Came here on a Monday afternoon and it wasn't too busy. This has the best poke on the island. My wife and I scarfed it down after a long day at the beach. The ginger fried chicken and ginger fried shrimp were straight gas. Worth to add it on the side. Not really an ambience since it's a quick in and out spot with no dining area. Just a quick convenient store to grab lunch. Pricing was really good. Would easily come back. read more

Food 8/10 I had the beef stew bowl and it was good but not great. We also ordered their poke and that was good. Service 6/10 The lady in the front was rude and was annoyed that I didn't know what I wanted despite literally just walking in the door and still checking out what was available. Ambiance: 6/10 A place that is meant to be in and out. There is no space to move. read more

Amazing Poke Bowls! The place is very homey and the workers are amazing and super helpful. They were patient and made my overall experience a great one. Place reminds me of Taniokas on Oahu. Try their poke. You wont regret it! Will definitely come back when on Kauai. read more

Konohiki Seafoods - Spicy Ahi Bowl with Shrimp Tempura - Seafood Near Me - Lihue, Hawaii

Konohiki Seafood was a NONNEGOTIABLE stop before leaving Kauai and wow... it absolutely lived up to the hype. There's a reason this place has sooo many awards hanging all over the walls We got poke bowls, ginger fried chicken, a bunch of different inari, and every single thing was BOMB. Super fresh, flavorful, and one of those spots where you immediately start planning what you'd order next time. Honestly loved everything about this place...the food, the vibe, all of it. If you're visiting the island, you HAVE to make a stop here. read more

Poke here was amazing! I saw someone on social media that said that it is very similar if not better than Foodland which got me to visit this place. I ordered the poke bowl with spicy ahi which is what they recommended and I was would rate it a 10/10. My boyfriend ordered the chicken plate since he does not eat fish and he said that is was just missing a good sauce. The people operating the place were very kind and efficient. And the space was small and there are no places to sit but you can easily go to your car or head over to the nearest beach and enjoy your meal. read more

I go out of my way to get food at Konohiki Seafood. The selection is good and the seafood has been fresh. I love the scallops, muscles, lomi lomi salmon, the shrimp and crab spicy poke, the seaweed salad, the potato mac salad, the kimchi cucumbers and fresh rice. I usually get a bunch of individual containers and take it home for the family to devour. Everyone loves it. One things to note is that there is no where to sit and everything is to go. Just want to set an accurate expectation that this is not a "restaurant." Think of it more like an efficient take out place with good food. Bring cash if you want to tip because there is no tipping option on credit card payments. read more

Konohiki Seafoods - They are reopening on Jan 18, 2026. - Seafood Near Me - Lihue, Hawaii

Great place for poke. A hole in the wall, line out the door. Take out only. Ordered hamachi poke, spicy ahi poke, spicy kimchi shrimp poke , fried ginger chicken and calamari. Fried ginger chicken delicious but if you are on the fence on ginger do not get this! If you like ginger this chicken is for you! Great price. Fresh fish. Not a place to take a date but a great place to pick up take out for a picnic! read more

This is a grab and go spot. There's no indoor seating. It's more like a small market. There's plenty of bottled drink choices. The lines move quickly. There's a big parking lot right in front (watch out for the parking lot chickens). Everything is full of flavor. Love that they have poke for me, but also hot food options for the kiddos as well. This was our first time here and won't be our last. read more

Some of the best poke on the island. There was a small line inside but it moves fast. I got a quarter pound each of spicy ahi and ahi with onion, along with a couple plain inari. All of the food was so delicious! Perfect lunch for a beach or pool day. read more

Service was great! The aunty answered all our questions and got our order together with no mistakes! They have a lot of options! A classic Hawaii convenience store with a little bit of everything! Ordered a poke bowl, laulau, fried ginger chicken, fried ginger shrimp, and some other random items. The laulau I would skip. Dried out leaves and tasted reheated. Overall a 2/5... The ginger chicken has bones just an fyi. This was okay but a lot of the pieces we had were straight bones. 3/5 The ginger shrimp were good! Nice crunch and great flavor. 4/5 The poke bowl the wife said was ok. Nothing special and she said the price was kinda high. 3/5 Overall a good spot to come before the beach to get some snacks or a quick bite. read more

