I ordered the Paniolo salad and substituted the jicama for grilled chicken, while my mom went with the grilled cheese and tomato soup combo. My salad was pretty tasty! Everything tasted fresh and I like the bbq ranch dressing it came with. I also had a few bites of my mom's grilled cheese and tomato soup, and that was really good too. It's hard to go wrong with a grilled cheese and tomato soup. The only downside I would say was the price. Our meal came close to $40 for a small salad, a grilled cheese with tomato soup, and a drink. It did feel pricey, but I also understand that healthier foods come with a higher price tag. The staff was friendly, and our food came out quickly. Overall, it's a solid option if you're looking for a fresh, healthier meal!

The freshness brings me back!…read more The store is usually very clean and bright. The counter space was also pretty organized. The tables and chairs to sit down were also wiped clean. The cashier was pretty cheery and happy go lucky when I came in. She did not tell me anything, like thank you, after I ordered and went straight back to the island to finish the task she was working on before I arrived at the counter. When she handed me my order, she did tell me thank you though! I ordered the Fresh Island Ahi wrap on this trip. When I got it, it was pretty delicious as usual! I love coming here because the ingredients are so fresh, and the blend of all the ingredients together just hits your mouth as a foodgasm. The only thing is I shouldn't have tried to open up the wrapper holding the wrap together. When I did, the fillings all came out. Lol! I ended up eating it like a salad and a wrap by stuffing the fillings back in. It was still delicious. If I don't get the wrap, I usually get the Ono Island Ahi salad. It's all so yummy! If you are at Pearlridge Shopping Center, I suggest giving them a try! The ingredients are all locally sourced too, which is always a plus!

I've always like the location of this store with the huge parking lot & how clean & well-stocked the store is. The eating area is good sized with a pizza bar, hot soup & food bar, & salad bar. For made to order food, there's a coffee bar with baked goods, sandwiches & burgers, wok bowls, and smoothies. Lots to choose from. We came mainly to try the new promotional mac nut haupia smoothie. It comes in one size only, 16 oz and pricey at $11.99. The drink is ono but I think the toasted coconut made it too sweet. The haupia would have been enough to give the drink that coconut taste. We each ordered the black bean & beet burger - my fave! It's very tasty & a good sized sandwich with toppings of your choice, very filling. I also ordered from the salad bar, the kale & beet salad - another fave! It's the only way I'll eat kale. Over the years I've tried a lot of their food. The baked goods are even better than Starbucks, especially the banana bread & the blueberry scones. Ordering is easy from the kiosks set up in the food area. Since it's all cooked to order, not fast food so it does take a few minutes wait time. Down to Earth is a great place to get some healthy, tasty food, give them a try!

Very Hawai'i. Would definitely come back.

However, they told me they don't take reservations and to just walk in. Well, we got there and had to wait 58 minutes before we got seated. Pro tip: just have them put you down on the list. Don't listen about not taking reservations for large parties. I found out after that a group of 8 got reservations for 6:30 so I was quite unhappy about that. It didn't help that there was a table with 3 people who were there since 3pm (it was already 7:58 at this point) who were still occupying the tables and the staff couldn't make them leave. They eventually moved them to another smaller table, but they could have done that sooner, just saying. Not the restaurant's complete fault, people can be extremely inconsiderate but there maybe should be a system for dealing with these types of situations. All they had were empty bottles, they were not ordering anything. Anyway, we finally got seated, and as expected, the food didn't disappoint. We got the Tasty Chicken (always a must), boneless kalbi (super tender and flavorful), loco moco (one of the best on the island) and oxtail soup (theirs is pretty solid). We also got pumpkin crunch, strawberry crunch, and cream cheese brownie. Everything was amazing as usual and they all said it was the best food they had on-island during their trip. The food was worth the wait, but, that wait could've truly been avoided. It's not somewhere you take a first date unless you are bowling because it is super loud. It is located in an out of the way, not really scenic spot. Parking can be a bear. But it remains to be one of those tried and true "local" spots that never fail to please. *Rating is solely for the food and reliability of the excellent flavors and quality of the food

Service was friendly, quick, and easy from start to finish. Ambience is casual, small indoor seating plus a picnic table out front, perfect for grabbing food and going or sitting down for a few minutes.

The menu is straightforward and the display case shows all the poke styles available. We ordered two poke bowls - one shoyu poke bowl and another bowl with half shoyu and half California. Each poke bowl was $20. The poke bowls come with two scoops of rice and toppings of furikake, sauce, and some crunchy bits. The poke was fresh and delicious. There is a table bench outside to enjoy your poke. Overall, it was good and we'll be back to try the shave ice! Happy Eating!

I asked the worker if it was good...she said it's one of their popular items and felt I would enjoy it so I decided to give it a try. It did not disappoint! It comes with 12 big bite-size rolls (for me, I had to take 2 bites), 3 sauces... I think it was sweet chili sauce, fish sauce and a hot sauce? Not sure but I dipped it in the first 2 and loved it! I'm not too keen on spicy so didn't use that one. I shared it with family and they also liked it. I would definitely order this again! Looking over the menu, prices look reasonable so I'll also try other items. This place is located in the food court on the 3rd floor at Pearlridge Downtown between Yummy Korean BBQ and Sbarro, 3 levels of free parking and a nice and helpful worker.

I loved the overall flavor - wasn't too hot, the chicken had more texture compared to the sample I had before. Chicken moist and tender.

We ordered the spaghetti and meatballs with Italian sausage and the chicken Parmesan with meatballs, and the marinara sauce was the star. To end the night, we had the kahlua cheesecake that was so rich and creamy. The restaurant is BYOB, which is which is fantastic because you're able to share your favorite wine together for a cheaper price. They are short staffed, but they definitely hustled and still made you feel taken care of. Both waitresses were very kind and helpful too. The restaurant itself is small and cozy but the vibe was nice. It was home-y. Overall, I would recommend this to anyone looking for a great Italian restaurant on Oahu.

The salmon avocado roll tasted super fresh but wasn't anything mind blowing. The Domo special poke bowl was just average to me. For the price, I'd rather get my poke fix from somewhere else. But still all the food was fresh and tasty. I have two young kids so it's important that they get a balanced meal when eating out so the salmon bento box was the perfect meal for them to share. It came with miso soup which they loved and healthy sides like edamame. My family and I came on a Sunday for lunch and the restaurant was packed but were seated super quickly. We were all starving and were extremely pleased that the food came out so fast. The staff were so kind and helpful. They made the dining experience so easy. I would recommend this place if you're looking for a casual, quick lunch and don't want to go somewhere that is too upscale with kids. They had a high chair for my toddler and offer free juice for the kids. For the freshness of the fish, and wonderful service, I will definitely be back!
