Aloha Poke

"This was first, last and only time. Young man NEVER changed his gloves between varying tasks of food prep , handling money and credit cards and use of cash register. NEVER!!! Food prep required touching everything with his hands, including raw fish. His excuse was there should have been a second person working with him. Then there was the matter of the second door, marked above as an exit. But it was locked! And as a final turnoff, one of the 2 tvs was tuned to boxing, not an inviting view for a dining experience."

"We've enjoyed poke at many restaurants, so we know what it can be, and this isn't it. My biggest concern by far was that every piece of the (raw) salmon I tasted was room temperature, not even slightly chilled--a health disaster in the making and the main reason for only one star. Without sauces, the salmon was also flavorless (poor quality and/or old), although admittedly finding good quality fresh fish in a small desert town hundreds of miles from an ocean is a long shot. But based on good quality food elsewhere in the area, we had some hope; dont make the same mistake. The poke approach here is a buffet with dozens of potential ingredients but no guide as to which ingredients work well with which sauces--not helpful to those who aren't familiar with the options--and the staff don't offer any help. (When you get to the end of the buffet line, there are illustrations of two possble bowl combinations--too late to do anything different.) The bowls themselves are 1/2 the size of a nomal poke bowl, and the cardboard bowl itself doesn't add to the experience. And then you get the cost: $40 for 2 small bowls and soft drinks, which would be fine for normal size bowls in a real restaurant. Bottom line: tourist trap. Hint: if you do go here, stay away from the raw fish. And please don't judge good poke by this experience."

"I went with a hiking group and afterward we came into town for a little bite to eat. I am so happy there was a healthy choice for me and we decided to eat here. The salad definitely made my way and was very fresh and delicious. The service and atmosphere was great. I definitely recommend trying this spot whenever you're up in this area light healthy salad choices."

"I loved the food here! I was worried because of one review I read, but the place was super clean and fresh. I've never been to Hawaii, so I can't say that it's authentic, but it was really tasty!.I'll definitely come back."
