So freaking good!!! Literally melts in your mouth. You can taste the freshness. Love that their fish is local, fresh and sustainably caught. I don't think I've ever eaten a half pound of poke so fast. Should have gotten the full pound. One of their specials was the yuzu wasabi and that absolutely smacked. Will definitely make this a must stop every time we venture up to the north shore. read more

If you want authentic, high-quality poke, Ry's Poke Shack is a must-stop. The fish is incredibly fresh, perfectly cut, and I absolutely love that they have such unique poke flavors you don't find everywhere else. We actually got to meet the owner, Ry, and he is a really great guy - awesome, friendly service served with genuine aloha spirit. Fun fact for anyone on the mainland: they also just opened up a brand new location in Huntington Beach, California! Incredible flavor, awesome portions, and easily sets the gold standard! read more

Ry’s Poke Shack - Lao Style & Firecracker - Seafood Near Me - Kahuku, Hawaii

We came here in November 2025. We saw it on YouTube and wanted to try it. The couple was friendly. The area was nice too, it was a vibe. We ordered the super spicy one. Night marcher?? I forgot what it was called but whatever the spiciest dish was, we got it. It was damn amazing. The best spicy poke dish I've had! I crave it and i wish I bought some before I left. Regrets If you can handle the spice. Worth it! Will go back if we ever visit again. Might try to Cali location read more

Ry's Poke Shack is top tier poke. If you want fresh fish and flavorful sauces lomi'd fresh to order, you gotta check out Ry's Poke Shack. It's definitely worth the drive out to the Kahuku Sugar Mill. Here you can get poke bowls, poke nachos, poke salads, and poke by the pound. For the poke bowls and salad you can get either a regulah (1 choice poke) or mayjah (2 choices of poke). It comes with the cucumber namasu but be sure to add on a scoop of their crab salad! Their garlic wave and lao style poke were two or my faves. The Lao style has a kick with Thai chili peppers and loved the fried garlic bits! If you're trying poke for the first time, you gotta try the sweet ginger shoyu. The poke nachos here are next level, it's like a beautiful mess with all the right flavors and textures. Don't miss out on this North Shore gem! read more

Another go-to spot for poke. I've been coming here since before they blew up and the quality has never changed, even with the long lines. Ryan and his wife are always so kind and truly give off the best version of Hawaii to everyone that visits. I usually get the two choice poke bowl with Spicy Hawaiian and Garlic Wave, and sometimes switch it up with the Rys Ponzu. I do wish the Kahuku location had more consistent hours since it's closer to me, but the food keeps me coming back and you always have to keep up with them on instagram for updates. read more

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... read more

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. read more

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! read more

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! read more

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! read more

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 read more

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! read more

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. read more

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. read more

Ry’s Poke Shack - Poke Nachos - Seafood Near Me - Kahuku, Hawaii

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!!!! read more

Visited this spot a couple times only for it to be closed. But not yesterday! I was fortunate to be off on Presidents' Day and decided to pack up the fam and take the journey to the North Shore and that hope Ry's was open. Well , well, well, guess what....Ry's is open! Now I can finally try the poke that I've been reading about and watching others eat at this place. It took me about 10mins to get to the front and place my order. Braddah Ry was very friendly and as a first timer, he asked key questions to get an idea of what kind of poke to recommend me. So he offers me something not even on the menu! I was like, Whaaaa??? Explained what was in it and said if you like spicy, like really, then you'll like this. I said, give me a half pound of that and I'll take a poke bowl with two other choices, Limu (gotta have my limu) and the Garlic Wave. He threw in some pickled cucumbers and a scoop of imitation crab poke. I waited an another 10mins for my order, which wasn't bad considering how busy he was. He called my name, I walked up to the front and he assured me that I will like the off the menu poke they made me. He said it's spicy but I didn't want to go overboard since he didn't know my tolerance for spicy food. He asked me"Chopsticks or Fork?" I asked for two chopsticks, in case my kids like try. He said I'll give you a fork too, just in case you like pound this plate. Mah Man! As soon as I opened up my plate and container, took couple pics, it's was all she wrote. The poke here was Ono! The "off the menu" poke was winnahs!! Braddah Ry, I appreciate you taking the time to have small talk with me and recommending the Night Marcher. I will definitely come back. Hopefully it's on a day you're open. I wish you nothing but success with your shop here and in Pasadena. Mahalo! read more

The fish is so good and fresh. Quick service too! Very nice people and at the truck there is lots of seating nearby, and loved the vibe. I tried the Hawaiian style poke bowl. So amazing. It had a touch of spice and i'm genuinely craving it now. Unfortunately I think all poke bowls are ruined for me because this was the best one i've ever had. Thank you so much Ry's Poke Shack read more

As always another great foodie experience here! Everything is delicious, fresh and flavorful. Also, they are so gracious with the serving sizes! Worth every penny spent! The staff is kind and it's such a chill vibe. If there's a long line, don't be discouraged! The wait is worth it. read more

