    Mango stick rice
    Elizabeth V.

    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!

    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.

    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. My friend recommended the fried chicken and oh my goodness it's amazing and the damn plate is huge! I do go for the salads and noodles too. Can't go wrong. Everything is delicious.

    Our go to Thai place located in Ewa beach. Usually it's busy but we walked in on a Saturday night and not one table was taken but so many take out orders and the phone kept going off to place more orders. The food is so good, our regular order is Thai fried chicken (so crispy), papaya salad (so refreshing), chicken pad Thai, chicken green curry with sticky rice.

    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.

    Beef Pannang
    Ruby S.

    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.

    Thai Fried Chicken
    Lovey Y.

    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.

    Panang curry - a little heat but not over powering flavor.

    Is it byob?

    We don't drink you can call and ask sorry

    Are they open on Sundays? They were closed last Sunday and no one is answering the phone today also.

    I walked past there today and they posted a sign on the door. they're actually closed for renovations till May 4.

    Do they have a vegan/vegetarian dishes/menu?

    Their items can be modified vegetarian. We get tofu instead of the meat in their curry and noodle dishes. We always get the pineapple fried rice w/tofu! They also have veggie dishes. As for vegan, they'll advise you if a dish can be made vegan… Read more

Possibly because of its upscale vibe, prices are $6 -$7 more than other places. Food was tasty. Portions are large and so I was able to take home my leftovers. Bathroom is nice and clean. The only thing is that there's a large frosted Pictor window making the restroom really warm and muggy. I would recommend this place, but not for everyday dining due to the higher end price.

Our table was full, but made all our tummy's full and soooo satisfied even if we still had some food to take home. I forgot to take a picture and we were starting to eat so it was missing a shumai and missing the fried chicken photo. Also, they have a complimentary salad and I forgot to take a picture of that too. I wanted to take a picture of everything together, but hard when you got your whole family and they already hungry hahahaha ALL the staff are always welcoming and sooooo nice! I like that they interact with our children even tho our children can be a handful. Their service is always quick and the food always comes out correct and hot! Most of the time they give a complimentary side order of mochi balls and give the kids these blow up flower thingys. Haha Besides things on the sides as storage for big orders like boxes, the place is well kept clean as far as tables and floors. I never seem to have a problem. That place gives our family a feel at home vibe! It's our Go To Ramen spot, so of course we will definitely visit them soon!