My favorite poke on the island! There is nothing like it. My go to order is their Toridon plate with spicy ahi, fried chicken, and mac salad. Gotta get there early to grab one of their haupia pies - you won't regret it! For quick snack, gotta get a few inari butter bombs (all of them are tasty). Aunteh will take care of ya, shootz read more

Konohiki Seafoods is pretty much a must for me whenever I land in Lihue. It's super close to the airport, so I usually stop here right after landing before heading out. It's a small spot with no seating, so everything is to go. I really like the freshness and variety of their poke and rice plate options, but honestly one of my favorite things is checking out their specials. They had this dynamite/spicy ahi one before (can't remember the name) that actually had some really good kick to it. It can be a bit pricey, but I still keep coming back because the food is consistently good and the location is just too convenient. At this point, it's part of the Kauai routine for me. read more

It does not get any more fresh than Konohiki. This is a no frills place frequented by locals and it's easily a 11/10. Lots of variety and everything I tried (two different flavors of tuna, salmon and hamachi), are absolutely amazing. I ate this every day on my week long trip and still am very satisfied every single time. read more

Amazing! I love that the best poke places are next to a laundromat! Seriously everything here was really good. They let us try pretty much everything they had in the case and gave us recommendations of their fav ones. We ended up getting the spicy tuna and the octopus. Missing it already!

Small market located in a plaza so easy parking available. I got their salmon poke and furikake ahi and both were so fresh and good! I think out of these two I preferred the salmon, super simple well flavored and delicious! Could taste the freshness of the salmon. So good I also tried their ginger shrimp inari. This was surprisingly one of my favorites! So flavorful and good. Killed it in two bites lol Their seaweed salad was a nice side to balance out this delicious meal! Will come again! read more

The garlic fried chicken was good! The glaze is sweet so hubby wished it had a little more salt to balance out the sweet, but I liked it. Hubby got the poke bowl with spicy ahi - the fish portion was generous. Good fish to rice ratio. He would get it again! Not too much mayo. Mildly spicy but in a good way. We also got the regular salad- it did its job, providing veggies to balance out the rest of our meal. read more

Konohiki was the first poke place we visited during our trip and I had some pretty high expectations. They not only serve poke but you can also find fried food, smoked fish and stuffed inaris. Since we were visiting, we ordered a lot so we could try as much as we could. The shop itself is pretty small and it's very cramped inside. It also serves as a small market so there's snacks stacked up in boxes in the middle of the room. There's a sign on the door that says they allow 10 people max inside so you'll likely see a line forming outside. It might look busy but it's just because they don't want to crowd the place. There's also no place to eat so people will either go to their cars or take it to-go. Poke: We ordered by the pound and chose the Ahi Shoyu and Spicy Ahi Poke. The Spicy Ahi wasn't spicy at all, just creamy. Ahi Shoyu was sweet, kind of like a bulgolgi marinade. I was definitely expecting more, being in Hawaii. The fish was fresh but I thought the flavors were a little lacking. It was also kind of expensive too. Smoked Salmon Belly: This looked so good that I had to get it. I'm a huge fan of salmon belly because of how soft and "melt in your mouth" the meat is. Their smoked salmon belly reminded me of candied ham but fattier because it's salmon belly. Inari: They had a whole display stacked with different kinds of stuffed inaris. These are pockets of tofu skin filled with rice and various seafood and toppings. I tried the Butter Ball, which had shrimp and crab butter aioli, and the Kaiona Ball, which had ahi and imitation crab. Both were pretty good with sizable chunks of either shrimp or ahi. Chinese Plate: It seemed like they were famous for the ginger fried chicken so we ordered a plate that came with 2 pieces, along with spare ribs, fried shrimp, rice, and potato salad. The potato salad was more like a mac salad but with spaghetti. The two fried shrimps were crispy but tiny. The stewed spare ribs were really tender and tasted like adobo but a lot sweeter. The chicken was very crispy and juicy but we had a piece that didn't seem completely cooked through. I also didn't really taste any ginger too. This, on top of everything else we ordered, was a lot and looking back now, we should've just ordered the fried chicken by itself to try. Overall, a good meal but I had higher expectations and nothing really stood out. But considering the options on the island, this is as good as it gets. read more

