Island White Fish & BBQ Chicken Mix
Kenny Y.

Came here for a quick pick up lunch during my work week. It was past the lunch rush at around 3pm ish so it wasn't busy inside. The interior was pretty clean and orange colored walls all around. I ordered a two item combo with white fish and teriyaki chicken. My order came out in about 10 mins. Chicken was very fresh and white fish was super crunchy. It also came with tartar sauce, macaroni salad, and of course white rice. All things inside the place went so well together, like peas and carrots. A place with consistent yummy Hawaiian food that hits the spot!

We were craving for Hawaiian food a few days ago and decided to go to Ono Hawaiian BBQ, the one on Valley Blvd. in Alhambra on Sunday. The ambiance was okay, but it was kind of too simple and dull. We ordered two Spam musubi ($6.99 each for 2 pieces), a Hawaiian BBQ Chicken mini meal ($11.29), a Kalua Pork plate lunch ($13.99), and a Kalua Combo ($14.49). My daughters liked the spam musubi, and we got two orders for them, so they each had two big pieces. The Hawaiian BBQ Chicken mini meal wasn't too mini; the portion was great with flavorful BBQ chicken, 1 scoop of rice, 1 scoop of macaroni salad, and vegetables. For my Kalua Pork plate lunch (Hawaii's version of pulled pork), I liked my slow-roasted shredded pulled pork with a bit of smoky flavor. It was served over steamed cabbage. The cabbage was a bit chewy, though. I wish the cabbage could be softer; maybe steam it a bit longer. For the Kalua Combo, besides the Kalua pork, you can pick the second choice of BBQ Chicken, Chicken Katsu, or Teriyaki Chicken. Hubby picked the Chicken Katsu. The portion was big, and it had 2 scoops of rice, one scoop of macaroni salad, and steamed veggies. You can also customize to have the sides, such as 2 scoops of macaroni salad and one scoop of rice, and one scoop of steamed veggies. (Choose your sides up to 4 for the combo.) The staff was a bit impatient and kept saying "anything else" a few times after my hubby placed his order, but I hadn't ordered any other food for my daughters, my mom, and myself. Other than that, the food came out quickly.

Teriyaki Chicken Meal
Benedict P.

This place is always the best when it comes to the perfect and delicious Teriyaki Chicken. Hands down to the staff for a great and incredible service. The ambiance here was nice and welcoming. They had decorations of Hawaii and it felt like I was actually in Hawaii and it was nice. I ordered the Teriyaki Chicken and it's my #1 favorite food to eat. It was cooked to the perfect temperature and their serving size was actually a good portion size and I would definitely come back here. Thanks Ono Hawaiian BBQ

Fish
Pam D.

There is an $8 special right now. 4 pieces of fish. Rice and salad. With a drink comes to under $13. It's really good. Nice restaurant. Helpful and friendly staff. Fairly quick service. Quiet doning area, good for quick meals. I didn't care for their tartar sauce but other sauces very good.

The Chicken Katsu

The service here is wonderful and the food here is amazing & the ambience here is excellent

Wish it had more beef

Customer service was horrible, the speed of the food was great though. I had to wait for the cashier to finish a conversation with her friend. After ordering, the cashier decided to leave her station to talk to another friend who was eating. My meal was ready but the cashier was still busy talking for over 5 minutes to her friends. Two ordered were finished being made by the time she notice. I'm never coming back.

I got a large drink with coke :)

I decided to grab some Ono's for dinner for me and my husband since I had a coupon earlier today :) Ordering process: I was surprised but I was able to call and place my order for pick up. I called around 2:49 PM, placed the order, and the employee said my order would be ready in 10 or so minutes. The ordering process was soOoO easy since I didn't have to order in person and wait. They also have online ordering available as well, which I may use next time: https://order.onohawaiianbbq.com/ Food: ++Hawaiian BBQ Mix $14.99 - comes with BBQ Chicken, BBQ Beef & Kalbi Short Ribs. You can also sub the BBQ chicken for chicken katsu, BBQ Beef or Teriyaki Chicken. -Plate Lunches include 2 scoops of rice, 1 scoop of our famous Macaroni Salad and vegetables. -Fortunately, none of the meat was charred too much. My BBQ chicken was a little toasty on the edges but it was still edible (and not as bad as the other reviews.. but I may have gotten lucky haha). -The two scoops of rice are kinda small, along with the amount of mac salad you get. Amongst the steamed veggies, there was a huge cabbage core that my husband ate lol. The kalbi short ribs were a little on the thinner side but it was properly seasoned. I had nothing to complain with the BBQ Beef. They don't give you too much meat but it's filling and just barely enough for me to share with my husband. ++Large Fountain Drink Coke - $2.69 -The drink size is pretty big. It's more than enough haha. You can choose from coke, diet coke, sprite, water, two Hi-C flavors, and I believe Fanta. Customer Service: It was good on the phone. When I called, I had asked for the Hawaiian BBQ plate and the employee asked me which one/plate, which threw me off. I wasn't looking at the menu since I was out and had been looking at the menu on my phone, but she finally realized I wanted the 'mix' haha. When I came inside the store to pick up, my order was ready.. so they were efficient and accurate on the timing. I handed the female employee my coupon and she had spent a little bit of time reading the coupon (I almost thought she wouldn't honor it). When she rang me up, I wasn't sure how much the Hawaiian BBQ Mix was for so I asked and she told me..but then she mentioned... it costs this much because you got a drink and then she kinda gave her manager a look. Yeah... well I knew that but I wanted to just make sure the cost was correct (you just never know!). Then the two workers (I'm assuming the manager + her) cracked a joke, and then I started feeling a little uncomfortable. Just a little thought, it was pretty pleasant and seamless until then. Cleanliness: The store was clean and a lot of indoor seating was available (since I came at such a random time in the afternoon). Yeah, I think I'll come back if I'm in the area and crave some Ono. I think this place is a hit or miss, but hopefully, they can be more consistent in the future!

