Hawaiian Restaurants near Tempe, AZ

“This is why I shop local!! Been meaning to check them out and I picked up a Maui plate with mac salad and katsu chicken after work. Best mac salad I've ever had and the katsu chicken was so well breaded and delicious. Also was super quick and the amount of katsu chicken I got for 12 bucks was amazing.“

“The offerings are vast and the poke is delicious. The place is immaculate and affordable and it models a business be back consciouness about sustainability and the future of our environment and our planet.
Kudos. I'll be back often.“

“Great food and the owners are so nice“

“So many options of free toppings! I got three types of tuna for my poke bowl. The miso soup had plenty of tofu and was delicious, but it had excessive green onions. Service was quick, location was convenient for ASU staff, inside was clean. I'll be back!“

“We’ve had a few visits to Ono Hawaiian BBQ, and there are definitely some standout aspects—along with a few things that could be improved.

The biggest highlight is the quality of the meat. It really stands out and feels closer to what you’d expect from a good sit-down restaurant rather than a typical quick-service spot. The flavors are solid, portions are generous, and the proteins are consistently satisfying.

Where it falls short for us is the side dishes. We didn’t fully understand how the sides come with the combo meals, and the combination of cooked cabbage mixed with fresh vegetables and rice just didn’t quite work for us. The texture and balance felt a bit off, and it took away from what is otherwise a strong main dish.

That said, after looking at their website, it seems like they may have updated or expanded their side menu, which is great to see. If that’s the case, we’d definitely be open to giving it another try—because improving the sides would make a big difference.

Overall, it’s a place with great meat quality and solid value, but held back a bit by the sides. With some improvements there, it could easily become a regular go-to spot for us.

Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ (3.5/5)“

“Always high quality at a good price.“

“Food was delicious - chicken was seasoned perfectly and very tender. Emily was a great hostess - explained all the entrees and sides“

“We were greeted with friendliness when we walked in the door. The items on the menu were diverse and creative, with a mix of more standard fare. The food was delicious with an enjoyable mix of seasoning and well cooked fare. The wait was appropriate for the cuisine. A wholly pleasing experience.“

“Love all the options here--so many fresh add-ins!“

“Great food at a great price. Best Poke Bowl I have had yet“

“Restaurant was delicious! I ordered the Platter #1 and it was enough for 2 people at least!“

“Ordered takeout tonight and tried the teriyaki chicken, chicken katsu, kalbi, and orange chicken. The kalbi and teriyaki were easily our favorites, both packed with flavor and cooked perfectly. The mac salad was also a standout. Definitely a must-try spot!“

“I’ve heard about this new Hawaiian spot for awhile & we finally made it downtown to check them out.. I’m now regretting not trying them sooner!! Teriyaki steak was my fave, the pog juice was amazing & I was able to get me a haupia shaved ice 🤤😋❤️ thank you Loco Style Grindz we will be back & I 1000% recommend giving them a try!!“

“We tried AhiPoke at a tennis tourney and they gave out coupons so we decided to stop at the Chandler location. What a refreshing and light alternative to other “fast food”. Prices are decent, especially for the large portions. Will definitely visit again.“

“super good.. totally recommend 👌 🤤🤤“

“I come here quite often with my family. The food is always amazing and the portions are very fair.
Only reason I'm giving it only 4 stars is because the employees didn't seem happy to be there and while they were nothing bad they were more just...indifferent I would say is the best way to describe it. I recommend take out rather than eating in.
Just think there should of more energy around the place. I understand that someone times it's just a way to pay the bills but providing a happy atmosphere and service it's what keep people coming back the food too of course lo.“

“It wasn't bad and the food was good. The staff seemed all over the place at some points. I highly dislike when you give them your order and you tell them you want the appetizer out first and they still bring out everything altogether and then treat you like they don't need to check on you anymore and the appetizer is cold which tells you, it had been sitting there. Our waiter never really attended to us, never came up and asked if we needed refills or how the food was. I would go again on a different night to recheck my opinion.“

“This is a lucky find. The bbq beef has the enduring flavour of umame. It’s no wonder people are lined up out the door; they’re addicted!! It’s really like that ; you want to order it again after all you got left is an empty plate. But who’s going to do that. Huh?“

“Best Poke and friendliest staff in AZ!!“

“I have been here several times and have never been disappointed 💗 delicious poke, delicious katsu, delicious combo, yummy Hawaiian food! My husband LOVES the Mac salad and he doesn’t usually like it at other restaurants.

The owners are very welcoming .. feels like home.“

“The food is decent. Not what I would consider true Hawai'ian plate lunch. But good nonetheless.

I would suggest that you order online and pick up and eat in or out. It takes quite a bit of time getting your food order when you order through the self kiosk and/or the cashier.“

“We’ve tried a few poke places, and this is our favorite! Fresh ingredients, good portions, a nice variety, and friendly service. Even though other poke restaurants are closer to our house, we keep going to this one. I would have included a picture, but I’ve already finished eating the food.“

“I love the Hawaiian bbq experience!“

“This was my first time & it was so fun! Very friendly staff & great service. They check in with you often when you are in your day bed or sun chairs but will also find you if you are in the pool to make sure you still don’t need anything! I really liked that. The atmosphere was so fun & chill. The DJ played really great songs. Would recommend to friends or family!“
