    The best poke style dishes on the island

    Do not expect anything fancy, you line up at the counter, decide what you want, get it and pay for it. Then you take it outside to eat it. The fish is totally amazing, any fresher and it would swim away from your dish. When...More

    Poke and Red Snapper

    We got a beautiful 3-pound red snapper, whole fish, to grill. It was already cleaned but the head was left on. We also got poke bowls which we took home to enjoy.

    Certainly not winning awards for its decor, but the poke we bought “to go”, and the fish we took home to grill, were outstanding (we didn’t come for or try the fish truck)! Prices were reasonable, but it’s “a drive” from the resorts, so go...More

    Ok food truck.

    After all the glowing reviews I was left expecting more. As someone in the food service industry the condition of the “truck” left something to be desired. As someone on vacation I decided to look past the condition of the operation and focus on the...More
