We walked in a…read morecouple Saturdays ago for lunch, and the interior had no-frills, seafood-market, straight-to-the-counter-to-order kind of vibes. There was only simple bench seating and high-top counter tables with no chairs. We loved that we could sample some before making a choice. POKE BOWL +2 for white rice Since poke is charged by the pound, I went crazy. "A bit more!" I would say, after one gigantic scoop. I got a scoop-plus of both ahi shoyu and "old school" ahi, which is seasoned simply with sesame oil and salt. I ended up with about 0.7 pounds of fish (both 29.99/lb), which came out to around $22. The rice wasn't great since it was a bit mushy and clumpy, but the star of the show was the fresh tuna. The "old school" ahi was my favorite for its simplicity and addictive sesame flavor. It's one I could easily enjoy without rice. The shoyu was also great, but it got a bit too saucy and overwhelming after a few bites. Overall, I truly enjoyed eating all that fresh poke. It was easily my favorite poke of the trip. ICED LILIKOI PASSION TEA - 5 I asked for less sweet, and it was perfect. It was refreshing and smooth, making it great to sip on whenever I needed a break from the intensity of the poke. I'm so glad I got this to pair with my bowl. Next time, I'll get a poke bowl with the "old school" ahi and furikake salmon. I tried my friend's salmon, and it was nutty and umami-forward, with fatty, rich salmon that I really enjoyed.

Overhyped and overpriced you're better off going elsewhere I…read morehonestly don't get the hype for this place. To be fair, the fish is super fresh, but the flavors just didn't hit the spot at all. Considering how expensive poke is here, you expect it to be incredible at these prices, it needs to be. Honestly, I'd rather go across the street and eat Safeway poke, which says a lot. For what they're charging, it's just not worth it.

My partner stopped by at 10:30 am as we will be living right across the street. Not being particularly well versed in the poke language, he ordered a medium A bowl, and a medium B bowl. The combo of fish and sea asparagus with mild shoyu sauce in the A bowl was wonderful. The sauce and the vegetables served to bring out the taste of the fish. The B bowl was extra spicy but with mayo based sauces. I don't care for sauces that obscure the appearance of the food, but the mayo with gochujang was lovely as it wasn't as sweet as when Sriracha is used. I am crazy about seaweed salad with which they were not stingy on the B bowl. I look forward to trying the Hawaiian bowl with spicy Hawaiian sauce. Service? My partner said that the staff was super friendly and helpful. Ambiance? I've only seen it from the outside. You might ask why this was only a 4 star review? It just wasn't pretty or well presented. In Monterey County, our poke restaurants put lots of color in the bowls with carrot and purple cabbage shreds, corn kernels, edamame, larger pieces of unpeeled cucumber and zucchini, and sliced green onions. All of that color makes the bowl so gorgeous and more appetizing. Since we'll be living across the street, we'll be coming here a lot and I'm looking forward to the experience!

Each poke bowl was $20. The poke bowls come with two scoops of rice and toppings of furikake, sauce, and some crunchy bits. The poke was fresh and delicious. There is a table bench outside to enjoy your poke. Overall, it was good and we'll be back to try the shave ice! Happy Eating!

Musubi Cafe is such a fun, local gem, but be ready for a wait. We went early, midday timing, and…read morethe line was already about 15 people with roughly a 30 minute wait. It moves steadily though, and it is worth it. Inside is tiny, just one small table, so this is really an order and go kind of place rather than somewhere to sit and eat. They have every musubi combination you could think of, unagi, avocado, cucumber, egg, bacon, ume, tofu skin, shrimp, you name it. I got the tuna mayo onigiri and wished they had packed in a little more tuna filling, but it was still tasty. I also tried the cucumber spam musubi, which was really good too. We came as a group of seven and everyone ordered something different, and everyone loved every bite. My tip: get at least two musubis per person. A few people in our group got four each and had zero regrets. One thing to know ahead of time is parking. It is street parking only and pretty limited, so plan for that if you are driving. Overall such an easy, yummy stop and a great local experience in Waikiki.

We decided to come back the next day and order the "Double Tuna," thinking it would actually have double the tuna. Instead, it seemed like the same small amount of tuna with double the rice! We ordered around eight of them, so it was especially disappointing to find that they were mostly rice. The portions just don't feel balanced. If someone pays extra for "Double Tuna," they're expecting more tuna, NOT extra rice. Unfortunately, it felt like they were really skimping on the filling, and the quality didn't live up to the hype for us.

What stands out to me is their variety of unique flavors - even your basic shoyu or spicy ahi poke has a more creative and/or elevated version here! The Yuzu Shiso Ahi poke is my single favorite poke I've ever tried from anywhere; this combination is absolutely genius and feels tailor-made for me, as someone who loves these two flavors! They've also recently added a Kaffir Lemongrass Ahi poke that I love as well - you get exactly what the name suggests, which is bright, fresh, and full of flavor. The fish itself is always great quality; the flavor is always fresh despite the texture sometimes (rarely) having some tough parts. The prices are reasonable too, though I usually prefer ordering 1/2 or 1/4 pound of poke along with another side dish instead of a poke bowl. They have great sides like the Fish Patty Musubi or Inari Sushi, but I really hope they bring back the Grilled Musubi soon!!! Although the shop itself is very small and can get crowded quickly, the staff are always super friendly and efficient. As you can probably tell, I have nothing but love for Ali'i and would recommend them for any fan of poke!

They were accepting and said they could stack the salad on top. I didn't get the unagi sauce in the moment, but I wasn't upset either because I enjoy salad without sauce too.
