They occasionally offer salmon as well! Obviously the dining ambiance is prolly the downside as it's a simple outdoor patio in front of the venue, but hey it does the job! We got their combo of Wasabi Ahi and Spicy Salmon, both of which we really love. I might like the sauce from the other well known place tad better, but would say this one was certainly delectable!

I've tried quite a few poke spots around the Bay Area, and the quality of the fish here in Hawaii…read moredefinitely stands out. - The spicy ahi was easily my favorite. It had great flavor without overpowering the freshness of the fish. - The wasabi ahi was also good, but be prepared for a strong wasabi kick that definitely clears your sinuses. - I also tried the Hawaiian ahi, which was a little too mild for my taste. - The miso tako ended up being my least favorite because it leaned much sweeter than I expected. Next time I'd probably go with the shoyu instead since I was looking for a bit more flavor. One thing they absolutely get right is the fish itself. It's incredibly fresh, buttery, and almost melt in your mouth tender. Compared to other well-known poke spots, I actually preferred the quality and flavor of the fish here. The only reason I'm taking off one star is the rice. They use regular jasmine rice, and I really think sushi rice would make a huge difference. Since poke is essentially fish and rice, the rice should complement the fish instead of feeling like an afterthought. Service was quick and straightforward. You tell them what you want, they build your bowl, you pay, and you're on your way. The shop itself is very small with no indoor seating, just a couple of outdoor tables, so I'd consider this more of a grab-and-go spot than a place to dine in. Overall, I'd definitely come back for the freshness of the fish alone. With sushi rice, this place would be even better.

I picked up lunch here for a group two days in a row and plan to make today the third. The food is…read moreso fresh and tasty. The staff is friendly but make sure you're ready to order when you get to the front of the line. As fast as I could state my order (1: size, 2: base, 3: poke), I tapped to pay, and they were handing me my food with a friendly "mahalo" that also translates to, "there are hungry diners behind you in line." Pro tip, if you choose the 2-poke option, you can try more flavors! I was introduced to this spot by a colleague who lived here for two years. The menu is delightfully brief. They're focused on one product and do it exceptionally well, the kind of local food experience I'm grateful to find when I visit someplace new.

The flavors are…read morestrong and salty so make sure you have some sort of vessel to eat the poke with, rice, chips etc. Usually our go to is to grab 1/2 lb of spicy ahi and ginger, it's around $40 but well worth it to smash that craving. The service is always fast and friendly. Definitely swing by for a delicious poke bowl with all the fixings! It's a quick grab and go window so it's super convenient, I usually just park at Safeway and walk across the street. Support local friends, enjoy!

Yummmmm I wish I had known about Maguro Spot from day one. This was my favorite poke of the trip…read more Something's that's important to note is I am a bit of a purist when it comes to my fish and I don't want it to be drenched in sauce (which absolutely is also delicious and there are plenty of places where you can find that!) Maguro Spot doesn't pre marinate the fish so everything is extra fresh, you can tell. We did two build your own bowls and they gave us great suggestions. Unfortunately they were out of marlin, but the tuna and salmon were delicious. There will probably be a line when you get but it goes by super quickly. I also loved that they have sizes for the poke bowls (small, medium, large, XL).

Prepared quickly and at committed time during crowded holiday. Poke tuna bowl with fresh ahi was fresh and "sushi rice" was on point. I had mine with cucumbers, onions, edamame, and seaweed.

Ambiance is walk through counter style with picnic tables outside and lots of people as it is good. Mahalo

It's a take out place where you can order at the kiosk or on your phone. It's located inside a food court. Once you've ordered, there are benches and table where you can sit and eat. I ordered a Hawaiian Limu Ahi and a Shoyu Onion Ahi (no onions for my son). It took about 10-15 minutes for our food to be ready. The tuna is fresh, very light, and I can taste a little bit of salt from the Limu Ahi. If you're looking for something light and not too heavy, order a regular size and it should be enough. The Poke was delicious and refreshing. I will definitely come back to Maguro brothers for Poke the next time I'm in Oahu.

