Hands down one of the best poke bowls I had. The 2 sistahs that helped us on Thursday 08/06/2026 had the best customer service with and were just stunning in what they do for the company. Would definitely recommend this to someone else. Give those 2 sistahs a raise!! read more

Okay-- BEST POKE ON THE TRIP AWARD goes to... this spot. We've had Ono before, on a prev. trip. Great. But then we fell hard for Off-the-Hook. This trip... Ono Seafood won the battle. This poke was SO FRESH, I could taste the knife, the boat, the water, the morning sun... all in good ways. It was divine. The catch? Maybe their DRY RUB... I have spicy habits, and tend to get poke lathered in spicy sauce. This poke had no sauce, just a dry salt / pepper rub - and the dryness of the fish, helped me TRULY taste the TEXTURE, freshness, and the QUALITY of the fish. Blown away. The owner (or manager) came out to check on us, and thank us for coming out. Told us the fish had been REALLY good lately, out there on the water. We could taste it. Love the tempura flakes they add on top. Can't wait to go back! read more

Ono Seafood Hawaii - DRY RUB (on the right) is a must - Lets you truly appreciate the texture, cut, freshness, and quality of their fish. (Spicy ahi on left) - Poke Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

This place is hidden in the Kalama Valley shopping center, at the 4 way stop. Not much in there but wow, there's Ono seafood. They have fresh ahi and tako poke which you can get by the pound or as bowls. The regular is $16 and the large is $18 and you can have a choice of two kinds of poke. I got the Hawaiian style tako poke with limu and chili pepper and it's yum! Might say tho, it's a little heavy on the Hawaiian salt. It also has a bit of a kick from the chili pepper. It's served plain but you can add on things like furikake, ginger for 75 cents or avocado slices for $1.50. Also you can get it with white or brown rice. Not all places has tako poke as part of the regular menu so if you like tako and you're in Hawaii Kai or coming in from Sandy's or Waimanalo side, stop here for your fix. read more

Ono Seafood Hawaii - Miso tako, shoyu poke mix - Poke Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

This place was amazing. I mean it was my first time in Hawaii and I heard the Poke is incredible. The parking lot is big, the actual shop is located in a shopping complex type of situation with outside tables to sit and eat. I got the spicy ahi and shoyu tako on brown rice and of course I got a bev. You order out of a window. The food took about 6ish mins to come out? There was a bit of a rush though. Ate w my friend and boy was this meal amazing. Def a place to check out when in Oahu. I'll be back when the time comes. read more

This is definitely in my top 3 for eating poke this trip. The staff were warm and welcoming we got 4 kinds of poke and the spicy tuna and miso salmon were my favorite. The Hawaiian tuna did not have a ton of flavor for me, but the chunks of fish were big and fresh. Nice spot after Koko Head. read more

!! Best poke we had on our trip !! This place was recommended by one of our friends & we didn't expect to like it this much. I tried different things from the menu & my absolute favorite was the shoyu ahi!! I loved the briny taste from the limu and the fish was so buttery. The fish and marinade over the bed of rice was just perfect. We ended up checking out this place twice (the second time at the Kaka'ako Farmers Market) Couldn't pass up the opportunity ~ read more

My husband and I both agreed this was the best tasting poke we had during our trip to Oahu. I tried the spicy and the Hawaiian style and they're both super fresh tasting and delicious! We heard them talking about the fish being caught fresh which was pretty exciting for us. It's pricy but well worth it I think. I would definitely recommend the larger size as the small looked not very filling to me. read more

Ono Seafood Hawaii - Spicy salmon and shoyu ahi - Poke Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

We did the hanauma bay snorkeling and lighthouse hike and were super hungry. This spicy salmon poke hit the spot. It was delicious, the fish was fresh and flavorful and the rice was warm. I did it with the furikake or seaweed flakes on it. The service was quick and they were really nice at the cashier. It was a standing business where you order at the window and they have your food out in about 5-10 mins. Some seating around just meant to be a quick bite. We ate in our car and people watched. Great place for some poke and wish we had one back on the mainland :) read more

I was looking for a place to eat lunch and remembered that know seafood is in Hawaii Kai so perfect! I got the shoyu poke with tempura flakes and avocado. Super good! The poke was fresh and the tempura flakes just made the poke bowl so much better. It's $1.50 to add avocados not bad. The only downfall was that my rice was a little hard. read more

My girlfriends and I loved Ono! This family owned business is unbeatable. Best poke on the island, hospitable customer service and fast. It's grab and go, with a few tables shared in a strip mall. Tons of parking too. The fish was melt in your mouth, nicely colored, no gristle, nice cuts and good add ins. I highly recommend this place. read more

Ono Seafood Hawaii - Poke Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Fresh, cleanly cut ahi. I got the wasabi ahi and it was delicious! Not slimy like Safeway poke.

