Hi Wendell! We love poke and have to eat it when in Hawai'i bc it's the freshest!! We learned just how fresh when we checked out the Honolulu Fish Auction!! Mahalo for your support!!
It's abundantly clear that there is an appreciation for tako poke here. Tamashiro Market will on occasion (call first) make a "local" tako poke that is my absolute favorite. They use local caught tako so it is pricey but there is nothing to me, that compares. I hope that you can try this tender version of your addiction! Good luckt.
Us + tako = ❤️. Thank you so much for this pro-tip on Tamashiro Market for 'local' tako. Definitely going to have to check in with them to see when they offer it. We're willing to pay a little more to compare what 'local' tako tastes like for sure. Thank you for stopping in and sharing your favorite poke protein!! We appreciate you!
Great poke tour! For those who aren’t familiar with poke in Hawaii, make sure to always get the FRESH poke. The cheaper, previously frozen poke is not going to be nearly as good.
Hi Sam! We've managed to visit a few spots that get their fish fresh from the Honolulu Fish Auction as well ones that source it themselves from the local fisherman. Definitely cannot get it any fresher than that!! We visited the Honolulu Fish Auction (not sure if you saw our previous video on it) and learned a lot about the fishing industry in Hawai'i and have an even deeper appreciation for those that work so hard so we can stuff our faces with that amazing poke. Thank you for stopping in!!
Matter of tastes. I love the cheaper version in Foodland , which is the previously frozen kind, the Hawaiian an the secret spicy for me are the best. Every time I have the fresh ahi version I find it too slimy, again, everybody is different
Hi piwits! Completely agree everyone's palate can vary. We definitely don't discriminate against Foodland's previously frozen kind as it's also very good and nice on the pocket too!! Will definitely go check out the Hawaiian and the Secret Spicy versions the next time. Thanks for stopping by and sharing your favorite poke!!
Aloha Michelle & Jose! Awesome poke video! I am lucky and live 5 mins away from a Tamuras. I love their poke, pickled garlic and pipikaula! I also love Alicia's Market and like you said, it's nice to pair the poke with another protein. Tanioka's is fire too. You're so disciplined there for only getting 3 things! Some people spend $50+ just by picking all kinds of stuff and get carried away LOL. I think real poke is "light" with just Hawaiian salt, limu, sometimes onion, inamona, green onion or shoyu. People started to add sesame oil, then furikake, and then it gets a little out of hand with all kinds of sauces. I do like the ginger onion type poke, but the rest drowned in all kinds of sauces is a bit much for me. I guess I'm a boring purist. 🤣 Mahalo for your hard work putting this video out! 🤙
Hi Misty!! This was such a fun and filling video. We've only scratched the surface of spots...you know that never ending list.😂 We've never had the chance to try pipikaula but have seen it a couple of times in the poke section so definitely going to give it a try on the next one. Yes Alicia's other proteins are so ono too. It was a tough battle to just walk into Tanioka's and just get the 3 things as you know they have so many amazing eats to pick from besides poke. Absolutely nothing wrong with simple poke as long as the fish is fresh!! Thank you as always for your support!!
Love your VHO7V (Aloha Revolution hats and shirts). Watching this at 9:30am is rough....by the end of the video I was so Poke hangry! Mahalo for sharing this amazing video.
Hi Stacie! Stocking up on gear from VHO7V is a must for us. We love the meaning behind it! We hope you can get your poke fix soon. 😋Thank you for your support!!🤙🏼
Watching you guys Eat when cannot decide What to Eat...Gets me Hangry!-lol. The upside to that i live w/in walking distance of Both Foodland/Tamura's Markets. José...re:kukui nut...condiment not often found in most local retail markets, as it's a Bit $$$$. Plus, FYI...Use Sparingly because the oil content in the edible "meat" is High & Too much inamona can cause diarrhea!
Harry you're lucky you're so close to both Foodland and Tamura's. Both great spots to pick up eats. We had no idea the too much inamona can cause diarrhea!! 😮 We always wondered by its not found in more poke spots but since its a pricier ingredient we can understand. Hope you were able to figure out something to eat!! 😃
Hi Tim!! Definitely one of the perks of remote work is the ability to work from anywhere!! Hope you're doing well and loving all the buffet and eats in Asia!!😋
Cold Ginger Ahi is the best! FYI, growing up, poke was always a side dish and not a whole meal. Wish I was back home to eat real poke! BTW, you were very close to a place called Waioli Kitchen & Bake Shop. Great scones and other goodies. Their breakfast is also excellent. Directions from Off the Hook, keep heading further into the valley on East Manoa Rd., but take the first left on Lowrey Ave. Go to the end of Lowrey where it intersects with Manoa Rd. and Oahu Ave. Waioli is straight ahead, but you have to turn left on Manoa Rd. I've been to all except for K Bay Bros. I think they are relatively new. But, mahalo for sacrificing yourselves to make this video! ;-)
Hi Marvin!! The Cold Ginger Ahi is AMAZING!! There's nothing that compares to poke in Hawai'i. Like no other! Waioli Kitchen & Bake Shop is on our list of spots to check out especially since its been around for over 100 years now. Such a rich history and definitely some good looking eats like the baked goods. Definitely check out K Bay Bros the next trip back home and let us know what you think. P.S. We forgot to ask how your recent trip back a month or so went. Hope you, your daughter, and her fiancé got a chance to visit Waffle and Berry and got to eat other ono grinds while back!!
