Mana Pua S.a.l.t. At Our Kaka'ako

Such a great place to go for a fun gathering spot! We often come for brunch and the staff is ALWAYS so sweet and caring. They take extra steps to ensure everyone is taken care of always and the food is always fantastic! Highly recommend the plt, or the breakfast sandwich! Both are delicious, not that everything on their menu isn't but these ones I order almost every time! Can't recommend it enough! And they host parties so if you're looking for somewhere to host a get together look no further!!

Adorable little resto and bar! My pina colada was nice. The presentation just awesome. Very easy to park. Cozy vibes and so welcoming in this place. Staff member are friendly, efficient and gentle. I absolutely recommend

We had an amazing experience at M + P. All the dishes were delicious, but the flatbread of the day (pomodoro + pineapple + pepperoni + hot honey) was decadent. Hopefully they add this to the menu permanently. The dessert was also spectacular. Clam chowder was 10/10. Will 100% come back.

The world food tour duo stopped in at Mana + Pua on the second floor of SALT. It’s a very open space, like a covered lanai. We arrived a little early and, being the first diners of the evening, had our choice of tables. We chose a table for two along the rail, nearest the bar. We were overlooking Vein and The Boiling Crab. We felt like cocktails instead of a bottle of wine. We wanted gin & tonics, but I didn’t see our preferred gins. They had two Mexican gins from Condesa, so I asked for one made with the Condesa London Extra Dry ($20) and another with Bombay ($20). The Mexican gin was nice …. A new gin to add to my home bar. We started with the Duck Fat Frites ($14) and the Antipasti Kau Kau Board ($50). The fries were sprinkled with dill, which is kind of weird (to me, who doesn’t like dill). The antipasti board was a work of art and was enough for four people. A large board was covered with five pieces of sourdough toast, a sweetish red pepper dip, slices of zucchini, wedges of gold and red beets, cherry tomatoes, green and black olives, prosciutto, salami, pieces of red onion and carrots, and wedges of kabocha with black skin. We boxed the leftovers and ordered our entrees. We ordered the Pappardelle Bolognese ($30), Mushroom Ricotta Ravioli ($30), and Fire-Kissed Brussels ($10). The ravioli and blistered cherry tomatoes sat in a portobello cream sauce … It was fine but I wished for a bit more mushroom flavor. The pappardelle were excellent, if a bit spicy. There was a chili crunch which added zing to the dish. The brussels sprouts was fine; we thought balsamic would have added to the overall flavoring. The restaurant wasn’t very busy and service was leisurely. We saw empty tables at many venues. My fellow foodie was at SALT the night before and she said every place was packed. I think Mana + Pua is fine but the format is more suited for those looking for drinks and small plates versus those of us looking for more entrée options. Rating: 4.

Staff takes care of you like family. The cook designed a perfect menu pulling off every dish. Highly recommend, arguably some of the best food on island. Really should try it out!

Overall a great experience, even better going there when it's not busy on the weekdays for lunch. All the food we got was great, but the scallops needed salt and their foccacia was a tad dense in the caprese. The ambiance is great, completely outdoors so I was able to take my pup along in his carrier with no issue and he had a fun time being able to people watch since the restaurant is located on the upper level.

Beautiful food that in fact actually tastes good. We got various fish dishes, of which sashimi, Caesar salad with seared ahi, and the scallops, and all three preparations on the seafood were fresh and spot-on. The French fries are crisp and hot, though a bit on the bland side, and the sauce, which was described on the menu as the house ketchup, was strange, more like a sweet romesco sauce. The fish spread is creamy and spreadable, bread is good quality and toasted, the cocktails are excellent. Regardless, the fish was perfect for our Cave de Lugny Crémant de Bourgogne sparkling wine from France. Very pleasant environments that encourages people to appreciate spending time with one another, be it at a table, or at the spacious bar. Service was competent, friendly, and lacking a bit of professionalism, at least for a waitress, but it’s hard to but this is only one visit, and it’s worth returning to this casual-elegant restaurant
