Michael Mohica's restaurant, open for lunch and dinner, is an offshoot of his wildly successful Kanak Attack Catering Service, which specializes in bringing a Hawaiian luau, complete with hula dancers, to your door.
What ONO does is what Mohica calls Hawaiian fusion. The plates emerging from his kitchen are fresh and elegant examples of what happens to simple island food when it's put in the vice grip of a culinary education. Poke, maui onions, ogo, macadamia nuts and ginger welded together and sliced pie-shaped make a crunchy and spry sans-lettuce salad. Mohica dispenses with the shrimp and, instead, offers up skewered coconut lobster tails. The tangerine fire sauce accompanying a handful of crab rangoon is silky and sweet, but with an intense heat on the finish. Orchids purple up the plates; homemade sauces come in as many flavors as there are dishes; and ingredients are fresh from the islands when need be. Truly, Mohica's exotic, island-themed cuisine is busting with flavor.
Ultimately, says Mohica, "We want people coming here for vacation." Aside from bringing the flavors of home to his restaurant in Boise, he's bringing a bit of aloha spirit as well.
