    Fresh fish. Taste was great! Service was quick & staff was polite. Clean space. Limited parking or street parking available. Came here after going to container land for dried marlin and the owner suggested we check his son's shop out. So we came. My friend had also posted about this place. Happy we made the stop! Ono poke! Reasonable price especially for fresh fish. Will be back again!

    So good!!!!!!

    This place has grown on me even more than before. FANTASTIC and it's saving me a lot of gas in my car because it's right around the corner!!!!!! Listen, this place is so good that there's no need to go anywhere else for fresh fish. They have all the best tasting fish all in one spot with meticulous cuts. It is a fantastic place!!!!! Everyone loves this place !!!!!

    Takeout spot. Delicious and fresh fish can be found here for an affordable price which is RaRE these days... it's in an unassuming area in Mapunapuna surrounded by auto shops, dealerships, etc. if it wasn't for yelp or google I would've never found this place. I tried the Laotian flavor poke bowl. It's pretty good but my favorite is still their chirashi bowl coz that's when the fresh fish flavor could shine. The cuts of the sashimi were amazing, no stringiness and just full of fish fatty goodness. I'd say the quality was comparable to some omakase places! Went in there at 10:30 and I wasn't the only one lol. That gotta be a popular spot! It's such a great spot to stop by when you drop off your car at the dealership. Can't wait to eat there again.

    Stopped by after running around doing errands. Ordered the two choice poke bowl w/ sushi rice , wasabi crunch & hurricane poke. The fish is super fresh and the chunks were cut to perfect size. I like when the pieces are cut on the larger side . I liked the hurricane poke , it is super tasty. The wasabi was nice and spicy.

    Another 5-star experience! I wanted Poke again and went back to Souza's for a Spicy Ahi Poke Bowl. The sides are consistently good, and their Spicy Ahi Poke is unique - I can't put my finger on it, but it's different from other Poke places I've tried. The texture is smoother, fish is fresh, and there's some kind of umami that hits the tastebuds soooooo good!

    This place is a hidden gem! Don't blink while driving down here or you will miss the tiny parking area they have. They do have a couple of stalls in the front but other than that it's street parking. That being said, the garlic ahi poke and Souza Special I had were delicious. It was fresh and the perfect amount of rice to fish ratio. We also called in our order while on the way there and it was ready to go by the time we got there 10 mins later. The shop is clean and bright and I will definitely be back again.

    Decided to finally give this place a try after seeing it a few times when driving by. All the fish here is Sooooo fresh. The flavors are all on point. Parking is small in front but there's some street parking. You only come in quick anyways. Great costumer service and they threw in some miso soup for us and it was a rainy day so it was perfect. They're awesome. They can torch the fish if you want, I had them torch salmon because I'm pregnant. Yeah sad I couldn't fully enjoy it but I am definitely coming back for the little nibbles I was able to taste. I'm already hooked. Lol They also got come little desserts in the fridge for purchase and cute hair clips I was so tempted to buy. Hole in the wall spot glad we found it.

    Can't beat it. It's a walk up place for takeout, and they have the most fresh cut fish that melts in your mouth. Everyone is very nice there. Parking is tough, but sometimes you can just have someone drop you off and run in and then run out!

    I was craving poke nachos and came across Souza's Fish House in Mapunapuna. Although it was a bit of a drive to get there, I was determined to go based on all the 5 star reviews. And let me tell you, it definitely lived up to all the hype! This is a little hole -in-the-wall in an industrial area. There's only a few parking spots in front, so you'll need to find street parking if you're not one of the lucky ones. Upon arrival, I was greeted by the friendliest employees! I ordered the Poke Nachos (2 choices) for $20. I chose the Shoyu Ahi and the Hawaiian Salt Ahi. I asked if they could separate the poke from the chips since I planned to eat it later on, and they kindly put the poke in separate containers so I could keep the poke cold in my fridge. When I finally dived into my poke nachos, it was so delicious! I combined everything together and it was one of the best poke nachos I've ever had. The fish was so fresh and they were generous with the poke portions. I would highly recommend this place for poke, and I will definitely return soon to try some of their other items!

    Souza's Fish House is a hidden gem. I finally, got a chance to stop in. It's located in the Mapunapuna area. Parking can be challenging but it's worth the wait to find one. Staff was very friendly. As busy as they were, they manage to greet us as we walked-in. This place is for takeout orders only. We had the Hurricane Bowl and the Spicy Ahi Bowl. It looks like the proportions are small, but the dish was deep and had a generous amount inside. I gotta say it was super flavorful and tasty with the crab salad on the side. There was a seasoned cuttlefish on the side which was superb. All their fish is served fresh. That's what makes it sooo good! I will be back to try other items on my next visit.

