So good and amazing service! Can't wait to try all the different poke and the nachos!

Amazing poke! I've tried many poke shops around the island, and this is hands down the best fresh poke I've had. My personal favorite is the Yuzu poke--it's packed with flavor and incredibly fresh. The poke nachos with wonton chips are also a must-try. I'll definitely be back to sample the other flavors. Another huge plus is that they stay open until 6 PM, making it easy to grab fresh poke for dinner. Highly recommend checking them out! read more

I gave this place another chance because I was so confused that my experience seemed so different from many others. I stood in line and asked the friendly female what gluten free options I could have. She told me any of the poke could be substituted with tamari. I was in disbelief since that was not what my daughter was told when she bought my poke previously. The cashier was so nice she even went to ask the kitchen to make sure. I was delighted so I ordered wasabi yuzu and spicy Hawaiian. I also ordered the ahi dip without the won ton chips since I can't eat it. I brought my food home and dug into the poke. The fish didn't taste fishy like my previous experience. The spicy Hawaiian was just short of being just right. There were hints of this would be so yummy if.... But I don't know because I'm definitely not a poke expert. I just felt like it needed a little more flavor. The spicy heat was just right for me. Now I think I may have confused the cashier because at first I wanted yuzu wasabi and limu but I changed it to wasabi and spicy Hawaiian but I got the spicy Hawaiian and limu. Cause I didn't taste any wasabi. I like limu so it's fine. There were no veins this time. A little too much onions for my taste, but I'm always picking out the onions in my poke. The ahi dip wasn't to my taste. It's a little too fishy for me and the rest of the family wasn't into it either. I'll definitely return knowing I can have more choices of poke. If you are in a rush, don't be. It takes about 20 minutes for your order. Go next door to Jugo juice and have some of their samples and buy some juice. I was glad I did. read more

Ry’s Poke Shack - Spicy Hawaiian and limu (gluten free) - Poke Near Me - Urban Honolulu, Hawaii

Who knew Lao style poke was the thing my life was missing? Or was it the FoodxJitsu style? Nah. Hands down it was the whole Ry's experience I needed because it revealed the full potential of poké and now I don't think any other poké experience will ever measure up. On the mainland, poké often starts as lower quality fish that's overly sauced, and excessively topped to give it flavor and texture. It bears almost no resemblance to that which you find in Hawaii, which makes me sad, but my experience at Ry's revived my palate for the real deal. FoodxJitsu with the bite of fresh ginger, the brightness of cilantro, spicy crunch of raw onion and chili flakes, and the surprising pop of ikura was an absolute home run. Lao style was the surprise though. Birds eye chilis bring the heat (and I should've asked for more) while the fish sauce brings a salty umami that's incredibly delicious and different than that of shoyu. The mayjah with two choices is a solid meal and one that certainly won't leave you wanting for more. They also offer poké by the pound, so you can take your favorite home and share it or pack it in a picnic. Overall HIGHLY recommend! read more

Shiso good... Finally here at Ry's Poke Shack and let me tell you this place was certainly worth the wait though I don't think that I'll wait too long for my next visit cause I need to try my second and third choice as they all sound just so amazing. I've been having mad cravings for poke but not your standard and felt a bit more bougie this shack has it for you either on a bed of nachos style, bowl with rice or salad or just straight up by the pound. I really wanted a bowl but the option to have it on a salad actually was really nice and refreshing along with their sesame dressing oooooo it was gone as soon as I took a pic of it lol got a shoyu poke for mom as she's been craving them too it just looked so fresh and delicious as it was made just right. Although the space is very small they worked it quite well with a few tables for those that just need to get started along with a fun an creative accent wall the whole vibe was very vibrant along with their staff so friendly and helpful with any questions parking though can be though but is free and we all do appreciate the convenience. Poke can be enjoys so many ways and here they also have many variations as well. Thank you! read more

