Come out to Santa Cruz and catch some ALOHA VIBES! Great food and good people. 👍
Pono is a staple in our household for any special events we are celebrating or just a perfect place to go after a long week. I always get the Braddah Timmy bowl and it is always incredible. We were big Pono fans before they left the downtown location and we started going to the one on Capitola Rd, but we are so glad they are back in downtown Santa Cruz (with a full bar!). They did such a great job revamping the place and the courtyard is an awesome hangout spot too. The live music they have is also always great. It is my number one favorite restaurant in Santa Cruz and I always recommend it to everyone I know.
Let me tell you something about this Chinese chicken salad. When they brought this salad out to me, I felt a single tear slide down my delicately-suncreened face. The chicken? Juicy. Flavorful as all hell. The salad? Crunch. Yum. The MANDARIN ORANGE SLICES??? Sweet and sexy reminds me of childhood before lexapro. The sesame dressing? Light and wonderful. God-tier salad. I am complete.
