    Some of the best poke I've eaten! The name of the restaurant stands true because the poke we ordered all tasted very fresh: not fishy at all. The pastele fries were delicious, and the garlic chicken, I believe, to be the best garlic chicken I've ever had. I'm sensitive to garlic and it wasn't too garlicky for me. Service was friendly, and there was plenty of parking when we got there about half hour after opening on a Saturday.

    The salmon poke was too sweet and it covered the taste of the fresh fish. I tried some other flavors and they were all pretty good in general though. If you just want some poke you can ask for a bed of leaves or something in addition to just rice and your poke. The parking lot here is pretty small but should have a good in/out flow because this place is takeout only.

    What a great local find!! I typically like to eat and support local when traveling and I would go back to Fresh Catch in a heartbeat. The lady behind the counter was super friendly and answered all our questions patiently, even with a line forming behind us. The food (Poke bowl & Ahi tuna salad) were very fresh and flavorful. Highly recommend ⭐️

    There was a line when we went but the line moved pretty fast. You can order what you want on the menu or you can make your own poke bowl. The poke bowl is charged by the weight. It was a bit pricey for some reason(maybe they weighed the bowl with the white rice in the box...). I love the variety of poke that they have. My dad ordered garlic chicken. It was ready in 10 minutes. Garlic sauce was very good. My brother had poke bowl with hawaiian flavor and shoyu flavor. I dare you try the firecracker poke. It was spicy(I can eat very spicy) and so good!

    I ordered the garlic chicken on my last day of vacation after not even wanting any more chicken on my trip. I have them a try because they already had good reviews. It was worth it. I couldn’t finish it but I saved it for later and the food is solid. One thing to note is that there location on Apple Maps is incorrect. The Google Maps location is correct even though there under construction and server out of the best type of kitchen anyway (food truck).

    If you find yourself in Honolulu, make a stop at Fresh Catch. I ordered the Firecracker Ahi (Tuna) Poke and it was absolutely amazing. Also, ask for a side of rice and it will be a great Lunch or Dinner. It’s spicy, fresh and most importantly it’s delicious! (No dining, order pickup or to-go)!

    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!!

    Best poke Oahu has to offer!! The people working there are awesome!! The place is as clean as a fishy place can be. Room to eat inside and limited parking so and always packed. Should tell you something about the place already

    Just heads up- no seating available. I was not impressed with my fried fish. Though the portions were super generous. Apparently it's a must visit place but I've been to more worthy places on the island.

    They do have an authentic Hawaiian style poke. You cannot enjoy all of the great choices by visiting only one time. You should go there at least twice or more lol

    Fresh and cheap. Cheapest I’ve found so far. They do have some more flavours to choose from compared to other places. Shoyu, pricy, fireball, lumi etc. It is a bit away from Waikiki but next to Leonard’s bakery so you can walk down here to buy your lunch before you head back to the beach. Take out only.

    4.5 stars? Spicy ahi katsu definitely 5 stars. Huge portion, fish is delicious, very fresh. Sauce on it is delicious too. For poke: spicy Ahi is fresh, pretty decent. Not a huge fan of the salmon, I don’t think it’s local, little bit more fishy. But honestly I can’t eat only ahi and nothing else. Come the second time, ordered their beef stew, so good

    This poke was so fresh, so tasty, well priced and honestly, the best we’ve had on the island! We ordered the tako and the spicy ahi. We went close to closing time and the lady gave us a container of spicy salmon FOR FREE since it’d go to waste otherwise. The funny thing is we liked the spicy salmon best! Overall, super friendly staff and amazing poke. 100% stop here for a lovely treat!

  • 3/5 Leslie S. 2 years ago on Google
    Not sure how we spent $40 on 2 poke bowls, 2 small scoops each. I think there was an error and they forgot to tare the scale when the rice was added, or when they added second poke to container. The Poke was ok, and a lot of people talked about how it was good for the value but I didn’t think so. Will go to Ono next time.

    Triple D led us there, and as always was not lead astray! Thanks again Guy!

  • 5/5 Israel M. 2 years ago on Google
    Best fresh seafood I ever had was here! Highly recommended.

  • 5/5 Paul Y. 1 year ago on Google
    If you’re a hungry boi, I’d recommend getting two scoops of rice and three types of fish. It’ll net you almost $25-30. But wow, the smoked tako and Hawaiian blends were amazing. Tried other flavors of tuna from my friends and they were all great. They don’t have the extra toppings and frills (like veggies), which is the downside if you’re looking for that kind of poke spot.

  • 5/5 valeria p. 1 year ago on Google
    Food was incredibly good. We wish we tried it days before and not on our last day on the island so we could go there again! The people in there were super nice as well. I’d put more stars if possible!

  • 5/5 Lisa P. 1 year ago on Google
    Parking can be tight but the fresh fish makes up for it. Ahi katsu is our go to item but you won't go wrong getting their poke. They have a wide variety so you'll find something that fits your taste.

  • 4/5 Echo V. 1 year ago on Google
    I wish I could've spent more time with the other items here. Lots to choose from but one can only eat so much. I had settled on the seared furikake which is a take on fresh ahi, seared perfectly on the edges and sprinkles with furikake. It comes with Japanese mayo and rice. The food was soo good I couldn't enjoy the taste bc I ate like there was no tomorrow. Don't do what I did and respect the fish. Savor it and definitely stop in for some fresh fish.

    One of the best poke places on the island! They let us sample the flavors and the service was quick. Super flavorful and would definitely recommend salmon poke and garlic ahi. Hawaiian and spicy flavors are also decent

  • 5/5 Chad M. 2 years ago on Google
    Just had Fresh Catch Hawaiian blend ahi poke for the first time and I feel like it changed my life. Soooooo good I can't really find the words to describe just how awesome it is.

  • 4/5 Mark D. 9 months ago on Google
    Food is incredible. Poke was amazing, and the coconut shrimp was likewise dynamite. Of the two employees I interacted with, one was friendly and the other was somewhat difficult. There were also no trash cans to throw out empty containers. Parking is also super tight, and they close early (5:45 for the kitchen!).

  • 5/5 S M. 5 months ago on Google
    Love the fresh seafood and the reasonable prices. No tables to eat there and a little bit hard to get to. They do have a small parking lot.

  • 5/5 Brian F. 8 months ago on Google
    Seared ahi and hawiian style poke were amazing! Atmosphere was lacking and the employee behind the counter was not very helpful but all was forgiven when I ate the food!

  • 5/5 Kestutis P. 2 years ago on Google
    Amazing, fresh ahi and mouthwatering coconut shrimps! Highly recommended
