There is a Respectable and Handsome guy running the front of the restaurant. Hahaha. The service here is always friendly, I always and only order here for Thai food. My favorite dish is their green curry chicken. I always request for extra basil and bamboo. The Green curry flavor with the coconut so creamy and ono every time. I don't like spicy but their "no spice" has just the tiniest amount of kick so I can enjoy Thai curry. Another dish I highly recommend is the fried chicken. Their Thai friend chicken is definitely different from any other. It's always perfectly crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. I eat here once or twice a month for Thai food, and every visit has been so ONO, reliable and satisfying. Inside the restaurant is usually busy takeout is the best option. read more

Wow, great hole in the wall restaurant serving delicious Thai. Short 20min drive away from kolina, we were trying to find a place for dinner for 10 on a Sunday evening and this hidden gem popped up on yelp. Everything we ordered was tasty and portions and prices were fair. Service was good and restaurant was full but not overly crowded. Will return again! read more

We made a call in order to go and got Pad Thai, Panang curry, and a side of rice since the curry doesn't come with rice. The host was very kind and accommodating and provided everything we needed in the to-go order. There were a few tables and the interior has nice seating. The food was solid - I appreciated how well seasoned the Pad Thai was - usually I look for color first and it had the correct dark brown molasses color and the shrimp was cooked perfectly. The Panang curry was stand out in regards to flavor - the vegetables were overcooked but flavor wise it was one of the best I've had. Solid spot for this side of the island. read more

UPDATE: I knocked off one star because it was hot in there on a Saturday afternoon. Well our last visit we went on a Friday night.. problem solved. We still highly enjoyed our meal and as usual the food came out fast, fresh and the staff were friendly. I wish this place was located in town, won't dare knock a star off for that. read more

Used to have the highest regard for this place, and don't want to be insulting because I don't know their circumstances, but a lot has changed compared to just a year ago. The service really sucks, like they seem sad and not very friendly. Where's the lady who used to be here? She was so kind. Lately even the recipes are different. I hope they are all ok but I can't keep spending if things are now this way. No aloha no mahalo only speak mainland here, like what's up with you ? read more

Always come for the fried chicken and end up ordering the pad thai and basil chicken!!! Everything here is AMAZING!! read more

Always our go-to spot for Thai food! This time we decided to try something new and ordered the Ono Thai Chicken Basil, requested non-spicy. Of course, the Thai Fried Chicken is a must every time we order--it never disappoints. The Pad Thai was flavorful, though the beef was a bit tough, so next time I'll go with a different protein. I'd also been craving mango sticky rice and was pleasantly surprised they had it, even though it's not listed on the menu (just pictured). Service is consistently great here. I called in the order, and it was ready in about 20 minutes, just as promised. The restaurant was bustling, which is always nice to see for this hidden gem! read more

Just order anything and you'll be happy. Great quality food, friendly and efficient service with a kickback homey ambiance. Soups, curries and Thai style pho. The wife and I always get the PAPAYA SALAD Laos style medium spicy with friend chicken, drunk noodles and jungle curry! It's hard to beat! Lowkey probably best fried chicken in ewa. One of those hidden gem kinda spots for sure. Check them out 10/10 read more

Not sure what happened but the quality of this place has gone down within the past year. I had shrimp tom yum a few weeks ago and there were only 4 pieces of shrimp. I ordered a papaya salad for dinner last night and when I got home and started eating it I noticed there was no heat because they didn't add chili peppers. The saddest part were the tomato slices they used. It's like they took all the rubbish parts and added it to my plate. The food here used to be great. I want to see this place succeed so do better Ono Thai. read more

Food is always hot and fresh! Haven't came across a dish we didn't like. Besides trying new dishes here and there, our main go to order is definitely the Thai fried chicken!

Seriously, why is this place so good? Hidden in a small corner in Ewa, it's truly a gem! My hubby likes this pork with basil plate with fried egg on top, his favorite.

