What happened after Food Paradise?

On Food Paradise's "Aloha, Hawaii" episode, Tanioka's Seafood and Catering was featured for its Waipahu poke counter, spotlighting the shop's fresh ahi and namesake plate-lunch bentos alongside its full-service catering menu. The market-and-catering business sits on Farrington Highway in Waipahu, Oahu, and has built its local reputation on wedding and funeral catering in addition to its walk-in poke and bento counter. Tanioka's own website, last modified 2026-09-02, lists current walk-in hours (Wednesday through Sunday, 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.) and an active online-ordering system for same-day and future catering orders. A Google Places listing checked 2026-09-08 lists Tanioka's as operational at its Waipahu address. The business requires catering orders be placed and confirmed through a company coordinator rather than online alone, according to its website.
