    This is a small hole in a wall restaurant in Lower Main in Wailuku, Maui, Hi. It has a small menu but very good food and tasty to the palate. I went twice and each time we ordered appetizers. I love the local hawn twist of gnocchi using taro or kalo instead of potato served in a creamy sauce with luau leaves.it waa exquisite! The pickled pohole fern shoots salad was so good had two servings. The fried salted garlic shrimp was crisp n tender. I actually ate it shell n all! I highly recommend Ogo and the next time will try the dinner menu. Service was fast too. And Btw its BYOB too!

    This is an update since they moved to their new location on Lower Main Street. This new spot has a very nice atmosphere and it's all ground level with no stairs . Easy parking. The friendly girl at the front told me about the new features, such as a big room in back for private parties. You can also reserve the whole restaurant for private parties. I really like the food here, and today we tried the Reuben pastrami and sauerkraut sandwich (to go) which was a winner. I didn't realize it came with fries and those were awesome. Even my picky little dog liked them. I really like this new location and I'll be back soon.

    Me and my girlfriend went here on last minute dinner pick, on a quick President's Day weekend trip to Maui. The food is simply AMAZING. We had the poke nachos and sirloin dishes; flavors are so good. This restaurant is really the only restaurant that I've been to so far in Hawaii that innovates asian and local food well, for such a reasonable price along with that. Love the casual and friendly vibes that come from the workers and the others dining. This restaurant doesn't come up on Instagram, and we almost missed this place because of that. Easily one of my favorite restaurants in Hawaii, just a shame I live on Oahu. Ogo's is a must pick if your in Maui!

    So stoked for OGO's new location in Lower Main, right next to Made in Hope Café (where JB's Kitchen used to be) and are now open every day from 5-9pm. Wagyu Swiss Burger + Sidewinder Truffle Fries - Juicy wagyu burger stacked with Swiss, plus those addicting curly sidewinder fries drizzled in truffle and sprinkled with Parmesan. Wagyu Skirt Steak on Garlic Fried Rice - Tender wagyu on top of garlicky fried rice that hits the spot every time. Taro Gnocchi - Soft, chewy taro gnocchi in a tasty, island-style sauce. Tempura Pork Ribs - Crispy on the outside, fall-apart tender on the inside covered with smoked guava butter. Lumpia Ahi Nachos - Crunchy lumpia chips loaded with fresh ahi and all the fixings. Oxtail Katsu - Golden, crunchy katsu stuffed with melt-in-your-mouth oxtail. If you've been craving Ogo, or never had the chance to try them before, this is the perfect time to stop by for dinner. OGO is my Go-To spot in Wailuku!

    OGOs Oxtail Katsu

    The food was fantastic and the prices are reasonable! It was a great way to finish off our week vacation in Maui. It started with a Hawaii Food and Wine brunch event and ended at OGO. It was definitely a more casual environment but one of the nicer places we went to in Maui. You can dress up or not. There was a full range of seafood, beef and pork options. We ordered three entrees and a couple appetizers for 4 of us and ate family style so we could all try everything and we ate it down to the last bite. We actually started eating it before we remembered to take the photos, so some things don't look like much, but trust that it's all good. Her sauces were amazing too. I remember that the chef had an apron on that had Escoffier Culinary School on it, if that makes a difference if you know the style of cooking at that academy. Service was great too, and the waiter helped us figure out what to eat. The single complaint we had was that our throats were a little sore after eating the taro leave entree, but only 2 of the 4 of us noticed it. We let the chef know so she could check out what happened and correct it for other customers. I personally didn't feel bad and thought it was fine, so it might have been just a leaf or two that didn't cook enough. Overall I still give it all a 10 out of 10! Thanks for a great memory!

    8/7/24 $15 ahi katsu sandwich special w/their fries
    Tris W.

