The world is focusing more than ever on using local fresh-picked produce, maintainable fishing practices, and earth-friendly/chemical-free food production. This “new approach” is known as sustainable food sourcing. But to Hawaii, this is nothing new. It is as ancient as our land itself, and we call it ahupuaˋa – a system that recognizes that our food sources and our bodies should be nurtured, respected, and cherished. Pounders Restaurant honors this tradition with pasture-raised meats, beautiful fish from our local ocean waters, local produce raised in the hot island sun, and an emphasis on natural ingredients served with aloha. This is our gift to Papa and Wakea, our Mother Earth and Father Sky, and to you, our Ohana. Graham Elliot Executive Chef of Pounders Restaurant Executive Chef Graham Elliot is an award-winning chef, television personality, and cookbook author.

Came here with a group of 9 people. We ordered a variety of meals. The two that I would avoid is the Huli-Huli Chicken and North Shore Garlic Shrimp. Chicken was so dry and the shrimp had a puddle...
