The restaurant popped up on my social media so we had to go check it out. We love poké and really miss being able to grab fresh poké at the markets on Oahu. The restaurant itself is tiny. It's more of a grab and go. There's not really any seating and everyone who says order ahead is right, you should definitely order ahead. There was a line but it moved pretty quick. Service was great. Staff was very friendly. The food was fresh and delicious. If it wasn't so far from home, we would definitely go more often. read more

Pine Isle - Salmon Poké plates and lumpia - Hawaiian Near Me - Dallas, Texas

Really small store with 4 picnic tables outside for eating. Customer service was fine, they're quick but hospitable. I've tried the octopus, creamy spicy ahi/salmon, and shoyu tuna/salmon. Both variations of the tuna and salmon are really good, the octopus not so much but that's probably just preference. They can run out of the tuna/salmon relatively quick so don't count on getting them if you come close to closing. read more

For those pining for their go-to dishes in Hawaii, Pine Isle hits the spot. This little takeout spot in an unassuming plaza in East Dallas dishes out poke just like from the Hawaiian islands. There's some picnic tables outside if you can't wait to take it all the way home. We tried all of the poke flavors--shoyu ahi, shoyu salmon, spicy ahi, spicy salmon. Next time we'll probably make some rice at home and just get the fish because it's just so good. The fish was fresh, and the flavors were just perfect. We'd also love to try the fried spam musubi and loco moco next time. All we're missing now is a beach and some salty waves! read more

It was worth the hype! It has been open for 4 months and there was a line of people waiting for their orders outside. The inside is a small space enough for you to order and wait outside. There are about four sitting tables outside but it gets packed quick. The staff were friendly when taking my order. I got the bowl with two scoops that was spicy ahi and shoyu ahi with half rice and salad it also came with edamame pods, Imitation crab, seaweed salad, and pickled ginger slices. The portion was enough to feed 2 people. The price was great! The spicy tuna was soo good and the shoyu ahi had so much flavor. The reviews are true it's great! Next time I'll try the loco moco. read more

Pine isle is a very small shop serving authentic Hawaiian food. Don't expect to dine in as there are only two tables inside. There are many classic dishes like bbq meat plates, poke, and even mochiko chicken, which was one of my favorite dishes I had when I visited Hawaii. Poke: Pine isle probably is the only place in DFW that has poke similar to Hawaii. It's mainly just fish and rice along with a few additional sides. The poke was good but I thought the shoyu salmon and tuna flavor wise was just missing something. The rice itself was also a little too mushy for me - 3.5/5 Mochiko chicken: The chicken was amazing. It had the perfect amount of crunch but also a great chew you would expect from mochiko flour. On top of that the side of Mac salad was probably the best I've had in DFW - 5/5 read more

This is one of those places I have to come back and eat at every time I visit Dallas. Their poke is probably the best I've tried in Texas. Super fresh, generous portions, and seasoned well. I love how they include edamame, crab salad, seaweed salad, ginger, and wasabi. It feels very authentic to Hawaiian poke. I think I'd skip the gochujang octopus next time around just because their tuna and salmon is already so good. Definitely try their non poke dishes as well because those looked delectable! read more

Made a pit stop here on our way out of Dallas after seeing all the hype and I fully understand why. Disclaimer: they only have outdoor seating so it does get super hot in this Texas weather. Aside from that, the garlic shrimp was fantastic, the shrimp was a good size, the shell was well seasoned, light and crispy. The rice was super buttery from sitting below the shrimp. Mac salad tasted like it was supposed to, and the small side of salad did really well to cut the fat from everything else on the plate, I loved the little marinated tomatoes. All the flavors tasted very authentic. It's definitely up there with Giovanni's shrimp truck on Oahu. Will for sure be back to try the poke next time I'm in Dallas. read more

Pine Isle - Garlic Garlic Kimchi Fries - Hawaiian Near Me - Dallas, Texas

Was the poke good? Yes. Is this the best poke I've had in Dallas? No. We ordered on the app for pickup. It was ready when we got there. Super efficient. I don't know if it's because of the time we went (Wednesday @ 7:30pm) but I was underwhelmed :(. Maybe it's because I had heard such good things about it. The shoyu salmon and tuna were yummy and the quality of the fish was good BUT the tuna in my bowl was half frozen. It was very odd and I didn't love that. My boyfriend liked the creamy spicy salmon over the shoyu one. I got wonton chips on the side because I didn't want to commit to the nachos which was a nice addition. The store itself was clean and they had seating outside. I also appreciated how much you could customize your order. Maybe I'll give it another chance. read more

