Yummy

Good food, good prices. Highly recommend the kahlua pork and korean chicken. Definitely a good spot to go and pick up lunch for a nice change of pace from your typical teriyaki shop fare.

Great food but not cheep

They have great Hawaiian food but I was turned off by the prices.

It was like a tourist being gouged at one of those fake luaus you go to the first time you go to Hawaii.

There are much more better places in town with a better value for your buck.

Staff was friendly. Service was good.

With all of the great Hawaiin Restaurants in the area, this was OK overall.

Those who are gushing over this place must not get out much. Just like the tourist who visits Hawaii and stays at Waikiki, has a great time, but goes nowhere else. Then thinks thats all there is to Hawaii. Boy are they wrong! There is much more. Just like there are much better Hawaiin Restaurants.

• Pros: Good Food
• Cons: Price, Value

OK, not especially ono

We went to Noho's for the first time since moving here from Kauai a few years ago. No lau-lau, no kalua pork, no oxtail soup, not much fish, NO POI, and out of saimin. Our lunch wasn't bad and the service was really good (plenny aloha!) but pretty pricy for plate lunch. Flavors seemed adjusted for west coast taste, not better or worse, but different from what we were used to on Kauai.

• Pros: Service
• Cons: No Hawaiian staples, how can they not have

Pretty Good Food

by lilium at Citysearch

The noodle dishes seem to come with TONS of noodles, a couple of pieces of veggi's, and some meat but not enough to compete with the noodles. I would like it better if they took half of the noodles away and added 20X the vegetables. However it is very salty, sugary, oily, and expensive so I only go there a couple of times a year.

• Pros: flavorful food, huge portions, cozy atmosphere
• Cons: expensive, unhealthy, not enough vegetables

Size versus substance

by jamidwyer at Citysearch

Nothing's duller than a whining vegetarian, but here goes. The yakisoba is billed as a "mound of noodles and vegetables." Should be "mound of noodles, and a vegetable or two." If your criterion for great food is sheer mass, this is your place. But be warned: you pay for it.

ono, ono, ono

Great place for plate lunch food but be prepared to shell out some money. Whateva happened to $5 plate lunches??? Oh, they're at L&L's.

• Pros: ono, mac salad
• Cons: prices, prices, prices

Ono grinds! Cheap eats-NOT!

This is great traditional "plate lunch" hawaiian style food. But traditional Hawaiian prices, it is not. The mac salad is to die for as is the rest of the food---takes me back to Hawaiia. But they are not the only game in town serving plate lunch specials. Prices are too expensive compared to the competition. And the service and speed at which your food arrives needs much help. Don't get me wrong, I love their food, just not worth going out of your way for it. Mahalo...

• Pros: Food, Authenticity
• Cons: Prices, service
