our first stop in hawaii just had to be 🐟 Our first stop after the airport was our poke bowls. The senses were overwhelmed in this establishment in the best way but I'm so happy to have our first stop after long travels. What's your favorite food to eat when in Hawaii? 📍 The Fish Express • • • Taken in October 2023 #thefishexpress #kauai #kauaifood #kauaifoodie #kauairestaurants #kauailife #kauaitrip #hawaii #kauaihawaii #foodie #foodblogger #foodvlog #vlog #vlogger #fyp #explore #travelwithme #travel #kauaiadventures #poke #platelunch #foodvlogger #kauaieats #fortheheart #kauaiisland #travelblogger #traveltips #traveling #vacation #traveler #kauaithingstodo #kauaitiktok #kauaitiktoker #kauaigirls #kauaiaswhy #wheretoeat #kauairestaurant

Was recommended this poke place by locals, and it did not disappoint. They have a poke menu and another cooked fish based menu. We wanted to get one serving of each, But they stop serving the cooked fish at 2pm. You can choose 2 or 3 scoops of poke for your bowl for 1 dollar difference in price. We ended up getting two 3 scoop poke bowls (1: Maui onion, spicy lobster, spicy salmon and asparagus. 2: spicy ahi, wasabi shrimp, smoked salmon). After choosing your rice and seafood, they have plenty of toppings to choose from including seaweed salad, kimchee, pickled ginger, edamame and many more. It was a big portion for the price and so delicious. The smoked salmon was sweet and savory, it stood out as my fav. Poke is amazing everywhere on the island, but this had such a good variety of fish with fun toppings it is an easy pick and our fav so far.

Out of this world poke! This take out seafood deli in Lihue is in itself is worth a trip to Kauai! To the traditional Hawaiian poke of skinned and deboned raw fish served with usual condiments of sea salt, candlenut, seaweed, and limu, we added a bunch of toppings to our preferred bed of sushi rice. My favorite toppings were the tangy mango, cucumber and mussels. But everything from avocado to edamame would work to complement the high quality of the yellowfin tuna (Ahi) and yellowtail tuna (Hamachi). We came here twice in a row and took the bowls to a nearby beach for lunch. Can’t beat that!… almost forgot to mention that the service was also outstanding!!!… and that believe me when I tell you that this place, the malasadas coffee shop, alongside with the 🏖 and helicopter tour were the highlights of my visit 😋

Straight off the plane, had to stop and get my poke fix. I was hoping they’d have a good selection because it was late in the day and the fresh poke is usually gone. They did. Highly recommend the spicy shrimp, cali poke, and limu poke on sushi rice. You can add toppings, but I didn’t. My brother didn’t tell me til after we paid, but they have a great selection of toppings if you want to add to your bowl. I’m good with fresh poke and rice. I wasn’t impressed with the Tako, I think the black pepper kind of threw off the taste, but that’s a personal opinion. Still ate it all so it’s all good, just probably won’t get it next time. The staff is nice too so that’s always a plus coming to a small shop!

Come here for the poke! I got a poke bowl here and it was so yummy! I got the shoyu ahi and the Maui onion ahi on sushi rice. I topped it with pickled ginger, cucumber, edamame, and a salmon pico de gallo thing. There was also the option for spicy mayo, unagi sauce and wasabi. I tried both the spicy mayo and eel sauce and both make for a great bowl. Sauce is also definitely optional as the fish is seasoned itself. The ahi was very tender and melted in the mouth. Highly recommend the poke here. The rest of my family got fish tacos here. They said the tacos were good but not quite filling enough. (They got 2 tacos for $15.) Pros: Yummy poke Fast service Cons: Other food there is a tad overpriced

This was our first stop upon arriving Kauai. There's less than 10 parking spaces. I felt rushed when ordering. It was my first time so I wasn't really sure what to order. I was trying to check out all my options. I ended up getting two orders of the 2 scoops poke meal for $11.99 each which somehow ended up totaling up to $30.70. Once they give you your bowl you add the toppings you want then they weight it. So really the price you see on the board behind the counter is not the actual price you pay. I thought it was pretty pricey for the portion that I got. The poke was basic. With all the other poke places on the island I guess it's good to try at least once.
