I love paradise poke! I love their poke bowls, hella fresh — so good and the portions are heavy so you don’t feel cheated! All flavors are good — the poke nachos, man, that’s my go to! In my opinion best on island! Also, I stop there for breakfast because I think they have the best musubi — I know, I know, just trust me though. Right size tomago, right size spam, enough rice, rice right kind of sticky, and spam marinated to perfection in right kind sauce! Just trust me!
Not sure what more you could want from a poke spot. The fish was soft and tender the flavors explosive the sushi rice was cooked to perfection. And the crab salad super yummy. If you’re nearby and want some poke look no further.
AMAZING POKE!!! Wow! The wonton nachos chips they make in house and the spicy mayo and other dips are homemade. It was so delicious from start to finish. We ordered nachos and the salmon plate and it did NOT dissappoint. We will certainly be coming back here as often as we can. The staff was all super friendly, helpful, knowledgeable, and intentional. If you haven't tried the poke here...you are missing out!!! Thanks and see you soon!!
What is your biggest poke pet peeve? For me, it's when they put steaming hot rice with ice cold poke. Paradise poke DOES NOT do that. Both the rice and the poke are the appropriate temperature for a pleasant eating experience! I highly recommend getting the special with garlic chips in it if you're a garlic lover like me. SUPER garcikly! Great fish quality, will stop by again.
