Plano food lovers have a delicious new reason to celebrate: Ono Hawaiian BBQ has officially opened its first-ever Texas restaurant right here in the city, marking a milestone for both the popular chain and the North Texas dining scene.

The opening, reported by Local Profile, represents the brand’s debut in the Lone Star State, making Plano the launching pad for what could become a broader Texas presence. Ono Hawaiian BBQ is known for its plate lunches and island-style comfort food — think tender kalua pork, teriyaki chicken, and macaroni salad — dishes rooted in the rich culinary traditions of Hawaii.

For Plano residents, the arrival of Ono Hawaiian BBQ adds a flavorful new option to an already vibrant and diverse local restaurant community. The city has long been a destination for food enthusiasts across the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex, and a brand-new cuisine category only deepens that reputation.

The fact that Plano was chosen as the site for Ono Hawaiian BBQ’s Texas debut speaks to the city’s growing appeal as a place where national and regional brands want to plant their flag. It also means new jobs for local residents and fresh foot traffic for the surrounding area.

Whether you’re a longtime fan of Hawaiian plate lunches or simply curious to try something new, Ono Hawaiian BBQ’s Plano location offers a welcoming taste of aloha spirit — no plane ticket required. Keep an eye on the restaurant’s hours and location details as the newest addition to Plano’s dining landscape settles in and gets ready to serve the community.
