Ohhhhh no, Ono! What a place! Can't get enough! FOOD: highly recommend any item from their relatively small menu. I love their curry and chicken katsu. It's flavorful, filling, and just good food. It makes you feel good after and that's one thing I love. SERVICE: this is a counter order establishment. The staff are always very friendly. PARKING: easy in the United Noodle parking lot AMBIANCE: surprisingly nice for mid grocery store. Wouldn't come here expecting much of a dining experience but if you just can't wait to eat, it's not bad either! read more

The food was fantastic and the staff were very friendly. My wife ordered the Garlic Shrimp with the Kalbi Short Ribs, and I ordered the Hawaiian BBQ and Garlic Shrimp. Everything was very flavorful and tasted fresh. The only thing I didn't like was that a lot of the tables needed to be wiped down, and there weren't even many people in the restaurant at the time. But once I mentioned it, she came right out and cleaned the tables off, so I appreciated that. Overall it was a great experience and we'll definitely be back. read more

Absolutely delicious! The portion and quality of food is so worth the price! $12 for this whole bowl with macaroni salad and I was full even after splitting this with my boyfriend! Chicken is nicely grilled (no crazy seasoning with just right amount of grilling). Rice is also really sticky and soft and just right melts into your tongue!!! Service is a little slow because they only have one person working. But, the server was very friendly and utensils are provided at the counter. It's located in the middle of United noodles so vibes are always good! This reminds me of h-mart on the east coast, but more chill and community-oriented. read more

Hidden gem, seriously. It's inside of a grocery store so if you feel like you're going into a dead end, back of the store where you normally see deliveries, you're in the right place. Once you walk in, it's to the right. So many delicious options, with big portions that will absolutely last for 2 meals. So far I've had the chicken lunch plate and the short rib plate. Perfection both times. I don't care much for the macaroni salad it comes with but that's okay. I can't wait to come back and try other things. A friend got the shrimp and said that was also amazing! Highly recommend read more

I've been wanting to try Loco Moco so my husband brought me to Ono, we both got the original Loco Moco and shared the hurricane fries, we probably could have shared the Loco Moco because we both ended up super full before finishing the fries. It was good, I wish maybe there was a little more gravy but the flavors were all good, textures etc were all great. It's order & they give you a number type deal, grab your own cutlery & napkins. So low key casual and it's inside of an Asian grocery store just fyi, so grab some ramen and other Asian fare while you're there! (And coastal seafoods is around the corner too!) read more

This is a bit of an odd location, being inside of United Noodles, but the low key and casual vibes are perfect for a mid shopping trip lunch or just a quick stop while you are in the neighborhood. Simple counter service where they will bring food out to your table, this is an easy spot to go with kids or family. I got the chicken Katsu and Short ribs combo plate. It was a little pricey at nearly 25 bucks, but I will say it was enormous amount of food and ended up not finishing it. Could absolutely share with someone else and be very happy. The chicken katsu was nice and crisp on the outside without being overcooked, and the honey mustard/katsu sauces paired perfectly with the salty breading. The short ribs were the star of the show, sweet and tangy, absolutely the type of meat you crave until you go back. I am very much looking forward to returning next time I need to go to United Noodle for groceries, and maybe even before that. read more

First time having Hawaiian plates. We order 2 plates to share among 3 of us. Plenty of food for us to enjoy and still had leftovers. We had the beef ribs, chicken, and shrimp. We also ordered the noodles and eggs on the side. My favorite was the bbq chicken! The beef ribs were a little tough and what wasn't tough was fatty. The shrimp was ok. The macaroni salad was good. The noodles were amazing. I think when I return, I'll order the chicken plate and get noodles on the side. Definitely worth a try! The place is cute and the staff are friendly! read more

I had the privilege to try Hawaiian bbq for the first time in California. After that memorable and delicious experience, I HAD to see if Minnesota had any similar joints, especially as someone who loves Japanese cuisine e.g. chicken katsu. To my luck, I was happy to see one back in MN. Obviously I had to go and compare. Rice and macaroni were good and expected. Katsu sauce was a bit too tangy and sweet, although preference varies from others. However, I obviously had to focus on the main star: the Katsu. Compared and contrasted to the Hawaiian bbq based in California aforementioned: chicken was good and not too dry at all. The breading/panko could've used more gritty texture, more bite to it. Some of the breading didn't adhere properly to the chicken as well. Otherwise, not too bad at all. Ambiance is okay, did not expect it inside a grocery store. I wonder if this business expanded and has their own building in the Twin Cities to promote traffic. read more

Fun BBQ flavors in the United Noodle grocery store. The portions are quite large. The BBQ was my fav and my bf loved the mac salad. The chicken katsu was crispy and tastes good with the sauce which they don't give you too much of. The rice is well seasoned and not dry. I love their spam masubi which is harder to find now. read more

