    Diamond Head Chicken Bowl
    Kevin P.

    Updating to 5 stars. It's been a long while that I have been back to Ohana BBQ. I use to come here to pick up lunch all the time when we use to live in the neighborhood. Their food hasn't changed at all. It's still fantastic and the portions are still massive. The prices did go up a little but still worth it. This recent visit I ordered the Diamond Head Chicken bowl dark meat. The was fantastic the dark meat chicken was moist and tender. The bowl itself was good enough for two person. Ohana BBQ is probably one of the best Hawaiian/Korean BBQ in the Valley. They keep their quality up to par. Definitely with the visit you're craving delicious Hawaiian food. Plus they have many different plates of meat and salad to choose from. Remember the place is small with about 4-5 tables and can get really smoky from grilling the meat to order.

    BBQ CHICKEN WHITE MEAT PLATE. Delicious chicken (and you get a ton of it) , mac salad, spicy cucumbers and plenty of rice.

    I'm a sucker for Hawaiian food, especially really good Hawaiian food. I assume everyone else is, too. This is a small restaurant in a small strip mall. There is a good amount of free parking but you might have to fight a little for it. There are a few tables inside for dining or you can just get takeout. We tried two plate lunches, one with teriyaki chicken and the other with chicken katsu (cutlet) and beef ribs (the Waikiki Special gives you your choice of two proteins). You get your choice of two sides (we both got mac salad and spicy cucumbers). You get an a month's supply of rice with each order. Everything is cooked to order so be patient. The chicken katsu is crazy good and you get a big fat fail if you don't try this. The chicken teriyaki is very nice and you get a ginormous portion. The ribs are very flavorful but I found them a little tough. They cost an additional $4.00 and I would suggest choosing something else. The mac salad was creamy and delicious. The spicy cucumbers were very fresh but not as spicy as I hoped. You're not going to be hungry after ordering here and the food is high quality. Get that katsu for sure and make sure you get some of those complimentary fantastic teriyaki sauces.

    This is such an unassuming place for a five star kind of café and Hawaiian/Korean type of food. You can get very special cold noodles that have a great sauce that I have not tried before with grilled chicken and I would say overall refreshing and it seems healthy. We also got the chicken Katsu for the kids and they love that. The only thing I would say is adding the spam musubi. They were quite different because the spam was grilled instead of being put in soy sauce. The service was good kind of like a café setting and I would say the price is reasonable for the amount of food that they give you. Honestly, the sauces were really what make this place so great and five stars you really wanna try them all.

    When I want some lean grilled chicken bbq, this is where I go. My usual is the dark grilled chicken combo, that comes with the rice and 2 sides. Today I went with spicy cucumber side as well as the potato salad. Both sides were fresh and delicious and as always, the star of the show is the protein. The grill the dark chicken filet to perfection on a fire grill and 30 seconds later it's on your plate for you to devour. The chicken has nice char flavor, juicy and delicious. I like to add a little soy sauce and I generally apply their delicious teriyaki sauce all over the chicken and rice. Each bite is great, yummy and healthy. The ambiance is pretty cool, as the plaza was rebuilt and comes with a variety of little restaurants. Parking isn't hard to find either. Inside Ohana, you will find 5-6 tables a nice crew of people working there, ready to dish out next delicious combo plate. Will definitely return again!

    service was great and fast! the food was delicious! I will definitely be coming back soon, the macaroni salad was my favorite

    The food was so good! I didn't know what to expect but for my first time, I was definitely impressed with not only how much food you get but also the taste. I will say we did wait a little long but thankfully it was worth the wait. The place is a little small so you may want to do to take out during their busy hours but it's nice and the bathroom was clean. Will definitely be back.

    WAIKIKI SPECIAL PLATE
    Doris R.

    For $22.99 I got a choice of 2 proteins with salad & mix of macaroni/potato scoop that I chose for my side, along with rice. When the food arrived to our table I immediately noticed that the proteins were kinda almost cold. Which I don't understand because I saw the cooks grilling the chicken right up front. I assumed we were going to get some of that. But I was wrong. The protein didn't come out streaming hot. I guess they just cook a lot at the same time and leave it in a container. I did get a hefty amount of white rice for both proteins. I'll admit that, but when it comes to the side (Mac/potato salad?) was misleading as for the pictures on yelp I seen the combo with 1 good scoop of the classic Hawaiian Mac salad. I was thrown off. We got 1 tiny ass scoop of that. So disappointing. Although we did get a good amount of the chicken and beef. It was still in my opinion overall way too overpriced....

    WIKI WIKI NOODLE (CHAP CHAE)
    Kelly L.