Cannot see chicken. Maybe there's nothing inside, just rice masubi

Chicken masubi is wayy too small. You cant even see it. Its pure rice. No chicken. I will not come back to this store for my lunch break.

Not sure why this place is called Boston Lobster, but this outstanding restaurant in the San…read moreGabriel Valley focuses on Cantonese and Vietnamese flavors. Their signature dish - their "house special lobster"- is the most flavorful preparation of lobster that one can have. The lobster is fried and the juicy bites of meat is layered with garlic, green onions, and sweetness. If you're lucky, you might get some roe, which gives extra salinity. An order of lobster presently costs $34/lb and a "small lobster" will weigh 3-4 lbs; therefore, I only order this signature dish for special occasions. Even if you don't want lobster, don't fret as the rest of the menu is equally delicious. Their "yang chow fried rice", crab and fish maw soup, beef loc lac, and clams with basil sauce are all personal favorites. I love their lunch specials as their entrees come with rice, but at a slightly lower price. The food is top notch, and it brings amazing Vietnamese and Cantonese flavors to this location in the San Gabriel Valley. For a special occasion with my wife or with a group, this is always a winning pick.

First time at Boston Lobster on Lower Azusa Road and I was impressed!…read more I went with my son for a one-year-old's birthday party and somehow managed to arrive an HOUR late ‍. Thankfully, they were incredibly gracious and accommodating when we showed up. The food is served family style, so we got to sample a little bit of everything. The filet mignon medallions were delectable--tender, flavorful, and perfectly marinated. And the Lobster Noodles! This was my first time trying them and they absolutely delivered. The lobster was cut and fried in a way that made the meat tucked inside the shell really easy to get to, which made the whole experience so enjoyable. And that gravy... I was literally sucking on the lobster shell trying to get every last bit. So, so good. We also had a stir-fried green vegetable--possibly watercress--and it was delicious. Simple, savory, and cooked just right. I loved having something fresh and green alongside all the richer dishes. Great food, warm service, and such a fun meal to share with a group. I'll definitely be back.

I usually get: Salmon, Toro, Yellowtail, Scallops, and Oysters. If available, uni trays and fresh wasabi (which can also be picked up at HMart). Scallops are my favorite but every piece of fish is so good and cut perfectly. Parking and pick up is easy. It is a very small store front with one party inside at a time and pay at the counter. Highly recommend for party platters for fresh sashimi.

We had an incredible feast and would come back to reorder all of the dishes we tried this visit and more: Goi Xoai Muc ($15.99) - Mango salad with squid. Very light and refreshing. This is an unripe mango thinly cut and mixed in with traditional Vietnamese herbs. It also comes with some shrimp chips to funnel up this delicious salad. Oc Mong Tay Mo Hanh ($18.99) - Razor clams grilled with scallion oil. One of the least flavorful items by compare. Both my friend and I felt like the scallion oil was very light on these razor clams but enjoyed it with the sauces from other dishes. Oc Mo Bo Toi ($24.99) - Fat snails prepared garlic butter style. Delicious. These bigger snails makes them easier to pick them out with the skewers they serve this with. Ngheu Xao Bo Toi ($16.99) - Clams prepared garlic butter style. Yum. Juicier compared to the snails and absorbs the sauce well. The clam shell makes it easy to scoop up the sauce and drink it. Oc Len Xao Dua ($16.99) - Sea snails in a coconut milk sauce. One of my favorites but I know it's one of the more difficult ones to eat, cause you'll have to suck on it really hard to get the snail out. But the sauce is delicious and unique. So Diep Trung Cut ($15.99) - Scallops with quail eggs. Highly recommended by staff, They mentioned this was a popular dish. Very decadent. It was a smidge too much food for 2 people but when I asked my friend if she would remove anything, she mentioned it was all a good variety for the meal. Next time we'll need to come back with more friends to try more of their dishes.

Of all the Vietnamese sour soups we've had, this place was the best. It is like a savory version of a lemonade, where the sourness and sweetness is extremely intense, but perfectly balanced. I've tasted all sort items from this restaurant, from quail, to frogs, to snails, to cat fish, and everything has been executed to maximize the taste of the ingredient and sauce. Fish dishes would first be soft, flakely, moist, buttery, and then after the textures, you get hit with the intensities of the sauces.
