Years and years ago, Poke Stop was one of the only places that made Furikake Salmon Poke: fresh raw salmon in a sweet soy sauce with furikake seasoning.All the other shops did not have salmon or used smoked salmon instead which was not the same. Nowadays, they have so much competition and Furikake Salmon is in most shops.To this day, I think of that time, they ran out but said to come back in 20 minutes and they will have a fresh batch made for me. Now that was service!

My wife and I bought The Prime Rib Package for $272.25. We thought that a full holiday meal for this price was a bargain. That is until we got it home and started serving it to our friends and family. Let us begin with the mash potatoes: runny and unflavored, the pumpkin crunch was full of nuts (too many) because they make for cheap filling. Therefore, you get less pumpkin. However, the worst part was the 'Prime Rib'. This piece of meat was greasy and disgusting oily. It was not fresh and upset our stomachs after eating it. We could not stop belching from the oily meat even after six hours.My wife tried to give away the Prime Rib but no one would take it. Therefore, we had to throw it away. The quality of the meat was the lowest possible quality so the store can obtain the greatest possible monetary gains. The customers are the ones that pay the price for the poor quality of their meals. My wife and I will make sure that we never buy from The Poke Stop again.

I recently tried the shoyu ahi poke bowl at Poke Stop, and unfortunately, it didn't quite hit the mark for me. The poke was WAY too salty, and the sauce made the rice salty too, which is a bit disappointing. It was also a bit pricey for the quantity I received. This review is just based on the poke, so I can't speak for the rest of the menu.On the plus side, there's parking available, which is convenient, and the cashier was very friendly and welcoming. While the service was great, I'd likely go elsewhere for poke next time.

Been to this location for many years. I love the poke and lunch plates at this family owned business. Renowned Chef Elmer Guzman, who was a graduate of the KCC culinary program knows how to create some awesome local style plates at a modest price in this casual place. I love their poke and their creamy salmon is among my favorites. Today, I got the Executive Chef plate. It was loaded with a combination of Korean style bone-in kalbi, garlic shrimp, garlic Island fish & your choice of poke. I opted my plate with creamy salmon poke, white rice and potato salad. It's da bomb! Taste so ono and I had a hard time finishing it all- but I managed to- hehe! The service was great from ordering to leaving. I dined in and my meal was served on real plates, water cup with ice, and silverware. My meal came out quickly but I did come at a slow time. There are signs posted that say "Fresh Food isn't Fast- Mahalo for your Patience" so it might be a good idea to phone order ahead of time. The place was very clean. There's a tub to place your used dishes in. There's a long table to sit on as well as counter space to eat. The friendly staff said "Thank you!" when I was leaving. Of course I'll be back!

Just saw a review from Christina F. of Moanalua about the ahi in her shoyu poke being "black" and Cali poke bowl ALSO being "black". Here is a picture of the actual poke bowls in question. The fish looks JUST FINE. As a matter of fact, I just ate some from BOTH bowls and the poke was AWESOME. Some people are just unhappy with their lives and find the need to take out their unhappiness out on other people. It makes them feel good about the issues that they are having in their own lives, giving them a sense of control in the chicken shit lives that they lead. To Christina F. of Moanalua: just stay home and save yourself some heartache and pocket your attention-seeking behavior for people who actually care. Your useless Yelp reviews, while helping you to feel like you have some sense of control in your insignificant life, mean nothing to people who actually know what they are talking about about.Poke Stop has awesome food. I eat here ALL THE TIME. Never got sick once. Nothing but a full belly of top quality poke. 5-stars all day, every day.

Craving poke but can't decide where to stop since there's a ton of places on the island? Look no further. You came to the right spot. Not only was this place featured on Diner, Drive Ins and Dive, it was by far one of the best experiences I have had at an establishment that made it to the big screens. The auntie that took our orders was soooo patient. I literally took so long to decide what I want because the choices were incredible. She even gave us samples. Talk about choice paralysis. Anyway, I ended up getting the garlic ahi w masago poke bowl and the rice was cooked to perfection. I am craving it right now as I'm writing this. They also have other choices if you're not into raw fish such as burgers, gumbo, etc. I live about 35 mins away but I would absolutely make the drive out to Mililani just for this poke and the service. 10/10 all around!!!!

