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!

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.

Salmon and ahi poke

Great local poke spot. The fish was fresh, but the rice was just standard. There are a lot of flavors/sauces to try so maybe I didn't get the ones that fit to my palate. I do like that they have other options like salmon and tako. Parking is extremely limited so you may have to find some street parking.

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!

Amazing! I obvs got a poke bowl. The guy in charge is obviously a pro, and gave great recs. Perfect flavor, texture, etc. A jewel of a spot!!

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

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.

Shoyu Ahi Bowl
Wayne H.

Been going to Ono's seafood for a long time so this review is long overdue. The fish is always fresh and I recently tried their picked garlic was excellent. We had the shoyu ahi and spicy ahi bowls. It was spicier than I remember but still great. Parking and seating is limited. Overall great poke place.

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!

Whenever I'm in town, I love coming to Ono Seafood. Services is always quick and fast! I usually order a poke bowl and a hawaiian juice. It's the best combo to have with your poke. There's limited outdoor seating and no indoor seating! Parking is always hard since their parking lot is very small. There's street parking but it's a bit hard to find parking.

Hawaiian Style Ahi with Brown Rice & Tempura flakes
John D.

Wanting to try out of the way, made for locals food - away from places that cater to tourists. We arrive in an "older" section of town. Had to look hard, only their sign is visible from the street. It's easy to overshoot the driveway. Parking lot is small, maybe 15 stalls with many signed for other businesses. The store's small, menu posted on the wall. There are 2 picnic table outside, there's no inside seating. Since it was raining we ate ours in the car. I got the #3 Hawaiian Style Ahi, the wife got #7 Spicy Ahi. Both had brown rice and we added Tempura Flakes. Both poke bowls were delicious with a large amount of the meaty stuff. We were definitely full when we finished. We'll be back to next time we're in town.

This was the first place I tried when I arrived in Honolulu, and it set the bar high. It's tucked into a small strip mall, but the poke is some of the freshest I've ever had. The space itself is tiny, with counter service and the option to take your food to go or enjoy it on their small patio with a couple of picnic tables. Despite the size, the menu delivers big on flavor, and the portions are generous. They also offer convenient grab-and-go options. The price point is very reasonable, and the service was quick and genuinely friendly. I would absolutely recommend stopping here if you're in town.

Ahi
Mj A.

This place was on my checklist to try and we finally got to sample! We got the tako and the ahi and both were amazing! My kids even liked the poke and they barely eat anything raw. Service was efficient and the little store had so many options including things in the refrigerators. We tried coming back to bring home more poke but sadly they were closed. Until next time!

We ended up getting a piece of hula pie to share with the table instead. It was delicious as always, plenty to share among three people, and I love that it's served on its own special plate with special sporks that say hula pie on them. It was pretty sunny and hot that day and there are no umbrellas on the patio, so good thing I was wearing sunscreen or I'd fry. Service was prompt although as it got busier it got a little slower. Delicious for hula pie but if your heart is set on a drink in a pineapple, you cannot get it here.

We were also able to order online and the process was seamless. We have ordered the most expensive lobster roll, which I believe has 1/2 pounds of lobster. 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. Although the price is close to $80 for one lobster roll, the portion is huge. It can easily feed 2 adults. We enjoyed our experience overall but will opt for the smaller option next time haha

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.

Chat gpt recommended this place and I have to say the AI was right! The place is really fun. You can park downstairs and they valet Park you and they will stamp you for free parking. The atmosphere is a fun vibe. They had live music. It's a indoor outdoor place. One thing to note, they don't serve their lunch menu after 4:00 so we went there expecting burgers and they don't serve them. So we kind of stayed reluctantly. I ended up ordering the guava ribs and my wife got them too. Those had to be the best ribs I think I have ever had! They literally fall off the bone as you're trying to pick up the meat. One of the reasons we wanted to go here was we wanted the options of seafood but one of our adults doesn't like seafood and they said that they had all kinds of stuff, which they do. Our server Maka, was incredible. He brings us out a free appetizer and said that was from the chef. I don't know if it was the chef or him but I was impressed and it was good. It was some kind of little fried dumpling. It was awesome! One of the people in our party had thought he was not going to order something and I gave him one of my ribs and after he tasted it, suddenly he wanted some too. I grabbed Maka and asked him If he could get those ribs fast because the rest of us were already halfway through our meals. He got right on it and had that order in. The ribs came out just in time and everybody was happy. It ended up being one of the nicest meals that we had the whole week. We were here and it was a great way to end our vacation here in Hawaii.