Oh man this place was good. Nestled right inside United Noodle. The food coming out of this place was delicious. I got the Katsu & BBQ chicken combo plate with rice and Mac salad. It was all great. I did a combo of dipping sauces to try- my favorite was the katsu sauce and guava BBQ. Laid back atmosphere, limited seating but had open spots for lunch during the week. Will definitely be back to try other things. read more

Having been to United noodles I finally got myself to try this restaurant inside. There was plenty of seating with cafeteria style tables and it didn't feel cramped at all since it's an open ceiling. You order and pay at the front which I appreciate and your order is brought out to your table. They have sparking water on their fountain machine which I enjoyed since I only got a cup for water but they do carry a variety of pop and Hawaiian style drinks. The food was a generous portion for the price ($15.50) and can definitely have enough for two meals. Food was decent and met expectations. After you eat you can shop around in the grocery store for lots of other goodies to take home. read more

I was really looking forward to eating here today, but unfortunately the service left us disappointed. My family and I arrived a few minutes early and patiently waited while the staff finished setting up. My husband and I were even planning how we'd photograph the food to showcase what we love about their dishes. Unfortunately, we were never acknowledged the entire time we were inside. We chose a table right in front of the register, where one of the owners was working on her laptop, and we waited for some indication that they were ready to take orders--but nothing. When another couple arrived after us and were served first, we decided to leave. It's disheartening because we made a point to come here--we even spent time nearby shopping at Target and exploring United Noodles while waiting for them to open. We've always loved their food, but this experience left such a bad impression it's hard to want to return. read more

I always love coming here, tucked away inside United Noodle, Ono Hawaiian Plates is a fantastic spot for a quick lunch or dinner. The food is served plate style with plenty of protein options, my go to is the Chicken Katsu and BBQ Chicken combo, but if you want to splurge the short rib is also excellent. It is amazing to have authentic Hawaiian flavors right here in Minnesota, and it is definitely worth checking out. The service is decent, and while the seating can feel cramped during peak lunch hours, that is only because the place gets busy. Overall, it is one of my favorite hidden gems in Minneapolis. read more

10/10 for the chicken katsu plate. $9 for a big plate of crispy chicken with the perfect amount of macaroni on the side. 7/10 for the poke bowl. The quality of the tuna isn't the best and there are a lot of sauces that overpowered the fish in my opinion. They are located inside the grocery store, and they play good kpop music! Service was good, very straight forward, and they bring the food to your table. Plenty of parking available. read more

Love me some Ono! This is my first time coming to the location inside United Noodle; typically I go to their North Loop location inside the Galley. Their BBQ chicken ($12) is perfectly marinated, and super flavorful without being overly salty! They give you a side of teriyaki sauce to dip in but I honestly don't even think it really needs it. The plate comes standard with 2 scoops of white rice and 1 scoop of Hawaiian macaroni salad, but I find it worth it to add the $2 upcharge to do 2 mac, 1 rice. The garlic noodles were also quite good--a perfect blend of savory and creamy! The portions for the mains are a great value for the price; if we weren't starving, each of these easily could've been two meals. I also got a SPAM musubi, which felt a little on the small side, but was still good. I love that this place is inside United Noodle so you can either choose from their Hawaiian juice beverage options, or choose something from the store's offerings. The staff is very quick, even if there's a bit if a line when you get there, and they've got about half a dozen tables for those choosing to dine on, which I think is super reasonable for the space they have. I'll definitely be back to try some of the other offerings in the future. read more

We were in the area and craving poke. This restaurant is located at United Noodles grocery store. Located in the right side of the store, there's tables and chairs under the large trellis. They have specials listed on the board. Order at the counter and they will give you a number, then bring the food to your table. Garlic shrimp is always a favorite. Poke comes in 2 different flavors, spicy is really spicy. read more

It was so hard to pick from my favorite "Chicken Katsu" or wings. I went with the wings. They are the best Thai Chili wings I've ever had! The sauce tasted homemade and the crispiness of the wings was spot on yet juicy on the inside. Perfection! You can choose between rice, fries (which looked amazing) or macaroni salad alongside the wings. We also ordered the BBQ chicken/Kalua Pork and it comes with rice and macaroni salad. It was excellent and their Island Teriyaki Sauce paired perfectly with the meats. The sauce was so good we bought a small container to go for $3. This place is located inside United Noodle. So grab some asian groceries after you stuff yourself so you don't buy so much groceries and snacks like we did before eating. read more

Hard to go wrong with grilled meat. The taste was exactly what I was craving for. The kalbi was tender and savory. Katsu never has much flavor for me and I'm not a fan of Katsu sauce. The Katsu was fine for what it is. The teriyaki chicken was nicely grilled, clean flavor and thankful it didn't come slathered in sauce so I could enjoy the smoky flavor and choose how much sauce I want. I didn't realize I needed to grab utensils myself but the owners nicely grabbed some forks for us as they brought the food. You bus the trays yourself when done. Tables are connected together for a communal feel. You get a lot of food so be prepared to take some home. read more

