Wow, what a great find! The poke was really fresh, and the portion size was perfect. Everything tasted high quality, and you could tell a lot of care went into the ingredients. My favorite part was the sauce. It wasn't too salty or too sweet, and it paired really well with the fish. The restaurant was clean, the atmosphere was relaxed, and the staff were friendly and welcoming. Overall, a really enjoyable experience. I'll definitely be back the next time I'm in the mood for poke. read more

A small poke spot with a few chairs inside for you to sit at. The menu is simple and on the wall. Got a salmon poke small size just to check them out. Taste really fresh and it was good. The portion is also pretty good plus the service is nice. Overall a chill spot to come and have a simple bite. read more

Perfectly balanced. Love the sea asparagus and appreciate the salmon which is otherwise hard to get here.

Located right near the Hyatt Centric hotel and open pretty late, Kai Poke Waikiki was a pleasant surprise through its poke bowl that hit the spot after a long evening of activities. Service was pleasant and efficient in this bright, clean storefront. Ordering was easy for a custom poke bowl, and is basically choosing 1,2 or 3 scoops of poke, with the sides being preset and included seaweed salad, edamame, and sliced cucumbers. We also got the free optional fried garlic chips. The spicy ahi poke was creamy and tender, and the shoyu poke was well-seasoned with shoyu, ogo, onion, and sesame oil. There are a variety of other preset poke combination bowls, as well as sashimi and sushi choices. The size of the poke bowl was moderate for the price point, but overall, it was a good experience and Kai Poke fills a particular niche. read more

Kai Poke Waikiki - Regular 2 Poke Bowl with spicy ahi and shoyu poke (Dec 2025) - Poke Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Food (4/5): The poke bowl is solid and I like how you can add a bunch of veggies unlike other Hawaiian places which is mostly just the rice and fish. The seasoning on the fish wasn't my favorite but still good. Service (5/5): No issues with the service and the lady did a good job of quickly making our poke bowl. Ambiance (5/5): Chill poke shop vibes with decent amount of tables and chairs inside for seating. The island music is great for relaxing while eating. read more

Fast and casual spot (no line) for decent poke at a reasonable price! They had a variety of styles/sauces (mostly ahi and salmon, but also octopus for Hawaiian style) and the large bowl we got allows you to get 3 for $20 read more

I needed my poke fix while in Hawaii. This place was across the street from my stay, so it was so convenient. I ordered the small portion of Hawaiian and shoyu flavor, I think. It was soooo good I was tempted to get it again for dinner. It tasted very fresh and not fishy at all. I would recommend this place to anyone! read more

Kai Poke Waikiki - #Small 2 Fish Custom Bowl: salmon and tuna - Poke Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

For the price and the quality of the poke, it was underwhelming. The poke is expensive, yet the portions are small (one tiny scoop!), fish isn't as marinated as other poke shops, and I suspect the fish isn't fresh :( ... I got a small poke bowl ($16.99) which comes with two poke styles of your choice. Base choice of sushi rice, brown rice, and green salad. I chose the Hawaiian Ahi and California Ahi with sushi rice. You also get choices for a free side: I chose seaweed salad and crab mayo (paid additional $1.50 for this crab mayo). They also give you a free sauce on the side. Service is good and ambiance of the shop is cute. The fish here was just disappointing and doesn't compare to other poke shops. read more

Kai Poke Waikiki - Create your own poke - Poke Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Do you like a premium-quality poke bowl? Look no further. Service is amazing, food is tasty, my favorite poke place in Waikiki! My favorite is their spicy salmon, personally, I find it better than the spicy tuna as it is a bit fattier while the tuna feels a bit mushier. I typically add on avocado, crab mayo, tobiko, and cucumber. Kai, meaning ocean, really fits the theme for the poke bar with ocean waves decor. Gives it a very touristy feel but nonetheless a very beautiful interior design. Staff are very friendly and give decent portion sizes. I've been here on numerous occasions and some of the staff know me now and my go-to order! read more

Kai Poke Waikiki - Deluxe bowl with Kai Sushi Rice, 3 scoops of spicy salmon, cucumber with avocado, crab mayo, and tobiko add on - Poke Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Place was cute and clean. Poor was delicious. Their spicy mayo was spicier than I'm used to too but still good. I got eel sauce too so that tamed it down. I did the Hawaiian Ahi and Hawaiian salmon in my bowl. Yum. It's Hawaii so it was pricey but so is everything else. read more

