Malama Pono Restaurant has been a neighborhood favorite since 2021, offering fresh food with amazing flavors. The staff is very helpful, making the dining experience special. The restaurant is known for the BEST crispy rice in town and serves delicious Hawaiian/Mexican/Asian dishes like steamed mussels and yuzu aguachile that will make your mouth water. Customers also praise the horseradish crusted mahi mahi, which is absolutely divine, and the generous portions of pan seared snapper with seaweed rice. The crab cake, uni crispy rice, and crispy cauliflower are highly recommended. The atmosphere is cozy and intimate, with a small patio that adds to the charm, although it is located right by the street. The service is genuine, polished, and deeply personal, making guests feel like family. The food is elevated with refined flavors, thoughtful presentation, and respect for ingredients true to their culture. Visitors appreciate the wonderful hospitality and presentation, which make every visit memorable. Despite being busy, the staff graciously accommodates guests and strives to make everyone feel welcome and special. Calling ahead for reservations is advised, as online systems can be unreliable.
