I had a hankering for Hawaiian food one day and wanted to grab and go from somewhere quick. I haven’t been to Yama’s Fish Market in years and years so we decided to give it a go! Kind of realized why it has been years since I been there…(sorry!)…
Sweet Sour Spareribs | $11.85
This was not my dish. Feedback shared? Was just alright, nothing special.
Baked Seafood Salmon Belly | $11.85
Feedback shared, overcooked and smallish portion!
Mushroom Chicken | $11 (around there, I forget, sorry)
Okay, this was my dish. This was a daily special and in my head – I imagined a nice creamy mushroom chicken dish. They run out of Campbell’s soup or something? Haha nah, just joke. It tasted alright but I really expected it to be the creamy mushroom gravy so it wasn’t enjoyed as much. The gravy was a bit more soupy too so I didn’t feel like it stuck onto the chicken as much as it should have. I wouldn’t get this again.
Squid Luau (16 oz.) | $9.65
I used to love getting their squid luau. The only way I can eat squid luau is with choke choke choke sriracha. I don’t know why, why do I even eat this dish if I drown it in hot sauce? But somehow the combination just works so well for me. The taste is still the same and still tastes good, maybe my own tastes have changed. Anyway, I splurged a bit for this – this side cost as much as my plate!
The plus side was that we got there and the lot was basically empty…when the lot is full, you know it’s crazy to get in and out of. Does anyone know what that empty lot next to Yama’s is? It’s like a huge parking lot but I don’t know what for? It’s just locked up.
I love squid luau so now I have to try it with sriracha! I also love sriracha!

Oh nice! Let me know how you like it when you try this combo!
bummer the mushroom chicken wasn’t a creamy style sauce
Agree! Hmm now I need to find a place that does…or maybe I gotta make my own…
I like their fried rice and sometime I get their Hawaiian plate – which is pretty good. But I always go there just before a trip to buy dried ahi poke with or without garlic. And pipikaula. They are super nice and instead of those plastic containers, I ask them to pack it in ziploc bags so it fits in the cooler better.
Too bad your plate lunches weren’t that good.
Never tried their fried rice! Will try it next time! Dried ahi poke? Never tried that before…always love your tips!
