Poke Hana

The Write-Up

The full story

Poke Hana is a bright, laid-back Hawaiian counter on East Colonial Drive in Mills 50, where the poke bowls taste as fresh as the room feels. Guests say the tuna is the freshest outside of a top tier sushi spot, and the menu runs from the Maui Wowie bowl and crispy rice tacos to garlic fried chicken, a Kalua pork plate and plates of Hula chicken. Regulars add extra protein for a heartier bowl and save room for the butter mochi, calling it a favorite stop on a hectic day.
