Southwest Metro, Savage, MN ยท $
Pau Hana is a Fusion restaurant in the Southwest Metro neighborhood of Savage.
โI had the ahi tuna moco loco with coconut shrimp which featured a delightful mild curry sauce & my husband had the chimichurri steak. Hawaiian themed cocktails were also very tasty. Very unique for the south suburbs - weโll be back!โ
โI have been wanting to try this place and I was not disappointed, it was one of the best meals I have ever had. Service was fantastic and the restaurant is beautiful and clean. I had the chimmichurri steak, amazing. Pina colada cheesecake is a must try. There alcoholic drinks were delicious. Thank you we will be back.โ
โBrought my bestie here for her birthday. The food, service and ambiance were top-notch! Never knew that coconut shrimp would go so well with eggroll sauce. The hula dessert is a MUST! The poke bowl and loco moco were very flavorful dishes. Would definitely come here, again, for a special occasion. But in this current economy, I wouldn't dine here casually as the prices are high.โ
โLOVE THIS place for a nice neighborhood Hawaiian fusion vibe. The decor is spot on for the island culture. We enjoyed the music playing. Also, the food was so flavorful! Both my husband and I got the Loco Moco - Me with Ahi Tuna and He with Shoyu Short Rib. Such a wonderful fusion of flavors. My husband wants to go back just for the Ahi Nachos - a special when we went. This is our second time visiting - it's great for brunch, girls night, date night or a quick bite. We still haven't tried the pizzas yet, but they look amazing as well. My only complaint was that I didn't like the drink options on the Menu - seemed like a seasonal menu- so I asked the waitress if I could just have a simple margarita or another flavor instead of the Guava Margarita menu option and she said no. So evidently the server is not informed on the bar options or didn't care to ask the bartender or the drinks are premade or bar is only stocked to make the few drinks on the menu. It looks like a full bar. That was annoying - I almost got up and went to the bar myself to ask the bartender if I could get what I wanted. When I go to a nice restaurant and have to pay $10-20 for a nice cocktail I expect a fabulous server to know or how to ask the knowledgeable bartender to consider modifications.โ
โI have mixed feelings about this place. I thought the location was nice and clean. The service was meh. The waitress should work on her presentation. The food was 50/50. I had the Poke stack, and it was delicious ๐. The Furikake Cornbread was outstanding, probably one of my favorites. Then the Loco Coco with "wagyu" steak, and it was all good, but the wagyu steak was burnt, and it tasted like gas-burnt steak. The rest of the dish was delicious, but the steak was a disgrace. The pizza we got was the BBQ pig, and it was ok. It was well-made, but I just didn't like the taste of the pork. The worst plate was the dessert "Haupia Pie". Terrible! I am not sure if they just gave us an old ice cream ball, but it was so hard we couldn't break it with the spoon. Cutting ice cream with a knife is not fun. The decoration tasted great, but the ice cream and Oreo part were either old or poorly made. I would definitely come back and try other stuff. Very good flavor profiles, but if they are going to take a long time to serve food, it should be good. They need to work on those other little issues.โ