    Yesterday as I was trying to decide what to have for lunch I came across Ogo's lunch special on my social media feed. He posted a delicious ahi katsu sammie with housemade tartar sauce on a potato bun served with their sidewinder fries. SOLD :) I ordered their lunch special to go but when I arrived, I decided to sit down and eat half of it while there. They had just opened. Their hours for lunch are 11am-2pm Monday- Friday and dinner is 5pm-9pm Tuesday- Saturday The ahi katsu sandwich hit the spot for this hungry working mama. It was crispy on the outside and moist on the inside. The sidewinder fries that I've had before at their food truck was tasty and perfect with their sandwich. LOCATION: They are now located at 331 Ho'okahi st. #201 across from the Maui food bank on the second floor in the middle. Hard to miss. Down the road is Dani's catering, TJs and many other businesses. SERVICE: Service has always been fantastic. They are so sweet. Support local always. OVERALL: Love their new spot and I keep hearing so many great things about it. I cant wait to go back and have dinner there. Make sure you stalk their socials when you're hungry to see what kind of specials they are having. I know I do lol Check them out.

    Loved visiting their new brick and mortar spot for their dinner service! You have to have their venison lumpia, their dipping sauce with it is peak! Aside from that, I also love their oxtail katsu! It's a nice cozy lunch/dinner spot and the chef and crew are all a pleasure to chat with! - Miguel Morales Photography

    Hamachi sashimi with shave ice ponzu
    Dean L.

    Once a popular mobile food truck in Maui Lani, now a 2nd Floor brick & mortar restaurant in the nearby Kahului Industrial area above the 7 Pools Lounge. Reservations and menu selections are convenient on Open Table through the website. On a busy Friday night Servers double as hosts. You'll need to catch their eye and they'll ask if you have a reservation then seat and drop water and menus. ATM you can bring a few cold beers to sip while waiting for dishes. So many great descriptions of products, we settled on Tempura pork ribs, Hamachi sashimi, Crispy Oxtail Katsu and Lobster Crusted Fish. The wait wasn't too long but our Akamai server let us know food was coming out. The novel tempura ribs were attractively moist and tender with meat falling off the bone and had a contrasting crispy texture. Loved the flavors of the smoky-sweet guava glaze. The Hamachi was refreshingly different, with slices of fish under a course textured shave ice of ponzu so it wouldn't melt too fast. Entree of Oxtail Katsu was a great idea. The tepid meat with hints of star anise was tender and had a crispy crust that was sliced. I imagine lots of labor for that dish that could also be considered to use Braised Beef Brisket or Shank. The Lobster Crusted Fish I think was Mahi and impressive. Maybe it was an imitation style Lobster (seafood sensation?) but was tasty, nicely garnished and generous in portion. Bothe entrees were served with fried broccoli and steamed rice, and were moist with sauces, the fish had poi which I love. Although we were pretty full we chose the Guava Cake for dessert. It was a simple attractive presentation, and generous portion. Academically, the layered cake was very nicely baked and constructed. A bit more guava concentrate, syrup or pool of sauce would elevate the expected flavor for $10. We'll need to return to try out the other specialty dishes like Poi Gnocchi, Korean Chicken Noodles, Oysters, and Uni Carbonara. Keep it up Ogo Crew, we need fun restaurants like this on Maui!

    The owners of this food truck sold it and moved into a 2F location on Hookahi Street 9n the Wailuku Industrial Park over a year ago. The restaurant serves upscale appetizers and entrees. We started off by sharing their house sale with beets. For our main course, I had the boneless pan seared ribeye and my wife had the miso glazed fish. Reservations are recommended, as they can be busy on some nights.

    miso braised local fish

    Food: 10/10 Everything was so ono (delicious) and full of flavor. They take simple local dishes and elevate them. Service: 8/10 I appreciate how fast the food came out. Ambiance: 9/10 Cute spacious layout with booth and chair seating. I like this new location. Ogo is definitely a great affordable date night/family dinner spot if you are looking for elevated local inspired food. Mahalo Ogo!

    Special sushi
    Janelle L.

