From what I've seen, each one has a slightly different menu. The other thing is...you can get much better "local" food (that's how people from Hawaii refer to their local cuisine) at places like Shaka's on Garfield near I-10 in Monterey Park, Aloha Kitchen on Atlantic Bl. in Monterey Park, The Loft in Gardena, Kings Hawaiian (both the restaurant on Sepulveda and the take-out place on Western).IMHO, Ono Hawaiian Barbeque is horrible. Their kalua pork is way too salty and has no smoke flavor at all. All the other dishes I've tried there are definitely sub-par as well.Shaka's is the one I go to the most. They even bring in their lau-lau daily from Hawaii. And they authentic Hawaiian Shave (not shaved) ice...with Azuki beans, too (the whole beans not the sweet red bean paste [kintoki} that they used to have).

King's is good for desserts... chocolate dobash and hawaiian paradise cakes. Haven't been to Bruddah's in a long time, but used to go there for some good kalua pork and lau lau. I wonder if it's still good.... heard it's gone down hill over the past few years. I like L&L’s chicken teri plate. King’s is good for desserts… chocolate dobash and hawaiian paradise cakes.

When the Chinese, Japanese, Koreans and Hawaiians worked on the sugar plantations, they'd congregate at night markets and trade their own food. Koreans introduced kalbi ribs. Japanese brought chicken katsu. etc. They'd bring their food for lunch, and save the rest for dinner.