I am back, back again! Visiting my dad and picking up my son to go home to SJ. I always have to make a stop here no matter what. My dad and step mom order their regulars, seafood green curry and chicken basil. Today my son wanted some pad Thai but my "go to" is their pad ki maow with pork. Love all that gravy and their quality of the food is amazing. So fresh and is authentic. Service is so nice upon entering the restaurant. I love that they play videos of food while enjoying my meal too. Coming back in October again so this time i am bringing the whole gang with me. read more

I really enjoy the food at Ono Thai. It's a place where you should definitely order family style because you'll want to try a little bit of everything. The flavors are great, the dishes feel well balanced, and there is a strong use of vegetables that makes the food feel fresh and satisfying. Everything tastes thoughtfully made, and it's an easy spot to recommend whether you're going with friends or family read more

The panang curry was outstanding! We also got the pad thai and enjoyed it as well. The service was quick and accommodating. Inside the restaurant had plenty of seating and was nicely decorated with fresh flowers on the tables. read more

Female hostess and server happily welcomed and offered us to sit at any four top seater in the restaurant. She also mentioned, "You've come to the right place today." We sat at a four seater closest to the wall. Two observations was we're not offered a spice level when same server took our order. There's also no indication of spice level or preference on the menu. Go all in! Ingredients in summer rolls a.k.a Poh Pia Sod tasted very fresh and wrapped tightly in rice paper. Peanut dipping sauce was served slightly cold. Prefer to have it served warm. Thai Fried Chicken "Gai Tod" was plentiful. Crunchy batter tasted yummy! One of chicken pieces attached to a bone was on the drier side. Needed Thai sweet chili sauce to balance the dryness. Another piece without the bone tasted moist. Stir fried ingredients of Beef Pad King complemented each other; however, taste of gravy reminded me of beef broccoli. Squeezed the lime over Chicken Pad Thai. Noodles appeared and tasted more on the wet side. Chicken and tofu complemented the moisture in this entree. Our fave was the Beef Pannang which delivered a medium spice level. We loved the delicious combination of coconut milk, curry, and peanuts. Generous servings of tender beef slices, long green beans, bell peppers, and onions. Curry soaked up nicely and integrated well with white rice. Same server checked on us a few times to see how our food tasted, ensured that carafe was refilled with water, we had enough napkins, and cleared our plates in a timely manner. She also brought out a few to go containers. There's free parking in shared lot and one restroom in the restaurant. read more

A hole in the wall Thai restaurant tucked in Ewa beach. Has a very "homey" feel when you walk in. Came here to eat lunch with my cousin. It wasn't busy so we were seated right away. The dining space is actually huge compared to other Thai restaurants. They also had 2 tvs constantly playing in the background, very nice for entertaining customers that are waiting for their food. I noticed that there was a lot of to-go customers picking up their orders so that's a nice sign that this place is good. A few things we ordered on the menu: Curry noodles (5/5): Pad Thai style noodles with a rich creamy curry sauce! My first time ever trying this dish and it was sooo flavorful and good. I def recommend this dish! I don't see it too often on the menu at the other locations. Tom Kha (3/5): It was more on the tarty sour soup. It was flooded with lots of veggies which I like. But wish it had more coconut milk and was more creamy. Papaya salad Laos style medium (4/5): You can never go wrong with papaya salad. Definitely a Thai/Lao staple and one of my favorite dishes! I love how it came with crunchy lettuce & cabbage. I wish it had a bit more spice to it, as I like my food spicy. But overall, it was good! Thai fried chicken (5/5): They gave a GENEROUS amount of fried chicken! Enough to feed 4 people, it was sooo crunchy and good. Love this! Overall, this place definitely is ONO THAI food! I can't wait to visit again. read more

Something changed. The papaya salad was shredded thinner and tasted bland with lime. The basil beef which is my go to was flat as well. The spring rolls were thinner and not fried well. The curry was just ok. The padthai noodles were descent. The fried chicken was the only thing that tasted normal. Whoever cooked on last Saturday may need to get some pointers from the regular chef. A bit disappointing because we moved to the mainland and take out from here twice a year and this time it wasn't so good. read more

Craving for pad Thai and we were in the area and went to check this place out. They're popular with regulars, party table and take outs. We had the fish patties for starters which was nice. The pad Thai was good but the noodles were not fully soft and the portion was good for one person. If it was more I think it would have been a better. We left still hungry. We'll come back to try other entree and give them a 2nd chance. Thank you Ono Thai. read more

Been coming here for years. We appreciate the delicious food. It's always tasty and devoured by our team and family. When in the mood for some Pho this place has some great pho. The garlic stir fry is bursting with flavor. read more