The place was small but super clean. I got the hot shoyu (one choice) with an extra order of crab salad. The poke was fresh but the fish was a bit warm and the hot shoyu sauce didn't cover all of the fish pieces. I know it is made to order but for the lunch rush ... it might be better to make a batch of it so the marinated sauce could sit for a little bit longer. I will definitely come back again and try a different sauce. read more

Ry’s Poke Shack - Hot shoyu poke (one choice) over rice with an additional scoop of crab salad - Poke Near Me - Urban Honolulu, Hawaii

Came here for the first time. Ordered the 2 poke combo with their recommended What's Crack'n sauce poke and the Lao Style poke. We also ordered 1/2lb of their Shiso Chimichurri poke. All the pokes were fresh and full of flavor. I honestly thought the Crack sauce poke was the least favorite of the 3. The Shiso is more of a Korean base poke, and the Lao was a like oyster style poke and spicy too. They are very limited in drinks so if you want to drink something particular, bring your own. Overall, pretty decently priced for the portion and quality that you get. Staff is friendly and fast. Parking is small and horrendous so good luck lol. I would leave your larger vehicles at home. There are very limited tables so prepare to be able to eat outside in your car or drive to the mall or beach. We got lucky to have a table open up for us when our order was ready. read more

Congratulations on the town location! For townies like me, it's a hard trek out to Kahuku location for Ry's poke. It was my favorite for a while, until I stopped being able to go often. Ry and his wife are always super friendly and have plenty of aloha. Unfortunately, didn't see neither of them this time. Small cozy location next to Jugo life. Parking can get a little difficult depending on the time. Order and they text when it's ready. We got the Tsunami nachos ($23.95), which came with wonton chips fried in beef tallow (yum), tsunami style poke, 2 scoops of crab salad, cucumbers, tobiko, and some spicy mayo sauce, punish, and furikake on top. We shared it, and it was a nice snack between 2 of us for lunch. Fish was very fresh and buttery smooth, however I wish the poke was more flavorful. A downside is that I felt there wasn't as much fish, so the wonton to poke ratio was off. My favorite was the Lao Style poke, which I didn't get this time but that one had so much umami and perfect kick! Would more likely come back again to try some of other Honolulu exclusive flavors. read more

Amazing poke at Ry's Poke Shack!!! Just had to try RPS after hearing sashimi-grade ahi featured here. We knew it was in Waimanu Street near Ala Moana Center so off we ventured. There's a parking lot with a limited number of stalls. Luckily we got a space after a short wait. We joined a short line of eager customers; great hungry minds think alike lol. This gave us a bit of time to read the menu and consider our choices. We both went for mayjah 2-choice poke bowl, which includes cucumber namasu. Two special flavors that day: shiso chimichurri and yuzu wasabi (I tried this one - it was ono). Poke is made to order. Could not resist adding crab salad +$2, so glad we did. There are 3 tables for dine in, which allowed us to savor our high quality poke bowls and to soak up the RPS vibe. Loved the mural! Many customers in line out the door when we left. Definitely plan to be back to try other flavors!!! read more

I've heard so many great things about this place. I've never been to their Kahuku location, so I was happy when they opened a location in town. I finally got to try it! It's a small shop with four dine in tables. Majority of the people ordered and took their food to go. My hubby got a two choice poke bowl with shoyu and limu $23.95. I also got the two choice bowl with Foodxjitsu ($4 upcharge) and What's Crack'N $27.95. I got a canned Diamond Head soda $2.50. Their bowls come with cucumber namasu. The fish was extremely fresh. They have great flavors. The Foodxjitsu tasted exactly like the ginger onion sauce they serve with ginger onion chicken. The What's Crack'N sauce was like a chimichurri sauce. Both flavors are exclusive to this location. The only problem I had was that they were a little skimpy on the amount of fish that they gave. read more

