It's a beautiful thing when a restaurant in a great location comes with it all: trendy interior, full bar, delicious food, sizeable menu and wonderful waiters, chefs and hosts. Whether you're having a deal-clenching business meeting, a blind date or your first experience with sushi, you can rely on a relaxing and satisfying dining experience at Ono's. The choice of sushi rolls is staggering; the sheer volume could keep a person coming back for more. From the California roll (whose popularity is rapidly surpassing the taco in this neck of the woods) to other generous hand-rolls filled with salmon, tuna and shrimp, Ono's food is as good as it looks. The Baja roll, topped with seared ahi, is a must. Sit at the bar for a good view and lively chatter. Besides sushi -- and remember that "Ono" means "delicious" in Hawaiian -- the other component to this restaurant is its Pacific flair. With tapas and entrees that include a fantastic lobster ravioli, ahi poki, Szechwan beef and sesame-seeded shrimp, the Pacific Rim fusion works perfectly. The full bar is a popular weekend spot, serving Japanese beers, the obligatory sakes, great wines and martinis.

Not Just Plain 'ol fish!!
By bugatti46 on 04/24/2006
Our chef was relatively new to Ono and it was our first visit. We have enjoyed Sushi all over the country for the last 35 years and finally found some energy and imagination! Prices are on the stiff side but the creativity was fresh, new and abundant! The best sashimi I have EVER had. Give the guy a budget and let him cut loose. I wish I remembered his name...ask for the "new guy" worth it!!

chic sushi
By sounddilemma on 07/04/2004
kealoha5 said it best, but I think the prices are a tad bit up there. The quality of the food makes up for the price. Very cool decor and the music is VERY chic!
