Stopped in for the ahi poké. Left with a pound of that and half a pound of some yummie pickled garlic. Love me some garlic! Looking forward to my next visit for pastele and Hawaiian plates. Do love me some fresh fish poké and the fish is fresh fresh and very flavorful! Owner was so kind that she even gave me a heaping container of rice to go with the poké ! Located in the heart of Waipahu and sharing parking lot with a few other businesses. Ho'omana is easily accessible. Participating in the Save a Bite program. What a great way of trying something new while helping small business! read more

Solid service and the pricing is in line with all the surrounding places... The poke was good, ordered a few flavors. Fish is fresh and pricing for fresh is decent. The fried chicken was fried perfectly and super crispy. But it has zero flavor. It's chicken thats fried with nothing else. I used the remnants of my spicy ahi sauce and it helped but this chicken could definitely use a sauce or maybe just salt. Maybe it was an off day? But I'd skip the fried chicken and the smoked meat my friend had. You could taste the smoke, but no other flavor. Onto the next spot! read more

Ho'omana Fish Co. is a great new poke shop that opened toward the end of last year inside the Waipahu Festival Marketplace. GPS directions can be off, so search for the marketplace. Parking is easy, with spots directly in front of the store. The ahi here is fresh and high quality. I tried a few of their poke dishes, including the spicy Hawaiian, spicy ahi, California roll ahi, tako, and imitation crab. I also had their spicy cucumber side. Every single option was delicious! The customer service is exceptionally friendly and helpful. Highly recommended! read more

If I'm being honest, Ho'omana Fish Market was good, but it didn't quite stand out from the rest. The ahi katsu was definitely the highlight--crispy, flavorful, and very tasty. The fried chicken was also good, with that classic local homemade flavor, but it didn't have anything that really set it apart from other places. The service was friendly and accommodating, which made for a pleasant experience. The atmosphere was very quiet; almost library quiet. I'm not sure if it was because they were slow when I stopped by, but it felt unusually calm. Overall, the combo plate is worth ordering because they fill it up to the max. So if in the area give them a try. I think if I was to revisit, I'd come back to give their poké bowl a try. read more

Another hidden gem in Waipahu. As a poke lover, I can confirm their Spicy Ahi Poke is surprisingly fresh and flavorful. They offered to put unagi sauce on top of the poke which was good. I took home a pound of this poke that I quickly devoured with rice. Very satisfying! Plain, simple & clean place. Modern digital display signage for menus and contactless payment terminal. Looks like most people take out here but there are a few counter seats along the front window, no tables. Staff are friendly. I definitely will be back to try their Ahi Katsu, Creamy Garlic Butter Ahi, and Fried chicken that other Yelpers are raving about. Beware that hot foods are only served between 10am-2pm while they last and they're closed Sun & Mon. read more

Came back after my last review because I couldn't stop thinking about that ahi katsu... and then I made the most dangerous decision possible... I read the fried chicken reviews So now I'm standing there like an absolute menace thinking "why not both?" Best decision I've made all week. Ahi katsu AND fried chicken on the same plate? That's not a meal, that's a life experience. The ahi katsu is still unreal. Super fresh, perfectly cooked, crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside... you can tell right away they're not messing around with quality. Then the fried chicken shows up like it's trying to compete... crispy, juicy, seasoned like somebody's aunty is in the back making sure it's done right. And then I added the fresh tako sesame poke on the side... yeah, that was overkill in the best way possible. Portion size? Let's just say they're not out here playing "fine dining small plate games." You're getting hooked up. I walked in thinking snack... walked out needing a nap. If you're the type that cares about freshness, quality, and actually getting your money's worth, this spot is dangerous. You tell yourself you'll try one thing... next thing you know you're ordering half the menu like me. 10/10. No regrets. Already planning my next bad decision. read more

