"2 words to describe Maguro Brothers (MB): FRESH FISHWhen in Chinatown, my go to place is MB. There are so many options but the freshness of the fish from MB is unlike other places. The poke bowls are made to order and mixed fresh. So be patient as it just makes the poke so much better tasting. As you bite into the pieces of ahi, it just melts in your mouth. You can just taste the freshness!My absolute favorite is the spicy ahi. It is a tad bit spicy for me (yum!) but if spicy is not your thing, I'd recommend something else. If I could, I'd order everything!Seating wise, there's a couple tables in front but you may need to hunt around. It's to be expected though of Chinatown and that marketplace. I hope that MB will consider opening a shop outside of Waikiki or Chinatown..maybe somewhere that has more parking options haha!But if you love poke, you NEED to try Maguro Brothers!"
"This place is a must go if you are in Oahu. You will pass by it if you are coming from or going to the airport, so feel free to stop by here to pick up some lunch when you arrive or before you leave. I tried 5 different poke, from diff style of Ahi, to King crab to tako, they are all fresh and super tasty. The flavor is balance so you can taste both the fish and sauce. The guy behind the counter is also very helpful. Me and my family ate the food so fast that I didn't even get a chance to take a picture. Will definitely come gain next time I am in Oahu"
"Late lunch/early dinner in Honolulu, Hawaii...I hadn't eaten a real meal all day. What came to mind was Ali'i Fish Market It was 20 minutes before closing at 3pm... and some items were HALF OFF! I got the Hamachi Kama (delicious) and Miso Butterfish (firm and tasty)... what great deals!In the refrigerator, I selected the Lychee Strawberry dessert (yummy), pickled ogo (sweet sour crunchiness), and Mari's Salad (with fresh citrus dressing)! Parking: free shared lot at Old Stadium Square Location: closer to the Young Street entrance... across from Golden EagleService: efficient and helpful Environment: tidy, cozy, and takeout onlyNote: there's a rewards system, so, I'll be back!"

Very yummy & fresh fish located in the back of the marketplace! They conveniently have dining tables and plenty other food stalls in the hall that you can grab other food/drinks from. I came with my friends for lunch and the service was nice and fast. I ordered the chutoro donburi and my friends ordered different chirashi bowls. Everything was delicious! The fish was super fresh and yummy. I also liked the tamago that was added in. Will definitely be back for the poke.

Came here to get some sashimi. Good quality fish. Different grades of tuna and got king salmon from NZ too but I had to skin it and pick some small bones out. Price was OK, not cheap but not ridiculously expensive. The tuna belly was $42 per lb. Their octopus was good. There were 2 kinds. The more expensive one was supposed to be more tender. Their crab shrimp scallop poke was to die for. I'd totally come back just for that alone. It's a small market with a small parking lot but I was lucky to find parking. Staff were friendly enough. Depends on who's serving you. One guy seemed more easygoing and was willing to do more with the fish than another.

Blown away by the quality and taste of the food this place creates at such a reasonable price point! We'd ordered the ahi loco moco. The Ahi tastes like it was sous vide! Yes! And the gravy was light perfectly balanced. This dish is ! We were shocked on how good it is. So good! A must try! You can't go wrong with their poke and desserts too. Lychee strawberry cheesecake creation, chiefs kiss!

Didn't know about this place. Googled seafood place when I was near Chef zone and this place popped up. Needed crab legs and they had great prices and variety. Only negative thing I'd say is that the service felt so pushy and rude but it could just be how the lady talks or looks. It isn't that bad haha.

"Awesome prices, small no frills spot near the airport where you can get really fresh oysters on the half shell from Japan. Rotating seasonal variety. Staff is all business as this place gets busy. Call ahead to reserve your haul. My boyfriend and I have gotten oysters and lobster here for special occasions and it is always great.Editing my review to clarify that these are wholesale - as in bags of oysters and seafood for home preparation and not a sit down spot!"
