    Indoor seating
    Alexis A.

    Food: 4/5 Vibes: 4/5 Service: 4/5 I went here with my coworkers on our lunch break and was pleasantly surprised. It's a tasty lunch option that can get you in and out fairly quickly, especially if you only have an hour for lunch. Their pricing for bowls were standard to what I've seen at other poke places in Reno. They have an extensive drink and dessert collection! I loved the indoor seating with all the natural light the space offers! However, they only have indoor seating. The servers were quick and kind, no complaints there! I hope to come back and try more options!

    I was setting my expectations pretty low since this place is located very far from any ocean but it was sooo sooo good. The poke rivals any legit Hawaiian poke spot in Hawaii and the portions were good enough to feel a small family. I enjoyed all the proteins I chose and the toppings were all super good too. I enjoyed the mochiko chicken but probably not the best I have had. If ever in the area again, I will definitely be stopping by here again.

    Kids Garlic Chicken
    Sarah T.

    I was pleasantly surprised by my meal here, it was extremely delicious! I got the kids' size garlic chicken, which came with rice and mac salad. It was plenty of food for me and a great price. The staff is nice and joyous (you can even hear them singing in the back), and the music was bumping. It's a very casual restaurant with plenty of seating.

    Poke, who doesn't like Poke

    Poke, who doesn't enjoy a fresh Hawaiian Style poke bowl? I normally visit the Sparks location since it's closer to my home but this time, we wanted to sit outside and the tables aren't set up for the Sparks location yet. So here we are at the Reno Midtown location. The same owner, same supplier for their ingredients, so I'd expect no less a similar experience. And they did not disappoint! The fish, was smooth and not slimy or smelly. The toppings were fresh as well. Are there other places that have good poke? Sure, but you can't go wrong with Loco Ono.

    Great bowls and teriyaki. You order at the counter and add what you'd like to your bowl. Raw fish, crab salad, all the typical fixings. Not a fancy place but good , quick food. We enjoyed our food. It's in a little strip mall. Several tables inside.

    So damn good!! Ordered the loco moco n split with my man. I've never had spam before but they gave us some and it was fireEeee!! eggs were cooked perfectly hamburger meat patty was a little bit tough but the flavor was on point. Gravy was good not a true brown gravy but it was good.

    Build your own poke bowl with spicy ahi, salmon and scallops, sea weed salad, rice, crab salad (incredible), creamy miso and wasabi yuzu, cucumber, ginger and furikake. At least that's what I did. It was delicious. Fresh with so many options you can have something different each time. Service at the counter will help you make choices and maybe try something new. Plenty of tables inside and parking outside. Right off Virginia put it on your list.

    Plate lunch with Kali beef and garlic chicken
    Ryen R.

    A friend of mine recommended going here to give it a try and it did not disappoint. Nice inviting well kept dinning area. Walk up to the counter to order with the friendly staff. They have poke bowls/plates that have all the ingredients in front of you to choose from, that all looked delicious and fresh. Unfortunately, I did not try the poke as I was there for the plate lunch/dinner. It has your traditional 2 scoops of rice, mac salad, and a choice of variety of proteins. I went with kalbi beef which was really good and was a thick piece of meat unlike other places where it's really thin and fatty and I also had the garlic chicken which was super crunchy on the outside and tender on the inside. I can't decide which one I liked more since they were both really good and complemented each other perfectly. The mac salad was a little peppery but not overpowering and was still really good. I also had a spam masubi which was so good with the crunchy nori wrapped around spam, rice, and sauce with some furikake seasoning. The portions are a pretty good sized and I had every intention of on only eating half and taking the rest home but I couldn't stop there and ate it all. So good, I wish it was where I live.

    Mochiko fried chicken with white rice n mac, salmon bell taco and a poke bowl
    Roy M.

    Came back to Loco Ono and had to switch it up this time. I usually get their kalbi and garlic chicken with garlic rice (which is and still my favorite), but I decided to try the mochiko fried chicken. It was good, crispy and flavorful, but honestly I still prefer the garlic chicken way more. That one just hits different. Their poke was solid too, and they give a great serving size. Fresh, flavorful, and definitely worth ordering. I also tried the salmon belly taco and that was really good as well, nice balance and didn't feel too heavy. Overall, it's a solid spot for Hawaiian fast food in Reno. I'll definitely be back... probably for the garlic chicken and kalbi with garlic rice again

    This is secretly (or not so secretly) one of my favorite places to eat in town. I love the big flavors, friendly service and the fresh food they serve here, and it's a big bonus that it's also fast, casual and reasonably priced too. I almost always go for the two item mixed plate. My favorite is the Teri beef, but I've been dialing back beef and also love their Teri chicken, mochiko chicken, and so many of the other options too. You really can't go wrong with anything. One plate is almost enough for two meals in my world also, which makes this a real value. Their poke is also super delicious. Their sauces are excellent, toppings and fish super fresh, and overall, a fantastic poke option. But if you're not feeling a BYO Bowl, they'll also fix up a straight pound of that poke goodness in a few styles too! We usually add one of these to our order every time. The tacos are excellent. The saimin slurptastic. You seriously can't go wrong. And next time I'm craving a crispy and juicy fried chicken Sando, I'm coming here too!