Ono Seafood Hawaii is the GOAT poke spot in Oahu!!! No ifs, ands, or buts about it! My wife and I have been to Ono's twice before: once at their Honolulu location and once at this location on East Shore. We like this East Shore location better as it's not nearly as hectic. The Honolulu location is their OG spot, but parking is extremely limited and is always mobbed by tourists. This East Shore location is much more relaxing and open, with plenty of parking and situated in a strip mall in a somewhat suburban area. My wife and I arrived on a Saturday afternoon after a few hours at Waimanalo Beach. We decided to split a Large #7 (spicy ahi bowl) with brown rice. We weren't starving, but needed a snack before the drive back to our hotel in Waikiki. The total came out to about $17, which isn't bad in today's economy. Our order was ready relatively quickly, and was absolutely DELICIOUS. Just as we'd remembered! Spicy ahi poke has always been my favorite, but something about Ono's poke just 'hits' different. It's almost as if their poke melts in your mouth! Ono's poke tastes extremely fresh and portions are generous. As other Yelpers have commented, Ono's has perfected the sauce-to-poke ratio as well. Meaning not dry, but also not ridiculously smothered in sauce (a mistake I find a lot of poke places make). So you're getting perfect with every bite! Be aware that seating is limited here. This isn't a real "restaurant" per say and more somewhere you go to order food. There are a few benches, tables, and chairs out front, but they can get filled up fast. Although eating in a parking lot may not sound ideal, the calming breeze of the nearby ocean makes this experience extremely pleasurable. There's something very relaxing about this location! Thus, I HIGHLY recommend Ono Seafood Hawaii. If you're doing anything in East Shore, definitely stop by for the best poke on the island! read more

Oops can't believe I never reviewed this place yet - one of my top faves for poke, this place is situated in kalama valley shopping center Every time I come here, the poke is always fresh! I usually get it with white rice and the rice is very hot, so it is best to eat the bowl as soon as you get it so it doesn't cook your ahi :) While this location doesn't give a free drink with your bowl (like their kapahulu location), the fish is still fresh and their poke bowls never disappoint. Service may sometimes be slow, so I definitely recommend calling your order in ahead. My favorite order is a two-choice bowl with spicy ahi and their Hawaiian style poke (their shoyu ahi is another favorite ) Also, there's a park a little down the road that you can enjoy your food and, if you have kids, let them run around (hopefully leaving you a few minutes to eat in peace lol) read more

I remember the good old days when ono's poke bowls were $7 and came with a drink. Nowadays they are $16 and don't come with a drink. Smh. This location opened a few years ago. I always imagined it to be in one of those Hawaii Kai shopping plazas on kalanianaole, but it's in a random little shopping plaza in the back of Hawaii kai near Sandy's. So if you're going to Sandy's maybe get your poke from here because it's convenient, but otherwise it's kind of out of the way. The Kapahulu location is much more convenient. This location is literally a take out counter. You can't walk in the door even. So when I ordered my poke bowl, I assumed I'd be offered the drink that usually comes with it when I picked up my food. The girl working the register was organized enough. They have a tally sheet of all the orders. But when she called my name and I asked for a drink, she charged me $1.57. I guess canned juice isn't included in the price anymore. There are quite a few plastic picnic tables outside the poke counter. I think most people take their food to go though. I don't think it's worth it for the price.... I mean when you compare it to 10 years ago, I guess the price of ahi combined with inflation is over 100%.... It's crazy times we're living in. read more

This is our favorite poke place in Hawaii. Every time we come out here we would drop by here to get some fresh poke. Will be back here again soon! read more

