Many recommend stopping by during the week to experience the authentic, tasty poke that keeps customers coming back.
Their poke bowl is amazing! We decided to try the Hawaiian and spicy flavors. We grabbed a bowl and headed to the beach to eat it.The rice becomes a bit tough once it cools down, but that's the only issue.

This is the go to grind for legit poke. Definitely the best poke in all of maui. Cute little mom and pop store that's been open since the "good ol days." Service is fast and friendly. Fridays they have a Hawaiian plate that is heavenly.

Recommend by our Turo driver! Definitely a must in Maui. Spicy flying ninja was my favorite. However all the different types of poke was amazing. You cannot eat there, just a mom and pop place with fresh seafood.
