    Regular customized plate $15.99, entree choice, salad/starch, and three toppings
    Melissa W.

    Customizable, fresh, healthy, and tasty. Wonderful addition to Ala Moana's food court. The price is fair, about $16-19, depending on your number of entree choices. They have grab and go containers for convenience but the best option is the 1-2 choice of protein plates which comes with choice of salad/starch and sides. I like to split the tumeric rice and mixed greens as the base. Then for my sides I love fresh options like their humus, beets, cucumber salad, or roasted Okinawan sweet potato. You also choose a dressing. The lemon vinaigrette is my go to and one or two protein choices. I've only tried the grilled salmon but the falafel and Mediterranean beef looks delicious too. They also top it with a fried pita chip which is crunchy and way better than the ones you find in a bag. Overall, its prices are comparable to all the food court vendors but the quality of food is superior. My new go to at the mall!

    Regular Bowl. half romaine/half pasta, cucumbers, feta, chickpea salad, souvlaki chicken thighs, green goddess dressing.

    I love that there is a healthy food option at the Ala Moana Food Court! You basically build your own salad bowl, from the base to the protein choices. Every protein choice I've gotten here is really good - I especially love the steak and the chicken. The portions are really generous, and the dressing options are numerous. The service is quick (since they make the bowl to order and right in front of you). The price is a bit high, but it's Ala Moana food court so it's to be expected. I am a huge fan of this place and recommend it if you're in the mood for something healthier while you're shopping at the mall!

    Regular size: half Basmati Rice & half Romaine Lettuce, cucumbers, hummus, garbanzo salad, falafels and tzatziki sauce
    Khierstin G.

    Curiosity led my husband and I here while waiting for our boys' order of Mr. Cow and we're automatically drawn to their falafels and assortment of salads and veggies. I'm not a big fan of basmati rice in general, not just here, but I feel that it lacks flavor. BUT little did I know, the sauces and dressings that they provide help curb that issue. I should have followed what my husband did instead of just asking for one sauce! I loved it here! Needless to say it was a lighter and healthier choice than a heavy rice plate and then having to walk around the mall with regret.

    Fresh and delicious , my favorites are the hummus, pickled onions, hummus, harissa dressing. I can't wait to try the falafel

    Delicious steak salad with beets, cucumbers, eggs
    Kanani C.

    Still love this place. Great service, tasty entrees. This time got a large bowl, so 2 entrees-- great portion size for $20. However, got a huge clump of dirt in my salad. So it unfortunately messed up the entire bowl.

    Love the delicious gluten free options Filling and under $25 I've gotten the falafel, salmon and chicken options. I always get a cumin basmati and greens base mix, roasted purple potatoes, humus, chickpeas, and lemon dressing. So delicious!! I get the biggest size to be full and have breakfast the next day with whatever is extra!! Yum!! I've taken it to go and each at ala moana beach park under the trees or at the beach.

    Salad bar

    Absolutely love this place. There are pre-prepared options, and design your own salads. If feeling lazy then I usually buy premade salads either ceaser salad or possibly a middle eastern dish with falafel. On days I do make it your way..I choose regular size with the base, 2 sides, meat and sauces on the side. They have lettuce, rice, beans, cucumbers, tomatoes. Various cheeses, variety of dressings and the proteins...shall I go on? My favorite part of this experience are the meat varieties...salmon, grilled chicken, Mediterranean flavored beef, and the list goes on. Topping the dish with your favorite sauce or not is a nice finishing touch. Service is great! Super nice staff! Helpful! Clean kiosk and very bright which is inviting. Nice ambiance because it's in the crowded food court. One of the better food options!

    Haven't been to the food court over a year and a half cause all the food there is mediocre, but was hungry and decided to see if there was any new places and found this place amazing just look at the picture also smells so good and healthy at the same time. I will definitely be a regular so glad there's a place like this in the food court now.

    Vegetarian option
    Chloe L.

    As a vegetarian, I was surprised by how many choices there were and how good everything tasted. The falafel was definitely my favorite, and I like mixing the pasta with the greens to make it more filling. The portions are big enough that I usually have leftovers for another meal, which I love. The people working there are always really kind and make the place feel welcoming.

    Chicken and Steak
    Alex D.

    Still my go-to spot for lunch or dinner whenever im in Ala Moana. Alex behind the counter is super cool, he's been working there a while now. They offer likely the cleanest eating in the entire food court. Freedom of choice is key when you want to eat and they allow you to choose what goes in your salad.

