Don’t judge a book by its cover.When we pulled up to this place and it looked kind of sketchy but don’t judge a book by its cover. This place has some of the best poke on the big island. It is literally Poke To Your Taste you put everything on yourself. Overall it is a great experience I would definitely recommend.

Fun place. Great fish, mix your own poke. No complaining, because if you don't like the taste, you mixed it wrong! $7.50 for half pound of ahi. Get some.

I was very skeptical of this place based on the sketchy dilapidated exterior. However the quality poké did love up to the reputation as well as the ability to dress and season your own serving. Decent prices too!

This is the definition of a "hole in the wall." It's a small shack just off the road, and it doesn't look the most appealing inside or out. That said, the woman who seems to run the place was very welcoming, was very kind, and helped us season our poke just right. There is no place to sit in the restaurant, and the place is not air conditioned. Great place to stop in Hilo if you're driving around the island.

Great hole in the wall that serves ahi poke and a couple of other dishes. The fish was fresh and flavourful, and you can help yourself to a wide range of toppings and sauces. Very friendly owners. There is no space to eat though, so it is take out only.

Don't be intimidated by the exterior. Visiting from mainland and the nice lady at Poke to Your Taste showed us how to sauce season the poke. Very friendly. Grade A fish and it was delicious. Super satisfying and not too full and not hungry.

Went to Hilo with my adult Sons to visit our Cousin before heading over to Waikiki for a week. My oldest Son and I love fresh poke. We are from Vancouver WA so fresh poke is not happening. Looked up this place before we arrived. We got to Hilo on Saturday night and of course too late to rush over to Poke to taste and of course they are closed on Sundays. Monday morning arrived and at 7AM we were there. Absolutely outstanding, Words can explain how good it is.Not only did we go in the Morning, than went before it closed that afternoon. Got up on Tuesday before we left and got some more before our flight left to Honolulu. its a two thumbs up

Poke to Your Taste was top notch. It’s one of those hole in the wall that you’ll never ever forget because it’s THAT good! Literally a hidden gem. The owners, Carmen and Jason, were so nice and accommodating and even offered a list of must-see spots in the island. Their poke is so fresh and is the most reasonably priced in the island, given the portions. This no-frills spot is perfect for when you know exactly how you want your poke. And even if you don’t, they’ll help you out with some suggestions! You gotta eat here!!!

This place is just great. For people that are picky about what's on their poke you can't beat selecting your own ingredients and you always know the fish is super fresh and hasn't been sitting in sauce for hours or days. Make sure to stop here before you go to the airport so you have the best snack on the plane.

Got poke after eating at nearby vibe cafe and was pleasantly surprised ! The lady working here / owner really made the experience a great one. She’s the sweetest and was very informative and proactive with teaching us about the toppings and how to mix and match. We are pretty familiar with poke but she made it fun. Process : order the fish / poke you want. They only have tuna from my experience. Then add the toppings you want (seaweed, sesame , Wakame, sesame oil, soy sauce, spicy mayo, crushed nuts of some sort that were the original poke flavour?) then that’s it! Also sell musubi. Very reasonably priced.

I went here a whole year ago and I'm still thinking about this place. It's the best poke I had on the island, and so cheap. The place looks like a little hole in the wall but trust me, we drove half an hour to eat here every day. It's simple, you flavor it yourself however you want. I want to be able to taste how good the fish is rather than have it slathered in sauce and seasonings like at some of the more popular, expensive poke restaurants. The owner is nice and polite.

I'm from the mainland so maybe you could say my standards for poke are not as high as other's? This poke shop was unassuming, but worth the stop. You get to add your own toppings and sauces to your plate. The fish tasted fresh (No fishy aftertaste!). We also got the spam musubi which was still warm. Yum!
