Ono Kine Grindz

Hawai’ian food is not a familiar food option here in the dramatically colder northern Midwest, but Ono Kine Grindz and its passionate taste of the Pacific has clearly been converting folks and expanding horizons. The Tosa restaurant’s menu features items ranging from the Kalua pig – traditional Hawai’ian pulled pork – to Chinese style barbecued chicken to ahi tuna to saimin – ramen done Hawai’ian style – and more. And they’re all big hits, judging by Ono Kine Grindz’s performance in the poll, nabbing 100 more votes than the next closest restaurant, Glorioso’s.l
