    Combo plate
    Kevin W.

    We went to our favorite Hawaiian Food restaurant Young's Fish Market located in the Dillingham Plaza. In addition to their Famous Hawaiian Food. They make some of the best Chinese Roasted Meats on the island. They make Char Siu, Chinese Roast Pork, and Chinese Style Char Siu Ribs. Today we got one of their Pork Laulau's and some Char Siu Pork, and the Chinese Style Roast Pork. The Char Siu was roasted to perfection sweet and savory. Their Chinese Style Roast Pork had that delicious crispy skin on top and tender meat underneath with just the right amount of seasoning. Service was great we got in and out very quickly. They have a small dine in area, most of us get Take Out. Delivery service is available. Definitely recommended

    I've been to Young's Fish Market for Hawaiian food before, but it's been a while, since the Dillingham area is usually off my beaten path. This is why I was so glad to see them newly listed on Uber Eats. I've enjoyed their laulau, but I've been reading about how great their beef stew is, and I love a good beef stew! I had made up my mind to order a plate, then while browsing the app, I saw "Buy 1, get 1 free" next to the Beef Stew Plate. Many of the folks at our office are small eaters, but I thought of one coworker who might enjoy and be able to finish a stew plate. I offered it to him and he gratefully accepted. I placed the order at 9:47 am, and the two hefty plates arrived at 10:04 am. I don't recall any of my delivery orders arriving that fast before. The big clear plastic bag contained: * two covered plate lunch containers with two scoops of rice each * two larger containers of stew * two smaller clear plastic containers of mac salad * two each of plastic spoons and forks * napkins I handed my coworker his share and I proceeded to eat mine while the stew was still hot. The plate lunch containers had empty space intentionally left open, with the scoops of rice on one side. This would allow folks to pour the stew into the plate to eat with the rice. This time around, I chose to eat my stew with the spoon, and occasionally scooped some rice into the gravy. I've never had stew meat this tender, enough so that I could just about cut it with the plastic spoon. There was a good balance of potatoes and carrots. It was delicious. The gravy was somewhat dark, not the reddish/orange color at some other places. And I never enjoyed mac salad as much as I did today. At many plate lunch places, mac salad is a filler, sort of a rice extender. Young's didn't resemble the macaroni-and-mayonnaise-looking mixture which passes for mac salad at some other places. This one had texture, carrots, bits of green, and perhaps some onions. As for my coworker? He said: - Raymond, thank you so much for lunch. That beef stew was awesome. I demolished it right away. The potatoes and the carrots were super soft, which is perfect and the meat was super tender. I'm thinking of ordering Hawaiian food next.

    I haven't been here in a while, but I always love this spot. I try to come on Wednesdays because it's the only day that they sell oxtail laulau. Their oxtail laulau is the best laulau ever. The combo plate is too much for me. I usually get the oxtail laulau $21.75, two scoops of rice $3.25 and a half pound of squid luau $7.50. Holy smokes, I can't believe a pound of squid luau is now $15. It's heavy, so you don't even get that much. As I already stated, their oxtail laulau is the best. It contains a good 3-4 small pieces of oxtail. My husband didn't want one, but after tasting mine he wanted to get his own. I love squid luau and like it on the sweeter side. This one wasn't sweet, so I just added my own sugar. It was also a bit watery and didn't have enough coconut milk. This place is always packed during lunch hours. Trying to find parking is a pain in the behind.

    Turkey tails, Mac Salad and Butterfish Lau Lau served Tues and Fridays (kalua pork and Kalbi from Helena's)

    Came to Young's twice this visit to Oahu. They have the best Lau Lau with the most choices. Got their Butterfish lau lau with side of mac n cheese and turkey tails. Pork lau lau and Big Al's on our second visit. Fish was tender and sweet fish flavor. Pork lau lau is just da bomb home cooking. Mac salad hit the spot and the turkey tails... OMG so savory and fatty goodness. They offer counter service and then you can sit inside to eat you food. Plenty of other food options and ways to order. Ala Carte or combo plates. Casual homey atmosphere. Wife ordered Big Al's Bento which was two meals for her. good choice if you want to try a little of everything. For sure will be back

    Some of the best local food on the island. It's always our first stop after we land. The Lau Lau plate is my favorite. Food is ready instantly and everything is fresh.

    Counter & Menu

    Located in the City Square Shopping Center next to Utage Restaurant and across of Kamehameha Bakery and Ube Bakery is Young's Fish Market. Went in to grab some Hawaiian food and I decided to choose Al's Bento which comes with a mini Lau Lau which is mini, kalua pork, 1 slice sweet potato, Lomi salmon and 1 scoop of rice or poi. The mini pork Lau Lau was more than 1/2 fat hardly any meat. It was moist but you need to hunt for the meat. The sweet potato was good and steamed right. The kalua pork was okay and the Lomi salmon was mostly Lomi tomatoes. I asked if they had chili pepper water which normally they have a container on the counter, but he said it will be .26 cents for a 2 oz container. My wife ordered the Kailua pork plate with rice and she ate less than 1/2 the plate. Lot of new faces, don't know if same owners since Barbara & Allen passed away times have changed and the cost of doing business has also changed a lot and the mom & pops are having a hard time keeping up with the rising costs.

