My husband always gets the Lau Lau - when we go to Hawaii he always has to get plate lunch, this fits the bill and then some. Chicken katsu is awesome - really tasty, great crunchy outside. The sauce is a bit sweeter than I like it, but I generally just eat it without. I have done both the mixed BBQ chicken and beef - and then I also have done them as single option, always delicious. Again, great portion size. And I get it with broccoli, which is just steamed and super fresh tasting, absolutely love it. We love the appetizers - spring rolls and gyoza - so you get a little bit of everything here. Gyoza appetizer size is so generous - 10 usually? Hubby also gets sesame balls, not my jam, but he loves them! Actually if they had jam, I might like em, ha! I think they are meant to purposely not be too sweet, which they meet that requirement.

Been coming here for prob 20 yrs now so I think I owe this place a review. Prob my go-to dish here…read moreis the Loco Moco. I like it for a number of reasons 1. The patties here are cooked really well. Prob the only place better is on the islands. It can be a bit salty sometimes so ask them to go easy on the salt. 2. Part of what makes this dish is the gravy and their brown gravy is nearly perfect. It's not gloopy and has a great taste. 3. Eggs over easy and not overly cooked All this served super hot and price is very reasonable! I also like their Kalbi here which is also done right. Depending on the day/time the service may be a bit slow but remember everyone's on Hawaiian time. What do you expect?

We got the loco moco, edamame, an avocado (poke) salad, fried rice, and Portuguese sausage, almost…read more$90 worth of food, and couldn't finish any of it. Something felt off across the board. The loco moco patty had a sour, tangy taste that a basic hamburger patty just shouldn't have. The fried rice was missing that "wok hei" char and smokiness good fried rice needs; it just tasted flat. The Portuguese sausage was rubbery and unappetizing. Even the poke salad had a strange tang to it. Nothing tasted freshly made besides the edamame and avocado salad, and honestly it didn't feel safe to keep eating. I don't say this lightly. Hawaiian food is my favorite cuisine, and I always want to support local and small businesses. But this time almost $100 of food ended up in the trash. Really disappointing. Ay freaking nako.

We've yet to get stringy fish cuts or smelly seafood. Bonus points for offering black rice as an upgrade. The sides are also reliably good and the portion sizes are filling. Customer service isn't the warmest but they're efficient so even on the days when the line is out the door onto the sidewalk, we get in and out quickly. The salt and vinegar chicken comes out piping hot. Recommended for those who like to douse their fish and chips in malt vinegar or enjoy a bag of salt and vinegar chips. Butter mochi is a nice add-on if you want to make one trip for an entree and dessert. Otherwise if we have the time, we cross the street to Pau Hana Shave Ice after our Aloha Fresh run. Easy meal planning on hot summer days!

I'd go at least twice a month for lunch since it wasn't too far from my school. They marinate the fish and it is always so flavorful. I always get the Poke Lover with the crab salad and pickled onions. For the fish, I've tried Kakui Nut Ahi, Hawaiian Ahi, Spicy Salmon, and Kalbi Ahi. I liked all of them except for the Kalbi Ahi. The marinade is really similar to what they would use in KBBQ, and it was really confusing to eat. Workers are always super friendly and can get the line moving quickly. Never had a bad experience with them. Unfortunately there's no indoor seating, so you'll need to take it to-go.

As soon as I walked in, I was greeted by that very familiar Hawaiian food smell. The location was very clean, and the workers were friendly. I placed my order and sat down. The place was pretty busy, but most of the orders seemed to be for pickup and to-go. Unfortunately, we still had to keep driving before eating our food, so by the time we got home, my seafood mix was not as crunchy as I would have liked. However, that was 1000% my fault and not theirs. The flavors of everything were great, and overall, I would definitely come back if I was ever back in the area.

