We ordered a 1.5 panko fish with upgrade to onion rings for 2 adults to share. Amazing, the food arrived piping hot with crispy edges. Even when it cooled down, nothing was soggy.

This place is quite unique, it’s more of a shack with some tables outside, but don’t let that fool you. The food here is AMAZING. You looking for Ono fish? This place has got you, and the Fish and Chips are amazing. Perfectly fried, though we could only get the panko friend, they were out of the beer batter. The Ono fish tacos are amazing too, the pineapple slaw will help ensure the taco doesn’t feel too dry. You also might get a few friends walking by, as they have chickens and a rooster, as well as a cat.

We are driving on the highway to the Green Sands Beach, everyone was hungry so this stop was a very good find for us.

The fish and chips are divine, I went with the beer-battered option. Also had the Ono Nachos which were just as amazing. The Server was very friendly and service was quick. My party sat outside and it was a beautiful garden paradise. 5/5 across the board. Don’t miss out on this restaurant gem of Hawaii.

The fish & chips are a must! Panko fries with sweet fries & onion rings, topped with homemade spicy tartar=divine! The service was GREAT! & atmosphere absolutely stunning! Eating with views of greenery, pineapples growing & roosters singing. I can’t think of anything better !

A decent place for lunch. Self service for sodas and place your tray after you eat.

I love this spot! The food was fresh and flavorful and not the same as every other restaurant throughout Kona. Everyone in my party was full and satisfied with their meal. The service was on point. We especially enjoyed the music who was playing during our lunch! Definitely will return!

Great food and friendly staff. The onion rings were a great appetizer. The fish and chips were good. And the cheeseburger was good. The portions were generous, as well.

I can’t say enough about this place, everything we had was amazing, from the grilled fish to the poke nachos (highly recommended). The 1 1/2 serving size is enough for 2. The freshest fish I’ve had. The pineapple slaw is a must.
