    The combo plate with pulled Hawaiian Pork, BBQ sauce with secret ingredients & shrimp.  Macaroni & rice, island style.
    Grace S.

    Authentic Hawaiian Cuisine, oh my! What a difference new flavors can make in your flavor palette. Truly delicious new colors for our tastebuds. Ono Hawaiian Plates opened for the first time on May 19, which is a Tuesday, in 2026. I believe that I am the first to review and this combo plate is both delicious and filling for two people! We each had a cocktail as well and it was pleasantly and delightfully surprisingly deliciously plated food. The BBQ sauce is an original! The owners that are Jessie and Warren are right there at the front door opening and taking orders and getting them into the cooking queue and warmly inviting while getting the hang of it all, simultaneously. The food was served swiftly and on their first day they were still getting used to the new space which has lots of sunlight coming in. They also have Patio seating for warm days with Hawaiian themed grass umbrellas. Billy, the bartender did passionate work & you can tell everyone wants to be there that's on staff. The cocktails with the combo meal is well matched. Because I don't drink cocktails very often and I was hoping to have a warm beverage because the weather was quite cool outside on the 19th of May (opening day) and they did not have hot coffee or hot tea or decaf coffee and I don't like to drink soda or diet soda I tend to be a health nut; so I think that it would be a great idea if they could add at least more options for both hot beverages and possibly more health-conscious beverage options. Of course, we can always have a tall glass of water as water is life and I appreciate that; however, as a restaurant, I think it's a meaningful change to make make hot beverages available. The cocktail was a happy compromise, just this once. Next time I might get water or maybe they'll have tea! Hibiscus? If you come alone or with a friend or with family, the vibe is celebratory not just for your tastebuds and stomach, but for your spirit, too. I wouldn't doubt if this place becomes many folk's top 10 favorite in the twin cities if they keep the quality of the offerings on par with what we were given. Mid-range reasonable prices, totally fair & appropriate for frequenting. We had a good time & felt allot of pride in the whole staff that did feel like a bunch of loyal friends and family in the restaurant business hanging in together for a great life!

    I LOVE Ono Hawaiian plates! They serving sizes are large with fantastic flavor. The vibes are also so fun, a great spot in north loop.

We love their Caribbean/Hawaiian flare,…read moreand have been craving their tacos since we saw them in January at Omni Brewing in Maple Grove. Pictured - Chicken Tacos: this is where the spice is found. If you are weak when it comes to spice, have a beverage ready Pork Tacos: savory meets sweet with a hint of pineapple. Cuban Quesadilla: a unique play on the traditional Cuban sandwich. Although we love their tacos, it is not the only food they serve. They rotate their menu, but there are crab cakes, sandwiches, and other tacos! Keep an eye out for their food truck or check out their website for their list of events. You won't be disappointed.

As evidenced by the name, Tiki Tim's focuses mainly on island inspired cuisine (save for the fried pickles). Their menu is fairly modest in size, comprised of Tiki (shrimp and crab) cakes, fish tacos, a Hawaiian influenced pulled pork sandwich and a smattering of side dishes. While the choices are limited, they've all been quite good. The fish tacos are the highlight for me, with generous pieces of crispy and not-too-greasy fish, but you really can't wrong with anything (bring a knife and fork for the pork sandwich). The converted big blue Chevy is easy to spot on the streets, the service is friendly and the prices are reasonable. Given that we're about as far from the coasts as possible and a long haul from Hawaii, it's nice to see someone aspiring to bring the tropical mindset to the streets of the Twin Cities.

The space is bright and sunny and I don't think there's a bad spot in the house. Service has always been attentive and most importantly, I've literally never had anything that wasn't delicious. This time, we ordered the coconut shrimp to start. They were so crisp and juicy and large. This is something that we get many places because it's my husband's favorite and we both agreed this was our favorite coconut shrimp so far in the Twin Cities. I got the Asian slaw salad with Aji tuna. I've had this before, it is so good especially the shoyu dressing. It sounds boring to come here and get a salad, but it's just delicious especially with the crunchy macadamia nuts. My husband got the loco Moco with short rib and loved it. We got fries on the side. The kabayaki aioli was so unexpected and good! The fries were hot, salty and crisp. Solid fries on their own. We also asked to try the ghost pepper aioli, which was fab and not too hot.

