    Steak & Shrimp plate with friend Seimen noodles!
    Allister D.

    I thought this was a remodel and new location from the original Ono Steak & Shrimp shack in Waimanalo but it's not.. sadly. Me and my wife had a nice experience here. We ordered two plates of the shrimp and steak and a plate of seimen fried noodles with garlic butter. The steak and shrimp plate was really simple and didn't have much flavor. The steak bites were a bit too small and the shrimp wasn't coated with garlic butter or anything; just plain and slightly cooked. I was hoping they'd serve the plates with Mac salad instead of the salad but they don't. The noodles were way too salty. The diced bbq pork was also salty. You definitely need a large beverage with the meal to stay hydrated. Please note, it's $1 for a refill as well. I know this place is booming with plenty of regulars which is great but for me and my wife, we prefer a different style of steak and shrimp. This wasn't it but that's ok! I do want people to try this place out! I know there will be lots that will love it.

    First timer, and I absolutely am in love with this place. Da Aunteh cashier was super patient while we figured out what to get. So much aloha from the staff. My bf got the opakapaka fish plate with steak. Everything was sooooo ONO! Will be back very soon.

    Lunch in Kalihi, Honolulu, Hawai'i... Ono Steak & Shrimp popped up on my Yelp feed a few times, so I decided to give it a try. It opened about a month ago. This is the third location for Ono Steak & Shrimp. The first two shops are in Kapolei and Waipahu. Located on Waiakamilo Road, this site used to house a popular old school eatery - before they decided to retire. The current cashier said that this business Ono Steak & Shrimp) is here to stay! She was very friendly and welcoming! The young man was also very kind! I asked where to sit... for the coolest spot... they pointed to the back table... LOL! Thanks! The interior looks modern, clean and bright! It's very spacious with many tables and chairs for dining in. I'm thinking about bringing a group here... because the prices are reasonable and the portions are generous! I got the 4 ounce Steak with shrimp. I was so happy when I opened the container and found that the Steak was cut up for me! That makes it VERY convenient! The meat was tender and well-seasoned! The shrimp had a creamy, buttery garlic sauce - rich and yummy! The rice and green salad (with thousand island dressing) were nice sides. I'm looking forward to returning and trying the noodles and the salmon! I should just go down the menu and taste everything!

    First time here. We came after bowling and wanted to eat steak. I got the steak and shrimp. The steak was very tender and delicious. The shrimp was succulent with garlic. Can't go wrong for only $18. Great friendly service. Give them a try. You'll be glad you did.

    Now open on waiakamilo Rd!!! I ordered their steak & shrimp plate with half rice & half noodles. The noodles is super good. The shrimp has a good buttery taste and the steak is soft and buttery too. They cut it like steak bites. A little on the salty side but still good. They pack the plate for $25. The workers are super friendly. They have a dine in area to enjoy your food. Plenty of parking right outside of the restaurant. They do close at 7pm so get your dinner before then!

    I've been to their location in Kapolei - their original - they have another one (2) in Waipahu. Today, Friday.12.September.2025 is their grand opening. Well, I don't like seafood but chicken and steak is fine by me. I requested Steak & Chicken Plate, which comes with salad greens...I chose Italian dressing...also, requested medium for my steak. Got the BBQ sauce foe the chicken. I didn't get medium but ( I forgot ) they cut the steak into bite-size pieces and it was soft and well-seasoned...right amount of salt and pepper. Chicken was okay. BBQ sauce was a bit sweet and tangy...different from what I am used to and prefer. So, y'all can't expect the Deep South trifecta of barbecue sauce: sweet, tangy, and spicy. Price was decent...had takeout. Five dedicated parking stalls are in front of Ono Strak & Shrimp

    Really good -- consistently on point. The steak stays tender and flavorful every time, and the garlic shrimp is an absolute must‑have on the plate .

    I visited recently and unfortunately had a frustrating experience regarding both the billing and the food quality. ​First, there was a discrepancy in pricing. The menu clearly stated a price of $22 for my meal, but I was charged $24 on the final bill. I recommend checking your receipts here to ensure the menu prices are being honored. ​Regarding the meal, i ordered the steak and the salmon. Unfortunately, both dishes were so heavily salted that they were unpleasant to eat. I was looking forward to the meal, but the seasoning completely overwhelmed the natural flavors of the fish and meat. ​I hope the management can look into the pricing consistency and the kitchen's seasoning levels, as we'd love to see these issues resolved.

    Steak Plate

    Sign seemed like food was good food, took longer than needed because rare chop steak were cooked well done. Seemed steamed on flat top grill; meat, fat and seasonings were mushy. Why would you steam already sliced meat if didnʻt ask for well done?! Especially if asked for RARE, or in general. Inaccurate order, 12 ounce steak plate asked for all salad, recieved rice. Ono steak shouldnʻt be in their name.. Sorry, but cook needs to be taught how to cook.

    The nice refurbished counter.

    Yummy steak and shrimp plate. The steak is done perfectly and is served on the rice. So all the oils and yumminess drips on the rice. My wife likes the buttery shrimp.

