    The biggest bowl evahhh special for me...
    Gary O.

    Got in just in time! Runs out real quick... Ry takes care as always!.... Don't stay in mainland too long we miss you... I always am super happy to see him and his wife killing it... proud of you!!! I drive from Kakaako all the time to eat your BEST POKE on the whole island...

    shoyu 1/2

    This is a must try poke stand in Kahuku and is popular for a reason. We were eating our way through the day so didn't have a huge appetite to eat an entire poke bowl, so we got 1/2 pound of the shoyu poke. It seemed like only two people were working the truck, which was not ideal. We waited 20 minutes for the scoop of poke. Although it was tasty, I wasn't mind blown. I've tried better poke, but it's definitely a solid option.

    A very good friend of mine has been wanting to try Ry's Poke for months, and today was finally the day. We made the drive all the way from Kapolei, enjoying the relaxing scenery along the way. We arrived around 11:20 and, luckily, there was no line yet--though within minutes, people started rolling in. We quickly hopped up from the tables and stood in line so we'd be the first to order. The owner was super friendly, welcoming, and patient with all our questions. We ended up grabbing a few 1/2-lb containers: (2) Garlic Wave Poke and the California Poke. My friend ordered a poke bowl with the Garlic Wave as well--fresh, flavorful, and packed with a nice garlicky kick. The star of the visit, though, was the Tsunami Poke Nachos. It truly had a little bit of everything: creamy crab salad, crunchy pickled cucumbers, shoyu poke, buttery avocado, tobiko, and perfectly crispy chips, all drizzled with chili mayo and unagi sauce. Every bite was a mix of textures and flavors--savory, creamy, crunchy, and just the right amount of spice. Love seeing a small local business thriving, and it's clear why the line forms fast. Definitely planning to come back and try more of their poke selections!

    Lunch in Kahuku, Oahu, Hawaii... I received an email from Yelp, announcing the Top 50 Places To Eat On Oahu. Noticing that Ry's Poke Shack was #23, I decided to take the long drive out to the North Shore. Recently, Ry's Poke Shack opened a second location in Huntington Beach, California. I had messaged my friend, Joe P. to check them out. It's bad if I recommend this place and not try it myself, so... here goes... When you reach The Sugar Mill, go to the left, towards First Hawaiian Bank. Ry's is behind the taco vendor. Service is FIVE STARS! Ryan was there with his wife! I had seen him on Instagram and he is just as friendly in person as he is on Social Media! He's genuinely bubbly and enthusiastic! He was patiently pleasant to every customer! There's a shared, covered dining area with picnic tables and benches. It is outdoor dining with humidity and flies. That's how it is. I ordered the Tsunami Poke Nachos. The pickled cucumber had run out, so I received extra crab salad. It was okay, but the cucumber would probably balance out the flavor more. I personally thought that the unagi sauce was overwhelming. I liked the Furikake, tobiko, and chips! The Poke had a few sinewy pieces. I asked for no chili mayo, so it didn't hurt me. Overall, it was a good experience! I would return and get an ahi limu Poke bowl since I'm more of a savory person! Thanks, Ry, for the hospitality and CONGRATULATIONS on making the 2025 Yelp List!

    Multiple trucks in this location but, we came here specifically for Ry's Poke Shack! Even though all I ever heard was if you go Hawaii, you have to go to Foodland to get poke....naw brah. My 1st time eat poke on island...Ry's Poke Shack in Kahuku! My bruddah told me, you want amazing poke...check out Ry's Poke Shack! So glad we did! Shout out to Ryan and his wife for dishing out freshly prepared to order AMAZING poke! So be prepared to wait a short time while they do their magic! The Aloha we received as well as the Onolicious grinds is unmatched! His wife makes this pickled cucumber...BROKE DA FACE brah!!!! Come check them out! Ryan told me him going to Guam soon and him have a location in California in Hunting Beach area! It was a pleasure meeting you and all the luck and success to you brah...MAHALO!

