Oki's Seafood Corner Foodland — Restaurant in Hawaii

Located inside Foodland Kahului, they have ALL KINDS of different pokē creations and seafood selections. It's pronounced "poh-kay" NOT pokey.

MENU: Pokē (mostly fresh and not pre-frozen), fresh fish, lobster, crab, clams, pretty much everything that comes out of that big blue pond.

FOOD: Shoyu Pokē I used to think Takamiya's made the best shoyu pokē. Boy was I wrong. The pokē here has a hint of sesame oil which gives it a slightly sweet flavor but definitely NOT overpowering, as I don't care for sweet foods. Fish is super fresh and tender.

Kim Chee Clam Pokē I love clams, so I had to try this. Awesome flavor with the kim chee spices! And the price isn't bad either.

Spicy Ahi Pokē Done in a sriracha & mayo mixture and topped with green onions and tobiko. Spice level is mild and full of flavor.

Manila Clams Fresh and the perfect size for grilling or microwaving. Microwaving? Hell yeah. Lay them nicely in a dish, cook on high but you gotta watch and remove the clams that start to open. Pour the juice onto the clams. Yowza, goes AWESOME with beer!!

Sashimi Pricey but very fresh. Available in two sizes, large and small. You may cringe, but my favorite thing to do is soak the fish in the included shoyu & mustard sauce overnight, and pan fry it in a little oil the next day. Holy YUM!

Ahi Lipoa Pokē Yowza, I've found my new favorite flavor! It's simply salted and the natural flavor of the ahi is enhanced with lipoa seaweed, kukui nuts, and green & white onions. So refreshing, subtle, and excellent with beer! Highly recommended.

California Ahi Pokē It tastes like a traditional Cali sushi roll with fresh ahi but minus the rice. Avocado, nori bits, imitation crab, and green onions = heaven!

Opihi I got the shelled ones that were salted and tossed with limu. Super pricey at around $65-$70/lb. but so worth it! Of course they're not as crunchy as I prefer, but not having to pick and shell them myself are my positives. They go easy on the salt and were a bit heavy on the limu.

Tako Pokē The tako were nice and firm, and finished in a light sesame oil, green onion, chili, and salt mixture. A splash of shoyu is probably needed, but I'm trying to be a good boy and watch my salt intake!

Seasoned Sea Snails This little 9.8 oz. tray is imported from Japan and contained about 6 shelled & cooked snails about the size of escargots, soaked in a mixture of soy sauce, mirin (Japanese wine), and seaweed slices. The snails were firm, chewy, and not offensive in any way. The flavor was very light, so I dipped them in shoyu for an added kick. Good, but I wouldn't buy them again. I'd rather spend my money on ophi!

Limu Tako Pokē The tako was cooked perfectly, tender yet with lots of chewiness. The salt flavoring was just right, with the limu, green and white onions adding even more delicious notes. My new fave.

Sesame Tako Pokē - The tako was firmer here, finished with sesame seeds, a light sesame oil coating, green onions and red chili specks. Very good and not spicy.

SERVICE: Always fast and friendly.

TIP: They don't follow the hours of the grocery store and close around 7pm.

Amazing diamond in the rough (or in this case, hidden hole in a wall). Oki's is inside of Foodland, as you enter, on the far back left corner.

You can get the Poke in either 8oz (1/2 lb) or 16oz (1 lb). Or the better option is the Box, which is 2 scoops of any of the poke you like, plus 2 scoops of rice (white or brown), and add furakake on there if you like.

1. ($14.04) 5/5: Box lunch - 1 scoop of Salmon shoyu, 1 scoop of cali ahi poke, brown rice w/ furakake.

The Poke here is a lot better then most places (sorry Tamura's), but it does taste a lot fresher and more flavorful. The brown rice complements it well if you want a change from mixing it w/ white rice.

This is take out only, no tables in the supermarket to dine in at. I'd recommend if you're planning on meeting w/ friends at any open food truck eateries, grab Oki's to go and meet there and eat with your...

This place is located in Foodland your poke stop! They have fresh fish, a good variety of poke and even opihi. They had a nice selection of about 10 different types of poke, fresh and previously frozen. Prices were average, $11.99-$14.99/pound for poke. We came early so it looked like they had may have more but didn't put it out yet. They didn't have tako poke when we went which is my favorite.

The lady was really nice and let us sample some of the different poke. The ahi with sea beans poke was my favorite. The sea beans has sea beans (sea asparagus), green and white onions and tobiko. It had a nice flavor and crunch to it.

Stop and get a poke bowl!
