    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!

    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.

    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!

    Go early if can, otherwise Poke selections may be limited since it's so ono! This place is consistently busy and I know why - their poke is delicious and the sides and chefs kiss . At first I had a bit of sticker shock, but their sides definitely make up for it and the fish is absolutely fresh. Definitely would go back. No seating inside, takeout only.

    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 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.

    Cyndy's Bottom Line: The best fresh high grade fish for sashimi and poke. *A few spots up front and street parking *Credit cards accepted *Online orders for pick up https://www.souzasfishhouse.com *Hours: Sunday - Monday: CLOSED Tuesday - Saturday: 10:30 AM to 3:00 PM *Assortment of ono poke made fresh daily *Sashimi donburi, poke bowls and poke nachos, and sushi cakes too. *The sashimi donburi of otoro and chutoro is so onolicious. Generous portion, and good orice point for high grade toro. *Catering menu available +Highly recommend +Friendly and attentive service

    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 :)

    I've been hearing a lot of great things about Souza's Fish House, so I had to stop by and finally try their poke bowl and it definitely lived up to the hype. Parking in the area can be a bit tough, but there are a few stalls right in front of the shop which helps if you get lucky. Just looking at the poke selection, you can already tell the quality is there. I went with a two choice bowl with Hurricane and Maui Onion Crunch. The bowl also came with crab salad, taegu, and sushi rice. The fish was incredibly fresh honestly some of the freshest poke I've ever had. Both flavors were excellent, and now I'm already planning to go back to try more of their unique options. The only thing I'd change next time is getting regular rice instead of sushi rice, since I'm not a big fan of the texture and sweetness, but I'm still glad I tried it. Souza's is easily one of the top poke spots on Oahu in my opinion, and definitely worth a visit if you're a poke lover.

    It took over the old Kau Kau location. Parking is limited over there. The place is clean and the workers are very nice. I ordered the amaebi and very reasonable price and the Souza's special. The fish was so fresh. It melt in my mouth. So worth the price. Planning to get a platter for my hubby birthday. Go check them out.

    What makes up the chirashi bowl.  So fresh

    Wow for a little fish house in Mapunupuna this place is awesome! I honesty believe if you don't expect much you won't be disappointed, ha ha I really need to rethink that philosophy. Seeing several check-ins on Yelp then reading the reviews I've been trying to get in but couldn't get there early enough to be assured parking or a fully available menu. Since they're closed Sunday & Monday I felt Tuesday would insure everything would be at its best. I arrived at 10:00 just at opening and scored one of the two parking stalls fronting the business. Walking in it's very small inside...no tables, strictly takeout. I was first in, placed my order for the Fish House Chirashi, half pound of Shoyu/ginger Ahi poke and half pound Spicy Ahi. Waiting for my order to be put together a duo of HPD officers came in wanting to order but were unsure. I was impressed that they were able to try several different pokes and the owner Ryan told them they could make it spicier or less spicy as they wanted. That's good to know. So I took my lunch home and ran off to finish my morning errands. About 1:00 I grabbed the Chirashi and a pair of chopsticks, opened the box and started eating the best sashimi ever! Loved the sushi rice, the scoop of crab salad, the tasty condiments and both the ala carte pokes which I actually bought for g-son Wes who said the same thing I said.....tastes like it just came off the boat. I recommend this place, I'm sure it's busy during work hours in the industrial area so get your orders in early. They're only open 10:00 to 3:00. Wish they were here when I worked in the area.

    Takeout lunch from Mapunapuna, Honolulu, Hawai'i... Souza's Fish House popped up several times on my Yelp app as a Hot New Business. I was curious, drove over, and found free street parking since the stalls in front of the shop were all taken! This is a cozy, clean, takeout only place. The cashier was efficient and pleasant! I ordered the Trio Deluxe with Otoro, hamachi, salmon, ikura, and akami on a bed of sushi rice and decorated with an imitation crab salad, wasabi, takuan, and a konnyaku/gobo salad. The fish were fresh and firm. The imitation crab salad was a bit odd and the sushi rice was inconsistent - soft, in some places and a few harder grains of rice in other places. There were spots of plain rice and some areas had more flavoring. I might return for the chirashi bowl or a sushi platter. We shall see...

    $6 poke on the side.
