost like a gas leak. And I felt sick to my stomach and had to dine outdoors read more

Good fresh seafood with friendly staff and a few tables to eat inside if you want. Prices were decent for the area.

Looking for a refreshing local poke/seafood after your Koko head hike, Hanauma Bay snorkel, or a dehydrating yet satisfying Makapu'u lighthouse hike? Then HanaPa'a Market is the place for YOU. Queue advertisement . In all seriousness, this is probably the favorite 50 year old poke mom&pop shop on the East side. Plenty of parking in the hopping marina plaza and a small indoor seating area to boot. The prices are incredibly reasonable with decent portion sizes. Most of all, the fish was fresh and mixed on the spot. Recs: make your own poke bowl by picking 1-2 proteins, individual flavors for each (our picks included spicy mayo, ginger, and the unique fave - Hawaiian style which has pops of seaweed saltiness). Choose furikake for rice topping. Loved the pickled radish side as well. Must-tries include the Tako (octopus) and shrimp along with the prototypical faves: ahi tuna and salmon. Bowls ~$16. Excellent service. Will be back. read more

Omg yum. So fresh - the owner, Keone knows fishermen from growing up so the fish never makes it to a store - goes straight from boat to resto. All is made in store. Got the ahi sandwich - delicious avocado and purple bun and a light salad / perfectly salted chips. We also got the fruit bowl w tropical fruits, granola, honey and homemade haupio - smooth and creamy like whip cream - not gelatinous at all. Cashier was a kind delight too. read more

We tried HanaPa'a Market for the first time the other day, as it's been on my list of must-tries ever since we saw a segment on them on the news when they first opened. I'm just rarely ever on the east side of the island. Good first impression, as staff greeted us right as we stepped in (and also said thank you as we walked out). Although they also had salads, sandwiches, and plate lunches, they're known for their poke bowls. I don't believe they advertised their prices for the poke bowls, as they change depending on the market. However last weekend, it was $12 for a pre-frozen poke bowl, $17 for fresh. You can also choose between white rice, sushi rice, and brown rice (or salad for an additional cost). Of course we went with fresh, so we shared a fresh spicy ahi poke bowl with white rice (too expensive to both get our own). That was the most expensive poke bowl I have ever gotten. For $17, it was tiny. It was served in a small plastic take out container (that's to be expected), but I'm sad to say when closed, the poke didn't touch the lid. I liked that they had lots of onions mixed in (I love the freshness), but it was a lot because it was a filler for the lack of fish. The sauce of the spicy mayo was also more salty than I would like (smart, because saltier sauce means you'll eat more rice with each bite). The fish did taste very fresh though so that's good. Also I would recommend going with the sushi rice, as the white rice was steaming hot under the fish. I would imagine sushi rice would be a little cooler, as I don't like the hot and cold mixing. Warm rice would be preferable to the steaming hot rice we had. Also sad to say that although the few tables they have are situated in the small shop, none of the staff bothered to clean the tables between customers. I guess it satisfied my craving for poke, but I don't imagine returning, especially for that price (I'm also rarely in the area). I know inflation is huge right now but it's a little much for me. read more

We all know what used to be here. So the natural curiosity is "How do the poke bowls compare?". I work in the shopping center, so this review hinges on price, quality, and convenience. Price vs Quality: the price point for the bowls are the same as the previous poke joint. HOWEVER, I will say the ahi poke is night and day when you go fresh versus frozen. And that's where you should expect to spend about $4-5 more. I purchased two Spicy Mayo Ahi poke bowls- one fresh ($18) and one frozen ($13). The fresh ahi is delish- no aftertaste or slime. Perfect texture and portion. A bit heavy on the mayo, but forgivable with the extra ingredients (onions, furikake, and tobiko) giving a welcomed dimension of texture. The frozen ahi was not nearly as impressive, mainly because the fish taste was strong even with the strong marinade mixed with it. Portions were perfect, but this begs the question: Are you willing to spend almost $20 for a fresh poke bowl? That's completely up to you. Personally, my lunch breaks should hover around $12-15, but I'm willing to pay the extra to splurge on quality poke. Will def be returning to try the other marinades. read more

HanaPa'a Market is located in Koko Marina in the old spot that had Paina Cafe. They have a lot of selection of choices. You can create a bowl of a plate. The choices they had to create bowls or plates was ahi, octopus, salmon, shrimp, and imitation crab. Bowls are 1/3 pound of fish on a bed of rice. Plates are with added salad. They also have sandwiches, salads, and wraps. We got the salmon poke bowls. Last time I went to a poke place with my daughter the mix was a little too spicy so I made sure to ask if it was spicy. I asked about the shoyu one and he said it could be a little spicy because of the ginger. He gave her a little sample of the sauce so she could taste it. That was nice of him. She thought it was too spicy. So then he said how about the oyster sauce. She tried that one and she liked that one. So we ordered salmon with oyster sauce bowl and salmon with Hawaiian style bowl. We took both bowls home to eat. It was good. Surprising my daughter ate all her fish but maybe one bite left. The Hawaiian style mix was good. I took out all the onions, I'll ask for it out next time. But the mix was good with the ogo, salmon, shoyu, and Hawaiian salt. We also had a choice of having furikake on our rice. It was a nice touch. The meal was good. It was a lot of rice though and we threw away most of it. I wish there was more fish. Some other places have added fix ins like tempura flakes and avocado. Hopefully they will offer some of the extras in the future. I hope to come back soon and try their spicy ahi and spicy salmon poke bowls. read more

