It looks to be family owned and the young boy who helped me was very courteous! The catfish was a bit salty but definitely seasoned well. The Cajun okra was tasty as well, not my top okra in Birmingham, but still very good. I wish those were fried a bit harder but I know for next time. The mild wings? DELICIOUS. They remind me of a place that closed down in my hometown. So good. The fruit punch was amazing as well. I'll definitely be back soon!

Hopefully, our first experience was just an off morning.

This was my first time at the Hoover location of Ono Poke, although I've been to the one at Pizitz…read moremany times. This Hoover location is convenient to I-459, but the shopping area it is located in seems to lack sufficient parking spaces for the volume of people who come to all the restaurants at peak hours. But at non-peak times, parking is not an issue. And this Ono Poke has a cute little outdoor seating area that will be nice when the weather cools down some. The interior is very trendy and modern, selfie-friendly. They do have high chairs, and changing tables in both rest rooms. The service is friendly, but sometimes the servers don't always know the details about what they're serving. My go-to is the spicy tuna poke, and I load up my bowl with a ton of toppings and finish it with wasabi aioli. I don't usually add a side dish as the poke bowl is very filling on its own. But this time, I decided to try the gyoza and the fries, since I was with friends who could share with me. The gyoza was pretty good, perfectly fried to a light and crispy texture, with a tasty chicken filling. I don't think the spicy mayo that it is served with actually complements the gyoza well, so I ordered ponzu sauce instead, which went nicely. The fries were well-cooked as well, but the furikake seasoning is just sprinkled on top so doesn't really add too much to the flavor. Now here, the spicy mayo was a good complement, but needed a higher ratio of sriracha sauce to mayo. My friends had never been to Ono Poke before, and they very much enjoyed their bowls. Everyone left full and happy.

This place is beautiful. It is located in the Stadium Trace shopping center between Alabama Goods and Grimaldi's. When you walk in, it gives a tropical vibe with the decor. You feel the relaxation wash over you. I went to the cashier and she asked for my name. My food was ready right on time, and I grabbed my bottle of Sprite from the front cooler before I headed back to work. I got back to the office and dug into the bowl. The flavor was bright and fresh. The creaminess of the avocado and that extra "crunch" texture helped to tie the flavors tighter together. Everything tasted really good. I will be back to this place soon to try some other bowl combinations. Keep being delicious, Ono Poke!!

Eugene's hot chicken is still tasty, and the no-heat chicken is good too, juicy and tender. The overall menu is much deeper, with more entree and side options than the other place, so even picky eaters can probably find something. It's not just chicken, but also fried pork chops and fish. The collard greens are my go-to side, but my husband likes the fries, while my kid likes the mac 'n cheese. For extra fun, go on Trivia Night (Mondays).
