I love their focus on more fresh and healthy food. The poke it self was low in sodium but still tasteful, which I loved because allot of places over salt their poke. The only reason I gave them a four star was because my rice was dry and grainy. We ordered the Hawaiian Poke Bowl and Hawaiian Plate. Which by the way is such a nice shopping center that has everything you can think of. Paina is the located in Koko Head Marina. Me and the BF settled on some Bubbies to cool off then some regular Food. Went to hike Makapuu lighthouse today and needed a spot for some Ono but not so heavy food.

My experience today will not stop me from coming back though! Hopefully I’m able to get the full experience I always expect next time. This location is my favorite though it was never a hit or miss til today. A lot of parking in the area but it gets crowded so be prepared to drive around a couple of times. Do not get me wrong, the ahi bowls are so fresh and delicious, I jut would have enjoyed it more the way I ordered it. We were the only party in there so I am not sure how our orders were wrong. I was too hungry to take it back, another person I went there with order the California Bowl. No one in our party ordered brown rice so I am not sure where that came from. I received a small poke bowl, with teri glaze, over brown rice. Today we hiked all morning and sought necessary to replenish with some ahi poke bowls! I was looking forward to it all morning! I asked for a spicy ahi crunch bowl small size no teriyaki glaze. It doesn’t matter if I came from a gathering with lots of food, I will make it a point to come here for a poke bowl. Any time I’m on this side of the island this place is a must.
