Hidden away in the back of Chinatown’s Kekaulike market you will find the freshest and tastiest poke spot in Honolulu, Hawaii. Brothers Junichiro and Ryojiro Tsuchiya took what they learned in Japan as fishmongers and opened up a poké stall, aptly named Maguro Brothers. They visit the local fish market every morning to pick out the best fresh fish, used to serve up super fresh sashimi, grilled fish, and ahi poke over rice.
This was filmed before the coronavirus pandemic.

I miss Maguro Bro’s poke bowls. I used to have takeout at their Chinatown location during lunch. At first I was skeptical about their food cause of the location, but boy was I wrong. The fish is always fresh and well prepared. My favorite is mixed poke bowl - spicy ahi and shiso ahi. This is the only place that I trust to eat raw fish in Honolulu’s Chinatown. Both Jun and Ryo are very friendly. Great customer service even when when they are busy. Ryu always waved and say hello/hi whenever he see me. Thank you Jim and Ryo for their good, fresh, and affordable poke and sashimi. 😋
