    The best poke bowl spot on the island! Reasonable prices, not so much parking tho! Lots of tables and super close to the beach. Very casual spot. Fish is super fresh! I can eat this everyday!

    Salmon Teriyaki

    Wait, this place was a highlight of my trip. As soon as we landed and checked into our Airbnb, we stopped by Maguro, and the line was basically non-existent. We made the mistake of ordering online via the QR code in front of the store because we thought it would be easier, but the worker told us it is much faster to order at the cashier since there is a 15-minute hold for online orders before they start making them. Originally, I had ordered something else online, only to realize they had the Teriyaki Salmon bowl in person but not online. The staff member kindly helped me change my order, which I really appreciated. And thank goodness I changed my order because the Teriyaki Salmon bowl was so good. The meat-to-rice ratio was perfect, and it was not too saucy. It was the perfect welcome meal and lunch I needed. Since we were a large group of nine, my other party members ordered different items, and their reviews slightly differed from mine, as they felt the rice-to-protein ratio was a bit unbalanced, with too much rice, but overall still good. There is limited outdoor seating if you are lucky enough to grab a table, and the shop itself is small.

    Our hotel happened to be next to this popular spot, so we were super excited to try it out. We stopped by for an early lunch and the line was really short. When we came back around 1 PM, the line had wrapped around the corner, so definitely recommend going during an off hour. We got an extra large spicy spicy special bowl to share. Generous amount of fish with nice cuts. The sauce was delicious and the seaweed salad, onion, cucumber, and edamame paired perfectly. Excellent poke; I would definitely come again! Total came out to $23.50 plus tax/tip.

    Had to really zoom in. A thin layer of poke.

    Not sure why folks are raving about this place. For $17, you get a whole lot of rice vs a balanced poke bowl. I prefer they charge more than skim out on the poke. Quality wise, the fish was decent and fresh. But again, nothing to rave about. I asked for sushi rice (vinegar rice) but they gave me plain white rice instead. :(

    Definitely will be coming here multiple times during my trip. Super fresh poke and customizable bowl. Highly recommended. The wait isn't bad and line moves fairly quick. Seating outside (:

    Maguro Spot was our first poke spot on our trip to Hawai'i and it was... fine. The store itself is pretty small, and the line stretches out the door and down the street. We came on a Wednesday around... 6-7pm and waited about 20 minutes to get to the front of the line. I thought it was really cool that they serve blue marlin. You don't see that at every poke shop in California! I liked it actually- it had a nice meaty texture and natural sweetness to it. I built my own poke bowl, so in addition to the blue marlin, I got salmon and tuna on a bed of white rice with ponzu and spicy mayo.  Now before my trip to Hawai'i, I've always looked at people's poke bowls from Hawai'i online and wondered why there were so much less toppings than what I was used to. If you get a poke bowl in California, typically toppings such as green onions, crispy onions, masago, seaweed salad, etc are free. Some places will charge you for a scoop of crab meat and avocado and some places have these free as well. But after coming to Hawai'i, I understood why. It's not because these toppings aren't available - it's because they charge you for absolutely everything! Want green onions? 75 cents. Seaweed salad? A dollar fifty. Tobiko? 2 dollars. Avocado? $2.50!. If I were to build a poke bowl at Maguro Spot the same way I would in California, it would probably cost me upwards of $30.  But instead of getting all the toppings I usually would, I settled on 3: seaweed salad, avocado, and tobiko. All things considered, I thought my bowl was decent but did not live up to my expectations. I will say that the rainbow sauce is really good. I tried a bite of my friend's bowl with the rainbow sauce on it and regretted not getting it. It's a mix of spicy mayo and teriyaki sauce, and it's sooo good. Sweet, spicy, and creamy. If I ever come back, I would get a bowl with that sauce, but I probably wouldn't. The line is long even on a weekday night, and I don't think you're getting the best bang for your buck here.

    I love this spot lol. The fish feels so FRESH! Definitely recommend the Marlin and Tuna. Only complaint I have is the rice to fish ratio felt so off and it was just heavy on the rice side. Service was quick and simple. Sat outside on the benches next to the shop and it was fine!

    A small little corner spot for really fresh poke. We got the tuna poke with spicy shoyu based and the salmon with spicy mayo based. It was so fresh and fatty. Fast service and they also have other snacks like other onigiris. You can get it just poke alone or with a bowl of rice. I love eating mine with shrimp chips so I just got it alone. It's the best snack to bring to the beach!!

