    Poke bowl
    Marissa V.

    I recently tried the poke at loco ono. I enjoyed how fresh the ingredients are. The rice was really delicious. I usually get salmon and shrimp only in my bowl. I mixed it with spicy mayo and miso sauce . I liked it. The only thing is I wished it had corn as a topping Its one of my favorites to put in it. But other than that they had varies of toppings to put on it and shakers. I also was hopping to find the ice cream the south Virginia location has to top it off. But unfortunately they didn't have the freezer on. The parking is small in front but they are in a shopping area where u can find parking close by if they for any reasonyou don't find something out in front. The customer service was great she was very helpful. Overall will get it again . Even their hot foods are good like the garlic chicken, garlic shrimp, and even the musubi. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Place is small so larger parties might not fit.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]This place used to have a few tables outside (year-round) and today, they are gone.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I hope the tables will be back. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We always enjoyed sitting outside with our fur baby enjoying their food.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Hoping the business owner responds to this post. We will continue to eat here but less if we are unable to bring our pup.

    Chicken katsu.  So ono.

    Great local style restaurant. Its nice to see Hawaiian island style food in Reno/Sparks. Hits they spot when you craving some poke or island style grinds. Love the chicken katsu here. Good portion. Nice to be able to get garlic rice for a small upcharge. But not great that you have to pay extra for mac salad. Normally, it comes standard. But it's all good. Service was friendly. Food came out fast, sad to hear can't call in take out orders anymore. But placed order online which was convenient.

    Loco One is a great quick little lunch meal. Chicken is always super crispy on the outside and super tender and juice on the inside. My go to is the Mochiko Chicken, it's the bees knees.... Mac salad that it comes with has always been tasty. Have had the kalbi a few times and it's always good as well. Service was great today, painless ordering, super fast fulfillment. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Place is also nice and clean.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] For sure 5 stars for Hawaiian style in Reno, hands down my favorite spot when I'm in the mood.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Cute restaurant, our food was made fresh and the portion sizes were generous.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] My husband got the short ribs, and they were delicious! I got the chicken katsu, it had a great crunch and the chicken was not dry. The macaroni salad was amazing! We will for sure go back and try more, the people working were friendly as well.

    Came in for lunch and I asked for the most popular item on the menu and it turned out to mochiko chicken and garlic shrimp. The chicken was fried to perfection with it being crispy golden on the outside while tender and juicy on the inside. The sauce on it was deliciously addicting. The shrimps for the garlic shrimp were a lot bigger than I expected. Very crispy but I wasn't a fan of it compared to the chicken. All food comes with macaroni salad. The service was friendly. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The place is set up like a poke bar where you order and go.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]There are a few tables for dine in.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The place isn't aesthetically pleasing or anything but the tables were clean.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Top: Loco Ono Ahi poke.   Bottom: Cali style Salmon poke.

    I tried the S. Virginia St. location before and I am trying this Sparks location this time. The quality of food is as good as another location. I ordered the mochiko chicken with brown rice, a mixed plate with Kalbi, garlic chicken and garlic rice, 1/2 lb of loco ono ahi and 1/2 lb of Cali style salmon poke. The food are all superb with great portion. Mochiko chicken is crispy outside and tender inside and garlic chicken has flavorful garlicky coating. But I was given the brown rice instead of the garlic rice for the mixed plate that I originally ordered with extra $1.5 dollars. So I am a bit disappointed of it. Of course poke here can't be compared to the one in Hawaii but at least it satisfies my craving for poke once a while. Service is prompt and friendly. I will come back again for the garlic rice next time.

    To be fair, we usually just order the Mochiko Chicken for take out, so I can't speak to the rest of the menu. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The dining area is usually clean, but space is limited (half a dozen tables).[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We usually only deal with the one person, up front. Each time the person that we have dealt with has been friendly and efficient in taking and expediting our order to completion. The pasta salad that comes with the order is pretty tasty, but I am not an expert in pasta salad, so take it how you will. There are two scoops of white rice included. I would like a brown rice option, but one is not on their menu. The chicken itself is breaded and tends to be juicy. The toppings, sauce, and etc on the chicken give it a very nice flavor combination. The portions are pretty big. I could probably finish it one sitting if I didn't want to eat the rest of the day, so I tend to split it into two meals. The chicken re-heats well

    That's one of their medium Poké bowls.

    My wife and I discovered the location in midtown first, because it was adjacent to another place we like. Once we found the Sparks location was on the way home from work, we try to make it a weekly stop. Very impressed with the seafood, always fresh (Sierra Gold?). Their other ingredients also and great sauces. I've never felt the need to order the "large", since the medium is always a good meal. It reminds me of some places on Kauai. The staff are very friendly and will give you a sample if you haven't tried something yet (mango I wasn't sure of, but went nicely). They also have a great selection of drinks. Oh, besides the bowls, they do have other items. The musubi is always a good bite for breakfast the next day. Very much recommend.

    Garlic Chicken and Garlic Rice

    I had never tried any Hawaiian food before, last week I tried the Garlic Chicken with Garlic Rice and this week I tried the Mochiko Chicken and Garlic Rice and WOW let me tell you! Amazing!! The service is FANTASTIC and the food is even better! [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant is so clean and welcoming![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    mixed plate kalbi & mochiko crispy chicken
    Jeff P.

    small business lots of varieties to choose from plates to poki bowls ordered the mixed plate, kalbi and mochiko cripsy chicken which was about $18 after taxes the kalbi was good for being loco ono grilled and plain, the meat itself is tasty mochiko chicken is like a cripsy chicken with mayo ketchup like sauce which was okay wouldn't get that again would like to try the garlic chicken, chicken katsu, and poki on my next visit

    Regular Sized Poke Bowl
    Andy N.