Coming from someone who's only had poke in LA and Sea this was on another level of freshness. Loved how the fish was cut up in bigger chunks and the sauce was tangy and delicious. It doesn't even compare. I'm not going to enjoy poke at home anymore this place ruined it for me. Can't wait to travel here again and stop by. Food: 9.5/10 Service: 9/10 Ambience: 6.7/10 (outdoors and sunny. Goes with all of the island) read more

Ono Seafood Hawaii - Shoyu poke & Haw'n poke bowl with white rice - Poke Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Sometimes simple is the best. Ono Seafood has been doing straightforward poke with very familiar home-style tastes even as some place try to turn poke into a deconstructed pan asian sushi roll. Go elsewhere if you need ginger green onion, truffle ponzu, oyster sauce, kabayaki sauce, anything volcano/lava/hurricane as seasoning for your seafood. Don't bother looking for a surf & turf combo, like with kalua pig, smoked meat, or turkey tails. Bowls are simply rice with some fish or octopus, 5 or 8 ounces, one or two choices, made to order, unadorned. They've caved a bit to modern demands so you can add furikake and tenkasu to your bowl, but stuff like sea asparagus, pickled onion, ocean salad, taegu, and kinilau (ceviche), are strictly sides. Hawaiian style with Hawaiian rock salt and ogo is probably the most popular, but the creamy sweet salty miso is my favorite. The fish and octopus is slightly irregularly cut for poke but you won't (or shouldn't) find stringy sinewy tuna or tough to chew octopus. The sashimi, whether ahi or octopus, is tender. And yes, the ahi is fresh and unfrozen, and beautiful. My top choice is to get the lomi ahi side when they have it. It's the trim of the ahi. Minimally seasoned with a little Hawaiian salt and a few pieces of green onion for color. It is a bargain for the price and portion. The matriarch, Judy, has stepped away from the original Kapahulu shop, leaving it in the hands of her daughter. Her granddaughter helms this outpost in Kalama Valley with her husband and young son. A three generation family run, local, AAPI, woman-owned, business with a simple saying, "The best fish you'll ever eat in a parking lot". That is a bold statement, and every day they try to live up to it. read more

Finally, a solid poke place in my neck of the woods! This is Ono Seafood's 2nd location - their first being in Kapahulu. Rumor has it that the daughter is running this 2nd location. I love supporting a small family business like this! They're located in an unassuming shopping plaza in Kalama Valley, which is typically pretty dead aside from the occasional weekly farmers market that attracts more customers to the area. Plenty of parking is available in the shared lot. Their menu is small and simple. They offer poke bowls, poke by the pound or sashimi. On my first visit, I decided to get a poke bowl. I selected the regular size, which comes with 5 oz. of poke and rice (white or brown) for $15.50 and the Shoyu Ahi flavor (they have 8 flavor styles to choose from). They also offer 3 toppings for .75 cents each, and I got all 3 - furikake, tempura flakes and pickled ginger. The fish itself is fresh, fresh, fresh! I've been back subsequent times and have gotten just the poke by the pound without all the added stuff, so I could truly taste the freshness of the fish. The price of the poke bowl is a bit high for what you get IMO, but clearly you're paying for the fresh fish which really can't be beat. This is a take-out only place. There are a couple of benches outside, but most people tend to get their food to go. Once you place your order, the food comes out fast. This is the perfect beach food if you're headed to Sandy's nearby. Definitely worth checking out if you're craving a poke bowl or sashimi! read more

We tried five different poke spots in Honolulu. This one was the best! My bf and I shared this spicy salmon & shoyu ahi combo bowl. The fish was sooo fresh!! Perfect seasoning. The rice was also perfectly cooked :) Their strawberry guava gelato is just ok. Nice if you're craving something sweet afterward, but not mind-blowing. Can't wait to go back to Hawaii again for this read more

Really really delicious poke--I wish I could eat it every day. We got everything by weight and enjoyed all the different styles. We loved the salmon, especially miso flavor. We felt the spicy flavors weren't that spicy and were mainly creamy from the mayo. Good if that's your thing, but it took a bit too much of the fish flavor away for my taste. It was great that this spot was accessible and yummy option on the east side of the island. read more

Maybe more of a 4.5/5 The ahi is really fresh, nice big chunks of fish with a good bite. I like that they give you the option to add on toppings, whether it be rice furitake or tempura. This location is really close to some attractions in Honolulu (like koko head, hanauma bay, and makapupu lighthouse) so I recommend checking it out if you're in the area! There are tables outdoors to dine on and the mountainous backdrop is immaculate. read more

