Ala Moana Poi Bowl is a restaurant that has been located in Ala Moana for a long time, serving local Hawaiian foods. The menu offers set options, with the possibility to choose one to three side dishes. The main ingredients are traditional Hawaiian foods, which might be unfamiliar to some customers. Prices have been increasing over the years, and while the portions are large, some customers find it to be not as good of a deal.

One customer mentioned that the plate they ordered came with a dried piece of hamburger, and while the curry and potatoes were cooked well, they found the portion of meat to be insufficient for the price. However, they appreciated the kindness of the store clerk.

The cuisine offered at Ala Moana Poi Bowl is similar to Okinawan cuisine, with a focus on pork and salt. Some customers might find the strong salt content to be a bit overwhelming, but it can be a great experience to try.

From a Japanese perspective, the individual choices offered in the set menus at Ala Moana Poi Bowl make it similar to a "bento" (a Japanese boxed meal), as opposed to traditional Japanese dining where choices are not individually selected.