What a great place to add to our safe places to eat. Food was awesome! Not overly spicy- we had two plates pad thai, one fried chicken plate and the panang curry with two rice sides for the curry of course. There were four of us so we shared all plates. The pad Thai was Ono! It wasn't exactly dry like most I've had but was a little more wet and flavorful. The chicken was a crispy golden brown but very moist inside and cut to morsel readable sizes with meat scissors - made a mental note to just order chicken for takeaway next time I just wanted a chicken dinner. The last was the panang curry. It was very creamy and full of happy thoughts - we ordered two rice sides especially for the curry. Now I normally don't like Thai food because of the lemon grass that some restaurants make it the premier spice of all their dishes but here, it was subtle and just a kind reminder that it was in the food. Excellent! $68 - not bad, of course we couldn't finish it and we are poly-people! We had half the curry left, a third of the chicken and a little pad thai that we would save for bruddahs work lunch. Cheehoo! The little restaurant still had a bathroom - it was half full but not noisy and our waitress was awesome. She knew her menu, took orders over the phone and handles the rest of the tables like a pro. read more

My first time eating at Ono Thai after hearing so many good things about it! My cousin is a regular and does takeout weekly. This place doesn't disappoint. The flavors definitely do pop in each dish we've eaten! Food is delicious! We got calamari, thai fried chicken, spring rolls, yellow curry with chicken, pad ki maow and sticky rice. My favorite was the pad ki maow! it's pretty spicy and had flavors that I don't think i've had in any food i've eaten before. Yellow curry with chicken was not bad, it tastes better when you mix it with your sticky rice. Service was good, often got checked up on. The ambiance is not bad. It was slightly dark in the back of the restaurant. Maybe that's the vibe they go for. It's also super quiet in there, i've noticed I caught myself whispering when talking. They should place some music to fill in the quietness. read more

We always get some kind of curry as a staple and then try something new from the menu. Everything we have tried is amazing!

I am telling you, best Thai restaurant on island!! The Pad Thai is better than I've ever had. The sauce! And the Pannang was out of this world. The people are so nice and you feel like you are in a home. read more

Spontaneously went on a Saturday around 2PM and it was completely empty. With the waterfall ambiance from the TV being the only noise, it felt almost eerie and like we were disturbing the peace by even speaking to each other. We started off with the ono app combo (2 spring rolls, 2 fish patties, and 2 chicken satay sticks), which was a perfect sampler for two people and came with sauces for each of the apps. We also always order green curry with sticky rice and shrimp pad thai whenever we go to a Thai restaurant and luckily the green curry was amazing. It honestly carried the whole meal. Perfect consistency and amounts of vegetables and tofu. The pad thai almost tasted BBQ-y and had maybe 5 pieces of shrimp. I also wish there were additional spices or hot sauces offered to kick up the heat a bit more. Overall, not bad but not life-changing. read more

Our fave Thai location. We usually get the pad se ew and it never fails to deliver. Also, love the eggplant salad (though it comes with a lot of fish sauce) and the pad ki maow. Appreciate the consistency in the food. read more

Coming from the mainland, I had a hard time looking for a Thai food spot that's both delicious and affordable but this place definitely checks those two boxes off! I'd say this place has the BEST Thai food on the island thus far! Such a little cute hole in a wall gem in Ewa! We came on a Saturday night and they were hella busy. We took the last table available before they started having a wait (we got lucky!). The restaurant only have a handful of tables and only had two servers who's running everything including their pick up/to go orders. And I think they did such a great job while being under a lot of stress. They were also very nice and friendly! We got 4 orders to share between three people (two adults and one toddler) and their serving size for everything we ordered was more than enough unlike other places we've been to. We didn't realize that we ordered so much until everything came so we ended up having so much leftovers that we took home lol. If there's one dish that I'd truly recommend, it's their Thai fried chicken! Omg, it was amazing! A definite must try! It's so worth the $13 with how it tasted and how much they give you! I mean, everything else we got was also a hit! We got pad see ew, beef panang curry, & beef massaman curry. Not a lot of Thai restaurants in the island offers massaman curry so we had to try and it didn't disappoint! Just a heads up, rice doesn't come with any of the entrees tho so you have to order it separately and it's $3 for one serving. Overall, this place is a hit! We're looking forward to coming back and trying their other dishes next time! read more

After a beach day in Ewa, this is a nice place to stop on your way home. The table favorites is the Thai fried chicken appetizer. The sweet chili sauce to dip in hit the spot. The pineapple fried rice with beef was flavorful and had plenty of meat. Panang curry with chicken was ok; don't forget to order rice. Staff were helpful and food came out quick. Plus, parking right in front. read more

Take out. Eggplant salad was soggy, but Thai fried chicken, Thai sweet sour pork were very tasty. Nice to have options on spice level.