Came here after seeing a TikTok of a guy who came off his flight straight to the north shore for this poke. Needless to say, it was well worth the drive. I spoke with the owner and told him it was my first time and he recommended poke that LA natives usually love. The bowl was incredible and was one of my highlights of the trip. The fish was seasoned well, crab salad was good, and the portion was worth the price. Overall: I would definitely recommend this spot. The service and food is awesome! read more

Ry’s Poke Shack - Regular poke bowl - Seafood Near Me - Kahuku, Hawaii

Ry's Poke Shack is off the beaten path and away from the concrete jungle of Waikiki. Yes they are located at the old Kahuku Sugar Mill and there are other trucks there. They are located on North Shore so it takes a bit to get there. The Poke Shack is easy to spot even though it's located in the back. After ordering it took about 5 minutes to get our food. Service is top notch, quick and down to earth. Ambiance is a food truck park and there are plenty of picnic tables everywhere. I ordered the Firecracker bowl. It came with both ahi (tuna and nairagi (striped marlin). Food, taste, and texture is everything and then some. This is one place you want to make sure and visit. So ono (delicious) and filled with a ton of character. Can't say it enough. Book your flight! This is definitely a destination place to satisfy your poke craving! read more

Just bumped into this place after stopping for restroom. The owner is very friendly and chatty. He is very nice and kind and made suggestion of what I can choose from. I ended up got a small poke bowl with ahi tuna and limu sauce and added a scoop of imitation crab meat salad. It is a food truck setting but his truck is well decorated, with all the Netflix series mention. There is a sitting area with umbrellas which is right by his food truck. The food was amazing and so yummy. So so good! Love the line sauce if u do not like spicy like me. read more

Incredible poke and staff. This husband and wife duo are very hardworking and provide the freshest poke in the Kahuku Sugar Mill food truck location. The fish is very fresh and so flavorful. If you don't know what to order just get the shoyu poke bowl. The poke nachos are also great. Personal fave is the kabayaki poke with rice - it also comes with pickled cucumber and imitation crab salad. Very friendly, sometimes there are long lines, but it is well deserved and worth the wait. There are plenty of picnic tables ot choose from in the area to sit and eat, or take it to a nearby beach park. Cost is around $15 a plate. read more

Flew in from Maui after seeing all the amazing videos on social media with the super ʻono looking poke. I can say that I have no regrets whatsoever and it went beyond my expectations. Not only are they completely exemplifying the aloha spirit, super welcoming with great customer service, but the poke was incredible!! It's not just an ad on social media. They really are super nice and the fish is super fresh and the flavorful. I got the big poke bowl to share with my wife. We got the garlic wave and kabayaki shoyu style with the crab salad. Was mean! If you in the area, I know get plenty of food trucks to choose from in Kahuku, but you gotta try Ry's! It's even worth the drive out to north shore even if you staying in town because it's clearly worth flying from Maui for it :) Mahalo for the awesome food and service! Keep doing what you're doing! read more

This experience was just WOW, and not in a good way. We got there on a Sunday just before 12:30 and there was a line of maybe about 10 people. We didn't think it would take long but boy were we wrong. It was a 40-minute wait just to order. We ordered the Tsunami Poke Nachos (fresh shoyu poke, sweet onion, sesame, avocado sauce, chili mayo, unagi sauce, furikake, green onions, crab salad, pickled cucumbers, and tobiko). This took another 15 minutes. I don't know if they were just backed up or maybe they were cutting up the fish back there, but they mentioned they had just reopened and this was their first day back. So maybe that's why it took so long? On top of the long wait, it wasn't even good. They use basic store-bought tortilla chips, it was just way too much sauce, too little poke/tobiko, and too much crab salad. I guess they needed the crab salad as a filler. And it costs $29! Maybe their poke bowls are better? I won't be back to find out though. You're better off getting yourself some Foodland poke. read more

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

This place is legendary, was featured on Netflix, and so good that even the other food truck owners say you gotta go here. There were a lot of signature bowls but the owners recommend the do-it-yourself custom creations. Service is solid, ingredients are fresh, and portions generous. It's a food truck stop setting so lots of parking and seating in a fun atmosphere. Ry's is located against the Main Street between the taro hut and a good drink place. We really liked the poke nachos. The kids did too. Would recommend getting anything here if you're a poke fan and to give it a shot if you aren't. read more

Ry’s Poke Shack - Poke nachos - Seafood Near Me - Kahuku, Hawaii

Food truck area near Giovanni's Plenty of parking, porta potties are clean and have running water! Friendly service, takes maybe 5-10 minutes because as Ry says, everything is made to order. I would expect it to take a bit longer if it's a busy day. Now the poke flavoring is phenomenal. Tons of flavor, lots of garlic, perfect amount of sweet and salty. Mayo wasn't overpowering at all either. The pickled cucumber had a nice acidity to cut down on the flavorball of the poke. The best thing is, the rice is good too. It's plain white rice but it's not too soggy/soft, not undercooked. I've noticed my previous go-to poke spots are TOO SALTY even with rice. Rys is PERFECT. A nice accompaniment to rice, but just as delicious without it. 12/10 coming back for sure. All my go to places have been downgraded. I hope they don't change their flavors when they get even more popular read more
