Came here with my family during our trip! Good: - Fast in and out! We placed our order and could self serve the toppings a la carte - The flavor of the poke was great! Not the best I’ve ever had but it was really fresh and tasty and filling - Good bang for buck Bad: - No seating indoors - It’s a little chaotic and busy while ordering, the service is a bit rushed Overall I understand why this is so popular!

It was our first time here so we didn't really know how it worked. Staff could have been a bit more friendly and helpful. Poke was delicious. Toppings are 7.99/lbs additionally. Got a 2 scoop poke with some toppings and paid almost $17 (I think there is an automated service charge included).

Sitting in the car right outside the Fish Express after mopping the BEST poke I have ever had in my life. Loved everything about it. From the sushi rice, to the fresh poke, to the toppings bar, and the service. The poke on Maui has to step it up now, I have a new standard 😅

I got the poke bowl. It was pretty good. The fish did have a few hard spots in it so a little better trimming job would of got 5 stars. Overall. It was good but not sure if I was good enough to go back.

My favorite poke place on Kauai. Everything is so fresh, so tasty, and the selection is generally great (in the morning and early afternoon). The dried and smoked marlin and ahi is top notch as well. You can tell how fresh the fish is if you get a packet of sashimi. Prices are reasonable. Toppings are an extra 7.99 flat (as of 8/2023) if you already have a poke bowl, so definitely load up on those. Don't forget to grab a musubi at checkout too..

I have been eating at The Fish Express for over 15 years, and I have never been disappointed. Always one of my first stops when on island. Their poke is always fresh and delicious with a ton of variety, nice selection of local fish for the grill, and AWSOME hot lunch plates…..with the BEST potato mac salad on an island. People working here are always friendly and helpful. The food is so good that they get very busy….please be patient and replicate their Aloha. At peak hours, I usually just park at Walmart and walk across the street. Plenty of places with a nice view to enjoy your hot lunch, but I usually never make it out of Walmart’s parking lot. LOL

Poke bowls are great. Fresh and delicious. Must get the sushi rice! Add your own toppings. Good for take out only, lacking a dining area.

My husband and I stopped in here to get some poke and were so happy with what we got. We got sushi rice, he got three scoops and I got two. We tried the Maui onion, spicy ahi and the other spicy ahi. The self serve topping bar was awesome as were the sauces. I highly recommend if you want fresh fish poke!!!
