I always pass this place during lunch and decided to try it since I was craving a poke bowl. I got a spicy ahi bowl with salad and just 3 toppings. The ingredients they used were fresh and the spicy ahi was good, but the portion is small for the price and I was still hungry after lunch. The customer service is ok. Maybe I'll try the Pokeway on Bishop st for a better experience.

Things to consider when ordering lunch from here. Please have all staff wear gloves when serving food. I came in today and ordered a medium two choice bowl. The lady who helped me had no gloves on and was clearing the compartments of extra toppings hanging off the sides and throwing in back in to the bin with her bare hands. At this point, I said, "Don't do that." Then she did it again for another topping that I wanted. I then said, " I really wish you wouldn't do that."The other lady next to her was wearing gloves, I really wish I got her to make my bowl.

Beware this locations gift certificate expires after only 6 months. Most gift cards don't expire at all, and if they do it's 1-2 years....they won't honor it even if it's just a few days past the expiration date so it's best not to buy them for gifts...Besides the workers at the Pokeway in Pauahi are waaaayyy more friendlier than the staff here, and you can't use the gift certificate at the other location (unlike subway franchises).

Got the medium size poke bowl with sushi rice, salmon & hamachi with shoyu dressing, ginger, ocean salad and たまご. Portion size was decent, fish tasted fresh (no fishy taste) and the balance of fish to dressing was just right, especially when eaten with the sushi rice.Wheelchair accessibility: Accessible from the street

This is a review for the Pokeway located at Pioneer Plaza on Fort Street Mall. My coworker and I picked up lunch from this location and I was going to post my pics but I couldn't find a Yelp page for this poke shop (only the other [original] location at Bishop Square in Pauahi Tower. When we got to the Pioneer Plaza Pokeway, we were the only ones in line. There were two ladies at the counter ready to take our order. I ordered the two choice poke bowl with spicy ahi and shoyu salmon. The cubed fish pieces are not pre-mixed and sitting around in the sauce. The ladies behind the counter took the plain poke pieces and mixed it with the sauce that you choose (so the ahi was mixed with the spicy mayonnaise sauce and the salmon was mixed with shoyu sauce) and is placed on a bed of rice. You can choose your rice (I chose sushi rice), your salad (I chose Spring greens) or you can pick all rice or all salad. You then select 3 toppings. I chose edamame, imitation crab salad and ogo (seaweed). Lastly, you can pick smaller toppings like furikake (dried seaweed), tempura bits, garlic chips, etc. I added the tempura bits and garlic chips on top my poke bowl. The ladies were friendly and they put together my poke bowl really quick! There are tables and chairs near this Pokeway location, so we grabbed the table that's adjacent to this shop to enjoy our lunch. My coworker ate his poke bowl section by section. I, on the other hand, mixed everything together and ate my poke bowl that way. The salad and toppings tasted fresh, the sushi rice was cooked well, the poke pieces were soft and easy to eat (not stringy like some of the other places in downtown), and the spicy sauce and soy sauce went well with the fish, rice and greens. The crab salad, ogo, tempura bits, and edamame added additional crunch and texture to the poke bowl and the garlic chips kicked up the flavor a notch. Note: do not add the garlic chips if you have an afternoon meeting because you'll have garlic breath all afternoon! Ha ha. This (relatively new) Pokeway is a great addition to the existing and growing list of restaurants and food counters at Pioneer Plaza. The recent addition of Seoul Kimbap to this downtown food court makes it great choice when you and your coworkers can't decide where to eat. You can choose from sandwiches, local plate lunch, Korean, Chinese, Italian, bentos, Vietnamese. Recommend this location of Pokeway for a quick and tasty alternative to a heavy, coma inducing plate lunch. Ha ha :)

Hubby saw this eatery on a local show so while in Fort Street Mall, we popped in. Loved our poke bowls, will definitely go again!