Final Thoughts: 4.33/5…read more They were our caterer for a work party. This is a food truck and they seem to have everything ready to be served to us. Asian fusion foods are typically my go-to choice and so I was very excited that they were providing us food today. Food: Garlic Fried Chicken Bowl: 4.3/5 The sauce on this is divine with the chicken. It's like an unagi sauce with garlic in it. It has some saltiness, sweetness, and that umami flavor. Garlic taste and scent is present, but not too overpowering, which I really enjoyed. That flavor is great, but some places really overdo it for me. Just a personal preference though. For the chicken itself, it's very tender and juicy on the inside and still has some of that nice crunch on the outside. Perhaps this is because the cut of meat is the chicken thigh. It's not super crispy because I don't believe this is being fried to order for us. Seems to be food held in a warmer until its ordered. Kimchi was the side that they had provided with this dish and I am here for that. Some people aren't the biggest fan of this and I saw that from the looks my coworkers gave it. Personally, very much enjoyed it though. That sourness and spice from the kimchi just balances out this bowl really well. The veggies are nice and crispy. Gives it that freshness. Also, very slight detail and addition, but I always enjoy the sesame seeds and furikake sprinkle as a garnish. There's a nice nuttiness to it that they provide as a simple garnish. Spicy Tuna Poké: 4.0/5 This item was alright. The flavor was also really good, but I did get tired of eating just one type of poke protein. Typically when I go to get poke, it's 2 to 3 scoops of different proteins with various sauces to change up the flavor. I did get tired of this one after a few bites. The flavor of this item was very good though. There's a nice kick from it and the flavor tastes like a mix of kewpie mayo, soy sauce, sriracha, and sugar. Very simple, but you can't go wrong with those flavors. For the side, they added seaweed salad. Again, not your average side dish. Personally, I enjoyed it, but it might not be a common or familiar side dish for other individuals. It has a nice sweetness and nuttiness to it. For texture, there's a nice bite to it, which is ncie since the tuna is very soft and doesn't contribute much to the texture component. Menu: Small Their menu seems quite limited, but again, that is normal for a food truck, I believe. The items they provide do it just fine for me. I appreciate that they also have an option for the vegetarians. The menu we were provided was limited to 4 items, which is fine since the scale of this party wasn't anything too wild and we were able to satisfy everyone with what they provided. --------- Quality: Alright The quality of the food seems OK. It came out within a few minutes for us and I don't think it takes just a few minutes to fry that piece of chicken. I could be wrong though, so no one quote me on that. Just an observation. Not the highest expectations because their limited to the space and area in general. The product they provide is very good though. Overall, for something that has raw seafood in it, it seemed quite fresh and tasty. The items aren't made to order either and it's more assemble and serve to order, but again, they seem to be making it work with the product that they are selling. Price: Estimated Because this was a catering event, I am actually unaware of how much my administrator paid for the food. What I know is that she paid for a certain amount of bowls. From the looks of this item though, I want to estimate the price of each bowl being around $16 to $20 depending on the food item provided. Seems quite average for a bowl of food these days. Service: Quick and fast Because most of the food is already prepared and ready, the interaction with them itself is very limited. They took our order and provided us with the food. Nothing too significant to note and that is to be expected with the food truck. They were very sweet though and explained the menu items to be when I had a question. Ambiance: Simple and cute food truck The design on their food truck is so cute. The riceball is my favorite because it has this very cute face and just looks darling to me. The outside has a simple design with the name and logo on top and then perhaps some of the food items they provide written on the bottom section of the truck. Doesn't seem like anything too fancy, but simplicity is best for me. Location/Parking: Wherever they travel and navigate to Because they're a food truck, they can drive to you, which is really convenient. On Yelp, it states that their located on 36 Commercial Street in downtown, which might be where their truck is serving most of the time. Again, it is a food truck though, so they have the ability to drive to you and travel around to their customers, which is quite convenient is reaching a broader group of people.

We definitely take advantage of their mailer and online coupon offers. Our go-to is the chicken katsu with Mac salad and rice. They have changed their salad recently which is a good thing.

We received a coupon from Ono Hawaiian BBQ for a BOGO Aloha Plate promotion, so we were excited to…read moregive it a try. There are several Aloha Plates to choose from, although many of the options require a small upcharge. You can choose either a 1-item or 2-item plate, and we went with the BOGO 2-item plates. For our first plate, we ordered the Chicken Katsu (no additional charge) and the Crispy Shrimp (an extra $0.50). For the second plate, we got another Chicken Katsu with the Beef (also an extra $0.50). One thing I really liked is the self-serve sauce station. They have katsu sauce that you can pump into small containers, along with teriyaki sauce and several additional sauce packets, so it's easy to customize your meal. The Chicken Katsu was crispy and tasty, but the Crispy Shrimp only came with three pieces, and the beef was just okay. The portions are also a bit smaller compared to Olioli Hawaiian BBQ, although the prices are noticeably lower. My biggest disappointment was that the plates come with a green salad instead of macaroni salad. For me, macaroni salad is part of what makes a Hawaiian plate feel complete, so I really wish that were included instead. Overall, it's a good value, especially if you have one of their coupons. I still prefer Olioli Hawaiian BBQ for the larger portions and more traditional Hawaiian plate experience, but Ono Hawaiian BBQ is definitely worth trying when there's a BOGO deal.

The line to order took 10 minutes and the wait for food took 18 minutes. We ordered 2 plates of BBQ and Katsu Mix, 2 spam musubi, and crab rangoons. The entrees were delicious with the juicy BBQ and crunchy chicken katsu. I loved how the protein tasted well with the macaroni salad and veggies. The portion was large and there was a lot of rice, so I needed to to-go it. The spam musubi was very flavorful and satisfying, although it was heavy on the rice. The crab rangoons were creamy, so I ate it with salad and some rice. To conclude, I would come here to eat again because I loved the taste of the food. I would recommend this spot to foodies looking for a Hawaiian BBQ quick-service spot.

Made a reservation and the phone answerer kindly made an exception for us (normally it's just for 7 people, but we were a party of 5). (Please don't bust her for that nor expect that for your party! It just made my mom's 80-something birthday that much more special!) That started the chain of great service and the amazing day we were to have ahead! We ordered a variety of dishes - Shaka Chicken, Saimin, Chicken Katsu Bowl, Mahi Mahi Tacos, and Mixed Plate. All were delicious! The icing on top was when we told the sweet hostess that it was my mom's birthday, and she said to definitely tell our server! After our yummy lunch, we were given a complimentary order of malasadas (yum!) and then Mom got a special ice cream cup with a huge sparkler candle and the entire restaurant sang to her! But wait, there's more! Noelani's was celebrating their 13th anniversary today, so we got free live musical entertainment (normally it's only on Friday and Saturday nights) by the talented Rick Rasay. Who then proceeded to serenade Mom by changing the words to one of the songs he sang! She felt so special! AND finally, as part of their 13th anniversary, Noelani's was giving out coupons to their paying customers for free shave ice from Paradise Shave Ice who put a pop-up outside their restaurant. So yummy! And they were so super nice too - will definitely keep them in mind for any shave ice catering needs! We don't visit this restaurant as we're down in the South Bay, but we definitely plan to visit them more often! Thanks for making my mom's day so wonderful! This was an especially bittersweet birthday, as it was the first one without my dad, but somehow I think he was smiling down at us and blessing us today!
