Reviews
Amazing food! We had a smorgasbord of items too numerous to mention. Everything from the soups, to the salads, entrees, and desserts were wonderful
First bite at Ono Kine took me right back to Waikiki Beach. The loco moco had an authentic taste and was a great portion for a bigger guy like myself. Macaroni salad was great as a side. Also, went ahead and ordered the ahi poke, which was super fresh! Spam Musubi (not pictured) took me right back to 7/11 IYKYK. This being walking distance could get dangerous for my belly and my wallet.
What a cute quaint place! As soon as you enter, you're greeted with lots of import snacks, drinks, etc. kind of small inside, but there are a few tables in the back. I think when we went, we met the owner. He was this older man and was very inviting. I didn't know that the Ahi Poke came with nuts so he took back the plate and remade with without nuts. Everything was so yummy! The pineapple carrot slaw was crunchy and sweet, the tuna was the perfect consistency and it was fresh! I added some of the shoyu that was on the table and loved it. This was our first time trying loco moco and it was very good. A burger steak covered in a gravy on top of rice and an egg. Almost reminded me of a nicer Salisbury steak! Def recommend!
We just got back from a trip to hawaii, which got us craving some of the local food that we had on the island. We got some char chiu chicken, Kalua pork, and loco moco. Food was delicious, as were the sides. Would highly recommend checking it out. We were a bit confused when we walked in, was unsure of the ordering process, took a few minutes to figure out.
I am obsessed!! I went with my friend who has recommended this place and I can't believe I didn't go sooner. The food is delicious!! She got the ahi tuna and I got the loco moco. Everything came out so fast and the servers/staff/owner are all so lovely and friendly. I would highly highly recommend!! Portions are pretty hefty and very reasonably priced - I'd say it's good for two meals. Please note it's very small with only a few tables for seating behind their front market, so I'm sure they can get busy during peak meal hours. But they are doing their best! I am already figuring out what I want to try next!!
