Onolicious Hawaii

5/5 Stars - Absolutely Outstanding! After a disappointing first visit, manager Sean’s incredible customer service convinced me to give Onolicious another chance, best decision ever! The chicken was fall-off-the-bone tender, shrimp perfectly seasoned, and lumpia crispy and delicious. You can taste the quality and care in every dish. Sean went above and beyond to make things right, showing what kind of genuine family business this is. If you want fresh, tasty Hawaiian BBQ with outstanding service, this is your spot! Highly recommend and will definitely be back.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Transformative. The food here was just so good! I haven’t had proper Hawaiian Mac salad in years and yours took me right back 💛 I highly recommend everyone try this place, the shoyu chicken is good, the pineapple dessert was awesome. Fantastic experience!

Our server Alex was amazing and so helpful recommendations! So happy there are many vegan, vegetarian, and pescatarian options! I got my dish with the impossible meat.

First visit and I only regret not visiting earlier. The meal was FANTASTIC. Here's what's on our plates, favorites starred: Chicken Katsu (★), Teriyaki Beef, Mac Salad, Lumpia Sauce (★) and Musubi Sauce, Mauna Kea Chicken Katsu (★), Char Siu Shrimp with Papaya Salad. Not pictured: Ala Moana Ahi Bites (★) which I highly recommend. Aside from favorites, everything really was great. Folks were super friendly and vibe was solid.

Onolicious delivers an authentic taste of Hawaii right here in Ohio! The food was unbelievably delicious—so good it felt like a true island experience. I had the vegan pesto burger, and my partner enjoyed the three-protein plate (ribs, spam, and pork)—both were exceptional. We also indulged in a few appetizers and capped it off with a refreshing luau punch to-go. The drinks were fantastic, the atmosphere was adorable, and the service was impeccable. Highly recommend! Also, sooo many vegan options!

Good vibe, quality service & the food is impeccable! I have tried a few things on the menu and as a very picky eater I have been pleasantly surprised with everything! I got the teriyaki burger this time, tastes as good as it looks!

We stopped in on our way through Cincinnati and had a wonderful meal. The H-1 Musubi, chicken sandwich, and Shoyu chicken plate were all delicious!

This place is exactly what Cincy has been missing. It's good Hawaiian cuisine. I got the katso chicken with sauce and it was cooked perfectly. I'm a huge Fan of the macaroni salad as well. If a Hawaiian Restaurant messes up the mac salad or DOESNT HAVE IT AT ALL? then something is wrong...... the staff is great too

First off, the ambiance was so fun and relaxed. The ordering was a breeze too, you can order right from your phone and everything has a picture so you can get an idea of what the food is. The food itself was so flavorful and delicious. My husband and I both got the 3 meat platter (so we could try just about all the meats) and there wasn't one that wasn't delicious! My favorites were the pork (so tender) and the Huli Huli Katsu chicken (so crispy, even in sauce). We, needless to say, left full but didn't regret a bite! I would highly recommend this place, it's a hidden gem (for visitors that might look for a more widely known restaurant name). Way more flavorful and unique than a typically trafficked place!

No need to make reservations - ample seating. They have a great extensive menu. We ordered a lot of different plates to try the proteins - one point off for the saltiness - felt way too salty for me. One thing I love is that I ordered a pina colada and they had extra in the blender so they'll give you the extra!

Incredibly delicious Hawaiian food served in a vibrant restaurant with colorful decor and tables. (highly recommend loco moco) We got to try the poco moco. It's a beef patty covered in a mushroom gravy sauce served with a yolky egg over rice. Now I wouldn't call myself a mushroom lover but trust me if you're worried it's going to overpower the dish it won't. It's balanced perfectly in the dish but of course if you hate mushrooms then I'd recommend something else. This dish felt like eating a home cooked meal! I also got to try their mauna kea chicken which is juicy chicken covered in panko, fried to perfection. Glazed in what I would describe is like a hot honey glaze. It has a very subtle flavor, hints of that butter, slightly tangy with a bit of a kick. My favorite though is the wagyu teriyaki. Now you're probably thinking chicken teriyaki but this isn't quite like that. I'm a huge fan of japanese bbq, I'm super picky. This is amazing not overly sweet, meat is super tender, with hints of fat melting in your mouth. I would order this all the time if I could. Overall great vibes, very reasonably priced food for how delicious and generous the portions are, plenty of seating, very clean. Def. recommend the loco moco and wagyu teriyaki, everything on their menu looks really good and worth the try!

