    The parking is a bit tight, and there's no seating, but they have a large patio for you to enjoy your poke. I ordered the Maui onion small bowl with the cucumber kimchi and seaweed salad; all of which was really good. I was surprised all the bowl sizes come in the same container. We also got a Mac salad which was really good and light, but very small. My husband also got a musubi which he liked but said it was a bit dry as it had been sitting out.

    Ambiance: it's located near highway intersections, very crowded during rush hours, you place the order at one side of the counter, and pickup your order and pay at the other side of counter Service: it's essentially a takeout only place, only a few bench seats outside the front door Food: they have variety of flavors to choose from, and you customize your own bowl Small Poke Bowl - **** Maui Onion Seaweed Ahi Poke on top of sushi rice, with two sides of Ocean Salad and Cucumber Namasu, toppings of Spicy Aioli and Furikake, very fresh fish, recommend Price: small portions and affordable prices, expect $20 per person

    If you're in Poipu, the Koloa Fish Market is the go-to spot for some of the best poke in the area. Be sure to arrive early because this place gets busy. Like most popular poke shops, it's best to know what you want before you get to the counter, or you might feel a little rushed. The line can get long, but it moves quickly. There are plenty of poke options to choose from, and the Kalua pork is another must-try. Parking can be a bit tricky, so be prepared to circle or wait for a spot. There are covered outdoor tables where you can enjoy your meal. The staff is friendly, and it's a good idea to bring cash.

    Pork Lau Lau, Long Rice, Poi and it was good.

    Good stuff. The pork lau lau was almost as good as grandpa's A few types of poke. All were good. Hard to mess up Musabi, that was good too. It was all good. We would definitely go back. Service was fast and with a smile. I would say there is much ambiance. It's a quick order counter. But a small porch to stand, eat and people watch for a moment. Small parking area in back. If you can park on the street. Do so. It will be easier.

    We mainly wanted yo check out this place because of their dessert options. This place is mainly known for their poke bowls. However, there was not a vegetarian option for us to try so we simply went with the dessert. We got their Ube Haupia. This is a traditional Hawaiian dessert made out of coconut milk and starch. It looks like a jelly and has a very creamy texture. Tasted yummy as well! Must try! Ambience and service was good as well.

    This has got to be one of the best pokes I've had. We got the furikake soy salmon and wasabi cream ahi (locally-caught). The fish tasted great -- fresh, not gamey, and the sauce/seasoning is just the perfect amount. It does busy around lunch... Well actually from when they open till closing.

    The market opens at 10am 5 days a week, closed Sunday and Thursday. We arrived at about 10:30am on a Tuesday. We ordered at one counter and pay and picked up when your name is called. The market looked and smelled clean. The employees were friendly and helpful. We ordered a pound of octopus and a half pound of salmon poke. This is a great portable meal for the beach which we did. The food was fresh tasting and flavorful. Looking forward to returning for some ahi poke and kimchi. Highly recommended!

    The food was pretty good. I got a quarter pound each of the spicy ahi and Maui onion, the flavors were great for each but a tad salty, so definitely would recommend getting it as a poke bowl so the rice can cut through it. Also a relatively small parking lot, so be considerate of the amount of time you're spending here! Go enjoy your food at a beach or park :)

    My favorite poke spot in Kauai! Loved the spicy ahi and the cucumber namasu with the sushi rice. Also got the lau lau plate and the meat was very tender. Popular place but the line went quickly.

    Must try! Love the smoked Marlin and the rest of the poke is fresh! Service is quick and efficient. Just a downside, no seating but I prefer standing at the patio or sitting under the acacia trees!!

    Poke bowls

    Stopped here for lunch on our way back to our hotel and this was a hidden gem for sure. Apparently this spot is one for the locals and we can see why!! The staff is quick, happy to help, and loves what they do. You order at the counter, can pick up homemade desserts, drinks, etc while you wait for your food and pay once it's ready. We ordered 1 small poke bowl (1 poke - tuna) and 1 medium bowl (2 types of poke - tuna & salmon) with each coming with I believe it was 2 or 3 sides. We got the ocean salad, edamame, and cucumber kim chee. Everything was delish and we ate it on the porch out front, dipping the chips into the poke. Cute little spot that is clean, has the freshest fish/poke, and great staff!!

    Korean Ahi Poke
    Luis M.

