Got the coconut shrimp and rice and was extremely satisfied! The shrimp was hot and fresh! Loved the sweet chili sauce on the side to dunk it in. Rice was soft and cooked well. Macaroni pasta salad added in was a surprise but creamy and good! This food truck was a rare find and happy to have tried! Just fyi cash only.

Cash only! And drive around the traffic circle all the way and you’ll see it, otherwise it’s easy to miss. But you’ll be glad you found it.
Nome Ono does not have an extensive menu, but if the rest of their lineup was as good as the shrimp fried rice it’s worth the trip. They offer four or five versions of fried rice. And they have five or six entrees that they serve with steamed rice. Most choices are $18 as of today. Had I been here on my own I likely would have had one of the shrimp entrees – probably garlic shrimp or possibly coconut shrimp. But I was with my wife and she wanted the shrimp fried rice, so that’s what we went with. Easily enough for both of us, with probably seven or eight shrimp and a huge pile of well-seasoned rice with a chopped up fried egg tossed in. We had just arrived on the island and wanted a light lunch and it was perfect.
There are a handful of tables with benches with a cover to keep you out of the direct sun, and there’s a beautiful view just off to the side. Definitely worth stopping by if you’re anywhere in the neighborhood.

The best steak fried rice ever. My husband and I come back everything we come and visit. I highly recommend going to this food truck. Amazing food.