    Fish was amazing! Super fresh melted in our mouth with every bite lol. By far the best Fish I've had on island in many many years. Had the Souza sashimi, perfect combination of fish, 12 pieces with sushi rice. Also had Da House special poke and their ginger poke waitress fresh and amazing. My wife had the porque bowl and it did not fail. Services was great It was my first time there a girl upfront was super helpful and made our selections for us. Lol. Parking is super limited, and the order area is super tiny.

    Souza's is a hidden gem for fresh sashimi and poke at a great price. Located in Mapunapuna in the old Kau Kau Grill location, the shop is suited for takeout and probably gets busy during lunch. They offer a variety of sashimi donburi as well as fresh poke, and what really stood out for me was the quality for the price. You can get their "Souza Special" don which includes ahi, chutoro, otoro, salmon, hamachi, and ikura for $27. That is the higher end of their selections, with other combinations of fish being cheaper. My favorite of this combo was actually the chutoro, which was extremely soft and had the perfect amount of marbling. The otoro was on the firmer side but was also excellent. I also got some spicy ahi poke to try, and it had a nice depth of flavor. The freshness of their fish really shines through. Even the sides that come with each bowl are elevated. I especially loved the crab salad and their homemade taegu, which used the more stringy type dried fish and had a sauce that tasted like honey gochujang. While waiting for our food, I saw that they also offer sashimi platters, custom sushi cakes, and a poke nacho bar that can be hired to pop up at events. Prices were on point too! Come here for super fresh fish that outdoes many of the more popular spots.

    Food was yummy! Service excellent. Greeted and provided with suggestions since it was our first time. Parking could be tricky but would totally come back for more :)

    We visited this restaurant recently and had a mixed experience…read more When we arrived, the sign on the front door directed us to go around the corner to the entrance on Ualena Street. After walking around, the hostess asked if we had a reservation. I gave her my name, but she said we didn't have one, even though the restaurant was nearly empty. She then explained that our reservation was actually at their sister restaurant around the other side of the building. We went over there and found that it was primarily a sushi restaurant, which wasn't really what we were looking for. We had expected more of an izakaya-style experience, so we canceled the reservation and returned to the original restaurant. Once seated, the service was good and our server was attentive throughout the meal. One thing that was a little confusing was that sushi and sashimi had to be ordered from the sister restaurant, even though we were dining in the other restaurant. The food was brought over and served to us without any issues, and there were no problems with the bill, but it took us a while to understand how the two restaurants operated together. We ordered several dishes, including chicken skin wrapped gyoza, crab tempura, an assorted sashimi platter, a cream cheese and fish roe appetizer served with toast, an egg dish topped with fish roe, chicken karaage, and the miso butterfish. The highlights for me were the chicken karaage, miso butterfish, and gyoza. I enjoyed them enough to order another round of the gyoza and chicken. That said, many of the dishes leaned toward the sweeter side of Japanese cuisine, which just isn't my personal preference. If you enjoy those flavors, your experience may be different. Overall, the food was good, the service was solid, and there were a few standout dishes. The confusion with the reservation, entrance setup, and relationship between the two restaurants got the evening off to an awkward start, but the meal improved once we were seated. I'm not really a Japanese food person, so four stars is probably the highest rating I could realistically give a Japanese restaurant. With that in mind, I thought they did a good job, and there were a few dishes I would consider ordering again.

(2/5) The burger - the patties had too much filling and not enough "burger". I got the side salad instead of fries and it's just green leaf lettuce, a little wilted, withe house dressing, and the dressing is not great. Desert slices are small and cost 8.50-13.00 (go down the road to Liliha Bakery instead) Vanilla Caramel Crunch cake - there wasn't a real "crunch" and the caramel layer in the top is way too thick. Chocolate cake - too dense Mango cheesecake - too tart

For the poke bowls, we got the Spicy Shoyu Ahi, Furikake Salmon, and Ultimate. Overall, they were pretty good and decent bowls. I liked that there was a condiment bar at the end to add any toppings you wanted. The fish was fresh and well seasoned, with no fishiness at all. I just wished there was a bit more white onion for crunch, but it was good regardless. The Fish and Chips were really good. The fish was super crispy, the meat was firm, and the fries were nicely fried. The tartar sauce or maybe more of a lemony aioli, was the star. It wasn't your usual tartar sauce; it had a homemade lemony sweetness that made it delicious. My only complaint was that the batter came off the fish pretty easily, which made it a bit tricky to eat at times.