Ono Seafood Hawaii - Half spicy half Hawaiian poké bowl - Poke Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Glad there's another location for Ono Seafood that is much less crowded and plenty of parking in a shared lot. Hubby and I decided to share a large poke bowl with half salmon and half octopus tako. Everything was in big chunks and fresh! Top with avocado, furikake and tempura crumbs and you got a great meal! For a large, you do get more fish but it's the same container so you do not get more rice. Do open the box to make sure you got the avocado that you paid for to save yourself from going back. Luckily we were just eating in the car so we didn't have to walk too far. There are only 3 small tables outside and it was all taken up by other customers already. We had little of a wait for our order, but I think that's just island time. Enjoy and savor every bite mmmmm! read more

Can't really complain. It's pretty much the same as the OG spot. I like that it's next to Sandy's. Got the wasabi poke and it was soft, tasty, and hit the spot. I usually like it more spicy but I understand it's Hawaii Kai lol Will come back again. read more

The staff was friendly and explained all of the options. We decided on a regular poke bowl with Miso Ahi and Shoyu Ahi with white rice topped with Tempura Flakes. This is the poke spot to go if you don't like crowds. There was only 2 other people there when went. They were set up at the door so there was no indoor seating but there was plenty of outdoor seating. I ended up taking my bowl to the beach. Fish was still fresh when I got to the beach 20 minutes later. The ahi just melts in your mouth. I decided to top it off with tempura flakes because I've never seen that option before. Yeah, next time I'm sticking to furikake. Overall, good service, friendly staff, great fish. No complaints. read more

Delicious poke tucked away in an easy-to-miss parking lot strip of shops. We tried the Hawaiian style ahi, miso salmon, and the spicy ahi bombs with unagi sauce. All were delicious!

Same great simple onos! No fluff involved it's just poke and rice. A major pluss is that the HK location has a huge abundance of parking compared to the flagship location. Downside is that I don't think the HK location gives you the free can juice. read more

Ono Seafood Hawaii - Salmon poke - Poke Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

I thought I had sampled all the exceptional poke places on Oahu... boy was I mistaken. Sorry for leading anyone astray but.....Ono Seafood in Hawaii Kai, right under the shadow of my beloved Kokohead, is the best. End of story. Here's why: -Superior freshness you can taste - Absence of detractors like shoyu, sugars, chemical preservatives, sesame seed oil, and other "gunk" that serves to mask non-fresh seafood - commitment to quality... every batch made daily from fish bought at the auction block earlier in the day -seasonings are matched and individually tailored for each dish so that epicurean perfection is achieved. More emphasis on natural dry ingredients than "wet" oils and dressings, so that the poke's fresh fish oil comes through beautifully We spoke with Lance the co-owner who says this is a third generation ohana run business originally started in 1995 by his wife's mother. Lance's daughter was the person who took our order! He explained that they have the ability to choose lower grades of fish (like the other poke shops, and mask the non freshness with sauces) but they always pick the highest grade "sashimi" quality seafood each morning at the fish auction. Even their tako is Japanese quality. The original store is in Manoa and they are contemplating a third location near Ko'olina. We could see on Lance's face, the immense pride in ownership and his passion and love of great quality fish. You won't find anything but natural Hawaiian ingredients in their poke. Only minor flaw is that the tako hawaiian poke I tasted seemed to have a tad too much extra salt...but still 5 stars. We agreed from first bite that Ono poke truly is as ono as their name professes. Words are cheap... head out there and see for yourself if this is not the best poke on island! Mahalo for reading my review. read more

Pretty straightforward spot. Order from the window and food comes out in just a few minutes. Simple menu to choose from to build your poke bowl. You can pick two types of flavors for your bowl. We tried the Hawaiian style ahi and the spicy ahi. Both were yummy but the spicy ahi was a hitter. Also got the garlic soybeans. Wish there was a bit more soy sauce there but overall good. read more

Many reviews have stated the same, but this really was our most favorite poke during our trip! My family and I ordered an assortment of their poke offerings and there was not one flavor that we disliked. The most notable of all was the wasabi ahi and the miso tako. Everything was so fresh tasting and went perfectly along with the freshly cooked white rice. There was a bench available for my family of 5 which was nice. We'd definitely return! read more
