Parking: located in the old JB's restaurant with parking lot attached. Service: table service Ambiance: casual Food: once a food truck turned restaurant know for their local fusion dishes. Went for lunch - would recommend their oxtail katsu and kulolo crunch for dessert. Great place for a quick lunch or dinner. read more

Ogo - Oxtail Katsu - Asian Fusion Near Me - Wailuku, Hawaii

We have enjoyed the food here a number of times, and it's always very good. They have a nice clean restaurant with good service. It wasn't very busy at lunchtime, but they were having a private event in the back room. I tried a bite of the lobster sandwich and kind of wish I had ordered that. My Korean chicken was very crispy and tasty. The prices are very reasonable. They are definitely worth a try. read more

So I have been eating at OGO Since they were a lunch truck in Wailuku. Then when they moved upstairs from the bar in Wailuku and now in the new location. I like the new location definitely easier for people to get to as the last location was upstairs with no elevator. One thing that has not changed is the food is still just as good if not even better than before. On this trip we had the Lunch Special which was the Waygu loco moco that came with white rice and Mac salad and two eggs over easy. The Wagyu burgers were perfect not over seasoned and the eggs were perfectly cooked. Still runny on the inside. I had the mis fish which was an ahi today. I liked the fact that the Miso was not overwhelming they got them mix perfect and the broccoli was perfectly cooked and it came with a scoop of white rice. Everything was perfectly done and just the right amount of food. The price is still reasonable for the quality of the food you are getting and the service was great even though there was only one waitress and she was doing double duty as hostess. She was very pleasant and the service is some of the best I have had on Maui. I like how the new place has a nice local feel while having that new but welcoming aura. I will definitely be going back because I like to support local and these guys are making some great food for reasonable prices. I definitely recommend these guys and I will definitely be going back. So much more menu items to try. read more

Tried for first time, ordered oxtail katsu, it sounded good!! BUT I didn't like that it was sitting in oil in my plate, soaked my rice and broccoli had to actually put a paper towel to drain out the oil!! Also ordered bang bang shrimp, That was good Please let fried food rest before plating, thanku. read more

We finally got a chance to check out their new location in the former JBs Kitchen on Lower Main Street. They did a really nice job on renovating the space! It's bright and clean with new flooring and furniture. The service is fast and very friendly! We ordered the Korean chicken with drymein and the mushroom wagyu swiss burger. The burger was big and delicious. It came with large, homemade seasoned fries. The korean chicken reminded me of their chicken bites they had on their food truck menu, which I loved! Super crispy! It went perfectly with the drymein. We're so glad we found another great restaurant to go to in Wailuku. read more

We found this place after reading a couple of reviews online. Looks like it's fairly new and it's sort of tucked away from the road (so if you drive by quickly or at night, very easy to miss). We went by for dinner and grabbed some food to go. Service was great - very friendly staff and efficient. Dishes: 1) Pohole fern and spring mix salad 5/5 - comes with a balsamic vinaigrette. I loved it! Might not be for everyone but the dressing was on point and it had some fund ingredients. 2) Lobster dynamite 4/5 - these are baked rolls which were super tasty. I just wish they hadn't put so much of the cream sauce on top. 3) Korean chicken and tutu karen okra's dry mein 5/5 - the chicken was on point and the noodles are (as listed) a bit on the drier side but it all goes well together. I would definitely go back and try the other dishes + their lunch menu! read more

The waitress is so nice and friendly. She's a hard worker. Food is never disappointing. And if you request a change, they'll try to accommodate you. I had the sea bass instead of ahi and it was fab! read more

The food is sooo ono! The service is great. Nice clean restaurant, family friendly. Highly recommend. read more

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! read more

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! read more

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! read more

The Oxtail Katsu is mean! I want to try other items but idk if I'd want to miss eating this again. Service is local and friendly. Great place! read more

Some items awesome, some tasty and meh for value, not enough (or any?) fresh veggies on the plate. Best bet is to come with a group and try a little of everything to see what hits for you. Service is awesome. Interior is comfy cafe vibes. Parking is right in front. read more

The food is fresh, delicate to the pallet. The different dishes don't over power the other, dishes enhance the flavors & experience. Staff top notch, 10 HOKU AWARD. You gotta go back until you have tried everything on the menu. Wailuku's hidden secret. Nice for 40 pax gathering. Yum!!! read more

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! read more

Amazing food and service here at OGO! Mahalo to our awesome server, Nehoa and kudos to chef Grant. We had lunch as we were visiting the island for the day. The portions and price along with the aloha in the food service and taste will be something I look forward to next time I'm on Maui. Can't wait to come back! read more

Great food! It was nice seeing Ogo's at a new, slightly bigger location. Service was great! Our young waiters (17 years old!) were funny, attentive, and charming. Service was relatively fast, except for one of our table 's orders (we had 7 people) ended coming out much later because of a hiccup in the kitchen. No big deal at all. Food was worth the wait and tasted amazing!! Can't wait to come back! read more

Amazing dinner and the service was great! Panko crusted sea bass with lobster risotto was cooked to perfection. Shrimp pupu was so tender and flavorful. Kulolo crunch was amazing! read more

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. read more

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 read more

Ogo - Venison Lumpia (@miguelmoralesphotography on Instagram) - Asian Fusion Near Me - Wailuku, Hawaii

