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. 😋
Y'all notice how at 0:59 he says it's only him and his brother "studying" These guys have been doing it well for 7 years and he's still thinking like a student. That's how you become a master. Always improving.
If you’re wondering if they are as nice as they seem - the answer is ‘yes’. Also, it’s so good! I live out on the west side and drive to town just to have their misoyaki salmon.
That’s why they’re business thrives, only the best produce, their work ethics are very strong, and they’re so different which is why it works. May them and their business be blessed with many more decades to come🙏🏾😊
Thank you for posting Maguro Bros!!! Its what I've been looking for...a fresh fish place! No frills, no heavy creams...just best fish goodness from humble ppl.
The 123 people who took the time to thumbs down this video are in dire need of sympathy. This is a lovely snippet of people living a life that not only is of those who have a true craft, but those who are sharing it and making a living doing so. Thank you.
Coming from Hawaii, living in Las Vegas currently but whenever I visit back home, I always stop by this place. I stand by the freshness of their food, hospitality and experience. Highly recommend!!
You will not be disappointed with Maguro Brothers. Poke is high end! Their cooked fish regardless oh how it's cooked and seasoned are sensational. 5 stars for sure!
Just got back home from Honolulu Hawaii and me and my wife are very open minded when it comes to food. We tried everything you can think of but the plates from maguro bros took the price as the best thing we tried. We saw the chef there and they were extremely polite like most Japanese people are. Mahalo!
@@crash1802 I understand you bro, I ve been injured like that to , and they don't give a shit about you to offer help, so I moved to Seattle now I've got better paying not do any labor and awesome medical coverage doing Security
🤩Hiiiiii Jun & Ryo!!! 🥳Congrats on the feature! Oh boy do I miss stopping at your spot for the food tours! Thank you for always being so kind to me :) I hope you and you families are well! 🙏💕
“If I can use the local parlance; Broke the Mouth” *says it in the most HAOLE voice ever!!! 🤣🤣🤣....bruddah, if you gone talk like one local gotta say ‘broke da mouf’....🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽
The most AMAZING food and such humble guys! Maguro Bros is always the first stop as soon as my plane lands...and several more times before returning to mainland.
Visited both locations during our trip in 2019. Both times the food tasted great. Hands down the best poke I've had in North America. Will definitely visit again.
@@urielgaribay2880 they're critically endangered in many places buddy, not to mention high in mercury. Also, $4000 is nothing for tuna, every year one or two bluefin tuna end up being auctioned for millions of dollars.
As a Honolulu local, Maguro Brothers is authentic! It’s doesn’t get much more small business than them! Which reminds me, I should get take-out and support especially during covid.
I ate at Maguro Bros. When it was literally A HOLE IN THE WALL in the side of a trailer home outside of waikiki. First place I ever had authentic Hawaiian poke. So amazing to see them here.
Feeling super lucky to have tried this and am so impressed how hard they work! Basically they are between Chinatown and Waikiki all day 6 days a week!!!
The comments sections on these munchies street food icons is such a beautiful place. I guess when you’re seeing such humility & genuine goodness in the world, it’s hard to be any other way. ❤️
I’ve been eating Poke constantly since the lock down, word to Action Bronson ! My tuna / salmon is not this level fresh furr sureee. At 4:04 🤪 🚬, he came after cooking himself.
I am very lucky to have a small japanese super market near me that pay top price for fish from Hawaii and Alaska to be shipped to Illinois every other day... and somehow they still manage to keep prices affordable!
My favorite sushi experience ever, id rather eat here than nobu. That momma makes some mean steamed clams. If you've never tried uni, this is place to do it. The highest of quality
"Just keep going.
If you need to do, do."
Pretty powerful words rhere.
Simple, but strong.
@@ljdoff need to start doing 80 hour work weeks in America to keep up with this work ethic.
😄❤️😄❤️
Rerry buetriful. ( japanese accent)
Hawaii also has another saying:
If can, can. If no can, still can.
🤣
Their humility is beautiful..
Hubris is not a typical trait among the Japanese people.
agree
They will eat all the tuna
farm time
Slime ball
"If you have to do, do."
Spoken like a true magician of his craft & timeless wisdom for the ages.
Almost yoda-ish.
They only have one gear, “GO!” Neva stop
Don't count the hours, if you need to do it just do it.
Yes.
Sensei do poke bowl in your next video! Godbless
You've left your anime cave. Now you're just a normie ;_;
Awesome work ethic! Nice!
That’s a very Asian thing.