Ho’omana Fish - Ahi katsu fried chicken combo. - Poke Near Me - Waipahu, Hawaii

I'm so glad I discovered Hoomana Fish--truly a hidden gem in the heart of Waipahu! Fresh fish, a super convenient location, and genuinely friendly staff...a triple threat. First off, the prices are very reasonable for the quality and portion size. I ordered the Ahi Combo ($22), which comes with ahi katsu and creamy garlic butter ahi. My plate had six generous pieces of ahi, three of each. The plate could easily feed more than 1 person! The ahi was cooked perfectly: crispy on the outside for the katsu, tender and flavorful throughout. The creamy garlic butter sauce complimented the ahi very well. The staff were welcoming and helpful, and the space looks newly renovated--clean, bright, and inviting. Also, in addition to their menu, they also carry snacks and condiments from local vendors: crack sauce, chili pepper water, baked goods, etc. Definitely looking forward to coming back to try their fried chicken or a poke bowl next time! read more

Ho’omana Fish - Ahi Combo (Ahi Katsu + Creamy Garlic Butter Ahi) - Poke Near Me - Waipahu, Hawaii

Seriously good ahi katsu, garlic ahi, and fried chicken?!? Thank you bruddah Ramfis B for the rec. The ahi katsu equals that of Flyin' Ahi and is bested only by Ken's Fresh Fish in Laie. In other words, second best on the island. Quality, fresh ahi cooked medium results in a uber tender, moist center and crisp outside. It is finished with the Hawaii requisites siracha mayo and kabayaki . The garlic ahi, uses the same quality, fresh ahi. It is aggressively seasoned with salt then pan fried medium before being doused in a creamy buttery garlic sauce. The sauce is very garlic forward but with zero bitter oxidized flavor. Both can be ordered separately or as a combo for just a few bucks more. The fried chicken, winnah! Brined pieces of boneless thighs are simply seasoned before being dredged in a flour / starch mixture and deep fried. Ethereally crisp skin, uber moist inside. Eat it quick, the crispness will not last in a closed container. Fresh poke, a few other non fish plates and a burger also available. Note, food is made when ordered. Expect a 20 minute wait for the fried chicken. Super friendly, local service. A standout in the plethora of eateries in Waipahu. read more

Took a ride Waipahu to try Ho'omana Fish. I would say this is a takeout venue. Although there is limited counter seating. We were waited on by a young man learning the ropes and a women training him. Service was friendly. We ordered some sesame crab poke and limu Ahi poke. Also ordered bought two plate lunches. My wife had the Ahi Katsu . The ahi was a little dry, the potato salad was very good. I had the Beer Battered Mahi Mahi. This plate lunch came with fries. The fries were under cooked and soggy. The battered fish lacked flavor. The portions of the plate lunches were worth the price This is a new business so give them some time m e yo work out the kinks. Enjoy read more

I was in Waipahu and seen this place and HAD to try it! They have fresh fish so of course I was expecting good food. I ordered Da Ahi Combo and WOW! Amazing!!! It came with ahi katsu & ahi with creamy garlic sauce, potato salad & rice. Let me tell you!!! Sooooo good!!!! The flavor was beyond amazing and everything had taste, nothing was dry. The creamy garlic sauce had a buttery garlic taste, so good! And the ahi katsu had so much taste and the fish was moist They were friendly and I didn't wait too long for the food. It was pretty packed with everyone eating inside. They have a couple of chairs to dine in but not a lot so take out if anything. Lots of parking. My plate was $22 not bad at all read more

I just had to try this place. I kinda wanted to tune it right since that parking lot gets pretty hectic because of the Waipahu Festival market. I guess I timed it right there was a lot of parking If you're in a rush, you'll have to wait for your food. It is cooked to order. You won't regret the wait. I ordered the Ahi Katsu Fried chicken plate. Y U M M E E E!!! The fried chicken is boneless, crispy and moist, the Ahi Katsu was breaded perfectly and the sauce on it was on point. I also got the dried taegu. Price right cause my hubby and I shared the plate and still had leftovers Go check um goooooo Place is small with a counter and maybe 8 stools. Very clean. read more

Sister wanted to try something different that was recommended by someone she follows as a food critic. Because they make it fresh and was advised of the wait she said service was excellent plus gave her chance to see what else they offer, hence the discovery of the Chili Oil, which we got hooked on by a different brand. Sister indicated the place was clean and organized. The food..yummy..definitely a place to go back, we even tried their different poke. So if you want to try a different place for fish, highly recommend..enjoy! read more

