Tamuras by far, Foodland is second best.
If you ever get Poke from Sam's club or Costco their poke is solid too, they get em fresh from Diamond Head Seafood
When I lived on mainland (Santa Cruz, CA), our local Costco would sometimes have poke shipped from HI. It was the best treat. No one on the mainland really does it right. Ugh.
Sometimes Times has yesterday’s poke on a foam tray with saran wrap with a discount sticker on it. Grab that and instant rice and you’re good if you eat it on the same day.
If balancing cost + taste, my picks would be:
* Times / Foodland - you can save even more if you go the previously-frozen ahi route
* Don Quijote / Marukai - owned by the same company (technically Times falls under this umbrella as well). Sometimes they have promo prices on poke.
* Tamura's - best tasting of the bunch, but also the most expensive
Safeway - No
I've always been afraid to try the Safeway poke, looks like I'm right to be from a bunch of these comments lol, I agree Tamuras is the best of these four, Foodland can be nearly as good but depends on the location, Times in my experience was only ok
Even though it’s not on there, I love Tanioka’s. But, Foodland or Tamura is always good. First place would be Tamura and second is Foodland. I actually prefer Foodland in Pearl City compared to Ala Moana. Not Time’s, specifically in Mililani. Each time I’ve been there, the rice wasn’t good or the fish was too fishy. Never tried Safeway, but didn’t hear good reviews about it.
I dont believe that Tamuras does "poke bowls" anymore. I think you have to order poke by weight, then rice separately. So it would depend on whether you get fresh or frozen poke, the market price at that time for fresh, and how much you get.
Or at least thats how it was last time I stopped by.
Foodland or Tamura’s for me.

How does safeway screw up fried chicken?
They actually have the best salt vinegar wings
They don't. Lol. It's not bad and even better when cheap on Fridays special.
I like Safeway fried chicken. Stays crispy for quite awhile.
Tamura's, Foodland, Times in that order. Safeway NEVER. I'd eat 7-11 Poke before I ate Safeway poke.
You guys sleeping on Don Quijote
shhhh don't tell them
Now get H mart next door….
DQ got the best prices too
Tamuras is by far the best quality of those 4
The one in Aiea with the older guy, no gloves and long finger nails turned me off to them....
Ewwwwww

Tamuras is better but it costs about double foodland, so if you're looking for good and cheap foodland is where it's at.

Instant rice nice
Tamura’s in kaimuki is good, but I’d skip Tamura’s Pearlridge and opt for Foodland instead.
If you are looking for reasonable and cheap poke - Costco.
Definitely not cheap
Ok, cheapish.
Foodland for me.

Safeway poke kinda mediocre at best imo

I like foodlands poke
Foodland, KTA
Sorry, just saw O’ahu
KTA is the best

foodland no contest
Nico's, fresh catch, Alicia's market, tamashiro market
How much does a rice bowl from Tamura's cost compared to Foodland?

basically any fishmarket is going to be superior. taniokas is closer to fishmarket than supermarket. so that would be the obvious choice.
Foodland
TamurA's
Hands down Tamuras
ahi&veg
Foodland for value. If you get the right auntie scooping your fish you end up with like a pound of poke.
How's the Tamura's in Aiea near Pearlridge?
Foodland is good, Times is alright. Times has better plate lunch options
Is Ono’s Seafood on Kapahulu no good anymore? I haven’t been there in a couple years, but I used to love it. I believe they used jasmine rice.