The drink menu also matches these elements and is a home run, even if a bit off-kilter from your standard fare.

    I haven't dined in at Ono Hawaiian Plates so I can't speak for the service or ambiance, but I can…read morespeak for the food. I ordered the Hawaiian BBQ Chicken and Kalua Pork plate. It came with a side of Guava BBQ sauce and a side of the Island Teriyaki sauce. I ordered an extra side of Teriyaki and a side of the Soy Honey Mustard. Even after traveling for a delivery from Minneapolis to St. Paul, the plate was still hot and packaged well. The chicken is to die for, and the pork is very good too. I preferred both proteins with the Guava BBQ sauce, so I'd probably order extra of that one next time. The teriyaki was great as well. The soy honey mustard was also good, but had strong hints of horseradish in it. I like horseradish, but I don't think this sauce is for everyone. The Mac salad was delicious. Tasted homemade in a good way. 5/5 would get this again!

    Where is the option to give this place 6 stars!? Holy moly! My boyfriend used to live in Hawaii and…read moreI have been to Hawaii. We are both here to tell you, this place is legit! This location is inside united noodle (an Asian grocery store). There is plenty of free parking. The service here was fast and friendly. This place actually has Pepsi zero! I feel like you normally get regular and diet! Being inside this grocery store is its own vibe. There are picnic tables, chill music and a large picture of Oahu. Some of the picnic tables are breaking and wood tables would probably hold up better! The food: if you don't get the Kahlúa pork, you are doing yourself a disservice. It comes with a guava barbecue sauce, which I put on my rice. The meat is perfect on its own! I also got the garlic shrimp, which was absolutely perfection! I don't like macaroni salad, but my boyfriend said his was very good and spot on to what he had in Hawaii. My boyfriend said his chicken was very good. If you haven't tried this place, you are absolutely missing out!!

    Took a little pause but we're back at it!…read more Spring vibes in the air, wanting something fresh and healthy but not a salad and also feels like a treat.... No better answer than going to Woodbury's @alohapokeco Obviously there are plenty of places to grab a poke bowl but this one is just my go to when I want one. I usually grab and go with this dish while running errands and it always hits the spot. My go to love it thing: Crunch Bowl with marinated tuna and I change the base sometimes but enjoy a simple white rice to give a sushi vibe. (no jalapeño for me) They have options for different bowls, sizes, bases customization and non raw meats too.

I ordered a Big Crunchy poke bowl and the first couple of bites were great -- but under tall the sauce and crunch there were only like 5 cubes of ahi tuna... so I felt disappointed like I paid $14 for a bowl of rice and edamame beans. I would have complained while I was there and asked for it to be remedied, but the employee was on their phone and wearing headphones and I didn't have time. As others have noted, the tables feel sticky, but looked clean -- the tackiness almost seemed like it was the table top material vs unclean, but still it threw me off at first, too. I'm hoping my tiny portion of Ahi Tuna was a fluke and not the norm -- if it is the norm, I cannot recommend.

Note, I usually get it "less sweet" from Sencha, and I really like that at Pa, you can specify the actual percentage of sugar. I ordered mine at 25% and thought it was perfect (a little sweeter than a normal latte, if you are trying to gauge what percentage to order). We got the salmon lover bowl and the , as well as the squid salad. The bowls were good, but I am definitely glad I added double fish, because there was a lot of rice and other things and I wanted more fish. I also will probably ask for more spicy mayo next time, because it was a little bland. However, there was definitely enough food, I didn't need more to eat, and I really liked the mix-ins. The texture of the squid salad was great, and I would recommend giving it a try, I just didn't care for the sauce (no reason, just wasn't to my taste). This is a casual dining place. There are a few tables, but it's not a big space. The service was good, and everything made it into our takeout order.