    Small spot with mostly takeout business, but also some tables and chairs to eat at. Poke and chicken were excellent as was the prices with aloha service. Free parking in their lot for an hour, or street parking.

    Lau lau is huge. But regular plates are big as well. Hawiian plates are a little bit pricey but they give alot. At least it had lots of pork. Tasty. Go and try it. Good food

    The bento with a laulau on the side.
    Drew W.

    If you know, you know. Hawaiian food specializing in varieties of lau lau. You can also get kalua pork, pipi kaula, lomi salmon, chicken long rice and other local favorites. Poi and kulolo not always available so you gotta ask.

    Hot Laulau availability
    Vina P.

    Safe to say the laulau here is da biggest da largest. Da biggest da largest - wise words by Bigxthaplug The lyrics are something like that. Amazing good quality food across the board. I've had every single type of Lau lau here except for the chicken and veggie. The laulau here are da biggest, da largest. Pork laulau - 11/10 Perfection. Big, hearty, and tasty. Butterfish laulau - 8/10 Love butterfish? It's worth the splurge. Available on Tues and Fri only. Oxtail laulau - 8/10 Summer special only. If it didn't break the bank, I would come every Wednesday four times a month cuz that's the only time you can get it. Cut it open and you'll find tender soft oxtail with the bone in it. Please don't bite without looking for the bone. Please make smart decisions. The sign that says oxtail laulau is $13 each is wrong. It's $21.75 each. Squid laulau - 10/10 BREAK DA MOUTH Veggie laulau - available frozen only Chicken laulau - Great for those who prefer to skip pork, beef, and fish. Turkey tail is such a comfort food. My hubby always gets it on the side. They got plenty sides that pair well with laulau. Like chicken long rice. Or get a stew. Yes, you can get a side stew for $15. No judge me, Kay? A lot of people dining in were enjoying the plate lunches and poke bowls. You can also get your choice of fountain soda to wash it all down. Perfect for dining in or out. There are a couple tables for dining in against the windows and walls. It's truly good local food that hits the spot. Service here is on point and friendly. You tell them what you want, pay for it, wait nicely on the side, and enjoy the food after. Remember to bring your aloha and empty stomach. Happy yelping!

    Veggie laulau are frozen $9 each (butternut squash, sweet potato, carrots, tofu)
    Milton K.

    Big Al's bento is my go to order so I don't fall asleep while working. Side order poi & Loni salmon. 5 Stars app gets me an additional hot laulau. On a dreary Thursday before the lunchtime crowd Young's Fish Market food hits the spot especially as the family heads to snow country for Winter Break. Service is fast and friendly. It's clean in their blue collar throw-back dine-in area. So nostalgic. Time to grind!

    TL;DR Fantastic…read morepoke. Manoa represent!!! ----- Off the Hook Poke lives up to the hype. There's a constant line out the door filled with locals and tourists alike. And for good reason. Off the Hook delivers consistent, high-quality poke bowls (trays?) in the heart of beautiful Manoa Valley. I've been coming to Off the Hook since it opened way back in 2018. While the prices have steadily increased, the delicious poke has remained the same. For poke bowls, you have several options to consider: 1) Mini or regular size 2) Rice option (white, brown, sushi, or green salad) 3) One or two choices of poke At this point I've tried almost every one of their poke offerings, and they are all fantastic. You cannot go wrong with whatever you choose. However, I'd say 95% of the time I stick with the Cold Ginger Ahi and the Spicy Ahi. These are guaranteed hits. I also really like the Wasabi Furikake Ahi. Lastly, makes sure you load up on their free toppings! Masago, tempura flakes, and scallions. Yummmy!

    Originally posted 7/24/2024: This little Manoa poke shop…read morestorefront always has lines snaking around the block, but not today, so I couldn't resist finding out what all the hype was about. Off the Hook advertises auction-fresh ahi, which distinguishes it from other poke joints that use previously frozen fish. Since I was a first-timer, I opted for a sampler: 1/4 # of each of the following: Shoyu Poke, Kilauea Fire, and the signature Cold Ginger Ahi, which my friends have been raving about. All three were good and seasoned perfectly: just the right amount of sauce. My favorite, hands-down, was the Cold Ginger ahi, which pays homage to the Cantonese ginger-scallion sauce served over chicken, and not oily: wonderfully fresh grated ginger in this! Shoyu was also on point: nice sweet umami sauce. Was actually expecting much more spice in the Kilauea Fire, which had a mild chili flavor. Miso gave it depth and richness, making the sauce gochujang-like in flavor. Arguably, the only downside would be the price point: 1LB= $33.99 1/2LB= $16.99 1/4LB= $8.49: expensive, but excellent-quality product, and definitely fresh, with melt-in-the-mouth fish.