    Caesar Wrap
    Sunny V.

    Located on the Makai food court. They have Build your own plates and options of cold or hot to go plates. I chose a Caesar Wrap. I chose this as a quick snack to share. The price of the wrap is kind of average but the chicken seemed like a bigger portion than most places, so that's why I chose it and it was pretty good. I really liked their house made Caesar dressing!

    Mixed green salad with Grilled salmon, tomatoes, cucumbers, purple sweet potato, pita chips with evoo and herb dressing

    Here on vacation and decided to visit the Ala Moana mall. This mall and food court are both fun and lively. Tried Roots and Greens. Got a salad with mixed greens and salmon. The whole salad was amazing. Got it with beets, tomatoes, cucumbers, purple sweet potato and the evoo and herb dressing. The grilled salmon was probably the best salmon I've ever had at a mall and could easily have been served at a high end restaurant. The man at the counter was nice and friendly. The food court is packed with many delicious less healthy offerings so not surprising that there wasn't a line at this place, but if you want a healthy and delicious meal at this mall and you enjoy grilled salmon, definitely try out this place.

    First time at Roots and Greens and I loved it. The menu has so many great options, but I went with the chicken plate with yellow rice and a good serving of sweet potato. It was flavorful, filling, and didn't feel heavy at all. The portions were generous enough that I had plenty left for another meal. This place is perfect if you want a clean, healthy meal that still tastes amazing. I can see myself coming back often.

    Half rice, half salad; steak for protein; and hummus, feta, and boiled egg for the sides (green sauce is the green goddess)

I will be drooling over this coffee until I return. It has coffee, sea salt caramel, a scoop of ice cream, and black sea salt. Already it sounds delicious and it was. I finished my drink within 5 minutes. I didn't order any food this time, but everything coming out of the kitchen looked delicious. The menu is extensive with plenty of options, making it a great place for brunch whether you're craving something sweet or savory. The café also has a small section selling Island Vintage merchandise, which is fun to browse while you're waiting. If you choose to sit outside, don't be surprised if a few birds decide to join you for breakfast and they're regulars too.. Overall, despite the longer wait for drinks, the quality of the coffee, inviting atmosphere, and tempting menu make this a spot I'd happily visit again.

    Heavenly little restaurant with delicious healthy food and a friendly local vibe…read more Stopped in unintentionally at happy hour. The restaurant was busy but not crowded. Indoor and outdoor seating was available. We chose to sit inside and relaxed among the beach decor and pop music. The menu was limited due to happy hour but several wonderful options were available. We opted for a Strawberry Matcha Latte, the Organic Carrot salad, the Garlic Shrimp and a Mixed Berry Acai Bowl. Our food arrived in a timely manner, was well portioned, artistically plated and absolutely flavorfully scrumptious. The favorite was the carrot salad. It was lite, tangy, fresh and well textured. It was also surprisingly filling. Service was outstanding. Our server, Bruce T. , was highly attentive, personable and helpful. Pricing was reasonable. We would definitely return.

We ordered a salad, an American Wagyu burger, a poke, a shrimp dish, and a prix fix meal for $40 that came with an appetizer: a guacamole, an entree: a steak and shrimp meal, and a dessert we chose a tiramisu. Our meal was delicious, but it wasn't over the top. The steak was tender, the shrimp was crispy, the burger was ok, the poke was refreshing, and the tiramisu was delicious. This place is solid. Service was quick and the waitress was attentive. Overall, I thought the prix fix meal was a good deal since we were able to share the dessert with our kids. Even though I liked eating here, I thought Hula Grill was better.

The line is usually out the door, but don't let that intimidate you- it moves surprisingly quickly! // Build Your Own Poke Bowl We ordered one medium and one large Build Your Own Poke Bowl. You can choose the "all mix" option, which includes tuna, salmon, blue marlin, and shrimp. I never thought there could be such a noticeable difference between poke bowls until I came here. The fish was exceptionally fresh, and because it's not pre-marinated, the texture really shines. You get to choose your own sauces, and they were perfectly balanced with just the right amount of salt and umami- some poke places can be overwhelmingly salty, but not here. Every bite left me wanting more :) My only minor critique is that I would've preferred a slightly higher poke-to-rice ratio. That said, the quality of the fish more than makes up for it, and I'd happily come back again. A medium and large bowl came out to about $32 with our selected toppings. There are a few outdoor tables around the corner, but I'd recommend planning for takeout. Parking is also very tricky in this general area. Overall, super yummy and refreshing lunch option!