@Brandon L. Your picture is very fitting. I bet the monkey in your profile picture matches your demeanor and intelligence level.You have a brand new profile with a single review that you created just to take a picture of my returns, post it, and respond to my comment? Yeah.... you really sound like an "actual customer"Yet, no one found your review as helpful besides me. Did they?You're obviously an employee or manager there; being so invested to actually take a picture of what a customer returned, post it, and actually consume the returned bowls of spoiled ahi. I'm sure it's totally normal for a random customer to take pictures of returned food items to a restaurant and actually eat it, right? (Sarcasm)Btw, Thank you for posting the picture of the bowls that I returned. That way everyone can see it.I'm pretty amazed that you can post what's obviously spoiled meat while thinking this "will prove me wrong" while being completely clueless that you just supported my complaints by doing so.All while being incredibly ignorant, smug, and insulting about it.I have eaten Poke my entire life growing up in Hawaii and I have an Asian mother. I've eaten ahi from many different locations from Hawaii to NYC. I've eaten different grades of ahi from the grocery store type (which is still pretty good in Hawaii) to fine dining ahi (A significant increase of quality and tase). I have never once seen any of those places try to sell poke this low quality and OLD!The fact the you can look at what you posted (and I returned) and think, "Hey that looks okay and I'll actually eat it!"; tells me that your stomach is made of steel and your head is filled with rocks".Marinade doesn't turn the meat that dark!!! Of course it would look and taste okay, to someone who is completely unaware of what fresh and good quality ahi should actually look and tast like. That's why they soak it in shoyu Marinade!!!You think it tastes fine Because your TASTING THE SHOYU MARINADE....What's really crazy is your gas lighting. I was still polite and respectful, while I was returning the bowls.Which is more than I can say for a business that would try to increase their profits by selling old ahi and risk getting their customers sick.For a meal that costs almost $40?!?! They shouldn't even be giving it away for free, let alone charging the price they did for it.You posting the bowls really just supported my claims.I'm pretty sure it's your complete lack of common sense and experience of what fresh ahi should actually look like; that's causing your rude, and ignorant smugness. Your train of thought is actually pretty funny; posting what's obviously old poke and then pretending that it's fresh is actually laughable. Being incredibly rude and insulting as a way to support your claims of the poke being "just fine", is hardly enough to ignore the picture you posted AND of what I returned; of what's obviously old ahi meat.Although the new bowls were the correct color, the quality was still sub par. Especially for the cost. Here's a thought? How about insuring that your restaurant serves better quality product and not try to shame someone (who has common sense) for not wanting to get a food borne illness?The only thing your post accomplished is making yourself look absolutely ridiculous and mentally challenged; by posting what's obviously OLD AHI MEAT.You can laugh at my claims all you want. It doesn't make you look less ignorant.It certainly wouldn't make anyone (who actually knows what quality ahi should look like) ignore the picture you posted or the other customer reviews that said the EXACT SAME THING.....Their food never got you sick? Really? Well read through the reviews of the people that it did get sick!!!!You very sad, ignorant, ill mannered, and intellectually challenged troll.

We had ordered the Turkey Meal packed. It was the worst meal that I had ever had. The mash potato was so watery that it looked more like cream of potato, stuffing was so soggy and looked more like the tester of a thick gravy and turkey was dry. Oh my, talk about the gravy itself was so oily that it half of the container that it came with was oil. It looked like it was poured in container without much thought to it. The only think that came okay was the cranberry sauce and the pumpkin crunch desert. I had the turkey pack meal ordered last year back then it was good. But somehow it went downhill from then. Couldn't enjoy any of it. Even my guest didn't want to take home left over.
