    Combo Plate
    Marjorie F.

    This place has been on my list since we moved here three years ago. Inspired my hula sisters, my cousin and I went there for a late lunch. We found out that the kitchen is technically closed from 2-5pm, but they could still serve some limited options. The food is pretty good. I didn't know what to expect since it had been years since I had Hawaiian food. My cousin and I both had the combo plate which was their chicken and pork dishes. Yum!!! The serving was very generous. It's plenty of food for two, so we each had to take some home. I love leftovers! [[HIGHLIGHT]]This restaurant is small, casual, cozy, and warm.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] They also have specialty items on their shelves for purchase. Plus awesome Hawaiian shirts! The people who work there are lovely - very friendly and accommodating. Overall, I was happy with everything and really dug the vibe. I will definitely be back!

    Kimchi potstickers
    Marissa P.

    Aloha from Milwaukee! Hawaiian food in a Midwestern city? What a treat!! I loved the kimchi potstickers. They came with one thin, salty sauce and one sweet, thick one. My friend got the bao, and the other tried the sliders--everything was delicious and we really enjoyed the sides that came with it. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Also, it's located in this little shop that appears to not serve food when you walk in, but there are tables in the back where you can dine-in.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The service was also great everyone was so kind and friendly!

    The salmon is fantastic and the best part of the dining experience! It had a crispy exterior and the skin is crunchy. The ahi tuna is delightful and a tad spicy, which is a win in my book. The chicken's heavily spiced but light on salt, and the pork's a bit bitter (but it may be the flavor profile.) Overall, it's a very nice experience. We were given water bottles. The visual presentation is also great. Definitely suggest getting the pineapple carrot as a side; we also really liked the mac. They have some pretty dang big portions. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The place is very hole in the wall/ small and cozy.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Food is served hot.

    I am obsessed!! I went with my friend who has recommended this place and I can't believe I didn't go sooner. The food is delicious!! She got the ahi tuna and I got the loco moco. Everything came out so fast and the servers/staff/owner are all so lovely and friendly. I would highly highly recommend!! Portions are pretty hefty and very reasonably priced - I'd say it's good for two meals. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Please note it's very small with only a few tables for seating behind their front market, so I'm sure they can get busy during peak meal hours.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] But they are doing their best! I am already figuring out what I want to try next!!

    We got some purple rice and poke" to go and made poke bowls! Both still taste great and we found all of our favorite snacks and drinks to go too. They were out of the salmon but we will of course be back! I like the convenience of the take out menu too.

    Spam Musubi

    Everything was great for spam masubi 10 outta 10 ! a little different and never had it this way. Everything else was good the seaweed salad, the kale salad, and the Kahlúa pork. If I'm ever in town again, I would definitely pick up that Hawaiian food. Also would get their drinks, a try and the Hawaiian chips faithfully good

    Better than any dishes that I had when I was in Hawaii! [[HIGHLIGHT]]The meat was fresh, portions were generous, sides were dynamic and vibes were authentic.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I had the Combo plate with Gen Lai and carrots slaw as well as the Porko Loco with macaroni salad and kimchi. I will be back here monthly and might take advantage of their catering! Make sure to pick up a gift shop item before you leave.

    Our meals were awesome! The owner and his staff were really kind, helpful and hospitable, we're really glad we stumbled upon this place as we aren't from the area. We'll definitely be coming back to eat here next visit to Milwaukee

    Nice variety of menu options for catering. Friendly order and delivery. The pot stickers were kind of crusty dry on the ends and the beef a little chewy but the chicken and sauces were delicious as the vegetables stir fry. Plates and silverware are very pricey so we used our own.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]What a cute quaint place![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] As soon as you enter, you're greeted with lots of import snacks, drinks, etc. [[HIGHLIGHT]]kind of small inside, but there are a few tables in the back.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I think when we went, we met the owner. He was this older man and was very inviting. I didn't know that the Ahi Poke came with nuts so he took back the plate and remade with without nuts. Everything was so yummy! The pineapple carrot slaw was crunchy and sweet, the tuna was the perfect consistency and it was fresh! I added some of the shoyu that was on the table and loved it. This was our first time trying loco moco and it was very good. A burger steak covered in a gravy on top of rice and an egg. Almost reminded me of a nicer Salisbury steak! Def recommend!

    Excellent food! Great takeout! Extra kind and friendly service! They even catered a wedding shower for us! Overall superb flavors and wonderful people!

    Was in the area and ordered some dinner to go arrived no more then 10 minutes after we placed the order and the food was cold. We got the Char Siu Chicken land it tasted like it had been sitting for a while and not fresh at all. The spam musubi was old and fell apart as soon as my wife bit into it. Normally don't do reviews for poor service but my wife is pregnant and she was pretty let down. The staff were friendly though!

    Ono Kine Grindz is such an amazing place. I first discovered it in 2010 when it was brand new when a food app suggested Hawaiian food in the area. I was like, "Wait, there's local food in Tosa?" And I was surprised and delighted to find there was! Being from Maui, I didn't expect to see local food in Tosa (where I had been exiled for 5 years at that point for my studies). I would return several times with friends or whenever I felt the need for a plate lunch between 2010-2013 when I left WI and moved back west (part of the time back on Maui). I rekindled my love of Ono Kine Grindz in early 2023 after I started working in the Milwaukee metro again. David and Guy, the owners, were the same, awesome people still yet. Friendly to everyone who walks in the door. They are great examples of the Aloha spirit and make people a part of their Ono Kine Grindz ohana. The food is amazing still yet, and I haven't had anything bad. Of course, I have my favorites, but I do on Maui as well. Their mac salad is great, and I also get the seaweed salad because, so ono (delicious)! The Kalua pig is amazing, and pro tip, it keeps well for leftovers. If they have ono available, I usually get that since it's one of my favorite fish. Basically, you can't go wrong. And to top it all off, these guys went above and beyond with the Lahaina donating part of their proceeds for a significant amount of time to help the people of Maui who were affected -- many of whom are my friends. Mahalo nui loa! Thanks for being such an important part of the community in Milwaukee and in Hawai'i.

    Ask the Community - Ono Kine Grindz

    Is this now take out only?

    They still have dine in option with seating in the restaurant/store. I was there two weeks ago and ate in so not sure if this is permanent with the inspector.
