    I was way overcharged for the food. Their menu says noodles are $6.50, the girl charged me $12. She was so distracted by her boyfriend being there, when I walked in she was sitting with him, and kept going back and forth to him the entire time, my shrimp was ice cold. It was as if it was frozen shrimp, and they didn't heat it up on the grill long enough. The shrimp tasted so fishy. Their "salad" had a few drizzles of sauce, and the rest was so dry. The rice was sitting out on the counter with the lid open the entire time. The rice was mushy, watery, and fishy from the shrimp. It was such an unpleasant experience. I will not be returning here. $52 for one person to eat, and the food was unbearable to the point of throwing it away. The steak was the only reason they even get 2 stars, it was cooked seasoned well. The restaurant was very dirty. The floors needed swept and mopped, the counters needed wiped off, and the door needs cleaned. Overall, so disappointing.

    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.

    12oz steak with shrimp.   Very disappointing.

    09-05-26 @ 6 pm. First time and won't be coming back. Ordered 12 oz steak & shrimp. Steak not medium rare like how I ordered. Steak had a somewhat mushy texture. They had no salad or other side options to offer. Just rice that was hard. Definitely NOT an Ono experience. Very very disappointing for a $25 plate.

    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!

    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

    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.

    $18 steak and shrimp plate with all rice. I don't eat rabbit food.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Visit September 2026:…read more What's Pidgin for OMG???? Because O...M...freaking...Geeeeeeeeee. Every trip to Hawai'i I look forward to upsetting my doc back at the mainland by gorging on some ono local grinds. Boy is he going to be angry. Give me a Chee Hoo for some Fried Butterfish Collar! How they are able to fry this fish without drying it out, allowing juices to just ooze out after breaking through the crisp exterior is mind bending. They know it's good bc when I excitedly ordered a second serving the waitress gave me a knowing wink. This is my new "last bite." Kalbi. Juicy. Well seasoned. Some of the best I've had. You know it's a popular dish when bc when I looked inside the kitchen you just see rows upon rows of ribs hanging ready to be pulled down and thrown on the grill. Lau lau-pork and butterfish steamed in ti leaves, a Hawaiian comfort food. The main reason for this trip was to bring my Mom back to her hometown in Ewa. She commented that she has not found a lau lau to her liking in San Diego so when this was brought to her and she went completely silent and smiling eating it up you know it's good lol. I was very happy Helena's take brought her joy. Kalua pork and cabbage. I can't attest to it bc it was being hoarded on the other side of the table and I was just happy with the butterfish and kalbi as is lol. Poke-Bruh, it's Hawai'i. Haupia-oh goodness. This was the perfect way to finish off the meal. The traditional coconut pudding was refreshing without being overbearingly sweet. Looks like Jello blocks but firm enough to pick up by hand. Outstanding. Service was ridiculously friendly and epitomized the Aloha spirit. This place is a foodies dream stop, serving locals and tourists alike since 1946. This place is a freaking institution!

After that I usually get a LAULAU, FISH WITH OPIHI, an order of HAUPIA, and extra RAW ONIONS & HAWAIIAN SALT. When I am in the mood for TRIPE STEW this is one of my go to spots.

Our server was very helpful and even brought out a pamphlet explaining each dish. After reading it over, the three of us decided to each try one of the signature Hawaiian combo plates. LAU LAU COMBO (PORK) - 22.99 + poi + lomi salmon The set came out in cafeteria-style trays, almost like a grade school lunch. Our server recommended eating the main entree and lomi salmon with poi, a fermented taro paste. Judging by how it looked, I thoroughly expected the poi to be sweet, but it was actually much more sour, almost like yogurt. I didn't enjoy it too much on its own, but it worked incredibly well with the pork lau lau. The pork was mostly tender and juicy, with a fragrant, leafy steamed flavor that reminded me of the Chinese zong zi my mom makes. The leaner parts of the pork were a bit dry, but the steamed taro leaves helped. The lomi salmon (salted salmon mixed with onions and tomatoes) was refreshing, although the pungent raw onions were a bit much for me. The 'uala (steamed sweet potatoes) had a natural, earthy sweetness that we all enjoyed. Lastly, the haupia (coconut pudding) was incredibly tasty, with a strong coconut flavor that made me sad when I took my last bite. One of my friends got the chicken lau lau, which we actually enjoyed even more. The chicken was delicious, and there was so much of it. Overall, we enjoyed getting to try some authentic Hawaiian dishes at Highway Inn, especially our server and the pamphlet gave us a better understanding of what we were eating.

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. We appreciate the experience and the hospitality, but the flavors just didn't quite match our personal preferences.
