We made a special trip to the Fish Market based on TripAdvisor's crazy great reviews. There were a lot of superlatives tossed out there like "best fish tacos ever" and "must try the wrap." C'mon, let's simmer down on the madness and tell it like it is: This place is a really cool, out-of-the-way, small, local fish market that serves... More

Although this place is only take-out (with tables outside to eat at), you will find the best fish tacos on the island. Fish is sooooo fresh, and changes daily depending on what was caught, and the other taco ingredients are equally as fresh. A definite stop on your tour of the north shore.

Set in the back of a small shopping plaza, this place is simple. We had the best food on the entire island here! Great service too!

We had some great meals on the island, most of them 2 or 3x more expensive than The Fish Market but this was handily my favorite. I had the fish (ono) wrap and it was spectacular. My wife has the fish tacos which she also really enjoyed. We came back a second time and got the same meal but also... More

We both enjoyed our fish burritos. I had Ono and my husband had seared Ahi. It's a very local place. Has a nice eating area on the patio. The girls working in the place were aloof and indifferent. The free water was really good. Ice cold with limes, I think.

We read reviews all over the web, and Kilauea Fish Market lived up to what we read. I had the fish tacos ($12.99) and my husband had the Korean bbq chicken platter ($10.99). Both were just a little overcooked but still really tasty. The sauce on the Korean bbq chicken was really good, and the plate came with rice and... More

Don't bother eating on the main drag of Hanalei, head towards the Kilauea Point Lighthouse Wildlife Refuge and eat here instead. The prices are a little high but the great food and relaxed setting more than make up for it. The fish tacos are great, made with Ono or Wahoo which seems to be the thing here. You get two... More

During a 6 day stay in nearby Princeville, we visited the Kilauea Fish Market three times, twice for lunch and once to get fresh ahi to grill back at our condo. Each time, it was wonderful. Our kids enjoyed the teriyaki chicken plate, and we loved both the ahi burrito and the ono tacos, which were fabulous. Large portions and... More

We stopped here for lunch on our way to Hanelei and it was great. It looks like a dive but the food is quite delicious and fresh. I had ono tacos, colleagues had veggie wraps and ono wrap. Everything was fabulous! The only problem was that they don't serve any beverages, or at least they didn't the day we were... More
