    Good poke and solid prices. Small lot and small eating area outside. Loved the tuna here

    Best part of Ono Seafood is the gelato they sell for Il Gelato. The poke is not as great.
    Conni R.

    Not the freshest poke if I'm being honest. They must capitalize on being the only poke spot for miles because I don't understand how they have 4+ stars. The portions were small. I missed the photo op but there was nothing captivating. The spicy sauce on the spicy salmon couldn't cover up the gamey taste. Same goes for the miso ahi, but it was slightly better than the salmon. The poke wasn't cut consistently, had some stringy pieces, and wasn't cold enough either. It seemed like it had been saturated for a while, too slimy. Plastic or styrofoam bowls would definitely help with the presentation. They're currently charging $20 for poke bowls served in a mini plate lunch container filled with mostly rice. The best part of the trip was the gelato. It's not theirs, they are vendors for Il Gelato. The dragonfruit and mango lilikoi combo made up for the mediocre poke. I would return for the gelato.

    I dropped by this small poke place near Leonard's and got a poke bowl. I got half shoyu ahi and half spicy ahi. The fish was so fresh and melted in your mouth. I love the combination of the spicy mayo and tempura flakes that came with it. There are no tables inside but there is some outdoor seating.

    This was the most fresh seafood I've had in Hawaii. The texture of the fish was so delicious. I tore this bowl up in mere minutes, it didn't stand a chance against me.

    My boyfriend and I wanted to eat a good poke bowl so we made a stop at Ono Seafood on our way into Waikiki. There are only a couple stalls in the front of the store so parking is not the greatest. Before you enter there are a few tables that you can sit and eat your food. Inside, it's pretty small so I can imagine if it gets busy the line can go out the door. Although, the line moved fast and they seemed to be very efficient. You can look at the menu board while you're waiting so you can decide what you want. They have all the poke choices on there and sometimes have specials posted on the glass where you order. I got the Hawaiian style and miso tako. I was hoping the Hawaiian style had a little more taste, but otherwise still good. The miso tako was my favorite! Yummmmm. My boyfriend got the Shoyu poke and spicy tako. His shoyu was really tasty! The only part I didn't care for so much was the long grain rice because it was just a tad bit dry. Otherwise, everything was good. I've tried their poke before when someone brought it to a get together but this was the first time I've made a stop here. Nice staff and very efficient + Ono poke!

    Good option to put on the list for poke bowl besides F**dlands and I will give Ono higher score for the freshness! Price wise it's also decent and ordering process is swift. They occasionally offer salmon as well! Obviously the dining ambiance is prolly the downside as it's a simple outdoor patio in front of the venue, but hey it does the job! We got their combo of Wasabi Ahi and Spicy Salmon, both of which we really love. I might like the sauce from the other well known place tad better, but would say this one was certainly delectable!

    We visiting their food truck at the Kaka'ako Farmers Market. There was no line around 1pm and service was fast. The fish was good, but didn't taste much different from the other poke i've tried on the island. The poke to rice ratio was off though, I wished there was more poke.

    Emily C.

    So glad I finally got to try Ono Seafood! I got the salmon and ahi poke and really enjoyed both. The fish was super fresh and the sauce was flavorful. The rice wasn't the freshest, but honestly the fish quality more than made up for it. Portion sizes are big, and everything comes out super quick. It's more of a grab-and-go spot, but there are a few tables if you want to sit and eat. Overall, really solid poke. Can't wait to come back!

    What? I can't believe I haven't reviewed this iconic poke spot. Indeed their fish was amazing - fresh and smooth, and their seasoning for the poke was spot on. However I can't give them 5 stars coz I think it's overpriced for what it is. Plus the rice was so undercooked I ended up feeding half of my rice to the birds. It's dry like bird food. I'd recommend ordering the poke by the lb and take it home to eat with some good Japanese rice. Also, no line for lunchtime on a Saturday in February!

    Spicy ahi & shoyu ahi
    Sina M.

    Ono Seafood and it was hands down the best poke I had on the island. The fish was insanely fresh like it literally melted in your mouth and had that buttery texture that you can't fake. I got the spicy ahi and my friend got the shoyu ahi, and both were so flavorful and perfectly seasoned. It is a little on the pricier side, but honestly it was 100% worth it I finished every single bite. Everything is made fresh and comes out super fast, and the owners were so nice (they even let me sample the spicy ahi first to make sure I liked it). Definitely one of those spots I'd go back to ASAP and recommend to everyone.

    Honestly overhyped. This is one of the most popular poke spots out in Honolulu and is usually one that friends visiting recommend. However, it is still delicious but it is a bit overpriced for the portion size. We went around 10am on a Saturday and it was not busy, but people started trickling in right after we got our food. The seating is mostly outside, or you can enjoy takeout elsewhere as everything is served in a takeout container. We got the shoyu ahi (tuna) and Hawaiian style tako (squid) combination which was $17+tax. As most of my poke experiences are previously frozen, I could taste the quality difference - the fish is much smoother and melt in your mouth texture. The marination is on point. However, they gave a disproportionate amount of rice to compensate for a less generous amount of poke (comparing it to other people's photos) so we ended up having to toss half a container of rice when we finished the meal. The rice was also quite undercooked so it did not blend well with the poke.

    Angel L.

    Parking: small shared lot, I can see it getting busy tho. We ended up getting a quarter pound of the shoyu ahi and wow it was delicious! We were already full from lunch but definitely wish we weren't. We came on a Friday and it wasn't too packed, we were able to grab a seat just as the rain was rolling in. Not really ideal for a big group of people because there's no seating inside and outside is quite limited. It would be better if planning to order take out and then hitting the beach! Prob the best poke we had during our trip!

    Emily G.

    No line at 2:30pm on a Friday. The only seating available are 2 picnic tables right outside which were empty. We got lucky and found a spot in their small shared lot but I can see it being very difficult during peak hours. Prices here are definitely on the expensive side but marination of the shoyu ahi and Hawaiian style ahi was perfect. Poke was so fresh, smooth and melt in your mouth so it was worth the splurge. Service was friendly and quick

The lobster itself was super fresh and the texture is great. You can taste the freshness from the food and you know that the lobster is not previously frozen.

All rolls are served with following sides: crinkle cut potato chips, melted butter, house coleslaw, garlic mayo, lemon wedge, and Old Bay seasoning. The meat is served chilled in the bun. They have 4 "sizes" that they serve on a toasted brioche bun (~6 inch bun): - The Regular (3.5 oz)**: $36.99 - The Popular (5 oz)**: $49.99 - The Big One (7 oz)**: $62.99 - The Maine Event (1/2 lb (8 oz)): $74.99 **You can also ask for extra 1.5 oz lobster meat to this size for $13.99. You can also buy just the cooked lobster meat: 1/2 lb (8 oz) for $75.00 They have can drinks such as sodas (including Hawaiian sodas) and beer. The roll was actually quite tasty! I was able to experiment with different flavors with the Old Bay seasoning, garlic mayo, lemon, and butter. The garlic mayo was surprisingly good with the lobster. You can also throw the Old Bay seasoning on the chips if you're in the mood. The price is pretty steep which was my mistake. I don't know what I was expecting when ordering lobster in Waikiki. The lady at the cash register was less than pleasant and helpful so it makes spending that money feel a little more painful. If you can afford it and are really craving a lobster roll, this should satiate you. I didn't feel like I needed more to eat after finishing my meal. Location: The store is located in the Royal Hawaiian shopping center. You have to take a staircase from the first floor to a lower floor to get to it. You may need to ask around for directions. The restaurant is super small. Maybe two or 3 small tables that can fit no more than 6-8 people.
