Ono Hawaiian plate lunches and saimin on Colonial Drive

Kalua pork and ahi poke both land near the top of most visitors' orders, plate lunch portions big enough to skip dinner. Saimin shows up too, the noodle soup that's more Hawaii diner comfort than anything else on this stretch of Colonial Drive.

It's closed Sundays, open the rest of the week into the evening. Reviewers keep calling it the best Hawaiian food in either Orlando or Tampa.

This is another place I’m coming back to when I’m visiting Orlando. The food was great and prices reasonable. They do add a 3% for the kitchen staff (FYI). But the food did come out fast, hot, and delicious. Lots of great options to choose from. Staff were friendly, welcoming and attentive. The place overall had a modern tropical feel with a good amount of seating. And lots of free parking and is located right off the main road.

Grabbed lunch here yesterday, service was amazing and the atmosphere was a vibe. Korean Chicken had to be my favorite and I also really enjoyed the Mac Salad. The garlic noodles were a bit plain but still enjoyable. Pork had some great flavor. I would definitely come back to Moa Kai, definitely think this place is underrated.

Absolutely astounding Hawaiian inspired eatery here in Orlando. If you are craving some well seasoned culinary creations that will have you screaming "Ono" then this place is it. Korean fried chicken, ribs, masubi, shrimp, tofu; their menu has a wide spread of varieties for practically everyone. Service and staff was EXTREMELY good. Very attentive and positive vibes from everyone. Shout out to our server who stayed on top of everything! Don't remember name but had brilliant Tattoos! All in all I would definitely give this place a shot, but come early or you might miss out on some of the crowd favorites such as the Kalbi ribs like we did on this visit! He māʻona ʻono! Thank you Moa Kai.

Sunday brunches is great for Hawaiian style with macadamia pancakes and loco moco. The only issue I have is this "Kitchen Appreciation" which charged 3%. This 3% was not on my initial bill before tipping. I saw this 3% charge afterwards the bills which changed my thoughts. Overall its a delicious Hawaiian brunch spot.

First time dining here and we loved every dish we ordered! Exceptional service, beautiful ambiance, and everything was spotless and inviting. The wide open seating with a great view made the experience even better. We’ll definitely be back!