    Built my own poke bowl with tuna, blue marlin, wasabi shoyu, and sea grapes -- and it was amazing! The fish was fresh and tender, the wasabi added a nice kick, and the sea grapes were surprisingly fun with no fishy taste. My friends' bowls were tasty too, but some add-ons like ikura ($4) and avocado ($2.50) felt a bit skimpy for the price. Overall, great experience! I'll definitely get sea grapes again! Simple builds are worth it; extra toppings aren't necessary. :)

    Great service. The guy upfront was super cool and helpful. Small little spot for just grab and go. If you're dropped off make sure you go around that sign to the left and that's where the line starts. After I ordered I directed people to the line and the worker thanked me and showed appreciation he was cool. Solid poke bowl the rice was pretty warm which was. A surprise.. kinda wish it was room temp as it heated the fish a bit. Very very fresh fish.. for a decently affordable price. I'd say it's better than Foodland but honestly not by a ton. It def hit the spot. The ask what fishes you want and what sauces and they mix it together. I got the largest one and smashed it all in one sitting I'd rate it a solid 8.6/10 wasn't the best bowl I've ever had but was very very good I would go back to try more.

    Spicy Shoyu w Salmon and Blue Marlin

    We visited at an off-hour around 4pm, hoping the line won't be too crazy, but there was still a line haha. Not too bad though, we maybe waited 15mins? It was moving at a good pace at least. Looking at their menu, it honestly looks kind of overwhelming cause they offer so many things and many types of fishes, sauces, styles, etc. We ended up choosing the Spicy Shoyu with Salmon & Blue Marlin. Overall, the fish was pretty nice! Price were pretty good too for Hawaii. Although, I couldn't really tell the difference between having the Salmon and the Blue Marlin, so they were kinda the same to me. It was a good poke snack to have. The store itself is rather very small, but there are plenty of shared benches right outside of it. It is kind of dirty and not as maintained, but still not bad.

    Fish was fresh and reasonably priced! Wish the sauce was just a tad thicker and the meat a little more salted - the line was out the door onto the street! Came here by recommendation from someone who frequents Hawaii and a local as well. Enjoyed the ample outdoor seating, and so close to Waikiki beach! Service was great, we were served with all smiles and a friendly aloha!

    I love the fish quality and sauce but I bought two salmon poke and most of the salmon pieces had skin still attached. If I'm paying that much for poke, I don't really want to see the scaly skin on it...

    I loved this place. We came looking for it and followed the signs for the beach entrance. Don't do…read morethat LOL. It's easier to just enter through the front of the Outrigger Hotel. When you come through the beach, you have the option of dining at the bar, which seems to be a totally different experience. The bar serves burgers and other bar foods, and we wanted something a little less casual. After entering through the bar, we ended up having to go to the desk inside. They added my name and took down my phone number to text when the table is ready. This place is huge. There is indoor seating with lots of grass "skirt" trim around some of the ceiling and bars, and the upholstery of the dining chairs are different colorful aloha prints. On the deck there are think torches and umbrellas and string lights. On the level just a few steps down are more umbrella tables and some musicians playing Hawaiian music. All around are photos of the famous Olympic champion, surgery, and actor Duke Kahanamoku. Much to my surprise, as I was looking around while waiting for a table, a girl asked if I was Denise. They didn't text me; rather, they jot down a brief description so they can just look around and find you. She sat us on the beach deck. Our server was fantastic, so friendly with lots of explanations and recommendations. They use an ordering system and it's fun like a week liked machine. Hubby's beer was delivered to our table before our server even walked away! We both ordered the teriyaki sirloin steak with mashed potatoes. It. Was. Freaking. Delicious. I was full, but couldn't stop eating because it was so good. Dukes is really a place where you know you are in Hawaii--the decor, the food, the music, the friendly service. If you come to Honolulu and don't come to Duke's, you'll be missing out.

    The last time I visited Duke's, it was a pretty chill experience, but now not so much. If you do…read morenot know the backstory of Duke Paoa Kahanamoku, visit their web page or do an AI thing. he lived a very full life. So, Duke's is now located right on the beach inside the Outrigger Hotel. How many of these darn Outrigger's are there in Waikiki? These guys got it down pat. No shoes, no shirt, no worries. At the bar, the service is excellent. Even when they are slammed, you can have a conversation with the barkeeps. Their craft cocktails are on point. A must order is the Duke's Mai Tai, their signature cocktail made with fresh Hawaiian juices & two types of rum. Surprisingly, they offer a breakfast, lunch, and dinner prime rib buffet. We just ordered off the menu. Surprise number two, the food is excellent. We ordered the Duke's Nachos with kalua pork. Our nachos arrived piled high with black beans, jalapeños, pico de gallo, guacamole, sour cream, and Colby-Jack cheese, and of course, shredded pork. A local ice-cold draft beer was a perfect accompaniment. They did have live music one early evening, and the place was rockin' You can make a reservation online, and if you want a sit-down experience, make a reservation. We made a reservation for an early lunch, and we were able to easily secure two seats at the bar.