3.5 stars Pro: the lady who got us our food was nice. There are a lot of toppings you can add. Conveniently located. Con: the portion was so skimpy. The price is steep, but the amount of fish you get is pretty mediocre. The fish is also not very seasoned, so it wasn't very good. Overall, it's just ok... there are many other places to get poke in Waikiki, so I wouldn't go back. read more

My bf and I walked from our hotel (Hilton village) to here one night because we were craving poke and didn't want to drive out. They have pretty good fish for the poke and they also offer a variety of inari (rice with toppings wrapped in sweet tofu skin). The inari were pretty good, I didn't get the combo, I just got salmon and eel.. the poke bowl was good too. Overall was decent but it is pricey as it's right in Waikiki. read more

Looking for something grab & go but is actually filling, healthy and most of all fresh?! Then this is it. Conveniently located besides Ross, there's plenty street parking as well as a parking structure shared with other businesses. Kai Poke offers a "create your own" poke bowl with plenty of choices and they give you the right amount of servings. They also offer açaí bowls and "Kai Chef Specials" if you aren't sure of what to choose. Since I don't eat raw (I know I know Boo!) I was able to "create my own bowl" by choosing Kai Rice, Garlic Shrimp, Ginger, Crab Mayo and Miso Soup! I can't get enough of their Kai Rice, I'm not sure if its the garlic or the sesame oil but it just really elevated the flavors of my bowl although I only have a few toppings. DO NOT forget to get their Pineapple Iced Tea! It comes with pineapple chunks (that I will surely copy at home). They also sell some resin/epoxy wave ocean artworks that is the same as their table. (Talk about those instagram food photos)--- and those table costs $800 each. Thank you so much for the efficient staff that keeps the line going. The chef came out and greeted us as well. Will definitely be a regular customer when I'm in the area. read more

I don't think I've encountered a bad poke place in Hawaii. Kai poke is no exception. I got a poke bowl with salmon as my fish. Delicious - I could eat poke bowls like Kai's for the rest of my life without getting tired of it. To add a cherry on top, Junbi matcha is downstairs if you need a drink to go with your poke bowl. read more

I picked up a roll from Waikiki Kai Poke and shared it with a friend. It was surprisingly rich and packed with protein, providing both nutrition and flavor. The flying fish roe and spicy sauce mayo seemed to offset the slightly oily texture of the roll nicely. read more

First time here for takeout during our recent Oahu visit. It was solid poke. Caveat - I'm from the mainland so their poke was still better than most places I can get regularly (thus 4 stars), but if I were just comparing to Hawaii it's probably average. Still, I enjoyed my bowl and the service was good. read more

They make it fresh in front of you (subway vibes). The spicy salmon was so delicious. The fried shrimp was good as well. Could probably skip on the teriyaki chicken. Anyways very good read more

This was a great place near my hotel (Outrigger Beachcomber Waikīkī -- that gets five stars, too! -- that I happened to find because the Ross Dress For Less was my tour pick-up spot and Kai Poke is right next-door, LOL. The girl behind the counter was very nice and I got a three-fish (octopus, Hawaiian ahi, spicy salmon) bowl to go. Seaweed salad is my jam, so I asked her to add a little bit more, which she was happy to do. The whole thing including tip was $24.50, and you'd be hard-pressed to find a seafood meal that fresh and good at that price anywhere else in Waikīkī! The next time I'm back, I will definitely hit up Kai Poke more often! read more

I ordered the Lemon Salmon, Hawaiian salmon, and Hawaiian Ahi mix Poke and it tasted so good! Super fresh fish and seasoning to the point. I also enjoy that you put on any type of toppings free. The staff was very hospitable, and open kitchen was immaculate, this fact made me have more confidence in the establishment. The sit down areas are abundant enough inside, much higher than what most of your average poke places would offer, and they are open late enough that I know I will be returning numerous times! read more

Kai Poke is a fantastic spot to enjoy fresh and flavorful poke bowls. They offer a Mini Poke for $12.99, which comes with one protein--my favorite being the lemon shoyu salmon. The combination of zesty lemon and savory shoyu with the fresh salmon is simply delightful but they don't have scallop or crab!!! I like the other poke place more in the Alomoana mall but, the location is conveniently close to all the action, making it a great choice for a quick and satisfying meal. Highly recommend giving it a try if you need a small bite to keep you going. read more

This poke spot is in downtown Waikiki on a boring side street but offers a healthy option for a fair price. There's a little bit of seating inside but I took it back to the hotel. The service is friendly and there are lots of options for bowls. I do prefer the poke at other spots in Honolulu but this is the best, low cost option in Waikiki. read more
