What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Honaunau Poke Shop is a highly praised, unassuming gem offering incredibly fresh and delicious poke bowls with generous portions. Diners rave about the variety of unique flavors and the friendly, patient staff that embody the 'aloha spirit.' While most experiences are overwhelmingly positive, a few mention that the avocado side can reduce fish portion if not served separately.
"A really awesome spot for some delicious poke in a very laid back setting! If they sell out, they close early - “gone fishing”, so try to arrive early. The staff are friendly and helpful in figuring out all of their various options they have! Parking is limited."

"Poke was DELICIOUS! Lots of flavor and register girl was really friendly when asking what she recommended.
We ended up going for the traditional and for the Spicy Avocado. ✨🤘🏼
My only thing is to do the extra avocado side on a different container or else your ahi portion will be less since the avocado is in the same container. So I was a little disappointed that I paid extra for it and then I got less fish 🥹"
Jennifer Martinez
"Absolutely amazing! The poke here is so fresh and delicious, with tons of options to choose from. They also have great local drinks, foods, and desserts, which really makes the experience stand out. Everything was reasonably priced for the quality and portions.Five stars without question I’ll definitely be coming back again. 🌺🐟✨"

Traveling Stroller: Big Island, Hawaii
Just a few minutes from Two Step Beach are two fantastic takeaway places, Honaunau Poke Shop and Big Jake’s Island BBQ, next door to each other. Once again, my family split up to enjoy both — the seafood lovers (my daughter and me) heading to the poke shop, and the meat lovers (my husband and son) hitting up the barbecue joint. We brought the food to Two Step Beach to eat, and both meals lived up to the hype.