I Walked in to a clean empty vibe like a poke shop(I should've caught the hint and left). I ordered hamburger steak and mochiko chicken mix. I added gravy all over for $1 more, potato salad and 1 What'S Smashing Sauce container. The Total 32.98. I looked at the price and was confused about the price and then I noticed the sauce was 12.50 for the small container (I rate the sauce 5outta10 and not worth that price,over priced). So i waited about 14 minutes and that's good for made to order. I opened the plate and noticed the chicken was burnt and I almost gave it back to them but I didn't want the Cooks special sauce, if you know what I mean, LOL. The cooking oil needed to be changed and you can taste it plus chicken over cooked(look pictures of black chicken). Came with one hamburger patty just like the frozen pattys I buy at Sam's Club and cook at home. Patty was Cooked good with a good gravy that had a hint of butter and grilled onions. I ate less then half of the plate. Sorry but like always I'm Just being blunt and honest as i always do. I dont eat seafood so I can't give a review on that but with what I ordered here, sorry but I dont recommend this place as it is just ok and well over priced. Take care read more

Always in search of Good Fried Chicken and on a recommendation by Braddah Manu P, he told me that this place in Waipahu called Ho'omana Fish Company get some Ono Fried Chicken so of i had to make a trek out to Waipahu and give it a try. As for the Fried Chicken, Braddah Manu was on point. The Fried Chicken was perfectly seasoned and was lightly dusted with flour or some other ingredient. Fried Chicken was light and crunchy and no bones to be found so it was easy to eat. Fried Chicken came out piping hot and it was nice and juicy. It comes with two scoops of rice and choice of Mac or Potato Salad. Not gonna lie the Mac Salad had a just a tad too much Mayo if you ask me the Rice was ok as well. But for the $15 price tag I feel it was good value and I heard the Ahi Katsu is really good too. They even got Fresh Ahi Poke and Local Style Burgers as well. It's only been a month since Ho'omana Fish Company has been open and I feel with time this place can get busy. They are located next to Hashi Okazuya in the Waipahu Festival Marketplace. They even sell other items like Chili Oil,Seasonings and Pickled Onions too. Give Ho'omana Fish Comapny a try. I really liked the Fried Chicken and I'll definitely come back here to try their other items. Support Local Businesses everyone -- at Ho'omana Fish Co. . read more

First time here~ Ahi belly plate and Ahi katsu sandwich were very very delicious!!! Will definitely have to go back!!!

Went there about 11 and the parking lot is nearly full. We get stuck behind a couple of cars that are waiting/hoping that a car in the row will be leaving. There are more spots in the excess lot but nobody seems to want to go there and walk a few more steps to their destination. Ho'omana is in the old Futaba spot. My son and went there for some Friday night dinners. I loved that restaurant and hope I will love its replacement. It's our first time here and I like the vibe it gives off. The woman helping us is carrying a young baby until a babysitter arrives to take her away. The child is cute and friendly, repeatedly saying 'hi'. We're told there's a 15 minute wait because the cook is finishing up a large order. When the guy comes to pick up his order (a couple of large Costco plastic containers) the cook helps him carry it out. The order is large (justifying the price). The fried chicken is yummy and the ahi katsu is plentiful. We also order a couple of the poke. The poke is fresh and cut nicely into smaller pieces than Foodland. And there was unagi sauce over the poke that added umami flavor to it. Worth waiting for. read more

I wish I could give 10 stars this place is so amazing don't miss out eating here.from when you walk in you immediately feel like family and the service was amazing. I just wanna point out how clean the place was from the pass placards on the window to the ambiance inside was impressive. The food was even more incredible so much flavor they definitely know what they doing I got the ahi combo which had creamy garlic sauce and ahi katsu with 2 scoops rice and potato salad by far the best I had. I even got a quarter pound of the dry ahi Taegu that buggah is winnahs I highly recommend this place to you to eat thank me later. read more

Ahi katsu was pretty good, probably like an 8.5 or 9 out of 10. Good portion, crispy breading, and the sauces were super good. My only complaint is that never had enough sauce. How the pieces are stacked up only get sauce on less than half of the ones below. Liked the furikake on the fish, would be good if had little bit furikake on the rice too. read more

