Makana Hawaiian Bbq Poke

Excellent fish tacos. Poke bowls are great as well. Fast delivery. Always on point.

I like the ambience of this place. It?s humble, the natural light is nice, and the mural of Makana is quite tasteful. What was not tasteful, however, was the food. I ordered their loco moco. When I first got it, I was confused as to why there wasn?t gravyon the dish. Then, I opened up the burger patty and saw that it was still raw inside, but charred on the outside. I didn?t wantto keep on eating it, so I asked the waitress if me and my friend could get another one that was cooked (we ordered the samething). She saw the mistake and took the initiative to correct it with the kitchen. When she returned the dishes to thekitchen, I heard one of the kitchen staff blatantly say ?this is fine, they don?t know what they?re talking about?. My friendsand I were seated by the kitchen door, and to hear that was quite disappointing, because I know what raw meat looks like. A fewminutes later, the new loco moco dishes came out. Everything was over cooked, and it simply was not a good dish. At least theyadded the gravy. As someone who?s eaten many a loco moco in the past, this is not an authentic representation of it. The fishtacos and spam musubi were fine. However, it was missing seasoning and acidity, crucial elements that make up Hawaiiancuisine. I would not recommend eating here. The quality of the food needs improvement, and the price simply does not reflectit.

Pleasant little Hawaiian restaurant, lots of plants make for a warm interior. It?s small but I think they do mostly takeout business. I used to stop here for takeout while my dad was in occupational therapy up the street. My memory of those meals isthat they were better than my recent lunch. We had the loco moco, very tasty. My huli chicken was kinda overcooked, dry and notas scrumptious as I remembered, still pretty tasty though. I?ll give it another try. Side note, you guys are using a lot ofplastic. Please do better. I know it?s difficult but it bothered us to see so much plastic waste. Mahalo!

Usually Makana is excellent. However when I recently ordered the garlic shrimp bowl (delivery), instead of the usual pink juicy garlic prawns they were horrible gray color and felt and tasted like cardboard. I don't what happened but they literally were inedible. Be careful with those prawn bowls. They are also small for the price, I get the salad base and though pricey it's never enough food. The fish tacos are pretty good though smothered in way to much sauce. The sushi is good.

This place has good food but bad service they never answer the phone, and this isn't the first time this is like the 7th or 8th time on separate days. so it's either you walk in or order online or else they ignore you completely I know I've called 6 times today back to back.
