   The food at Pounders was average. The Poke bowl lacked some of the authentic flavors you’d expect on the island of Oahu. The pork sliders were ok. The sauce seemed like any generic store bought barbecue sauce. The portion sizes were average. I have no real complaints. It was just very average. If I were ever to go back to the PCC, I would eat somewhere else for sure.

   Good food at a reasonable (for Hawaii) prices. We had pizza, and ate outside (mid-afternoon when they weren’t busy), so no noise issues, and wonderful, attentive service.

   VERY Slow….. service. When food finally came all six entries were cold or lukewarm! Also we had to wait and beg for, ketchup, refills and the check. Not at all what we had hoped for. Want be back or recommend!

   Pounders has gone entirely downhill over the past two years. Everyone’s favorite dishes have been removed from the menu. Service was slow and neglectful. Prices have gone through the roof for food that was lower quality than the food trucks just outside the restaurant. Very very disappointed in what they’ve done. Will not be returning.

   Horrible experience. Food took nearly an hour after placing our order. Waitress offered 15% off our bill as courtesy but still doesn’t make up for our poor experience. Not sure how this place can survive doing this but it’s the only sit-down option available at the Polynesian Cultural Center aside from the luau or buffet. Would suggest going with the food truck options instead…

   Food was MEH…. Moco Loco meal was nothing to write home about. I asked for over easy eggs and medium rare burger- received over hard and well done burger. Waitress never asked us how our meal was. Waitress never offered refills on our water or sodas. After we left, we reviewed bill and found that they charged us 20% gratuity (party of 6) but server never told us about it when she left the bill, so we inadvertently gave another tip on top of that. Wouldn’t eat here again.

   We had a great experience at Pounders. Mango Pizza was delicious along with the Shrimp Tacos. Service was good! We sat outside so we enjoyed the atmosphere.

    Pizza and pasta was good but shrimp was not great and overpriced for the amount.
