I stopped by the Poi Bowl at Ala Moana Mall and ordered the Trip Stew, which turned out to be great. It tasted exactly how my mom used to make it for me.

Located in the food court of Ala Mona center in the basement floor, Great place for local specialities! Portion sizes are MASSIVE for the price. Lomi lomi salmon has a salty dish made with tomatoes and onions, but there was very little salmon. Poi is a bit sour, but that might not be everyone’s taste. Overall, you do get a massive amount of food for the price and you get to try all the local specialties in 1 plate!

Prices have gone up. 14.40 for a mini plate. One choice and rice and Mac salad. Not worth it. Won't be eating there ever. Such a shame on ripping off customers.

We got our food off of DoorDash, I’m a local and I am very picky with my Hawaiian style food. 10/10 with the laulau it’s not just pork it is real laulau with fish in it not too much kalo leaf I love the stem and they had that. Hot and ready to eat! My husband got the loco moco, now it’s his place to go next time we visit. He said it was the best loco moco he had in his life! My son is not a pork eater but loved the Kalua pork and rice. I’m picky with my chicken long rice I would say 8/10 cause it needs more ginger and green onion but it was still soooo good! We got kanak attacks after eating it. The poi just want to add in here is a bit too runny for me but still good. 👍🏻 and the last part the lomi salmon that one was a bit too salty but still 10/10 ! This is true local food and I will be back to try the other plates!!!

Food and service is great, but it's a food court - can't say much about atmosphere.
Food court, but quick and friendly service. Good portion sizes and options.

There are set menus, but the basic system is to choose one to three side dishes.The main ingredients are local Hawaiian foods, so if you don't have prior knowledge, you won't really know what the flavors are or what the ingredients are, but I don't think you'll be disappointed.It's getting more expensive every year, and it doesn't feel like a good deal because it's like, "Hey, this is only $20," but since it comes with a heaping portion of rice and plenty of side dishes, it's more than the average Japanese person can eat. To do.(In that case, I would like it to be a little less expensive.)

Poi Bowl has been at Ala Moana a really long time. I remember because I worked at Ala Moana for a good number of years and it was always there. It’s good to know some businesses are still around but in order to stay that way you gotta have good reasons for people to keep coming back. Unfortunately offering another scoop of rice when the mac salad ran out isn’t going to cut it. Especially when paying $18 for a plate with a piece of dried hamburger. The curry with it was decent, the potatoes were cooked good and the plate had a decent amount meat but considering the price, it’s not enough to bring me back I’m sorry to say. Just my honest opinion.

I brought a friend from the Mainland to try Hawaiian food. We came to Poi Bowl at Ala Moana Center. The menu is easy to read and food was fresh and delicious.
