When you’re ready to break free of the average resort food at Aulani… take a few steps next door to this place. We tried 5-6 of the menu items during our trip and everything was a hit.Note that they do not have indoor seating (they do have some outdoor seats, but not table service), we took all of our orders to go.

Such a wonderful find, only a short stroll from our resort! My sweetheart and I ate here three times and totally enjoyed the friendly service, healthy ingredients, generous portions and delicious food!Make sure to try their shaved ice, hands down the best by far we had on the island, topped with fresh fruit, condensed milk and coconut ice cream!! It was so so yummy and one is big enough for two to share. ??

Plate looks and taste excellent. We had 14 veggie salad and poke bowl. Highly recommend for casual dining

Delicious except for how the shrimp ? was prepared…shells, tail and all left on made for half my dinner spent peeling all the shrimp before I could eat.

Killer food or as we say in Hawai'i, Ono Grinds! Very creative and unique flavors. Beef curry is amazing and all tossed salad with interesting anchovy dressing. Also MUST try steak and garlic shrimp with pilaf. Cool dipping sauce.

It's a bit pricey but totally worth the money! Their picnic packages are all so gorgeous and delicious if you have 3 or more ppl together I definitely recommend these packages. If you're staying any resorts in the Ko'olina and you order $50 or more then they will deliver to your hotel for free too. Love this place n hopefully they're staying open for next year too.(they said they don't know yet since it's a pop up restaurant. )

Came here based on the other glowing reviews and can’t agree more. It’s the best kept secret in Ko Olina, everything was absolutely exceptional. Particular highlights were the curry dishes, loco moco, coconut mango shaved ice. One of the best and interesting katsu curries I’ve had. Maybe the best and I’m a big katsu curry chaser. Also forget about the famous shaved ice places on the island, this shaved ice puts those to shame and no one is even talking about it. We’ll be back probably every day the rest of our vacation for lunch. Love!!

This place is a little gem nestled among the Ko Olina resorts. If I understand correctly, it's a restaurant run by a wedding caterer out of the chapel due to the pandemic. They offer outdoor dining in addition to take out. You'll find the entrance to the right of Aulani (when you face Aulani) at the bottom of the chapel steps. Prices are more reasonable than resort food prices. Husband I got Japanese curry rice with shrimp and tonkatsu. We liked the food so much that we ate here a total of three times during our weeklong stay at Aulani. We also enjoyed the gourmet chopped salad, ASAP bowl, eggs omelet with beef stew/tomato pilaf, and mango shave ice. The shave ice is SO GOOD! My daughter and I shared it three times. Fine ice topped with chunks of mango and vanilla ice cream. So much better than Aulani's shave ice - no contest.

Had lunch there today. My wife had the KoOlina Chopped Salad and I had their chicken sandwich. Both were excellent. We will definitely eat there again.

Me and my wife are on our honeymoon in Hawaii and decided to eat here. They're food is delicious ? I had they're cheese burger with fries with a coke. They're hamburger pattie was really thick. The service was great. I would recommend anyone that is visiting Hawaii to try this place out. Keep up the good work.
