Restaurant ReviewsFinding Ono Hawaiian Restaurants and Food in Honolulu
 Of all the Oahu restaurants, there is none more renowned yet unassuming as Ono Hawaiian Restaurant. It is know for its down home Hawaiian comfort food at a great price.  That is what has made Ono Hawaiian one of the best restaurants on Oahu for the past 40 years. Now, don"t confuse this Ko"olina restaurant with the mainland fast-food chain Ono Hawaiian BBQ. But what makes Ono Hawaiian different from other restaurants on Oahu is its fabulous, authentic, traditional Hawaiian food.
Ono Hawaiian Restaurant
This quirky, homespun restaurant has a modest dining room with a few cramped wooden booths and baseball caps lining the walls as decoration. Cramped and always busy, there are often people standing in line down the sidewalk, many with six-packs of beer, as Ono Hawaiian has no liquor license.
This gem of a restaurant at 726 Kapahulu Avenue in Honolulu (Phone:  808-737-2275 ) gets lots of tourist business, but has a strong and loyal local following as well. You will know that it has authentic Hawaiian food because the combo plates come with a small cup of raw onion and alaea salt. Jump right in and sample such regional delicacies as Kalua pig, butterfish or squid luau, salt meat watercress, lomi salmon, poi, beef stew, tripe stew, and more. Their combo plates, that include a nice mix of specialties, are a great value and allow you to sample a few different things.