First things first, if you plan to order take out, call ahead and place your orders early or expect to wait. Don't wait till you're starving to call. I've only been to Ono Thai once so this is just based on what I saw while dining in that one time. But the door just kept opening and closing the whole time we were there. We heard the server telling people on the phone wait times were up to an hour and this is at around 5:45-7pm on a Sunday night. However do give Ono Thai a try if you're in the area! It is so good! We got the pad ki maow, Thai fried chicken, and garlic stir fry. Portion sizes were pretty generous and the food was so good! Definitely one of the best Thai food (and well priced too) on the island. I have to bring a group with me next time though so I can try more of the menu! The pad ki maow was sautéed nicely, with good flavor without being too salty. Spice level was perfect as well. The fried chicken was amazing! It comes with a sweet chili sauce for dipping and it was SO crispy and crunchy! Definitely a winner! I do wish it was seasoned a little more but not bad as you do have the chili sauce. The garlic stir fry was surprisingly good. It's the garlic sauce. We also got a Thai iced coffee to go and let me say that is definitely the best Thai iced coffee I've had on island. read more

It's hard finding good Thai food but Ono Thai hits the mark. The food is fresh and tasty. I also like the pad ka pow (chili basil). It's located pretty deep in Ewa Beach - almost across Campbell High School. The pad thai is really good as is the red curry with fish. There's so much more on the menu to try. Service is good and attentive. They seem to do a lot of take out orders. There is ample free parking in the lot just outside. read more

I came here for the papaya salad Lao style. I was so disappointed the presentation and taste is not like before. There was a big change the slices are so thick and big. I don't taste the fish sauce (bagoong). I ordered the sticky rice they serve it last minute. I used to come here a lot because of the papaya salad. But this will be my last visit. read more

Stopped in for lunch and had the tofu spring rolls. The feeling was great but the rapper was thick and chewy as if it had dried out for a while. Would not be on my order list for next time. My main entree was pad so Eew which is thick rice noodles eggs, meat, and broccoli stir-fried in a sweet soy sauce. It was okay but nothing really jumped out at me. I had to ask for some chili sauce to give it a little bit of a bump. The positive thing for sure was that there was an awful lot of food on the plate which I didn't get to finish for lunch but that's okay. read more

Thanks to the other Yelpers, I found this hidden gem in Ewa. Hard to find this hole in the wall in the hidden strip mall behind 7-eleven. I am continuing my quest for my new interest in Thai food. Got the Green Curry and the Fried Chicken and they didn't disappoint. The Green Curry with eggplant and bamboo shoots was very tasty. The Fried Chicken was pretty good and it was a huge portion. Best to order in advance to save time. I opted to take out but inside the restaurant looks nice & clean. This place lives up to its name "Ono" Thai. read more

Came here with a coworker! She recommended it! What we ordered & shared: -Papaya Salad Lao style (mild/medium) -Tom Yum chicken -Panang chicken -summer rolls -Pad Thai Chix -2 order sticky rice -2 Thai teas Pros -Food came out fast -Panang was the best out of all dishes! It was my fav -Food was tasty. Didn't disappoint -Servers were nice and friendly! They were quiet -They were on it with clearing out their tables and cleaned it right away instead of having it sit there -Thai tea was delicious! I wish they did free refills lol Cons -It is hidden behind Pizza Hut/ Taco Bell area, right across the street of Shiros which can be a bit confusing to find if you never been here before (like I have) -parking lot can be a bit confusing too as they share parking lot with other restaurants that has other businesses but it's like if there are no parking you can def park in the other lots too -Papaya salad didn't have any heat. I at least expected it to have 1-2 Thai peppers but didn't. It was totally mild. Which could have been a pro but papaya salad was very tasted even for it being mild. -This restaurant is on the smaller side but it's doable for smaller parties -Really not a con but the sticky rice came out purple. Expected it to be plain sticky rice but it did have a purple color to it? Maybe they added black sticky rice to it making it purple? Didn't really affect the taste it was just I never had purple sticky rice before. I guess I was expecting it to be plain white sticky rice. -Pad Thai was good but could have used more peanuts in it! I love peanuts. -Tom Yum was very yummy but did have a lot of onions. I love onions but it kind of was a lot? Maybe bottom of the pan? This dish reminded me of the Filipino sinigang! Overall I would def come here again. I would want to try their Thai fried Chix! I would def be back for their Panang! It was the best I tasted. Food was all good! No really big complaints since the food was all delicious! read more
