I visited multiple places to get local poke and this place was by far the best . The fish quality is like no other I’ve tasted , melts in your mouth and perfectly seasoned like ahhh I’m only visiting but will visit again to enjoy before my return to the mainland. It’s that good calls for seconds !!
