Tokyo Restaurant Ogo Ono Loa Hawaii

Looking for an inexpensive place to eat authentic Hawaiian food? Looking for Tokyo Nightlife? Try the Tokyo Restaurant Ogo Ono Loa Hawaii in Akasaka. Get on the elevator to the 5th floor of the Isomura Building and you will find a very large can of Spam as you enter for some delicious Hawaiian food and drinks. I met the owner and chef Ryoji Soranaka, Hawaii ex-pat and found him to be easy to talk to. I took relatives who live in Tokyo there and we ordered the lunch special-2 choices for 1,100 Yen-very reasonable for authentic Hawaiian food. The Kalua Pig(roasted, shredded pork)was tender and with just the right amount of seasoning, served on a bed of shredded cabbage with a scoop of rice, and a bowl of Spicy tuna(cubed maguro and tobiko with a special mayonnaise base chili pepper sauce on rice), and a scoop of macaroni and potato salad.

Ryoji won the 2007 Hawaiian Poke Contest, so you know that spicy tuna bowl was good. Too bad they had just run out of their famous Loco moco(fried egg over a hamburger patty over rice, smothered with brown gravy)-we wanted to try it. The neighboring table had the last serving. After all, the Loco moco was invented by Mr. Miyashiro of Café 100 in Hilo, Hawaii. Beverages they serve included Kona Brewing Co. Longboard ale. Ryoji mentioned that they have more on the menu for dinner.

This Tokyo restaurant Ogo Ono Loa Hawaii quickly became a Travel Japan must stop for authentic Hawaiian cooking.
