DELICIOUS!!! Honestly some of the best poke I’ve ever had (I eat a ton). Very high quality fish / ingredients, amazing atmosphere, and super friendly staff! Been here 2x during my Chicago trip and wish I could take it back with my to TX. Highly recommend!

Cute poke spot with fresh ingredients and a super nice staff to match the vibe. Make your own poke bowl is really easy – I feel like you can never go wrong.

Food is fresh and tasty in general. But the rice is kind of dry and not thoroughly cooked. The miso soup is just slightly warmer than room temperature. For Asian soup, it is not the right temperature.

Set in a laid-back oasis, savor the freshest fish, generous portions, and a medley of toppings. With a friendly and relaxed staff, a touch of natural ambiance, and a soothing atmosphere, Pono Ono is the perfect spot for poke lovers seeking a blissful and satisfying meal!

Chic spot to get poke bowls with an extraordinary atmosphere. Workers are down-to-earth and create a welcoming environment in the establishment. Poke bowls lacked the heavy sauces that are often drizzled on top, making for a different but refreshing experience. All ingredients used were high quality and prices were fairly reasonable for the area.

Best Poke Place ever! Kind of hidden but follow the good music and vibes to find all this:

Ordered for pickup & they forgot toppings (literally included on the set menu and not even an add-on especially the avocado which is in most bowls). Really disappointed, should not have to dine in to get attention to details and quality if I am paying more.

I love going here, the staff is always great and the food is amazing. I just revised from 5 star to 1 star because of this. I was so hungry and I expected an actual portion for what I paid for and I get a half empty bowl. It looks like I already ate from it…

8/16/19 – This was our first visit. Pono Ono is a great poke restaurant. We felt like we were back in Hawaii. I ordered the Citrus Salmon Signature Bowl (medium size) and it was fantastic. My wife had the Traditional Tuna Poke Sampler. Both were very fresh with a great crisp taste. That said, my wife preferred my Citrus Salmon better. We highly recommend Pono Ono. The staff was friendly and offered up suggestions when asked about the menu choices. We will definitely return the next time we’re in town.
