Another new category in this year’s OnMilwaukee Best of Dining poll brings a new winner to the forefront, as the Tosa-based Hawaiian market, deli and caterer Ono Kine Grindz took the prize for Milwaukee’s best takeout.
Hawaiian food is not a familiar food option here in the dramatically colder northern Midwest, but Ono Kine Grindz and its passionate taste of the Pacific has clearly been converting folks and expanding horizons. The Tosa restaurant’s menu features items ranging from the Kalua pig – traditional Hawaiian pulled pork – to Chinese style barbecued chicken to ahi tuna to saimin – ramen done Hawaiian style – and more.
Voted “Best Deli” and “BBQ” in Milwaukee!

Li Hing Carrot-Pineapple Slaw
This sweet and tangy side combines the pleasant texture and taste of slivered carrots with the acidity and sugary punch of pineapple. Spiced with powdered Li Hing Mui, a Chinese salted dried plum, this creamy/crunchy slaw has become a local favorite.
