Hawaiian Poke Bowl Ice Cream Vegetarian Vegan Options

Review Summary

Kamé - Snack Bar Hawaien draws praise for tasty poke bowls and a diverse cocktail menu, with freshness and creativity in the dishes repeatedly highlighted. The atmosphere is described as unique, warm, and transportive thanks to a Hawaiian vibe, and service is frequently noted as attentive from start to finish. The spot is seen as a good option for a quick lunch, whether ordering to-go or staying in the food court, with bowls generally described as filling for the price. A vegetarian poke with mushrooms is among those highlighted as particularly tasty. However, value can vary, with mentions that one bowl like the WAIMANALO portion felt small for the price and extra sauces can add to the cost. A gluten-free attempt ended badly in one case when soy sauce was added accidentally, causing illness and prompting complaints about training and reimbursement, though some staff were kind. Safety and cleanliness concerns were also noted in one visit, including a rat trap near seating. Bubble tea is described as divine by some, and a house beer is mentioned as a refreshing accompaniment.View restaurant profile
