Hou Fish Market is a small local spot on Kapiolani, next to the U-Haul in Kakaako, doing poke, sushi, and drinks without much fuss. The room is clean and organized, which I appreciated immediately. Nothing about it is trying too hard, and that is usually a good sign here. In this case, though, the food landed more in the decent-than-memorable range I got the Aloha Bowl, which the restaurant presents as one of its signature poke bowls. It was okay: perfectly edible, reasonably fresh, but not the kind of bowl that makes you start planning a return visit before you finish lunch. For what it costs, I wanted either better fish, better balance, or just more of a reason to choose it over the many stronger poke options nearby. Honolulu is not short on places that do this with more confidence, and that matters when the pricing starts climbing We sat outside, which was fine apart from a few flies, and that did not feel like the shop's fault so much as the reality of sitting outside near Kapiolani. Service and setup felt functional, and the place seems built for easy lunch traffic more than spectacle. I do not mind modest. I just want modest and notably good. This was more modest and okay read more

PARKING: We parked in the self storage lot quickly to pick up our order, lots of stalls available. INTERIOR/AMBIANCE: Small shop with a few seats inside and outside. Intended more for take-out, easily accessible to those who work around the area. FOOD: We both ordered Aloha Bowls (included ahi & salmon). The fish was fresh, but the bowls themselves were just ok. It would have been nice if there was some sort of sauce. We were provided shoyu and wasabi so we just dipped the fish in that. OVERALL: Convenient and easy location and bowls prepared timely, but not our favorite poke bowls. read more

First time ordering from here. FREE PARKING shared lot with Public Storage. Enter parking lot on Kamake'e St. The entrance to Hou Fish Market is located on Kapiolani Blvd. They were very patient and kind as I had a special order sushi platter. Fish was fresh and flavor of the rice was consistent. I'm glad we tried it. read more

I recently ordered from Hou Fish Market and had a fantastic experience! I tried the Aloha Platter and the Sashimi Salad Platter, and both were absolutely fresh and flavorful. The sashimi was melt-in-your-mouth quality, and the variety in the Aloha Platter made it perfect for sharing. The online ordering system was simple and intuitive, making the process stress-free. Pickup was quick, and the staff were friendly and welcoming, which added to the overall positive experience. If you're looking for fresh seafood with great service, Hou Fish Market is definitely worth a visit. Highly recommend both platters! read more

I had a late lunch with my hubby here this past Wednesday. I got the chirashi bowl $22.95 and he got the teriyaki chicken bowl $16.95. We also shared a brown sugar milk tea $6.95. The chirashi bowl was great. The fish was firm and fresh. The fish slices were thick. They had sushi rice instead of just white rice. It came with three slices each of hamachi, ahi and salmon. It had two slices of egg and squid and a piece of shrimp. It was topped with ikura. I didn't try the teriyaki chicken bowl, but it was on the smaller side for the price. The brown sugar milk tea was also very good. It was creamy, refreshing and not overly sweet. I will definitely be back for another chirashi bowl. read more

Had the spicy ahi poke bowl with sushi rice. The ahi was fresh and cut nicely, with a mild spicy kick that wasn't overpowering. Sushi rice was warm and decently seasoned, which paired well with the fish. Portion was filling and everything tasted fresh. Nothing over the top, but solid and reliable if you're in the mood for a simple poke bowl. I'd order it again. read more

Big fan of seared salmon bowls...I was actually in the area running errands at South Shore Market place. I was craving a seared salmon bowl and was looking forward to going to Ocean's Taste but they were closed. Looked on Yelp for the next best thing and found this place! I have been to the location in Waipahu and I will say this location is equally as awesome despite the smaller space. I dined it and ordered the seared salmon bowl, which was amazing. I was the only person inside but there were a handful of people coming in to pick up their takeout order or placing an order while I was eating. I parked in the Self-Storage parking lot behind the building (orange roofs) and then walked around the corner to Hou Fish Market. This place is a bit $$ but worth it. I would come again! read more

