Five great … Hawaiian restaurants

Ono Hawaiian Grill. Surfboards and tiki torches aside, it’s chef/owner Michael Lacy’s mouthwatering coconut shrimp and fresh ahi that bring patrons from afar. A super-size option will satisfy even the big kahuna’s appetite. $$. 3048 N. Cabrillo Hwy.; 650/726-8114.
