A new chain specializing in Hawaiian plate meals is coming to DFW: Ono Hawaiian BBQ, a Hawaii-inspired fast-casual chain known for its island-style plate lunches, has 10 new restaurants under construction across Dallas–Fort Worth, including three in the Fort Worth area.
Personally, I think it’s a mistake. There are a couple of independent Hawaiian restaurants in the area, though not Fort Worth proper, and then there’s the Hawaiian Brothers chain which has several locations in/around Fort Worth. I just don’t know if there’s enough desire for Hawaiian food, delicious though it is, to support that many restaurants.