Takeout lunch from Honolulu, Hawaii... My friend and I needed lunch before a movie. We chose Hou Fish Market because it was relatively close to the Consolidated Ward Theater and had free parking in the Self Storage lot around the corner. Service was efficient and polite. We decided to take our food to go instead of dining in (there's outdoor and indoor seating) because we had some time to go somewhere else for bubble tea. We were the only customers on a Sunday afternoon! I ordered the Aloha Bowl. Everything tasted fresh and looked colorfully beautiful! The ahi, salmon, avocado, crab salad, ginger, and seaweed salad were all tasty. I didn't need to use shoyu because the sushi rice was seasoned well! I would return! read more

​Rating: Our vendor had catered lunch for us by them yesterday and they absolutely crushed it! The vendor ordered 4 large sushi platters and everyone was impressed. ​The variety was excellent and the presentation was beautiful--you could tell right away that the fish was incredibly fresh. The taste was spot on and exactly what we were looking for. ​It's great knowing they have convenient locations in both town and Waipahu. This is definitely going to be our go-to spot for future catering. Highly recommend if you need fresh, high-quality sushi for a group! read more

There is plenty parking in the back. Love that they have online ordering. We got the Kapiolani platter. The torched garlic ahi and salmon nigiri was the best thing in the platter. I wish there was more. Sushi tasted good. My husband wished there was more spicy ahi on the California rolls. Will be back to try the bowls! read more

Hou Fish Market - Map - Poke Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Food: I had a sukiyaki bowl with a tuna roll costing a little over $20. I left satisfied having room for dessert but not at all starving feeling hungry. Flavors were as expected for the items I got. Service & Ambiance: Service was fine. I called ahead the day before because I was concerned about seating, and when I arrived the staff had already set up a table based on my request, which I appreciated. Inside seating is limited, with about 10-12 seats total, while the outside has around three tables with 2-4 chairs each. Ordering and payment is done at the counter, but they will deliver the food to you at your table. Water cups were provided upon request with our order, though the cups are small and there's no self-serve water station. Tables are self-cleanup it seemed, and all food is served in disposable containers. Overall, this place feels more geared toward grab-and-go rather than a full dine-in experience. read more

Tried this poke bowl place for the first time today after my work meeting. We picked up a mix salmon deluxe bowl and the dragon roll. This place was pretty popular for takeout because as I was deciding on what to get, 2 people came in to pick up their food. After I finallllyyy decided on what to get, we waited for a short while and the food was ready. We took it back to the office to eat while we continued working and it was the perfect lunch work meal. My poke bowl was fresh and had a generous amount of shoyu ahi poke, crab salad, cucumbers, avocado, and salmon. The poke was lightly seasoned with shoyu and didn't overpower the other items in the bowl. Surprisingly, I liked the crab salad too. There are plenty of open tables for people to dine in and normally, we would have if we didn't have to work. The staff was friendly and patient with me while I was deciding on what to order too. read more

Hou Fish Market has great poke bowls! My go to is their seared garlic salmon bowl. It always tastes fresh and love the torched pieces of salmon covered in yummy garlic mayo!!! Definitely recommend ordering online so that it's ready when you get there. There's also a bunch of tables inside if you prefer to eat your bowl right away :) Parking is in the back - same lot as the storage and AT&T so it's never an issue! read more

I've been wanting to check this place out since they opened as they were located right across my alma mater. I finally made my way with Emily R. when I was visiting Hawaii. It's located in the building where the Public Storage and AT&T reside across of McKinley High School on Kapiolani Blvd in Ward. There's a parking lot with ample stalls in the back of the building on Kamakee St. There's a small dining area in the shop where they'll serve you. It was kind of confusing as it seemed like a takeout spot and sit anywhere that's open. Not too sure. But Emily and I were both served by one of the workers. I got their Seared Salmon Bowl with Crab Salad (extra $2), and the portions were beautifully assembled and huge (peep at pics)! What a deal for the amount of food we got, I would say! I don't think the fish was the freshest but still very good as the seared mayo with the unagi sauce added soooo much flavor, YUM! The crab salad wasn't overly mayo-y either, giving the perfect balance to the heavy unagi flavor. It was quite good that I came back another time during the another trip to get it again because I was craving it! It also helped that they opened quite early as well. Overall, a great place for a decent priced sushi, sushi platters, and kaisendons/specialty bowls. Would love to come back to try their spicy ahi bowl in the future. There are a lot of competitions around the area so it's definitely based on preference! read more