WOW. My husband and I were looking for a good lunch spot while spending the day in Cincinnati and thought we would try something different. Onolicious Hawaii was the perfect spot for that. This place is adorable and makes you feel like you are sitting right on the beach of Hawaii. There are swinging chairs, videos of surfing on the wall and a little tiki patio outside. You place your order through the QR code on the table, which made everything quick and efficient. This was also nice because they have such a large menu, so I didn't feel rushed getting to look through it all. I tried the huli huli katsu chicken with rice and potato salad, and man... it was so good! The sauce was a very sweet bbq and the chicken was so crispy. This is probably one of my favorite Hawaiian restaurants that I've been to! You gotta check it out!

First time eating at a Hawaii restaurant. The ordering system is really user friendly as you can order everything from your phone. Overall I was pleased with the food and service.

While visiting Cincinnati on a work trip, I ordered Onolicious Hawaii through door dash to my hotel. It was super easy to place the order online. I got the Lanikai Lumpia (spring roll). They were really good! Nice and crispy with delicious vegan filling of red cabbage, carrots, green beans, onions, ginger & garlic! I dipped them in the sweet chili sauce - yum! I also got the hamburger steak plate with rice and house chips. The portion size was large. The hamburger steak was really good. I enjoyed the gravy. I also really liked the house chips - they were nice and thin. Overall, the meal was great! I'd definitely recommend it.

Good vibes and flavors. Visited on a Friday night and placed a dine in order. The food was at the table in about 10 minutes and the mains were both wonderful. The Mauna Kea Chicken Katsu was perfectly described on the menu: sweet, spicy and buttery. Loved it! My wife's Kalua Pig Plate looked so good that I had to try it, and darn it if it wasn't tender and soaked in a savory sauce that almost made me second guess getting the chicken. On the side of each dish were two scoops of white rice and the option to choose another side. Flip a coin between the Mac salad and the potato salad as neither stood out other than in comparison to the rice. But the mains are where it's at!

I would not recommend this place 0/100. Portions are small and childish. The pineapple rolls are small and the entree was big a a banquet dinner

We came to Onolicious for our book club. There were six of us and we were easily able to get a table. Many of us had never been there before so we asked the bartender for his top recommendations. I decided to try the spam musubi, as well as the huli huli chicken plate. The spam musubi was simple and delicious- I would definitely order it again. I didn't love the huli huli chicken, but other people in my group really liked it. They have a nice outdoor patio. I would be interested in coming back when the weather warms up and having a cocktail outside.

3.5 stars rounded to 4 Cute/ tropical vibes inside and the food was decent. We liked the cocktails and the bartender was helpful in suggesting some to try! The cocktails were heavy on the ice, though. You seat yourself and order with the QR code on the table from your phone. This is convenient --but also not. You have to tip when you check out and order everything at once. Or you keep adding items and have to pay again/ check out again. Would love just one bill at the end. Lumpia was crispy but $13 for 4 was steep. Portions of the plates were generous!! You have to pay $1 for any sauces you want and there are a lot of up charges for certain proteins on the lunch plates. Example- $4 up charge for 4 shrimp. Hit- the lumpia and kalua pig Miss- garlic shrimp (burnt garlic and greasy), chicken katsu (not crispy at all) Just fine- Mac salad, potato salad, musubi Nothing was terrible and nothing was great. Not sure I'd go out of my way to be back.

