Umeke Market - Honolulu

Nourishing, delicious, and restorative, Pono is the perfect choice for a meal after a tough day battling at the nearby Capitol, Courthouse, or other symbol of colonization. This restaurant offers real warrior food that fuels and strengthens the soul. Some top picks include the unforgettable Nachos, kalo stew, and spring rolls. They also offer discounted day-old musubi for a quick and budget-friendly refuel. Plus, where else in downtown Honolulu can you find a Kū Kia’i Mauna flag hanging proudly behind the counter? This alone deserves 5 stars for atmosphere. Don't just take my word for it – give it a try. If you're a vegan warrior interested in trying new places, Pono is the perfect starting point. Kū Kia’i Mauna!

The restaurant offers delicious and unique menu options. The cinnamon buns are incredibly delicious. The staff is very friendly. I had a great experience and highly recommend this place!

The staff at the restaurant were extremely welcoming and provided excellent recommendations for dishes. I especially liked the pesto pasta salad. Parking is available at a rate of 75 cents per 30 minutes at the Alii Place parking structure across the street on Alakea. However, I found the dining area to be slightly sticky.

This place is most my favorite place. I can feel/ taste I I vibes

As a non-vegetarian, I must say that the dining experience at this restaurant was fantastic, matched by the friendly service. Instead of attempting to imitate meat, their dishes (I tried 6) were delicious in their own right. I highly recommend this place for carnivores, as well as vegetarians, of course.
