Hawaiian cuisine is a favorite of mine and Onolicious in downtown Cincinnati, Ohio is some of the…read morebest I've had in the whole mainland of America! Me, my sister, and the rest of my sister's bachelorette party ate a fantastic and relatively inexpensive-ish dinner here on a rainy Friday night in May, 2026. We made reservations beforehand which was smart, because it was busy and it would be unkind to surprise a busy restaurant with a party of 8 hungry bachelorette ladies! I had skimmed the menu beforehand and knew what I wanted to order and helped others in the party choose a meal from a cuisine many of them were unfamiliar with. But first, can we talk about how beautiful the mural is right outside the restaurant? I've attached a photo and I'm still obsessed with looking at it! Also, I gotta mention how kind the service was and how fast our waters and drinks arrived as well as our meals. Even though its all ordered via a QR code which normally lessens interactions with staff, we still had staff checking in on us and even making us laugh and smile! So I got a pina colada ($14), one of my favorite cocktails, and many of the other ladies also got tropical drinks as well. Some of them ordered tropical cocktails they were unfamiliar with yet still enjoyed them. For my main, I got the huli huli chicken thigh dinner ($15) with the aloha slaw and rice as my sides. I love a slaw that is vinegar based and this was crisp and refreshing! The chicken thigh was tender and well seasoned. My sister also ordered two desserts for the table - poi mochi with the most incredible chocolate frosting dipping sauce ($6) and fried donuts ($4). The poi mochi was a hit in particular. We paid beforehand so left after finishing our meals, happy and full! I'd absolutely recommend this restaurant for anyone visiting downtown Cincinnati. I'd be happy to come back and try their spam musubi and some more cocktails! Yum!

My sides were Rice with a wedge salad. I enjoyed the Char Sui Chicken and really liked the flavor as well as the Teriyaki Beef however the Kalbi Ribs were really really tough and chewy and wasn't that great in my opinion so I prob would order something different next time. The Masubi was bomb which I already knew would be. They forgot to add my Hawaiian pineapple drink so I was a little butt hurt about that and they didn't add any utensils which I asked for with my Uber Eats order so they lost a star for that.

Between the yum-yum and the teriyaki, everything was pretty drenched, which kind of overpowered some of the other flavors. I also tried one of their sushi rolls (can't remember which one!), but I do remember that it was actually pretty good--nice texture, good balance, and enjoyable overall. The real stars of the visit, though, were the fruit teas. I can't even remember the exact flavors I ordered, but I do remember loving them. Refreshing, flavorful, and honestly something I'd come back just for. Overall, Fusabowl delivers tasty food with bold flavor--just maybe ask them to go lighter on the sauces. I'd definitely return, especially for the drinks!

My boyfriend got a build-your-own ramen and it was really good when I tried a spoonful. They also have a variety of beers and cocktails. I got curious about their extensive espresso martini menu and was told to try the Chai Espresso Martini. It was amazing! I'm glad I ordered it and want to try a different type of espresso martini when I'm back next. The inside is really cool.