    One of the better restaurant options for Maui dining that's NOT in a hotel/resort. It has the potential to be an absolutely amazing upscale eatery. I was excited to try this place while visiting with friends on Maui. It's located on the second floor, the stairs to get up there is located on the left if you're facing the building. There's not a lot of seating, definitely make reservations. The dishes were quite pleasing to the eye and taste was pretty good. I was excited to try the whole fish ta'ape but found out they didn't have any when we went. It was substituted with a different type of white fish and topped with something like a crab Oscar. It was fine, I was just REALLY looking forward to that whole fried fish. My favorite new try of the night was the taro gnocchi with bacon cream and stewed luau leaves. The photo and presentation looked kinda drab, such is the nature of poi, but the flavor was amazing. I could have used a little textural change, maybe some very small crispy lardons or a bread crumb gremolata. The osso buco was beautifully presented, I didn't try it but my friend said it was good. We also tried the sashimi with the ponzu shaved ice. Great idea, needs a little more flare to it. Overall, I'd come back, I can only see them getting better.

    Taro Gnocchi
    Marko C.

    From food truck to brick & motor. Ogo has done some amazing foods! Service is great and the atmosphere is casual. Sashimi with yuzu shoyu shaved ice! Amazing and fun to eat. The fish is fresh ahi and hamachi, topped with an innovative and delightful yuzu citrus and shoyu shaved ice. Loved this'. Grade: A Taro Gnocchi! I could have licked the plate. Taro made into a delightful gnocchi served with some taro leaf cream. It's like eating a laulau in a dish! Grade: A+ Lechon Kawali Maki Sushi! Crispy and savory Lechon (roasted pork) made into a maki sushi by adding rice and tomatoes. Fun to try! Grade: B+ Braised Short ribs! Delightful. Fall apart tender. Delicious! Grade: A Ox tail Katsu! Braised ox tail, deboned, and made into a katsu. Served with grated daikon. Fun to try! Grade: B+. Prices are reasonable. Be sure to make a reservation!

This way the cook which is Marisa's husband can focus on those dishes! I wanted to know what's popular and Marisa mentioned in this order: chicken tempura, chicken katsu & the donburi. I'm sure all of them are all popular! Since I already have some other foods that I picked up along the way and wanted to try the signature chicken tempura bites, I got a plate of that with all rice, no sides and got a bottle of the spicy sauce. I can't wait to use that! We ate the food at the airport and I loved it, the tempura batter is so soft, not as crispy since we didn't eat it right away and taste so unique. I never had tempura with chicken, ever. I loved dipping the chicken tempura in that sauce, so yummy! ( dip, eat with rice, repeat. repeat..) I can't wait to go back for more next visit and I need to try the donburi and rest of the menu items . Did you know you can get an entire bucket of tempura chicken, $40.?! Please support this local business, my very first time visiting and I am a fan!

They checked in frequently, and the food was pretty prompt. Food - The ahi tartare had some chips in between the ahi, and the whole thing was plated on some oil + wasabi sauce. I thought the sauce was complimentary to the ahi, and was not overwhelmingly strong. The tortellini was my favorite - the prosciutto add on (+$4) is a must! It was the most flavorful part of the dish. The tortellini sit on some pesto sauce, but I think the dish would've been a bit bland without the pop of saltiness from the prosciutto. The tiramisu had a pretty strong coffee flavor. I think I'm more used to the tiramisu from Asian bakeries, in which the flavor is more light and airy. This one was neither, but coffee lovers would likely really enjoy it! They provided complimentary bread as well with some fluffy butter on the side. The bread seemed to be overly toasted - it was hard to bite and the texture was not very soft. When my husband mentioned that the bread might be overcooked, the server said the bread was cooked fresh every day and seemed to be offended by the comment. Anyway, we didn't mean any harm. Just maybe toast the bread a little less? All in all, it was a nice place to dine in for an evening. Would be nice to have a glass of wine next time!

Just as awesome as I remember - just needed a dash of the soup, splash of shoyu, dab of Tabasco, and a lot of cracked black pepper! Ugh, so ONO! The Cheeseburger Deluxe and French Fries were honestly not gourmet, but the nostalgia factor brings it up a notch for me. Don't forget to dip into their Mustard/Mayo mix, it's a game changer! The BBQ Sticks were a little overdone this time but I'll let it slide because I do love that char on the edges.
