“Hard to believe you can get such great sushi from a food truck. I’m partial to sashimi and it is always fresh, perfectly cut, and beautifully presented.“

“Awesome service!! And, the food was very delicious!!! Highly recommend!! Thank you☺️“

“The food is amazing! The staff is wonderful!“

“We were on island and craving noodles, asked around to find a more authentic hole-in-the-wall /grandma's kitchen type place, and this is it. No fuss, family kitchen counter style seating, cash only, limited menu (as in these are always the favorites, so don't fuss with the rest), and the quality is high. Between everyone in our group , we essentially sampled every dish on the menu and dessert, and everything was great. Glad we found this place by recommendation, and hope to guide more people to it.“

“New owner has turned this spot into the best drinks, menu and service on the Island. Ask Alyssa to mix you Bloody Mary! Awesome!“

I happened upon this quaint, friendly and fast place by accident. Located next to Inkspot, people drive by for a really quick and onolicious pickup. They offer 3 simple bentos that offer a quick but wide variety of food. Drop by to get your quick fix to start your day. They open at 6am. D, one of the owners was really informative and helpful. And the food offerings is what attracts your eye at their prices. Not overly huge but very reasonable and economical portions in these trying times. A nice niche option just minutes from anywhere in town and the airport. Onolicious! 😉🤙✌️“

“It was absolutely delicious! I can’t remember exactly what I ordered… Spicy Tofu with Charsiu and it was INCREDIBLE! Will have to visit again on another holiday!“
