“Hands down the best poke we had while in Waikiki. Our Uber driver recommended it and it did not disappoint. Reasonable prices too. Just a heads up, only take out and no dine-in when we went (mid-January). There’s no outside area to eat either. So just be prepared to take it with you. Well worth it!” – Chelsea S.

“Pupus was fantastic and unique. Definitely more than enough to share. Nachos had a unique combination and were super tasty. Dynamite shrimp was great and so was the Boca rota. If you are looking for a nontourist spot with decent prices, look no further.” – John H.