You get to choose your own sauces, and they were perfectly balanced with just the right amount of salt and umami- some poke places can be overwhelmingly salty, but not here. Every bite left me wanting more :) My only minor critique is that I would've preferred a slightly higher poke-to-rice ratio. That said, the quality of the fish more than makes up for it, and I'd happily come back again. A medium and large bowl came out to about $32 with our selected toppings. There are a few outdoor tables around the corner, but I'd recommend planning for takeout. Parking is also very tricky in this general area. Overall, super yummy and refreshing lunch option!

They give you a hefty amount of rice and poke with every bowl; I always have some left over every time and their poke flavors are always SO amazing, regardless of what combination you choose (although, I would recommend their Gingah and Spicy Shoyu together). Although I love their bowls, I would absolutely recommend getting their pound of poke deal. You can divvy up the weight of poke any way you want, so usually my husband and I get a quarter of a different flavor poke and just make our rice at home--the only downside to doing this is that you don't get the fun toppings (furikake and crunchy mochi). Also, just a disclaimer, their space is extremely small with limited bar-type seating, so plan to take your bowl/food to go if you want to be comfortable. The only reason why I'm docking 1 star is because unfortunately, some of their toppings are a little too expensive to add on for the amount that you get. Other than that, Ryder's will not disappoint--I promise! I always recommend this Poke Shop to all of our visitors and I'm not stopping now--try Ryder's out if you're in the area!

While you're there, it's worth browsing the store too- they have lots of cute Hawaiian souvenirs and gifts. A great spot to grab a quick, affordable snack on the go!

    Good for a quick cheap bite. What I didn't prefer was the differences depending on location. I was…read moredisappointed at the one near Royal Hawaiian. The salmon, tuna, or chicken and mayo ones had barely any stuffing. Disappointed and felt cheated. I specifically asked the member at the register if the item was stuffed with the contents. Their answer, "yes." Nope - barely anything inside. If all you want is rice, seaweed wrap, and a dab of the meat on top. You're good to go. The issue was I had the same thing at other cafe's and was filled nicely.

    This small unassuming shop led to the best poke that I've ever had in my life. Ty was the one who…read moregreeted us and scooped our bowls. I chose the Yuzu Shiso Ahi and Limu Ahi. Both were "slap yo mama" level onolicious poke. Everyone in my family loved their poke and we are already planning our next visit. Ty was also graciously offered to let my son get an upclose glimpse into their kitchen as they were preparing their fish. You can feel how much this shop cares about their food just through speaking to Ty. Please, please open up shop in San Diego and give the other well known shop in SD a run for their $$$. THIS is how poke is done.

    10/10. One of my favorite poke shops. My bf and I love to recommend this place to our mainland…read morefriends. Parking is tight and limited in front of the shop, but it's totally worth it. You might be able to find street parking on King St. or just carpool with friends. When you walk into the store, there's glass display cases with poke and other foods. There's cooked fish, dips, musubis and side dishes too. I like to get the Yuzu chiso ahi and the spicy ahi two choice poke bowl. You can choose hot rice or sushi rice on your poke bowl, but I always recommend sushi rice. I always order with my eyes, so I can never finish my two choice poke bowl. I save it for later as a late night snack, cause the poke is too good to waste. The store is super chill and has a local plate lunch takeout vibe? The cool part is the open kitchen. You can see the staff working while you order. Everyone is chatting and having a good time. It's a welcoming atmosphere.

    I had to taste the poke to believe all the hype around it and OMG, the 5 star reviews are deserved!…read more This poké is amazing in a sense that the sauces are amazing and handmade (and it shows) and the fish is so fresh, even at the end of the night! I love the options of poke bowl, poke nachos, and poke by the pound. I do recommend skipping the rice bowl and just buying them by the pound and that way you just get the full essence of just the fish and the taste! Service was fast and I loved how this place was conveniently located inside the Ilikai hotel, where I'm staying because it's just an elevator ride away but also great for anyone not staging at the hotel and walking by since it's right around the corner from the front entrance.

    Came late at night and the service was amazing. The cashier got our orders down and made our poke…read moredishes ASAP. The fish was super fresh. One thing I want to highlight is the service! Typically, I like a salad base. I forgot to say earlier because they had already stacked my bowl with the sushi rice base, but I asked the cashier if I could get a salad base with unagi side sauce instead. They were accepting and said they could stack the salad on top. I didn't get the unagi sauce in the moment, but I wasn't upset either because I enjoy salad without sauce too. To my shock, they remembered I asked, found us, and brought it out to our table! 20/10 service, 20/10 poke
