I really hate giving such a poor review but our experience was terrible and this place is seriously overhyped. - The sushi rice is mushy and not seasoned right- The quality of the fish was just ok- The poke is seriously lackluster and flavorless- The hamachi jalapeno was way too overly saucy- The cucumber salad (side that comes with bowl) was just sliced cucumber and had zero yuzu flavor as advertized- The spicy hamachi handroll was also drowning in sauce The kicker was that I paid an extra $5.50 to add ikura to the chirashi bowl, and they forgot to add it. I had to go back to ask for it and the guy put such a tiny dollop on the bowl that I gasped. There are much better options.

Came here on a recommendation from a local that this was their favorite poke spot. The place is quite small but they have a nice bar counter and some outside seats. I got their gyudon and also tried their ahi poke. Both were superb! I loved the miso soup, which is included, and the taegu (spicy cuttlefish). Great food and vibes overall! And the staff were super quick and friendly too.

Get their torched salmon garlic bowl. You won't regret it. And maybe pay a little more for the ikura if you feel like it. You still wont regret it.

This is our go to takeout spot. Mama Kim's has delicious bowls of super fresh fish at the best prices around. Their salmon and ikura bowl is $18, while the same thing at kaimuki shokudo is over $20! You're not sacrificing quality or quantity either, the fish is always fresh and the rice is fluffy and well seasoned.This place is always packed for good reason, and we will continue coming back here all the time.

While waiting for Ms Sofie I saw this little shop on the corner as I turned from King Street onto Kaheka. I've read reviews just didn't realized I'm driving past it every time I'm going to Sofie's groomer. It was actually the sign set up on the patch of grass in front that caught my eye because the restaurant doesn't open until 10:00 and I usually drop Miss Sofie off at 9:30 from a different entrance. OH well, now I know. So I walked to the front of the building as they were opening the doors, looked at the menu and placed my order.This is a very small shop, three people will make it feel crowded. There were four workers all working in unison to make the dishes efficiently and timely. I had the spicy Tuna hand roll, Spicy Hamachi hand roll and the California roll with a bottle of cold water and made use of the outside tables which are clearly marked for this business's use only. All the food was good, nori wraps crispy, just spicy enough. They apparently do a lot or Uber Eats and pick up/take out business. No designated parking, street parking only with meters but if you've ordered ahead and have someone with you it would be easy to pick up while your someone drives around the block. I'll definitely be back. Fast and friendly and definitely worth the prices charged.

Been wanting to try Mama Kim's from when they first opened and I'm so glad my coworkers and I finally got to try them! It's a small place with pick up only and they have a fridge with drinks & kimchee for purchase.I placed an order at about 11am and they were very fast. I got there about 15 minutes later and my order was ready. We ordered the spicy ahi deluxe bowl, seared salmon bowls, spicy ahi handroll, and hamachi handroll. The seared salmon bowl was so good. Perfectly seared with garlic chips & nori on top and ginger & wasabi on the side. It tasted like the torched sushi that you get an Genki Sushi but way better quality! The spicy ahi was so good as well. Minced fresh ahi with the perfect amount of spice. And the hamachi was my fav. Imported Japan hamachi, just melted in your mouth and tasted so fresh.The only hard part is the parking. Not sure if you can park in a parking structure, but I only saw metered parking and luckily there was one when I went. They're right next to Louise's. And close to the drive thru panda on King St. I definitely would go back! They have so menu items that look so good. I recommend you try them if you haven't already!

Mama Kim's makes solid poke bowls! They have a variety of poke offerings like spicy ahi, shoyu ahi, limu poke, hamachi and even a creamy mentaiko ahi! You can order your bowl with either one or two scoops and choose up to three toppings. It's hard to just choose three, but I tend to go for the crab, cucumber and tamago. They also have additional toppings for a charge like uni, ikura or shrimp tempura. The bowls are pretty expensive for the size, but they taste delicious! Don't pass up this tiny corner shop for a great poke bowl.

5 Stars!!!I tried the unagi bowl, and it was absolutely incredible! (Also had the unagi hand roll, spicy ahi hand roll, and red dragon bowl - but the unagi was my winner) The eel was perfectly cooked, tender, and had just the right amount of savory-sweet glaze. The combination of fresh toppings, fluffy rice, and that delightful unagi sauce brought everything together beautifully. You can tell the ingredients are top-notch and prepared with care. This bowl has officially become my go-to order--I can't wait to come back ! Highly recommend.
