The Ono Poke Reviews
This is hands down the best spot in Birmingham for poke! The food is consistently fresh, fast, and delicious, and the staff is always friendly and attentive. My go-to order is the crunch bowl with salmon--it's absolutely perfect every single time. The fries are another highlight--always hot, crispy, and fresh! The interior is clean and welcoming, with plenty of seating available. I can't recommend this place enough!
Simple and clean. Super easy to order. Yummy menu options that fit any diet. We had a birthday meal here at my kid's request. Great food!
The poke bowls are fantastic, great flavor and fresh ingredients. I'm really glad I've found this place and had no idea Birmingham had this one of a kind spot more native to Hawaii and the west coast. I had the ahi tuna bowl for my first visit with the sweet sauce and build your own ingredients. I especially liked the pineapple and cucumber. The only negative was it seemed to be several high school workers on the job who were less than enthused to be working. The soda machine was flat so I asked to have it changed and it took them about 10 minutes to get it fixed, nearly when our meals were finished. First world problems right. I'll be back for sure but maybe to get it to-go from now on.
Poke please I love a good poke bowl, especially when I'm looking for a lighter meal option, and Ono is my go-to. The Homewood location has such cute decor, especially the mural and huge neon sign. My fav is the crunch bowl and I usually get a large so that I can have seconds a little later. The Ono fries are also delish, they're flavorful on their own but I love dipping them in the sauce. I typically stop by for lunch and even with a steady flow of customers I'm usually in and out within 15 minutes. They're also really quick when I order delivery!
ve always been a big fan of Ono Poke, and today, we grabbed dinner at the Oxmoor location. Not many people were inside, so naturally, all of the workers were on their phones. Unfortunately, it's not the most reassuring to watch someone scroll on their phone and then immediately handle food (without hand washing after). We both built our own bowls, and it was the perfect amount. One of the bowls we ordered was missing 2 toppings, so we had to ask at the counter for a side of those toppings. The food tasted amazing; I always really enjoy what I order here. They started putting up chairs at 7:30, but they close at 8. I felt a bit rushed out. I never want to stay past my welcome, and I always try to be wary of ordering too close to a restaurant's closing time. I understand wanting to get home, but people were still eating inside. This location seems to be predominantly run by high school students, so maybe my expectations are a bit too high. The Poke is so good that I'm willing to look past other shortcomings, if you will.
