Tanioka's Seafood And Catering

This place is always busy because the food they serve is always good but a little pricey. But the line in the store moves pretty fast.

Highly HIGHLY recommend! The best Poke i've ever had, hands down. The service was some of the best service i've ever had, as well. This will be our first stop when my husband and I return to the Island!

Busy busy busy is what this place is haha. There was a line outside on a Friday morning, and even longer lines when lunch hour was approaching! Note: If you order online, make sure it's for the day and time you want. I tried to place an online order but the order wouldn't be ready till 2 days later lol so that's why I had to go in in person to order my food! However, the line moved at a decent speed. I think I waited for maybe 20 mins? Once I got to the counter, the service was very quick as there were a lot of staff working together for different section of the counter. What should you get? That's the big question as there are so so many things to choose from. I highly recommend their shrimp stick with sauce (without sauce would be fine too) as that was one of the most delicious shrimp thing I've had! You won't regret it. For the poke, I loved their furikake salmon and the ahi limu. The fish was fatty and smooth without the chewy tendons. Both flavors were seasoned well without being too salty. However, I would avoid their wasabi miso tako (octopus) and their sesame tako as well. They're both overly sweet that they tasted kind of disgusting. The tako also wasn't very tender. I couldn't finish it. The is a place where locals and tourists go which explains why it's so busy! It's definitely NOT a hype. It's legit. If you're in Waipahu, do yourself a favor and give it a shot if you haven't tried it yet!

We read online that this was the best poke on the island and were not let down. We got the volcano poke and the tempura bowl, which were both amazing but not even the best part. We asked someone behind the counter for Silverware, who we later learned was the founders son. He talked with us for 15 or so minutes, and his generosity was relentless. He kept giving us sample after sample. It was my first poke experience, and he insisted that he wanted to be a witness to my first poke and gave us a sample of the best poke I would probably ever have. Justin and his establishment are truly one of a kind, and we are so thankful that we decided to stop by.

Must make multiple visits. There are sooo many great selections to choose from! We waaay over ordered, but we had to try as much as we could! Food is great!!
