I've only had the mochi donuts here but after I did I wouldn't go anywhere else. They are so delicious and addicting it's hard to not eat the whole box. Any flavor you get here is yummy, balanced and the perfect chewy texture. Honestly the best price I've seen in town. The dozen comes out to $25 & The packaging is so cute! Get there by noon since they close at 7p they sometimes run out of flavors.

After eating lunch at a Pho restaurant on a Saturday, I was craving something sweet afterwards. Looking for Mochi donuts in the area on Yelp, Paina Café was one of the first restaurants to pop up! It was only five minutes away from the Pho restaurant in Spring Mountain. Paina Café is a Hawaiian-inspired café. As soon as you enter the restaurant, you'll notice all of the island-themed décor! Paina Café is known for their Poke Bowls! Paina Café has two locations, one in Las Vegas at Spring Mountain, and another one at Honolulu Hawaii! If you're looking for alternatives to Poke Bowls, Paina Café does offer plate lunches, sandwiches, and salads! Some of the plate lunches do include Kalua Pork! We ended up ordering [3] Mochi donuts - Chocolate Cheesecake - Cookies and Cream - Matcha The wait time was minimal. The team member immediately packed up the mochi donuts in a bag and provided them to us. We took the Mochi Donuts home to eat! The Matcha Mochi Donut was the best. The Matcha flavoring was delicious and the donut was soft and perfectly baked. The Chocolate Cheesecake was interesting. I didn't taste too much of the chocolate flavor and the frosting reminded me more of a vanilla flavor. It was still good though! The Cookies and Cream Mochi Donut was yummy! The next time I stop by Paina Café, I'm getting their plate lunch! The restaurant has plenty of table seating to eat your meal inside as well! The service was fantastic!

This place is amazing. They have delicious Hawaiian food, mostly plate lunch stuff and poke, plus a wide selection of sweet treats. We tried a bento box and a few of their bowls. The bento consisted of three classic Hawaiian meats (Portuguese sausage, teriyaki beef, and fried chicken) over furikake rice. It's delicious but definitely meat-forward. The bowls were quite interesting. For instance, the Kalua pig doesn't have any cabbage - it's just pork. Additionally, I've never been to a place that would mix poke and meat in the same bowl, but it is delicious. It's a great way to get all your favorites in one meal. The poke is not quite on par with the best stuff I've had, but it would definitely satisfy a poke craving. Paina is tucked away in a strip mall that has needlessly complicated directions, but it is worth the hassle. Try a bowl, and then make sure to grab a mochi donut or two for the road!

What a great lunch, I had a California bowl, it was simple but had great flavor. You can tell their ingredients are very fresh and they give good portions. The bowl has rice, imitation crab, cucumber, and avocado. I got the cookies and cream mochi donut and it was fresh as well. Definitely excited to go back.

Came back to visit while we were in Vegas. Their mochi donuts are still amazing as before. Super soft and chewy, perfect level of sweetness. They have different flavor specials each day. My favorite is hands down the Oreo cheesecake. I don't typically like sweets but this was sooo delicious that I'm still thinking about it. I almost want to drive all the way back from AZ to get more. I also ordered a side of tako. They had the option of Hawaiian or kimchi and I opted for Hawaiian. While I like it, some parts were kind of salty. Also, I didn't realize how tiny the 4oz is. For $5.50, not sure if it's worth it. I'll probably stick to the poke bowl next time. Still love this place!

Friendly and fast service, along with awesome poke and Kailua pork makes this place a hands down winner. We got a shoyu ahi poke bowl and Kailua pork bowl and both were very tasty and well done. We plan to come back for more. The dining room was clean and pretty nondescript, mostly take out and no one ate inside.

This was my first time trying mochi doughnuts. I don't know what's taken me so long, considering how many people have raved about them. I tried each flavor and they were not overly sweet or heavy. The glazes were all subtle, their respective flavors were light. All the doughnuts were not super chewy and I liked them all, but the cookies and cream stood out the most. A few of them had a slight fried/oil taste to them, but it wasn't a deal breaker. I would not say no to anyone offering me mochi doughnuts from Paina. My next trip will be to pick up doughnuts and try their poke.

How cute is this? I haven't been to this cafe but have had their donuts as someone had some and shared! I need to go there myself and check this spot out! The donut was yummy! Ube flavored! Let's try this spot especially when you've got friends in town or need a cute box of donuts for someone's BD!
