Kahakai Poke Bowl

13/08/2026

Pretty in pink 💕🌸

Our current seasonal favourite: pink pickled radish! Fresh, tangy, a little punchy and the perfect extra zing to brighten up your poke bowl. 🌱✨

Seasonal goodness, one colourful topping at a time. 🥢

Chef Dai Inamoto is owning that compliment, as he should! Between his serious cheffing skills and his infectious charisma, we hit the jackpot bringing him onto the team✨️🫡

Mānawatia a Matariki✨️

Wishing everyone a happy Matariki filled with reflection, connection, and hope for the year ahead.

We're OPEN TODAY, without any surcharge, so if you're out enjoying the beauty of Taranaki, we'd love to welcome you in for a warming poke bowl 💙

A shout out to the talented local photographer Brendan Larsen for capturing this stunning image of Te Maunga o Taranaki beneath the Matariki stars. We're grateful to be able to share such a special view with our community.

Mānawatia a Matariki! 🌌

✨ No AI. No fake sky. Just Matariki rising over Mt Taranaki.

With it being Matariki week, I decided to revisit one of my favourite images from four years ago and give it a completely fresh edit. I think the new version feels much more natural while keeping all of the detail that was captured on the night.

This is the real Matariki (Pleiades) star cluster rising above Mt Taranaki. The apparent size often surprises people, but that's the result of photographing the mountain from a long distance away with a 400mm telephoto lens, not digital manipulation.

When I first shared this image in 2022, a few people insisted it had to be "Photoshopped" because they'd never seen Matariki look like this. In reality, long-exposure astrophotography simply reveals colours and faint detail that our eyes can't see.

Sometimes nature is more spectacular than we expect.

✨ New Menu Drop ✨

We’ve been working behind the scenes to bring you a fresh new menu with more of what you love 🥢🌮🥗

We’re excited to introduce:
✨ New poke bowl creations
✨ More taco options
✨ A brand new snack section
✨ Different sizes to suit every appetite
✨ The choice between a simple bowl with your favourite base, or our signature style loaded with all our colourful, fresh toppings 🌈

We’ve also made some changes to our pricing. Like many other small businesses, the past year has brought a lot of challenges with rising food costs, supplies, freights increases, and everyday expenses. We’ve worked hard to absorb as much as we could and keep our prices as fair and affordable as possible while still using quality ingredients and creating the food you love.

Thank you so much for continuing to support our little business...every order (especially with the week we just had😅🌬🌧), every share, and every kind word truly means the world to us ❤️

We can’t wait for you to try the new menu! ✨