This place was recommended to us by a local and it did not disappoint. I got an Aji tuna Poké bowl and it was amazing. They also have these things called sushi sushi bombs that I recommend if you stop in this place. By looking on a map as a tour, she would not think this place is good, but I'll tell you it is Amazing definitely worth a stop in after a long hike or a day on the island. On top of that, they also have fried chicken! read more

Oh Konohiki.. If you come here for one thing.. make it the garlic fried chicken. Holy moly. Like give me 10 pounds of that to go. I wish we'd stopped by before our flight home and taken some to eat on the plane. So here's my tip to you.. do that. It really is a local spot and a true hidden gem. The plate lunch we ordered was the Chinese and that was loaded and didn't skimp out on portions. The service is quick so make sure you know what you want to order. Inside it's not so spacious so the line def can go out the door. Parking is not hard to get so don't worry about that. Worry that they may run out of ginger fried chicken and you'll never get to try such an addicting flavor. read more

Always return home to visit Family & always make it a point to stop here after arriving on the island. But was a bit disappointed. The marinated chicken was not as tasty as before. Picked up some Hamachi & spicy Ahi poke however the Hamachi poke was lacking taste or something. It wasn't that busy but felt rushed to make our food selections. Customer service was mediocre. Some of the staff could really express more patience & better customer service. Just a bit disappointing. read more

Konohiki was our first main food stop since it's located by the airport as well as where we were staying. We came after a hike, so our stomachs were ready! I ordered the 2 choice poke bowl with the following: -Maiya Fiya: Creamy, spicy Ahi poke. I enjoyed this one a lot and was initially torn between ordering this or the Spicy Ahi, but I tried my friend's Spicy Ahi and I'd say both are good. Go with the Maiya Fiya if you want more creaminess and a little more of a kick. -Salmon Poke: Salmon is always my fish of choice, but sadly I didn't enjoy this one. It tasted a little off, and they also only gave me maybe 4-5 pieces in my bowl, which was maybe for the best. I feel like maybe we came on an off day for the salmon, because all my friends who ordered it felt the same way. I was originally planning on ordering inari to try, but the line/ordering process moves so quickly that I totally forgot since they immediately rang me up after my bowl came out. Kind of sad I missed out since my friends who ordered inari all said it was delicious. Overall, decent poke option and they have a variety of plates too if raw fish isn't your thing. read more

Solid place to start or end your trip to Kauai. Located 5min from the endpoint. Popular place for locals with a variety of poke and other Hawaiian specialties. Ordered the chicken and shrimp plate. They specialize in a ginger fried batter that was slightly sweet and super tasty. Would order again. Poke: Salmon and hamachi. Fish was very fresh and rice came out warm. Very solid overall. Overall, had a great food experience and wouldn't hesitate to come back! read more

Came by around 2 p.m. on a Thursday after a canceled helicopter tour. The place was empty when we walked in but packed by the time we left -- clearly a popular stop. The interior is small jam packed with food and shelves. There's just enough room for people to form a line from the door to the checkout. Ordered some poke, salmon sashimi, some fried foods, and a couple of snacks for dessert. Ordering is super easy: just point at what you want, say how much, and pay at the end. The staff and even other customers were all really friendly, which made the experience even better. Food-wise: the seafood was all super fresh and tasty. The salmon sashimi was a huge portion for $12.50 -- great value. The calamari was a little soggy but still flavorful. The oysters were crunchy, maybe a bit too much breading for my taste. Overall, it's a great spot for fresh poke in Kauai. I will definitely be back. read more

