Mahana Fresh — Restaurant in Florida

So I ordered steak, chicken, Brussels sprouts and kale. No sauces or anything extra. The first two bites I just couldn’t eat anymore. The amount of salt/sodium they pour into this food has to be extremely catastrophic health wise. I was starving and coming from me who will literally eat anything just couldn’t do it. The only reason I’m making this review is so others realize the gimmick ( healthy options ) that’s just not the case. You probably would be better off just eating a real cookie than eating this stuff here.

All the servings the guy added to my bowl he would smash them together and half the portions would fall out by the time it made it to my bowl. There was random stuff in my bowl that I did not order just due to the carelessness of making my bowl in general. Thus I wouldn’t usually care about when you add in the salt content and the taste literally tasting like poison I thought I had to share.

I see someone compare this place to ‘ fresh kitchen ‘ that is such an insult to fresh kitchen. This is by far the most salted / sodium packed food I’ve ever had. Including fast food McDonald’s , chipotle and shoot maybe even taco bell. No I don’t eat out at places like that but I just couldn’t imagine calling it a healthy option kind of place when you can’t...

My anticipation for this nearby healthy dining spot turned sour after my fifth visit, as the food quality plummeted. While the flavors are commendable when fresh, most items languish in open pans, drying out over time. On my recent visit, dated April 27, 2024, at 5 pm, my vegetarian option, tofu, was inedible - blackened and unappetizing. When I requested a fresh serving, I was met with resistance, as they hadn't replaced it since opening, fearing waste. Despite explaining my dietary restriction, the staff hesitated to accommodate me, offering only an extra vegetable as an alternative. Only after insistence did they agree to prepare fresh tofu, albeit with a wait time of 7 minutes. Disheartened by the lack of freshness and customer service, I left disappointed. While the name suggests freshness, Mahana Fresh fails to deliver. Even fast-food chains like McDonald's adhere to expiration times, a standard seemingly...

We were looking forward to trying Mahana Fresh for the first time, especially since it’s conveniently located nearby and we had high hopes it would be comparable to Fresh Kitchen. Unfortunately, the food fell far short of expectations. The ingredients appeared old, as though they had been sitting out for hours , the vegetables were mushy and unappetizing. After just one bite, the meals were inedible, and we ultimately had to throw them away. It was very disappointing to have this experience and feel that our money was wasted

Update: I reached out to the company as they suggested in their response to my review and even followed up, but unfortunately I haven’t received a reply. At this point, it’s less about the refund and more about the lack of follow-through. It’s disappointing, since I had hoped they would...