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! read more

This small Asian fusion restaurant is terrific. We loved the taro gnocchi, truffle French fries, Wagu Steak, chicken plate and Swiss cheese mushroom burger. There is no liquor license, but you can bring your own. I highly recommend this very unique restaurant. read more

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. read more

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! read more

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. read more

Delicious lunch here! Service was wonderful and friendly. We enjoyed the fried chicken thighs with rice and fried broccoli. Also the mushroom wagyu burger with truffle fries was very good. Very clean dining room, too. read more

The food was good overall, but I felt the plates were a bit too large, which made the portions seem smaller than they actually were. My favorite was the lobster roll, and the truffle fries had great flavor, although I think they would be better with skinny fries. I'm not sure if the ribs were meant to be crispy, but they weren't, and I believe they would have been improved with that texture. The kids enjoyed the Korean chicken plate, but my husband didn't care for the burger. I had the mushroom risotto along with the fish of the day (I don't have a picture of it), and it was absolutely delicious! I would definitely go back for the risotto, but not so much for the fish, as it was a bit dry. The atmosphere of the place felt boring and plain, with very few decorations. There was only one server, but she did a great job managing several large parties. Unfortunately, the chairs were uncomfortable; it felt like there was a hole in the middle, with no base, making it feel unstable. read more

Found this little hidden gem the day at landed in Maui for our vacation. Great first meal to kick start my trip. I'm usually not a fan of pork belly but both dishes featured in my pictures were superb. The server was super friendly and patient with us as we scanned the menu trying to make a final decision [it's hard when everything sounds amazing]. We got there a little after 8pm and they did not rush out even though they close at 9pm. When I travel I love to find local business to support. If you're ever in town for a business trip or just vacation, or even just looking for a new spot to try out, definitely stop by Ogo. Casual vibes paired with good flavorful food and great dining experience, what more can you ask for? read more

Nice new Location, convenient and easily accessible! We had appetizers and their main selection! We did it family style vs individual meals. We reordered several different choices!

The oxtail katsu was excellent. First time eating oxtail not in a soup. Broccoli side, was the bomb-diggity ;) Portions were perfectly sized. Our server (didn't get her name) was very friendly and helpful. Looking forward to going back and trying something different. read more

No longer a food truck but a whole sit down restaurant! The food hasn't changed since their food truck days, still delicious as always. Happened to be looking for somewhere for lunch I haven't been to in awhile and the whole office decided to order as they were just trying something new and offered a special for Thursday! Hope they can stick with it but it's definitely a lot of work. Their restaurant is located on a second floor walk up, unsure if there is an elevator in the building so keep that in mind. If stairs aren't an issue, know there is lots of seating inside or can opt for take out. Not sure if there is additional staff but when I went to pick up it was busy due to the special the owner even said someone bought 20 plates! I mean, where else can you get $10 plate lunches and for Ahi Katsu! Stoked the fish wasn't dry but still cooked with great detail even for a special. They're open for lunch, close for a bit and reopen for dinner. Casual, chill vibe and they're super nice. Support local always :) read more

Located away from loud traffic on the second floor is OGO. Very clean and classy, inviting feeling. White cloth wrapped utensils with a small white pupu plate and a clear Tom Collins glass for water awaits on each setting on every table. Service was very good with them explaining what was being substituted for the fish Ta'ape and for the same price! That's a deal because for a piece of Ahi in place of Ta'ape coming from a family of fisherman, Ahi is worth more. But, the 3 of us wanted to order so many things and share. Instead, we ordered Tempura Pork Ribs, Manila Clams & Pastele Sausage, Korean Chicken & Tutu Karen Oura's Dry Mein, OGO's Oxtail Katsu, Lecheon Maki Roll, Truffle Fries, and Tempura sushi. Yes, for 3 of us, 7 course, of course EVERYTHING was so delicious!! And to top things off and end our night was their desserts. We got one of each, Guava Chiffon Cake and Chantilly with Layered Ganache. The Guava cake was very light and nice, just right not too sweet. The Chantilly was missing the Chantilly and was more fudge like. Presentation is everything from this kitchen! Especially that Tempura Pork Ribs. Hope my video can upload. I'd definitely go back again. Spread the word and go enjoy this place that once was a good food truck! Go in and enjoy the food, the service, the company and talk story, and the ambiance!! read more

Food: 3/5 Service: 4/5 Overall: The food was pretty standard fare. The extended review... Food: Oxtail Katsu - 3/5 - I was super excited about this. I think what I didn't like too much about it was the breading was pretty thick. I was looking more for the oxtail and it sort of got lost in the dish. Sidewinder Truffle Fries - 3/5 - Nice and crispy. Pretty standard fare for fries. Service: 4/5 - Friendly service. read more

Tried the Korean Chicken - a bit over fried, but definitely over salted, which I guess was a good appetite suppressant after having just 6 nugget bites out of the 12 or so included. Rice was good, macaroni salad was like a mix of mustard and Mayo. Based on the level of salting for the chicken, I hesitate to come back to try other things, but it is a good food truck location that is easy to pull into with its own parking area. It's a pretty big lot and would be nice if they had picnic tables so people could stay and hang out to eat, but I guess not having food outside keeps the chicken and critter population down a bit more. read more
