I ordered the Teriyaki Tiki Bowl and added additional pineapple. The broccoli was a bit overdone but it had delicious flavors that just made my mouth dance. I highly recommend it.

First experience and it was great. My only complaint is that the cookies should be bigger for price. They are pretty small for $2. The establishment is 100% gluten free and sells gluten free desserts which is rare. There are plenty of options to choose from to complete your bowl - noodles, rice,, veggies, and protein. I especially enjoyed the variety of sauces too and the gluten free noodles were a welcomed delight. The noodles are cold. Personally I prefer if they were warm.

Ate here a couple of times during a trip to Charlotte. Food is quick and easy, so good for on the go or if you don't want to wait to eat. While I don't feel the food is the highest of quality (broccoli was a bit old), the food was overall tasty with a plethora of options (ways to make it paleo and keto too!) and I'd definitely eat here again without hesitation. I am so grateful that this gluten free option exists, because there weren't many safe places to eat in Charlotte!

Ordered delivery and they had to sub pasta in my order. They didn’t contact me first to ask. When I received it, I called to make sure the pasta was gluten free. I was told it was, but had a reaction, so don’t feel like I can trust that substitutions are done correctly.

I love this place! Everything is super fresh, the tuna is raw (which I love), and the sauces are good. I’ve taken others, and it’s hard to eat plain for them, Mahana Fresh has their own spices and flavors, which I like, but might be tough for plain eaters. The atmosphere is very clean & relaxing.

The food was actually pretty good, but it did make me sick.

I checked their website several months ago and despite it saying that all of their food is gluten free on their menu, it said at the bottom of on one of the pages that they couldn’t guarantee that any of their food was free from contamination by gluten before it arrives to their store. However, I checked online again two days ago and I couldn’t find the statement again anywhere on their website so I thought that maybe they had changed something and their food was actually gluten free. Well, I definitely got sick today before I even left the establishment. That’s just me though. I do have celiac disease and am pretty sensitive so someone else may be able to eat there without any trouble.

Amazing experience really Really really tasty food. I drive over 20 minutes to come here because everything in the restaurant is gluten-free and my wife who celiac can eat here without any apprehension whatsoever that she will get cross contaminated. Very nice ownership, very clean facilities and kitchen would highly recommend.

We think we got the owner. He was super nice. Gave us some swag bags since we brought our family in knowing it's good, we are from out of town but have a mahana fresh where we are at. It was a great experience and yummy food.

Discovered this little gem today. Everything is gluten free, even the desserts. It’s great to have good healthy food and even better when you don’t have to worry about getting glutened.

Concept is based on the Chipotle model, you pick your base - several different types of rice, noodles, spinach - then select your protein - then your veggies - and finally a sauce to top it off. I had the basmati rice, teriyaki chicken, brussel sprouts and broccoli, without any sauce. My wife had cauliflower rice, pork, and brussel sprouts.

Definitely worth a visit. The food is delicious.

I thought the food tasted good but I ended up getting sick about 1.5 hr later. Not sure if it was a gluten exposure given they are dedicated gf. But it definitely feels like a celiac reaction. I will not be eating there again. I ordered the cauliflower noodles, Brussel sprouts, broccoli, tofu, and citric ginger sauce.
