   All their food is amazing, especially the misoyaki butterfish! Also a solid wine list that is reasonably priced. The servers are all so friendly and made my wife feel special on her birthday with a complimentary dessert and a personalized nice card when we arrived. Cheers to Pono and come support this awesome spot with an Asian influenced menu

   Fabulous food (although a bit over priced IMO) . But great for a special occasion.

   Everything was wonderful, the butterfish delicious and the lilikoi jelly on the crab cakes was perfect. Lovely hidden gem.

   Amazing food and top notch service! Excellent hospitality delivered by everyone on the team! If you don’t dine here, you’re missing out! The fried chicken and caviar is out of this world! The crab cakes and albacore tataki are an amazing combination. You really can’t go wrong with anything on the menu. Can’t wait to dine again.

    Food was fabulous again. The butterfish melted in our mouths. Chef Preston knocks out of the park every time! We both don’t eat fish anywhere else
