Everything here is good. Yes you have to wait in a long line sometimes but totally worth it! And no, it's not a restaurant, make sure you find a good beach or nice tree to sit under(or plan to take it back to your room)before you pick-up This is what us locals eat. ONO!!! more

I live here in the Koloa/Po'ipu area - and I think that some folks might be kind of confuzzled because this is NOT a restaurant - it is our local fish market that happens to have some good plate lunches also for take-out - no place to eat - not fancy, not meant to be fancy. Just incredibly fresh fish... more

I stopped there for lunch and had`the poke bento lunch about $4.95 and a sashimi plate also about $5. Both were great!! Sashimi at Hanalei Doplhin was $17 and the sashimi here was better! It was so good I got more for dinner. If you like Poke and Sashimi, do stop by & get some and take to the park... more

Before going to this place ask yourself the following question: Am I the type of person who enjoys the adventure of checking out small, out of the way, unadvertised, mom-and-pop places preferred by locals? or, do I feel distracted/grossed-out by eateries which are tiny, unpretentious, unmaintained, holes-in-the-wall? If you are from the latter group, don't even consider this place. You... more

Koloa Fish Market is a small, nondescript carry-out only local fish market. They also do lunch plates. I saw more local Hawaiians there than tourists, which is always a very good sign. We had the Korean Poke (raw ahi tuna in sauce and seasoning) - utterly incredible. My wife, who has NEVER eaten raw fish in her life (I've tried... more

My husband and I shared a kalua pork and lau lau pork plate lunch. It was so good! The poke was fabulous as was the lomi lomi. It can be a little intimidating to order, but they were patient and fast. No room to eat here, but find a little bench and you are set. Great food! more

Found on tripadvisor. Three ladies behind the corner were great. Had many many choices for good plate lunch. All came with rice, mac. Greatest deal on way to Poipu with the best taste. We stopped grabbed it to go (only way you can take it as the the place is big as a closet) BUT great food and value. Had... more

I'm not much of a sushi person so I was a little unsure. But, with the prompting of my daughter who had read such great things, we got box lunches for the beach. The poke bento is unbelievable! Don't expect a fancy place, but the food is wonderful! more

The lunch plates are fabulous. We went in to buy poke and decided to try the combo lunch plate... It was so good we went back and bought 3 more plates for dinner. It's just the right amount of food ... not heavy, very tasty... We will be back for more... more
