People of Brick, New Jersey, it’s your time to rejoice, Mahana Fresh is coming to Route 88 this summer.
The great thing about Mahana Fresh is that they have something for everyone, and that’s good news to a legion of gluten free and vegan folks looking for options to suit their needs.
Mahana Fresh will be opening in the same lot as the new Burger 25 on Route 88 in Brick.
According to the Asbury Park Press, Mahana Fresh has signed a lease to become part of a new retail center, which will be anchored by Icarus Brewing, on Route 88 in Brick.
It will move into a 1,450-square-foot space next to Burger 25, another restaurant that is on the way, said Jarrad Coletta, owner and broker associate at Coletta Commercial Realty in Point Pleasant Breach, who represented the landlord in the lease transactions.

Mahana Fresh’s slogan is, “Eat Well, Live Better. In Polynesian language, Mahana means “like the sun.” That perfectly describes the restaurant’s atmosphere. It’s bright, and it’s welcoming to all who enter.
This build your own bowl restaurant is filled with flavorful healthy options. You build your bowl by choosing 2 bases, 2 proteins, 2 veggies, and a sauce. You can also choose from a variety of add-ons.
I have been to the Mahana Fresh restaurant on Route 37 in Toms River, and the last time I was there I recall building my bowl with: cauliflower rice, sesame noodles, ginger broccoli, sriracha Brussels sprouts, shrimp, chicken, and a citrus ginger sauce. It was so delicious, I forgot it was healthy.
I didn’t order from the Add-Ons menu which includes roasted almonds, avocado smash, feta cheese, Mediterranean tomatoes, and a few other choices.
Brick is lucky to have this addition to their town. You’ve got Icarus Brewery, Burger 25, and Mahana Fresh all coming to the same space, the lot that used to house the former Shore Restaurant Supply on Route 88.
