Ono is authentic Hawaiian cusine, family ran restaurant. The place is about a mile walk from Waikiki, quite old, some old pictures on the walls. Obviously, people go there to eat, not to stare at the walls. We've got a combo plate- more than enough for 2 people. The food was ready in less than 5 minutes- pleasant surprise.They don't... More

We arrived around 12:30. Waited about 10~15 minutes. Actually, we had no idea about traditional Hawaiian Foods. Luckily, a staff came up and explained about the foods. Also, she brought little poi so that we could taste it. (I thought it was a pan cake style food, but it was not.) We ordered three different set dishes. Luau and Kalua... More

Love to go to Ono when we can. Found that if we are there by 11:30 it isn't busy and we can get a seat immediately. Back again for our favorites - beef stew, Salt Meat Luau, Kalua Pig, Lomi Ahi and poi! Excellent as usual. A must try for people wanting to eat Hawaiian food - old style. Not... More

Live a little, get off the strip and have a food adventure! Authentic fare, reasonable prices, friendly service. It's a must do in Waikiki area

The Combination plate with Laulau and kalua pig let us sample a lot of different dishes. Each was very good. Even the poi which was freshly made. Pork cooked two ways with two different woods, fresh fish salad, coconut dessert, and homemade beef jerky. Wish I remembered all the names of the foods. It was all delicious. Combination of different... More

Great Hawaiian food in family style servings. Casual family style place great for families. We love the laulau chicken and kalua pork as well as haupia. Been there everytime we visit Oahu and this place has never disappointed. Be prepared to queue since this is a small place especially during lunch/dinner times!

We make a point of eating at Ono's when we are in Waikiki and we are never dissatisfied. Food is excellent and service is truly "ohana" I won't go into details but this place should be on a to go list for anybody wanting to eat like the locals... And the lives outside are the proof.

We were introduced to this hole in a wall by a local the first time we came to HI and come back every time we're in Oahu. This most recent visit we introduced our almost 3 yr old to it, & the verdict is still the same..authentic, delicious, and filling portions! We usually go with the Combo that includes Kalua... More
