Kainalu Poke

I ordered the Kalā bowl. It came with a large scoop of rice, small scoop sweet potato mash (i chose this for my side) and like 1/4 pound of hamachi poke. I paid almost $20 for barely any poke... However 2 stars because the poke was flavorful, and I enjoyed the pickled jalapenos and peppers... u should add more poke to your poke bowls... just saying.

Ordered the Kakaako bowl with sushi rice, ocean salad and shoyu Ahi. What I got was spicy poke with white rice and ocean salad, I think they mixed up my order with another customer. The portion size did not match what was shown on the picture. The bowl was filled only half way. There was only 1 scoop rice and the portion of poke was small. Poke had a lot of onion and avacado, I think so they could cut back on the actual fish? I prefer Cooke street market that is located a few blocks away

Incredibly fast and convenient, this team of happy professionals did an excellent job with my Pu'unui Bowl for lunch.During my first visit, the gracious cashier shared with me, specials of the day and a sample of their Lomi Salmon.I appreciated the option to have tossed greens instead of rice. The variety of mixed greens were fresh and not wilted. The generous chunks of salmon were nicely seasoned to order and the avocado was a nice touch. I requested they hold the cream cheese.For the side, I selected their seaweed salad. They were quite generous with this :) Loved the ikura on top to complete my bowl!Thank you for a delicious and healthy lunch. I appreciate the quick and convenient location as I walk over during my lunch break. Will certainly return to taste other menu items.

I came here after getting all glammed up at my hair salon nearby. Also nice and refreshing to have fresh fish afterwards. I didn't know they didn't always have specials.The Kala bowl still remains my favorite in which I'm too scared to try a different poke, hamachi, truffle, avocado - those are a few of my favorite things. Wish I had noticed the specials on sashimi on the fridge on the side, definitely gonna check my eyes and look their first next time, some $15 for some sashimi that looked pretty good.

Went here to try their "Kainalu bowl" which comes with your choice of poke (I got shoyu poke), kalua pig, and lomi salmon for $22. It was a lot of food packed into this bowl! The poke was real salty but overall not bad. They do validate for parking here at Waterfront tower. They also offer student discount specials to HPU students here since there's some HPU classes in Waterfront tower.

Decided to check out this new poke shop in Restaurant Row. It's a small shop tucked away on the makai side, with just enough room inside to order.Immediately my first impression was of the friendly employees working. I wanted a spicy salmon bowl and they were able to make it for me by augmenting their Pu'unui bowl, which comes with salmon, avocado, and ikura. Plus one point that it came out to be a dollar cheaper than the build your own bowl.The portion size was a good amount of fish, coarsely diced. Their spicy sauce is a little different from the usual spicy mayo. It has a thinner consistency with some bold sweet and spicy flavors. It was a little strong though, so I would have liked a little less sauce or maybe dilute it. Ikura and avocado were nice additions. I got the sweet potato salad as a side, which I agree with another review that it was a bit too vinegary, but good.The location is convenient, so I'll for sure be back to try their other options (poke nachos look good!).

Shoyu chicken, Mac salad, rice, rice baby! The chef has specials, and this is a first time addition. 1. Chicken is cooked all the way through - zero pink.2. Chicken is juicy and tender, with flavor all the way through. SLOW COOKER MAGIC! 3. The sauce is a winner, he used the one with the ginger in it, so it's PERFECT. 4. Don't need a knife, 'nuff said.5. The Mac salad. It has a balanced ratio of mayo to Mac to shredded carrots. Not too sweet, not too rancid, but just right! It is served on a bed of shredded cabbage and it's one big scoop of rice instead of 2 regular ones - Don't worry though, the rice to chicken proportions were flawless. This whole plate was flawless.

Kainalu Poke, a seafood dream,Five stars gleam in your culinary stream.Fresh flavors dance on every bite,A poke paradise, pure delight.

Are here on a whim as we wrapped up errands downtown with the fam. The food was good -- and the staff was friendly. Food came out quickly. They need a bit more seating, but otherwise, it was a good experience. Steak bowl (special) had good portions and the lobster bahn mi was also delicious and the poke bowl had big servings.

Fresh fresh poke! We got ahi poke bowls which were super fresh and delicious. Portions were average but enough for lunch. We got a poke bowl and ribeye steak plate which were both very good. Will definitely be back!