    My partner and I dropped by Loco Ono for our final meal together since it was an easy grab-and-go poke and their pricing was fair. For $13, I was able to get a delicious tofu plant-based poke bowl with so many fixings. They offer all the usual toppings from edamame to seaweed salad, and all different kinds of sauces to amp up your bowl. I appreciated being able to select brown rice and mixed greens as my base for no additional charge. The regular size bowl was a large portion and was perfect for 1.5 meals, but of course I ended up eating it all at once. Our server was also super friendly and helpful. The moment I told her that everything would need to be vegan, she made sure to read out which sauces were vegan friendly without me asking, and even loaded up my bowl with so many veg toppings that it was bursting. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambiance is fairly basic so I would consider this more for grab-and-go especially at night[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]], but the price and quality of the poke is great and I would recommend to anyone.

    Katie R.

    This place blew me away. I visited for the first time and tried the garlic chicken, spam musubi, and created a poke bowl. All of it was fantastic but the garlic chicken was the star. It was incredibly juicy and flavorful and wasn't overly fried. The poke bowl was one of the best I've ever had, with fresh tasting ingredients. Highly recommend this place. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It may be built more for to-go orders, but they also have a few tables set up inside.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The service was great too, friendly and helpful for a first timer.

    Awesome sign and drink selection

The chopped pork and brisket were okay, but we thought a lot of the flavor was carried from the BBQ sauce instead of the meat. The decor inside has that BBQ joint feel with some nice pig paraphernalia and Nevafa stuff. Shayla our server was very nice and courteous and made us feel right at home. My only critique involves another server who seemed very chatty with a couple who sat next to our table. She was talking with them a lot. She also made a comment after she noticed me taking photos of the inside saying "you can easily spot out the first timers." I think that's something a server should keep to themselves instead of mentioning it out loud. But that's me. I would've given this review 3.5 stars if I could just for that.

Yes, the brisket was actually INEDIBLE! It was dry, tough, rubbery, tasteless. The only way I could even power a couple of bites down was soaking it in the BBQ sauce.

Grits should be gritty, not smooth like paste ( I promise I don't eat paste). The Costco applesauce was the best thing I had. We literally had to go out to lunch again. Our service was blah but at we were only charged for one meal. Not sure who finds this place acceptable, but I shall never return. Dammit! JimG

I don't know what seasonings they put on the chicken but it was absolutely delicious. Now a risk with any fried chicken is over-cooking the chicken at the cost of getting the skin crispy. This was the case with our dish. While the outside was absolutely amazing, the chicken itself was a bit over cooked. What a shame. We ordered the Chicken Platter with a side of Red Beans and Rice. This was straight from the Bayou. Simple, delicious and perfect. Just wish I had a bigger serving. We also sampled the corn bread.

Unlike another place I've been to, this place was smoke forward and that's the vibe I like. Not bitter, but a good smoke. The pulled pork was out of this world and the ribs were just about perfect. Not fall off the bone but a great clean bite through. I know, I know everyone wants fall off the bone but hear me out, THAT'S JUST OVERCOOKED! Now let's talk about this sausage.

One thing we noticed right away was that the bonchon was already set on the tables before guests arrived. It wasn't a large spread--just a small tin of cheese corn and a divided tray with kimchi, bean sprouts, and fish cake--not sure how long they were left out and did look and taste dry. The servers seemed to work well together. Different team members checked on us, cleared dishes, served food, and helped other's tables. Once it got busier, they also used robot servers to help deliver food. We started with the salad with house dressing and the popcorn chicken. Both were good, and the chicken was nice and moist. For the BBQ, we ordered the Chardol, Ju Mul Luck, Hawaiian Steak, Tri-Tip Bulgogi, and Galbi (short ribs). Having eaten at quite a few Korean BBQ restaurants in Las Vegas, we noticed the portions here were a bit smaller. They also limit each round to three appetizers and four meat selections. Overall, the service was good, and we especially appreciated Eurie for being friendly and attentive. The only thing that concerned us was when another server changed our grill. Instead of lightly drizzling oil onto the grill, she forcefully squeezed the bottle, causing the oil to shoot out onto grill. It seemed like an unnecessary safety risk for both guests and employees. Our favorites were definitely the Tri-Tip Bulgogi and the Galbi. Both were flavorful and tender. The Chardol was good, but the slices were very thin and the portion felt a little small. The restaurant filled up quickly between 5:00 and 6:00 p.m., so it's clearly a popular spot. Overall, we enjoyed our meal and would come back for the Tri-Tip Bulgogi, Galbi, and the teamwork displayed by the staff.

The kimchi stew recipe also seems to have changed and wasn't as memorable as before. That said, they still serve my favorite gopchang (beef small intestine). When cooked properly, it gets wonderfully crispy and reminds me of Mexican tripas tacos--definitely worth ordering. I'd personally skip the bibimbap appetizer. The rice was hard, the ground beef was cold, and it felt like it relied too heavily on the gochujang sauce for flavor. Even with those changes, I'll continue supporting this business. Service was also attentive.
