Casual spot for delicious food! The musubi is a must-try, it’s my favorite thing on the menu but everything on the menu is great! I drive in and out of Oxford frequently and the musubi is one of my favorite road-friendly meals on the way out of town. The bbq chicken is amazing and also a must-try, it’s a very fruit-forward bbq flavor which is unique and delicious. Definitely give this spot a try!
Great food and super friendly service. Loved the garlic fish. I do wish they would provide plates for people dining in.
The food is delicious! We enjoyed the chicken bowl, the loco moco, and chicken katsu. The lumpia is incredible! I highly recommend!
Food is fresh and hot, reminds me of home. Cashier was very attentive and welcoming. All the food was good. Tips: play an island music playlist, serve Portuguese sausage, eggs and rice. 11/29/2023 Still enjoy this place. Comfortable atmosphere and good service. Mini kalua pork and a spam musubi is the prefect amount of food. 5/18/2023 Mixed plate is always good. I go with the katsu and kalua pork combo. I need a carb nap now. 1/5/2024 Still good. Tried the BBQ cheeseburger this time. Pretty good. Fresh vegetables for a refreshing crunch. No one here since college semester hasn't started yet. They have a discount going on right now to encourage folks to place an order.
Our first time visit today, and it was so good! I enjoy smoked meats, and the Kahlua pork delivered a great balance of flavor. We also enjoyed the Chicken Katsu curry style. I believe you can't go wrong with any menu item here. My wife and I will definitely be back.
WOW! The service was amazing! The food was absolutely delicious! I haven’t been to Hawaii in over 10 years and it definitely took me back. My sister just recently moved here from Hawaii about a year ago, I think this definitely reminded her of back home! I’m so glad we have this amazing option in Oxford!! We ate our actual food before we could take any pictures. So here is the dessert which was gone in 2 seconds as well! Update: We ordered 100ish of food for delivery a couple of weeks ago. Everything was correct, nothing was missing and it was all DELICIOUS!!
Ohana is great. Hawaiian food isn't something I'm personally very familiar with, but it does share some cultural overlaps with Japanese food, which I love. Check out the menu, and see if anything sounds good to you. Whatever you order will be served within a few minutes, hot and fresh, and at a good price given the huge portions. (Maybe I've just got a small stomach.) Highly recommend.
Trying Hawaiian food for the first time I was excited to come here. Entering I was welcomed by Christina who I want to point out was extremely friendly and very professional! She helped me pick out the favorites and made sure I was taken care of with her good knowledge of the menu. I got the spam musubi and mixed plate meat with chicken and beef. The spam musubi was aesthetic and fresh. I actually loved it! The plate was great as well. Rice was well cooked and the chicken was thin and crispy which is how I like cutlets. The beef was nothing special. The Mac salad was very tasty with a tuna twist. The sauces with them were very complimenting as well. They offer numerous Hawaiian drinks which I downed. Overall I would definitely recommend giving this place a try!
