KAINALU POKE offers excellent customer service, always attentive to allergies, and provides fresh fish and perfectly braised beef. The restaurant is known for its authentic Hawaiian food, with everything being very fresh and delicious. The shoyu sauce on the ahi can be a bit salty, so it's best to use it sparingly. Popular choices include the Kala Bowl and Ka Lā Bowl, which feature hamachi, truffle oil, and avocado. Customers have enjoyed the PU'UNUI Bowl, praising it for being fresh and tasty. Specials on sashimi are available in the fridge and are worth checking out, as they include fresh salmon, ahi, and hamachi cut from whole chunks at the time of order. Though a few dollars more expensive, the superior quality and quantity make it a worthwhile visit for those in the city center. Visitors also appreciate the variety of options and the quality of ingredients, with some mentioning the sweet potato with spicy ahi as a favorite. The restaurant’s location across from a popular bar with live music makes it a great spot for food to go and enjoy with drinks. The neighborhood is beautiful, featuring many small cool shops, and the place is especially convenient for cruise travelers, being right across from the port. While most customers find the food fresh and tasty, some mention that the pork belly plate could be improved with more rendered fat, but overall, the experience is enjoyable and worth the visit.
