Ono Hawaiian Food
Cramped and always busy, Ono gets lots of tourist business (it's been in a lot of guidebooks, and renowned chef and TV star Anthony Bourdain at there and loved it), but maintains a strong local following, too. You know it's really Hawaiian because the combo plates come with a small cup of raw onion and alaea salt. The bumboocha laulau are worth the inevitable time you spend waiting on the bench outside. The laulau are not only full of meat, but also equipped with that all-important little chunk of fat and more luau leaf than you usually get. The chicken long rice and tripe stew are saltily addictive. When the poi is two-day, they tell you. The lomi salmon is chunky and crisp, not watery, and the kalua pig from HPC Foods is imu-cooked.