We've been on a Hawaiian kick lately, maybe because we miss our Hawaiian family, who knows. Onolicious was our second local Hawaiian spot in the last week or so. It's kind of hidden off the "new and improved" Court Street, but worth looking for. Brightly-colored interior with kinda uncomfortable metal tables and chairs, they say they're counter service, be we were waited on. Maybe it was the time of day, but kudos for exceeding expectations right away. The food was decent, service was great, and the prices demonstrated value. Jordan was our server, and bartender, and he did an excellent job. The musubi was the best I've had outside of my son-in-law in Kaua'i. The rest of the food was tasty. We'll likely return for a late lunch or early dinner. Probably not during regular dinner hours as we didn't seem to fit their target demographic. I tired to get the manager/owner's attention to make some positive comments, but he looked right through me. Benefit of the doubt suggests he didn't see me. But then in a mostly empty restaurant and a being a vaguely 'fluffy' guy, I'm hard to miss.

First visit and I only regret not visiting earlier. The meal was FANTASTIC. Here's what's on our plates, favorites starred: Chicken Katsu*, Teriyaki Beef, Mac Salad, Lumpia Sauce* and Musubi Sauce, Mauna Kea Chicken Katsu*, Char Siu Shrimp with Papaya Salad. Not pictured: Ala Moana Ahi Bites** which I highly recommend. Aside from favorites, everything really was great. Folks were super friendly and vibe was solid.

Fantastic food. Walking in the decor was fun and the service was friendly and efficient. The food was packed with great flavors, but the expansiveness of the menu did make it a tad difficult to navigate what actually differed from item to item as many used similar bases. The prices were reasonable, especially when considering the portion sizes which were quite generous for most items, except the tacos which were kind of on the smaller side. Would definitely recommend and would likely return if in the area again.

Love love this place! Great food, cool vibes and creative service. I've never been to a place with this kind of service and it's quiere cool and easy. You come in scan the code on the table and order/pay through your phone, then they bring it out for you. You can place as many orders as you wish and it doesn't have to be on the same "tab". There is no waiter or host, but they do bring out water, your order, and they pick up the plates as you get done. Not only the service is near but the foods is delicious. To drink we order a Kona beer and a Spicy margarita, the margarita was one of a kind, it had the right amount of alcohol and spiciness. To eat we tried the Musubi, and we ordered Mix Plate (two protein- shoyu chicken and huli huli chicken) it came with rice and a side we had the Aloha salad. Everything was a total hit! So delicious, and perfectly clocked. The meat was soft and properly seasoned. My favorite was the rice and the Shoyu chicken. This is a must try place!

This place is absolutely as good as people have been raving about. I got the 3 meat plate to try as much as possible, and everything exceeded my expectations. The Huli Huli chicken had a fantastic skin, with a lot of the Hawaiian bbq flavor you would expect and charred very well. If I had to get any one thing again, I would get the adobo ribs. Fell right off the bone, and were incredibly flavorful. The sauce they were covered with was addicting and I would buy a bottle if I could. It was very unique to me compared to the other two meats, which I felt were good but could probably get somewhere else. Kalua pig wasn't my favorite at first, but after soaking up the sauce and eating it with rice it definitely caught up. The aloha slaw was the real underdog here. It was very tasty, with not too much vinegar and something tropical/sweet. The store itself is pretty fun, but be warned it is fairly pricey and you order everything from your phone. There are still people around to help, but it may take you a while to order if you don't have apple or google pay. Only complaint would be the pineapple tea. It's a very subtly sweet tea flavored with pineapple juice and full of ice. But no refills for $3 definitely hurts. All in all this should be on everyone's Cincinnati must try list.

The food here is absolutely delicious! The portion sizes are very large and the food always comes out hot and fresh! Great place for dinner and lunch! The drinks here are amazing as well and the spicy margarita is top notch! The service is fantastic and the restaurant is beautiful and fun! One of our favorites in the city!

