    Chicken in the bowl was so dry it was not edible. Mushrooms being full mushrooms I wasn't expecting that. And minimal broccoli in my bowl. There was too much chicken. One thing I can say is that the zucchini brownie was absolutely delicious and warm!!!

    Goodness gracious so salty!! i had already eaten, and i didn't want to order anything with so much sodium anyway, so i just grabbed a few pieces of my husband's bowl. (even he thought it was too salty, and he loves/craves salty things!) "extremely flavorful" is how i might describe it. a whole bowl full of stuff that might be better eaten in moderation. take a look at their nutrition information on their website. the sesame noodles alone (which are made from konjac, just a heads up, just in case you also hate konjac) have 420mg of sodium. add on the cilantro green beans (280mg) and sesame ginger broccoli (430mg) sesame garlic tofu (320mg) and citrus ginger dressing (360mg), you're at 1,490 mg of sodium (the RDA for most people!! in one meal!) if you're a cilantro hater, i do admit, the beans aren't too soapy, so in case you would have otherwise turned them down, they're doable. and even with alternative choices, choosing the lowest sodium items, you have the rice (100mg) or coconut rice, which i assume is actual coconut rather than rice? (why else would the protein be 1/3 that of the plain rice? at 20 mg) i'm personally omitting the quinoa and spinach because of my kidney stones, but those are low sodium too, in case you eat those. then your only other lowest sodium veggie options are the green beans (280mg) and roasted mushrooms (210mg) topped with the tofu (320mg) and instead of adding even more sauce, opting for an avocado add-on (10mg) which still adds up to 920 mg of sodium. 2/3 of a day's allowance. and it's not a huge serving, so if you would be opting to eat it over two meals, you'll probably still be hungry.

    Let me tell you why you need to check this place out. Mahana Fresh is the new way of fast food — quick, casual, but super clean and healthy. Everything is fresh, everything is gluten-free, and it’s totally vegan-friendly. You can build your own bowl or go with one of their popular signatures, like the Teriyaki Tiki Bowl or the Protein Bowl. I even tried their mac & cheese topped with barbecue chicken — total flavor bomb. And yes, they’ve got desserts covered too — gluten-free chocolate zucchini brownies, chocolate chip cookies, snickerdoodles… clean eating but still indulgent. I love this whole concept — it’s fast food that makes you feel good inside. Hopefully we’ll see Mahana Fresh make its way to Monmouth County soon because I’d be a regular. Eat clean, feel good — that’s the Mahana way
