As others have said, this place serves up fresh, tasty fish (fried and grilled) in a fun, laid-back, and amusing atmosphere! Great food and good prices. We had the onion rings for an appetizer, the fish and chips, and an ono melt. So yummy and large enough portions for two smaller meals!

Stopped in for a bite after a morning snorkel. We had the poke nachos and the ono tacos - both were as excellent as the service! The fresh squeezed orange juice samples already have us looking forward to our next visit. Thanks!

What a great local place.. loved it . 4 of us ate the battered Ono and chips. Poke nachos grilled fish tacos and dakine burger. We had the chips and salsa appetizer as well as trying the pineapple coleslaw.. big portions. Hot fresh food and the fish was really delicious. Stop and try it you won't be disappointed

Parking: Great local spot.. our waitress was brand new and didn't know the menu. But the food was amazing

The food was super good. We got the fish and chips and did the one and a half order to share as recommended on their menu. It was a good amount of food and a great shareable size. I did lower their “service” stars for the following reason. We had a little bit of a drive to get there and saw the gps said we’d be getting there 30 minutes before they closed. We didn’t want to be “those people” who walk in right at closing and make everyone stay later than everyone wanted to so our plan was just to get it to go. It was pretty obvious they were annoyed that we had walked in. I get it but at the same time, google said they were open for another 30 minutes. I’d go again and even recommend it to others I just couldn’t give them 5 stars on service because of this.

Update: New management/owners. Quality is not as it used to be. The best dish that was offered there, the baked Ono, isn't available any longer, grilled fish is a little dry, fish and chips is greasy but portions are generous.
(Original review)Relaxed ambiance, very good food and happy servers. However, what makes this place so fantastic is the baked Ono! ...'nuf said!

We had a good meal here. We wanted to get the grilled fish but it was out so we had the Pineapple Cilantro Ono Fish Tacos instead. With it we had the house salad, sweet potato fries, Pineapple Cole Slaw and a mango passion fruit smoothie. They were all tasty.
Note: There is an extra 4% added to your bill if you use a credit card to charge it.

Vegetarian options: They have vegetarian burgers. They also have salads, Cole slaw, smoothies, french fries and sweet potato fries.

Our food was so delicious! I highly recommend the poke nachos, which today was ahi. We had extra poke on ours and it was very generous. The fish tacos were also very tasty. The staff was fun and kind to our 7 year old grandson. Aloha!!

Kid-friendliness: The waitress was very accomodating to our grandson.

Good food, reasonable price, nice environment. Went twice, all the food was tasty. But when they're busy it takes a LONG time to get your food.

Literally THE BEST food and service we’ve had since we got here. This is the holy grail we’ve been looking for on fresh local caught fish and local sourced goods. 10/10 highly recommend

The absolute nicest people, amazing food and the ambiance couldn’t be better at sunset! Mahalo for staying late for us.

A great spot to stop for lunch and enjoy the lush vegetation and plants. It was a rainy day when we were there and it was so peaceful. My husband and I shared the 1.5 portion of fish and chips and it was plenty and delicious. We also ordered a side of the pineapple coleslaw and it was so good! So happy we chose to stop here.
