I can't decide between 3 and 4 stars. I'd say Paina is 3.5 for me. I may have to try more food items to see if I like it more... I tried the poke bowl and really wasn't impressed. The fish was fresh but I could of used a larger variety of toppings. The rice to fish ratio was not balanced. My bowl was mostly rice.
What I have really enjoyed here is the desserts! Originally from Ono Sweets, they are definitely a reason to return. I tried the North Shore Tarts, Ube Puff, and Coconut Cake. All sooo good! My favorite was the Ube Puff - moan worthy!
I will return to try other things off the menu to see if I like it more. I look forward to trying the inari. Looks really good!
