Our waitress at dinner suggested Fish Express so we decided to stop by today. It's really a local take out place. Think of it as a deli back on the mainland but instead of selling deli they sell fish. Cooked, raw, jerky, salads. We got ahi tuna and crab, seaweed salad, some type of fish jerky, potato salad, cooked fish(it... More

We returned to Fish Express for their ono poke. We had it on our last trip, and we had been missing it for all this time. Their poke was very fresh and nicely prepared and at a very reasonable price. You won't disappoint.

This place is close to the airport. Locals come here as well as tourists for their fresh fish and dishes. We had the ahi, salmon, and marlin poke, which we enjoyed greatly. Once we came at the end of the day and wanted some poke. The owner made and mixed it fresh for us,

Ordered chicken and shrimp. The shrimp looked and tasted like seafood, but the chicken is a mystery to me.

This is a plate lunch place. Food was great. Fish was fresh and done very well. We also had some smoked marlin and some ahi poke. There is no seating, you order, get your box and off you go. Down to the beach or to your room and enjoy

This place can be a little sketchy looking, but once you're inside you will see all the great stuff they have to eat. It was probably one of the best macadamia encrusted tuna dishes I have ever tasted. Portions are enough for two. As close to fine dinning presentation you will ever have in a to-go container.

It is not a restaurant, it is a take-away only. We picked up poke for take-away a couple of times while staying in Kapaa this past Feb. Everything we got there was extremely good. The hot plate "specials" on the chalkboard looked very interesting and appetizing. Unfortunately, the kitchen closes at around 2:00 and both of our stops there were... More

Here is your first stop from the airport. Directly across from Walmart, pickup all your fresh fish, plate lunches and the best spam masubi on the island. They carry several kinds of poki including Korean, Hawaiian, Tako and many more. The seafood salad is great and you can't go wrong with any of the daily specials. One stop shop!! Yummmm~!!... More
