GoPlanit Reviews for Ono Hawaiian Foods

by Jimmy K on Thursday January 29, 2009 at 4:19:56 pm

I kept reading all these great reviews about the food here. But, I was a bit disappointed. It was very very fast. And, the portions were quite large. The lau lau was definitely very very good and worth a try. But, apart from that, I wasn't overly impressed with the rest of the food. The Kahlua pig and butterfish were too salty. The poke didn't have much taste. For my money, I think I'd prefer something simple like Rainbow drive-in.
