Paradise Poke Hawaii - Ilikai

If you're in Waikiki and craving amazing poke, Paradise Poke in the Ilikai Hotel is an absolute must-visit! As soon as you walk up the stairs, it's right there on the left, and trust me--you won't regret stopping by.The service here is incredible. The staff is so welcoming and friendly, making sure you get exactly what you want. They take the time to explain the different options, and you can really tell they care about the quality of their food and the experience of their customers.And the poke? Hands down some of the freshest I've ever had! The fish is melt-in-your-mouth delicious, perfectly seasoned, and paired with just the right toppings. Every bite was packed with flavor, and you can taste the quality in every single piece. Whether you go for the classic ahi, spicy salmon, or one of their creative combinations, you cannot go wrong.If you're a poke lover (or even if you're trying it for the first time), Paradise Poke is a gem. Fresh fish, fantastic service, and a great location--what more could you ask for? Highly recommend!

Another fantastic poke shop in Waikiki. Paradise Poke Hawaii is located inside the Llikai Hotel and it's only a 5 minute walk from the Hilton Hawaiian Village. This was perfect. Their poke are fresh. We tried five different flavors. All was fantastic.Truffle Ponzu Salmon- Exclusive flavor- This was fantastic. The truffle wasn't overly powering the taste of the salmon.Spicy Hawaiian Alaea- Fantastic.Shoyu Ahi- Classic flavor and still the best one.Garlic Tare Ahi- Delicious if you like a hint of sweetness from the tare.Ginger Scallions Ahi- Excellent, this was my second favorite out of the five. Ginger and scallions perfect combination. Overall Paradise Poke delivers the good it was fresh and and close for our convenience.Service was fantastic as well.

My family and I were excited to explore a new poke spot, hoping to find a hidden gem. Unfortunately, this place didn't quite live up to the high standards set by our favorite.We ordered the Hawaiian bowl, which features Kalua pig, lomi salmon, and our choice of additional meat--we all opted for the ahi tuna. While the bowl had potential, the Kalua pig was overcooked and lacked the depth of flavor we were hoping for. Although there were some nice ingredients, both the salmon and ahi tuna didn't taste as fresh as we expected.On a brighter note, we also tried the spam musubi, which turned out to be the highlight of our meal! It was perfectly cooked and bursting with the right flavors. The service was commendable; the owner was incredibly patient and took the time to explain the different bowls. It's clear that he cares about his customers. While we appreciated the service and enjoyed the spam musubi, I'm afraid we won't be returning for the poke.

12.13.2o24My husband ordered togo so I didn't go with, not sure how the store looked like. However, the pokes are excellent! It's probably one of the best in town. It was very tender and tasted very fresh. We got the spicy ahi and truffle ponzu salmon. Both were very delicious. The ahi wasn't too spicy and the truffle didn't over empowered the salmon flavor. It was just right to me. I would definitely go back if I ever visit again!

We were looking for a quick and fresh meal after a long travel day. Note that it is located within the Ilikai hotel. The storefront was small and quiet on a Saturday evening and we were able to order quickly. We had the Limu Ahi poke bowl and the Hawaiian bowl with shoyu ahi. I liked the flavors and texture of the Limu ahi more than the shoyu ahi. Unfortunately the Hawaiian bowl did not seem to have the salmon in it (maybe they were out but they didn't mention anything). It was a solid meal, and tasted decently fresh, but I wouldn't say it was my favorite poke bowl on the island. Overall a good choice if you're looking for something quick and convenient.

Hawaiiiiiiiiiiii poke is toooooooooooooooooooo gooooooooooooood not my fav hawai spot but worth trying

The poke bowl was quite satisfying, and the fish was very fresh and flavorful. For sushi rice, it was an additional $1. You get a good amount of fish. We also got the poke nachos which were delicious. Service was quick and friendly at this casual takeout restaurant.

The pokey here is fresh, but I do feel it is very pricey, and the portion sizes are a little bit on the smaller side. I got their truffle salmon and the spicy tuna with seaweed that won the award with sushi rice. There was only two choices of a side topping which included a cucumber, a seaweed salad, which I do not like either of so I wish there was a more variety of toppings you could choose from. Overall, the fish quality was great, and the seasoning was really good and I could taste the truffle with each bite of the salmon. However, again the price and the amount of food is not the best- i feel like you can find better poke shops on the island but it was decent!

Grabbed a quick bowl of poke and some musubi for lunch on the beach. Poke was fresh and delicious... man do I miss fresh and affordable beachside poke... gotta book another trip to Hawaii ASAP

Grabbed lunch twice here during my 5 days at the Hilton Hawaiian Village next doors. First time I had the Hawaiian Alaea Ahi Tuna bowl, and second time I had a two topping bowl with the Shoyu Ahi and Truffle Ponzu Salmon.The quality of the poke here is pretty high, and I was satisfied with both bowls. They have multiple types of Ahi available and you probably can't go wrong with any of them. The quality and freshness of the Ahi in Hawaii is always amazing!The truffle salmon was pretty good with a strong truffle flavor. Salmon would not be my first choice in Hawaii but the Madako (octopus) that I wanted wasn't ready yet at 11am. Only service hiccup that I experienced.Each bowl took a bit of time to prep though, so your wait time might be significant if you go at peak lunch hour as they only have 1 guy working there.