    Honest take out review: 4/5 amazing flavors! Inconsistency with the oil and no katsu sauce! But that kalbi taco?!? Yes!!! Hear me out... had I gotten the katsu sauce. I think this would have been a 4.5, but the missing sauce allowed for the used oil to come through with the garlic chicken and katsu chicken... I'll drop my thoughts below, give them credit though... they have a "now hiring sign" on the window. Business's without the right support at times struggle with consistency so here's to hoping the notes below come through! Mixed plates: -Grilled teri beef and chicken: 4.5/5 Smokey, and large portions give this meat a strong rating with the dish as it's a delicious combination for the combination of cabbage, rice, and green onion. The sauce however was delicious but missing in the meal... it needed a little more sauce throughout the meal to be able to say that it had that 5/5 we're looking for! Otherwise! Rice cooked deliciously, and a good potato/mac salad! Katsu & garlic chicken: 2.5/5 2.5 is for the flavor as the garlic chicken has so much flavor!! The first bite I took had me wanting to come back for more! Mixed it with the rice and it was absolutely delicious! As I went in for more bites... I noticed that the chicken was over cooked due to the inner chicken being dry and while flavorful. Notes of old oil coming through strongly. For the katsu, we were missing the sauce so we were able to see that the breading was over fried as it was brown and had a strong flavor or burnt oil. Then as we went for more bites of the garlic chicken, the sauce masked a lot of the chicken which was crispy and over cooked. Giving this a 4/5 as the kalbi taco saves the experience! Delicious and just a combination of flavors that's goes so well together! It was jam packed with flavor and food. I would recommend eating it asap as the kimchi wets the tortilla making it harder to eat... but! Deliciousness!

    Build your own bowl

    Was in Reno for a work trip and my work team collectively decided on Loco Ono for a lunch delivery. If we're being honest I pushed the team in the direction of poké, and I'm so glad that I did. The food arrived pretty quickly for it being a rather large order, and we were all pleasantly surprised at the portions. Super generous! We all did a build-your-own situation and I was only able to eat half of it. I was trying to force myself to eat more but there was so much! My bowl had a base of white rice, topped with spicy tuna, crab salad, seaweed salad, edamame, cucumber, and spicy sauce. The tuna had a great kick to it and I actually liked that it was ground rather than cubed because it helped mix it all in. Spicy sauce had great flavor. Everything tasted super fresh and hit the spot for lunch! Was nice and refreshing while still being a great portion for a midday meal. I'm not local to Reno but if I was, I'd definitely frequent Loco Ono!

    I'm not sure what it is about Hawaiian food lately, but the last few times I came into Reno, my…read morefirst spot is to try a new one. I'm sad Aloha Shack closed, used to be a big fan. Maybe them closing is the reason, who knows. Anyways so far all 3 places have been better than the ones I go to in the bay area, at least on the peninsula. There is some good ones, but not exactly quick and easy as Hawaiian bbq should be. Walked in at lunch time. Decent amount of people there around that time. I liked that they had outdoor benches, cool looking inside with the food truck decor and window to look into the kitchen. Staff greeted me quickly and was friendly. I'm far from a picky eater and when trying new places, i like to let the staff steer the ship. They most likely have tried the whole menu, have their favorites, and if I don't like it, it's probably not worth going back to try anything else. Good looking plate. First thing I noticed eating it, this felt a lot cleaner than most Hawaiian BBQ places. It's not caked in sauce or wasn't swimming on a marinade for days. It was seasoned nicely, was tender, and not going to be a sodium bomb. I usually see most places give more white rice (2 scoops), but probably a good thing they didn't, because I would have ate it and been overly stuffed. Mac salad was balanced, light, nice palette cleanser. That said, Mac salad on its own isn't something that would be able to stand alone. Better than L&L, but that isn't saying much. Back to the service. They came to check on me, see how I was enjoying the food, and also recommended I try the hot sauce thets made in house. That was a nice change from the siracha that is everywhere. Not very spicy, but has a kick and paired well with the plate. I'll be back, but I'm sure I'll try something new. Most likely the tacos. I was tempted to get it this trip, but knew it would put me into a food coma.

    My wife and daughter contacted Joe at Kenji's and spoke to him in regard to providing his catering…read moreservice for our son's Celebration of Life reception. Joe was wonderful and agreed to take on the task of providing the food for 60-80 friends and family members. I had a good friend pick up 7 large trays of food which included BBQ chicken, rice, spam fried rice, Mac salad, green salad mix (with wontons and dressing on the side) and potstickers. The food was ready on time and was able to be set up right before the reception began. The food was amazing and several attendees had never heard of or had Kenji's. The spam fried rice was the big hit and almost all of it was eaten. Several attendees were impressed with the quality and flavor of the food. Thanks to Kenji's the reception was very good given the circumstances, it definitely turned out better than the port of subs we had discussed prior to talking to Joe.
