Makai presents itself with the same set up as your typical Chipotle with the option of assembling your own meal. I got the large portion with 3 protein options and 2 sides. Here's the catch, the protein option is not a set base price for all protein which makes it a bit misleading. If you decide to get the steak it's extra, if you get the poke it's extra. I have no problem with paying more for better quality meat but it should be made more clear. As for the meat itself, they sit in warmers which did not do a great job keeping the meat warm. The steak was tender but the poke was very salty. Now on to the sides, I chose to go with the mac salad which was good and the garlic edamame was as well. Makai is a nice option if you're on this side of town and seeking a clean Hawaiian food option. There are areas where they could improve but if you get just the basic meats without up charges it is a good deal.
