Thank you for all the years of amazing top notch poke bowls! I was so sad to see the closed sign today. Best of luck with your new ventures and know the poke crunch bowl has a special place in my heart as my absolute favorite treat!

Paina Cafe - Koko Marina
This is one of the first Poke shops I had visited when I moved to Oahu, from the Big Island.
I went to buy Poke today and was so happy with the results.
I ordered a Limu Poke with some Sriracha Sauce on it. It was the perfect way to end my day.
Sat by the beach with my friend and talked stories all while enjoying this fresh bowl.
They have a lot of options and specials so I hope you have a chance to check them out

The best Poké I've had. They were out of the beef that went along with the bowl so I chose the Kailua Pig which was delicious. I will make this place my go-to spot when I come back!

Unassuming entrance, poke was really fresh and great value for the money. My partner who doesn't even like mayo loved the creamy sauce on his seared ahi. I really enjoyed the salmon poke, plenty of masago too. On a whim we got the lychee Italian cream soda, and it hit the spot on that sunny day. There is outdoor seating around the back of the building with a view of the water.

Perfect, well-priced poke bowls. I could come here every day!! Great service too and friendly people. Their Paina Bowl (pictured here) and Poke Crunch Bowl are to die for!

The poke salads are good here. In general, all of their poke choices are tasty.
Most people come here for their poke bowls - white or brown rice avail. Had their Hawaiian bowl when I was looking for a heavier meal.

I'm not that into the poke bowls so I got the portabello mushroom sandwich. My God! One of the best things ever! Fresh, sweet bun, with a large and beautifully grilled portabello. Swiss, lettuce, tomato and this amazing lemon citrus aioli. Unbelievable. Really.

Had a late lunch after a hike .Even at 2:30 on a Saturday the place was full so I took that as a first good sign. The variety of options on the menu made it work for me and 2 difficult kids. My Nicoise was awesome, as was the California Bowl one kid had. The other one didn't like the grilled cheese but it was fine.

If you're in the HK area and want your poke fix, Paina Cafe is my favorite choice. I especially love the Crunch Bowls which you can choose your poke...usually I go with the Spicy Ahi. They pack it with lots of poke and just enough rice. (Don't you just hate places that give so little poke and too much rice?!) Many of their other dishes are pretty good so you really can't go wrong. I've tried their plates, smoothies, teas, dips, salads...and they are all pretty good.
There aren't many seats inside so you may have to sit outside, take it home, or take it to the beach. Love Paina Cafe.. wish they would open one on the Windward side!!
