“First time eating here~Clicked:1. Pono BBQ Combo:The chicken is delicious!The barbecue is also good~ but the sauce is a bit too strong~It would be just right if you use dipping instead!2. Pono Seafood Combo - Pono Seafood Combo:It’s not bad to be able to eat barbecue and fried seafood at one time~Both of the above can make you quite full!There is a self-service recycling area next to you after eating!The clerk will also care about the food from time to time~The special place here is the bar! With outdoor venues ~It would be nice to come here for dinner and drinks in the evening!PS: If you like my comments, you can follow them~I will take photos of the appearance and color of the food I saw on site and present it to everyone. I will go to various places to discover delicious food and unique places! !I wish everyone’s wishes come true! “

“Needed some late night food and swung in here for some grub… The service was great and the food was amazing! We had a mix of asada tacos, fish tacos, breakfast burrito & a side of rice… My wife claimed the fish tacos were the best she’s ever had and the asada tacos were delicious! We’ll definitely return!“

“My family (wifey & our twin daughters) checked out this spot while on a getaway between Santa Cruz and Monterey back in January (2024). We were looking for a local spot and chose this place near the mall. Once inside, it felt like we were in a hood spot off the beach in Honolulu. The wifey and Twin A both ordered the Kai-Bi Short Rib plate, Twin B ordered the Pono Burger and I ordered the Mahi Mahi plate. Maaaaannnn, everything was delicious!! And the service was wonderful! This will be a go-to spot from now on!“
