Yes, what everyone else said. The most awesome local food on Oahu. It's kinda pricey but you get a lot so share and be happy. Gets pretty crowded at lunchtime.

We can't add much to earlier reviews - this place is "ONO" to the Nth degree! The lau lau is the largest and best-tasting on Earth. Kahlua pork and other dishes are excellent. Any questions, don't…

As someone mentioned in another review, "Ono's" is all about REAL, local eats. The helpful staff will make suggestions if you ask, so ask! The atmosphere is casual and friendly, and very home-like.…

The stars are certainly not for ambiance - this tiny place on Kapahulu doesn't have a view - but I think it serves the best Hawaiian food anywhere - and in ample proportions For the past 30 years, it…
