Ohana Dish

Im glad they opened up again. I just found out they moved to downtown. Their fried saimin is the best I had. Everything else is delicious too. I will be going often

Tried this place this week and I got the chicken katsu curry regular size plate lunch for $ 9, pretty reasonable considering it’s in downtown. The food establishment is very open and seems very clean. The workers are (very) Japanese and quite polite. The curry itself was delish! I got my plate lunch with mac salad; I’ve had better mac salad, but it wasn’t bad or terrible, I just had better. Def will be back again, to try something new or probably will get katsu curry again! Haha. Also, this place is cash only (for now atleast).

The only thing open other than McDonald’s … And chicken Katsu curry is one of my favorite dishes. This is my second time visiting Ohana Dish and I could have swore I wrote a review before but oh well… This place is a small clean mom and pop owned business. The prices are reasonable at $ 8 bucks for a regular plate. It comes with Mac or Toss salad, I like to be able to choose. So that’s a plus for me. I’ll definitely be back for another Katsu Curry fix.

It’s awesome to have a restaurant with this quality of food and priced right. I enjoyed the oyako donburi. The staff and owners are very friendly, they greet you when arrive and thank you when you leave.

Zoiks. There are not enough Saturdays in my life.
All right, maybe it wasn’t the healthiest decision to order mac salad to go with my nanban chicken because it’s traditionally topped with tartar sauce. Had I known I’d get that much sauce I would’ve considered going tossed. But I always like to try mac salad whenever a new place pops up.
Ohana Dish is a few doors up from Marukame Udon on Fort Street Mall. I like that they are open on Saturdays because most mom & pop eateries in the downtown business district only open for the busier weekday crowds. So it’s best to go soon before they decide to stop Saturday lunch service as I’ve seen other places in the area discontinue weekend service. It saddens me that downtown Honolulu is dead to the world on weekends. If it’s any consolation I noticed more foot traffic nowadays compared to before.
Nanban Chicken ($ 9 tax included): Two generous portions of sliced chicken katsu placed on top of sweet sauce, which to me tasted like tentsuyu (tempura dipping sauce.) Topped with healthy dollops of homemade tartar sauce which contained lots of finely minced onions, cornichon pickles and pulverized boiled eggs.
The plate could’ve used more rice but I still had leftovers. The chicken was cooked to perfection. The crispy, breaded panko complements the tender soft bites of chickenny goodness. I have to rate it 3 out of 5 Stars because after awhile the sauce on the bottom made the chicken soggy and it was a little too much tartar sauce for my liking. It would’ve made a really good chicken katsu though.
The mac salad is pretty standard. A little undercooked for my liking. It was light on the mayo which I appreciated and it had chopped carrots, finely diced and riced potatoes and a detection of Japanese mustard a.k.a. neri karashi.
I want to go back and explore their other menu items like the garlic chicken and toriten. I did not see tempura on their menu so maybe it’s a daily special? I like that they also open til the early evening hours on the weekdays so I can do take-​out should I ever have any late afternoon appointments on the occasion that I do make my way to this part of town.
Parking a plenty at munincipal lots, particularly Kukui Plaza on Saturdays (50¢ every 30 minutes on weekends.) It’s just a short little stroll everybody could use in their life.
Tip: Cash Only. And DO NOT confuse this place with Ohana Bento & Sushi that’s further up the mall. It’s two entirely different businesses.

Looks like a new place opened up on Fort St Mall. Opted to have their Chicken Katsu Curry. Portions were smaller than other katsu curry places but they did provide a side of salad. There is a decent amount of comfortable seating on the inside if you choose not to take out.

So disappointed. Was ono for garlic chicken but the line at Fort St Café was out the door… So, came here & tried their garlic chicken. Lesson learned… It tasted nothing like garlic chicken. More like fried chicken with sweet sour ketchup sauce. It was freshly made but it tasted gross. I couldn’t even finish it, just threw it away. Service was ok. Cash only. I may go back but I will try something else.

I just took one bite of their Garlic Chicken! Awesome taste and flavor! It is good to see a fresh new face in the Fort Street mall area.

So far all the food I’ve gotten to eat from here is yummy. Bbq chicken with curry, love it. Their tempura is a light and crispy, as well as anything fried that comes out of this place, fried yet not greasy. Tried their ginger pork, light ginger taste to tender pork. They also have tofu doughnut thingys which are moist and light.

Yay! one of my favorite places is back as Ohana Dish it was formally Ohana Lunch where all the dishes were under $ 7 well they are back of course a bigger place so prices are a bit higher but not expensive the food? well I have to say it was like it was before which i am so happy!
the Menu has evolved a bit but is basically the same they added a few to the menu and lost the Liver, Liver? Yuck you say? well when they did have it the picture looked so good and I had tried everything on their former menu that was the only thing left so I had to try it (i had horrid thoughts of dry fried liver and having to smother it with ketchup as a kid due to the taste) so i was prepared for that torture but I was soo surprised I actually liked it the way they made it! so although they don’t have it on the menu anymore oh well but they have some new items! the food is tasty reasonably priced and now in a location on Fort Street Mall insuring that they have a lot of traffic. I was happy that they remembered me from eating at their old Pensacola St location and that the food was like i remembered that now I’m going to have to make the trek to Fort Street Mall to eat every once in a while.

This place is wonderful! I came across their place because I was tired of dropping my money into L&L. So I figure, Ima try this place out. They are super friendly&nice. They NEVER miss. I always get Chicken Katsu Curry with mac salad. It is delish. The katsu is crunch, not burnt & the curry is exactly how it should be. My one minor problem is the portions are a TAD bit small. But they are cheap, the food is good & the small portion isnt enough to keep me away (: I rather support local & help a family out then some place like L&L who dont appreciate business but rather take my money. THANK YOU OHANA DISH! Ill be back.

They just opened 1 month ago on Fort Street Mall. I was so very glad to see the restaurant owners again and they too were really happy! My coworkers and I missed ordering their food before but last thing we know they were no longer located on Pensacola St and King St. nearby Kaiser Permanente. Theyre the most awesome beautiful couple and owners of this restaurant. I love their food quality and utmost very great excellent customer service! I enjoyed the atmosphere as always and same til now. They only accept cash for now and they dont have a telephone yet but temporarily they are still working on getting one.
Their breakfast and lunch selections are that delicious! its a must try and reasonable prices for sure! Will be coming back asap

This is Japanese-​style food. They have excellent katsu, chicken or pork, coated with panko, cooked perfectly, and non-​oily.

This place used to be near McKinley High School and was called Ohana Lunch. I was so disappointed when they closed down because their food was amazing. They have some great plate lunches for $ 10 and under. In fact, none of their dishes are over $ 10!