Vibes: YES! Super colorful & welcoming! Love that they have swings as seats along the window. We went on the weekend around 3pm (no FCC game in town) and lucked out with a super small crowd of people. Service was great, everyone was super helpful with walking us through the menu and making suggestions. We got the Surf & Turf and Loco Moco. Both were generous servings & had a ton of flavor. Highly recommend if you're in the area and are looking for a casual eatery, fun vibes, and flavorful food!

Simply amazing Hawaiian food. I love just about everything that I've ordered from them. I've had it delivered and picked-up - so I can say that location is charming and that to-go orders are well packaged. My favorites are the pulled pork, the Char Sui Chicken, the haupia dessert, the slaw, and vegan pork hash.

We were back in town for a wedding and wanted to try out any new spots that have opened up since we left Cinci in 2019. Onolicious did not disappoint!! The ambience inside truly does feel like you're on vacation in Hawaii. The swings by the window are a great touch, I had a blast swinging while I happily ate my meal :) we loved the loco moco and mixed protein plates. I truly don't think you could go wrong with anything on the menu! Cocktails were also soo yummy. Will definitely be back again when I come around to visit family!

Onolicious has really grown since the last few years that I first tried them, their menu has tripled in size And expanded greatly! They have so many new and amazing different dishes, it's like watching your child grow up how they've changed and I'm here for it! They certainly graduated in having a variety on their menu that will be sure to appeal to anyones tastes and pallet, their macaroni salad and potato salad are still the best in the tristate and a staple to get at their restaurant along with their rice, they have many chicken dishes now which make me so happy, loving this place more and more!

This restaurant is so fun and cute, and has some swing seats! I appreciated all the veggie options. The vegan lumpia was amazing, as was the dessert sweet potato lumpia! Server was really nice!

This place was amazing. The food was fresh delicious and the people were so nice. The owners were even there and they were really making sure that we had an amazing birthday dinner for my daughter. I would recommend this place at any point in time. The food was authentic and you can't beat the atmosphere.

Everything we had was phenomenal. The waygu is out of this world. So tender and flavorful. I'm not a huge meat eater but the waygu changed my mind. Give it a try, you won't be disappointed.

Super tasty food and helpful workers. This was our first time here and we enjoyed the experience. I really loved the vibes of the restaurant and the interior design. Highly recommend if you want Hawaiian food in the area!

As much as I would like to give this place a 5 star I would but the food was just lacking flavor all around as far as entrees go. I would return here for the apps and thats about it, probably. Didnt have a good start overall on my first time dining here. Firstly, I placed my order via phone for a pina colada drink.. it never showed. Secondly, I was looking for an item i had seen pictured on yelp that was not on the virtual menu. The guy that helped us (sean) said they do have what i was looking for but for some reason it wasnt on the virtual menu. I also noticed many more items was not on there either.. so kinda frustrating there also. Ultimately, i had to place my order with a gentleman that worked there because the items i wanted were not available for me to order through the phone. Received our food, my friends huli chicken was not cooked all the way and had blood stemming from it :( Went inside and informed the bartender that we needed our server. Bartender then stated they do not have servers. I said " okayyyy then can i have the gentleman that took my order and brought our food then?? Also, can u refund me for the pina colada i never received?? He then proceeded with "I knew I was missing one, do u want me to make u one to go?" ...um no im good and also I dont think thats allowed but thanks anyway. The gentleman (sean) that DID in fact serve us was excellent!!! Very understanding and prompt in fixing everything !! He removed the undercooked chicken from my friends bill no problem and did not give sass at all. As for my entree the only thing that stood out was the garlic rice I ordered with a $1 up charge that really had some flavor. The kalua pork was flavorless, the macaroni salad flavorless the shoyu chicken had flavor but it really tasted like the smell of Alpo dog food in my opinion, it was not tasty at all. So do not recommend that dish. Sean was very attentive to get me something else to replace the shoyu chicken. Was replaced the chicken katsu which tasted nice.

