Poke Stop — Restaurant in Oʻahu

I found Poke Stop via google maps when I was searching for take-away food.

I got the Executive Chef Plate (kalbi-bone-in, Garlic Shrimp, fish of the day and choice of poke). Instead of a side of potato salad, I asked for kimchee. It also comes with choice of rice (brown, white or sushi). And I added Spicy Garlic Tots and a container of ginger.

For covid- this place is asking that one customer/group in the building at once, then you will wait outside for your order if there is another customer. This felt totally reasonable and they were very fast getting me the order. There is no tables to eat in.

I think for the cost, you get a great amount of good. The Kalbi was just delightful. The shrimp were tasty. Personally, I got too spicy of a poke (I should have asked for a sample, my bad). The fish of the day was a white fish that seemed pan-fried. I think the kalbi and the shrimp were my two favorite parts. The tator tots were tator tots. Like what can go wrong.

Anyway, it was wonderful. I highly...

The good: the lady working was very nice and gave us a lot of food

The bad: the food. The rice was not cooked all the way(ie: crunchy) and mushy because they had too much water when it was cooked. Since I already bought it, i tried to find if any part of the rice was cooked all the way, but it was a big no go. The whole bed of rice was all bad. Additionally, i think the fish was not fresh either. Something about it was off and i guess the rice being bad was a good thing because i could only eat just a small portion.

It's too bad because the place has good reviews and the amount of food given was...

Mmmmm-mmmm-good! We ordered the smoke meat plate, bento, sides: cracklins and eggplant fries. Everything was AMAZING! The bento was more than enough and because they were out of one of the items for the bento I was able to sub it for some poke. The shoyu ahi poke I subbed it with was melt in your mouth deliciousness! The cracklins were little puffs of cloud 9 with just enough seasoning! The eggplant fries...caused my tastebuds to celebrate! And the smoke meat and bento was just perfect. We came to eat at Popeyes, discovered it closed but was hungry so came here. I am sooo HAPPY...
