Hawaiian Fresh Seafood At Centerpark Labs

Be prepared to wait if you come around lunch time! We waited about 40 minutes to order. They do have limited seating indoor (3 tables) but they also have outdoor seating in the complex.Otherwise the fish is very fresh and worth the wait. You can't go wrong with any of the selections they have for the day.

Alright..at first you're going to notice that Hawaiian Fresh Seafood is located in a pretty "weird" business park location but when you're there it makes sense. It actually has a great feel to it. Nice seating outside on the grass area. The line gets long but moves pretty fast.We had the garlic poke and miso poke and the garlic fell a little short for me. I thought the salmon would've been mixed in more of a local Hawaiian / shoyu sauce but it's not. It's good but not great. The miso on the other hand was solid. It would be cool if samples were given so you can try it before you buy but that's a risk the owners take. After so many samples I can see it'll cut into profits but at the same time it might help customers make a better decision.

Decided to check this place out since I've seen raving reviews but I think it's a bit overrated. I came in with high expectations but it basically tasted like Yard House's poke nachos with higher quality fish. The nachos were overdressed, making it a little too salty for my liking. Definitely felt overpriced for the portion too. If I were to come back, I'd probably get a poke bowl or plate instead.Service was quick and easy, and it was located in a business park which had plenty of parking.

Pretty solid poke place that actually does more than just good poke! They have reasonable prices on fish to take home and also some other hot items. The flavors seem to rotate so you can't always rely on a specific flavor for your poke. Our favorites have been cilantro mayo, miso salmon, and spicy ahi. Each one had a nice balance of flavors and was complimented nicely by the rice. The garlic salmon, chili peppa salmon, limu onion ahi, yellowtail, have been just ok, they didn't have the same balance of flavors. We have had the calamari and it was legit! I always prefer the steaks over rings and their batter was crispy and delicate. I would securely recommend getting there as early as you can as it gets busy. However, the workers are always nice and seem to move the line as quickly as they can. Everything is provided in to go containers and after ordering you find a seat. The space is a clean and new business area that has plenty of outdoor seating, most with shade.

New place, who 'dis? Finally made my way to their new location and it's looking great! All bright and shiny; I especially got a kick out of the floor looking like fish scales (I see what you did there). There's some tables inside, but you want to be outdoors where that San Diego sun hits right. As per usual, I ordered a poke plate with three scoops. - Spicy Salmon | Love the little spice kick added to this poke. This goes without saying (again), but the salmon is incredibly tender and just feels like it melts in your mouth. Highly recommend. - Garlic Salmon | I've talked about this before in my previous Yelp review, but this poke mixture is comprised of their silky soft salmon with bits of garlic and crunchy sweet onions. Sesame oil is massaged in and gives it that nutty, earthy flavor. It's one of my favorites. - Shoyu Ahi | A little more firm than the salmon, but still tender nevertheless. The thin slices of onion give it a nice contrasting crunch. I also bought an excessive amount of cookies who are made by a company called Caked, which is not too far from HFS (8680 Miralani Drive Ste. 129, San Diego, CA 92126). I have a more detailed review at their own Yelp page, but the gist of it is that there's some pretty unique cookies to try out. One of my favorites is the Matcha Green Tea cookie, but all time favorite is Birthday Cake cookie.

Oh my goodness. Where do I even start? After visiting Hawaii for the first time a few years ago, I've been on the hunt for poke that even remotely resembles the insanity of flavors I tasted there. I've had a place come close, but none as close as HFS. I've never been a huge fan of tuna until I visited Hawaii. The tuna I had there was like melt-in-your-mouth, candy-like bites of heaven. The tuna here really just took me back there. I felt like I was sitting by the beach eating my Foodland poke again. I do have to warn that bowls here don't contain any seaweed salad/krab or any of the usual toppings at other places. However, the fish is so good on its own, you don't need any of the other frills to distract from it. Definitely be prepared to wait in line for at least 20-30 minutes during peak hours though. Seating is abundant outside, which is great during these summer months. There's really nothing like eating a delicious poke bowl under the sun. Not sure how that'd feel during our colder months out here though.The prices here are definitely a big jump from Foodland prices, but I'll gladly pay for it again and again. I've spent about $60 in the last week on poke here and I have no regrets. I may have to create a separate budget for poke alone just so I can keep coming back here on a regular basis. No regrets though, just pure bliss

I used to absolutely love this place when I was walking distance from it. Now, it has really gone downhill. Prices have increased, portions have gone down and quality has decreased. I always got the Poke Nachos, which are now $16 for one protein choice. I used to either get half and half or get a second protein for $4. Now, they won't do half and half and the second protein is $8. Considering the first portion of protein was smaller than it used to be, this price increase is insane (especially when it is only $3 to add protein scoops to the poke bowl). I got their Shoyu Ahi, which was fresh and tasty, but covered by the sauces. This place is such a ripoff now.

I had the poke plate with spicy salmon, the cilantro and the Furakaki. All three were delicious and came with two scoops of rice. I wish they would give sushi paper with it so I could make little cups of sushi with it.The fish and chips were OK. I was not thrilled about the green onion. Sprinkle that was all over them, especially on the french fries. This place during lunchtime is complete insanity. Give yourself more than extra time to have your food and get back to work.

Upon entering, there was a long line almost drifting through the entrance. Really nice interior and the fish is on the pricier side compared to the location in Point Loma. Portions are also smaller too and there's no happy hour. Might seem like I'm complaining, but the Point Loma location has less options. Decided to get a classic small poke bowl that was $15. There was way more rice than fish but the fish tasted good. Also ordered some poke nachos with firecracker salmon and the firecracker salmon was the better option. Overall, pretty pricey for the portion size but delicious nonetheless.

Excellent food and service! Shrimp is just like North Shore!! Not a fan of poke but line goes out the door!!!
