I usually get a drink and they are often fine but not great. The service is always good and the employees are usually very busy during trivia nights. I don't ever get food while there, but sometimes my friends do and they usually seem to enjoy it. This is a great time to come for trivia but I don't know that I would come if not for it.

**Review for Ono Kitchen and Bar**…read more Ono Kitchen and Bar is a fantastic spot that offers Latin dance lessons on Thursday nights from 7:30 to 10:30 PM--highly recommended for anyone looking to learn some new moves! The watermelon and crispy pork belly starter was to die for: juicy and perfectly fried, truly heaven in your mouth. The kalua pork tacos were decent; the bao bun was perfectly fluffy like a cloud, but they were a bit greasy, making them slightly soggy. However, the flavor was still great. Our server answered our many questions about drinks and food. Overall, I recommend Ono Kitchen and Bar, especially for the dance lessons and for grabbing a few drinks and bites afterward.

If you want something cheap but a HUGE portion, check out Hawaiian BBQ…read more They load up your plate with a ton of food. Super flavorful and satisfying, especially if you're really hungry or want something to share. I recommend the combo plate with half chow mein, half fried rice, and broccoli chicken Fair warning, it's rich and heavy, but definitely worth trying if you want something different without spending a lot!

This is very good for its purpose. If you are going to…read moreHawaii BBQ and Noodle House expecting a gourmet Meal or authentic Hawaiian, you're missing the point. Sit there for a while at lunchtime or just around dinner time one day l, watch who's coming in and you'll get it. This is Blue Collar food. You'll see the construction workers, the lawn care guys...and later in the day, the Seniors and families. What they come for, what I come for, is primarily the utility Chinese. Heaping, large portions of reasonably tasty, carbohydrates, salt, sugar, fat, and a surprisingly large amount of proteins... all at a very reasonable price... or as reasonable as you'll probably find these days. I venture a guess that a lot of people cannot finish a two item combo with the chow mein. It is a lot of high calorie density food. And, it's served by consistently friendly folk behind the counter. No the food isn't gourmet quality, but there's not a lot of places that serve this many calories where you are always treated very well by a smiling guy behind the counter. So, if you're seriously hungry, or your kids are hungry, or you want a large amount of calories that will probably last you at least two meals then this is almost certainly going to hit the spot.

They are new, and they are likely still ironing out kinks...take this with a grain of salt. The food truck takes a little while, and we didn't get any food till around 4:30. They're new, ok, sure. I haven't had Spam Musubi since I was in Hilo in 2017. The rice was hard and tasted like it was undercooked, and it was cold. The spam was THIN and there wasn't a lot of flavor. However, the sauce they served it with was tasty. Could use more spice, but pretty good. We got the LocoMoco and the Chicken Katsu. It is NOT your typical Japanese or Filipino style katsu, it's a little overfried, but at least the rice was better. The LocoMoco is something you'd find for Hawaiian breakfast - egg, marinated beef patty, rice, gravy. It was a fairly chilly evening so I would assume that's why it was a bit cold, but otherwise it's ok. Whatever you order from them, be patient. Ask for the hot water sauce, and give them a berak since they're new. I look forward to trying them again this summer, so that I can write a proper review once they have it all figured out!

=== 1. VERDICT/VALUE Based on single takeout order around…read moredinner time: solid choice - it's like the other locations in town and decent (even if still not quite like it is back home in Hawaii :) === 2. FOOD There are a variety of options (and toppings - yikes!!) and in recent months, they have been trying to expand their menu to include hot items often seen in Hawaii. I typically only visit Ono Poke for the poke bowl itself and can report this location: - Has the same decent quality fish. - Still is obligated to give you way too many toppings (but to each their own). - Can customize your order (e.g. hapa rice, furikake on top, etc.). - Offers a portion size that is decent for the price in town. - (In fact, compared to other locations, they are less stingy here :) ) As usual, I'm all about the straight-up ahi, but some may like the yuzu-flavoured ahi (seen in the other pic). === 3. SERVICE Counter service for me - and it's great, friendly, and patient. === 4. ENVIRONMENT You could sit in and eat; the place has a darker motif, but is tucked away form the hustle and bustle of Uptown - but your group might be best to be 8 or less in number if you're wanting to sit together. Wheelchairs and baby strollers have no issue here. Parking is plentiful downstairs - park closer to the Best Buy side of the structure for closer access.
