Wonderful all the way around and worth every penny. From order to pick up, the experience was easy, clear and professional. We ordered the roast duck, char siu pork, bok choy, noodles and siu mai dumplings. It was all exceptionally delicious! Perfectly cooked, tender, juicy and good portions. This will become a regular for us and we will be back. Highly recommend!

Excellent dim sum and Chinese food. Probably some of the best I have ever had. Everything was so good that we wished we had ordered more. Pro-Tip: order pickup time 11:30am or later, some items were not ready right when they opened at 10:30am. Located at the back of Heritage Hall.Parking: Parking lot at the back of Heritage Hall.

This is the best food we have had while in Maui. Everything was so delicious and thoughtfully made. We will be eating here every time we are on the island.

Absolutely fantastic roast pork and char siu. Perfect blend of crispy skin, juiciness, flavorful marinade and high quality pork. The shumai, dumplings, bun and shrimp toast were also really good. Will go out of my way to get on our next trip to Maui.

We ordered a feast and were delighted with everything. BBQ pork was a particular favorite. We'll do it again --- Hana Hou!

Having been to Only Ono for dim sum countless times I am ashamed that this is my first review. Keith and Toni, the chef proprietors, are the nicest people you will meet BUT let's talk about the dim sum! In a word it is TERRIFIC and as good as any we have had even in Hong Kong. The Siu Mai, Crispy Pork Belly, Char Siu, Char Siu Bao (Manapua), Chicken Curry Puffs (totally addictive), Dan Tat, Gao Gee, Lo Mai Fan and everything else on the menu is delicious. We go on Saturdays to their location at Heritage Hall in Paia (order ahead online) where one can go for pick up. We just sit in our car and eat right there to get it at its best. We are on Maui several months a year and the Saturday journey to Paia for Only Ono's dim sum is one of our highlights. Only Ono has set up a booth at the Sunday Kahului market and various other places so be sure to find one of them. Exquisite in every way.

All my husband and I do is, survive through the week and look forward to stuffing our faces with delicious dimsum every Saturday. Amazing, amazing roasted meats and dimsum. I do not even know where to start and on what because we order absolutely everything. Whatever we do not finish, we keep it for dinner. We do not even attempt to bring the food home before we dig into it, we bring a tray with our cutleries, a container of sri racha and we get the Maui Chili Oil which is great on the dimsum. We start eating in the car immediately after getting our food. Our favourites are definitely the Char Siu, Crispy Pork Belly, Curry Chicken Puff, Siu Mai, Gao Gee, Chive Dumpling, Jung, Lo Mai Fan, Manapua, Eggtarts, Bolo Bao, Gin Dui and even the Red Bean baos. Like I said, we love everything. We know the difference and are pretty fussy eaters. We are in Hong Kong a lot, San Francisco Chinatown for dimsum a lot, in Singapore and Malaysia every year. So yes, we get to eat delicious dimsum all around the world, delicious roasted meats too all around the world. Toni and Keith's food...definitely on par with the top places all over. PHENOMENAL Chinese food you just have to try to believe your eyes. We buy extra boxes of Manapua and chicken curry puff to bring with us to the mainland. That's how much we cannot live without Only Ono's delicious food.

Only Ono is a must-try if you find yourself in Maui! Incredible food, friendly staff, and reasonable prices. Aside from the perfectly crispy pork belly, the shrimp toast is unbeatable. Mahalo!

Wow! They make cha siu and siu yok that competes with the best of shops in Hong Kong. Siu yok has just the right crunch and great flavor. The cha siu bao and other baked goods are excellent. Roast duck is great too. On top of the great food, the people running it are extremely friendly and professional. Thank you for a great meal!! We will be back for sure. Have already told several local friends about it. Be prepared to order ahead and know it is take out only.

We've been seeing the reviews and glad we hit this place at the Sunday Night Market. We tried the Char Siu but opted for a pound of the crispy pork belly. It was delicious but just a tad on salty side. Great with the Chinese mustard or tabasco.

This place is so ridiculously good. It's like a dimsum bbq hawaiian savagery. Get the crispy pork for sure, and the chicken puff, and the manapua. Haven't had a bad dish from them. Mahalo

Saturdays are for dim sum!!! The crispy pork was my favorite - I'm still drooling over that perfectly crisp pork skin. And the meat itself is juicy - not dry like some traditional Chinese BBQ places. We also got the lo mai fan, veggie chow fun, and bok choy - all great accompaniments to the pork. And get a side of shrimp toasts, you won't regret it.Sadly, i found that their actual dumplings were thick and starchy/chewy :( they were passed for me but I did appreciate that Only Ono BBQ had the only dim sum I could find in the island. Would definitely recommend for the other items - grab a BUNCH of food and picnic on one of the beautiful and quiet beaches in Paia!

Yes! I found you at Maui Matsuri festival, and now I can have your crispy roast pork whenever I go to Paia.Sooo Ono

Simple classic Chinese flavors done right. Big fan of their roast pork and char siu pork. It's tender, juicy, and well seasoned. The skin on the roast pork is crispy and the fat just melts in your mouth. The meats are ala carte and you can get 1/2 lb or 1 lb of each. The baked 4 pack manapua is on point. Bread is light and fluffy and the ratio to meat is perfect. My favorite is their egg custards. Just the right amount of sweet eggy creaminess with the flaky crust. I miss dim sum, so I'll take what I can get. Very happy with the consistency and quality of their food.
