eats :: ono hawaiian foods

our brother first brought us here last year on our honeymoon and we fell in love with how fuss-free and interesting the food was. it reminded me incredibly of food from back home in its style and preparation. japanese cuisine is just so different!! plus, i always found the place to be suitably relaxed and friendly. 

so this time, we made it a point to go back again



their humble menu...


itty bitty serves of hawaiian local food. this one is their lomi salmon.
a refreshing salsa to go with rice.


lots of fresh watercress in our salted meat soup...


i had been craving this for months!!! :) 


the relaxed backdrop where we ate! 
the walls covered with celebrity pictures from back in the days...

oh ono, i can't wait to see you again in december!

    2. Perhaps it's the smile that does it for me! :) It's so similar to your momma's and you're both gorgeous! :))

      I also thought I looked like my dad growing up but perhaps people's faces change as they grow too, and some features become more prominent. I am 27 and have only now somehow developed my mom's dimples and freckles..haha
