Ai Pono Cafe is a great spot in Costa Mesa if you’re craving legit Hawaiian food. Everything tastes fresh, flavorful, and made with care. The portions are solid and the quality is always consistent. You can really tell they take pride in what they’re serving. Friendly service and a great local vibe make this place an easy go-to whenever I’m in the area. Definitely worth checking out.

Came in and place was very nice and I Got a side of the guava chili chicken and the dirty lickin Korean chicken in a plate and everything was Ono! Came with rice slaw and Mac salad and The slaw was top notch, Mac was really good and so was the rice but the chicken was really tender and had so much flavor, and I got a couple of sauces on the side and I forgot the names but the white one was the best! Also added a POG and a Rice Krispie treat as well, so much good stuff they got here, definitely worth it and I’ll be back to try more items on the menu

The restaurant has a nice vibe to it. Cheeky wall art & staff clothing. The menu is extensive and out of the ordinary Hawaiian. The Crackhead chicken with coconut rice and a good macaroni salad was my favorite meal.