@@michellejosefoodandtravel Since I always go to see my mom everyday in Palolo Valley, going to K Bay will only happen if I'm in that area. But it is on my list of places to check out now. When you do go to Waioli, a couple of dishes you may be interested in trying is the short rib loco moco and the banana macnut pancakes.
We sure hope a drive over to Kane'ohe is in the cards for you on the next trip back home. We love the Prada Moco over at Ohana BBQ and Sushi in the Waimalu Shopping Center. We're also fans of the Smoked Pork Belly Loco Moco at Liliha Bakery so will definitely have to try the Short Rib Loco Moco at Waioli Kitchen!! One can never go wrong with banana macnut pancakes either. Do they by chance have coconut syrup too?? 😋🥥
Hi Clark! We actually had a chance to attend the Honolulu Fish Auction and learned quite a bit about Hawai'i and its fishing industry (check out our video on it if you have a chance). It was interesting to hear where Hawai'i gets certain seafood from. We did hear from one of our subscribers that Tamashiro Market is a place that makes local tako occasionally so we're definitely going to check that out. Please let us know some other places that you know of that sell local tako as well. Thank you so much taking time to watch our video. We truly appreciate it!
Aloha BraddahBruce!! Congrats on getting your poke fix!! We haven't had the chance to try Times Market but heard they have great poke and other eats too. Going to have to check them out next. Mahalo as always!!
Looks like you hit most of the favorite places to get poke on O'ahu. At first I thought you were jumping from one area to another in the same day (That's a lot of gas just to get poke), but then I saw your different t-shirts, and I realized you were filming (and eating) on different days. I know you're aware of so many other places to get poke, but have you tried the OG Tamashiro Market on N. King St.? I think that's the first place our family ever bought prepared poke (along with fresh seafood and sashimi), although we've always eaten sashimi and poke prepared (and sometimes caught) by family and friends at home and at parties. The tako poke with miso sauce was one of my uncles' go-to potluck dishes. The newer Maguro Bros. is another popular spot for poke. BTW, the Hawaiian word for the kukui nut relish in poke is 'inamona.
Hi Jody! Definitely so many more spots and not enough stomach space/time. Tamashiro's Market with that pop of pink on their building and that crab hanging from the top is definitely on our list of spots to try for poke. It was interesting to know about their history and how they started out in Hilo on Big Island and were well known for their pork!! Until trying tako in Hawai'i, we never knew we how much we were missing out. We also have Maguro Bros on our list and plan to visit them at their new spot in the Waikiki Shopping Plaza on our next visit. Thanks for stopping by and sharing your poke experiences!
@@michellejosefoodandtravel I actually was friends with one of the Tamashiro sons in high school, and I remember going to parties at their home on the top floor of that pink building, and the smell of fish as we took the stairs up there. Two of my cousins also grew up a few houses away from Tamashiro Market and that's where the oldest got his first job cutting fish. He later went on to be a United Airlines flight attendant and traveled the world, but he and his friends often went fishing in Hawai'i and caught the seafood and prepared them for family parties and lu'au. They would also kalua the pig in the underground imu (oven) and eventually started a clambake catering service. That's why we seldom bought prepared poke at family events.
@@michellejosefoodandtravel Yup, I think it's pretty common with local families if members like to go fishing. Or we just bought the fresh seafood at places at Tamashiro Market and prepared the dishes at home. You should see how busy Tamashiro Market is around New Year's when Japanese families traditionally eat sashimi (and how expensive it is). The buyers at the fish auction like my friend Guy Tamashiro are always on the news at the end of December and we learn how expensive ahi is!
Hi Terry! We’re so sorry for the delayed response. So many great poke spots…not enough time or stomach space!! Let us know which places are your go to spots. Thank you so much for stopping by our channel!!
