The store offers a variety of poke flavors, including popular options like hamachi and spicy flying ninja, all made with fresh, high-quality seafood. Customers often praise the freshness and delicious taste of the poke, considering it the best on the island. The store also features plate lunch specials, including Hawaiian plates, which are highly recommended and available early in the day. Visitors enjoy grabbing their favorite poke and poi by the bags, as well as treats like icee flavors and spam musubi.

Poke is fresh, prices for drinks are fair compared to other stores, musubi are where it's at!

The best poke I’ve ever had in my life. My husband and I went back multiple times. The ladies working there were so nice and walked us through all the poke options to help us make our decision. Truly a gem in Maui and def worth the drive