Lunch in Honolulu, Hawaii... When I found out that Ry's Poke Shack had a Honolulu location, I was super happy! I've been to the Kahuku location - and that's a drive! Uhg! I was thinking of visiting the Huntington Beach shop, but probably would go to the Pasadena one first... maybe next month! Anyway, if you ever get to meet Ry, he's a very friendly and personable guy... just look at his Instagram posts. He's very sincere and down to earth! I really want to support his efforts and his small local business! So... this Honolulu location shares the same parking lot with Hangang, a Ramen shop, a juice store, and a tonkatsu restaurant. It's very busy! I didn't want to pay $6 an hour for parking, so I did takeout even though there are three small tables inside of the cozy shop. Tip: go early... before they run out! There was a line when I arrived before opening time of 11:30am. The guy at the cash register was very efficient and the line flowed smoothly! There were two other guys in the kitchen and they were moving as quickly as they could! I got the Tsunami Nachos and took them to Ala Moana Center to devour. I just needed air-conditioning, free parking, and somewhere to sit in peace. I'm glad that I was with no one i knew because this is a messy dish. I had a glove on my hand so that I could just grind! The crab salad, tobiko, cucumber namasu, and tsunami style poke on the super crunchy wonton chips is winnahs! Add the unagi sauce, Furikake, and chili-mayo drizzle for a kick... and bam! Whoa! Da buggah mean! Broke da mout! In other words, this dish is quite unique and delicious! Try it! read more

The line wasn't as bad as the previous days, but it took about 40 minutes from when I got in line and got my order. They take your name and phone # after ordering. You will receive a text message when your order is ready. I also grabbed the wrong order and thought they called my name. I walked back to my office and opened my bowl before I realized it, and when I got back at the store... they had my right order. I felt really bad but the workers were nice about it. Overall it's the usual price for really fresh poke. I got a crack n sauce which is a Honolulu special and a half pound of the spicy ahi. It was good, their fish is really fresh, and their flavor offerings are interesting. They also don't skimp out on portions - I got full off of half of my poke bowl. Minus one star because for some reason, the taste was a little underwhelming. I had spicy ahi before that was bursting more with flavor. But I'm giving the benefit of the doubt and would go back again for another chance. I also want to try the other flavors! read more

If I could give more than five stars, I definitely would!! I tried Ry's Poke Shack when they only had their Kahuku location. I live in town, so I'd rarely drive up to the North Shore area. But their poke nachos were so good, I'd try to stop by when I get a chance to come up there. When I heard they were opening up a location in town, I was ECSTATIC! I was finally able to make it down there on 5/28, but was worried they were sold out. I've been keeping tabs on their IG and they've been selling out almost daily! I called the number listed on Yelp and Ryan answered. He was super friendly and personable! Assured me that there was still poke left, so I got there as soon as I could. Lots of parking and space was clean! I got the foodxjitsu and what's crack n sauce and my bf got the shiso chimichurri and yuzu wasabi. ALL flavors were sooo good! My favorite has to be the foodxjitsu if I had to pick. The fish was so fresh. I hate stringy poke and Ry had none of that. The poke was high quality and melt in your mouth. Easily the top place to get poke - I'd say the quality of fish at Ry's beats out Ono's, off the hook, maguros, etc. It was honestly so good that I had to order another half pound of spicy ahi. Sadly, they were sold out of the poke nachos though. But the portion sizes were HUGE! So good thing they were sold out of the poke nachos, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to finish everything. I'm definitely coming back soon to get that though. You can tell Ryan really cares and enjoys what he does! Literally the definition of Mr. Aloha. He takes the time to get to know all his customers and makes sure they're taken care of. Can't wait to come back! read more