Oh man…you guys are more local than me 😮😂. What an awsome poke tour! I tend to stick with what I know, but now I gonna try more tako poke. And the salmon? Oi…so deelishus looking! I go to Tamura’s about once a month, but only buy wine..lol. I go try their poke next time and drop your name. 🤙🏼. But my 1st stop is gonna have to be “Off The Hook”! Mahalo for the onolishus poke tour, you cuties 🥰. You sure you not from here????? 🧐 😂😂😂. 🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻💓💓💓🥰🥰🥰❣️. And mahalo for all the work in putting this video together!!! 🤙🏼🤙🏼
Aloha urs!! We had so much fun doing this poke tour for sure. We've never tried tako🐙until trying it in Hawai'i and we definitely recommend you trying it to when you have a chance.😋Everyone usually turns to ahi for poke, but salmon is so good too so we always try to pick some up as well if available.😋YES please check out the poke at Tamura's and give their Tamura sauce a try as well and enjoy some wine too. 🍷Let us know when you have a chance to try "Off the Hook" and if possible get the sushi rice and let us know what you think!! Mahalo nui urs 😘😘for always showing your support.🥰We hope we have a chance to eat a meal with you the next time we're back!! Have a great rest of the week and chat with you on the next one!! 😊
Hi Michael! We’re already planning the 2.0 version! So many more poke spots to check out but such little stomach space and time. Our list is pretty long with so many recommendations we’ve received so far so we can’t wait to try out more places!! Thank you so much for stopping by and checking out our channel. Let us know if you have any recommendations too!!
🌺 Aloha Michelle and Jose, I am salivating 😋 I love poke 😍 It’s hard to watch this vlog because no matter what time of day or night, I would love to run to Foodland and buy poke and all the side orders. 😋🥰 Everything looks so Ono! 😋. Mahalo once again. Keep it up! I’m enjoying your vlogs! 🤙🏽😘❤️. My favorite was all of them! 😂🤣😂🤣 Okay, my favorite would be Limu kohu 😋😋😋
Aloha Rebecca!! Foodland Poke is amazing!! A definite must stop when in Hawai'i for sure. Do check out some of the other spots from our food tour as they also have some ono poke! So many great poke to choose from all over Hawai'i!! Mahalo nui for your continued support!!
Pro tip, next time if you aren't going to eat poke right away. Ask if they can separate the raw fish from the hot rice. Keeps the first from partially being cooked
Hi Ryan! We learned our lesson quick the first time we tried poke and had a poke bowl. Have never made that mistake again!! Sometime we don't even get rice and just get straight poke. Definitely a great pro tip for sure!! Thanks for stopping in and sharing!!
Enjoy the views, the weather, and definitely all the amazing foods. Eating sushi isn't for everyone and sometimes you have to start out slow to know what you like and don't like because there's so many different varieties of sushi rolls out there. We're excited that you'll be trying poke out!! Hope you're able to try one of the spots in our video. Please let us know what your experiences are when you're back. We definitely agree with you about loving musubi. Stay tuned then as we have a video coming out on it! Wishing you safe travels and a great time!!
Hi Kahele! You can definitely count on us stopping by the store when we come back. It's mandatory for us on every trip so we can't wait to try the new flavors!! 😋 Mahalo for the kind words and stopping by the channel!!🤙🏼
Hi Joe! Apologies for the late response. We absolutely love Fort Ruger hands down from their poke, to their Filipino food, to their Hawaiian food...and then snacks too!! One stop shop for ono grindz for sure! We have not heard of Marukai Wholesale Mart but will definitely add it to our list as we're planning to do another Poke food tour since we barely scratched the surface on this tour. Thank you for sharing your go to spots with us. Let us know what your favorite poke is from them too! Mahalo for stopping by the channel. We appreciate it!
Hello spindrift2640!! There are a ton of poke spots on the island of O’ahu for sure but when there’s limited time and stomach space it’s hard to fit them all in. Nico’s Pier 38 is on our never ending list. If you watched our video on the Honolulu Fish Auction, they get their poke fresh from the fish auction hence the amazing fish they offer. Thank you for taking the time to stop by our channel and share your experiences!!
Was just re-watching some of your videos & would like toss other places that serve up poke your way....1)Poke on Da Run/Pearl City. Think you may featured them b4?! Any ways, that's run by my cousins & their cousins, so it's Truly "All in Da Ohana!".... 2)Poke for the People/Haleiwa, next to Jenny's Shrimp Truck. Haven't patronized them, in awhile!-lol.... 3) Malama Market/Haleiwa. On Saturday/Sunday's...Ray's huli-huli chicken, so that, in essence...is *****....w/Extreme prejudice!-lol 4)Poke Stop/Mililani...VG offerings but, again...haven't visited in awhile(Sigh...noticing a trend?!)-lol 5) Times Supermarket
Aloha Harry!! So many poke places…so little time and so little stomach space and definitely is starting to require deep pockets!! Poke on Da Run is on our never ending list!! We remember you saying it’s run by your ohana!! We’ve recently heard of Poke for the People in Hale’iwa and have them and Kaimana Shave Ice on the list. Malama Market we agree has great poke and it’s a must to get Ray’s since it’s right there in the parking lot! It’s been convenient too bc sometimes Ray’s runs out of rice so we pick some up at the market along with drinks!! 😋Have not heard of Poke Stop so will need to look into that. Times is another spot but we usually just end up at Tamura’s instead!!
