Ono Seafood: The Best Poke Spot in Honolulu

A great spot, where I can definitely see where the hype is coming from! Located as it's own store, there's a small parking lot (but it can get full pretty fast), so it might be difficult to find somewhere to park. There is no inside seating (as there's only space for a line), so it is strictly a grab-and-go spot or outdoor dining. I came here to grab some poke before heading to the beach and fortunately, the line wasn't too long. I got the shoyu tako and the spicy ahi and they both came out very fast. The shoyu tako was alright. The sauce was good but more salty then I expected, and the tako was good. It was the first time I tried tako poke, so I wasn't sure what to expect but it was definitely good to try! The spicy ahi was also on the saltier side, but the rest of the marinade was good. The ahi was SO SO SO fresh, I cannot even express. On my whole trip in Hawai'i, I don't think I've had fresher poke. It was delicious. I highly recommend as it's a quick stop and definitely worth the 10-15 minute wait.

Not overhyped, truly a deletable poke spot! So fresh and the flavoring is so good. I got a poke bowl with spicy ahi and miso ahi and the total came out to 17.80 which comes with a drink. I recommend coming earlier in the day when most of their options are available, we came around 3 PM straight out of the airport and they were out of the hawaiian ahi and brown rice. A note to myself: 1. spicy ahi 2. miso ahi 3. Shoyu ahi. All really good but just my personal preference! There was a mixed rating among my group. The portions are pretty big but if you're hungry one serving will do it for you. For girls with smaller appetites sharing one poke bowl was perfect for 2 of us! For californians who are used to californian poke: I recommend getting some toppings to give it some texture, it can be too much fish for some people.

Soooooo delicious and worth the walk to get! We got the poke bowls one salmon and one tuna to sample as much as we could. This was the BEST poke I've had on the island. The fish is fresh and the seasoning doesn't overpower the flavor of the fish. Each poke bowl comes with either one or two flavors of poke, your choice of brown or white rice and a drink from the fridge. We tried the ahi shoyu, and wasabi tuna and the creamy miso salmon. The ahi was so tender and melt in your mouth while the salmon was buttery soft. Of the two the miso salmon was great over brown rice as the rice was able to soak up all the extra flavor. Seaweed salad is always a must! While we might pass on the tuna sashimi as is was leaner and not as silky as the ahi poke.

We were pretty bummed that they were closed for so many days but we got to try it on our second to last day in hawaii! Absolutely loved ono seafood, probably my top 2-3 favorite poke spots on Oahu! Came in early to avoid the lunch rush, and was greeted with friendliness! Ordered the combos, i got half shoyu poke and half spicy ahi. The shoyu poke was a bit saltier than i would like but the spicy ahi poke was amazing. Absolutely outstanding ! Creamy and not too spicy, you can still taste the quality of the fish. Their fish was super tender, and had great flavors! Our other combo was the half miso tako and half hawaiian style ahi. Both were really good, the miso tako was a bit saltier but the actual tako was really good, tender and had a good bite to it. The hawaiian one was good, honestly was more spicy than the spicy ahi. Amazing quality, really worthwhile to come here and try out their poke!
