A Taste of Moloka'i

Moloka'i


For a heaped bowl of the best poke in town, head to this humble food truck. It serves fresh fish straight from the surrounding seas dowsed in shōyu, spicy or masago sauce. Order cubes straight up or on a bed of rice. In the mornings, try the yummy acai bowls, heaped with your choice of blueberry, pineapple, mango and more.

More inventive poke bowls include the California roll (with avocado, imitation crab, spicy ahi and cucumber) or the somen-noodle poke salad (with noodles, cucumber, red lettuce, tomatoes, crab meat, tofu and ahi poke).