    SO GOOD!! I ordered the steak and chicken plate with one scoop of rice and mixed greens with Italian dressing and everything was absolutely amazing! Overall service and ambience was also great. Highly recommend.

    3rd time eating in here in the last few months. Always got steak n salmon. Always good but tonight different. Cuz first time paying for 1oz extra steak. ($2.50) Never look any different from the other plate we ordered...which was 8oz steak w/shrimp. Wish they had one way for tell if they added the extra steak. I would suggest placing it in like one small paper sample try so we know or even dakine add one flag "1oz". Instead of just throwing em in. Cuz how we suppose to know. I mean I went ask aunty if was added in but still yet. That way we no feel like we just got reeeeeeeeeped. Cause I think so I just got reeeeeep'd. $46 for 2 plates....next stop zippys.

And we just can't go here anymore unless changes are made! We used to prefer them over Zippy's, but now they are less than 7-Eleven quality, while charging higher-end prices for the neighborhood. We have given them many chances, hoping it was just a fluke, but we have repeatedly been disappointed. Their chicken has become chewy and fatty, their rice is mediocre, and condiments such as mayonnaise are stripped down to the bare minimum quantity. Chile is poured so lightly that it is practically a minuscule amount. And their prices have continued to rise. I don't know if greedy people took over the restaurant who just don't care anymore, or what is going on. I remember when I used to take people here, and they would be impressed with the quality and quantity--plates just heaping with good cuts of meat, noodles, and rice. Those days are no more. As they say in Japan, the price performance is poor. Furthermore, their staff is rude. I can only imagine it was an owner working this day because it was a face I haven't seen that often. An older gentleman who appeared to be of Okinawan descent, working the cashier register, accosted us because I was privately discussing with my family about splitting different items with them. We were all ordering something, so he wasn't losing any money, but he told us about how prices are double in Waikīkī. First of all, it is rude to interrupt your customers that way. Secondly, we don't go to Waikīkī or care about Waikīkī. What happened to serving the locals? Third, Waikīkī has an assortment of restaurants, prices, and qualities, and they shouldn't be how you base your services. Lastly, I guarantee I could find a better deal in Waikīkī if I wanted to. Next time you're in the area, just go get a $6 bento or a $5 burrito from 7-Eleven next door. I assure you, the price performance and experience will be better. If Rainbow Drive-In is in the business of comparing themselves to other things, let's compare them to 7-Eleven and at least try to be better than them, right? I can get mochiko chicken from 7-Eleven for $6.99 that is similar in portion size and better quality. Meanwhile, they are serving their fatty, dry chicken for $16.75. Highway robbery! And they are not fancy, with their dirty picnic tables and plastic cutlery. They are just a step above a food truck, if that. Save yourself from the hype. They have gone downhill like a landslide. Go elsewhere.

The staff was super nice about it and was able to accommodate us, with only a small request that we be out by 8pm since there was another big party with a reservation coming in. Absolutely reasonable. They sat us right away at three large tables, which gave us plenty of space for food and didn't force us to sit super close together. Menus, waters, plates, napkins, and forks were all brought out immediately, and our waiter was quick to take our order. We started with the prix fixe menu for 8-10 guests and were going to add other items à la carte, but a handful of our group accidentally went to the other Side Street location (make sure your group is all on the same page), so what we ordered ended up being more than enough. We left stuffed and with 5 boxes of food still. Edamame was nice and steamy, and large enough to easily pop the beans out with your mouth. Wish there was a bit more salt though. The farmer's salad had everything going on from citrusy to salty to crispy. Avocado had a little bit of oxidation but the capers, dressing and potato curls provided plenty of reasons to overlook it. The fried rice came in a hefty portion, with sizable pieces of bacon and sausage. The chicken I didn't realize was boneless based on the shape of the deep fry, but it was nice to freely bite into it without worrying about hitting anything with my teeth. Probably a bit too much on fried bits but still good. Pork chops had a better meat to crisp ratio in my opinion, as well as juiciness. They even came with ketchup on the side, which I love as a pairing but don't see much of at restaurants. My favorite meat item was definitely the sizzling boneless kalbi. The presentation on the sizzling plate with a side of kimchi was spectacular, and the meat was full of flavor. We also ordered yakisoba, which wasn't part of the prix fixe. Tasted good but nothing past standard expectations. We let the waiter know we had a 30th birthday at the table, and they brought a couple scoops of vanilla ice cream with a candle, and did a decent job getting the whole room to participate in the singing. It could also be the type of crowd this place attracts, since it seemed that everyone was so friendly and approachable. Thanks to the quick and consistent service, we were out in a little over an hour with no complaints.

Overall, it was a good experience trying Hawaiian food, but it's just not really our type of cuisine. The laulau was quite dry, and the preparation felt more like meat that had been boiled or cooked in liquid, which isn't something I usually enjoy. The lechon kawali had a crispy pork belly texture, topped with something similar to a salsa, but it didn't suit our taste either. Unfortunately, the cabbage served with it also had some black spots, which was off-putting. The BBQ short ribs were the highlight of the meal and the dish we enjoyed the most.
