Ohana Island Kitchen

"Though Denver’s first poke purveyor is still one of its best, there’s more to this sunny counter joint than its seafood signature: Kalua pork, Spam musubi, curry rice, mac salad, and more round out the menu for a whirlwind trip to the islands." - Josie Sexton, Eater Staff, Ruth Tobias

"This small LoHi Hawaiian spot works great for a healthy solo lunch or a place to meet your younger cousin who wants to get your perspective on their LinkedIn networking strategy. To mitigate the absolute bizarreness of that conversation, get one of their consistently excellent poke bowls and a spam musabi, a.k.a. one of the best handheld foods ever invented. You can wave the tightly packed griddled spam, nori, and rice around and nod as your cousin says optimization a bunch of times." - Team Infatuation

"Poke has spread like wildfire in Denver, even in restaurants that aren't fish houses. But Hawaiian-owned Ohana Island Kitchen (which started as a walk-up window) on 15th Street offers ultra fresh tuna and salmon poke." - Rebecca Treon, Eater Staff

"From a small walk-up window in LoHi, Ohana earned a following and became a go-to lunchtime destination two summers ago. The husband-wife duo behind it took their act to a brick-and-mortar operation across the street, and there they dish out shoyu and spicy tuna bowls, with salmon specials every so often. For some real island flair, the spam musubi is not to be missed." - Gigi Sukin
