Aloha Mate

The Verdict

As the name so perfectly suggests, Aloha Mate brings the tropical flavours of Hawaii straight to Aussie shores and just quietly (although it’s already been a hit over the summer) the power couple here have completely nailed it.

You are guaranteed to fill up on a whole bunch of goodness at Aloha Mate. The bowls (yes, we mean both poké and acai), juices and smoothies here are a complete kaleidoscope of deliciousness. The focus is all about the flavour of the actual fish, rather than the toppings and their vegan substitutes are so convincing you won’t believe they’re not actually fish.

Born and raised in a small beach town in Hawaii (living the dream, amirite?), co-owner Chai has poke running through her veins and it’s safe to say that she’s succeeded in delivering the hometown goods to Sydney.
