Pa'ina Restaurant & Lounge

"The Hawaiian-inspired restaurant in Japantown serves ahi tuna tossed in shoyu, sesame oil, sweet onions, and scallions (they also have a vegan option with beets). The poke bowls come with plenty of toppings, including wasabi aioli and kimchi, but we like to order the fish on its own - that way, you can really taste its quality. Also, Pa’ina gives you the option to order poke by the pound, and we’ve never responded “yes” to something so enthusiastically. We haven’t been here yet, but want you to know this spot exists." - Team Infatuation