HanaPa'a Market - Ahi Lovers Platter - Seafood Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

We stopped at this wonderful restaurant on the way back from a trip along the eastern past of Oahu. We wanted a poke style dish but asked if they could cook the ahi tuna. The owner said no problem at all. We decided on the poke bento box, which included Kalua style pork, two styles of ahi tuna, imitation crab, brown rice and some veggies. Bottom line was this was the best tasting meal we had during our 4 day stay on Oahu. Mahalo!!! Staff was super friendly and nice to us. We will definitely eat here again next time we make it back to the island. read more

The poke was so fresh and tasty. Rice was warm and cooked well. Ambience is a little crowded, not much room to sit. Maybe for like 12 people? Service was great :) you order your food and pay and then sit. Very casual. read more

We were in the Hawai'i Kai area and wanted to try a new place. Found Hanapa'a Market and really liked their food. I love poke style, but don't care for green onions so I was happy they do it fresh and can make it with no onions at all. They give you choice of steamed, brown or sushi rice. Had mine with sushi rice and furikake. Staff is friendly and offers suggestions if you're having difficulty trying to decide. The only thing is, minimal seating. It's located in the Koko Marina Mall and a nice area. Would I go back? YESSSSSS. A must try in my opinion. read more

I was looking for a fish/ahi place in the area and came across HanaPa'a Market. Came here and was greeted by a nice girl behind the counter, super friendly. The food was awesome! I had the Misoyaki Salmon and the fish was nice and hot on a bed of sushi rice. My father got the Ahi Fever, 3 different experiences of ahi on 1 plate. Clean place and I believe is locally owned as well. Check them out if you're in the area! read more

Fresh and delicious! Finally a great spot in Koko Marina for poke. Need a recommendation? The owner is often there, super friendly (the entire team is welcoming) and will be able to help you out. Took home a couple smoked salmon dip for later, best place to share pupus (or don't share, your choice, it's so ono. ). We live around the corner so the family had been making it a routine stop. read more

This place was such an unexpected find but ended up being one of the best poke places I've had! I got their ahi poke shoyu style and the tuna was so fresh! It really just melted in my mouth. The rice was also super good (they ran out of sushi rice but their white rice was so yummy as well). You can buy fish here by the pound (quarter pound, half, etc) as well. Would definitely recommend coming here for poke or raw fish cravings!! read more

We came here after hiking the koko head trail. They open at 10:30 which was perfect since we have been up since 5 am and in search of lunch food. The place is very clean. You order at the counter and there are a total of 12 seats. Some counter seating and a couple tables. We ordered the teriyaki chicken plate and the garlic Parmesan crusted ahi. The teriyaki place was delicious. Chicken was tender and paired well with the potato salad and green salad. My husband got the garlic Parmesan ahi. We thought it would come covered with Parmesan but it was kinda thrown on top. Still tasted good though. Would definitely recommend for a quick lunch stop! read more

HanaPa'a Market - Bento and poke bowl packed to the brim!!! - Seafood Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Spicy Ahi Bowl: white rice topped with Furikake, spicy Ahi, onions, avocado, tobiko, green onions & unagi sauce. Tbh was blown away with how good this was today. The fish is fresh and soft. The avocado is nice and ripe. Rice is fresh and not hard. When you get a poke bowl here make sure to always add avocado and unagi sauce! Makes a world of a difference. What really stood out for me tbh is the amount of stringed white onions that was added. It just gives the bowl a certain depth that others don't. Still rather come here than Onos. Excited for the next visit. Going to try a different sauce combination. Maybe oyster sauce next? read more

Clean, good tasting food and generous portions. Quick service. Not cheap but comparable prices in the area. Good place for quick meal.

We ordered takeout for our family this past weekend from HanaPa'a Market for the first time, and we will definitely be back! We ordered the smoked ahi sandwich, which came with fresh slices of avocado, a large salad and potato chips, and a poke bento (we ordered the kimchi poke and the Hawaiian style poke - you get to choose two from different types of poke offered), which came with a huge serving of kalua pig and imitation crab salad, takuan, and Japanese-style ginger, and a shoyu ahi poke bowl. The servings were huge, and the ahi was super fresh! read more

Customer service is an A++++ being a restaurant manager and working in the industry for 15 years, the staff here is top notch! Love the food, I think I come here every week. I either come here myself or make a coworker grab the food, I just buy it. He has a new fav. My order sometimes is a little difficult, I mean I would be irritated with my order but they do it with a smile. Thanks for everything, I'll see you again on Sunday probably. read more

If I can give this place more stars I definitely would! I had been eyeing this place up for some time before I had to make a Costco run and that gave me the excuse to visit. It's located where Paina Cafe used to be but you can tell these guys run a clean kitchen. Paina used to smell like fish which for me was a turn off. But this place is CLEAN. There's some seating plus chalk written menu boards listing what they have. On one board they list the kinds of protein they carry as well as the sauces and extra toppings. On the right hand board are all their plate lunches, like miso salmon, ahi Caesar etc. On this visit my sister and I tried the garlic ahi poke, spicy salmon poke and the garlic tofu. Had to wait a bit because each poke is made to order! No fish sitting in sauce all day like other places. This small attention to detail sets this place apart and it shows in the food. Poke came out quickly and omg it was divine! The garlic sauce has so much garlic you can slay a vampire afterwards. The spicy salmon was gone so fast I couldn't try any. It's very easy to see why they took first place at this years East side Poke Fest. If I wasn't worried about mercury poisoning I'd eat here daily. read more
