long lines for a reason. good price for what it is. classic hawaiian poke - fresh and tasty. none of that mainland style with pineapples, corn, garlic chips.
We order the number 7.l: Fatty Tuna, King Salmon, Hampshire and Madako. It was the best I've ever had. The fish was so fresh and tender it melted in my mouth. 100% 10/10. It was worth finding this whole in the wall shop!!!
Maguro Bros came highly recommended and did not disappoint! VERY fresh seafood for a very reasonable price! I got tuna, uni, ikura, and oysters and all was extremely fresh and delicious! If I lived near here I would eat here ALL THE TIME. Would probably stop by for lunch every single day lol! Wish we had a place this fresh, convenient, and affordable in SF! This location was inside a foodcourt near Chinatown. Will definitely visit again when I'm back in Hawaii!
Quick service and lots of options. We wanted poke without rice and they offered it. There are tables in the food court for dining and people-watching.
2 words to describe Maguro Brothers (MB): FRESH FISH When in Chinatown, my go to place is MB. There are so many options but the freshness of the fish from MB is unlike other places. The poke bowls are made to order and mixed fresh. So be patient as it just makes the poke so much better tasting. As you bite into the pieces of ahi, it just melts in your mouth. You can just taste the freshness! My absolute favorite is the spicy ahi. It is a tad bit spicy for me (yum!) but if spicy is not your thing, I'd recommend something else. If I could, I'd order everything! Seating wise, there's a couple tables in front but you may need to hunt around. It's to be expected though of Chinatown and that marketplace. I hope that MB will consider opening a shop outside of Waikiki or Chinatown..maybe somewhere that has more parking options haha! But if you love poke, you NEED to try Maguro Brothers!
Probably the freshest poke we have ever had! Very fair pricing with amazing quality My husband got number 21 poke and I got a small salmon poke prepared similarly with a side of UNI! The poke spot is located inside a marketplace food court where you find a bunch of other meal options Highly recommend
A friend happen to come across this poke spot while looking around in Chinatown and holy crap did he find a gem. The poke here was fantastic. It didn't even look like a poke spot at first glance because of all the fish and seafood they showed in the front, but it had some amazing poke.
Very yummy & fresh fish located in the back of the marketplace! They conveniently have dining tables and plenty other food stalls in the hall that you can grab other food/drinks from. I came with my friends for lunch and the service was nice and fast. I ordered the chutoro donburi and my friends ordered different chirashi bowls. Everything was delicious! The fish was super fresh and yummy. I also liked the tamago that was added in. Will definitely be back for the poke.
Super fresh chutoro that doesn't even necessarily need all the condiments to go with it to scarf down. Located inside an indoor marketplace/eatery food court in Chinatown at the very end of the court! You pass by a bunch of fresh fruit and fish on your way. We ordered the #2, which was chutoro sashimi, some tamago, and brown grain rice for under $20. Not much to share portion wise, but may be good for a light lunch. You can eat there or grab it to go. Little shop has some friendly staff! The food hall itself leaves some room to be desired sanitary-wise, but hey, it's part of the Chinatown ritual. Restroom is out the door on the left side!
Came here because my favorite Chinatown poke place was already closed (Kahiau). I've been to Maguro Brothers many times before and they are still fresh and ono tasting. Ordered the #22 Hawaiian; local tuna with limu seaweed, chili and sesame oil. This is a quintessential poke combo. The fish was clean tasting and soft. They used Hawaiian salt which gave a nice crunch, but did get a bit salty after several bites. Also ordered #21 Spicy Mayo; local tuna with masago, chili, and mayo. Wow, this one was kinda spicy for me. Most places you go to the spicy ahi is just "spicy", not here though. It was a nice little kick. It wasn't overly creamy/mayo-y. Only gripe was that some of the pieces of ahi were stringy, but it was not grisly at all. The rice was good and they get your order out pretty quickly. Choice of regular or XL size. They also have some cooked fish dishes and add-ons like ikura, scallop, and uni.
