Food is delicious, very refreshing. Not much to say about the ambiance, but is comfortable to eat in.

The found is great, but the process is painful. When we got there, only one person (possible owner) was working the counter (no big deal). He was at the register checking someone out and came over to us to tell us that the card reader was down and they were only accepting cash; we said no problem. We placed have our order, and between making the two bowls, a second employee came out to finish making them and the first employee went back to register - he then came back a few minutes later to tell us the card reader was down and confirmed we were paying cash and then asked to see out cash. Showed him we had cash and he let the other employee finish making our order. We get to the register and the employee who asked to see our cash gives us a total. We pay him in cash but did not get our change; the employee said they do not have any cash on hand. One of our bowls was more expensive than the other (no extras were added), when asked about it the employee said "that's the price". The prices listed do not match other menus and marketing materials, and in four different places we found conflicting prices with a $2-$4 difference depending on which item you looked at. Overall, the food was excellent, but staffing and management is a bit disastrous.

No. The fishy smell when we first walked in made me a little uneasy but my husband wanted to give this place a try. Some of the ingredients didn't look fresh and the wasabi was a super unusual green play dough color. I became extremely concerned when I went to use the bathroom. The disgusting and intensely strong scent of urine in there was so overwhelmingly strong - it literally made me gag. I then go to stir my bowl up. Took one bite, spat it out and then threw the entire bowl away. Why? The tuna was extremely fishy. Did not taste fresh at all. Some of the mixed greens had that black slime on them. Rice was super dry. Thinking of how they could let the bathroom get to that point of filth and deem it acceptable for paying customers was incredibly concerning then tasting the ultra fishy tuna made me not want to take a chance on their level of care for food safety. My husbands tuna was also very fishy and while he ate a bit more than I did - he ended up throwing his away as well. While they may follow all food safety guidelines to a T and I'm not saying that they don't. But I didn't like the fishy taste of the bowl so I couldn't eat it. I used to manage a popular poke shop in the past, I love poke and have eaten at many different shops in Hawaii, other parts of the US and in Canada. This was the worst poke I've ever had. We would not go back and I highly recommend they hire someone to do a deep clean and disinfecting of the bathroom and return on a regular basis to keep it clean. It was the most disgusting smelling bathroom I've ever been to in my life.This place gives the vibe of someone who was excited to open a restaurant and put a lot of care into it in the beginning but as the years went by and business slowed - so did the effort and care. Not saying that's what's happened - but that is the impression I get

Not a great experience. We ordered food online for pickup and when we arrived in person they didn't have our order in their system. We showed them our receipt and order and they hesitated to make the order. After showing them multiple times that we had paid, this was the correct place, and this was our order they finally made it. There was also a language barrier that didn't help the situation. The food was average, good flavor, but nothing special. With so many great places around, no need to go back.

I am not giving two stars to be rude, I just want other customers to know, shrinkflation is major here. I just paid for a medium salad and it is so tiny. I have been coming here for years and this is less than half its usual size. I get that costs are up. But it was/is shocking and definitely not worth the price. I will be passing this spot from now on....

Been to many different Ahipoke locations. This one I wouldn't recommend even slightly. It's like the ugly stepchild of this franchise. Just lacked any type of care or desire to make good food. Oh and if you wanted to wash any of the food down with a fountain drink, you can't because they are all out of order.

AMAZING!I love how they mix the sauces together with the fish and combine everything together. This spot is a MUST for poke lovers. I got a regular bowl (2 scoops), which I thought looked small at first but it was more than enough. They are VERY generous with their portions. I can full heartedly say this was the BEST poke ive had.