Excellent…read morelocation and highly recommend walking there if you are staying close by the Kalākaua Ave. There are very limited dining area so we decided to order to go. We were also able to order online and the process was seamless. We have ordered the most expensive lobster roll, which I believe has 1/2 pounds of lobster. The lobster itself was super fresh and the texture is great. You can taste the freshness from the food and you know that the lobster is not previously frozen. Although the price is close to $80 for one lobster roll, the portion is huge. It can easily feed 2 adults. We enjoyed our experience overall but will opt for the smaller option next time haha

    Note: The prices listed are from May 23, 2026. The prices appear to fluctuate based on market…read moreprice. All rolls are served with following sides: crinkle cut potato chips, melted butter, house coleslaw, garlic mayo, lemon wedge, and Old Bay seasoning. The meat is served chilled in the bun. They have 4 "sizes" that they serve on a toasted brioche bun (~6 inch bun): - The Regular (3.5 oz)**: $36.99 - The Popular (5 oz)**: $49.99 - The Big One (7 oz)**: $62.99 - The Maine Event (1/2 lb (8 oz)): $74.99 **You can also ask for extra 1.5 oz lobster meat to this size for $13.99. You can also buy just the cooked lobster meat: 1/2 lb (8 oz) for $75.00 They have can drinks such as sodas (including Hawaiian sodas) and beer. The roll was actually quite tasty! I was able to experiment with different flavors with the Old Bay seasoning, garlic mayo, lemon, and butter. The garlic mayo was surprisingly good with the lobster. You can also throw the Old Bay seasoning on the chips if you're in the mood. The price is pretty steep which was my mistake. I don't know what I was expecting when ordering lobster in Waikiki. The lady at the cash register was less than pleasant and helpful so it makes spending that money feel a little more painful. If you can afford it and are really craving a lobster roll, this should satiate you. I didn't feel like I needed more to eat after finishing my meal. Location: The store is located in the Royal Hawaiian shopping center. You have to take a staircase from the first floor to a lower floor to get to it. You may need to ask around for directions. The restaurant is super small. Maybe two or 3 small tables that can fit no more than 6-8 people.

    This was our last night here in Oahu. I wanted to do something special, we had gone twice to Duke's…read morerestaurant and enjoyed it but wanted to do something different. Chat gpt recommended this place and I have to say the AI was right! The place is really fun. You can park downstairs and they valet Park you and they will stamp you for free parking. The atmosphere is a fun vibe. They had live music. It's a indoor outdoor place. One thing to note, they don't serve their lunch menu after 4:00 so we went there expecting burgers and they don't serve them. So we kind of stayed reluctantly. I ended up ordering the guava ribs and my wife got them too. Those had to be the best ribs I think I have ever had! They literally fall off the bone as you're trying to pick up the meat. One of the reasons we wanted to go here was we wanted the options of seafood but one of our adults doesn't like seafood and they said that they had all kinds of stuff, which they do. Our server Maka, was incredible. He brings us out a free appetizer and said that was from the chef. I don't know if it was the chef or him but I was impressed and it was good. It was some kind of little fried dumpling. It was awesome! One of the people in our party had thought he was not going to order something and I gave him one of my ribs and after he tasted it, suddenly he wanted some too. I grabbed Maka and asked him If he could get those ribs fast because the rest of us were already halfway through our meals. He got right on it and had that order in. The ribs came out just in time and everybody was happy. It ended up being one of the nicest meals that we had the whole week. We were here and it was a great way to end our vacation here in Hawaii.

We were dying to go back this trip and sad to say, we left disappointed. The whole vibe changed from a fun Hawaiian restaurant to a yuppie upscale restaurant... however they still have the live music, which was a nice. The atmosphere was nice too. The menu items were minimal and surprising to us, none looked appealing. We did get a couple of appetizers, which were good... and a few samplers from the chef which were the best thing we had. But overall, is was a waste of money - and a lot of it!- I will share a positive though, the crème brûlée served in the bottom of a pineapple was delicious! It had a tangy, sweetness of pineapple that was delicious, as well as beautiful! Overall, not the same Tiki's. We did eat at food trucks and little hole in the wall places that had food that was better. Skip the bougie restaurants and go straight to the food trucks and little restaurants. Tip: ask the locals were the good food is. They will tell you it is for sure not at restaurants like these.... We asked.