    Visited on early evening Thursday with my friend. I pulled into the parking lot and wasn't sure if I was in the right spot because the restaurant signage isn't great. But, my friend has been before which is the only reason I knew it must be right. It wasn't busy so we immediately ordered and sat down. The staff was friendly, and the food didn't take too long. I ordered the Wiki Wiki Noodles with White Meat Chicken. I spent about $25. I thought it was tasty - the star of the dish was definitely the chicken. Very juicy and flavorful. The noodles were pretty dry so I added some sauce. The portion sizes are pretty big! I had some leftovers at the end. Overall, the food was fine but it didn't impress me. For the price, I didn't think it was very worth it. Might try another dish if I decide to revisit. Parking: Free spacious parking lot!!

    Courtney S.

    Great food and good service. Prices are a bit high but the portions are large. Highly suggest you try their kimchi!

    Spicy BBQ PORK PLATE (Comes with salad)
    Darian H.

    I was craving Hawaiian BBQ and had to stop by! I ordered the spicy bbq pork combo! It was really good, but I wouldn't say it was spicy, but very flavorful! The macaroni salad was good. It took maybe 5 minutes for the food to be ready. I definitely want to come back and try the bbq chicken and the spam!!

    Wiki wiki noodles w/dark meat chicken
    Mariela O.

    Always impressed coming here! So much so, I tell people about this place or I'll bring them with me to taste this deliciousness. I always get the wiki wiki noodles with dark meat chicken and the bbq chicken dark meat with rice and macaroni salad. They are always a hit! Located in a small plaza on Ventura, parking is limited now as they're constructing a building in that plaza but I'm sure eventually there is enough. Service is usually always fast and great, getting you your food on time. You can now also order through one of their computer/kiosks which is convenient when it gets busy. Friendly staff and very attentive, there are tables for you to sit and enjoy your food but I have also seen a lot of people order takeout. It's always a treat when I eat Ohana bbq.

    1/2 Supah salad
    Aprille C.

    If you come from the parking lot west you can see the sign. We made a mistake and parked next door. So when we walked into the strip mall, we couldn't see the sign. And there is a big hedge separating the parking lot and the walkway. So we couldn't just go look for the sign. And there's nothing on the windows. So that's annoying. It's a small place. We decided on the 1/2 Supah salad(was pretty big) because the full size was $19.99. It was like an Asian chicken salad- delicious. And we got the pork ribs plate with macaroni salad. It came with a little green salad and rice. The ribs were good. But they were drenched in a sauce that we didn't love. Kinda spenda for a small place.

    House made kimchi. It's mix Napa cabbage and cucumbers.

Bludso's brisket is tender and marinated just right. While some briskets are too salty, Bludso's maintains a light and balanced flavor profile, which lets me enjoy the flavor of the beef. However, be warned that some leaner cuts might be a tad bit dry. The pork ribs were also great. although they weren't "fall off the bone" soft, it's still one of the best ones I've had in LA. The sides were also good. They weren't mind blowing but they were definitely comforting. Overall, Bludso's is a great BBQ spot that I would come to again and again. Definitely one of the best in LA. Note: I do have to say that if you're from Texas, you might not be "wow'd". Franklin BBQ in Austin is leagues above both Bludso's and Moo's (first time in my life having brisket melt in my mouth!!). But if you've never left LA, Bludso's will probably be the some of the best BBQ you've had in your life!

Food was quick, obviously made earlier But food was just barely warm. Pork ribs were good, a bit dry but tasty. Disappointed with brisket, ordered 1/4 lb, only got 4 bites, half of this $12 piece was pure fat, Sad that the cook would plate this. Brisket was okay, also also dry. Sauces were good, tasty but not memorable. For LA this is probably decent BBQ, would probably go back, but would not go out of my way. Would like to try hot fresh food on a weekend and see a wider beer selection. Didn't get a thank you or goodbye upon leaving. Bottom line: Pricey for the quality and portions, would have given 4 stars if food was warm and I left full, but price was over $50 for just me and I would have liked to eat the rest of the brisket. 1/4 Brisket $12 ** 1/4 Rack Pork Ribs $12 *** 1/2 Pint Potato Salad $7 *** IPA $8.50 *** Tax 3.85 Tip $7.80

We did go around 1:30 pm on a Thursday, so did not have much of an issue with finding street parking. Inside the restaurant, they have plenty of seating indoors and outdoors.

The burger was great. It was soft, great flavor and was just really solid. One of the best burgers I've had. The ribs were everyone's least favorite, but that just means the other food tasted better. Ribs were still good. All the sides were delicious as well. The Texas chili was great, the Mac and cheese was creamy and the potato salad tasted homemade. We could tell it was made in house. The sweet iced tea was refreshing, not overly sweet b Overall, I'll have to come back here to try their desserts and other items. I'll for sure be getting the burger and brisket again.