Pine Isle - Hawaiian Near Me - Dallas, Texas

Had to drive down to try the Loco Moco as not many places in Dallas who serve. Small to go place with one 2 top outside and two, two tops inside. They have an area outside with picnic tables and as folks came in and left as no seating and they would not open outside. We had party of 3 and was able to share one of the 2 little tables. Shared an order of loco mock - 2 large meatloaf type patties on great rice and a very oniony gravy with 2 eggs over easy. Come with a little green salad and Macaroni salad. I do not want to give negative feedback as food was fresh cooked to order and good. But I am a loco Moco snob. Rice perfect, gravy over powering onion flavor no mushrooms. Burger patties very meatloaf texture and onion flavor. Macaroni salad macaroni was over cooked. Fried Musubi was good. read more

Finally tried the place. The poké is so fresh and flavorful best Poke I have had in DFW since moving here from California. The service was very good and they got our food out to use very quickly. Love it ! read more

Went to try this new viral spot. The location a little small but there is indoor and outdoor seating. I ordered to go. The steak caught my eye so I ordered that. Its a teriyaki steak and I ordered medium rare. My wife ordered the mochikko chicken. The chicken had a good hint of spice and great overall flavor. My steak was jaw droppingly delicious. Cooked very well and amazing flavor. Mac was nice. Staff was friendly and food came out and a reasonable time. This seems to be elevated hawaiian and im here for it. read more

As Polynesian this is honestly some of the better Hawaiian plates in the DFW area. Food is BOMB DOT COM. Garlic shrimp is a must- rivals Giovanni's in the North Shore of Oahu! Service was friendly. The Resturant is small but when the food is good, that doesn't matter! Go try! read more

When Pine Isle first came to Dallas, you could tell that we were getting quality and freshness we hadn't been used to. I used to dine with them via DoorDash a couple times a month. Their salmon and tuna, at first was very vivid, high grade, and had an incredible depth of flavor. However, my last experience a week or so ago included a poke with very opaque salmon slathered in mayo, the tuna is dull and the sauce no longer has the onion, herbs, and sauce that kept me coming back. The rice was very mushy and warm which med things even more unappetizing. The lumpia and fried spam musubi are still excellent, fortunately, but I feel like should still be able to get the same great experience across the board. Regarding extras, the wonton chips were super stale during my last experience and when you want some more crab or seaweed salad (also a dip in quality) you will only receive about a dime worth in the tiniest ramekins I've ever seen. Please bring back the goodness we were introduced to, otherwise I can't promise I'll return. read more

Had the bbq chicken plate, comes with macaroni salad and regular salad with dressing and rice. This was so bomb! Chicken had tons of flavor from the grill and marinate. The fried spam musubi was also delicious! Never had anything like it before. Crispy and savory! perfect amount of food! I'm glad they're close by, I wanna try their poke next read more

Stopped in for a mid-day meal and was not disappointed. Small interior looks straight into the kitchen which was bustling at 4:45 pm.

Omg everything here was so good!! I have been dying to find a good spot that has fresh and decent poke, and this place definitely was the spot! Their loco moco was really good too, I enjoyed it a lot. Something I got and didn't think would like so much was the mochiko chicken, that was a 10/10! The workers were so nice and friendly I felt so welcomed. The only thing about the spot is that it is small, and theres only two tables so it's more of a take out spot, but thankfully they have an order online! I will definitely be back, it was a great experience read more

The poke bowl that I had was outstanding! Fresh, flavorful, generous portions, and very reasonably priced! Service was fast and friendly too. I had a Large poke bowl (3 proteins) but I customized it to have 1 scoop of shoyu salmon and 2 scoops of spicy salmon, over 1/2 rice and 1/2 salad. It came with seaweed salad, kani salad, wasabi, pickled ginger, and edamame. Easily some of the best poké here in DFW. Highly, highly recommend this gem of a place. read more

Literally the best authentic Hawaiian food in Dallas! Their poke is SO SO good.... I almost want to gatekeep because they were sold out of some of the pokes when we came here but credit is due where it's due. Highly recommend this place for hot summer days for delicious Hawaiian food! read more