    This was a small joint with no place inside to sit. The vibe was definitely reminiscent of a fish market. You walk in and the first thing you see is a display case with all of their poke offerings. On opposite ends of the display case is where you place your order, and where you pay and pick up your order. It was pretty busy inside with people's random chatter as well as others putting their orders in and paying. They had a line that was almost out the door but it moved very quickly. Workers weren't the most friendly/welcoming people I met, but it didn't ruin the experience or anything. All in all this place probably had the cleanest, most fresh poke that I got to try during my Hawaii vacation. We opted for the Korean Ahi Poke, and that came with white rice, edamame, cucumber namasu, and furikake. While the poke definitely tasted clean and fresh, it didn't pack the punch of flavor I was expecting. Overall, a 4/5 experience.

    Inedible ahi bites
    Michael M.

    I've been telling my buddies they haven't had good poke till they have it in Hawaii. Quality fish was below average as seen in my photo of uneaten inedible tough ahi. Got the maui Ahi and had no flavor. Warm ahi with no flavor and poor texture left me super disappointed. Flavors of sides and sauces were on point. Foodland (market) up on the north shore had the best poke I've ever had. Flavor and and quality of fish was unreal. And the portion for $11 bucks was outstanding.

    Is there a place to sit down and eat or is it to-go only? Also, saw a picture that there are no public restrooms...what about customers?

    There is no place to sit and eat. Some people eat in their cars or just take it to go. The food is really amazing so it's worth it. There's no public restrooms for customers.

    Any one know if they are going to be open for sure on Monday (Presidents' Day)?

    I just asked the cashier and she said yes they're open on Monday, 2/20

    Is there parking nearby?

    yes! they have a small private lot

    Is it still cash only?

    I paid CC no problem.

    Looks so delicious! Are there many gluten free options?

    All kinds of fish pair it with what you want.

The…read moreatmosphere was really nice, especially with the outdoor seating--it made for a relaxing place to enjoy the evening. I ordered the burger, while my wife went with the fried chicken bowl. My burger was just okay. It was advertised as a smash burger, but the patty didn't really have the crispy edges or texture I'd expect from one. On the other hand, my wife absolutely loved her fried chicken bowl and said it was packed with flavor. One of the highlights of our visit was the hospitality. We mentioned we were celebrating our honeymoon, and the owner (or who I believe was the owner) was incredibly friendly and even let us pick out a pastry to celebrate. That thoughtful gesture really made our visit memorable. Great service, good drinks, and a welcoming atmosphere made for an enjoyable experience overall.

    For a place called Living Foods you would expect to see more foods that are actually "living" (i.e…read more plants). Sadly however, they only have one single bowl that is vegan and 2 appetizers (hummus and taro). No vegan entree, and not even a salad that wouldn't require changes to be vegan. Since the bowl has taro too, you can skip the taro appetizer and you're left with a hummus where you get charged for extra crispy bread. While the food quality was good, it was very bland and uninspiring. On top of it all, they add an extra 3% charge for using a credit card. Service was impecable and Renee really went above and beyond but unfortunately there was not much she could work with given the very poorly crafted menu.

As with most restaurants in Kauai it open air environment and a view of ocean. A great place to watch games and a lively atmosphere. Happy hour is available daily from 3-6pm. Our waitress was very accommodating as she notified us that we could order our two drink minimum to qualify for the happy hour food specials before 6pm and she would serve later. Flashback price on chicken wing of $0.25 each, max 10 per person. We ordered 20 buffalo wings and fish tacos. They have a great selection of the local Kauai Brewing Company beers, another reason we want to try this place. We started we the pale ale and the Cook IPA. Cold, tasty and refreshing. We also tried the chicken IPA and Fonz IPA. All were great! Our favorite was the Cook IPA. The chicken wings had a nice heat level and were perfect accompanied by beer. The fish grilled tacos were fantastic. This will definitely be our go to place to watch a game and just a quick bite. Looking forward to returning. Highly recommended!

The first time we spent just over $100 for a family of 5, and last night we got out of there for $88. That is a feat in this part of town! The happy hour is unbeatable. $7 drinks and 25 cent wings. Note that you have to have minimum two drinks per person, but they don't have to be alcoholic--we got a cocktail as our first and soda water as the second. The cocktails are quite large, so you can still get the $7 price if you order a soda or sparkling water as your second drink. The waitress was super helpful and let us know that last night! We went for taco Tuesday yesterday and the tacos were $1 each! They were good--not insane but great for the price and hit the spot. The service is great and the food and drinks come out quickly despite being busy. The drinks are standard fare, nothing crazy delicious, but for the price it's great. The food is all yummy. We especially love their chicken wings! Home-fried and lots of meat. All of the dipping sauces are excellent too. We haven't had a bad dish here! Truly wonderful prices, good food, and great for the whole family.
