ʻOno Kitchen & Bar - (Near Bellingham, WA)

5 /5 Tony McGarry: For lunch, we had the mahi burger and mahi plate. Both choices were considered excellent. The mahi burger was the best fish burger I had ever had. My partner said her mahi plate was most excellent and we both really enjoyed the tropical flavors in these dishes. We also enjoyed the spring rolls with sweet chili sauce. They were excellent. I like that they had salad option instead of fries with the burger plate. The dining room was rather dark so we sat close to the window. Service was good and we will return another time to try another dish.

5 /5 William Maier: For a restaurant which currently averages just above a 4.2 on Google right now, it punches above its weight. We ordered two cocktails the ube bee and the coffee martini and two shareables, bao buns (with tofu) and the humus plate. Each item was excellent. Cocktails were well balanced with the coffee martini highlighting strong flavors of coffee and chocolate, with a very refined micro foam, the ube cocktail was delicious with and the yuzu and coconut flavors complemented each other well. The smoky humus and taro chips were also equally delicious and the bao buns had a lot of different flavors and textures to enjoy, from the sweet sour profiles in the salsa, nicely pickles onions, and a cabbage slaw that in combination with a soft chewy bun creating a wonderful balance of soft, crunchy, chewy textures and great flavors. This is a clearly a location that puts care and thought into the food. Vegetables were all crisp and fresh, the kitchen was kind enough to substitute tofu for meat for the bao buns. The murals and art in the location give it a engaging and interesting aesthetic feel that would not be out of place in a little restaurant in Brooklyn.

5 /5 S King: Who knew you could find a little slice of Hawaii in downtown Bellingham? I love the atmosphere here its very relaxed and open and the service is terrific. The food is very tasty although vegetarians might find the menu a little limited. This restaurant is also dog friendly. I highly recommend Ono Kitchen in downtown Bellingham

5 /5 Louis Nottingham: This my favorite restaurant and bar in Bellingham. Ive been going here for years and its the most consistently delicious food and cocktails in town. Their bowls and ramen are spectacular and the presentationis always so beautiful. Every cocktail has unique flavors that knock my socks off. Lastly, their kitchen serves food until 2 am, 7 days a week, which is so rare. The servers are super nice and knowledgeable, and they clearly love the place too. Go here.

5 /5 Aaron Brown: I never give all 5 stars. I never have. The ramen could start a religion. The Ube’ bee cocktail was divinely crafted with care by our bartender Ru. The Bao bun tacos made me want to move in. Super chill place with melt your brain good food. Seriously. Not joking.
