Paia Fish Market Waikiki - Honolulu

Visited on Friday, Sept 1 for dinner around 630PMThis place is a well oiled machine.People are in and out.I like the no sit policy until you've ordered your food.Definitely come for an early dinner so you can beat the rush. There was a line out the door when I left so they can control how many people are inside.Now onto the food.The fresh fish plates are where it's at.That and the Tacos but I can't vouch for those since I didn't have them.The seafood pasta has too much sauce, a lot of fish and shrimp and very little pasta. They would definitely benefit from LESS sauce and more pasta.We had the Mahi Mahi served charbroiled with rice and house potatoes. The fish was just incredible.Come here for the fish!Prices are reasonable for the serving you're getting. Either one person or can share one plate between two people if you don't eat a lot.

Not really worth lining up for, it’s a fast casual vibe and a bit chaotic. Portions are big but it’s very pricey overall. Might be better to check out Marugame across the street

There’s almost always a line and there is a good reason for it!! The fish here was so tasty. It tasted fresh and you can choose the way they prepare it. I don’t remember what I got exactly, but you can tell from the image, that I didn’t want anything too overpowering. The salad came with many different vegetables even micro greens . We also ordered the fajitas. You can skip this haha. The sauce was salty and didn’t let the taste of fish come through. Definitely just recommend the regular plate with your side choices!

We were in Hawaii for a week and ate every meal out. This was favorite of all. The fish was so fresh and perfectly seasoned and cooked. I would highly recommend visiting and it is well worth the wait in line.

This place is awesome! I ordered the blackened Ono (Wahoo) with rice, potatoes and coleslaw. One of the best fish plates I’ve ever had! I also tried a shrimp taco but it didn’t compare to the Ono. Drinks were great too I just let the bartender suggest whatever and all we’re perfect! The person who took my ordered suggested I have the Ono blackened, which I normally wouldn’t, and I’m glad I did. Moral of the story is, let these people take care of you and it’ll be good! ?