Completely blown away by this place!! There are so few places in the country where you can get authentic Hawaiian food on the mainland. Thank you chefs Warren and Jess for bringing such beautiful food to warm the bellies of Minnesotans. My family is from Hawaii and wow what a treat it is to have food like this. I'm originally from NYC and even there there is no where that compares to this level of Hawaiian yumminess. Also if you are just eating chicken Katsu, I am begging you to try their kalua pig loco moco or even some bbq [meat of choice]! read more

All of the food here is insanely flavorful. Really great textures, especially their Panko fried items. Always a friendly face at the counter and good service. I'm typically in here for groceries at United noodles, which this is located inside of but either way every time I've stopped in the food has been top-notch. Pretty quick turn around And have yet to have anything close to disappointing. I do miss the little spot that was in there before because they had an insanely good Ramen, but this spot really hits a bunch of notes and I think the mix of Hawaiian and Japanese with a little bit of American fusion is cool. read more

GO HERE! NOW! This food is F A N T A S T I C! The portions are honestly huge and so worth the price which I don't think is expensive at all. My boyfriend and I shared a katsu & shrimp combo. It came with macaroni salad, rice, and some different sauces. The shrimp were huge and perfectly cooked. Some of the best I've honestly ever had. The katsu was crisp and thin and great. I have absolutely zero complaints about this place. The staff is very friendly as well! Plus, afterwards you can grocery shop at United which is a great asian grocery store! I like the picnic tables and the cute little Hawaiian vibe read more

Man running the front was sweet and informative.

I'm more comfortable with a sweeter taste where theirs just tasted like lite mayo only. Over all everything was finely cooked. read more

After a recent trip to Maui I was missing the Hawaiian flare! I was pleased to see Ono located downtown in the food hall and eager went to try. I'll be honest- I hate this food fall, but I'd return again just for Ono....but if they happen to move I'll happily follow. After ordering at a counter you'll make your way towards a table where they bring your food out. The portions are huge! Honestly it felt like we were right back on the island. I got the kalua pig and it was seasoned well, with the addition of the mac salad it balanced out the salt and left every bit to hit alllllll the notes. You'll get two scoops of rice wich felt like enough in the moment, but I had a lot more pork left at the end of the meal vs. all the rice being gone. I don't mind that as making rice is super easy. We will return, I loved the friendly service and if you have any questions on the food they are happy to help! If you are in the area check it out! read more

Located inside the united noodle store, this place has communal sitting with park style tables. Got the plate of both chicken katsu and kulua pork, the garlic noodles and a deluxe poke bowl. The noodles came out first. Noodles were soft and chewy, the garlic wasn't dominant in flavor but was there. The chicken katsu I felt could be more tender. The crunch is good but it was kinda tough. The pork was good, flavorful and porky. The only thing I didn't like were the 2 bbq sauce as they were both a little sweet. The Mac and cheese was pretty bland for me. The poke bowl is good. Can't go wrong with that. The tuna was good. Service was quick. read more

Very Tasty Loco Moco. Better than some places I've had it in Hawaii. Odd location, but I guess it's cheaper for them than a stand alone space. But how cool would it be if they had their own space, with a tropical patio and water view, think Psycho Susie's, Charlie's on Prior, Maybe a partnership with a bar owner is in order. read more

As someone from Hawaii now living in the Midwest, I constantly miss local food -- so when a friend told me there was a Hawaiian restaurant in Minnesota, I had to check it out. Ono Hawaiian Plates blew me away! Honestly, it's some of the best local food I've ever had -- even better than a lot of places back home in Hawaii. We loved it so much that we decided to have them cater our wedding. In fact, we only considered venues that allowed outside catering because having Ono's food was that important to us. And we're so glad we did! Our guests couldn't stop raving -- many said it was the best wedding food they've ever had and that they had to visit the restaurant afterward. One of the best parts? We had leftovers -- and they were the kind of leftovers you're actually excited to eat! So thankful to have had Ono Hawaiian Plates as part of our big day. Highly, highly recommend! read more

Did you grow up in Hawaiʻi and feel a lil homesick in the Twin Cities? Come to Ono Hawaiian Plates! The owners, Jess and Warren, are from Maui island and Pearl City, Oahu respectively. Jess, especially has a lovely energy that you would love to talk to her. They have local food that you typically would see on the L&L menu -- chicken katsu, bbq chicken, kalua pork, kahuku shrimp, kalbi, loco moco, etc. Their plate lunch comes with two scoops of white rice and one scoop of mac salad. I've never tried their poke yet but on their menu it says "#pokeisnotasalad" which makes me feel relieved because haole/U.S.-style poke tend to put more vegetables than fish on their poke bowls! I personally tried their bbq chicken, kalbi, kalua pork, and hurricane fries. They were definitely ono. My only complaint is that the kalua pork tasted a little dry... Note: This is my review for Ono Hawaiian Plates' location inside United Noodles grocery store. read more