Great concept! Service was excellent and food was very good. Chicken with the variety of sauces with rice and Mac salad was a hit.

Wow! I have never been to Hawaii, but I've cooked a lot out of a cookbook by a native Hawaiian and by everything I've learned out of that Onolicious is pretty authentic. The musubi is a super simple yet extremely satisfying appetizer of marinated Spam and rice wrapped in nori. Delicious! As an entree I had the kahlua pig (extremely juicy and tender) with rice (generous, perfectly cooked portion) and macaroni salad (awesome). My husband enjoyed the chicken katsu (perfectly fried) and papaya salad (fresh and delightfully spicy). The restaurant itself is a little impersonal as you seat yourself and order via QR code. But the servers are pleasant and prompt, and the food is clearly made with love and care! Very glad we had a chance to try this place.

My new favorite place in Cincy! We ate here for the first time last weekend and LOVED it. From the service to the atmosphere to the incredible food - we had such a great time. Everyone we interacted with was super nice and friendly. The bartender was great and he made amazing cocktails. I had the Pipeline Marg (spicy marg) and my boyfriend had The Cuz'n (Tito's based drink with a merlot float). That was my first experience with a vodka cocktail and a wine float - but it was really really good. Our food was out of the this world! We had the Shoyu Chicken Plate with a wedge salad. I highly recommend this. I will definitely get this again the next time we are in town.

Something new and refreshing! I've never had Hawaiian and this was a definite treat. We were able to walk in, seat ourselves, and quickly place an order by using the QR code menus. We decided to try a few different things from the menu so that we could see what Onolicious had to offer. We started with the chicken tacos (shoyu, char sui, and teriyaki chicken) all were different but very tasty, my favorite being the char sui. The pineapple rolls were a delight, I would have liked to have a few more pineapples in the roll to accompany the crunch and pineapple sauce filling. The homemade ginger beer hit the spot and had its own taste that makes it stand out from other ginger beers I've had...I couldn't quite put my hand on it, but it kept me wanting more. The garlic toasted Hawaiian rolls were also something new and I'm definitely a sucker for a good bread/roll and I could go back for just more of those. The Chicken Long Rice Soup hit the spot! I'm made I had agreed to share with others . Their service was great, staff was attentive and the food was ready in no more than 12-15 minutes. I'm glad we started our taco week off with a bright and refreshing spot. We plan on adding them to our downtown lunch rotation.

Wow, I absolutely love this place! The vibrant and colorful décor made it feel insanely tropical, even though I visited on a cold and windy day. The atmosphere was so inviting, and it really transported me to a Hawalian paradise. Our server was very nice and attentive, and I really liked their QR menu ordering system. Since I can be pretty indecisive, it was great not feeling rushed-no one had to keep checking in on me, which was a plus! For drinks, l ordered a ginger beer and a pineapple iced tea. The ginger beer was great, and while the pineapple iced tea could have been a bit sweeter, it tasted fresh and healthy, so I appreciated it as it was. For our appetizer, we got the mussels, and they were absolutely delicious-the sauce was amazing! For my main dish, I had the huli huli chicken plate, and my fiancé went for the three-meat platter to try a little of everything. He has a big appetite, and it was more than enough for him. Overall, it was such a great experience, and I'd definitely come back-especially in the summer, because this place has such a vibe!

Love this place! It's super casual and the staff are very laid back. The food and drink are super unique, especially for the area. Check it out!

My husband was craving for some "lechon" and just wondering where in this side of town could you possibly find this artisanal roasted pig? Hawaii? So off we go to this Hawaiian resto due to the previous highly rated reviews. Wanting to maximize the exposure to the different taste profiles on the menu, I ordered the 3 meat meal option. I did not regret it! The kalua pig is very well seasoned, it's so soft / tender meat reminiscent of Segovia, Spain's cochinillo ... the vinegary taste of the papaya salad neutralizes the oiliness of the meat which enhances its flavor... The teriyaki beef and chicken is a nice addition to the meal. The sunny side up egg is decadence manifest.. To come full circle with our brunch, we finish it off with Haupia which taste like a coconut jello... It reminds me of the Filipino "maja blanca" . Love it! Over-all, service is brisk and efficient. Ambience is a cool, trendy, urban, spotlessly clean resto... that's able to capture that Hawaiian islands tiki bar vibes besides the awesome food it serves!