    Limu

    I can see why this is known to be one of the best Poke. Finally tried it and in Hawai'i too! Yay. Got the Limu regular Poke bowl. It was so good! The cucumbers were crispy and tasty. The crab salad was the best I've ever had (never time I'm asking for more of that) it all mixed really well together. It was a rainy day but service was excelled and got my food and a decent time. Will be trying their other locations on the main land!

    Poke done right. Each of the two poke I had BOTH had a unique taste yet still allowed the ahi flavor to come through which was perfection. Loved the two chefs specials. Lao style was perfectly spicy yet not overpowering. The only critique I'd have was that the added avocado was still a bit underripe but the rest was excellent and the owner is such a friendly guy. I could eat here every day this week

    Lao style poke
    Kay R.

    Stumbled across Ry's Poke Shack by accident when my family stopped for lunch and I'm so glad I did. The staff was incredibly friendly. Owner's wife is Lao and I was offered a Lao-style poke. It was absolutely fantastic: fresh, flavorful, and authentically spicy in the best way. If you love poke with a real kick and a personal touch, this place is a must-try. We'll definitely be coming back!

    The limu (top) and yuzu wasabi (bottom)
    Thao N.

    Super friendly staff! I tried the limu (Ry's recommendation) and the yuzu wasabi. Out of the two, the yuzu was my favorite. The flavor was very refreshing! The combo, price wise, was a bang of your buck. With two half scoops of your choice of poke, plus rice and cucumbers. Also recommend adding the crab salad! There was a long line and the wait time was also long to get your food.

    I'd say this spot lives up to the hype. The poke is very tender and flavorful, and they give you a huge portion, so it's definitely worth it. Just note that after a certain time, usually around 12:30 or so, they may run out of poke. Both of the owners there are very nice and kind, which makes the experience even better.

    Nicholas A.

    This place is still awesome and delicious. Haven't been here for a couple years and this place has not missed a beat. Ry still giving aloha with eat service and does well being personable with all the customers that come through The area to eat can get a little crowded. But not where you can't find a seat nearby.

    Ry's Poke has been sitting on my list for a while and finally I have a chance to try it. It's located at Kuhulu area nearby Da Bald Guy food truck. There're a lot of other food trucks around with many parking lots. I went on Labor Day. I arrived there around noon and there was a long line. The owner was very friendly and attentive. There's a tent and seating area for you to dine in. Food: 1. Tsunami Poke Nachos - 10/10 - The best Poke Nachos I've ever had. The Shoyu poke was very fresh and flavorful. Perfect match with the unagi sauce and other ingredients. You can definitely share this with your family and family because the portion was pretty big. 2. Poke Bowl - 10/10 - We ordered their special of the day which was fresh Spicy Ahi with Otaru mix. It's DELICIOUS!!! Everything was soooo fresh. The crab salad was very flavorful. I should know this place earlier. Overall everything tastes very good. I'll definitely go back more often. Don't miss out this place, highly recommended!!!!

    Fish is fresh and the flavors are solid, but the rice was dry and undercooked--how do you mess that up?

    Located in Kahuku next to Ry's Poke Shack in the SevenBrother Mom's Bakery parking lot area…read more Customer service was amazing. Sugar canes are squeezed fresh on site when you order your drink of choice. I asked for a recommendation on most popular flavor, was told calamansi was a popular choice. If you like more the citrus flavor of orange/tangerine, calamansi is the way to go. For me, not too much unfortunately. At least the cane juice was pungent with flavor and very refreshing. If in the area, definitely recommend giving them a try!

    First time, I highly recommend this place. Soo refreshing and really good, they freshly press…read moresugarcane, and they have a compost bin for the pressed canes. Supposedly the Uncle who was working is a family friend I personally did not know him, but he was really nice and it was nice to see my family catch up with old friends. I ordered the lychee Kane, it was really good. I was debating between this one and the dragon fruit, but I'm so happy I went with the lychee, sugarcane tends to be really sweet, but this one was not so sweet, which is what I enjoyed. This place sit in between the Kahuku shrimp truck and the poke place. There is seating available, but there's only one round table for the sugah daddeh however you can sit at the other tables that are available. Definitely recommend coming here, would not be disappointed. They have so much more to offer than just juice if you're ever in Kahuku, please get a refreshing juice from them!
