This is my go-to poke spot whenever I'm on the North Shore in Haleiwa. The poke is consistent and…read morealways tastes fresh. If you like lots of toppings on your poke, this is the place for you! I got the two-choice poke bowl and my sis got the same. If you don't want the crab salad, they will let you choose three toppings instead of two. The Okinawan sweet potato is one of my favorite toppings! This place can get pretty busy, so be ready with your order when you get to the front of the line. The staff is usually a little abrupt when you order... not rude, just not overly friendly either. There's indoor seating, and parking is available in the back.

They were extremely busy. But the upside is that they have a private parking in the back. In addition to poke bowls, they have seafood plates, burgers, and local plates. Lots of options here for the entire family. This place is small but there's seating on their porch and inside where there's AC. If you're in the area. It's a must stop!

Definitely want to come back for another poke bowl fix n' try out their Filipino food!

I tried calling, but no answer. Luckily, we were nearby and found another good local spot, but we had our mind set on this place. We were leaving on Thursday, so I called ahead to make sure they were open before heading back. Good thing--they were open, and we were able to try some amazing food. It wasn't too busy, but they were already sold out of a few things by noon. We ordered the BBQ chicken quesadillas and a Brazilian lemonade. While waiting for our food, we sat in the covered seating area. It rained off and on, but it eventually stopped, and we stayed dry. Our food took about 15 minutes to be ready, and when it came out, it was super fresh and hot. We enjoyed every bite. It came with black beans and rice, and the Brazilian lemonade was light and super refreshing. Everything was delicious. We would definitely come back again! If you're around, you should check them out.

The flavors felt much more elevated than I expected from a beachside restaurant. Everything tasted thoughtfully prepared, and it genuinely felt like there was a real chef working in the kitchen rather than just standard bar food. The service was excellent and very attentive and the indoor-outdoor seating ambience with the ocean across the street was amazing. Even with the limited menu, I would happily come back to try the dinner offerings. Definitely a great spot to stop if you're in Haleiwa and looking for something a little more elevated.

Skip the poke here! I know, I know, those are fighting words in Hawaii and probably not the opening…read moreyou expected for a four-star review. And it's not to say that I didn't like the poke bowl I had at Beach House. (I mean, what's not to love about about digging into some fresh ahi when you're literally feet away from the beach?) It's just that I had the otherworldly experience of eating from Foodland's poke bar the night prior to my lunch here and I couldn't help comparing it to the legendary Foodland. That said, the poke was still delicious and its runner-up status didn't distract from the rest of my meal. The spicy ahi wonton was a standout starter -- the shallot, scallion, tobiko, and chili aioli approach they have for the ahi here works better for the fish than their "beach house special poke sauce" in my opinion. Top it all off with a plantation iced tea: an island version of the Arnold Palmer that replaces the customary lemonade with tropical pineapple juice. We came in around 2:30 pm so we essentially had the dining room to ourselves after the lunch rush, if you don't count the cute zebra dove bird that walked around below the table halfway into our meal, trying to see if there were any stray crumbs it could peck at. Alas, we had deemed the food too good.

Beyond their similar naming convention, and despite the obvious lack of rides, characters, industry, movies, TV shows, cartoons, size, and so much more, it's because this place is just as magical! And, to be honest, with how much much less it costs to come here, a big part of me (and my wallet) leaves even happier! Compared to some of the other Foodlands I've been to on Oahu, this one might be one of the oldest (the building feels old), but I've been to this location the most. Every time we head up towards the North Shore, it almost always includes a stop here. Sometimes it's just to grab some drinks and/or snacks for the drive, but it's usually to pick up lunch to bring with us to the beach. Either way, whatever I end up buying here always includes their many varieties of poke! Whether you prefer yours with tuna, salmon, or hamachi (or one of their many other seafood choices), spicy or mild, or with a classic sort of shoyu/ponzu sauce or with some mayo mixed in, Foodland's display cases are bound to have at least one or two types that will pique your tastebuds. For me, my usual go-to picks are their Furikake Salmon, Wasabi with Salmon, Limu Ahi, and Hawaiian Style Ahi, but regardless of what I end up getting, each time I've been here, every poke I've had has always been so fresh and delicious! If poke/poke bowls aren't your thing, there's also a solid selection of hot foods to choose from, including hot bowls and musubis, but I can't say I'm familiar with any of them (#teampoke). As for the rest of the market (shockingly, they sell other stuff), their shelves and freezers has all of the staples you could need, as well as some local offerings. Given how the vast majority of things are shipped into Hawaii, prices are obviously higher than what you'd see on the mainland, but I can't say how it compares to other markets on the island, like Safeway, Whole Foods, or H-Mart. Along with their much beloved poke (just like the rides at Disneyland, the poke counter will typically have a line, though it moves significantly faster), the other thing my friends and I tend to leave with is some of Foodland's merch (just like at Disneyland...). More specifically, their musubi, pineapple, and poke tote/grocery bags, whether for ourselves or to bring back as souvenirs. After all, how else are we going to carry all of that poke back to the car? Can't wait to come back the next time I'm on the island!

This spot came highly recommended by a co-worker and now I see why. There are two entrances (one from the parking lot and another from the street side), and the setup is casual and welcoming with both outdoor and indoor seating. I got there just before the rush, which worked out perfectly because I was able to snag a seat inside before the place filled up. Ordering is quick and easy thanks to their tablet system. It was super efficient, especially when things get busy. My son joined me, and we decided to go all in with a 2-combo poke bowl featuring spicy garlic and spicy mayo. I chose a mix of ahi and salmon and added avocado (for an extra charge, but absolutely worth it). Every bite was incredibly fresh, and the salmon in particular just melted in my mouth. The bowl was nicely rounded out with salad and rice underneath: simple, satisfying, and done right. My son went with the katsu curry rice, and of course I had to try a bite. It was hearty, comforting, and full of that rich Japanese-style curry flavor that never misses. He also grabbed a spam hand roll, which he gave a big thumbs up. The only minor downside was a few flies making their way in from outside, but the staff was quick to shut the door, which helped. It really didn't take away from the experience much as I was too busy enjoying my poke. Overall, we left full, happy, and glad we made the trek out to Haleiwa. Supporting local spots like this feels even more important, especially after the recent Kona Lows. Fresh food, great flavors, and a laid-back vibe. Definitely a place I'd come back to again.
