Sometimes the line is shortl and sometimes there's a line to the door, but never out the door. They're properly staffed and efficient, so there's never too long of a wait. Other than poke, this place also carries other Hawaiian specialties such as shortbread cookies, chips, nori, and other delicacies in their freezers. I really like their salmon with ponzu sauce, ahi with chili oil, and spicy avocado ahi. I've tried other flavors, but those three are my faves.

HELLO???? WHERE HAS THIS BEEN ALL MY LIFE????…read more Who ever made this poke deserves EVERYTHING THIS LIFE HAS TO OFFER THEM! Everyone helping me was extremely sweet, patient and thoughtful. Yay! First of all, the freshness? Hello... it tasted like they just went fishing 3 minutes ago and cut it up. The variety alone deserves applause. So many options. I got the tako, salmon, rainbow, scallop, and ahi poke, and I regret NOTHING except not ordering a second bowl (I'm big). Every bite was perfectly seasoned, balanced, and melt-in-your-mouth good that I literally could not keep quiet. I was straight up saying "oh my god" between bites... The textures? 10/10. The flavors? 10/10. I would travel the seven seas, walk across the Sahara desert with no water, and braid grass just to be able to eat here every day. If you are even thinking about coming here, stop thinking and GO.

Then they said that the good news was that I earned a $15 off coupon for next time. I said that that is what they told me last time but it clearly isn't true. They said sorry "must be something in the system". Who knows? Maybe they will say that again next time.

I still have regret that I couldn't try the oxtail soup or the sweet and sour spare ribs, but I'll be back. I got the combo plate with lau lau and Rry's fried chicken. The Lau Lau was very good: the meat was tender and I liked the taste of the Ti leaves. It was less seasoned than other Lau Lau I've had, but it's easy to add shoyu or salt to preference. The fried chicken was very good. The batter was shatteringly crispy and the meat was very juicy. To note though: it's not a Hawaiian fried chicken where it's marinated in soy/ginger first (like mochiko chicken), but more like a very good version of mainland fried chicken. Also, the Mac salad was very solid, My other regret was that they were out of malasadas. Apparently, they sell out pretty quick so I'm going to try to come close to 11 am next time to snag one.

We ended up ordering about 7-8 lbs of poke salmon, tuna, crab, and yellowtail for 11 of us at the Airbnb. It was really nice of them to accommodate this last minute request. Anyways, I want to highlight the fish here. It was so tender and the quality of every bite really stood out. I took a few bites and this literally took me back to Oahu Hawaii poke... I am not exaggerating at all. I am from socal and this perhaps was the best poke I've had in the states. I literally am craving it as I'm typing/posting this review. Just the freshness and the quality was on another tier, it was literally the same as having poke on the island. Highly recommend coming here and will not miss a chance when I'm in Vegas.

Located in a strip mall with plenty of easy parking (always appreciated in busy Chinatown), this felt like a little slice of home the moment we walked in. I ordered the Large Crunch Spicy Tuna and added taegu and furikake -- and wow... it tasted exactly how I remembered it in Hawaii. Fresh, flavorful, and perfectly balanced with that addictive crunch texture. One bite and the nostalgia hit immediately. We also came on the right day because the Wednesday special was a steal: Garlic Chicken (sub Portuguese sausage) for $10. Honestly one of the best food deals I've found in Vegas lately. The garlic chicken was savory, comforting, and paired perfectly with the rice -- simple food done really well. And if you're coming with kids (or just love dessert), don't skip the mochi donuts. My kids demolished them within minutes, and the taro flavor was the unanimous favorite. What I love most is that Paina Cafe doesn't try to overcomplicate things -- it delivers solid Hawaii comfort food that feels authentic, satisfying, and welcoming. If you're missing local-style Hawaii plate lunches or just want something different from the usual Vegas options, this spot absolutely hits the mark. Will definitely be back when the island food cravings kick in again.

Not many establishments have soft shell crab, tempura shrimp or even octopus. Yes this place has these as choices - without an upgraded price! You can also choose any one of their many sauce combinations. They have savory, sweet, fruity and umami flavors. I've tried most of them, and they are all very tasty and refreshing. This place goes the extra mile. One of the guys that was preparing my hubby's poke burrito didn't make it right, and I saw that the manager step in and show him how to make it. This is the kind of customer service and leadership that speaks volumes. Even the manager came to our table and gave us the original burrito for free! He didn't have to do that; we didn't even ask. But we appreciated this kind gesture. The workers here are well trained and are very friendly. Every time I visit, someone always says bye and thank you to me as I head out the door. Even the ambiance is friendly! They have photos of cute dogs, a claw machine and family friendly movies playing on the TV. Very ohana vibe. I know there are other poke places in the area, but I guarantee that if you give this place a try, it will easily become your top go-to. The variety of proteins, stellar service and relaxed, friendly vibe will keep you returning as a happy and loyal customer- like me! :)

Even though some things are made to order, there weren't many options available anyway. I ended up ordering the two choice poke bowl with shoyu ahi poke and the spicy ahi poke. Overall, both pokes were so bland and flavorless which really surprised me. The portion was also on the smaller side. Everything is made to go as this isn't a dine-in place. There are some tables outside but the seating is limited. They don't have a bathroom for customers but if you ask nicely they may let you use the "out of order" bathroom haha. Well, was it an off day? Maybe. But I'm in no rush to try this place again.

Dining area is small but there's adequate seating for a table, by the window, and along the wall. Menu offers a great selection of chicken, shrimp, steaks, salmon, ahi, pork, as well as Hawaiian plates, island favorites, fried noodles, and poke. I ordered my go-to for Dynamite Chicken Katsu (mini, $13.52), its crispy breaded chicken, meat is tender and moist, has amazing wasabi aioli and spicy sauce drizzle, very savory and wonderfully delicious! Served with tasty crab potato salad and kimchi. Also had Fried Noodles (mini, $7.28), the egg noodles are delicious, topped with chopped scallions and kamaboko (Japanese fish cake), it's really good! Spam Musubi ($4.16) is tasty! It does need sauce and there are condiments like soy sauce and hot sauce available on the table. For a lovely treat, they make the best Japanese Milk Pudding, it's delightful and not too sweet! I ordered a regular ($5.20) and tried Ube flavor ($5.20), both are yummy! Ube flavor is so good! The milk pudding has a delicate, silky, bouncy texture, and comes with a sweet Japanese syrup. The milk pudding on its own is so YUM! The syrup itself is very sweet, so only pour a little bit. They also have fun cookies on display locally sourced from The Cookie Bar. I tried Crème Brûlée Cookie ($4.50), it's a huge sugar cookie with a beautiful crisp glaze and is very sweet. MacDaddy Cookie ($4.50) is excellent, it has white chocolate chips and macadamia nuts, this one taste great! Service from Koltyn and Zadus is very kind, welcoming, polite, and friendly!

Heard good things about this place and wanted to try lots of things so we got two combo plates. First combo was the garlic chicken with shoyu poke. Being from Hawaii this was as close to home as you can get on the mainland. The chicken was nice and crispy on the outside while soft on the inside. The poke was spot on as if it was flown in from Hawaii. Second combo was the ahi katsu and meat jun. Katsu wasn't too crispy since there was a lot of sauce but the flavor was pretty good and ahi was cooked well. The meat jun was soft and seasoned well too. Overall, great to have this place when you want local Hawaii style foods as someone who is from Hawaii. Good variety and everything on the menu was pretty good and very filling. Definitely felt the kanak attack after we finished eating!
