Third time here and each time has been fantastic. I’ve tried the teriyaki tiki bowl, and build my own bowl twice (once with sesame garlic noodles, once with cauliflower rice). Everything is seasoned well and cooked to perfection. It’s plenty of food, filling and healthy too. Don’t miss out on the chocolate chip cookies!

Delighted to discover a restaurant where EVERYTHING is Gluten-Free. That even includes Gluten-Free mac&cheese, brownies, and chocolate chip cookies. The owner told us that his son was diagnosed as Celiac three years ago, so I am confident that I can trust his Gluten-Free promise. My wife and I both had "BBQ Luau" bowls. Tasty, and very generous portions. The decor is fresh and clean. We'll be back.

I just tried this place for lunch today for the first time and it was so good! I got their signature ahi bowl and mandarin cardamom Fresca to drink. All of the components of the bowl were cooked well and each had fantastic flavor. The broccoli and Brussels sprouts still had a bite/not over cooked like most places. Noodles were cooked properly, the ahi was fresh and the sauces were flavorful. Just the right amount of spicy. I practically licked the bowl. I am so picky about food and I’m really excited to have such a tasty and healthy option here now. Can’t wait to try the other bowls! Oh and they were very friendly as well :)

My wife told me about this place months ago and we were eagerly awaiting the opening, we made it over today and had an amazing experience; atmosphere is fantastic, and staff was extremely friendly and willing to help explain what was in each option. I've been hoping to have a healthier option like this in the area where I can get real food and veggies that taste great, and Mahana delivered on all fronts. The coconut rice was perfect and not overly sweet, veggies were fresh and flavorful and the chicken was unreal. Give this place a try!

Excited to have this new restaurant in Parkside! I’ve had the Teriyaki Bowl and the BBQ Luau Bowl so far, and both had great flavor and were very fresh. The chicken had the best flavor of any bowl I can remember having. Loved the char on the broccoli, and the buffalo cauliflower and roasted sweet potatoes, were all delish. Flavorful sauces came with each bowl too. Perfect portion size, reasonable price. Great location next to Rosecomb Beer Garden if you want to grab a bowl and take it next door. The owner is so friendly and kind. We need a place like this and I look forward to many more yummy bowls!
