I drove past this place a few days ago and I couldn't look it up because I had totally spazzed on the name by the time I got round to it. To be honest, I'm surprised no one's taken the name Kahuna yet for their poke establishment... in Malaysia, anyway.
It's located the same row as Softsrve, Texas Chicken and The Good Batch in DU. And yes, parking is scarce even on weekends, it kinda goes without saying. But I'm glad I don't have to go to a mall or further for a poke fix.
Needed some greens (didn't get any of that at home) so I had what one would call a "late" lunch (I tend to lean towards having salads and what not on weekends). I was the only paying customer when I was there, so to say it was awkward would be a grave understatement.

Like most poke places, there's an order sheet you could fill up. Offerings seem to be on par - there's the usual raw salmon (RM19.90), tuna (RM20.90), with the only cooked seafood option being boiled octopus, which I don't often see. The vegetarian options are tofu (RM13.90) and tempeh (RM14.90), if that's your jam. Admittedly, prices are a bit on the high side.
The sides part of the menu was where it got interesting - you either pick 3 "mele" and 1 "tiki" or 4 "mele". The "mele" is the usual veg and legume options like cucumbers, tomato, etc. But the "tiki" items are the things that would be charged extra elsewhere like onsen egg (half boiled egg lah), avocado, kale chips, crispy salmon skin, etc. You get the drift. Everything was fresh and the salmon wasn't too salty with shoyu.
Didn't really need any more rice, so I went with greens on the bottom and had the onsen egg, which as I was digging in realised was a bit wasted cos there's no rice for it to coat. Maybe next time. The lemonade (RM5) was not too bad.
They also gave me a loyalty card - the buy 10, free 1 variety. I don't mind going back, it's just that...