So this is our 4th Court St restaurants to try and again uniquely wonderful. I love what is happening in this area and we live 10 min away in Mt. Adams. Will be back & trying takeout too! Next time I am getting the Hulu-huli chicken for sure

The food was delicious. Service was great. He was helpful with recommendations and descriptions. I loved the Katsu chicken and pineapple ice tea. It was a quiet night, so it was fun to listen to the Hawaiian music and enjoy the surroundings. I'll be back.

Staff was amazing. Wonderful atmosphere. If you leave hungry that's on you lol. All five of us loved our meal. The Moco Loco and Musibi was excellent.

Who in their right mind would cuss out a customer for posting an honest review? I thought they're being unprofessional before this but I was surprised they would stoop this low. Wish you all the best hope you over come whatever you're going through. Bless your heart sweetie.

Can't remember what I had but that's not to say it wasn't amazing. Homemade beef topped with fried eggs and onion straws. My buddy got the bbq chicken leg and it was massive and looked delicious. check this place out if you want to surprise your taste buds. I subbed the for the salad most meals come with a big portion of rice and it's delicious!

Recently started working in the city in walking distance and picked up some food to go on the way home for dinner. Wow, they did not skimp on the portions! I ordered the mix plate with char siu and huli huli chicken, and the papaya salad as a side. The takeout container was stuffed with food, and it was absolutely delicious. We will definitely become frequent patrons here.

In my endless search for good food, I stumbled onto Onolicious. It's smallish and nicely decorated. Order from a QR code with an option to pay online. I had the rib special with rice and Mac salad. The meat was tender, and the Mac salad was really good. One small disappointment, there wasn't nearly enough sauce for the rice, and any sauces you want are an extra charge.

Eat here a few times when we were at the Oakley Kitchen. Their food always amazing with good portion of food. Came here again during the Asian Cuisine Week to try their special menu ($10 per items). We ordered the poke taco from ACW menu and a 2-meats plate from regular menu. Poke Taco (5/5) - Ingredients: raw tuna, cucumber, spring onion, soy sauce, rice, corn tortilla - it's AMAZING!! Never have a poke taco before and it's just perfectly match. 2-meats plate (5/5) - they have beef, chicken and pork options. We chose chicken and pork. We also chose papaya salad for the side. - this always come with good portion (lots of meat). - would like to have more rice/vegetable cause the sauce is pretty salty.

Love supporting small businesses. Got the mix plate, soooo much food for 2 more meals.

If you are looking for a new place to visit with great food and great service this is the spot. We decided to try something a little different and we weren't disappointed. We grabbed a couple of seats at the bar and ordered through our phones which was very quick and easy. Our cocktails were very tasty and the food was amazing. What was especially nice was the easy parking right next door. Everything was top notch and we'll be back!

If you happen to be in the downtown Cincinnati area and craving some authentic and SUPER DELICIOUS Hawaiian food, this is the place to be! When planning my recent business trip to Ohio, I noticed this listing on Google maps and said to myself, "Self, this is the absolute LAST place I would expect to find Hawaiian food, but low and behold, there it is!" So after a few days, I quickly concluded my business and decided to hit the restaurant for Sunday brunch at 11am in 40 degree, slightly overcast drizzly conditions, or as the locals call it "a typical December day". The interior felt typical, but in the way you would expect to see a cozy little spot tucked away in Honolulu (minus the cold weather of course). I felt a bit hungry and was mentally preparing for this meal, so I went ahead and ordered everything from the brunch menu. Needless to say, my body was not ready. The first item to arrive was the matcha waffle with some crazy good syrup, paired with a pineapple iced tea, was an amazing start! However, before I got a quarter of the way through the waffle, a heaping bowl of tater tots topped with fried egg and adobo chicken (I think) arrived and the Loco Moco plate very shortly after that. Long story short, I tapped out after 30 minutes, utterly defeated but savoring every bite along the way. The chef also threw in a small order of fried Haupia because I either tried really hard, or he just felt sorry for me. If only humans had four stomachs, I would have tried more on this jam packed menu! This experience is absolutely what I missed when there was a local mom and pop Hawaiian grinds place near me in Orlando. Sending good vibes to Onolicious Grinds wishing much success and hopes for the future. (and possible expansion into Central Florida??) Thanks Allan

