Aloha Bowls

I really wanted to like this place more, however, I gave 4 stars because my boyfriend who barely touches veggies actually really enjoyed his chicken katsu lunch plate and it is so rare for him to like whatever "heathy" food I'm eating. Unfortunately, my "salmon" (really it's steelhead trout) poke bowl was overwhelmingly saucy (and I LOVE sauce) to the point that I just really couldn't taste the flavours of anything else when I mixed it all together. I think it was a combination of the ponzu, pineapple jam and too many pickled things that made it just really sour and and not tasty. Sadly, the two things that could have cut some of the overwhelming taste were the spicy mango sauce and avocado. The spicy mango sauce was good but couldn't overpower the other flavours and my avocado was super unripe and inedible. However, I will say, their presentation was absolutely beautiful, and you can tell they use very high quality, fresh ingredients. I wasn't hopeful of finding many gluten free options on my visit to Duncan, so alas, I am happy to have eaten nonetheless. I will add, when I ordered over the phone, the girl who answered definitely needs to be taught some customer service skills but I'm assuming she is just very young... She was very short with me and not overly polite. My boyfriend said the same when he went to pick it up. I'm going to give these guys a second chance and try their burger place tomorrow, because anything is better than Whitespot and it looks dang good.

Delicious gluten-free poke bowls. Sauce can be served on the side. Fast and friendly service. Patio is great on sunny days. Gluten-free banofee (banana-toffee) pie is so good! Cafe is located a bit back from road behind the associated Kahuna burger place.