I have not made it out to Kahuku for the original location so I was excited to hear they were partnering to open a location in town. There was a line before the shop opened but it was good to see the owner talking to people. Very nice, down to earth guy. There are a limited number of small tables inside so be prepared to eat someplace else. The staff was working hard to get orders out and the order taker was friendly. It took around 20 minutes to get my food so keep in mind they make each order fresh. Since it was my first time I went all out and got two types of poke and paid $2 more for crab salad. For my poke choices I wanted a plain, traditional one to taste the quality of the fish so I got Limu and got the Lao Style since it sounded unique. The limu was a very good and solid version. I could taste how good the fish was. The Lao style has garlic, fish sauce, Thai chili peppers, cilantro, shoyu, onion, and green onion. This was unlike any pike I've had before in terms of flavors and it had a good amount of spice without being overpowering. It was nice to have the limu poke to take a break from the heat haha. The namasu (pickled cucumber) was good and solid version was the crab salad. I now understand the hype over this place and glad I finally got to try it! It would be nice if the cuts of fish were a little more uniform but overall the freshness and taste are worth the price. read more

Finally Ry's Poke Shack opened in town. They're soft opening at this moment. There's a parking lot, I believe the first hour is free. Service is always good and efficient. The store is small but they have 4 tables for us to dine in. Menu is the same as Kahuku location but they have 2 exclusive pokes which are Foodxjitsu and what's Crack'n. I order 2 choices poke bowl ( spicy ahi and What's Crack'n). Oh my god! The fish is really fresh and well marinated. Their crab salad is also outstanding. Everything is so delicious. I'm sure I will go more often now since it's convenient. read more

@fortunefoodfinds: "O-FISH-ally in town! RY'S POKE SHACK opened its 2nd HI location next to JUGO LIFE near Ala Moana. Their soft opening took place this past weekend n' you know I had to check it out. Got the Tsunami Nachos that comes with tsunami style poke, 2 scoops crab surimi, n' all the works served on fresh house fried wonton chips + ordered a Mayjah Poke Bowl with Spicy Poke n' Lao Style Poke. It's been awhile since my last visit to their OG Kahuku spot. Now that they're closer to me I can get their ono eats more often than not!" SERVICE: friendly, considerate, n' fully staffed INTERIOR: small, limited seating EXTERIOR: next door to Jugo Life WAIT TIME: after the store opened, placed order in 10 mins. Then received food 10 mins later. PARKING: lot gets filled up quickly OVERALL COMMENTS: it's a hit or miss each time I go up to Kahuku to be able to catch them when they're open, so when I found out they were opening in town it was the best news! Was immediately welcomed in line n' provided status updates during the soft opening. Once the line opened, it moved fast n' they were busting out orders. The nachos were fully loaded, saucy, n' huge enough to share. The poke used was shoyu made into a tsunami style, which was yuMmmy. I L.O.V.E. that they now use wonton chips, elevates it to the next level. The Poke bowl was bigger than I expected, guess that's why it's called mayjah. I liked the crunch from the fresh onions in the spicy poke. The Lao style poke was definitely spicy, but surprisingly I really enjoyed it. The poke was so fresh n' all well flavored. The cucumber namasu had a nice tang n' was a good cool down. So glad they now have a spot in Honolulu, congrats!! read more

Burrrruh!!! That poke bowl was boss!!! Pounded the whole thing. Poke is on point! Fish is the star, sauce not over powering in any sense, onions hit sweet, the chilis and cilantro kill it. Crab salad is mento!!! Straight mento!!! Namasu is super refreshing, unlike other people's I've tasted when they add too much sugar, salt, vinegar. Add too much you add too muchie! Bro even the rice is a sleeper...ifykyk! You know you're eating top shelf poke when it's not covered or soaked in sauce. If you like that kind of poke just put shoyu and sugar on your rice, cuz you not tasting the fish anyways. If you're for real about your poke drop in and try this place. If you like fish flavored rice then keep hitting up Safeway sucka!!! read more

Ry’s Poke Shack - Shoyu and Thai poke with crab salad and namasu over rice. - Poke Near Me - Urban Honolulu, Hawaii