@Thejax2234 They are still there at their Waikiki and Chinatown locations. I stop going to their Chinatown location after I left my job in downtown.

How is their business fairing with the pandemic? I hope they are both doing okay.
@@Oro-video no they actually have a lot of people
Good hearted brothers. No air just feet planted firmly on the ground thus their HUGE success. Beautiful.
That’s why they’re business thrives, only the best produce, their work ethics are very strong, and they’re so different which is why it works. May them and their business be blessed with many more decades to come🙏🏾😊
You can you found your purpose /passion when then entire time you talk about it you are smiling
These guys are absolutely class, so humble, kind, positive, and passionate about their craft. Would love to hang out and have a nice talk with them
I'm just gonna cry at the corner while eating canned tuna 😭

The whole time, he was working, talking and doing everything with a beautiful smile.

Two brothers who enjoy making people happy. Happy to have them in here in Hawaii.
One of the best hidden gems on Oahu. Love going there, awesome to see them featured!
🤩Hiiiiii Jun & Ryo!!! 🥳Congrats on the feature! Oh boy do I miss stopping at your spot for the food tours! Thank you for always being so kind to me :) I hope you and you families are well! 🙏💕
Beautiful brothers. This is how it should be, man. Team up with your fam...your good friends, go out there and just DO what you love.
100% legit! My favorite place on the island. Met those guys 6 years ago, so happy for their success. Amazing job!
“If I can use the local parlance; Broke the Mouth” *says it in the most HAOLE voice ever!!! 🤣🤣🤣....bruddah, if you gone talk like one local gotta say ‘broke da mouf’....🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽
Bada you?
Or broke da mout'
Kanak attak!
Their smiles say a lot about their passion for their work
Japanese are really hard working people!!
Their passion and work history alone makes them the best
Only locals will know what that guys ment by "broke da mouth" 😂😂
They seem so happy and down to earth! Best thing is they appear to love their job, which in turn improves their service and food!
These guys are so freaking happy and I love it.
Fresh fish🐠 look delicious 🤤🤤🤤
Missed opportunity for Super Maguro Bros.
Well done sir!
My wife and I went to their locations back in March 2019. The salmon belly was phenomenal.
Angels on earth, their service truly humbles...
I love Maguro Bros! Best fresh poke hands down. 😋
I ate at his place back in may when I was there with my family. He was actually there awesome dude really friendly! The food was so on point!!
The most AMAZING food and such humble guys! Maguro Bros is always the first stop as soon as my plane lands...and several more times before returning to mainland.
I lived on Oahu for a year and this was the best fish I ate the whole time, by far!
These men are an inspiration.
Beautiful. Love their humility, you can tell they are very genuine and love what they do
"If we need to do - do."
There's my motivational speech for the day!
Still the best fish Chirashi bowls I’ve ever had till this day.
Visited both locations during our trip in 2019. Both times the food tasted great. Hands down the best poke I've had in North America. Will definitely visit again.
I would stop here since Chinatown was on the way home to treat myself back during my undergrad years
The guys are super nice and sweet
Very inspiring video of the two brothers working long hours together. The food is so fresh and looks delicious. Thank you.
I love that they love what they do. It makes the food taste better.
Had the pleasure of actually visiting after watching this video. It was really as good as I imagined!
They're humble, hard working and so adorable!!!! I can't wait for the pandemic to end so I can travwl to support them!
They are really passionate on what they're doing, and also the bromance is real!
They’re related...
@@stillalivegettingbetter2942 bro(ther)mance
@@stillalivegettingbetter2942 I know that lol but I admire the fact they get along with each other at work and share the same passion.
Damn did he say $4,000 for those 2 tunas?! Wow.
Uriel Garibay tuna live for a long time and are over fished 😭
Probably returned like $8,000 too.
I vote we replace U.S. holiday main courses (ham, turkey) with a giant tuna
@@urielgaribay2880 they're critically endangered in many places buddy, not to mention high in mercury. Also, $4000 is nothing for tuna, every year one or two bluefin tuna end up being auctioned for millions of dollars.
That's not too bad, considering it costs $1000 or $2000 to buy an entire cow at auction. So basically 1 tuna is the same cost as 1 cow.
As a Honolulu local, Maguro Brothers is authentic! It’s doesn’t get much more small business than them! Which reminds me, I should get take-out and support especially during covid.
Awesome Poke in Chinatown. Those people won the lottery.
👏👏👏👏 this was special! Fantastic highlight on these awesome guys !
I miss you guys so much. Was one of the first costumer when you first came to Chinatown. Hope to see you again when I go home.
Love them! It's clear that they are living so free and joyfully 😄 more blessings to maguro bros 🙏🏼
It's so heart-warming to see those who work with care and passion ♥
I ate at Maguro Bros. When it was literally A HOLE IN THE WALL in the side of a trailer home outside of waikiki. First place I ever had authentic Hawaiian poke. So amazing to see them here.
i don’t even like tuna, but i liked this video and the brothers passion.
finally another episode of street food icons! thanks munchies!
Their chu-toro donburi with king salmon makes all my dreams come true. One of my last meals before I moved away.
You can see how focused and serious he is when competing for the tuna fish he wants at the auction!
When you really enjoy what you are doing, it is never work. These guys are awesome
gotta love unko talking pidgin at 2:25 XD
Always great content from this channel!
I ate at this place and I can’t recommended enough it’s very good a must go if you visit Hawaii or live here try the miso salmon belly!!!!!!
Feeling super lucky to have tried this and am so impressed how hard they work! Basically they are between Chinatown and Waikiki all day 6 days a week!!!

