This is my second time at Malama Pono, and I’m just as impressed as the first time! The food is absolutely amazing everything melts in your mouth 🤤 I also want to highlight the owner, such a kind and caring person. You can tell they really put their heart into this place. It’s the kind of spot you just want to keep coming back to 😍

Food was delicious, very flavorful and presentation on all was pretty & exceptional. Service, once at resturant was excellent, also, the ambience is nice. My only complaint is, thus the missing star. I left three voice messages, with my call back number, regarding my reservation. No one ever called me back, I had to physically go in regarding the matter. But everything was so yummy, I'll be returning. Just a few pictures of the six items that my friend and I ordered.

Want a daring new restaurant with a modern menu and an old school feel? This is Malama Pono where the second we walked in with no reservation we felt like Ohana. I highly recommend sharing everything because it's all crazy delicious no Cap! The 3 of us started our culinary adventure with 2 types of Crispy rice, moved into the Yellowtail Ceviche, then tempura Cauliflower, Potatoes Bravos, before we topped it off with the short rib fried rice. If your up for a start to your Saturday night I highly suggest sharing a bottle of iichiko Shochu which was absolutely delicious with a Blueberry Vanilla Ice cream..you really can't go wrong with anything. The incredible staff Matt and Tate make time to talk with all the guests giving a very friendly and old school kind of dining environment.

Great secluded Hawaiian place, secluded on Ventura blvd. Fried rice appetizer is amazing, and main courses are balanced. Great atmosphere too!

Good flavor, especially the scallops. More of a fine dining experience in terms of portions, although a bit hard to hear and see those we came to eat with.
