| - Seriously the best Hawaiian Poke place I have tried so far in Las Vegas. Other places don't marinate their fish and still call it poke, but Paina Cafe marinates their fish and makes it more Hawaiian style.
I always get their Salmon Poke, and the price varies but it is usually around $10 including tax. You can also get their poke by oz without rice and toppings and that is usually around $8 including tax for 8oz Salmon and Ahi Tuna. Their Ahi Tuna is okay, but it is not as good as Salmon, and they get their 5 stars because their salmon is so good.
Paina marinates their salmon in soy sauce and what taste like ponzu (but I don't know for sure) with onions and other stuff, and it really brings out the flavor. Also, because it is marinated the poke doesn't have a fishy scent either. When you take a bite in to the salmon poke, you get all the deep flavors and the salmon is so tender it will melt off your mouth.
I do have to include that their rice is not cooked all the way sometimes and that you can crunch into your rice. That only happened twice, but that is why I get their poke by oz not the whole meal.
Paina also serves some great Hawaiian treats such as ube rolls and pastries and even snow puffies when you order beforehand. The ube rolls are delicious, but I am not really into sweet pastries. However, if you really love pastries I recommend it!
Their service is also great! And what I love about this place is that service is pretty fast. That having said, try Paina cafe rather than some mediocre poke places that costs just as much.
