'Olena by Chef Ron Simon

I wish I could give this place 10 stars! My husband and I ordered the truffle fries, BBQ brisket with their signature ʻolena rice, paired with local greens and topped with a pineapple coleslaw—and wow, it was absolutely ONO. Every bite was full of flavor and so thoughtfully prepared. Beyond the food, the customer service and hospitality were truly exceptional—warm, welcoming, and genuine. To top it all off, we ended our meal with their homemade bread pudding and signature drinks, and everything was just as amazing. If you’re looking for a 5-star quality meal made with love and intention, this hidden gem is a must-visit. You can truly taste the care in every dish—especially knowing that everything is made from scratch. Highly, highly recommend!

Chef Ron and Rose are wonderful to work with. I used to purchase food from them pre-COVID when they were at the JABSOM location. We recently had them cater a private event and the food exceeded my expectations. Rose worked closely with me to build a custom menu. She was very transparent and upfront about pricing. Chef Ron did an amazing job. All of the food was flavorful and easy to eat. The brisket was melt in your mouth and the salmon were my favorites. All of the dishes shined and our guests were happy. The match and iced coffee were a wonderful touch as well. Thank you to Chef and Rose. I can't wait to work with them for future events.

Incredible service and delicious food. We tried the lemongrass tofu bahn mi which was delicious. The baguette was super soft inside with a nice crunch on the outside. The pickles were nice and crispy and sweet. The truffles fries had nice flakes of Parmesan. The lady at the register is super friendly and will explain everything and knows exactly where the ingredients all come from. Highly recommend the Filipino lemonade.
