Pono is a cafe located on Uno Street in Tamano, offering visitors a relaxed dining experience with a focus on simplicity and comfort. With operating hours from Monday to Friday, 11:30 am to 10:00 pm, it primarily caters to the lunch crowd, featuring diverse buffet-style options that aim to satisfy varying tastes. Although detailed recent updates from the owner are lacking, past visitors have appreciated the availability of English instructions, making the dining process smoother for non-Japanese speakers.
The affordable pricing makes Pono an attractive spot for diners seeking budget-friendly meals without compromising on variety. Reviews from a couple of years ago highlighted the buffet’s ability to continuously introduce different dishes throughout the dining period. Despite the appreciation shown by past diners, there remains a paucity of fresh reviews or confirmed updates on current offerings.
Service at Pono includes dine-in options only, directly reflecting its role as a local cafe hangout rather than a delivery destination. As a spot mainly known for its coffee offerings, it stands as a convenient location for those looking to enjoy a drink amid lunch or downtime. However, patrons might want to ensure the cafe maintains its quality and service through personal visits, given the gap in recent feedback.

This place is clean, open 24hrs, clear instructions for those that do not read japanese, and cheap. What more can you ask for?

As for parking, there is a monthly parking lot in front of the store, and there are several parking lots with "pono cafe" written on them, so it is easy to find. Due to the coronavirus outbreak, there were not many customers, so I went there on a Saturday around noon, but I was able to get in easily. It's spacious and has a kids space. I made it into a wrapped hamburger steak for lunch. I was told that it would take about 15 minutes to bake in the oven. It didn't taste like fish, but after eating it... I personally thought that I wouldn't come back again. It tastes like home. It had shimeji mushrooms in demi-glace sauce. The fried chicken that my companion was eating was crispy and delicious, but I wanted more salt. The fries that come with it also need a little more salt. The amount was enough to satisfy even men.