Their smiles are so wholesome 🥰
Ryo and Jun are the best! Been going since they opened in Chinatown kekaulike marketplace. Easily one of the best sashimi places in the state.
Y'all should cover the famous "Tamale Guy" of Chicago. He's about to open a restaurant after vending from a cooler for decades.
Honolulu’s hidden gem. One of the best don buri I ever had 🤙🏿
you know its good when the owner goes and gets the fish that morning!!
I’ve been eating Poke constantly since the lock down, word to Action Bronson !
My tuna / salmon is not this level fresh furr sureee.
At 4:04 🤪 🚬, he came after cooking himself.
These guys are so humble and awesome! 👏👏👏
Man I miss my hometown proud to be a Japanese Hawaiian kid from Honolulu!!!
I love everything about this. I wish the best for theses two guys.
Maguro Brothers are amazing. We ate there our whole trip!
Japanese cookery... in Chinatown, of a Hawaiian city. Amazing.
Mahalo maguro bros! 🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻
As a person from Nebraska. Wish I could try it that fresh. Most landlocked state ever. We barley have lakes.
I'm in Colorado, I feel you.
I am very lucky to have a small japanese super market near me that pay top price for fish from Hawaii and Alaska to be shipped to Illinois every other day... and somehow they still manage to keep prices affordable!
@rocky road true. Guy up the way got some wagu sperm to breed his cows. Only gonna get better!
This video is so wholesome ❤️
Just... take all my money and give me that delicious food.
4:05 my dude has got the munchies HAHA
