Incredible! 10/10 HIGHLY recommend the poke !! The salmon and Ahi Tuna were both melt in your mouth! Sauces and flavor were also on point. Value is insane. The plate was HEAVY! Feels like I’m back in Hawaii !!! We got the top 3 flavors on the list Even the crab salad was really good. Light, fresh, and not smothered in sauce. I can’t wait to come back and try the other items!

Say whaaaaaaaat?!? Pine Isle is great! We had seen some excrement reviews and wanted to give them a try. We headed down to Dallas one only part way there we found out it is take out only. Not discouraged we continued on only to find some delightful picnic tables with nice umbrellas which is a great spot to enjoy the delicious food here. We had the Poke Nachos which were fresh, well seasoned, and absolutely outstanding. We also had the Kalbi plate and this is one of the best versions I have ever had. The service was friendly and quick enough considering you can watch them make everything to order. Fantastic spot and more than worth the trip! Highly Reccommended!

I took a 45 minute drive to try out this place. I came hungry and really excited to try the food. Just to give some context I was born and raised in Hawaii. So I was looking forward to tasting a little piece of home! I looked over the menu and decided to get the BBQ chicken, Kalbi ribs, and poke....$40 plus for everything and a drink. I didn't really care of the price especially cause I was hungry and looking forward to eating hawaiian food. Food was brought out about 15/20 mins later and I dove right in. Took out everything and surprised to see what was in the box. BBQ chicken came woth like a swerlet/sour BBQ sauce a salad with 3 bits of salmon(maybe their version of lomi salmon), the kali ribs came already cut into individual pieces. Presentation looked well but nif what i was used to. Took a bite and everything tasted fine but it was definitely made for the taste of the mainland. I wouldn't call it traditional local plate. Everything was fine but was not what I was expecting, felt not very traditional. Food ok, service great ( local braddah looking dude at the counter was patient and friendly), atmosphere good, a lot of prople coming and going picking up food (it was a Sunday).

This place is exactly what it is, great Hawaii style food. Personally i love spam musubi and their spicy version is really good! Its not that spicy, it still more sweet than spicy, just a bit of heat but thats all it needs! The macaroni salad also is a fave of mine from any hawaiian place and theirs is excellent! This is a tiny place in a small business center so parking may be hard to find, and there are only about 4 tables outside.

⭐ Update after my second visit: I wanted to come back and update my review because I was so excited to bring my husband after how much I loved it the first time. First, I still want to say the staff was just as friendly as I remembered. The owner/manager noticed us waiting and invited us to grab some water while our food was being prepared, which was a thoughtful touch. This visit, though, the food just wasn't the same. My husband ordered the chicken katsu, and I ordered the meat jun plate. We also tried the shoyu poke and the crispy garlic poke. The shoyu poke was okay, but it had a bit of an off taste compared to what I remembered. Unfortunately, neither of us cared for the chili garlic poke. The katsu was more soggy on botton then crispy, and the sauce didn't taste like the traditional katsu sauce we're used to. It was drizzled over the chicken instead of served on the side, which wasn't our favorite. The meat jun plate was just okay. The sauce was spicier than I expected, and the mac salad seemed watery this time. Looking back, I think I learned a lesson: stick with what I know! The creamy spicy ahi poke, ahi nachos, deep-fried Spam musubi, and lumpia were all outstanding