Lots of our friends told us about this place so we decided to stop by. Visited this place on a random Tuesday afternoon and it was pretty busy since it was during the lunch rush (even with the rush, there was enough parking). It's a smaller place and no seating inside. You enter and there's a middle table with prepped food, then you'll see a menu up top and then you're surrounded by two big food cases. One with poke and the other with hot food. There were so many options and I couldn't make up my mind so I had the husband choose. I did grab two spam musubi for the plane ride home and man, it was simple and it had a good ratio of rice to spam. We ordered the Chinese plate - fried chicken, fried shrimp, rice, Mac salad and a meat stew (not sure if it was pork or beef but I think it was pork). The fired items were fried so well. It was crispy and crunchy and not salty at all. The meat stew was sweet and soy salty but not salty, it was a great balance of soy flavor and a bit of sweetness. It went well with the rice and the meat was fall off the bone good. We also ordered a pork lau lau. It was a little fatty but you know what, we still enjoyed it and definitely eat it with rice to cut the richness of the dish. We also ordered the salmon poke. It was large chunks of fish and it was refreshing to have since there were a lot of crunchy items on our lunch menu. We also ordered the roast pork. It was so flavorful, and so so crunchy. Not too fatty at all. They gave a sauce on the side but it really wasn't needed at all. Overall, we would definitely come back since there's so many more things to try. Can't tell you how the price is because the hubs paid for it. Again, I need to go back to try other items. Nom nom! read more

4.5 Stars. I ordered a crab sushi roll and it tasted amazing. I'm still thinking about it and telling others how good it was! I will go back for sure. I took off half a star due to the stores low ambience. But hey, you walk in when the line moves forward. You order, they provide you with food, pay and leave clutching deliciousness in hand.

often long lines unless you arrive before 11am but the line always move quickly. I've been 3 times over 4 years and the quality is consistent. the poke is fresh and has a great varity, ginger chicken delish. we planned to go to Konohiki the very next morning after arriving but they were closed for 5 days. no worries, we arranged our schedule to be there on Thursday. We even returned the morning of our flight home to pick up poke bowls and sushi rolls to take on the plane. read more

This was the first of many poke places that we ended up stopping by on our trip to Kauai. It's basically on the way North from Lihue to anywhere, hahaha. We ended up getting 4 different poke's. Ordering was simple enough. It was traditional counter-style service, and it worked fantastically. We got a yellowtail, a spicy mayo ahi, standard ahi, and a shoyu salmon. Right off the bat, the standard ahi was good, but I thought the texture would be a tad more rich and firm. The give and chew was kind of light. The spicy mayo ahi was better in texture; it's hard to mess that up, but it was truly tasty. The salmon texture was perfect, even if the sauce was a little overwhelming in flavor and salt. The yellowtail, however, was the best thing there. The hamachi flavor was essentially amplified by that sesame oil and salt. Just a great delicious bowl of poke all around. Yummy yummy for sure! Maybe it was an off day, because some of this stuff felt like it could be really promising, and I still really enjoyed it, but I was just hoping for a tad more. read more

Good and fresh poke, had it as our first meal in Kauai for lunch and last meal for dinner before we left.

Come here early for best selection of daily fresh fish. So good I tried to come back twice but they had already closed for the day about 45min early likely from selling out. read more

The poke was so fresh and delicious here that we actually came back to get another bowl before the airport. This is a no frills spot- when the fish is that fresh, you don't need a lot of razzle dazzle in the bowl. We got the 2 fish poke bowl- I got the salmon and spicy ahi and it was soooo good! They have this red seaweed mixed in with green onions. I could 4 bowls- it was soooo good! Service is quick inside so be prepared. There's no seating- but you can chill in the parking lot and eat in your car. They have a deli fridge with tons of drink options. We snagged some of their local banana bread for the airport wait, and it was good- I wish I had a coffee to go with it. This was such a good spot on my trip to Kauai and I highly recommend a visit for a fantastic meal!! read more
