Las Vegas is seriously on the come up with island food. They don't refer to us as the 9th island for nothing.
Makai is located on Fort Apache, right across from Walmart and in the same plaza as Sweet Addiction.
It kind of reminds me of Chipotle in the sense where you get to choose what you want in your order. They have an assortment of sizes to select from that all vary in the base (white or brown rice), meat (chicken, steak, ahi poke, etc.) and a side if available. You can also choose to add on a side if you'd like. The ordering is pretty straight forward, so just go for what you'd like. If you decide on the poke, there's a regular one and a spicy. I opted for the spicy and it was delicious!
The restaurant itself actual resembles Chipotle too. It seriously is, just the Hawaiian version of it. The food is amazing and the staff was nice. There's a lot of seating inside, but if the weather permits.... Definitely choose to sit outside as there are seatings on the side.
Our first visit will definitely not be our last! This place had my boyfriend claiming it to be his favorite and I expect us to be visiting again shortly.