Came in a little after lunch. Not busy. Walked up an ordered spicy ahi bowl and couple others pokes. Hands down best spicy ahi bowl with light unagi sauce. Delicious. I like my poke smaller cut n it was. Flavor was there. My niece n I shared n she loves spicy ahi and she said it was 10/10! Def will be back. read more

So I walk in and place looks nice and clean. I order the combo of ahi katsu and fried chicken with potato salad and no rice. Guy cashier says if I wanted anything else so I ask can I substitute anything for the rice. He say Mac salad or toss, I say toss would be good. Lady from the back tells him it's three dollars more for the toss salad, I say no that's okay. I guess there is no substitution for the rice. After a twenty minute wait which is fine as food is made when ordered, I get my takeout order and head home! I open my dinner to find no salad also! On the good side ahi katsu was a winner, chicken a little dry but tasty! Probably would have tasted better with potato salad on the side.... read more

Stumbled in yesterday after a visit to DLS and they were sold out of a lot of options so I could only get the Spicy Ahi. The service was very friendly and I wish I could have tried something not covered in heavy sauce as I would like to taste the quality of the fish but from what I could make out the quality was terrific! Absolutely buttery and no stringy or chewiness. The spicy sauce was great as well and not overpowering! It did taste a lot better than Foodland, almost comparable to Tanioka's but wayyyy cheaper! They offer plate lunches as well but seeing as I had just fasted, I didn't want to wait and this was close to closing time so I felt guilty making them fry anything at that point in the Day. I will come back and explore more of their menu. It's a couple stores down from Hashi Okazuya and shares the lot with the Waipahu Festival Market so parking although plentiful, can be very chaotic depending what time you stop by. So glad there's fresh new businesses popping up in the area. read more

1st of all I saw this place on the social media Facebook just opened about a week now I think so after my husband dentist appointment I told him let's try them. So we drove to Waipahu they located close to Hashi okazuya at the end of the bldg. I ordered their ahi fish katsu sauce on the side. My husband ordered their special new item menu beer battered Mahi Mahi. My ahi kstsu was massive had 3 big pieces of ahi katsu though they were lacking some salt on the fish. That's why they give you the sauces whether on it or separate like I ordered. For $18.00 comes with 2 scoops rice, potato salad, and the katsu. My husband one cones with French fries and the battered fish. He said if they had dine in the fish and fries would have been good. The French fries were soft and limpy like never fry them long enough to make it crisp. The poke was good. They were training a boy who was taking orders since I think it was the owner who making other people's orders before us. If you like to try their ahi katsu go and support them. They even have hamburgers too. Their poke is good too. read more

After a doctor appointment in Waipahu, I talked my husband out of eating Arby's and trying someplace new like the Ho'omana Fish. So glad I did! Since we had the dogs in the car and I knew what I wanted, Da Ahi Combo with potato salad, my husband went in so he could look what he wanted and order our food. He said when he went in, he was hit with a wonderful smell. He couldn't help himself and said to himself, "What is that?!" Apparently he said it loud enough that a guy said, "Chicken skin! It's winnas!" So of course he ordered it along with my order and the Creamy Garlic Ahi for himself. For $8.00, the chicken skin was totally the winnas! When my husband was carrying it to the car, the lid couldn't close. It still didn't close even after eating several pieces on our way home. It was deliciously crunchy and not oily at all. The bag with the two plate lunches were unexpectedly heavy. You get the bang for your buck here. I was able to get several meals from these plates. The potato salad had a good taste. Straight up potato with mayo. Pretty solid favor that I enjoyed. The ahi katsu had a strong umami favor sauce which was good. Hindsight I would order the sauce on the side since there's so much that I couldn't eat it all and it would keep and reheat better without the sauce. There was a crunch to the coating and the fish had a fresh flavor. I throughly enjoyed the creamy garlic ahi. The sauce is light and smooth that the ahi and sauce complimented each other making it a wonderful bite. The fish wasn't hard or overcooked. I wonder if they would cook it rarer if requested. There is a great contrast in flavor between the ahi katsu and the creamy garlic ahi. So when you get the combo, you will experience opposite spectrums of a flavor profile. My husband said he noticed how clean it was when he opened the door. It impressed him enough because he never told me that about any other place we got food from. He also said the people were really nice. We found another go to place especially to take our kids when they come back home from the mainland. We will happily support this local establishment! read more