My friends recently brought a food platter from Hou Fish Market at a get together that was really good. I assumed it came from a well known Japanese restaurant across BMW but he said no- it comes from Hou At half the price ! I got the hamachi bowl and a tuna/salmon nigiri combo last night. It was tasty and good quality for what you pay. Good portions too. Nice and clean- next time we will eat in and get the gelato; didn't try but looks like a good selection. read more

Tucked away on the maki side of Kapiolani Blvd and Kamakee St this sushi restaurant has small indoor seating area and slightly larger outdoor eating area. Geared more towards takeout orders the selection is quite extensive with reasonable pricing although it does add up quickly when you are Ono for some fresh sushi. Service is speed is reasonable for the limited amount of staff available during our visit on a Sunday evening. The sushi dishes tasted fresh, although at the prices I'm sure it's previously frozen Ahi, a good selection from regular sushi, rolls and bowls are available. Only soda and some smoothies milk teas with or without boba are available, if you want any alcoholic beverages you'll need to BYOB. Friendly service, great selection, and reasonable prices to satisfy that sushi food fix I would recommend this location especially prior to any events being held at the Blaisdell just across the road. read more

The poke bowls at Hou Fish Market are very good. They are made to order using fresh Fish. I like it here, not only for the selection, but because there is inside and outside seating, free parking behind the storage facility and a dog menu! I didn't have my dog taste test it, so she can't give it a review. Maybe next time. Along with the usual poke bowls, there are platters, udon, and salads. And, there are lots of drinks... milk teas, fruit teas, and smoothies. read more

Hou Fish Market is a great spot to grab a quick, fresh bite of fish. To me, it's similar quality to Domo Cafe but they have more variety plus the seared salmon bowls that I love. I placed an online order and it was ready in 15 minutes tops. I love that they're open on the later side which is rare for a poke place. I got the seared salmon bowl, which comes with a generous portion of salmon and their addictive garlic mayo, seared just right. There's seating inside plus a variety of Asian snacks and drinks to supplement your meal. I will definitely keep coming back here! Next time I need to try their milk tea, I've been meaning to try it and saw that they offer a combo deal with a spicy ahi bowl. read more

Hou Fish Market - Spicy ahi, seared garlic salmon - Poke Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Got the seared salmon bowl and nan let me just say that it is unlike anything I ever tasted before! Truly unique and amazing! If u like cooked salmon and poke, it's a perfect combination of the two and the sauce is creamy and savory. Definitely would get it again! 5 stars! I also got the spicy tuna and milk tea boba $20 combo. I believe the $20 combo only applies to just those two combined. But I will say both were above average for their category and for the price, I wouldnt mind getting it again. There's plenty of seating inside and outside and you can park in the back where the storage parking lot is. Love the place and will definitely come again :) read more

Loved it from beginning to end, and I can't wait to come back again very soon! Mahalo nui loa! read more

Ambience is simple but food is packed with flavor and very good quality and very fresh! The Sukiyaki udon was flavorful and rich without being greasy-beef were tender and udon noodles were cooked just right-bouncy. Good value! The aloha bowl-very fresh salmon and tuna, and rice was cooked well too, the only thing is i wish it had more fish. Passionfruit green tea was very refreshing. Passion fruit tasted good without tasting artificial, and had floral notes too and citrusy because of the lime slices. Service was fast! Parking at Home Depot area. read more

We visited Hou Fish Market on a whim since we were in the area, and I was surprised to see the huge variety of poke bowls, sushi, sashimi and udon. We got the Hou Melody Bowl, Rainbow Roll and Torched Salmon Bowl. I really liked the torched salmon, because of all the charred flavors and fattiness of the salmon pieces. The Hou Melody Bowl had way too much shoyu that it was practically drowning in it, and the Rainbow Roll was okay, nothing special there's a few tables inside and outside, but since it's a little sketchy outside I'd suggest eating inside or taking it to go. You can park at the Self Storage parking right behind the shop. read more

