Located in fisherman's ward. I wanted something with coconut and found this place that had…read morecoconut inspired fish dishes. I had never had coconut calamari, so I decided to have it. I ordered a side of fries with it and a glass of wine. The calamari just tasted like calamari for me. Very little hint of coconut. It was extremely greasy. The side of fries pretty good size and can be shared. I think if I would have gotten a different plate, I would have been satisfied as other people in my group had different fish dishes and were happy with them. You order at the counter and then they call out your name when it's ready. They have some seating. It is all outside, but shade is available.

Neat looking food shop at the fisherman wharf. Service was fine seating adequate. Food is alright…read more The Chowder With tofu was watery and microwaved ( I saw her microwave it), the avocado on my kids burger was sour, and the pulled kalula pork sandwich was good. Overall the experience was mediocre.

=== 1. VERDICT/VALUE Based on single takeout order around…read moredinner time: solid choice - it's like the other locations in town and decent (even if still not quite like it is back home in Hawaii :) === 2. FOOD There are a variety of options (and toppings - yikes!!) and in recent months, they have been trying to expand their menu to include hot items often seen in Hawaii. I typically only visit Ono Poke for the poke bowl itself and can report this location: - Has the same decent quality fish. - Still is obligated to give you way too many toppings (but to each their own). - Can customize your order (e.g. hapa rice, furikake on top, etc.). - Offers a portion size that is decent for the price in town. - (In fact, compared to other locations, they are less stingy here :) ) As usual, I'm all about the straight-up ahi, but some may like the yuzu-flavoured ahi (seen in the other pic). === 3. SERVICE Counter service for me - and it's great, friendly, and patient. === 4. ENVIRONMENT You could sit in and eat; the place has a darker motif, but is tucked away form the hustle and bustle of Uptown - but your group might be best to be 8 or less in number if you're wanting to sit together. Wheelchairs and baby strollers have no issue here. Parking is plentiful downstairs - park closer to the Best Buy side of the structure for closer access.

The Korean proprietors offer primarily sushi and few Korean options when looking for something a little different than the Western cuisine options nearby / down the road. And you won't be disappointed either - recommended for friends; I'm definitely returning when I can also! === 2. FOOD The bento box may be the best value on the menu. We happened to choose a number of items for takeout this evening: - California Roll ($6.50) - Haro Roll ($18.50) - Pork Gyoza ($7) - Maki Combo ($18) - Dynamite Combo ($18) - Salmon Sashimi ($15) - Chicken Udon ($13.99) - Kimbob Roll ($8.50) - Japchae The only thing I might think about before ordering again would be the udon: see my picture, so it wasn't bad but it was unusual how they did the soup and they put red peppers in there, which is unusual... === 3. SERVICE Service over the phone and in person were great in English; they staff speak to each other in Korean and I can only presume service would have been just fine for Korean-speaking patrons. The food was also prepared reasonably quick. === 4. ENVIRONMENT So it's plain white inside - a clean white. There is bar-style seating at the front window and a few small tables meant for groups of 2 or 4 inside. Wheelchairs and baby strollers should have no challenges fitting and the parking is as plentiful as it gets in the this relatively-new residential shopping complex.

Hubby had spicy tuna tempura roll and he loved it. I had the spicy tuna gogo roll. The tuna practically melted in your mouth. Don't sleep on the pickled ginger that comes with the rolls. Tastes homemade and fresh. I had the yuzu soda (na) and it also tasted homemade. Yum. Not to sweet, sparkly and refreshing. The last thing we ate was at our server's recommendation. A spicy fried tofu appetizer. It was incredibly but definitely not spicy. The tofu was so sweet and creamy inside, it seemed like a dessert in a savory sauce. It was so strange and delicious that I'm still thinking about it hours later. You really must try this place. We will return asap.

Yes. Amazing sushi, teriyaki and tempura with adorable, sweet servers and fast cooking…read more Came with my friend earlier this month. We shared assorted tempura, Hawaiian Roll, and Dynamite Roll. My friend had their chicken teriyaki. Loved the unique Hawaiian Roll, which included salmon, yogurt, cream cheese, mango, avocado, cucumber and coconut flakes on top. I hadn't seen this roll before, and while my friend was too chicken to try more than a small bite, I loved this. The tempura was done well! Sometimes when I get tempura elsewhere, the batter isn't cooked all the way through and/or there's too much batter. They made it perfectly here. Total with Diet Coke was $65.74 before tip. Small, cozy dining area with a view of the cooks. Would definitely return.