The restaurant was pretty cute both outside and inside, and I could tell it draws a good crowd for football games, which is a plus. For the poke bowls, we got the Spicy Shoyu Ahi, Furikake Salmon, and Ultimate. Overall, they were pretty good and decent bowls. I liked that there was a condiment bar at the end to add any toppings you wanted. The fish was fresh and well seasoned, with no fishiness at all. I just wished there was a bit more white onion for crunch, but it was good regardless. The Fish and Chips were really good. The fish was super crispy, the meat was firm, and the fries were nicely fried. The tartar sauce or maybe more of a lemony aioli, was the star. It wasn't your usual tartar sauce; it had a homemade lemony sweetness that made it delicious. My only complaint was that the batter came off the fish pretty easily, which made it a bit tricky to eat at times.

One hundred stars! I saw this place somewhere online and I am so grateful, because this is such a…read morehidden gem off the strip. But is it not unknown. We always say if there is a line out the door that is the place to try and this place definitely had a long line out the door, but that was fine, it gave us a chance to figure out what we wanted to try. They are such a small business, but not only have food but many fun souvenir items to buy. They have copies of the menu outside posted as well as menus you can browse as you wait in line, but also pay attention to the chalk board for more choices not listed on the menu. We all went with the same pick, shrimp and avocado musubi. It was so fresh, the absolute best musubi that I have ever had, period! They have more items that just musubi. People were coming out with bags and bags of food. Unfortunately for myself, I only had an appetite for one and we were not able to return since we were visiting so many spots, but I will be dreaming of this tiny delight! If you are a musubi fan, this is a must visit place.

It was love at first bite for me with musubi and onigiri, so when I saw a spot dedicated to this deliciousness you better believe I made a point to go there! I ran even faster when StaciLei, Yelp Hawaii's amazing Community Manager, told me it's a must and gave me her list of greatest hits and must not miss items as a guide! Now I've had a lot of these in my life, and I must say, Iyasume are easily the best. See musubi and onigiri have humble origins as a quickly made homespun snack or on the go lunch, and when you spot them in the convenience environment they're often a giant ball of rice with a tinge of protein or seasoning for flavor. At Iyasume, these are culinary adventures, stacked with ingredients, all in handheld form, and the variety they offer is IMPRESSIVE! Of course musubi starts with the classic, SPAM. I had to order the kimchi + spam, shiso + spam, and unagi + tamago + spam, all of which were awesome (even the next day!). Onigiri here are actually layered with ingredients, so you get them in every bite, unlike the convenience store versions! They have a HUGE menu, and I went with spicy mentaiko and salmon, spicy mentaiko and ikura, ikura and salmon, and tuna mayo curry, all of which were great. I LOVE that they make these to order. You can see the line in the back hard at work, and they're very fast. You're sure to encounter a line when you arrive, but don't be scared, it moves quickly. I only had to wait about 5 minutes for mine to come up! Well worth it. Reasonably priced. Very filling. A taste of Hawaii and Japan in one place that'll have everyone smiling!

If you want to eat-in, there is a cozy eating area outside the shop that seats 10 total guests. 1/FOOD: Ali'i has the best poke on the island. And they've won awards for their some of their creative recipes like their Kaffir Lemongrass poke. Other mainstays we love to get are the OG Limu Ahi poke, Seasame Sea Asparagus poke, and Yuzu Shiso Ahi poke. Honestly, you can't go wrong. You can get the poke by the half-pound or over sushi or hot cooked rice. The hot cooked rice is honestly the best way to eat it, because it doesn't interfere with the rich flavors. You can get two kinds of poke over rice for $18, and one kind for $14. 2/SERVICE: Super chill and friendly staff. The owner talks story and loves his customers. It can get really busy with a line out the door, but it usually goes quick (2-3 minutes per person max) unless there's a big family order. 3/LOCATION: it's in a small strip mall with limited parking. You can park on the street too. There is eating area inside for 10 people. It's usually not too crowded, because most people take it out.
