Best POKE ever. Well I'm coming from California and this place was recommended to me from a family member who lives in Hawaii. From what I saw this place is different from the poke shops opening up over southern California where the fish and toppings are set up in an line and your bowl is constructed like as if it was part of an assembly line.
Upon entering the restaurant the owners greeted us and knew the order for the person I was with. After we confirmed our order the owner did the same for the following few customers. I have to say that in it's self was impressive that the owners know their customers this well. I mean it's not uncommon but it's definitely a dying art in the food service industry.
We got our food and sat down. The inside is a tight fit, so maybe not the best place for a birthday party but a group of six or less should be just fine.
The food on the other hand.... Freaking delicious I got the "regular" size and I have to say it was more than enough. Two massive portions of ahi one spicy and one not spicy (I forget already what it was called), and some white rice. Flavors we're well balanced. Just the right amount of onion to give it a little crunch and bitterness, which was offset by this drizzle of some sauce they put on top.
By far the most enjoyable poke I've had and I will be making a few more trips back here before I leave back...
Read moreI was visiting a family member at the PCNH facility and had to step out for a moment, so I walked over to Poke On Da Run for a bite to eat. I had always heard their food was really ono, but since I usually wasn't anywhere near them during their business hours, I couldn't try them until now...and I'm so happy I did. Their mini Poke Bowl (for just under $17) with spicy ahi (half pound) was really delicious and filling. Note: Many places I have eaten the spicy ahi at tended to overuse the mayonnaise in their spicy ahi, Poke On Da Run had the perfect balance. I had considered getting the regular bowl (one pound poke for about $31), but now I know that would have been too much for me to eat. I also ordered the Scoop Scoop (fruity, icy treats for $5), but I will probably have to eat it a bit later (still full). Excellent food. Really quick and friendly service. It's worth the visit and the...

If there is one thing to get here, it's the Poke Nachos. It's huge, worth the price, and delicious. Just a giant mound of fresh fresh tuna smothered in their sauce on top of crispy chips. It was sensational.
It's a small shop with a couple of seats and really fresh fish. I saw a guy bringing in the fish at 12PM and cutting it for the lunch group. It's so fresh that they do run out and you have to wait until they get next batch of fish so that part kind of sucks but worth it!
I shared the nachos and it was still too much but because my eyes are bigger than my stomach, I also had to get a mini rice plate. I thought the Kalua pork was delicious but paled in comparison to their fish. The portions here are great and the price is not so bad!
If you happen to be on this side of the island driving towards north shore, then definitely make a pit stop here to pick up...
