Edit: used to be 2 stars upgrading to 5
I thought there was an issue with my order (soy sauce instead of ponzu) and called the restaurant about it the next day where the employee said I could get a bowl on the house. I went in and he was super helpful letting me taste the sauces (upon which I realized that the ponzu just tastes like soy sauce and so the issue I had wasn't even an issue in the first place), and was generally super nice about it
Didn't catch his name but he used the bowl that I was getting on the house to train / test a new employee and I could rly tell he cared about the new guy's learning
I enjoyed my bowl a lot more after modifying the sauces :)
Old review: I've had good experiences here in the past but the last one was kind of disappointing
Firstly the bowls are way smaller than before (another review mentioned this as well). A bowl used to be almost 2 meals for me but now it is just 1 D:
Also I got a ponzu salmon bowl but they put soy sauce instead of ponzu so now I just have really salty salmon D: and REALLY salty rice...

The spicy tuna bowl is super filling and delicious

We like Kahuna, but just ordered from there tonight and the bowls have become tiny - like less than half the previous volume. The price has not changed. Difficult to justify the cost for this portion size.

Besides the food being so delicious that I am willing to drive the hour that it takes to get there from my house, the service is awesome! The workers are so nice and patient with you, and one went out of their way to accommodate a food allergy I have. By far my fav place!!

Made my own bowl with my favorite toppings. Great flavors in the sauce, and tuna and other ingredients were fresh. I have to say the food is great value to the price. However, I do with the base was a little more. Whether its rice or zucchini noodles (I chose zucchini noodles) I was there was more to balance out the abundance of sauce. Next time I would get the white rice, which I think will go well with the ponzu sauce.
Otherwise, I would come back again for some more.

It was our first time at Kahuna.
Based on the area, you'll need to find parking either on the street or a parking garage.
We spent roughly 45$ for 2 - $15 bowls with rice and then 2 'kids bowls' with rice, and 'veg' (we chose edamame and cucumber for each child based on their preferences and the employee helped us choose a topping for the kids bowls, advising what was spicy or enjoyed typically by other kids.
There was no standard chicken or beef option, which does limit who I would be able to bring here based on pickiness. Overall I was very pleased, and the raw salmon in my bowl seemed high quality and was delicious.

Great customer service & price for what you get. Huge portions. Everything was very fresh and the bowls are made in front of you. I got the poke bowl and it was delicious.

My hubby and I went here for lunch. The food was delicious and reasonably priced. The only reason I gave it a 4 star instead of 5 is because, the indoor venue is small so it's best if you're going alone or as a couple. There are no tables that would comfortably seat 3 or more. Also, there were no options for cooked meat/fish in your poke if you wanted that. I love sushi so I was all about it, but my husband isn't a sushi person so he would have appreciated the option to cook the salmon or have grilled spam or something like that.

During my first visit to Kahuna, I was overall impressed. I was just regular hungry, so I ordered a regular sized bowl, and was impressed with the serving size. There were two ice cream scoops of tuna over brown rice.
Any sort of line at this place could overwhelm a two-person staff, and one of the staff was clearly very junior, but I had a good experience on Sunday afternoon.
Finally, the place was very clean and water was self service. Not a lot of seating for parties larger than 2.