Hi Leroy - so sorry for the late response. We have not had the chance to try the Hawaiian Blend at Fresh Catch. We'll definitely check it out on our trip. Thank you for sharing your go to and for stopping by the channel!!
Hi Garrett! Apologies for the late response. We absolutely love K Bay Bros so will definitely be adding the dynamite tako to our list for our next visit for sure!! Their poke is soooo good! Thank you for sharing and for stopping by!!
You two crack me up. You folks eat more poke than most locals. True ambassadors!
Hi Wendell! We love poke and have to eat it when in Hawai'i bc it's the freshest!! We learned just how fresh when we checked out the Honolulu Fish Auction!! Mahalo for your support!!

Hi Joe! Apologies for the late response. We absolutely love Fort Ruger hands down from their poke, to their Filipino food, to their Hawaiian food...and then snacks too!! One stop shop for ono grindz for sure! We have not heard of Marukai Wholesale Mart but will definitely add it to our list as we're planning to do another Poke food tour since we barely scratched the surface on this tour. Thank you for sharing your go to spots with us. Let us know what your favorite poke is from them too! Mahalo for stopping by the channel. We appreciate it!
Miam Miam ! 🥰😍🤤
Hi Eloïse!! So fresh and so good!! Thanks for checking out our video. We appreciate you!
You missed Nico’s Pier 38😭😭
Hello spindrift2640!! There are a ton of poke spots on the island of O’ahu for sure but when there’s limited time and stomach space it’s hard to fit them all in. Nico’s Pier 38 is on our never ending list. If you watched our video on the Honolulu Fish Auction, they get their poke fresh from the fish auction hence the amazing fish they offer. Thank you for taking the time to stop by our channel and share your experiences!!
Was just re-watching some of your videos & would like toss other places that serve up poke your way....1)Poke on Da Run/Pearl City. Think you may featured them b4?! Any ways, that's run by my cousins & their cousins, so it's Truly "All in Da Ohana!"....
2)Poke for the People/Haleiwa, next to Jenny's Shrimp Truck. Haven't patronized them, in awhile!-lol....
3) Malama Market/Haleiwa. On Saturday/Sunday's...Ray's huli-huli chicken, so that, in essence...is *****....w/Extreme prejudice!-lol
4)Poke Stop/Mililani...VG offerings but, again...haven't visited in awhile(Sigh...noticing a trend?!)-lol
5) Times Supermarket
Aloha Harry!! So many poke places…so little time and so little stomach space and definitely is starting to require deep pockets!! Poke on Da Run is on our never ending list!! We remember you saying it’s run by your ohana!! We’ve recently heard of Poke for the People in Hale’iwa and have them and Kaimana Shave Ice on the list. Malama Market we agree has great poke and it’s a must to get Ray’s since it’s right there in the parking lot! It’s been convenient too bc sometimes Ray’s runs out of rice so we pick some up at the market along with drinks!! 😋Have not heard of Poke Stop so will need to look into that. Times is another spot but we usually just end up at Tamura’s instead!!
@@michellejosefoodandtravel...One thing eyes like about Tamura's is they're always changing poke line-up...
@@harrymiram6621 yes the variety is great for sure!!
FYI...He'eia=Heh-ay-ee-yah=Washed away
Mahalo as always Harry for helping out with the pronunciations!! 😊
Shit just go Foodland get da best
Foodland is definitely winnaz!! Quick easy and still nice on the pocket!!
Brah Fresh Catch one rip off. They taxing so much
Honestly so many things are getting so expensive especially in Hawai'i since so much is shipped to the island. Plate lunches getting expensive too!!
The Hawaiian Blend From Fresh Catch Is My Favorite 🔥💯🎯
Hi Leroy - so sorry for the late response. We have not had the chance to try the Hawaiian Blend at Fresh Catch. We'll definitely check it out on our trip. Thank you for sharing your go to and for stopping by the channel!!
Have to try the dynamite tako ! From kbay crazy good
Hi Garrett! Apologies for the late response. We absolutely love K Bay Bros so will definitely be adding the dynamite tako to our list for our next visit for sure!! Their poke is soooo good! Thank you for sharing and for stopping by!!
I like my poke cold!
Hi Stuart - its even better when it’s cold!! It just enhances the flavor more…at least in our opinion!!
