The poke at this place is the best you'll find on the island. We had already purchased some poke at the deli at KTA Market (which was very good) and decided to see what they had different at Da Poke Shake. Alot of the same fish and sauce combinations, but what we were really impressed with was the veggie poke... More

We ate here several times on our trip to the Big Island. Every time the variety and fresh flavors were total winners. Eat in or take out.

Fresh poke, fresh fish, and good prices. We picked up the rotisserie chicken as well and we're pretty sure it's the same one from Costco just at nearly double the cost. Just stick with the fish poke. No place to eat inside but there is a picnic bench right outside. This place is perfect for bringing takeout to the beach.... More

Went here twice while visiting as it was right in the parking lot of our condo. The first time I tasted and ended up buying fresh smoked swordfish. The second visit with my son and husband we bought the lau lau (steamed pork and butter fish in taro leaves) and chicken ( a huge half ). We bought a lunch... More

This place in not close by all of the resorts on Alii Drive, you have to drive out (too far to walk) a little farther but definitely worth it. The poke is fresh and so good. I had the shack special which was great. I like a good shoyu poke but this had a sweeter flavor and I like that... More

Went to this "shack" with only reviews,( and good ones at that), in hand. And we were not let down. Never having eaten poke before the gentleman serving us was kind enough to let us taste a few different varieties so decide. All equally delicious! We had marlin instead of ahi that day-a little less expensive per bowl. The sides... More

Da Poke Shack is tucked away in a condominium parking lot & a little difficult to find...you really need to be looking for it! That said, make sure you get there way before closing time. Once they are out of certain poke, they're out. Many different poke dishes, need to experiment to determine which flavors you like. At $10.25 p/... More

My husband and I visited the poke shack twice. We had some mouth watering poke and I am hungry just writing about it ! The service was quick and efficient but expect a line up because it is that good! This place is easy to miss as the sign is small and it is nestled in the condo complex. Do... More

Seriously Amazing Food. We got the Avocado Aioli and Spicy Ahi with the crab meat and Kimchi Cucumber on the side. It was so good we drove from Captain cook again the next day to try some more. Also the Luhi Luhi Chicken was huge and so Roasty and Delicious. Wish we had good Poke like this back in Fl... More

ONO! Big mahalo nui to my hula ohana for recommending this place. Sooo good. Lines are long but we didn't mind waiting. And parking lot is small but we got in before the lunch crowd.
