10th Island Tiki Bar and Grill

Over-the-Rhine

 From the owners of Onolicious Hawaii, 10th Island features burgers and sandwiches, mussels, calamari, tiki cocktails, traditional shave ice and more.

“If you travel to Hawaii, you will find that not all restaurants are serving the classic dishes the island is known for,” said Vincente Benedett, who co-owns Poco Moco LLC with his wife, Elena. “However, if you go to a deli, or ‘okazuya,’ bar or grill, you’ll find that these aren’t your average establishments. Their offerings are all unique to Hawaii – and we are bringing that same uniqueness to Cincinnati with 10th Island.”

Every dish is the result of both longstanding Korean tradition and modern research and development from our very own Chicken University. It’s a tremendous amount of work, but it’s all worth it when you take that first bite.