First time going to this location as I'm usually hitting up the OG spot in Kahuku, but it's just as good, if not better. I got the poke nachos because I was extra hungry today and as usual, it hit the spot. The nachos are given the beef tallow treatment which is awesome to me. Normal nachos don't get that treatment but Ry's nachos are a cut above. The namasu (pickled cucumber) is off the hook too, and I'm picky when it comes to that. Of course, the poke is always incredible with the crab salad on top. I've had a lot of poke living in Hawaii and Ry and his family have been #1 since they opened up and I don't see that changing anytime soon. Go check out their Huntington Beach location if you're in Cali too! Hopefully they keep expanding and spreading the love! Maybe Vegas next Ry? read more

I ordered the tsunami poke nachos from here and they were SO GOOD! They are very filling so I would definitely say be prepared to share with not one but two people. They are served on a wonton chip which I thought might've gotten soggy but they maned to stay crispy even through a 15-20 min car ride and with all of the toppings on it. Be aware that they are in a small parking lot with minimal parking but there is street parking and they are across Ala Moana shopping center and another shopping center. So definitely options for parking. read more

This has got to be the best poke in Hawaii! Quality of the fish is amazing The poke is made to order, so it's not sitting in the sauce for hours like other places. The crab salad is so addicting My go to for poke ! read more

First off. I chose to come here because of the "made to order" style of poke. The simple fact they the ahi isn't premixed and sitting around is enough for me to continue coming back. What really hooked me and reeled me in was the overall quality. You can taste just how fresh the poke is. If you can sit there and tell me that it's the same as other shops in the area, you're sadly mistaken. The attention to detail is pleasing, and the staff is open to receive feedback and takes it as constructive criticism and doesn't just write it off. I love the system in place. There's an automated text sent when your order is ready so there's no need to lurk around and wait. The area was clean and welcoming. The menu is clear and any questions I had were adequately answered by the staff. They even offer gluten free options which aren't readily available at other places on the island. Come to this place if you value quality. I promise you that you won't be disappointed. I highly recommend coming by at opening. Other patrons tend to sit in their vehicles and wait it out so it may appear there isn't a line. But I assure you, it is worth the wait. read more

Went during the grand opening, so no idea how long the wait will be normally. Guy at the counter was very friendly and the food was ready in about 5 minutes. The poke nachos were amazing--the poke itself was great, the wontons were super thick and crunchy (did not get soggy taking it home to eat), and there was lots of delicious crab salad. One of the best dishes I've ever had from a poke place. Very limited seating indoors, and the parking lot is quite small and shared by several businesses. Some street parking is available, and it's also close enough to the mall that you could park there and walk across the street. read more

I've been following Ry's since unkoholics started having their oio at the Kahuku location but I never got to try their poke cause I never made the drive out that way so I was so excited to see them open up a location in town! I live in Ewa but I made the drive to town just to try their poke and Daym was I disappointed -_- the place wasn't busy when I got there and I was able to get a parking easily (we got there around 2, the recommended time according to their IG) and the place is a cool little spot. Comfortable with cold ac and inside seating. But right off the bat, red flags... while I was ordering, I over heard the cashier tell someone that they ran out of napkins lol. I get it, they just opened but napkins??? Walmart and Sam's is right up the road, send someone to go buy napkins! lol. There was like four ppl in the kitchen. Surely one of them could have stepped away to get napkins. Anyways that wasn't even the worse part, the spicy ahi -_- cringe! I've had poke at lots of places and the closest comparison is have is Aloha Sushi spicy ahi lol. It tasted watered down. There was no depth in the flavor. Like a watered down Alfredo sauce! Everybody knows how it's supposed to taste and this was not it! Sorry to say. I had the spicy Hawaiian and somethingXJITSU and my son had the spicy ahi and my son couldn't eat it either.. not only was the taste in the spicy ahi and spicy Hawaiian missing, the spicy Hawaiian had too much raw onions and not enough fish -_- bruh. The jitsu one was loaded with fish and the flavor was different but ono. But yeaaa the spicy ahi.. we honestly ended up just throwing it away and I hate wasting food! Especially raw fish and especially when the two choice bowl cost me $30 but it was just that bad. Maybe it was a bad day? But I won't be wasting my money there again. If you can't get the spicy ahi right, not worth it. read more
