I had nothing thawed out at home to cook yesterday, but also didn't want to go out and eat not so healthy food as I just completed a long overdue workout. Did a quick google search for healthy restaurants nearby, and Wow came up. I had seen the restaurant before as it is in the same shopping center as our favorite pizza spot. I'm so very glad that we decided to go eat at Wow for dinner last night. Firstly, the restaurant is super clean and very inviting. Having never been there before, we were directed to some order sheets where we could make our selections for our bowls. I found this to be incredibly convenient. I generally hate standing up at an ordering counter awkwardly staring at the menu board feeling like I'm taking too long. Being able to step away and take a little time deciding what I wanted was nice. You put your name and the last 4 digits of your phone number on the page, and you turn it in. Apparently, they save this so that they can pull your order for the next time you come in. I don't necessarily get the same thing when I go to a restaurant, but if the order is there when I want a repeat of it. My husband and I also tired a couple of their fresh cold pressed juices to go with our meals. I generally don't drink juice (I like it too much) but since these have no added sugar, I made an exception. My husband got the Sweet Madam, and I got the Wow Bunny. Both juices were incredibly tasty and were a very nice treat. The food is incredibly fresh and very well made and we really enjoyed our dinners; very tasty and healthy. It's also worth noting that the woman, who I assume is the owner, is super nice and was very pleasant to chat with. The service and food were awesome! We will definitely be back to...
Read moreI am from Maui, and this place has absolutely the best poke I have had outside of Hawaii (and it was on par with that). I was really missing the poke from the islands, and am so incredibly happy to have found Wow Poke. I was only in town for two days, and I ate here three times. It's that good and reminded me that much of real Hawaiian poke. The flavors and quality were exactly like my favorite poke on Maui. The ingredients are super fresh, the sauces were delicious, and there are so many options to create your perfect poke bowl. And the portions are very generous.
Not only is the food amazing, but I can't say enough about the service. The owner was there all three times that I was, making food and connecting with her customers. She is an incredibly kind and friendly person, and the rest of her staff was the same.
I really appreciated the system they have in place to offer personalized service. They create a sheet with your favorite poke bowl, and put the last four digits of your phone number on it. When you come back, they look that sheet up, and if you want the same thing you had before, they'll make it for you. No need to order again or fill out another sheet. It felt like going to a friend's house who knows your favorite food and they just make it for you.
I was really impressed with all of the options they had, including many vegetarian and even vegan bowls. Love to see that.
If you are in the area and want some ono grinds (delicious food), you NEED to eat at Wow Poke & Juice. Mahalo nui loa to the owner...
Read moreTLDR: MUST TRY spot if you are vegan/vegetarian/ or just want healthier option. First time may seem intimidating with all the varieties and options but everything is saved if you decide to come back. Been here 2 times and every time was 5/5.
If you are looking for a healthy option and want to be served by a kind and warm staff, this is the place for you. I won't lie; if this is your first time, it might seem intimidating with the process of filling out a form with your name, phone number, and selecting various sides, toppings, and proteins to customize your own unique bowl. However, there are premade bowls you can choose from if you're not sure where to start.
If you feel lost like I did initially, don't worry—the staff is incredibly helpful and accommodating, ready to explain anything you need. The bright side is that your order will be saved in their database, making your next visit even faster and easier.
The ingredients in my bowl were fresh, from the vegetables to the quinoa, and packed with flavor. The components of the bowl balanced each other perfectly, creating an overall exceptional taste and experience.
It may be on the pricier side compared to big chains like Chipotle, Cava, and Gusto, but this place puts much more care and quality into their dishes. You truly get what you pay for, and you're also supporting a local business.
I thoroughly enjoyed my meal. This was my second visit, and let’s just say it was a 5/5...
