Tamashiro Market

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

12/23/24 Went to pick up my pre order slab of salmon for sashimi Surprised n happy to find that they had removed the skin and had packaged it too!Garlic salted + pepper then broiled it for an extra treat!

I remember the first time coming here. A local friend of mine said, "if you are looking for poke, go to Tamashiro Market". They have been serving up some delicious poke before and are a staple at parties. Nowadays, there are so many poke places but they are constantly good.

One of the best places to get poke. This is a hole in the wall mom and pop market. Poke is fresh and so delicious. If you're in town give this place a try, you won't regret it. They sell garlic taro chips, it matches perfectly with the poke! Parking is limited but you can park right across at the church.

Tamashiro Market had some of the freshest poke we had on our trip to Hawaii. Came here around 9:30am on a Thursday morning - lots of different poke as well as seafood options inside.We got:1/4lb Ahi w/ onion This was 28.95/lb - the most expensive one I think they had but still very very fairly priced as I think the poke at ono seafood was $30+ something a lb & I would argue that Tamashiro market was even more fresh. This has a very subtle kick to it and was really well seasoned1/4lb Ahi w/ creamy crab sauceThis was 25.95/lb and noted as a 2021 winner of Poke Fest. We could tasted the sweet crab w/ some subtle bright citrus notes as well. I think this would've been even more delicious on rice but our favorite between the 2 was the ahi with onion.Highly recommend stopping by - I wish we had time to visit more than once during our trip.

At the end of my trip to O'ahu, I was resigned to think that real Hawaiian poke wasn't for me. Granted, we only got poke from Foodland, so what do I know? But I wanted to give it another go before heading to the airport, and after a quick Yelp search, we spontaneously came here.The parking lot is small and chaotic, and there was a long line for their poke. They're a regular market, selling raw fish and other snacks, but everything is fresh- we saw them preparing the entire tuna body for sale which was cool to watch. Their ahi is good, but their marlin was especially rich in flavor and delicious! You can order it as a meal set with warm rich as well. The sauces were simple and straightforward which I appreciated as you were still able to taste the fish itself.

Tamashiro Market was very much no on my list of new places to try in Oahu. But when the sushi chef at the omakase restaurant tells you this is where he gets his fish, well, you pay attention quickly and head on over as soon as the opportunity arises.By this point I was pretty disgustingly full from all the food that I had been eating, so I went for an ahi onion poke bowl and blue marlin poke on the side. All I'm gonna say is...this is straight up FIRE. Of all the poke I've had on the island, this is the best...PERIOD.Staff here are really friendly! Told them we were noobs, they explained everything well. When you check out, they'll give you all the utensils and napkins you need!So yeah, I will definitely need to come back here next time I come to Oahu. Too good. Just too good!

Omg this is the best poke I've had! So happy I got to try it when I was in Hawaii. I wish I would've gotten it more when I was there. The fish tasted soo fresh and perfectly marinated with a lot of flavor. Big portions for $15/bowl. If I were to compare this to poke at foodland, I would say this is better. Service is fast. There isn't seating inside or out so definitely a take-out kind of place.

My family always stops by here whenever we need a certain type of fish for dinner. We especially love the Hamachi Kama. I always make sure to get some spicy tuna poke as a treat. Just a heads up that the parking lot is incredibly small and not laid out very well. Street parking is also tough.

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.
