| - Great place to get a big meal for good value. I typically get a Medium (rice, 2 meat, 2 sides) with white rice, katsu, mochiko wings, and double garlic edamame. It's a lot of food and I can rarely finish the whole thing in one sitting unless I'm really hungry. If you order katsu, they cut it right in front of you before they add it to your plate. Don't forget to grab some Katsu sauce before you eat! I personally don't eat Poke, but when I eat at Makai with friends, they rave about how good the Hawaiian style Poke is. They order it every time we come, so it must be pretty darn good.
Their system is similar to Chipotle/Subway where you go down a line, tell someone what to put in your order and so on until you reach the register to pay. Sometimes the line gets pretty slow and it seems like they run out of stuff often, then you have to wait a bit for a new batch. Maybe I'm a little unlucky, but they never seem to have mochiko wings when I come in, so I end up having to get double katsu more often than not. I'd recommend coming well before closing time to ensure that they'll have the meats you want. I typically take my order to go, but there's plenty of tables if you choose to eat in. Still though, Makai is a good option to fill any cravings for Hawaiian food.