Such wonderful flavors of Hawaii! The first time I had grilled spam and the sauce was amazing. Today I had the Honolulu Noodle Bowl with teriyaki beef. So delicious. I highly recommend giving this restaurant a try.

Honestly, I don't think I would have tried the Loco Moco if my daughter hadn't been so excited about it -- and I'm glad I tried it. It was delicious! The description sounds overwhelming to the uninitiated: hamburger patty, rice, onion crisps, mushroom gravy with actual mushrooms, green onions and topped with two sunny side up eggs. It all worked together. Every bite was flavorful and delicious! So good. The portions are very generous - my daughter and I split 1 order, because we were planning for dessert at another restaurant in Oakley Kitchen. You could order 1 as an individual and likely have leftovers. It was my first visit to Oakley Kitchen. Parking was plentiful and easy. Not crowded at all in a Sunday afternoon. I'll be back!

Always nice to find a Hawaiian cuisine so far inland !! And they are very good too!! Saw a lot of carry out and delivery orders being picked up.

OMG. Wow, just wow. The teriyaki beef is incredible, the grilled shrimp is some of the best, and the Kahlúa pork was really juicy and yummy! The potato salad was a great complement. The waiter was super kind and friendly, and the ambience was bright and clean. I can't wait to come back next time we're in town! Reasonable prices as well for a great experience.

Was at one of the many festivals in Cincy and bumped Into this small gem in downtown Cincy. The servers here were very hospitable from the moment you sit down to when they're bringing your food to when you're leaving they're really great. The food was even better than the service. I had the Hawaiian barbecue chicken and the teriyaki steak with the Mac salad on the side. The flavors were great very well seed and enough portions to eat too but I'm fat so I ate the whole thing and can I say that I am full but most of all Very Very Happy would definitely go back and try the many variety of foods they have.

I was in search of a chill dinner spot for family and friends, and Onolicious Hawaii was recommended to me. The décor was very inviting, bright, and colorful. The tv on the wall was being used as a moving picture frame of sorts. There were surfing clips playing throughout dinner. I wonder if the staff would put local and popular sporting events on the tv when they occur. If so, I could see myself visiting for dinner and staying to watch a game. Anyway, we used the QR code on the table to order. The only critique I have about this comes from my mother and one of her friends. They are in their 60s and noted that, if myself and my friend hadn't been there to navigate the menu and ordering process, they may have left and picked a different restaurant, simply because the process seemed so confusing. As a millennial, I found the process quite simple but I understand how it could be confusing. I'd hate for an entire part of the population to miss out on this great food for something as trivial as the ordering process. There was a checkout computer on the counter. There may be a way to order at the counter, instead of over the phone. IDK. The food was great. I had the spicy Kahuku shrimp plate, which wasn't really spicy at all. It was breaded and fried but tasted fresh at the same time. My mother had the shoyu chicken, which was also quite tasty. I'm not crazy about mayo based foods but many of the other sides have an up charge. We ordered the macaroni salad and the papaya salad. Of the 2, I'd go for the papaya salad. It was light and not mayo based. Another thing I liked was the portion sizes. The portions were filling but not overkill. All in all, I could see myself returning in the future. You should check it out!!
