"Thanks to a recent Yelp Elite Event (YEE) at Domo Cafe Kahala, I was reminded about their use of sashimi-grade fish in their poke recipes and sushi. During the YEE, we sampled their signature fresh yuzu ahi poke bowl and received a sushi set for takeout. We remembered the minimal or no seasonings to the fresh fish allowed the fresh and clean taste of the fish to shine in the dishes, so we returned after working out at our gym.The Kahala location is ideal since it's situated at the corner of Wai'alae and Kīlauea Avenues, with a small shared parking lot fronting the business. However, since we were already at Kahala Mall, we just walked a block over.Upon entry to Domo Cafe, a female counter worker greeted us with a brilliant and friendly smile. We decided to get their poke bowls before entering since we had taken a takeout menu from our first visit during the YEE, so we stepped up to place our order right away. Several tables were open for dine-in, so we chose to enjoy the comfortable, air-conditioned, clean, and bright cafe.My husband requested the Cali Salmon Poke Bowl for $15.95, and I got the Signature Yuzu Ahi Poke Bowl for $13.95 Tobiko for $2.50. Both bowls were delicious and generously portioned. We agreed the quality and texture of the rice made a big difference in the overall flavor enhancement. We were comfortably satiated with portions and felt the freshness and flavors were worth the value. Also, eating poke bowls after working out is a healthier choice than what my fried food-loving husband usually suggests.We'll be back when we're in the Kahala neighborhood, again!"