This place has become my go-to for a quick and easy dinner. The workers here are friendly and there's something on the menu for everyone. They have poke bowls, salads, teriyaki bowls, udon, and more. I tried a couple of different things but I keep going back to their seared salmon bowl. I'm usually a spicy ahi girl but their salmon is so tasty and fresh. They even have a variety of different drinks. I only tried their mango smoothie so far and it is so yummy! There's a bunch of parking in the lot but it's close enough to me where I can simply walk. I can't wait for my next bowl :) read more

Where can you get a sashimi platter without reservations on New Years Eve? That's right, nowhere...except here! Thank goodness not too many people know about this place yet because I was able to order a sashimi platter with 27 pieces (see pic) over the phone on New Years Eve for $52.95 Better quality than Kozo, Aloha Sushi and other similar "fast food" sushi places. I also ordered the nigiri combo, udon set, and teriyaki chicken bowl too. Great place to grab quick meals. Online ordering wasn't working so I had to call to place the order. I would order again from here for my next party. read more

Hou Fish Market offers an extensive menu of salads, fish bowls, maki rolls, nigiri, udon, and platter meals - they also have boba available. We came here to grab a quick lunch, ordering a Mix Hamachi Deluxe Bowl, a Sashimi Deluxe Bowl, and a Hou Fish Platter that came with 32 pieces. While the portions are generous, the fish was just okay - it could have been more fresh, as some had a fishy taste/odor to them. Staff were friendly, and the ambiance inside is super casual. +not-so-fresh fish read more

Clean, new-ish place with lots of parking, lots of glass which is helpful since they are in a bit of a dark corner under the Public Storage building. Had a hard time finding the place. Park in in lot for the big Public Storage building off Kapiolani across from McKinley High School. Go around the right side of the building, past the AT&T store and it's in the corner. Friendly service. English is not their mother tongue. Poke is good quality. Price is about average. read more

Reasonably priced and decent poke spot in Kakaako. My favorite is their garlic salmon, hamachi, tuna, ebi nigiri set (2 pcs of each for $15) - the fish is all slightly seared and some pieces are topped with a glaze or mayo. Love the contrast of the warm tops with the room temp sushi rice beneath. Definitely a nice change of pace from the usual poke over rice if you're looking for something a little different. The udon was disappointing, the broth was so light it was nearly tasteless, but the noodles cooked well. Would def pass on the udon next time. Service is good but can be a little slow during peak times so would call ahead if you can, they run a busy takeout side. They also seem to do a lot of large platters for parties and offer specials/discounts on their website. read more

Delicious and good quality sushi for a casual fast kine setting!! We tried the deluxe salmon and spicy ahi bowl (added seaweed salad for $2). It comes with crab salad and avocado. Tamago nigiri is hubby's fav so he had to get that (said it was good). The spicy ahi was really good quality fish- melts in your mouth and not covered in overpowering sauce and mayo. Salmon was fatty and fresh. Spicy ahi inari we're also yummy! BYOB. Dog friendly. Parking galore. Really nice service and they make your order fresh.

The prices were very reasonable. It's a good stop to get your sashimi fix at a good price point. The staff were friendly too and the food came out quickly. There were tables inside and a few outside too if you want some fresh air. Their menu was quite extensive for a small shop like this. They got nigiris, rolls and soup noodles too!

First time here. My wife had a hamachi poke salad ($17.95) and I had a salmon poke salad ($16.95) with optional crab salad ($2). They came with avocados and a sesame dressing. The portions were very generous and tasted extremely fresh and delicious at a very reasonable price. Plenty of free parking in the back behind the Public Storage building. Very small restaurant with a few tables inside and outside, nothing fancy but comfortable. Order at the front counter. The workers were very courteous and helpful. Didn't see a restroom.