Pine Isle - Hawaiian Near Me - Dallas, Texas

While the food is great and I've been here many times for a reason - I'm writing this review in regard to cleanliness. I showed up to pick up my order about ten minutes too early and had to stand in the entrance waiting. While doing so, I witnessed SEVERAL incidents of employees being careful and thoughtful about cleanliness. This isn't something I generally go out of my way to look for, but it was so evident that it was obvious and appreciated. I watched employees cleaning the top of canned beverages one by one, employees washing hands after taking drinks of personal beverages, switching gloves constantly - it was just really noticeable and I thought JT should be called out! read more

I ordered food here for lunch to pickup and they finished my order exactly once i got there! This place was so good. I got the Loco Moco plate which had such a juicy patty and everything about this was flavorful. The garlic shrimp plate was really good as well. I would get both of these again. I also ordered the kimchi fries which were ok! I think i wish it was a bit crispier even with the kimchi on top. The portions were huge! They only do takeout and have very little seating. I would come back here for sure! read more

FOOD We've been on the search for authentic Hawaiian poke since traveling to Oahu and I am thankful that DFW has a place that fulfills our cravings! Hands down, as authentic as you can get in the DFW area. The spicy ahi tuna has great texture and the shoyu salmon melts in your mouth and is very buttery. We also tried the Mochiko chicken which is very flavorful. The mac salad is also very refreshing, so I had to get a double portion. The Loco moco is also quite tasty. SERVICE The service here was amazing and everybody is so kind. They were frequently checking in to see how our meal which I appreciated very much ENVIRONMENT The store is a bit on the smaller side with 2 tables indoors and 1 table outdoors. read more

I don't give 5 stars any more or rarely now. Many excellent places have bad days at times. That being said, this place is very good. Take out only. Open kitchen. A handful of picnic tables outside with umbrellas but beware- you eat outside you attract flies and nature. Nice quality with quality. Food isn't about quantity- remember that! Good counter service. And even better take out plastics. They use clear or lightly colored plastic with leak out less toxins than the black ones(most toxins). And yea, when it's busy, there is a line which is normal. Hopefully one day they will move to a bigger location with indoor seating but if the carry- out concept is working for them, then by all means stick with the plan. read more

Went there today for lunch the day after Christmas. The lady at the register was friendly and kind. The kitchen staff was full and everyone was busy. My two sons and i ordered the garlic kimchi french fries. The deep fried misobe. Katsu chicken plate with curry sauce the poke nachos and loco moco. Every single plate looked amazing, beautiful and vibrant. The pokey was super fresh and very delicious the loco moco was comforting and put a big smile on my face. Me and the boys had wanted to come to this place for a while now. The staff and the food did not disappoint. 10 out of 10 five stars Chef kiss!!!! Food was amazing and will definitely be back. read more

Being from Guam and living in Seattle for 15 years. I haven't had Poke this good in a long while. I ordered the poke nachos and it was delicious. It was worth the $18. You get 3 scoops of protein. They have different flavors for the salmon and ahi. Vibes were good (reggae was playing). This is a dine out only. Although they do have some tables outside that you can eat at. We ordered online and got the food quick! I would recommend 10/10. read more

I got the deep fried musubi and the poke nachos. Both were very good and the wontons held up surprisingly well considering they sat through over 45 minutes of driving before being eaten. The spicy ahi (I wouldn't say it was spicy but it still had a nice taste) and shoyu salmon were fresh and complimented well by everything else on the nachos. My only negative would be that the musubi was a bit greasy, but that's pretty minor in my opinion. Service was good the guy at the front I think his name is Blair was good about taking orders, and getting food deliveries situated while still helping in the back too. So wait times are pretty short even if you don't order online beforehand. I didn't get any pictures because I was super hungry but trust if you are in the area this place is absolutely worth visiting. read more

i live in fort worth and my husband and i make the drive once a week to Pine Isle. We crave this so much and still not tired of it. I've eaten here 5 times and has been consistent each time. The poke is so fresh and all the flavors marry so well together. The miso salmon is so flakey and the miso sauce is addicting. Mac salad is solid, one of the best. Even the garden salad i'm obsessed with, the dressing really makes it. read more
