Kamé - Snack Bar Hawaien is praised for tasty poke bowls and a diverse cocktail list in a warm, Hawaii-inspired atmosphere; reviewers describe fresh, flavorful bowls and good value for a quick meal, with the option to sit in the food court or take away. Some notes mention portions can feel small for the price or that sauces are add-ons that can raise the total. A gluten-free request was mishandled in one visit, leading to soy sauce contamination and disappointing service, while other comments point to teens at the counter who seemed distracted. A large rat trap near seating was also mentioned, detracting from the experience. Overall Kamé seems to offer a flavorful, vibrant experience with creative dishes and a fun vibe, though experiences vary in service consistency and portion size.

« Le Kamé, c'est vraiment un coup de coeur ! Tout, absolument tout, était magnifique. L'ambiance est unique, chaleureuse & dépaysante avec une touche hawaïenne qui nous transporte ailleurs. Le service est impeccable, attentionné du début à la fin.
& que dire de la nourriture ? Fraîche, savoureuse & pleine de créativité - chaque assiette est un petit voyage gustatif. Mention spéciale à leur bière maison Kamé (Gose lime + poivre long) qui complète parfaitement l'expérience, rafraîchissante & originale.
Un endroit qui vaut clairement le détour, où on a envie de revenir encore & encore. Bravo à l'équipe, c'est un vrai bijou ! 🍹🍍🌺 »
They make really great poke bowls here! The serving sizes are great for the price & will definitely fill you up, it's a great place to grab a quick lunch or you can stay in the food court to enjoy it if you prefer.
J'ai payé 18 dollars & j'ai trouvé au final la portion vraiment vraiment petite. Je n'avais pas réalisé avant de commander. Surtout que chaque sauce est un supplément (& je n'en n'ai pris aucune). Considérant tous les choix que nous pouvons trouver au Central, je me suis finalement sentie un peu lésée. À considérer lorsque vous ferez votre choix de restaurant. Mais c'était bon.
My husband & I stopped by this foodcourt for a snack after a long walk. I have celiac disease, so I know it is always a risk to try a new restaurant, however what happened here was definitely unprecedented. I asked the server if I could have my meal gluten free. She helpfully said yes, we will just remove ingredients from your meal. Generally, poke bowl is pretty safe for me to eat as long as soy is not added. This team of two people seemed to know the drill. Somehow, between the time it took for me to order my food & for the cook to make it (approximately 2 minutes), they'forgot' & doused my rice in soy sauce despite it being'so simple' to fix it gluten free. My husband & I were the only customers in line, there was no rush, & I don't believe we were rude in any way. In short, the error was verging on intentional given the circumstances.
By the time I noticed the soy sauce, I had already eaten a handful of the meal & it was too late to undo this mistake. They did not reimburse us, instead opting to make another bowl, this time correctly, as if this would somehow fix the original problem. The server & cook were obviously teenagers, so it seemed petty for me to make any kind of complaint or persist in asking for a reimbursement. They could barely tear themselves away from their cellphones when we approached the counter. I don't think they would understand the gravity of their error given their obvious immaturity. I will now be sick for two weeks, despite being reassured that this would not happen. If there was an adult working there, I might have had a discussion with them, but I suspect an adult would also have cared enough to prevent this kind of problem in the first place. I would not recommend anyone with special dietary needs to try this spot because you cannot trust that they will prepare the food correctly. Also, there was a giant rat trap next to where we ended up sitting. Icing on the cake.
