Arlene's Mini Market & Kitchen

Sadly, the first time I was here she was closed from Monday October 31 Halloween to Wednesday November 2nd. I was here on Tuesday November 1st that's okay. Second time, here on Friday November 11 Veterans Day and there was a parade from 10:00am to 12:00pm. The traffic in Wahiawa was crazy. I got to try the food from Arlene's Mini Market and Kitchen I got the spicy ahi poke bowl wth taegu and kalua pig. It's freshly made to order and you can watch her make your order. The rice and kalua pig was hot. The spicy ahi poke and taegu was cold. The rice was cooked perfectly and the kalua pig was good! You could tell that the ahi was fresh from the ocean to the table freshness! You could tell by the taste and the texture of the fish. The texture is the biggest giveaway to how fresh a fish really is!! The taegu was soft and had a good flavor to it. I really hope that more of my coworkers, friends and other people come to try this wonderful place and get to experience what the freshest fish is like!! I got to talk to the owner Arlene and she is a really nice lady! I hope you come to support her small local business. Then it can become a large local business next. I love to support local!! When I know, I will be in the Wahiawa area after 11:00am. I will be sure to come back here again.

Arlene is very nice and makes the best spicy poke. Everything is made to order, fresh. We tried the Avocado Poke Bowl and the Spicy Ahi Poke. Did not disappoint. Small selection of groceries but she said she wants to expand to make hot food instead. Definitely looking forward to trying more on her menu!

She uses fresh ingredients and makes everything made to order. Said she's debating on closing cause she doesn't get customers. Go check her out, you won't be disappointed.

Being from out of town, my wife and I wanted to try a local poke shop. We stumbled upon Arlene's which was more than a dream. She makes everything made to order and gets her fish at the local fish market. You will not be disappointed if you stop by Arlene's. Best poke on O'ahu!!!
